| hakimsheriff | Helloe everybody | 22:35 |
| BobJonkman | O Hai, dscassel | 22:42 |

| hakimsheriff | Have a meeting in 15 minutes, right? | 22:43 |
| BobJonkman | By ourselves, if necessary | 22:44 |
| fhassouneh | hello everyone | 22:49 |
| BobJonkman | Hi there, fhassouneh | 22:49 |
| fhassouneh | Hi BobJonkman | 22:49 |
| BobJonkman | I'm thinking dscassel is in transit to #kwartzlab, so he may not yet be at a terminal (that's his irssi presence in the channel) | 22:50 |
| dscassel | Back! | 22:51 |
| dscassel | Meeting in 10 | 22:51 |
| BobJonkman | Yay! | 22:51 |

| dscassel | Thanks, BobJonkman :) | 22:53 |
| dscassel | Like I said, not a lot on the agenda. Anybody want to add anything? | 22:54 |
| BobJonkman | How about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek | 22:54 |
| dscassel | Oh yeah! | 22:54 |
| dscassel | Mentioned it last time, but it bears repeating. | 22:54 |
| BobJonkman | Should be on now... | 22:54 |
| BobJonkman | Ah, I guess the last session today ended at 5:00pm EDT | 22:57 |
| dscassel | Runs all week! | 22:58 |
| * BobJonkman grabs a last-minute beverage, and prepares to compute outside on the back deck | 22:58 | |
| dscassel | Hold on, denting the meeting. | 22:58 |
| dscassel | (People should follow @UbuntuWaterloo on twitter/identica, btw. That's me). | 23:01 |

| dscassel | Hi, hakimsheriff :) | 23:05 |
| hakimsheriff | Hi Fouad! | 23:05 |

| KombuchaKip | Hey folks. My name's Kip. I'm the principle developer behind the Avaneya project, a cerebral science fiction game for Ubuntu (www.avaneya.com). | 23:08 |
| KombuchaKip | I'm from White Rock, British Columbia, and sometimes Vancouver. | 23:09 |

| BobJonkman | /.../ KombuchaKip: I get "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. " | 23:14 |
| hakimsheriff | BobJonkman: You need to login to the Forums | 23:14 |
| hakimsheriff | to be able to see it | 23:14 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman: Ubuntu forum I think you have to sign in to see message attachments. | 23:15 |
| dscassel | KombuchaKip: Huh. Is that all rendered, or just the lander superimposed on Mars photos? | 23:15 |
| * BobJonkman grumbles about yet more logging inning | 23:15 | |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel / BobJonkman: It's real. Very exciting. Details on how we got it out here: https://www.avaneya.com/temp/Avaneya%20Crew%20Handbook.pdf | 23:15 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman: That you certainly don't need to login for. | 23:16 |
| * txwikinger is on his way | 23:17 | |
| dscassel | KombuchaKip: That's cool. I was assuming Avaneya was just the game. | 23:18 |
| dscassel | See you soon, txwikinger :) | 23:19 |
| dscassel | Okay, we don't have much of an agenda today, but we should get started... | 23:19 |
| KombuchaKip | dscassel: It is, but we needed the Viking Lander images to make the material shaders realistic. | 23:19 |
| dscassel | Events! | 23:19 |
| * BobJonkman grumbles that he has to log into http://ubuntuforums.org and not https://ubuntuforums.org | 23:20 | |
| BobJonkman | Sorry. | 23:20 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Global Jam is coming up September 2-4. | 23:20 |
| dscassel | We're going to host a jam here at Kwartzlab (the hackerspace in KW) | 23:20 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman: Don't worry. Soon we'll have them all in PNG for you to download. | 23:21 |
| dscassel | There seemed to be interest in hosting one in Toronto at Free Geek, but I haven't heard what's going on with that. | 23:21 |
| dscassel | I need to hunt down a point contact person there. | 23:21 |
| dscassel | If people want to run one, it's pretty fun. | 23:22 |
| dscassel | Not as easy as an Ubuntu Hour, but a great way to get people contributing to the project. | 23:22 |
| dscassel | Anybody running (heard about) other Jams? | 23:22 |
| dscassel | I'm assuming that's a no. | 23:24 |
| zeroedout | nope :) | 23:24 |
| hakimsheriff | nope | 23:24 |
| fhassouneh | nope | 23:24 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: Nothing in Montreal? | 23:24 |
| hakimsheriff | dscassel: not sure | 23:25 |
| dscassel | (Quebec has its own loco, but I like to know these things so I can tell people about them if they ask. :) | 23:25 |
| hakimsheriff | Im not very involved with Ubuntu Quebec | 23:25 |
| dscassel | hakimsheriff: Still haven't made it out to an Ubuntu hour, eh? | 23:26 |
| hakimsheriff | not really, | 23:26 |
| hakimsheriff | im currently VERY busy | 23:26 |
| dscassel | MagicFab's a good guy. I'm looking forward to meeting him next month. :) | 23:26 |
| BobJonkman | Are you going to MagicFab, or is MagicFab coming to KW? | 23:27 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: I'm going to Montreal. :) | 23:27 |
| dscassel | Anyway, Ubuntu Developer Week is on this week in #ubuntu-classroom. | 23:27 |
| dscassel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek | 23:28 |
| dscassel | If you're interested in programming for or on Ubutu, it's a great place to learn about different technologies and techniques. | 23:28 |
| fhassouneh | Thanks a lot dscassel | 23:29 |
| dscassel | no problem, fhassouneh :) | 23:29 |
| dscassel | Hope it's helpful. | 23:29 |
| dscassel | I've attended in the past. | 23:29 |
| dscassel | I kinda forgot about it this week (doesn't help I'm at work when it's going). | 23:29 |
| fhassouneh | oh ok, it should be interesting | 23:30 |
| dscassel | I'll probably fire up Lernid and have it running in the backround at work. | 23:30 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Vancouver's Randall Ross is running a similar event: Ubuntu Community Week. | 23:31 |
| dscassel | Similar, but about building the community. | 23:31 |
| sipherdee | dscassel: thanks for mentionning it again, i am back from vacation so i will check #ubuntu-classroom. | 23:32 |
| dscassel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCommunityWeek | 23:32 |
| dscassel | No problem, sipherdee :) | 23:32 |
| dscassel | It's July 18-22 in #ubuntu-classroom. | 23:32 |
| dscassel | (Although I think they're pushing Lernid, because you get slides and it's easier for non-technical people). | 23:33 |
| cgroza | Too late for the meeting? | 23:33 |
| dscassel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid | 23:34 |
| dscassel | cgroza: Nope! We're still going. | 23:34 |
| dscassel | Although we're coming to the end of the posted agenda. | 23:34 |
| dscassel | Anybody else running, know of events they'd like to talk about? | 23:35 |
| BobJonkman | Is the Ubuntu CD Bribery Program still on? | 23:35 |
| dscassel | Assuming the answer is no, anything I can do to convince you it's a good idea? | 23:35 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Yeah, but no bites. | 23:35 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu CD Bribery Program is I will send you a package of 10 CDs if you run an Ubuntu Hour in your town, and post pictures/blog about it. | 23:36 |
| dscassel | A bargain! | 23:36 |
| dscassel | I'll probably throw in stickers and buttons too. :D | 23:36 |
| BobJonkman | Maybe I can distribute some CDs at events like the Guelph Web Makers Meetup and the KW Design/Developers Meetup | 23:37 |
| hakimsheriff | Be Right Back, | 23:37 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Hours are fun and easy! You just find a nice cafe somewhere, advertise when you're going to be there (twitter/identica/forums/the mailing list/loco.ubuntu.com) | 23:38 |
| dscassel | And people show up! You meet other cool Ubuntu people! And you can make nefarious plans for release parties and whatnot. :D | 23:38 |
| dscassel | Or you dont' have to talk about ubuntu at all, if other things come up. | 23:39 |
| dscassel | Totally informal. | 23:39 |
| dscassel | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour/ | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman | And we have one in KW next Wednesday | 23:39 |
| dscassel | Yup! | 23:39 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: I brought CDs for you to KWLUG, but you weren't there. :( | 23:39 |
| dscassel | I'll have some to give you next week. | 23:40 |
| * hakimsheriff is back! | 23:40 | |
| dscassel | yay! | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman | *grins* because #gwmm is tomorrow... | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman | But #kwdm is the week after Ubuntu Hour | 23:40 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: You should be here! I've got them in my car. :) | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman | That'll teach me... | 23:42 |
| dscassel | fhassouneh: You should totally run an Ubuntu Hour in St John's. | 23:42 |
| dscassel | Anything else anyone wants to talk about? | 23:43 |
| fhassouneh | dscassel: I think its a great idea, i think i'll run one soon, i just need some information and ill definitely find some ppl to help me here | 23:43 |
| dscassel | fhassouneh: Great! | 23:43 |
| dscassel | Yeah, see if you can get in touch with rgreening. :D | 23:44 |
| dscassel | And let me know if you have any questions about it. There's really nothing to it. | 23:44 |
| fhassouneh | ok i think it will be a fun experience | 23:44 |
| dscassel | We gotta get one going regularly in Linuxcaffe in Toronto. I should poke the Free Geek guys. | 23:45 |
| fhassouneh | by the way all the computers at memorial univerity have ubuntu 8.04 installed on them | 23:45 |
| dscassel | fhassouneh: Yeah, that's where U Waterloo is too. | 23:45 |
| fhassouneh | dscassel: yeah thats awesome | 23:45 |
| dscassel | I'm just happy I'm able to run Ubuntu at work now. No more Windows! :D | 23:46 |
| BobJonkman | I've been running rogue Ubuntu at work for about 6 months. | 23:47 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: I'm making it possible for other developers to run Ubuntu at work too. :D | 23:47 |
| BobJonkman | Need Virtual Box to run WinXP for MS-only apps like OneNote and Exchange (because the Exchange server is too damaged to properly deal with UTF-8 in SMTP) | 23:48 |
| dscassel | Our old IDE is Windows-only. I'm making a new cross-platform one based on Eclipse. :D | 23:48 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Yeah. I need IE for a few things still. | 23:49 |
| dscassel | I installed Crossover Pro trial to get Office running because I need to mark up Word docs sometimes. | 23:49 |
| dscassel | (I'm thinking the meeting is pretty much over, btw. But I'll be around for a bit if anyone wants to chat) | 23:50 |
| BobJonkman | I'm hoping the money argument will win over management types to adopt Linux - no OS license fees, no server license fees, no application license fees... | 23:50 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: For us, we support Linux for our customers, but developers aren't testing it. | 23:50 |
| BobJonkman | Maybe we should form a special interest group, the Ubuntu Rogues | 23:50 |
| fhassouneh | nice to meet everyone today, sand I'll keep u all updated about the ubuntu hour :) | 23:51 |
| fhassouneh | have to go now | 23:51 |
| dscassel | Getting developers developing on Linux cuts down on embarassing bugs. | 23:51 |
| BobJonkman | Bye fhassouneh! | 23:51 |
| dscassel | See you, fhassouneh. thanks for coming out. :) | 23:51 |
| fhassouneh | dscassel: see you | 23:52 |
| hakimsheriff | fhassouneh: Goodbye! | 23:52 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Ubuntu Rogues. I like that. Infiltrate and assimilate. :D | 23:58 |
