jvlbIs it expected that it will be held at Puppet Labs.02:35

thefinn93Item #402:37
thefinn93Ubuntu Hour02:37
jvlbI'm in Salem; it's pretty different.02:37
thefinn93yeah02:37
jvlbWhat is Ubuntu Hour?02:37
thefinn93Good question02:37
thefinn93https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour02:37
thefinn93that's what I know02:37
thefinn93I haven't heard anything about this02:38
thefinn93any thoughts?02:38
bkerensahi all02:39
bkerensa:D02:39
jvlbSounds a bit nebulous.02:39
thefinn93bkerensa, glad you could join us02:39
bkerensaSorry for my tardiness.... I was talking to a realtor/solar company owner02:39
bkerensa:P02:39
thefinn93you're only 40 minutes late02:39
thefinn93ah02:39
* bkerensa slaps thefinn9302:39
bkerensaok so where are we?02:39
* thefinn93 demands that bkerensa explain Ubuntu Hour02:39
C_SmithI can, for one hour, give out Ubuntu CD I make (it'll be a limited amount) if that would count, I can also help other users with their Ubuntu troubles to the best of my ability02:39
C_Smithgotta love Lightscribe.02:40
bkerensaok02:40
C_SmithI still would have to figure out where I would do this.02:40
bkerensaSo Ubuntu Hour is a event that most locos hold02:40
thefinn93what does it entail?02:41
bkerensaits a social hour on a monthly basis that usually includes going to a bar/restaurant/cafe and socializing and talking linux02:41
thefinn93huh02:41
thefinn93ok02:41
thefinn93cool02:41
thefinn93what did you have in mind for us?02:41
bkerensahttp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntu.com%2FHour&ei=4vBeTuDvH4_ViAKOvNTJDg&usg=AFQjCNF4eEN27l86bm-7RJRbvp9Bw_97Fw02:41
C_Smithwell, if I were to attend, It would have to be from the Salem/Keizer area, I have no way to make it up to Portland for that,02:41
jvlbThe description makes it sound a bit presentational, like for the broader public.02:41
bkerensahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour02:41
bkerensathats the wiki for Ubuntu Hour02:42
thefinn93yeah02:42
bkerensaC_Smith we will definately look at doing Ubuntu Hour's in Keizer/Salem if there is the demand02:42
C_Smithbeing as I am 19, I can't walk into a bar legally.02:42
thefinn93Same02:43
thefinn93well02:43
thefinn931802:43
bkerensaC_Smith well we can go to a restaurant/bar02:43
bkerensaor even a cafe02:43
bkerensaits open to our loco's discretion where we hold it02:43
C_Smithif it helps, I could scope out places in Salem for that.02:43
thefinn93that'd be awesome02:43
C_Smithbrb02:43
C_Smithdarned dog02:44
thefinn93:D02:44
C_Smithtoo afraid to go out the doggy dorr02:44
C_Smith*door02:44
thefinn93alright, anything else on the Ubuntu Hour?02:44
thefinn93302:45
thefinn93202:45

C_SmithI'll scope out places tomorrow, It'll take me a while, but I should be able to find a place02:45
thefinn93cool02:45
thefinn93alright02:45
thefinn93thanks02:45
thefinn93ok, last scheduled item02:45
thefinn93Finding a place in the Willamette Valley for members to hang out at (such as in Salem/Keizer)02:45
bkerensaC_Smith: I'm unsure if their are internet cafes in Keizer or Salem but that might be a place to start02:46
thefinn93i guess that's what we're talking about02:46
thefinn93lol02:46
bkerensa=o02:46
C_Smithalso, we should revisit item 302:46
C_SmithI'll look for those.02:46

thefinn93ok02:46
thefinn93Item #3, this time with bkerensa02:46
thefinn93Oneiric Release Party Planning02:46
bkerensaYes02:46
thefinn93do tell02:47
bkerensaSo I'm thinking we might have this at Backspace although if PuppetLabs were up to it we could do it there again depending on them02:47
bkerensaBackspace is nice but I have hit roadblocks making arrangements with them02:47
thefinn93what about theos?02:47
thefinn93that's where 2600 meets, it's right next door and much quieter02:47
bkerensaThey always give me a generic response of "Uhh we have lots of concerts and e-mail us" I e-mail and they never respond02:48
C_SmithI'll have to plan ahead myself, but I'm looking forward to this, if Guests are welcome, I'll have 1-2 other people with me,02:48
thefinn93cool02:48
bkerensaI'm unsure if we want to meet at a spot that 2600 meets02:48
bkerensajk02:48
bkerensa:)02:48
thefinn93it's not like we're gonna over lap02:48
C_Smith2600?02:48

bkerensaI have one thing to note.... Finn how many ppl are you bringing? Can we count on any 2600 people? anyone else bringing guests? Also I thought there were five people here finn02:51
C_Smithand that way I can try and get some of my planning I need done02:51
thefinn93ok, do we want to discuss the Willamette Vally people meeting some more?02:52
bkerensaC_Smith: Could you make the Oneiric party if we did it in Portland this time?02:52
C_SmithI'm bringing probably 4 other people02:52
bkerensathefinn93: We will defer on Willamette Valley so C_Smith can get leads02:52
thefinn93ok02:52

thefinn93cool02:57
jvlbSo, did you hear what happened when Sarah Palin was told she needed to have a password with eight characters?02:57
bkerensathefinn93: It will be a "friends of the loco" cast that way we can do what we choose versus CoC and other rules02:57
thefinn93ah02:58
bkerensajvlb: She said Thomas Jefferson told her 4 was ok?02:58

C_Smithg'day19:13
thefinn93g'day19:13
thefinn93want to send someone some lube?19:13
thefinn93http://www.wetsynergy.com/tryfree.php19:13
thefinn93they verify the email tho19:13
C_Smithummm, no, that's okay.19:14
thefinn93lol19:14
thefinn93i sent some to a bunch of my friends19:14
C_Smithanyway, the reason I came on is a question regarding Oneiric, is the beta relatively safe to install, if I don't care about support? or should I wait for the stable release?19:15
C_Smithas you probably know, it went beta today.19:15
thefinn93oh19:15
thefinn93i wasn't actually aware that it went beta19:16
thefinn93i imagine it's safe to install19:16
thefinn93but i don't really know19:16
thefinn93i have a server in the basement running it19:16
C_Smithhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/ubuntu-11-10-beta-released-reviewed/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG!+Ubuntu!%29&utm_content=FaceBook that19:16
C_Smiths where I read it.19:16
C_SmithOMG! Ubuntu has been a fairly reliable source for Ubuntu news.19:17
thefinn93yeah19:17
C_Smithbut to be safe, I'll install it on a VM first.19:17
thefinn93alright19:17
C_Smithnow for lunch19:17
thefinn93damn19:18
thefinn93no i386 server images19:18
bkerensayou can always upgrade and then downgrade19:20
bkerensasame install19:20
C_Smithhmmmm, well, either way, I'll install it in a VirtualBox (one of the reasons I always have the software handy)19:46
C_Smithmeh, gotta go help someone move at around 3.....19:48
C_Smithhey, Ben, are you using the Beta?19:50
tgm4883Beta FTW19:54
C_Smithyeah, I'm looking into it myself, I'm gonna see how many programs I have installed via repos currently can be installed on Oneiric (Virtualbox will help a lot here)19:57
C_Smithdoubt many of the PPAs I have are upgraded for it.19:58
tgm4883C_Smith, depending on the program, they may not need to be20:00
C_Smithcool20:01
C_Smiththere'll likely be at least one, though, I have a lot of PPAs added.20:01
tgm4883really? what for?20:02
C_Smithalmost all my software not included with Ubuntu is from a PPA, such as Super Boot Manager, Ubuntu Tweak, etc20:02
C_Smithand Cairo Dock20:02
C_Smithand a bunch more20:03
C_SmithI can easily get 2 lists of different PPAs list (excluding the default repos) in the default size of the list in the other software tab.20:04
C_Smitha lot of my stuff came from browsing Linoob.com and OMG! Ubuntu.20:05
C_SmithJono has done it again! what a guy. http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/09/01/loco-team-portal-gets-blogging-support/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter20:07
C_Smithlooks like this might be a good change.20:07
tgm4883Anyone know if the UDS sponsorship list has been sent out yet?20:08
tgm4883bkerensa, didn't you review an ideapad?20:08
C_SmithI've no clue.20:08
C_Smithand unfortunately for us in the LoCo team blog page, they need the team to be approved, and I don't believe we are....20:09
bkerensatgm4883: I have one but I probably wont review it for a month.... I got it for two months and got to many other things I gotta review20:09
tgm4883is that the 7 in for 199?20:10
bkerensaumm no20:13
bkerensathe one I got is $499 I think20:13
tgm4883ah20:14
tgm4883looking at the specs for the 7in, i'm not as excited as I once was20:14
C_Smithlol, Dane Cook20:23
bkerensaThe one I have is epic nice20:27
bkerensabetter than a iPad imho20:27
C_Smithbah, the beta doesn't have CDs....20:32
C_Smithmeh, might as well upgrade.20:36
C_Smithbah, the upgrade failed..... >.<20:48
C_Smithoh well, guess I'll wait.20:49
tgm4883C_Smith, the beta doesn't have CD's?21:19
C_Smithnot on the beta page, the daily build page, does, though.21:19
C_Smiththe Beta page only has DVD images,21:21
tgm4883C_Smith, where is the beta page?21:25
tgm4883I'm just looking at the Wiki and it seems fine there21:26
C_Smithhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/beta-1/ <- the page I looked at.21:36
