[00:15] <cyberanger> Meeting in 15 minutes

[00:20] <cyberanger> Meeting in 10 minutes
[00:20] <cyberanger> Primary item on our Agenda is Leadership Elections
[00:20] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: useful
[00:20] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: we can refine it .... and we should probably delegate it to a proper bot
[00:21] <cyberanger> proper bot is already in progress
[00:21] <cyberanger> (and your presuming this isn't, could be eggdrop bot doubling as an irc proxy)
[00:23] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i realize ... but we don't want to make a permanent service like that tied to a username
[00:23] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: ping
[00:23] <pace_t_zulu> Unit193: ping
[00:23] <Unit193> pace_t_zulu: Pong
[00:23] <pace_t_zulu> chris4585 cosmicpizza Juzzy orangeninja orias Svpernova09 twayneprice ping
[00:23] <pace_t_zulu> Unit193: metting starting in <10min
[00:24] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: tied to my username yeah, agreed
[00:24] <cyberanger> hence why the main bot is cyberanger-bt
[00:24] <cyberanger> hence why the main bot is cyberanger-bot
[00:24] <orangeninja> pong
[00:24] <orias> rawr
[00:24] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: for development purposes its ok ... but bots on usernames in irc - you know how that goes
[00:25] <cyberanger> Meeting in 5 minutes
[00:25] <cyberanger> Primary item on our Agenda is Leadership Elections
[00:25] <pace_t_zulu> thank you cyberanger ;)
[00:25] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: get's a bit crazy, yep
[00:25]  * Unit193 stands to watch
[00:25]  * cyberanger tells Unit193 to grab a chair & get comfy
[00:25] <pace_t_zulu> Unit193: i hope you feel encouraged to participate
[00:26] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: within his bounds as an ohio resident, yep
[00:26] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: pong
[00:26] <Unit193> cyberanger: It's quite comfy actually (not a desk chair :D )
[00:27] <pace_t_zulu> so we have cyberanger Unit193 orangeninja orias wrst
[00:27] <pace_t_zulu> +myself ... that's 6
[00:27] <pace_t_zulu> not bad for <5min before meeting
[00:27] <cyberanger> Unit193: you are welcome to our meetings, short of any vote that is restricted (for example our regional leadership is voted on solely by the region their in)
[00:27] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: and without an email
[00:27] <pace_t_zulu> Unit193: what part of TN do you live in?
[00:27] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: Unit193 lives in Ohio
[00:27] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i am very keen on http://loco.ubuntu.com
[00:29] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i think that needs to become a priority
[00:29] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: yeah, it seems to be a real nice setup
[00:29] <pace_t_zulu> i'll add that as a last minute agenda item
[00:29] <cyberanger> idk with all the issues ubuntu has to deal with, if anything..oh, you meant our priorities
[00:29] <pace_t_zulu> you guys ready?
[00:29] <cyberanger> I think mailing list is higher
[00:29] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: nearly ready
[00:29] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: i have family in i will be in and out but ready :)

[00:32] <MootBot> New Topic: Utilize http://loco.ubuntu.com more extensively
[00:32] <pace_t_zulu> ok, so i just added this just now
[00:32] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: mind If I start off with something
[00:32] <pace_t_zulu> but i want to draw attention to this ...
[00:33] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: this will be brief, then i'll yield to you
[00:33] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: sorry, meant before the election (already forgot about this item)
[00:33] <pace_t_zulu> [link]http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team
[00:33] <MootBot> LINK received: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team
[00:34] <pace_t_zulu> this should become a base of information
[00:34] <pace_t_zulu> it provides RSS feeds and iCal feeds ... which can be parsed elsewhere
[00:34] <pace_t_zulu> just wanted to draw attention to that ...
[00:35] <pace_t_zulu> any concerns with utilizing http://loco.ubuntu.com more extensively?
[00:36] <pace_t_zulu> if not, i'll yield to cyberanger
[00:36] <cyberanger> one, we must avoid using it so extensively that we forget about tools that are currently more utilized (I've been bad about our mailing list, our best tool)
[00:37] <cyberanger> that is my one concern, I was bad about using one medium (IRC) for information, more often than not
[00:37] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: agreed ... but this relatively new and focused towards the needs of this group - i'm suggesting we embrace it
[00:37] <cyberanger> we might not have much mail on our list, but we have alot of readers on it
[00:38] <cyberanger> I agree, so long as we fix the other places that have taken a blindeye lately
[00:38] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i agree that the mailing list is under-utilized as well
[00:39] <cyberanger> as far as writing, I got enough corrospendence via it, you know about one person for that reason too
[00:39] <pace_t_zulu> [idea] embrace http://loco.ubuntu.com as a new tool for the loco ... while renewing interest in well loved tools like the mailing list
[00:39] <MootBot> IDEA received:  embrace http://loco.ubuntu.com as a new tool for the loco ... while renewing interest in well loved tools like the mailing list
[00:40] <cyberanger> seems anything on the list wasn't staying on the list, rather it went to the sender, something I fixed, one reason it became underutilized I think
[00:41] <cyberanger> anyhow, moving on, if everyone is ok with that
[00:42] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'd like to also point out this http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=kstats/charts&view=referrers
[00:42] <pace_t_zulu> let me screenshot that
[00:43] <pace_t_zulu> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601465 referred 1153 views at http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org
[00:43] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601465 referred 1153 views at http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org
[00:43] <cyberanger> our fourms which is ignored even more than the mailing list, cool
[00:43] <pace_t_zulu> nearest referrer has only 95 views ...
[00:44] <cyberanger> 89 views
[00:44] <cyberanger> I'd exclude the 95 one, cause it's our own site referring itself
[00:44] <pace_t_zulu> so that highlights cyberanger's point that the well loved tools still have power
[00:44] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: yea... the redirect from http://ubuntu-tennessee.org
[00:45] <pace_t_zulu> s/reinforces/highlights/
[00:45] <pace_t_zulu> anyway
[00:45] <cyberanger> and also note, none of that is from me (I have referrer disabled in my browser)
[00:45] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: you had something you wanted to discuss quickly before leadership elections
[00:46] <cyberanger> and others may do that, so even with that being metioned, our tutorials drove the most traffic
[00:46] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: yes, I would
[00:46] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: go ahead
[00:47] <cyberanger> last month I stepped down as trustee, passed the tourch for the remainder of my term (ending today) to pace_t_zulu to manage my time
[00:47] <cyberanger> a little better, try and start a state lug with other members here & elsewhere
[00:48] <cyberanger> and it sounds likely I'll be moving some point in the next month or two
[00:49] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: where might you be moving?
[00:49] <cyberanger> I plan on running for east tn leadership, however knowing that my time in tennessee could be limited, I'd prefer to have somebody else take that position, I'll be on IRC to guide and assist this loco in any way I can
[00:50] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: most likely, alaska, TSA hasn't offically hired me, and I've got positions I've applied for all over, however none were open in TN
[00:50] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i think you should go ahead and run as if you will be staying in-state
[00:50] <cyberanger> closest is Huntsville, but there is a priority they'd like to fill
[00:51] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: seeing as you are thinking of starting a state lug
[00:51] <pace_t_zulu> but its up to you man
[00:51] <cyberanger> while it's not official, rarely does anyone get this far in the process and get turned down
[00:52] <cyberanger> also an offer for a startup isp has come up, but that is 3 months out still
[00:52] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: my point is that your leadership is welcome
[00:52] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: you can pass the torch if/when you leave
[00:53] <cyberanger> anyhow, I can't be a leader once out of state, and wanted to further metion that it will be unlikely for me to carry out a full yearlong term
[00:53] <pace_t_zulu> we should get a show of hands .... we may have lost some
[00:54] <cyberanger> and last month I forgot about an item on the agenda, I want to make a motion for 6 month terms, seems beyond 6 months things stagnate a bit
[00:54] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: good idea, 0/
[00:54] <cyberanger> Juzzy:
[00:54] <cyberanger> orangeninja:
[00:54] <cyberanger> orias:
[00:54] <orangeninja> o/

[00:54] <cyberanger> twayneprice:
[00:54] <pace_t_zulu> we started with cyberanger wrst orangeninja Unit193 and myself
[00:54] <cyberanger> wrst:
[00:55]  * Unit193 
[00:55] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: figured with this bit, might want to try for every tennessean
[00:55] <cyberanger> [topic] shorten leadership terms to 6 months
[00:55] <cyberanger> [TOPIC] shorten leadership terms to 6 months
[00:56] <cyberanger> wrong syntax?
[00:56] <pace_t_zulu> [topic] shorten leadership terms to 6 months
[00:56] <MootBot> New Topic:  shorten leadership terms to 6 months
[00:56] <orias> o/
[00:56] <pace_t_zulu> i am the topic master
[00:56] <cyberanger> oh, chair only function
[00:56] <pace_t_zulu> apparently
[00:56] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: go ahead
[00:56] <cyberanger> idea is for everyone
[00:56] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'm keen on it
[00:57] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: perhaps for regional points of contact?
[00:57] <cyberanger> ideally every leader, re-election
[00:57] <pace_t_zulu> hi orias and orangeninja ... please feel free to voice your thoughts
[00:57] <Svpernova09> o/
[00:57] <orias> sorry, trying to get caught up
[00:58] <cyberanger> as both trustee and a regional leader, I found myself and other leaders got distant, worn out, priorities shifted, so forth
[00:58] <cyberanger> at about that point
[00:58] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: how bout we vote on it next meeting after we sort out elections now
[00:58] <cyberanger> or at the least, too routine to focus
[00:58] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: go one
[00:58] <pace_t_zulu> s/one/on
[00:58] <orias> 6months is a reasonible time frame
[00:58] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: we kinda need it before we vote people for another term, unless we make this election contigent on this item next meeting
[00:59] <cyberanger> since this is defining their term limit
[00:59] <cyberanger> don't you think
[00:59] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger i'm prepared to vote on it now
[00:59] <cyberanger> as am I, anyone opposed to this idea?
[00:59] <cyberanger> if not, lets vote?
[00:59] <pace_t_zulu> orias orangeninja Svpernova09 please feel free to speak your minds before we start the vote
[00:59] <orias> vote on?
[01:00] <pace_t_zulu> let me know if you have nothing to add ... and i'll start
[01:00] <orias> sorry, who are the nominees?
[01:00] <cyberanger> orias: a 6 month term
[01:00] <Svpernova09> SHorter terms are fine, but you may run into an issue of you're having to relect people every 6 months
[01:00] <orias> ah
[01:00] <pace_t_zulu> orias: shortening all terms from 1 year the 6 months
[01:00] <orias> aye
[01:00] <cyberanger> Svpernova09: right now we have leaders disappearing every 6 months or so anyhow
[01:00] <pace_t_zulu> i suppose going at the same frequency as ubuntu releases
[01:00] <Svpernova09> Yeah, very true
[01:01] <pace_t_zulu> which is kinda cool
[01:01] <pace_t_zulu> phase shifted by 2 months
[01:01] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: and that'll help with release parties, seems we peak around releases, august to october we plan, then wait till august
[01:01] <pace_t_zulu> anyway ... i'm prepared to vote if everyone else feels like their voice has been heard
[01:01] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger:  right
[01:02] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: great idea
[01:02]  * wrst catches up
[01:02] <pace_t_zulu> orangeninja: you there?
[01:02] <cyberanger> perhaps a litte exgerrated, but kinda hits the issue I see, 6 months is as active we manage to be
[01:02] <orangeninja> yez
[01:02] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: 6 month terms
[01:02] <orangeninja> yes* een
[01:02] <wrst> yeah makes sense
[01:02] <orangeninja> 6 months
[01:02] <cyberanger> Svpernova09: would you be willing to give it a try, or have a counter-proposal in mind?
[01:03] <Svpernova09> oh, I didn't mean to argue for or against it
[01:03] <Svpernova09> Was just throwing out 2 cents
[01:03] <pace_t_zulu> motion to vote on 6 month leadership terms
[01:03] <cyberanger> Svpernova09: ah, yeah, and it's a good point, right now I see having leaders get stale every 6 months as an issue too
[01:04] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: Svpernova09 it seems to me as if interest peaks around leadership elections perhaps
[01:04] <cyberanger> let's try this, worst case, we vote to return to the current 1 year length if this doesn't work
[01:04] <Svpernova09> certainly
[01:04] <cyberanger> I second the motion pace_t_zulu
[01:04] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: elections & releases
[01:05] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: releases?
[01:05] <cyberanger> ubuntu market's the loco's hard for release parties & such
[01:05] <pace_t_zulu> right
[01:05] <pace_t_zulu> [vote] 6 month term for all leadership positions
[01:05] <MootBot> Please vote on:  6 month term for all leadership positions.

[01:08] <cyberanger> he's stepped in my shoes quickly, been doing a great job with it & middle tennessee too (as he's currently our middle tn leader too)

[01:15] <pace_t_zulu> btw, thanks guys for the votes ;)
[01:15] <cyberanger> West TN
[01:15] <cyberanger> sounds like a good order, we'll follow the sun
[01:15] <pace_t_zulu> ok, everyone say what region you are in
[01:15] <pace_t_zulu> Middle TN
[01:15] <wrst> middle
[01:15]  * cyberanger is currently east tn
[01:15] <orangeninja> middle'
[01:15] <Svpernova09> West
[01:15] <pace_t_zulu> yeah middle o/
[01:16] <pace_t_zulu> wow its been a while since middle has outnumbered west for an election
[01:16] <pace_t_zulu> any region for that matter
[01:16] <pace_t_zulu> well so middle can vote
[01:17] <pace_t_zulu> do we want to agree to all vote for all regions?
[01:17] <pace_t_zulu> orias: what part of TN are you in?
[01:17] <orias> west
[01:18] <pace_t_zulu> so we have 1 east ... 3 middle ... 2 west
[01:18] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: it'd be a break from precedence, however if it's agreed by everyone here, east has only three members, one is our prior leader too
[01:18] <cyberanger> west has jfenn2199, who's been absent awhile
[01:18] <cyberanger> linuxman410 in the east, who is around every now and then
[01:19] <cyberanger> we kinda need more members in west and east, and afaik, east doesn't have any more to call from
[01:19] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: yes, and he's absent now ... so he can't accept an nomination ... unless someone can point to a place in the logs where he said he would accept it by proxy
[01:20] <cyberanger> jfenn2199 & linuxman410 hadn't notified me of that, jfenn2199 was one of the people who needed the meeting time pushed back
[01:20] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: if nominated for east tn would you accept?
[01:21] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: east tn can't run unless all regions are allowed to vote on an east tn leader
[01:21] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09 orias are either of you willing/able to be west tn point of contact for 6 months?
[01:21] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: um, come back to me on that, cover middle & west first, give me a chance to think
[01:22] <Svpernova09> I would be very reluctant to be a PoC due to my heavy involvement in other projects.
[01:22] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09 orias ^ ... till february
[01:22] <orias> Uh same
[01:22] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: understood
[01:22] <pace_t_zulu> orias: understood
[01:22] <orias> what's involved?
[01:23] <Svpernova09> orias and I are actually heavily involved/invested in the local hackerspace
[01:23] <pace_t_zulu> point of contact for that region
[01:23] <cyberanger> interface with the local hackerspace, lug
[01:23] <pace_t_zulu> #MidsouthMakers ?
[01:23] <Svpernova09> Yah
[01:23] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: i don't see why that doesn't make you more qualified for the part
[01:24] <cyberanger> plus I'm sorta an unoffical liasion for the lugs
[01:24] <orias> so how about the group being the point of contact?
[01:24] <cyberanger> maybe host a release party or a meeting every so often
[01:24] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09 orias it would have to be one of you two
[01:24] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09 orias ... you could host a release party at your hackerspace
[01:25] <cyberanger> better to have somebody aware of limits, than nobody at all
[01:25] <orias> how often?
[01:25] <pace_t_zulu> ^ that would be massive for our loco
[01:25] <cyberanger> release parties are 6 months apart
[01:25] <orias> We have a strong *nix presence
[01:25] <pace_t_zulu> release party is every 6 months
[01:25] <Svpernova09> orias: what do you think about us doing it between the 2 of us?
[01:25] <orias> I'd be comfortable with that
[01:25] <cyberanger> we aim for monthly meetings too, but baby steps
[01:25] <orias> we meet as a hackerspace every week,
[01:26] <cyberanger> netritious & jfenn2199 tried that, worked for a long while
[01:26] <Svpernova09> orias and I see each other every week at least once. And we talk pretty much everyday
[01:26] <cyberanger> longer than your terms
[01:26] <Svpernova09> So....
[01:26] <pace_t_zulu> and a release party is simply a party ... with ubuntu's latest release as an excuse to party
[01:26] <orias> heh
[01:26] <Svpernova09> If we'd work together as a PoC... I think we'd do fine.
[01:26]  * orias will print the shotglasses
[01:26] <orias> thats cool with me
[01:26] <cyberanger> one could turn it into an installfest, but yeah, it's a party at the least
[01:26] <Svpernova09> I can even set up communications via @midsouthmakers.org email for us
[01:26] <Svpernova09> our local LUG tried an installfest recently, not sure what the turnout was
[01:27]  * wrst thinks west tn is in good hands
[01:27] <pace_t_zulu> wouldn't be the first time we've had two PoCs in west tn ... no reason why we can't now
[01:27] <wrst> agreed pace_t_zulu
[01:27] <cyberanger> I nominate orias & Svpernova09 as a duo to run west tn
[01:27] <orias> golum has seemed to stall
[01:27] <pace_t_zulu> i second that nomination
[01:27] <pace_t_zulu> orias Svpernova09 do y'all accept the nomination?
[01:27] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: it worked for over 6 months, this time 6 is the max per term, love the idea
[01:27] <orias> aye
[01:27] <Svpernova09> Sure
[01:27] <pace_t_zulu> motion to vote
[01:28] <pace_t_zulu> on west tn
[01:28] <cyberanger> I deny that motion
[01:28] <pace_t_zulu> oh
[01:28] <pace_t_zulu> ok
[01:28] <cyberanger> until we vote on all members or each region
[01:28] <cyberanger> due to a numbers issue for west & east tn
[01:28] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: ¿por que?
[01:28] <pace_t_zulu> i think i missed an accent or two there
[01:29]  * wrst is just ready to +1 something!
[01:29] <cyberanger> we can't have the two being nominated vote themselves in, same for me in east tn (if I accept that nomination)
[01:29] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: it doesn't get done otherwise
[01:29] <cyberanger> so we need to vote an exception to the normal rule, that all present can vote for all regions
[01:29] <wrst> cyberanger: you need that as a motion for all members to vote on all regions?
[01:29] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: in light of the shorter terms ... i don't see a problem
[01:30] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: +1
[01:30] <wrst> ok I make a motion we allow all members to vote in all regions
[01:30] <cyberanger> yes, I made that motion too, but I didn't hear a second, and then west tn came up
[01:30] <cyberanger> I second
[01:30] <pace_t_zulu> motion to vote on allowing all members present at meeting to vote for all regions in tennessee
[01:30] <wrst> second
[01:30] <wrst> oh yeah :)
[01:30] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: for this meeting
[01:30] <pace_t_zulu> do we need to vote or we're good
[01:30] <cyberanger> as an exeption on the rule
[01:30] <cyberanger> we need to hear all are acceptable, at the least
[01:30] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: you were the one who previously denied the motion
[01:31] <cyberanger> no objections
[01:31] <pace_t_zulu> so i then retable my motion to vote on west tn point of contact
[01:31] <cyberanger> I denied the motion to vote orias & Svpernova09 since they'd be the only ones eligable to vote
[01:31] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i see
[01:31] <cyberanger> not the motion to extend who can vote
[01:31] <pace_t_zulu> lets go
[01:32] <cyberanger> ok, so no objections, everyone can vote on leadership, for this meeting

[01:37] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: wish i didn't type it in the first place
[01:37] <cyberanger> I draft...err nominate wrst as middle tn poc
[01:37] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: do you have interest in thise position,
[01:37] <pace_t_zulu> ?
[01:37] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: interest yes, time probably not so much
[01:38]  * cyberanger had been teasing him about it
[01:38] <wrst> wish i could but kid, moving, job etc etc i don't think i would do it justice
[01:38] <cyberanger> wrst: could you give it a try, perhaps split with pace_t_zulu ?
[01:38] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: where are you moving?
[01:38] <wrst> just across town
[01:38] <pace_t_zulu> different address, same town?
[01:38] <pace_t_zulu> cool
[01:38] <cyberanger> I do serously think you'd be good, one in cookeville with an active lug, one in nashville with an equally active lug
[01:38] <cyberanger> wrst: ^
[01:38] <wrst> cyberanger: would I be pace_t_zulu's humble servant yes sir
[01:39] <pace_t_zulu> haha
[01:39] <cyberanger> wrst: co-poc?
[01:39] <pace_t_zulu> no servants round here
[01:39] <cyberanger> or just servant?
[01:39] <wrst> however if pace_t_zulu would like the title and i would assist anyway possible
[01:39] <pace_t_zulu> i'd gladly yield the title to you wrst ...
[01:40] <cyberanger> serously, at the least wrst I do think if you & pace_t_zulu split like west did this past year, and is doing so again
[01:40] <cyberanger> it'd help a huge bit in your region
[01:40] <wrst> i don't care to try that just me making many "live" appearances probably isn't going to be real likely right now for me
[01:40] <cyberanger> I tried that (unoffically) in east tn & it did work, for a time
[01:40] <cyberanger> wrst: live in nashville, cookeville, or at all
[01:41] <pace_t_zulu> orangeninja: do you have anything you'd like to say about this?
[01:41] <wrst> be back in 5
[01:41] <orangeninja> No I would be willing to help any way I could.
[01:41] <pace_t_zulu> well you do have general availablility wrst ... not live - no ... but you are on top of things
[01:42] <wrst> yes and that should continue pace_t_zulu
[01:42] <cyberanger> and we've had alot of live appearances go less than expected, at this point my concern is merely online and local, to the best of eveyone's ability (I could barely get outside my own town for a year)
[01:42] <orangeninja> il help wrst and pace_t_zulu any way i can
[01:42] <wrst> just as long as everyone knows my limitations i'm in for whatever you need me to do
[01:43] <cyberanger> wrst: is that a yes to sharing poc with pace_t_zulu then?
[01:43] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: you are one of our most active members ;)
[01:43]  * cyberanger nominates wrst & pace_t_zulu to share middle tn poc, hopes they'll accept
[01:44] <pace_t_zulu> i accept
[01:44] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: ?
[01:44] <cyberanger> wrst: netritious & jfenn2199 had alot preventing each of them from doing it well, but both of them did manage to pull it off, by splitting the load
[01:46] <cyberanger> 01:41:48             wrst | be back in 5
[01:46] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: perhaps we should come back to middle?

[01:48] <wrst> sorry but cyberangerthat's a yes :)
[01:48] <cyberanger> if somebody from further north in my region steps forward, I would like to split the duties with them

[02:01] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: all the other members in my region are 50 miles north in knoxville, or further, so if we can look for somebody willing to split it
[02:01] <pace_t_zulu> congrats cyberanger ... you're the right man for the job
[02:02] <wrst> yes you are
[02:02] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: no problem

[02:02] <orangeninja> congrats!
[02:02] <pace_t_zulu> ok one last topic
[02:02] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I figure October is the last month at this current rate, however it's likely it'll be shorter

[02:03] <cyberanger> new item, release party planning
[02:03] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: +1
[02:03] <cyberanger> that'll give us two meetings
[02:04] <cyberanger> Sept. & Oct, the release is last week of Oct. however our release party can be earlier or later
[02:04] <pace_t_zulu> it's been added
[02:04] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: orias orangeninja ... anything y'all would like to pencil into the agenda for next month?
[02:04] <cyberanger> right now I have an unoffical pool of ubuntu cd's, I'll see about building a more offical one for the next release party
[02:05] <cyberanger> and get some of these current ones to nlug per their request
[02:05] <orias> we have a mialing list correct?
[02:05] <orangeninja> pace_t_zulu: no, Nothing I can think of right now.
[02:05] <orias> *mailing
[02:05] <pace_t_zulu> orias: yes we do
[02:05] <cyberanger> orias: correct
[02:05] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: please share info on the mailing list with the group
[02:05] <orias> lets send something out a week, a day before to possibly get more people in irc for the meetings
[02:05] <orias> or even in general
[02:05] <pace_t_zulu> [topic]mailing list information
[02:05] <MootBot> New Topic: mailing list information
[02:06] <pace_t_zulu> orias: +1
[02:06] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: can we add that idea, building an offical cd pool (since I probally won't maintain past 11.10 this unoffical one)
[02:06] <pace_t_zulu> orias: you should always feel welcome to post stuff like that
[02:06] <orias> it'd be nice to have more activity in irc
[02:06] <cyberanger> currently I'm maintaining our list, working on a bug that has made the daily digest feature act like a monthly one
[02:07] <cyberanger> once this bug is fixed I'll be handing over control to pace_t_zulu (unless re requests it sooner)
[02:07] <cyberanger> fetching link
[02:07] <pace_t_zulu> orias: and Svpernova09 if you are interested in becoming admins in the group's various online presences ... let me know
[02:07] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I never had access to the forums, all other functions have been changed over
[02:08] <cyberanger> mailing list link https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-US-TN
[02:08] <cyberanger> [link]https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-US-TN
[02:08] <MootBot> LINK received: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-US-TN
[02:08] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'll look into taking responsiblity for our various online presences
[02:09] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: only one your not already in charge of is the forums & mailing list
[02:09] <pace_t_zulu> orias and Svpernova09 if y'all are part of our facebook and/or linkedin groups - you can have elevated privileges in those as well
[02:09] <cyberanger> I've got control of the list, fixing it for you before I hand it over (unless you want it sooner)
[02:09] <cyberanger> the forums you'll have to ask an admin I suppose
[02:10] <pace_t_zulu> hmmm
[02:10] <pace_t_zulu> welcome linuxman410
[02:10] <orias> kk
[02:10] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I didn't know about facebook having more than one admin as a group feature
[02:11] <linuxman410> pace_t_zulu  how are ya
[02:11] <wrst> cyberanger: yeah you can have several admins on a facebook page
[02:11] <cyberanger> I'm requesting that then (I have all the others covered, forum mod aside)
[02:11] <wrst> *fan page
[02:11] <pace_t_zulu> orias and Svpernova09 we can exchange info via pm
[02:11] <cyberanger> wrst: fan page, that's a little worse in my mind, fan of what, we're a group
[02:12] <wrst> cyberanger: good point ;)
[02:12]  * wrst is no facebook expert
[02:12] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: we can create a group as well
[02:13] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: but i'm a fan of our group ;)
[02:14] <pace_t_zulu> it's been a way to broadcast things on facebook
[02:14] <pace_t_zulu> it's served that purpose well
[02:14] <pace_t_zulu> anyway
[02:14] <pace_t_zulu> does anyone else have any other agenda items?
[02:15] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: did you add the cd pool bit?
[02:15] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: cd pool bit?
[02:15] <cyberanger> create an offical cd pool for the loco
[02:16] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'll make that an agenda item
[02:16] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: you should fill out the description though ...
[02:16] <cyberanger> obtain (my case for the unoffical pool was buying them) 11.10 cd's for a loco distrubition pool
[02:16] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: sure, I'll do that
[02:17] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'm making you the "owner" of the agenda item ;)
[02:17] <cyberanger> I have a decent sized pool of natty discs, most are allocated to nlug per a request, the remaining to OLF in ohio, as a TN-LoCo event
[02:18] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i've never had my hands on any pool of release discs
[02:18] <cyberanger> this was an unoffical thing I did as a trustee, out of my pocket
[02:18] <cyberanger> I metioned it once, you missed that meeting, as did jfenn2199 & netritious
[02:18] <pace_t_zulu> ok ... we'll discuss that next month ... it's on the agenda
[02:18] <cyberanger> linuxman410 may have shown up late
[02:18] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: apologies for missing that meeting
[02:19] <pace_t_zulu> january perhaps? i know i miss that one as it was my birthday
[02:19] <cyberanger> I did it cause shipit was just shut down & it was a service that helped me spread ubuntu in the areas around here
[02:19] <linuxman410> cyberanger i did show up late
[02:19] <cyberanger> was thinking november actually
[02:20] <pace_t_zulu> alright... so that's on the agenda for next month
[02:20] <cyberanger> it was closer to natty's release, but at least a month after (disc shortage)
[02:20] <pace_t_zulu> oh
[02:20] <pace_t_zulu> anyway
[02:20] <cyberanger> if we were an offical team, I wouldn't have done that
[02:20] <pace_t_zulu> anyone else have something they want to throw on the agenda for next month's (hopefully shorter meeting)
[02:21] <cyberanger> and yeah, since I bought nearly all the discs, kinda kept that restricted to releasing to each request, and not just giving them out
[02:21] <cyberanger> so I could gauge sucess
[02:21] <cyberanger> seems issue #1 was not announcing it
[02:22] <cyberanger> nothing else from me, atm
[02:22] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i was unaware until now
[02:22] <pace_t_zulu> sorry
[02:22] <pace_t_zulu> so yea, i suppose it didn't receive much attention
[02:23] <pace_t_zulu> so....
[02:23] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I thought I metioned it in that email I forwarded you (I know I didn't metion it more than that, three times at much)
[02:23] <pace_t_zulu> i'll check it out
[02:23] <cyberanger> um, motion to adjourn?
[02:24] <orangeninja> second
[02:24] <orangeninja> lol
[02:25] <cyberanger> #endmeeting
[02:25] <cyberanger> darn, that's become a habit now
[02:25] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: #endmeeting ?
[02:26] <orangeninja> I'll be back in about 30 minutes to an hour. If we have any other zombie patrolers out there.
[02:30] <pace_t_zulu> #endmeeting
[02:30] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 21:30.
[02:30] <pace_t_zulu> sorry
[02:30] <pace_t_zulu> i was adding admins online
[02:30] <Unit193> He wanted to get it right on the half hour
[02:30] <cyberanger> that's alright, we needed that too
[02:32] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: btw, http://tr.im/nogt is a dead link now
[02:32] <cyberanger> all of tr.im is
[02:32] <cyberanger> do you know where that pointed?
[02:32] <cyberanger> Members add your info http://tr.im/nogt
[02:32] <Unit193> Anyway, to make a note on not used items, it's almost as if we have 2 or even 3 LoCos because people on IRC don't watch the forums much, people on the forums don't watch the ML or IRC and people on the ML don't watch IRC or forums :/
[02:32] <pace_t_zulu> it worked out nice
[02:33]  * cyberanger has considered making his own url shortening service, wonders if it'll work
[02:33] <pace_t_zulu> we have forums?
[02:33] <pace_t_zulu> :D
[02:33] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: ping
[02:33] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: yeah, I'd check them if I could do something with them
[02:33] <cyberanger> it's not been loco stuff since racerraul died
[02:34] <cyberanger> he was big on the forums & I wanted to have a meetup here in cleveland, at that time, about two years ago if I recall the forums were utilized more, becuase of him
[02:35] <cyberanger> he'd chat on IRC, but he & binarymutatn kept our forums alive
[02:35] <cyberanger> binarymutant had mod rights, perhaps he could create more mods for us
[02:35] <cyberanger> if he's still got that privalige
[02:35] <Unit193> pace_t_zulu: *My state is working on fixing it
[02:36]  * cyberanger facepalms
[02:37] <pace_t_zulu> Unit193: what state is that?
[02:38] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I did have another item, shortly before our last meeting (or somewhere around then, at least) some of us had considered having a wiki jam, of a different sort, helping the wiki team update documentation
[02:38] <Unit193> pace_t_zulu: Ohio, sadly, I only watch IRC and ML but my bot keeps my up with ML and Forums
[02:38] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: feel free to add it
[02:38] <pace_t_zulu> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/tennessee.team/156/detail/
[02:39] <cyberanger> I'll do that (just couldn't help but feel irritated with myself, forgot that twice already I think)
[02:40] <wrst> cyberanger: documentation is something that ubuntu desperately needs
[02:40] <linuxman410> cyberanger klug has not been updated since 2009
[02:40] <cyberanger> wrst: you Unit193 pace_t_zulu & myself were the main four in that conversation
[02:41] <wrst> yes, after using arch you see just how bad it is with ubuntu and it shouldn't be that way
[02:41] <Unit193> pleia was also (I ducked out
[02:42] <cyberanger> and pretty much agreed (with at least you & me pointing out arch's wiki, google & blogs as being more effective, I even metioned using arch's wiki to fix ubuntu :-|)
[02:42] <cyberanger> right, bad nick tab, meant pleia2
[02:42] <wrst> yeah I used arch's wiki to fix ubuntu before i used arch
[02:43] <Unit193> Forums are great
[02:43] <cyberanger> Unit193: I thought you metioned a bit too, but yeah, I do recall pleia2 arriving & you had to step out for well, life outside the optic fibre
[02:43] <wrst> Unit193: yes they are, but if i need to set up my broadcom wireless i shouldn't have to sift through a million forum threads
[02:44] <Unit193> wrst: I very much so agree, just saying that they can be great
[02:45] <wrst> yes they can be but to me the forums should be more for the oddities not the norm
[02:47] <linuxman410> wrst have you ever tried ultimate edition
[02:47] <wrst> linuxman410: no i've seen it but never tried it
[02:48] <wrst> isn't that ubuntu with a billion things added to it?
[02:48] <linuxman410> wrst yes but they have a light version now
[02:49] <wrst> what desktop does it use linuxman410?
[02:49] <linuxman410> wrst lxde the light version
[02:49] <wrst> nice
[02:56] <wrst> good night all
[02:57] <cyberanger> night wrst
[02:57] <linuxman410> cyberanger did ubuntu do a 10.04 lts 3
[02:58] <cyberanger> linuxman410: believe so
[02:58] <cyberanger> yep, they did

[12:17] <wrst> that's good to know we will probably give one a spin
[12:18] <twayneprice> We got ours from woot.  :)

[14:26] <cyberanger> Xpistos: orias and Svpernova09 are west tn poc, and I'm east tn
[14:26] <cyberanger> that pretty well sums up the meeting
[14:28] <cyberanger> Xpistos: Cowboys & Aliens, hrm, worth watching?
[14:28] <Xpistos> I gave it a 3.5
[14:29] <vychune> dang

[15:12] <Xpistos> That is all we are planning to do, but if someone wants to do a review, then the can let us know
[15:51] <pace_t_zulu> Xpistos: ^ what you were asking cyberanger ... yes
[15:51] <pace_t_zulu> Xpistos: you want to update www.ubuntu-tennessee.org ?
[16:02] <pace_t_zulu> updated the leadership page on ubuntu-tennessee.org ... http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/leadership/
[16:24] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: just added a blog post at www.ubuntu-tennessee.org that had been building up for a week or so :)
[16:26] <Xpistos> pace_t_zulu: thanks
[16:28] <wrst> howdy Xpistos
[16:29] <Xpistos> congrats my Capo
[16:29] <Xpistos> anybody I need to Whack?
[16:29] <wrst> Xpistos: capo?
[16:30] <wrst> I use that on a guitar :)
[16:30] <Xpistos> Capo is short for Captain. Like a mob boss
[16:30] <wrst> or even... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caporegime
[16:31]  * wrst = lunch
[16:55] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: nice ...
[16:55] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: blog posts are great for our group
[16:55] <wrst> have a couple more in the ol' brain I will try to put out there
[16:56] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: let's see if we can draw more attention to it
[17:03] <cyberanger> Xpistos: I'll keep that in mind
[17:04] <Xpistos> cool
[17:04] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: Xpistos cyberanger 'like' the top post (a link to wrst's blog post) ... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-Tennessee/134857110680
[17:04] <Xpistos> If you are interested I will give you the script (just a frame work of what we want in the show  and how to begin and end then it is all you.
[17:06] <pace_t_zulu> have we lost mhall119? :(
[17:06] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: yeah, for the moment at least
[17:06] <pace_t_zulu> he's logged in ... he isn't hanging out at here atm
[17:38] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i need to get info regarding ownership of ubuntu-tennesee.org, it's dns hosting and its www hosting
[17:40] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: ok, lemme see here
[17:52] <vychune> o/
[17:53] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: see pm
[17:56] <starsprout> howdy folks
[17:56] <starsprout> How much would one expect to pay for a reliable hosting package for a resource-heavy, high traffic site?
[17:58] <vychune> 15 a month?
[17:59] <cyberanger> resource heavy, high traffic, more than that, however could you define it a little better
[17:59] <cyberanger> that's vauge, open to interput
[17:59] <starsprout> one of my customers on my VPS has a database heavy (he's a cartoonist) site
[17:59] <starsprout> and his traffic just jumped to over 2,000 visitors/month. this morning he had a comic published on another site and it caused overload
[18:00] <vychune> damn
[18:00] <starsprout> my hosting company keeps trying to sell me a dedicated server but it's 3x the cost of my VPS
[18:06] <starsprout> OR- does anyone know a good Dedicated Server provider with cPanel/WHM?
[18:06] <starsprout> :-)
[18:06] <cyberanger> starsprout: came from another site, somebody big like reddit or dig?
[18:07] <cyberanger> reason I ask is maybe what he really needs is a CDN, http://codeen.cs.princeton.edu/
[18:13] <wrst> starsprout: i've used hostgator they have some interesting options pretty cheap but never had a high traffic situation wtih them
[18:18] <starsprout> yeah, I may as well just get another hostnine account and separate my sites more wisely :-)
[18:20] <wrst> hostgator is a very linux friendly place also
[18:20] <starsprout> regarding a CDN, do I understand I could use that to take the load off my server?
[18:30] <cyberanger> starsprout: yes, same concept in a way to a proxy
[18:31] <cyberanger> not necessarlly simple, but I've done it & it does work, it can be cheaper
[18:31] <cyberanger> (in the case of codeen, free)
[18:48] <orias> why not use a vps? How much monthly traffic?
[18:49] <vychune> orias: i think he said he has one
[18:49] <orias> ahh
[18:49]  * orias likes ovh
[18:49] <vychune> ovh?
[20:09] <wrst> cyberanger, pace_t_zulu thought this was interesting: http://airurando.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/my-first-experience-of-the-ubuntu-loco-team-re-approval-process-first-of-many-i-hope/
[20:13] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: excellent link
[20:13] <pace_t_zulu> thanks
[20:14] <wrst> thought that was pretty good, pace_t_zulu just looking at stuff we are called Tennessee Team and everyone else seems to be called Ubuntu- insert location here, is that normal?
[20:14] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger wrst it would help if you guys "like" the "Ubuntu is Still a Good Distro | Ubuntu Tennessee" link i posted to Ubuntu Tennessee on Facebook .... Ubuntu is Still a Good Distro | Ubuntu Tennessee
[20:15] <wrst> ahh ok i hated to like my own work pace_t_zulu but will do :)
[20:15] <pace_t_zulu> orias: vychune starsprout ^ y'all too if it isn't an inconvenience
[20:15] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: looks like i have or atleast an admin has
[20:19] <orias> I have
[20:45] <starsprout> pace_t_zulu, I don't do facebook :-( but I do like Ubuntu :-)
[20:46] <starsprout> thx cyberanger for the CDN tip, btw. we are moving the customer off my VPS to another cheap host, but will implement a CDN system for his domain only
[20:46] <starsprout> :D
[20:46] <starsprout> then I'm shopping for a new VPS because the one I have is a 2-year-old package and equates to a ripoff at this point
[21:52] <cosmicpizza> hi there
[21:53] <cosmicpizza> someone can test my ftp ?
[21:53] <cosmicpizza> ftp server
[22:34] <cyberanger> starsprout: cool
[22:34] <cyberanger> cosmicpizza: sure, however you might want to wait 8-10 hours, get some sleep
[22:35] <cyberanger> 0034 there isn't it
[22:35] <cyberanger> (might actually be more like 12-14 for me to be awake too)
