| hakimsheriff | Hey Guys | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| dscassel | Hi, hakimsheriff | 00:04 |
| dscassel | Just getting set up now... Sorry for the delay | 00:04 |
| dscassel | Meeting time... | 00:05 |
| hakimsheriff | I have two meetings at the same time | 00:05 |
| dscassel | Mass call! genii-around kavurt pillow billybigrigger Guest95519 kenjy ryanakca BobJonkman KombuchaKip sipherdee bregma IdleOne komputes txwikinger cyphermox james_w Drossel jburkholder willwh Jeruvy MagicFab zeroedout FiReSTaRT Kamondelious Mobidoy ZykoticK9 | 00:06 |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel: What can I do for you? | 00:06 |
| MagicFab | o/ | 00:06 |
| dscassel | Meeting time, if you're interested. :) | 00:07 |
| dscassel | Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-06-14 | 00:07 |
| dscassel | Feel free to introduce yourselves... | 00:07 |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel: I'll be voyeuristic, but can't guarantee I have much to contribute. | 00:07 |
| dscassel | s'cool. | 00:08 |
| dscassel | Anyway, I'm Darcy, in Waterloo and I'm one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada. | 00:09 |
| hakimsheriff | Im Hakim Sheriff, in Montreal, and I distribute free "prowered by Ubuntu" stickers for System 76 | 00:10 |
| MagicFab | Hi! Fabian here -> mostly U-Quebec contact - these days playing a lot with kvm, GLPI and Zentyal | 00:10 |
| zeroedout | Hi, my name is Alishams Hassam. I'm a director at Free Geek Vancouver. Trying to get the gtalk plugin to work with natty so i'll be here on and off | 00:11 |
| hakimsheriff | I'll be in and out too | 00:13 |
| dscassel | zeroedout: Cool. I've been talking to the Free Geek Toronto guys about their space being a hub for Ubuntu activities there. :) | 00:13 |
| kavurt | I'm Klich Koken, from Halifax, NS. I'm long time linux user, but i use ubuntu since hardy. | 00:13 |
| zeroedout | dscassel: sweet! Currently we do something called Open Help Night (formerly Windowless Wednesdays), ever wednesday where people come in with Ubuntu issues and techs from the community come to help fix/install ubuntu. | 00:14 |
| zeroedout | I haven't had a chance to chat up the FG toronto guys much, but I hear they're doing well | 00:15 |
| dscassel | Good to see new (to me, anyway) people out. :D | 00:15 |
| dscassel | Okay, so ... Events! | 00:17 |
| zeroedout | glad to be here :) | 00:17 |
| dscassel | Vancouver is having its Natty release release party on Friday. | 00:18 |
| dscassel | http://www.meetup.com/ubuntuvancouver/events/17545545/ | 00:18 |
| dscassel | (You need to sign up for meetup.com and join the ubuntuvancouver event to see it. I hope it's nothing naughty. | 00:18 |
| dscassel | This Sunday is the first Car-Free Sunday in Waterloo. | 00:19 |
| dscassel | There was some talk about us setting up a booth or something, but I have a feeling it's not going to happen this month | 00:20 |
| dscassel | (I haven't done any prep for it at lease) | 00:20 |
| dscassel | least) | 00:20 |
| dscassel | But there'll be more in July and August. | 00:20 |
| dscassel | Aside: zeroedout, have you been out to any of the Ubuntu Vancouver events? | 00:21 |
| zeroedout | I've been to a couple, trying to make it for this one | 00:22 |
| dscassel | Cool. | 00:22 |
| dscassel | I've heard good things, but I don't know too much about what actually goes on out there. | 00:22 |
| dscassel | Anyway, the ubuntu Global Jam date has been set. It's Sept. 2-4. | 00:23 |
| dscassel | We'll be doing one in Kitchener, as usual. | 00:23 |
| zeroedout | the last one I went to was just people getting together and chatting about ubuntu and general geekery. Had some issues with the last event... but this isn't the time or place :) | 00:23 |
| dscassel | And I'll be trying to get the Free Geek Toronto guys to do one there. | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicFab, re: yocto-reader isn't that an MS error? Perhaps that would explain the problem ;) | 00:23 |
| dscassel | But it would be cool if we could get more of them across the country. | 00:23 |
| dscassel | zeroedout: Okay :) | 00:24 |
| dscassel | On jams, one thing we've been talking about here in KW is that the Global Jam happens awfully late in the cycle. | 00:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicFab, my bad, clearly says "Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu)" at the bottom. | 00:26 |
| dscassel | We were thinking about maybe doing an earlier Jam, where we can get people contributing earlier in the cycle. | 00:26 |
| sipherdee | Hi everyone! My name is Eric Beaurivage and I'm from Montreal, QC. My plan is to get more involved into Ubuntu with Ubuntu-QC and... I am a bit late to introduce myself for this meeting. <g> | 00:27 |
| dscassel | Welcome, sipherdee :) | 00:27 |
| sipherdee | Greetings! | 00:27 |
| dscassel | You should talk to MagicFab re: ubuntu-qc if you haven't already. | 00:27 |
| MagicFab | hakimsheriff, me wants stickerz :) Coming to next Ubuntu Hour ? dscassel don't worry I 've taken care of sipherdee's *free* time already | 00:28 |
| dscassel | Awesome. :D | 00:28 |
| sipherdee | Yes dscassel, we know each other and he already is a great help to get me started. | 00:28 |
| hakimsheriff | MagicFab, Maybe, if i manage to convince my dad, | 00:29 |
| dscassel | MagicFab: I'm planning on being in Montreal the last week in August. I'm hoping I can get out to the Outremont ubuntu Hour. | 00:30 |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel: Car free Sunday here in Vancouver as well, I believe. | 00:30 |
| dscassel | KombuchaKip: cool. It seems like a good opportunity to get out and interact with "normal" people. :) | 00:30 |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel: Yes, we'll have Ubuntu Vancouver out and about. | 00:31 |
| MagicFab | dscassel, ring me whenever in town, I'll gladly match my schedule to yours | 00:31 |
| dscassel | That's cool. | 00:31 |
| dscassel | MagicFab: Great. Will do. | 00:31 |
| dscassel | Anyway, last thing on the agenda: | 00:33 |
| dscassel | There are a bunch of sessions coming up in the #ubuntu-classroom IRC channel. | 00:34 |
| dscassel | If you get an app called Lernid (there's a PPA out there if you want to google for it), the experience is a bit more streamlined and you get slides. | 00:34 |
| dscassel | Anyway, the first week of sessions is ubuntu developer week, July 11-15 | 00:35 |
| dscassel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek | 00:35 |
| dscassel | It's for people looking to get into developing on ubuntu, or developing Ubuntu itself. | 00:36 |
| dscassel | If you think you can run a session, I'd encourage you to go to the wiki page. | 00:38 |
| dscassel | The second one is Ubuntu Community Week, July 18-22. | 00:38 |
| dscassel | That's organized by Ubuntu Vancouver's own Randall Ross. | 00:38 |
| dscassel | And it'll be about getting more involved in the community, building community, helping users, etc. | 00:38 |
| dscassel | The sort of stuff we're talking about here... | 00:39 |
| sipherdee | I can't run a session yet but I will be online to contribute to the talks from July 12th. | 00:40 |
| dscassel | sipherdee: That helps. There'll be a -chat channel where you can help answer questions. | 00:41 |
| dscassel | Jono has a blog post about the various weeks and things coming up this cycle: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/06/01/six-months-of-rocking-ubuntu-events/ | 00:42 |
| dscassel | And that's all I got. | 00:43 |
| dscassel | questions? | 00:43 |
| sipherdee | I got enough informations with the links you posted. Thanks for the meeting! | 00:45 |
| dscassel | Awesome. | 00:45 |
| dscassel | I'll be around for a while if anybody has anything. | 00:46 |
| dscassel | Thanks for coming out. :) | 00:46 |
| dscassel | And think about running an Ubuntu event in your town! Ubuntu Hours are easy, and anyone can do them. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 00:47 |
| zeroedout | lol, this was pretty interesting actually. hope to be around for more (or at least idle) | 00:47 |
| hakimsheriff | Meeting over? | 00:49 |
| dscassel | Ugh, unity crash. :( | 00:49 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel, Meeting over? | 00:49 |
| dscassel | Yup, unless you have any questions or anything. :) | 00:50 |
| dscassel | ugh, it looks like the logger stopped logging this morning sometime. | 00:52 |
| dscassel | If anybody has the meeting in the log or buffer, could you email it to dscassel@gmail.com? | 00:53 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel, why dont you try to copy and paste what happened | 00:56 |
| hakimsheriff | better than nothing ;) | 00:57 |
| dscassel | Because unity crashed and I lost my buffer. :( | 01:00 |
| dscassel | (not running in screen at the moment. :( ) | 01:00 |
| hakimsheriff | should i copy and paste it for you? | 01:02 |
| hakimsheriff | and send it to you by e-mail? | 01:02 |
| zeroedout | woops, just about to send myself.... | 01:03 |
| hakimsheriff | zeroedout, go ahead and do it | 01:03 |
| zeroedout | done | 01:03 |
| dscassel | thanks, guys. :) | 01:05 |
| youcanlinux | Hi from the Falls | 01:07 |
| dscassel | Hi, youcanlinux :) | 01:07 |
| dscassel | Niagara, I assume. | 01:07 |
| youcanlinux | I try to keep up with the mailing list... Have today off from work, and my wife took our son for a drive. I just started using latest Ubuntu and I like it a lot. | 01:08 |
| dscassel | Nice. :) | 01:08 |
| youcanlinux | Yes, Niagara, dcassel. Greetings. | 01:08 |
| youcanlinux | I haven't seen a lot of Linux community activity down here... Maybe that will change... | 01:09 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux: There's NPLUG, but I think that's mostly St Catherine's. | 01:10 |
| youcanlinux | I'd be fine with that even... I work there | 01:10 |
| dscassel | https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=115990519465&v=wall | 01:10 |
| youcanlinux | txwikinger, what does the tx mean ? | 01:10 |
| dscassel | Texas. :) | 01:11 |
| dscassel | (I'm guessing he's afk at the moment... | 01:11 |
| youcanlinux | oh, maybe he'll be back soon. I'm familiar with that part of the woods. | 01:11 |
| youcanlinux | i was just shopping computer parts in St. Kitts today, found a neat little store. Need to set up a better computer for my mother-in-law. | 01:12 |
| dscassel | He's a good guy. He's here in Kitchener-Waterloo now. :) | 01:12 |
| youcanlinux | Anyway, I'm dealing with a cooling issue on my testing system... I switched out a fan and it seems I didn't put enough goop on the CPU. | 01:13 |
| youcanlinux | Kitchener-Waterloo, I got to take the family over for Oktoberfest :-) | 01:13 |
| dscassel | Definitely. :) | 01:13 |
| dscassel | Or our Ubuntu release parties. :D | 01:14 |
| youcanlinux | And lots of Linux stuff going on over there, I think. I gotta take my son to one of the parties, he's 5. | 01:14 |
| dscassel | He'll appreciate our cake, i'm sure. :) | 01:14 |
| youcanlinux | I am hoping to put up more info on my blog about the latest Ubuntu, but I am really wanting to see more club acitiviies. I | 01:16 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux: What's your blog? | 01:20 |
| youcanlinux | http://youcanlinux.wordpress.com/ | 01:21 |
| youcanlinux | I've got a domain name, but I'm wanting to transfer registrar, probably to wordpress... still under consideration. | 01:22 |
| youcanlinux | I'm interested in advocacy and helping beginners | 01:22 |
| youcanlinux | also education | 01:23 |
| youcanlinux | community education and stuff | 01:23 |
| dscassel | cool. :) | 01:24 |
| dscassel | Well, if you want to start building community in Niagara, you can start by organizing something like an ubuntu hour... http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 01:24 |
| youcanlinux | Thanks, I'll look into that. | 01:25 |
| dscassel | If you do decide to do something, keep us updated. :) | 01:25 |
| dscassel | (you can add events here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | 01:26 |
| youcanlinux | Will do. I have lots of questions about that, I'll save it for either the list or private email. | 01:27 |
| dscassel | Sure. :) | 01:27 |
| youcanlinux | I don't mean to hog the meeting, but is anyone else going to comment/ask questions ? | 01:28 |
| dscassel | Oh, the meeting's over. :) | 01:29 |
| youcanlinux | Doh! | 01:30 |
| dscassel | It's 7-8 (ish). | 01:30 |
| dscassel | I'll have logs up in a minute. | 01:30 |
| youcanlinux | Um, well, er. hehe | 01:30 |
| youcanlinux | At least I made it to the channel. | 01:31 |
| dscassel | Yup. :) | 01:31 |
| dscassel | But really, I tend to idle in the channel all the time. So do other community folks. | 01:32 |
| dscassel | I may not be able to get back to you right away, but if you have questions, just ask away and I'll get back to you. | 01:32 |
| youcanlinux | Thanks, I appreciate that. | 01:32 |
| dscassel | You can also join #ubuntu-locoteams to ask questions to the LoCo council. They can help with stuff not particular to the Canada LoCo (ie, us) | 01:34 |
| youcanlinux | Thank you for that LoCo info. Does Raymond make it to these meetings /channel sometimes ? | 01:34 |
| dscassel | What's his nick? | 01:36 |
| dscassel | Raymond House, you mean? | 01:36 |
| dscassel | I don't think so... | 01:36 |
| youcanlinux | Yeah, he's the one. I'd like to think that the list really helps him out a lot. | 01:37 |
| youcanlinux | We all have to start somewhere. | 01:38 |
| hakimsheriff | Anyone know what happened to Corey Burger? | 01:38 |
| youcanlinux__ | Sorry, went to the other console. Oops. | 01:40 |
| youcanlinux__ | I know there used to be a way to set up a system to be able to do X-Windows sessions and switch between consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F?, hmm | 01:42 |
| youcanlinux__ | So do any of the LoCo's get CD's from Ubuntu to give out at meetings / | 01:43 |
| youcanlinux__ | ? | 01:43 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux__: Yeah, I've got a whole pile CDs in the trunk of my car. | 01:44 |
| dscassel | I'm trying to figure out how to get them out to people without costing me a fortune in postage. | 01:45 |
| youcanlinux__ | I think people who are interested should be happy to attend a meeting or something... If only people would have events... | 01:46 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: He said he'd moved on to other things. He's still around occasionally, but not in any official capacity. | 01:46 |
| dscassel | I have events! My Ubuntu Hour is tomorrow. | 01:46 |
| youcanlinux__ | Cool. | 01:47 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel, any given out in montreal? | 01:47 |
| youcanlinux__ | Kitchener, I've heard about the place... never been. You don't speak German by any chance ? | 01:48 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: MagicFab should have a bunch. | 01:48 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel, only prob is i can never go to the ubuntu hours here | 01:48 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux__: Not for about 8 generations, no. | 01:48 |
| youcanlinux__ | I'm into cultures and languages. | 01:49 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: there's other ways to get ahold of him, I'm sure. :) | 01:49 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux__: Cool. There isn't a whole lot of German stuff in town. Much more in the Mennonite communities nearby. | 01:50 |
| youcanlinux__ | hakimsherif: I hear you. spare time is scarce for many of us. | 01:50 |
| dscassel | KW has changed a lot even in hte 15 years I've lived here. | 01:50 |
| youcanlinux__ | dcassel: I'm familiar with Mennonites. Thanks. | 01:51 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: You can trade him for stickers. :) | 01:51 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel, i was just thinking about that | 01:51 |
| hakimsheriff | youcanlinux__, its not just time, im too young | 01:52 |
| hakimsheriff | youcanlinux__, parents wont let me | 01:52 |
| youcanlinux__ | Is there such a thing as too young for linux ? | 01:52 |
| youcanlinux__ | Ohh... bummer. | 01:52 |
| hakimsheriff | youcanlinux__, too young to go to go to ubuntu hours | 01:52 |
| hakimsheriff | but im not like those other kids, im reponsible and i have my priorities | 01:52 |
| dscassel | txwikinger had a plan to get us a table at the local multicultural festival. Not sure the status of that one. | 01:52 |
| youcanlinux__ | I could pitch it to them for you. I can give them reasons to let you associate with a LInux club... career development. I've worked in the industry, I should be a poster boy for Linux. | 01:52 |
| youcanlinux__ | i'd be very interested to chat with txwikinger... about language, culture of Germans, etc. | 01:53 |
| youcanlinux__ | I keep in touch with the family in Mexico. | 01:54 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux__: Sure. He's usually online during the day... | 01:56 |
| hakimsheriff | Im guessing everyone who is here and watches hockey is for the canucks? | 01:56 |
| MagicFab | hakimsheriff, UbuntuHour is at noon in a restaurant - what is your concern (or parent's) ? | 01:56 |
| hakimsheriff | MagicFab, I dont know | 01:56 |
| hakimsheriff | Its true, i dont know,lol | 01:56 |
| youcanlinux__ | I have no concerns, if the people organizing the Linux event are serious, and I tend to think that they would be... | 01:56 |
| youcanlinux__ | I'm in the market for another video card... I tend to favor nVidia, any other brands people like for use in Linux ? | 01:57 |
| dscassel | youcanlinux__: I've been using nVidia cards for a while, but I decided to get an ATI card this update. | 01:58 |
| dscassel | I'm having no end of problems getting it to work properly, tho. | 01:58 |
| youcanlinux__ | did you buy one post-AMD acquisition ? | 01:58 |
| youcanlinux__ | I don't see any reason for a Linux user or any non-Microsoft user to buy an ATI video card. | 01:59 |
| dscassel | Yeah. | 02:00 |
| youcanlinux__ | But I'd like to see AMD shake things up in the video chip market... I would hope that Intel would put out video chips that are as excellent as their procs, hmm. | 02:00 |
| dscassel | Their open source drivers are apparently getting a lot better, since they're co-operating more with developers. | 02:00 |
| youcanlinux__ | As well they should. Maybe I need to give AMD procs another chance... | 02:00 |
| dscassel | I can let you know if I have any better luck with it. But at this point, i'm thinking I'll probably send it back. :/ | 02:02 |
| hakimsheriff | k guys i gotta go | 02:03 |
| hakimsheriff | Bye | 02:03 |
| dscassel | Later, hakimsheriff | 02:03 |
| youcanlinux__ | bye | 02:03 |
| youcanlinux__ | Here's a question, I've got a really ancient ATI video card, ATI RagePro, I wonder if I should slap that in this old computer and give it a try.... I've got one of these in my crusty old laptop and it seems to do okay. | 02:04 |
| dscassel | I don't know what the state is of the open source driver for the older Rage cards, but it's worth a shot, I guess. | 02:06 |
| youcanlinux__ | I figure it's worth a try. I was at Futureshop today and I was checking out the Intel solid-state drives... I'm really curious about that. | 02:06 |
| youcanlinux__ | The wife would probably not like it if I just bought oen of those... hey I can buy one for her Mom! that's the ticket ;-)))) | 02:07 |
| dscassel | I've got an SSD in the laptop. It's fantastic. | 02:10 |
| dscassel | I'm thinking of replacing the boot drive in the desktop with one. | 02:11 |
| youcanlinux__ | I'm doing fine with my old discs... I'll keep an eye on the price though. | 02:12 |
| youcanlinux__ | Well, I need to switch out video cards... Hope to return soon. | 02:16 |
| BobJonkman | Ermmm... Sorry I missed the chat. Was out for dinner with friends, no WiFi in the restaurant. | 04:57 |
| SIR_Taco | BobJonkman: I missed it too.. but I always miss it :) | 05:03 |
| dscassel_ | BobJonkman: You coming to the Ubuntu Hour tomorrow? | 06:04 |
