| pace_t_zulu | [topic] Ubuntu 11.10 Release Parties | 00:50 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Ubuntu 11.10 Release Parties | 00:50 |
| pace_t_zulu | average_guy and nathandyer sound off if you're here - for attendance purposes | 00:50 |
| average_guy | present | 00:51 |
| nathandyer | present | 00:51 |
| average_guy | and down for a release party | 00:51 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: that maybe a re-occuring thing too, but won't overlap often | 00:52 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: fantastic | 00:52 |
| pace_t_zulu | nathandyer and average_guy ... cyberanger is the East TN Point of Contact | 00:52 |
| cyberanger | (if I didn't walk here, left when it ended, I'd be ontime | 00:52 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: nathandyer is in Elizabethton and average_guy is in knoxville | 00:52 |
| cyberanger | but first meet, later than ususal, so I'll rea the notes | 00:52 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: we just started now | 00:53 |
| cyberanger | that makes knox the middle-ish area | 00:53 |
| cyberanger | ah, good to know | 00:53 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: that's where i was going with it ... so this would be more your arena | 00:53 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: may i yield to you with regards to the current topic - seeing as everyone present (myself excluded) is from east tn | 00:54 |
| pace_t_zulu | [idea] knoxville is most central between cyberanger and nathandyer | 00:56 |
| MootBot | IDEA received: knoxville is most central between cyberanger and nathandyer | 00:56 |
| cyberanger | that might be a little off, for a meeting we can vary some | 00:57 |
| cyberanger | are you both wanting a release party? | 00:57 |
| nathandyer | I would like to see one, but I think it is unlikely I would be able to attend due to my current circumstances. But, who knows? | 00:58 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: average_guy expressed interest ... he's in knoxville | 00:58 |
| average_guy | I think "wanting" is a strong word, but as I am new to the team, I would come check it out | 00:58 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: anyone else you know of in the knoxville area? | 00:58 |
| pace_t_zulu | seems inappropriate to be planning a middle tn meeting with no other middle tn members present | 00:59 |
| cyberanger | till today I thought i was it again | 00:59 |
| cyberanger | walking back home, 10-15m | 01:00 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: if it's all the same to you ... i'm considering adjourning | 01:00 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: perhaps you can carry on the discussion with nathandyer and average_guy | 01:01 |
| pace_t_zulu | how do y'all feel about that? | 01:01 |
| average_guy | agreed | 01:01 |
| nathandyer | agreed | 01:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | motion to adjourn ... does anyone second that motion? | 01:02 |
| average_guy | second | 01:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | #endmeeting | 01:02 |
| MootBot | Meeting finished at 20:02. | 01:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | i'm going to watch the titans | 01:02 |
| cyberanger | halfway home | 01:04 |
| average_guy | cyberanger: whatchin doin walkin? | 01:07 |
| nathandyer | I hate to skip out, guys, but I have some stuff I have to get caught up on for tomorrow. It's been fun! | 01:11 |
| cyberanger | back | 01:12 |
| cyberanger | nathandyer: glad to see you at a meeting | 01:12 |
| average_guy | goodnite nathandyer | 01:12 |
| nathandyer | cyberanger Glad to be here! Night average_guy! | 01:13 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: the hard thing with our size still, if a single person misses, it's two at a restraunt on a day off | 01:14 |
| average_guy | no doubt | 01:14 |
| cyberanger | if two people miss, even worse | 01:14 |
| average_guy | you say THAT like it's happened | 01:15 |
| cyberanger | on top of that, if the one that shows isn't a local.... | 01:15 |
| cyberanger | well, we've had size issues in this group, big on IRC, in a very big state | 01:16 |
| cyberanger | prying that cat5e from somebody's hands to come out, transportation issues, high gas costs | 01:16 |
| average_guy | yeah, I feel ya | 01:17 |
| cyberanger | there is always a reason to expect the potential for a low turnout | 01:17 |
| cyberanger | once myself (I've been the head of east tn twice now, trustee for nearly a year in the middle) and a different head of west tn met up in middle tn | 01:18 |
| average_guy | well, here's my thing... I don't understand the point of a "release party" or this group in general really | 01:19 |
| cyberanger | we were expecting two or three more from middle tn, luckily nlug did get the news, 4 at a table, my drive met nearly every detour & delay imaginable | 01:19 |
| cyberanger | new release of ubuntu, we party, lemme fire up my main laptop (not this cli only netbook) and maybe I can help show the idea better | 01:20 |
| cyberanger | this group, that's a tricker one, means defining people | 01:20 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: fyi, pianobar on underpowered netbook, nice tunes, no flash crash | 01:21 |
| average_guy | I mean, the general goal of this group is what? Why was it created? | 01:21 |
| average_guy | Simply to advocate the use of Ubuntu in the local community? | 01:24 |
| cyberanger | well, I can tell you why we ( pace_t_zulu wrst myself & others who I don't see present tonight ) restarted the group in Dec. 2008 | 01:24 |
| cyberanger | we all had an intrest in ubuntu, and an intrest in learning, sharing & swapping expirences about our use of it | 01:25 |
| average_guy | awesome | 01:25 |
| cyberanger | there are different reasons it starts, I think you hit canonical's goal for it on the head though | 01:25 |
| average_guy | so what is the goal of a "release party" | 01:25 |
| average_guy | just to check out the new release? | 01:26 |
| cyberanger | (something some of us are willing to do, however a little reluctant I must admit myself, being that I'm not a fan of the current release) | 01:26 |
| cyberanger | well, it varies by event, in short, a celebration for another release | 01:26 |
| cyberanger | but some groups have gear they hand out (ubuntu cd's t-shirts, so on) | 01:27 |
| cyberanger | others have demo of it setup | 01:27 |
| average_guy | so, how do WE get that? | 01:27 |
| cyberanger | our attitude in knoxville towards that in the past was the simple approach, show off our setups at best, but otherwise dinner & chat, a good night offline | 01:28 |
| cyberanger | I think the release party is hard to describe due to having to be at it to help define it | 01:29 |
| average_guy | cool | 01:29 |
| cyberanger | sorta a group defines the mood | 01:29 |
| cyberanger | (I may do cd's, but can't afford cd's, shirts & gas to knoxville, gotta draw the line) | 01:29 |
| average_guy | Lol, No, you need to get cononical to come off that stuff. | 01:30 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: can you travel? | 01:32 |
| average_guy | I have a jeep | 01:33 |
| average_guy | I not rich though | 01:33 |
| wrst | cyberanger: sorry got tied up! | 01:34 |
| cyberanger | yeah, same boat, I see any travelling favors somebody here, if it was just you & me, I'd see about merging with a party due east, I'm also considering we both head to Elizabethton for the release party, if nathandyer 's circumstances are merely tranportation | 01:35 |
| cyberanger | but yeah, same boat, if I do a knox thing, it's 100mi of gas, at 16mpg, not too pretty | 01:36 |
| average_guy | I'm down for whatever | 01:36 |
| cyberanger | wrst: plans in cookeville? | 01:36 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: nashville? | 01:36 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: how far is reasonable, for a decent turnout | 01:37 |
| cyberanger | (I don't mind doing it for three people with that turn out actually happening, I actually don't mind doing it for two people, but parties = crowds, we all know three's a crowd ;-)) | 01:38 |
| cyberanger | wrst: you are a TN PoC now ;-) hope you'd consider a cookeville event ;-) | 01:38 |
| average_guy | Elizabethton is pretty far | 01:40 |
| wrst | cyberanger: not for sure we gots a month let me see what can get going :) | 01:42 |
| cyberanger | wrst: seems klug has bit the bullet, and I'm getting a close view of cooklug | 01:43 |
| cyberanger | looking at boosting numbers, if we actually have an event, I wanna try and insure some turnout (esp with new intrest) | 01:44 |
| cyberanger | wrst: has cooklug actually gone quiet | 01:48 |
| cyberanger | ? | 01:49 |
| cyberanger | I mean, are they active | 01:49 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: one of the hard parts with this is we used to invite the lugs to insure a little more turn out when we were smaller, now we have one lug in east tn, here in chattanooga | 01:50 |
| cyberanger | next closest is asheville, nc or nashville, tn | 01:50 |
| cyberanger | in terms of actitivy that is | 01:51 |
| average_guy | yeah, sounds like we need more membership in east TN. | 01:52 |
| cyberanger | overall numbers vary, releases they tend to grow, holidays fellas disapper for family, summer idk, family too I guess | 01:54 |
| cyberanger | so we're kinda right there in the slow spot, whole state needs a boost | 01:55 |
| wrst | cyberanger: cooklug is pretty well quiet | 01:56 |
| wrst | but cyberanger we have quality! | 01:57 |
| cyberanger | the loco you mean, or cooklug? | 01:57 |
| wrst | loco! | 01:58 |
| wrst | cyberanger: in cooklug two of the main guys moved off including igneous who are speaking with | 01:58 |
| average_guy | I'm not really that excited about a new release either. I rode mint till the wheels fell off - support was over, couldn't get features I wanted.. I don't NEED to upgrade every 6 mo. | 02:03 |
| average_guy | why I've been interested in rolling distro's lately | 02:04 |
| average_guy | but what I've GOT it workin for me | 02:04 |
| average_guy | *is | 02:04 |
| cyberanger | wrst: ah yea, that we do, (my big mouth would like to add, more quality than unity has) | 02:05 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: debian testing (and distros based on it) are pretty close to rolling as one can get without going crazy with arch & slackware | 02:05 |
| average_guy | yeah, I'm delving into arch | 02:06 |
| average_guy | I like the idea of it | 02:06 |
| wrst | arch is actually pretty stable, but average_guy, cyberanger unity in 11.10 is really looking nice so I'm thinking by LTS time Ubuntu will hit another home run like they did with 10.04 and 8.04 | 02:07 |
| average_guy | That IS my main complaint about Ubuntu.. I don't want to keep upgrading.. I'm not really seeing any increased functionality, just different themes and visual stuff.. | 02:09 |
| average_guy | I don't care that much about how it looks | 02:09 |
| wrst | average_guy: i have to agree with you somewhat on ubuntu seems like its much more looks oriented, but to get it out to the masses a slick interface is necessary | 02:12 |
| average_guy | that is true | 02:13 |
| cyberanger | wrst: I degress, I think bugs getting fixed is a bigger priority, followed shortly by documentation for your own product | 02:13 |
| cyberanger | looks are nice, but why devote resources to it, if you don't take time to document your work | 02:14 |
| average_guy | Idk. To me, Linux is general's strength is it's stability. That's what attracts people. You can't try to compete with Apple on cool interfaces | 02:15 |
| wrst | cyberanger: can't argue there becaue ubuntu's documentation sucks | 02:15 |
| cyberanger | they moved the buttons over in 10.04, a large outroar came from it, they said it was to assist in a new notification bar, and I still have yet to see that bar | 02:16 |
| cyberanger | confuses former windows users I'm trying to convert | 02:16 |
| wrst | yeah that was i think because shuttleworth has a lust for macs | 02:17 |
| cyberanger | some interface choices seem to be counterproductive to new users too | 02:17 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: next meeting we'll see about release parties (as trustee, I was pretty insistant about community events, I'm trying to keep that same insistant requirement here, it's a good community event, near the moment everyone seems to be looking for a celebration of sorts) | 02:32 |
| average_guy | cool | 02:33 |
| cyberanger | man, just found out the thrashers moved | 02:43 |
| cyberanger | winnipeg nedded a pro team again, but it stole one of two pro rinks from me (granted the preds have been better on average it seems, I just don't like fighting my way in & out of down town) | 02:44 |
| * cyberanger points out to everyone in the area, I'm a hockey nut, not a american football fan | 02:44 | |
| wrst | cyberanger: didn't know the thrashers had moved, can't say atlanta is exactly a hockey hotbed | 02:47 |
| cyberanger | wrst: and the stats prove it | 02:48 |
| cyberanger | winnipeg fought for their team, and the Chairman of the NHL at that time was moving small (but dedicated) markets to warm weather cities, amoung them was atlanta | 02:49 |
| wrst | yeah didn't notice that but I don't keep up with much off season hockey short of what i hear about the preds on nashville sports talk | 02:50 |
| cyberanger | and this is just proof that guy (while I commend him for trying to export hockey further, and areas was sucessful) was a nut for dislodging great fans from their teams | 02:50 |
| cyberanger | yeah, same here (I'm looking at dates for a few months out though, but probally just gonna go with the ususal small league trip (or get lucky at a blackhawks game ;-)) | 02:51 |
| cyberanger | and noticed that looking for atlanta | 02:51 |
| cyberanger | during the season though, bam | 02:53 |
| wrst | well i'm off to bed have a good night cyberanger, average_guy | 02:54 |
| cyberanger | night wrst | 02:57 |
| * cyberanger considers the same idea, tosses it around | 02:57 | |
| * cyberanger gets bored, grabs a tennis ball to toss instead | 02:58 | |
| * cyberanger gets bored again, sees a shiney penny, puts it in his wallet & goes to watch Mr. Deeds, night all | 03:02 | |
| cyberanger | http://www.crackle.com/c/Mr._Deeds if anyone else wishes | 03:04 |
| Unit193 | Looks like cyberanger didn't put me on anything like he said he would ;) | 05:43 |
| === Xpistos1 is now known as Xpistos | ||
| Xpistos | What up yo s! | 13:40 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: IRC has a problem with fine print | 13:55 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: not much how's your day | 13:56 |
| Xpistos | not too shabby | 13:57 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: fine print: Unit193 will orginize the first tennessee loco release party in another state, failure to do so will make you my minion for life >:-) | 14:08 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I thought Unit193 was your minion anyway ? :) | 14:09 |
| cyberanger | lol | 14:09 |
| * cyberanger is suprised Unit193 has yet to comment on my mininion joke | 16:43 | |
| * cyberanger figures he's having an offline expierence | 17:02 | |
| === Xpistos is now known as XpistosAtLunch | ||
| cyberanger | XpistosAtLunch: bring me back some too | 17:55 |
| * cyberanger is hungry | 17:55 | |
| Unit193 | I'm online now though | 18:20 |
| wrst | about time you get here to defend yourself Unit193 | 18:22 |
| Unit193 | Can't, it's about 97F here and I'll be lucky to fight that off... | 18:23 |
| * cyberanger laughs, gives his minion a day off, after all, I'm not running hell (and is sounds as hot as hell there ;-)) | 18:28 | |
| XpistosAtLunch | Peanut butter anyone | 19:08 |
| === XpistosAtLunch is now known as Xpistos | ||
| * cyberanger raises his peanut butter covered hand | 19:08 | |
| Unit193 | It's really funny if you read that as head... No thanks though | 19:11 |
| * cyberanger couldn't find the cookie jar | 19:12 | |
| cyberanger | ow, I think I bit a finger, no never mind, just a thumb, I only need one of those for the space bar | 19:17 |
| Unit193 | Being in AC is so great... | 20:44 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: as somebody who (willingly, for a change) just got done walking a mile in a town ignorant of pedestrain rights under traffic laws, I agree | 20:48 |
| Xpistos | That settles it Windows 7 is stupid! | 20:48 |
| Unit193 | We don't have it at home, but I don't walk places in this heat | 20:48 |
| Unit193 | Xpistos: I wouldn't disagree. What's it doing? | 20:48 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: I see a typo there, you added a 7 | 20:52 |
| Xpistos | lol | 20:56 |
| Xpistos | specifically and in general | 20:56 |
| Xpistos | Couldn't map a network drive using the Share name but could with the ip address | 20:57 |
| Xpistos | Stupid | 20:57 |
