[00:00] not yet [00:00] I don't think he has left just yet. [00:00] speaking of... LOL [00:00] 9 days before I leave [00:00] great minds think alike [00:30] Are we having a meeting? Is grantbow in Africa yet? Where is the link to the pics from the picnic? [00:32] MarkDude: you should read twitter more often :) [00:32] LOL [00:34] * MarkDude is down with Twitter more for job related stuff. I am at social media overload. [00:35] helping people from range of hevy metal crazy to yoga instructors with it. I think the extremes have got to me. That and I still cant wrap my mind around Dangerous G in Nairobi [01:50] * aaditya appears out of nowhere. [01:50] Woah! Where you come from? :P [01:51] I landed on this planet about 48 seconds ago! [01:52] Is this the orange planet of unity? ;) [01:53] Nawww, It's the Blue planet of Plasma :P:P [01:54] This is sooooo strange. [01:54] I have an AMD64 chipset in my desktop/server [01:54] But, 64bit installs don't work on it... [01:54] Ow, you did not just talk about that F word! [01:54] 32 bit just did. [01:55] That's weird. What's the error message? [01:55] No, not the F word... the K word. [01:55] It wont install... Just hangs. [01:55] 18 separate times with different media/ISOs each time. [01:57] Oh, that's not good. [01:57] Then again... I think my desktop is about to go anyway. [01:57] How old is it? [01:58] I bought it when the AMD63 3200+ chip first came out... so, a while. [01:58] *AMD64 [02:01] meeting time :) [02:01] #startmeeting [02:02] * DarkwingDuck kicks his server out the door [02:02] Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11August28 [02:02] DarkwingDuck: you should probably chair since these are your items :) [02:03] Well, before I added them today, there was no items :) [02:03] Okay, Moving meeting information over to loco.ubuntu [02:03] IIRC the Community Council along with Ubuntu at large likes using the loco.ubuntu for information. [02:04] As far as I can tell, it seems like a nice little tool and if people actually go to the page and click "Attend" we can have a count of who is here and who isn't [02:04] Like a like or +1 button? [02:05] I thought there was... [02:05] Looking at the meeting I have setup for the 11th. [02:05] we did a trial of this (and still used the wiki too) a few meetings ago: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-california/120/detail/ [02:05] unfortunately for our past two meetings the loco directory has been completely down due to server problems, so I'm not entirely confident we want to rely upon it exclusively yet :\ [02:06] * DarkwingDuck nods [02:06] they claim it's fixed, but I'd rather see prolonged evidence of this [02:06] I'll set it up for the next few meetings and see how it goes. [02:06] Anyone have any issues/problems with this? [02:06] Who is here anyway? [02:06] DarkwingDuck: there is a way to add an agenda item, but not mark yourself as attending [02:07] o/ [02:07] \o [02:07] pleia2, Yes, I say that... Must add a +1 attended button. [02:07] "Bother," said Pooh. [02:07] say/saw [02:07] Ubuntu's table was the shiniest at the Picnic! [02:07] DarkwingDuck: submit a bug? :) [02:07] thanks aaditya :) [02:07] Wait, are we past announcements? [02:07] pleia2, Or, write the module and submit it :D [02:08] Have not gotten there. [02:08] Ubuntu *did* have the nicest looking table [02:08] DarkwingDuck: yeah, you do that [02:08] It most certainly rocked [02:08] Why is server installing -generic-pae and not -server??????? [02:08] I like the idea of trying to use the loco directory for meetings, alongside the wiki for a couple months [02:08] Sorry [02:08] see how it goes [02:09] Okay, I have setup for the 11th then. [02:09] DarkwingDuck: should probably set yourself as chair though, that's solano stroll day and that's until 6PM [02:09] I think it's too much trouble / making extra work for little to no benefit / confusing for attendees [02:09] not sure jdeslip and I will be home in time [02:09] eps: the wiki is easier? [02:09] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-california/196/detail/ [02:09] When/if the wiki is working [02:09] eps: a lot of people can't even log into the wiki :( [02:09] I like loco. because of the tracking value. :D [02:10] * DarkwingDuck is a sucker for stats and tracking [02:10] The wiki is a "must run" service. The loco directory is not. [02:10] "must run"? [02:10] ... [02:10] * DarkwingDuck is confused. [02:10] Ubuntu's reputation depends on the wiki working. Nobody cares about the poor little locos. [02:11] eps: they are run by the same server admins and are both very valuable resources, the wiki is down more often than the loco directory [02:11] I mean, now that the wiki has been upgraded it has improved, but it was really horrible stability wise for almost a year [02:11] so I don't really understand how you can say "Ubuntu's reputation depends on it" - it didn't this year :) [02:12] The wiki is the public face of Ubuntu. loco is the other end of the beast. [02:12] I still get massive errors trying to save to the wiki [02:12] but, I digress... [02:12] a lot of people have trouble with wiki syntax too, loco directory you just click "add agenda item" and don't need to worry about formatting or edit conflicts [02:13] Anything else on the l.u.c? [02:13] Did it ever occur to you that some people consider tracking a negative? [02:13] How? [02:13] Tracking our events, meetings and everything is key to understanding out exposure [02:13] eps: we have to have our meetings be public [02:13] they are tracked already, that is not changing [02:14] It's just the work put into the tracking :) [02:14] yeah, work done by me [02:14] Yeah, I should start doing more along that line Lys sorry :. [02:14] :/ [02:14] *Lyz [02:14] dang, I can't type tonight. [02:14] Okay, next item... [02:15] I am please to be hosting a Global Jam here in San Diego [02:15] woohoo san diego [02:15] It will be in the evening of the 3rd. [02:16] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1198/detail/ [02:16] IT will be at Cafe Libertalia [02:16] We will be doing Upgrading and Testing at the Jam. [02:17] Assuming that I can get my server back online... [02:17] We will have a local mirror so we don't gunk up the bandwidth. [02:17] We will also have something online. [02:17] cool [02:18] So, we get a Jam. :) [02:18] Any questions/comments? [02:19] Okay, Announcements? [02:19] aaditya, Did you have something? [02:19] the linux picnic was awesome! [02:19] Woot! [02:19] I uploaded photos of our table to our flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntu-us-ca/sets/72157627534061734/ [02:20] and blogged about it here: http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=4949 [02:20] Generations henceforth shall speak of the glorious picnic [02:20] fedora had a table this year too :) they had streamers and balloons and OLPCs [02:20] fedora: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/6087641260/ [02:21] Well fedora was more trying to buy folks love [02:21] people do love those little green laptops [02:21] Ubuntu had genuine awesomeness at the table [02:21] DarkwingDuck: just the picnic, that's all! [02:21] I liked the animals [02:21] :) [02:21] Solano Stroll is coming up on September 11th: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/SolanoStroll2011 [02:21] Oh, another note... [02:22] Awesome! [02:22] jdeslip and I have started getting our "need stuff" lists together [02:22] oops, one error on that page, fixing [02:22] proper loco directory link is http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1208/detail/ [02:22] San Diego, starting the 20th will be holding b-monthly Ubuntu Hours. [02:23] *bi-monthly [02:23] Oh, let it be noted I got those streamers from the Win7 party from along time ago. Nothing like taking sumthin' from the machine- to change the machine [02:23] Twice a month rather [02:23] cool [02:24] How many cookies does that recipe yield? [02:24] eps: "These recipes made about two dozen Android cookies, I doubled the recipe to get the four dozen I brought to the picnic." [02:25] any other announcements? [02:25] Any comments/concerns? [02:25] oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAppDeveloperWeek is coming up Sept 5-9 [02:26] that's over in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat [02:26] Oh, and for those Kubuntu/KDE users out there... [02:26] I'll be hosting a Bug Jam and a Doc Jam online [02:26] I'll announce those on the ML [02:27] When I hash out the timing. [02:27] Anyway, if there is nothing else... [02:27] Thank you all for attending. [02:27] #endmeeting [02:27] thanks everyone [02:28] * pleia2 goes to spend last hour with MJ before he goes on trip (*sniffle*) [02:28] * DarkwingDuck is going to fight with his server some more [02:30] aaditya: you were epically funny today- I told a few people - my Grandma lost it laughing [02:31] I try. :P === DarkwingDuck_ is now known as DarkwingDuck [06:05] how up to date are ubuntu's restricted drivers? [06:18] For? [06:20] my desktop DarkwingDuck [06:20] nvidia gforce [06:20] ahhh, video drivers. [06:20] They work well for mone. [06:20] *Mine [06:20] Natty or Oneiric? [06:20] new montor doesnt show an immage but only static. though the old crt monitor showed it just fine. its natty [06:21] it might be the deskop inself. but it worked right before i moved. so i figure its the driver. [06:22] Looks like there is a gap... [06:22] 32 or 64? [06:22] 32 [06:22] it also didnt work on 10.04 [06:22] http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [06:22] odd as it worked with my crt [06:23] i can just ssh into it probably and install that i guess [07:28] so how did the meeting go? [16:38] DarkwingDuck_: are we starting those ubuntuhours starting 9/6? [16:38] the loco directory says the 20th [22:17] hey DarkwingDuck_ , did you get a chance yet to chack out cafe hillcrast yet? [22:47] i thought we had it 'reserved' or something [22:48] and, i'm curious as to whether thats for the jam, or for the bimonthly [22:48] philipballew: ^^ [22:49] oh kdub DarkwingDuck_ said he found a location for both [22:49] ah, cool [22:49] heres the link [22:50] http://www.cafelibertalia.com/wordpress/ [22:50] kdub, [22:51] neat, pretty decent location [22:52] If you live in the Bay Area avoid BART tonight [22:52] :D [22:52] and every monday night for the foreseeable future [22:52] seems good. he seems to want to plan the logistics. thaat is a really nice area [22:53] philipballew: you can also bike-ride up there via the OB bike path, i think [22:53] gets you through the I-5/I-8 interchange mess to hillcrest [22:55] I might just ride. the hassle of driving on the freeway's compared to a Saturday bike ride seem to favor the bike. it gets out at 7 so there's still time to do something saturday night kdub [22:56] oh, i meant for the weekly things [22:56] ahh. well yeah. as well. that should be pretty fun. I think well just have to see what happens. you gonna be able to make it saturday? [22:57] saturday, probably not :P [22:57] no worries :) [23:31] philipballew: haha, great blog post :) [23:34] hey! thank you :) [23:34] pleia2, I wanted to make it worth reading. I hope I did :)
