[00:22] <charliebucket> exit
[00:53] <skellat> A blast of a vuvuzela might echo resoundingly right now
[01:03] <Derath-Srvr> hi all
[01:03] <skellat> Good evening
[01:03] <Derath-Srvr> brb for the meeting, wife is calling for me
[01:04] <Derath-Srvr> Okay, back
[01:05] <jacob> sorry i'm late -- miss much?
[01:05] <Derath-Srvr> Cammaaron, I had the same problem a couple weeks ago... co-worker and I showed up and no one was there...
[01:05] <Derath-Srvr> Couldn't miss much when we were waiting on you jacob :)
[01:05] <skellat> This is one of those very rare instances when I'm not at work and can be here!
[01:06] <jacob> hehe :D
[01:08] <jacob> gilbert: you around?
[01:08] <jacob> i don't see itsafork
[01:08]  * Cheri703 is here
[01:09] <Derath-Srvr> Ya know, I haven't seen titim in a long time as well...
[01:09] <jacob> Derath-Srvr: indeed
[01:09] <Derath-Srvr> Unless he changed names... didn't agree with that one anyways
[01:09] <jacob> heh heh
[01:10] <jacob> i suppose we should get something going then, anyway :)
[01:10]  * skellat wonders what the final attendee count will be
[01:11] <jacob> first off, i'd like to apologize personally for being very... idle the past few months. coursework has been rather demanding, but i'm going to try to devote some more time to the loco
[01:11] <thafreak> am i late?
[01:11] <jacob> thafreak: nah, just starting (I was late ;)
[01:11] <thafreak> cool
[01:13] <gilch> so what exactly is planned for this columbus meeting in a couple weeks?
[01:13] <jacob> the main reason for this meeting is to touch base with everyone on the status of the Columbus event, see where things are headed, and get things planned in a more concrete fashion.
[01:13] <skellat> jacob: According to the mailing list we lost the April 30th date.  Do we have a new one set?
[01:14] <jacob> skellat: not that I'm aware of. we can take this opportunity to select another date, however. :)
[01:14] <Cheri703> I vote for a saturday
[01:15] <Derath-Srvr> There was talk about doing it on Sunday the 1st...
[01:15] <Derath-Srvr> (last that I heard from gilbert)
[01:15] <jacob> Derath-Srvr: that's about as much as I know as well
[01:15] <skellat> For any event we need to have some lead time to announce it, too.
[01:15] <jacob> skellat: you are absolutely right
[01:15] <Cheri703> dmcglone may have reserved the room on the 1st
[01:15] <Cheri703> I can't remember
[01:15] <thafreak> I thought some one reserved may 1?
[01:16] <jacob> I don't believe anything is actually reserved at the moment. :/
[01:17] <skellat> The last note from Gilbert that I saw was that we missed reserving anything and that Columbus Metropolitan Library is a little booked up right now.
[01:17] <skellat> There was some limited chatter about needing to select an alternative venue
[01:17] <jacob> ^. which we should definitely discuess
[01:17] <jacob> discuss* I can't type today
[01:18]  * Cheri703 is going to check logs to see if a room was actually reserved
[01:19] <gilch> any idea how many people we are expecting to show?
[01:19] <jacob> Cheri703: dmcglone emailed me about a week ago that the room hasn't been reserved, because we don't have a clear plan
[01:19] <thafreak> yeah, check the irc logs...i swear some one typed the phrase, ok it's reserved
[01:20] <skellat> jacob: I sent a husk of a press release to the council's list as it was since we didn't have a plan enunciated
[01:21] <jacob> skellat: I saw, and it's very well written, thanks for that :)
[01:21] <skellat> jacob: I just wish we had more to put in it!
[01:21] <jacob> skellat: I'm with you. hence this meeting
[01:23] <Cheri703> found it!
[01:23] <Cheri703> Apr 14 20:26:45 <dmcglone>	Your meeting room request for Main Library 3rd Floor Board Room on Sunday, May 01, 2011, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM has been received and is pending. You will be notified if there is a problem with the request.
[01:23] <jacob> anyway, I'm all ears for the most part. by the end of this meeting, it'd be nice to have answers to the where, when, and how
[01:23] <jacob> Cheri703: hmm.
[01:23] <jacob> well then.
[01:23] <Cheri703> I knew I'd seen it
[01:23] <Cheri703> I mean, I'm sure it could be canceled if necessary
[01:23] <jacob> that's more recent, for sure. in that case... we're good on that front. :P
[01:24] <skellat> jacob: Did we ever hear that it was confirmed, though?  That's six days old.
[01:24] <Cheri703> he didn't specify
[01:24] <Cheri703> well, let me check the site to see if it's reserved
[01:24] <jacob> good idea
[01:25] <Cheri703> it shows a reservation in there from 1-5, so I'd say so (it doesn't say WHO has it, but that's probably us)
[01:26] <jacob> it's likely; though we should probably get confirmation
[01:26] <jacob> i'll send him an email if he doesn't appear tonight to ask
[01:27] <Cheri703> jacob: when we get done with this topic, I have one thing for you about the website
[01:27] <jacob> Cheri703: allrighty
[01:28] <gilch> are we talking about the Columbus Metropolitan Library?
[01:28] <Cheri703> yes, the main branch downtown
[01:29] <jacob> ^
[01:30] <jacob> anyway, assuming that's all reserved -- is there anything of note that we should set up for the event? (sorry I seem a bit out of the loop, I'm running on 2 hours of sleep :P)
[01:31] <skellat> jacob: My crew won't be there as I've worked all of the 16 Sundays so far this year at my day job and only have #17 off because it is Easter
[01:32] <Cheri703> this is the list of things provided there: Maximum Capacity: 30, Standard Fixtures: Microwave, Refrigerator, Sink, Whiteboard, Wireless access, Standard Equipment: Cables to connect laptops, LCD Projector, TV/DVD
[01:32] <jacob> skellat: aww, that's too bad :/
[01:32] <skellat> jacob: That being said, having a digital voice recorder on-hand would be useful for recording something or other to release on Burning Circle
[01:32] <jacob> valid point
[01:33] <Cheri703> I'm not sure about chairs/tables and such
[01:34] <jacob> Cheri703: interesting, they don't list anything about that?
[01:34] <Cheri703> Tables and chairs are available.
[01:34] <Cheri703> it was on another page
[01:34] <jacob> ah, ok. gooood. :)
[01:35] <skellat> Okay, the room's max capacity is 30 so a microphone and voice recorder are going to be essential so that others can take part after the fact.  What sort of speaking and/or presentations do we want to see go down?
[01:35] <skellat> State of the LoCo?
[01:36] <skellat> The Joys of Unity?
[01:36] <jacob> should we send out a call for speakers to the list or some sort?
[01:36] <skellat> I would narrow down topic areas first.
[01:37] <Cheri703> might toss in a suggestion box for ubucon at OLF...just a thought
[01:38] <jacob> Cheri703: now that you mention it, I got an email about that today
[01:38] <jacob> (in short, to start planning for that)
[01:38] <skellat> How about: Suggestion Box For Ubucon with a member of the High Council facilitating, First Impressions Of Unity, 2-minute bits about projects attendees are working on...
[01:39] <skellat> At least 10-15 minutes would be good for introductions at the start
[01:40] <jacob> skellat: I like those ideas
[01:40] <Cheri703> is there any loco budget for refreshments? at least beverages?
[01:40] <skellat> Cheri703: As keeper of the funds, I should note that the High Council last told me to conserve the funds still on-hand for OLF2011 costs
[01:41] <Cheri703> understandable
[01:41] <gilch> i agree
[01:41] <gilch> save for OLF
[01:41]  * Derath-Srvr nods
[01:41] <jacob> (I have no opinion on the matter, but OLF was the choice last time it was brought up in a meeting)
[01:42] <Cheri703> perhaps it can be semi-potluck, finger foods/drinks/etc. nothing messy since we're responsible for clean-up
[01:42] <skellat> That'll be for the best.  How about making it bringing cookies and bottled water?
[01:42] <Cheri703> that works, I can bake something :)
[01:43] <skellat> Cookies are usually the easiest to clean up
[01:44] <Cheri703> yeah, also perhaps a "help clean up and we'll meet up somewhere to eat afterwards" since it's done at 5. just a thought
[01:44] <jacob> +1
[01:44] <gilch> if i remember correctly, i once saw somewhere on the community pages where we can post an event and you could post if you were attending or not.
[01:44] <gilch> does that ring a bell to anyone?
[01:45] <jacob> the LoCo directory has something like that.
[01:45] <skellat> gilch: There was something for Global Jam for doing that but that wasn't on the team's server
[01:45] <jacob> (afk for a moment)
[01:45] <skellat> jacob: If that is available on the LoCo Directory then we need to plug that functionality hard so that we make use of it more
[01:45] <Cheri703> as much as I hate it, perhaps a fb event could be made?
[01:47] <skellat> Cheri703: Maybe.  I'd avoid that by getting a press release out to a few media outlets across the state so they could put it in their upcoming events calendar features.
[01:47] <Cheri703> that'd work
[01:49] <skellat> Cheri703: The easiest way to distribute the release would be for ReLoCo groups to send it onward to what they think are the bigger media outlets in their areas.  I figure hitting at least one newspaper and one radio station in each ReLoCo's area would provide decent coverage.
[01:49] <gilch> loco.ubuntu.com/events
[01:49] <skellat> gilch: Thank you for finding that!
[01:49] <jacob> that is it
[01:49] <skellat> If we can put the event there the press release can reflect that for people to find more info.
[01:51] <jacob> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/910/detail/ <- registered an event stub
[01:52] <skellat> Excellent.  I can get the press release edited later to reflect that.
[01:53] <gilch> nice
[01:55] <gilch> is it possible to get some CDs of Natty by then?
[01:56] <jacob> gilch: CDs are in processing; they _should_ be shipped to Jon (itsafork) by the time the event comes
[01:57] <Derath-Srvr> was thinking the same thing... I have an event coming up may 14th that i would need cds for
[01:57] <skellat> Add a card table plus some purple tablecloth from a dollar store so that somebody could be set up outside the meeting room to distribute discs
[01:58] <gilch> actually.. jacob, do you still have the banner from OLF last year?
[01:58] <jacob> gilch: indeed I do
[01:58] <skellat> That would work too
[01:58] <jacob> can definitely bring that
[01:59] <skellat> Optimally disc distribution would be a hook to get people inside to check out presentations, perhaps.
[01:59] <jacob> indeed
[02:00] <gilch> so what else?
[02:00] <Cheri703> maybe print out a description of the talks, print out a flyer about ubuntu loco and/or print up business cards or something to also put on the table (talk descriptions could be taped to door or something)
[02:01] <Derath-Srvr> I still have a box of business cards
[02:01] <Cheri703> ok
[02:02] <skellat> Cheri703: A general flyer about the LoCo would be good.  Even at the best planned academic conference, descriptions of talks & sessions are kept general in case things go madly off in all directions.
[02:02] <Cheri703> yeah, true
[02:03] <gilch> in my mind, i pictured the talks being a little less formal. i mean if someone has an idea of something they want to talk about, we can for sure advertise it...
[02:03] <Cheri703> k
[02:03] <gilch> but i dont think we need a 2:00 - 2:30, sam is giving a presentation on Unity...
[02:03] <skellat> There should be a thread binding presentations together, though.
[02:03] <gilch> or specifics like that
[02:04] <skellat> I'd go for something thematic.  1300-1400 is hardcore discussion of Unity, 1400-1500 is more beginner-focused...
[02:05] <jacob> I like the sound of that
[02:05] <skellat> A "Q&A For The Curious" about Linux would probably be good too
[02:06] <gilch> ok. i can live with that
[02:07] <skellat> How about this: Q&A For The Curious then Overview of Natty then progressively more geeky themes
[02:08] <skellat> I suppose that would kinda be like an in-person analogue to Open Week
[02:09] <gilbert> hey, sorry i'm late for the meeting
[02:09] <gilbert> (really late)
[02:10] <Cheri703> we're still going :)
[02:11] <jacob> gilbert: heya, what's up
[02:13] <gilch> jacob: on a side note, i have to talk to you about cr-48 sometime
[02:13] <jacob> gilch: mmm, yesss :D
[02:13] <skellat> Can anybody recap for gilbert's benefit what we've thrashed out so far?
[02:13] <jacob> fancy little device.
[02:14] <gilbert> skellat: just scanned through the log, so i'm caught up
[02:14] <gilch> yeah i almost bricked mine. :(
[02:14] <gilbert> so, room is *not* reserved (at least by me)
[02:14] <jacob> gilch: I haven't experimented much
[02:14] <jacob> gilbert: dmcglone may have reserved it recently
[02:15] <gilbert> jacob: ok, i'll follow-up with him
[02:15] <jacob> gilbert: allrighty
[02:15] <gilbert> in the meantime, it's coming up soon, and we don't really have a plan (and that's my fault since i've been so busy lately)
[02:15] <gilbert> i wonder if we shouldn't push it back a few weeks?
[02:16] <jacob> it's no one person's fault, we all really dropped the ball.
[02:16] <gilch> gilbert: we kind of have a plan now
[02:16] <jacob> and gilch is right to an extent :)
[02:16] <gilbert> gilch: oh, what's that? i didn't pick that up from quickly scanning the chat
[02:17] <skellat> gilbert: It involves a card table
[02:17] <jacob> heh.
[02:17] <Cheri703> we wouldn't want to decide that without firmly understanding cancellation policies (one of the "reasons for declining a reservation" includes "not showing up for scheduled timeslots" so...we'd need to make sure it's cool to change it)
[02:18] <gilch> well, it appears as if we have a time slot reserved. and we have discussed a time-slot type talks Unity, Beginners, etc
[02:18] <skellat> And a card table bearing a banner set up outside the room for discs to be handed out and otherwise be the hook to get people inside
[02:18] <jacob> I think having concrete talks may be the main issue, but we're going somewhere, at least.
[02:19] <gilch> the big thing is the just making sure that 1-5 slot is in fact ours
[02:19] <jacob> that too
[02:19] <gilbert> jacob: i can send a "call for talks" to the ml
[02:19] <gilch> if we do not here from dmcglone by tomorrow, can we call the library and find out
[02:20] <skellat> We've got the event up on the locoevents list which means we could finish up the press release and focus on getting details onto the locoevents listing with the press release merely pointing people towards the locoevents listing
[02:20] <jacob> gilbert: that's what i was thinking, though skellat mentioned it might be a good idea to come up with some topics at first
[02:20] <skellat> gilbert: Carving out broad thematic areas for talks to fall within would make setting things up a little easier
[02:21] <gilbert> skellat: agreed
[02:21] <gilch> skellat: i like your ideas about Unity and Beginners
[02:21] <skellat> Unity, Natty Overview, and "Q&A For The Curious" are three things I've already thrown out there
[02:22] <gilch> yes, those
[02:22] <gilbert> so, i was thinking a couple hours at the beginning for informal stuff anyway: help with installs, question/answers, education, things like that
[02:22] <Cheri703> maybe also some info on 10.04 lts and/or 10.10 (not necessarily a talk, but info available, for those who are turned off by the unity interface)
[02:22] <skellat> gilbert: Only have four hours for the event, though
[02:22] <gilbert> skellat: that sounds like a good starter list
[02:23] <gilbert> skellat: yeah, but i don't think we're going to get enough speakers for that whole time
[02:23] <Cheri703> skellat, gilbert: we could have it set up with chairs/place for speaker on one side, and a "come here with questions/for help" area on the other side
[02:23] <Cheri703> just quietly discuss over there
[02:23] <skellat> gilbert: Don't forget to leave time for Q&A after presentations
[02:24] <gilbert> skellat: true
[02:24] <gilch> Cheri: i like that
[02:24] <Cheri703> that way if someone isn't interested in a particular talk, or already knows the material, they can help/socialize a bit over there
[02:25] <gilbert> Cheri703: seems doable
[02:25] <skellat> Cheri703: That works as long as the room is big enough
[02:25] <Cheri703> if someone has some of those "hi my name is" tags, that'd be good
[02:25] <skellat> Cheri703: I wonder if there is a LibreOffice template that can be customized for making those name tags
[02:26] <Cheri703> probably something available
[02:26] <Cheri703> if nothing else, I have a bunch of 3x5 cards and someone can bring tape :)
[02:26] <gilch> alright, i'm off. good talk guys. i will read the rest of the logs in the morning
[02:26] <skellat> gilch: Goodnight
[02:28] <jacob> i may need to head out soon as well, but i'll stay around as long as i can
[02:29] <Cheri703> jacob: my question for you on the website: there are multiple relocos (I believe, definitely at least ours) that aren't on http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/reloco  it'd be great if that could get updated
[02:29] <gilbert> so, have we decided who is taking responsibility for the various things that need to get done?
[02:29] <jacob> Cheri703: was just about to ask :)
[02:29] <gilbert> Cheri703: i'd prefer to move that info to the wiki (which i think anyone can change)
[02:29] <Cheri703> well, statement. if at least mansfield could get added, or a call made to the list for any others that need to be put on there
[02:30] <Cheri703> ok
[02:30] <jacob> Cheri703: hmm, yes, that page is sorely out-of-date
[02:30] <Cheri703> then we need to point there from that page
[02:30] <Cheri703> because that's what people will likely see first
[02:30] <Cheri703> or remove it all together
[02:30] <gilbert> Cheri703: yes, i'd remove it
[02:30] <jacob> Cheri703: i'll make a note to get that page updated here real soon
[02:30] <gilbert> Cheri703: i'd like to move everything to the wiki
[02:30] <jacob> or removal, actually, wiki is a good point
[02:31] <Cheri703> ok
[02:31] <jacob> in fact: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ReLoCos
[02:31] <jacob> would anyone object if the page on the website redirected to there?
[02:31] <skellat> jacob: That would work nicely
[02:32] <Cheri703> yeah, that'd be fine with me
[02:33] <gilbert> jacob: that would be good
[02:33] <jacob> updated the site navigation to point there :)
[02:34] <gilbert> on that subject, it would be nice for all of the reloco leads add their prefered email address there?
[02:35] <Cheri703> uhm, I'd prefer not to...perhaps a "if you'd like to contact your reloco, email the list for info"
[02:35] <Cheri703> or something
[02:35] <Derath-Srvr> Also to add to the reloco thing... Dayton is in need of a new reloco lead
[02:35] <Cheri703> because I'm definitely going to notice someone emailing about the mansfield reloco
[02:36] <Cheri703> also, added ours :) thanks
[02:36] <gilbert> Derath-Srvr: you've gotta tap a replacement out there ;)
[02:36] <Derath-Srvr> Again, aside from paulv, i know of none others that are capable nor interested
[02:36] <gilbert> Derath-Srvr: in fact i could use your help in columbus.  i wasn't able to attend the regularly scheduled hour tonight :(
[02:37] <Derath-Srvr> And I can't say that I can attend them regularly either...
[02:37] <Derath-Srvr> btw, that campus is a pita is find parking in...
[02:37] <Derath-Srvr> and getting over there was challenging as well
[02:37] <gilbert> Derath-Srvr: true, we should probably find a location with easier access
[02:37] <jacob> Derath-Srvr: gotta love the expensive parking :P
[02:38] <gilbert> Derath-Srvr: but being close to campus is nice since it makes it a short trip for students
[02:38] <gilbert> Derath-Srvr: we could try something near columbus state instead
[02:38] <Cheri703> actually (though it doesn't affect me at all) I'd say you guys should try further north somewhere
[02:40] <Cheri703> parking expands as you go north
[02:41] <jacob> sorry, i've got to sign off. will check the logs tomorrow, but we're making progress. cheers all
[02:42]  * Derath-Srvr shrugs
[02:42] <gilbert> gotta go too.  appologies for the late appearance and short stay.
[02:43] <skellat> Goodnight everybody.  Let us not forget to get the venue confirmed Thursday.  All the planning kinda hinges on that.
[02:44] <Unit193> I think that just ended the meeting...
[02:45] <skellat> Unit193: It happens
[02:47] <Unit193> skellat: Did you happen to get the email I sent awhile ago? ( paultag told me to contact you)
[02:48] <skellat> Unit193: I can't recall.  I had systems die on me to where I was stuck with just a smartphone for a while.  I ended up purchasing new hardware from System76.
[02:50] <Unit193> skellat: Getting stuck with just a smartphone couldn't have been to easy to get everything done...
[02:50] <skellat> Unit193: Nope.
[02:51] <Unit193> skellat: I'm the guy that had two Mac G3s
[02:52] <skellat> Unit193: Ah, yes.  How are those working for you?
[02:55] <Unit193> skellat: Still running Mac os 8.6 and 9.0. I was haveing issues with installing and with Ubuntu dropping PPC ports, I'm thinking maybe debian would be better.
[02:57] <skellat> Unit193: PPC isn't officially supported but it is available.  The best way to go would be to install using the minimal installer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[02:57] <skellat> Unit193: Building from that is usually the easiest way to go.  It would be roughly the same install experience Debian would give you.
[03:01] <skellat> Unit193: I gotta go for the night.  Hopefully those images help you get started installing.
[03:04] <Unit193> Hello itsafork
[03:05] <itsafork> hey guys, sorry i missed the meeting. my final got rescheduled & i just got out of it
[03:06] <itsafork> what did i miss from the meeting???
[03:06] <itsafork> hey Unit193!! how've you been??
[03:06] <Unit193> Good?
[03:07] <Unit193> You?
[03:07] <itsafork> i've been well! & employeed! lol
[03:08] <Unit193> You sounded very excited!
[03:09] <itsafork> haha! of course,  it's always a good thing to pay your rent on time
[03:09] <Unit193> They are going to have random talks at the thing in C-bus (from 1-5)
[03:10] <itsafork> is there a sign-up sheet/list for doing giving talks??
[03:10] <Unit193> It was going to be sent on the ML
[03:11] <itsafork> well at least we aren't just standing up there picking our noses & saying "hi, this is ubuntu"
[03:12] <Unit193> Unity, Natty Overview, and "Q&A For The Curious" are some ideas
[03:13] <itsafork> huh! ok, i'm liking the sounds of these so far
[03:13] <Unit193> (Other then you being one of the LoCo leads) Am I supposed to know you?
[03:19] <itsafork> honestly, a lot of people are supprised to realise who i actually am when that meet me face to face.
[03:21] <itsafork> where you at OLF last year?? i was the LoCoHio contact running all of that show, & helping to put all of that together
[03:21] <itsafork> of course with TONS of help from Amber Graner
[03:21] <Unit193> No, the only thing I have been to is Ubuntu Hour
[03:23] <itsafork> which i'm usually still at work or in class during, unfortunately

[03:39] <Cheri703> I left my old job because my bosses were insane jerks
[03:46] <Unit193> Cheri703: Would you be going (if you could go) for the whole thing?
[03:48] <canthus13> Has there actually been a decision on what exactly the thing in C-bus is?
[03:51] <Cheri703> uhm, if I can drive, then yeah, if I'm a passenger, then as long as my ride stays
