[01:09] <androidbruce> well we should do something 
[01:09] <androidbruce> i missed the last one 
[01:09] <seattlegaucho> can we find a place where we can all get together? aka ... as in a meetup?
[01:09] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, yeah definitely 
[01:09] <seattlegaucho> pizza + beer + hacking ... what can go wrong
[01:09] <androidbruce> id have a party/bonfire at my place if we wanted 
[01:09] <valorie> where are you, androidbruce?
[01:09] <androidbruce> we can use my place to hack,eat,and burn stuff ;)
[01:09] <androidbruce> Puyallup now 
[01:09] <androidbruce> new place big back yeard 
[01:09] <valorie> I would love to have a party somewhere
[01:10] <androidbruce> yard**
[01:10] <androidbruce> party here, pass out w/e 
[01:10] <valorie> cool -- that's easy for me
[01:10] <seattlegaucho> BTW, I upgraded my old windows phone to a mytouch 4G
[01:10] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, ha nice dude 
[01:10] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, put cm7 on it 
[01:10] <seattlegaucho> ... love to use it as my personal wifi hotspot
[01:10] <valorie> not sure about the folks up north
[01:10] <androidbruce> yeah 
[01:10] <valorie> but I just made contact with a guy in Tacoma via linkedin
[01:10] <androidbruce> gotcha 
[01:10] <seattlegaucho> pls don't make it too far south
[01:10] <androidbruce> its' 11/10 or 10/11?
[01:11] <androidbruce> i'm close to Tacoma seattlegaucho 
[01:11] <seattlegaucho> south ctr mall is not that bad depending where you are in Tacoma
[01:12] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, that's Tukwila 
[01:13] <androidbruce> tacoma is even farther south 
[01:13] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, http://g.co/maps/whaz
[01:14] <seattlegaucho> I know that much ... but I work close to Pike Pl market and live in Bellevue ... Tukwilla is pretty far away
[01:15] <seattlegaucho> especially w/ traffic after work
[01:15] <seattlegaucho> Red Robin ... if I remember correctly ... it's in the south part of the mall
[01:15] <seattlegaucho> ... but I can imagine it could be a pain if you're in the south part of Tacoma
[01:16] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, yeah true 
[01:16] <androidbruce> well we can have a meetup 
[01:16] <androidbruce> and a party in puyallup 
[01:16] <androidbruce> or just one, w/e 
[01:17] <androidbruce> i no longer work on the eastside
[01:18] <androidbruce> seattlegaucho, are you a dba?
[01:18] <seattlegaucho> mysql dba
[01:19]  * seattlegaucho was looking for RR further South
[01:19] <androidbruce> RR? 
[01:19] <seattlegaucho> red robin :)
[01:19] <androidbruce> there's one in tacoma 
[01:19] <androidbruce> and federal way 
[01:20] <androidbruce> federal way is in between tacoma and tukwila
[01:20] <seattlegaucho> the one I could go the furthest on a week day is in kent ... unless the federal way and tacoma ones are close to I-5
[01:21] <androidbruce> they're close to I-5
[01:21] <androidbruce> last time we met in Burien, that was sort of in between 
[01:21] <valorie> red robin is so effing noisy
[01:21] <valorie> allll the time
[01:21] <androidbruce> yeah 
[01:21] <seattlegaucho> the Federal Way is right off I-5 ... I can do that one
[01:21] <androidbruce> everyplace is 
[01:21] <androidbruce> we can't HACK at a red robin either 
[01:21] <valorie> I guess
[01:22] <seattlegaucho> right no wifi
[01:22] <valorie> library is quiet, but no beer
[01:22] <seattlegaucho> ... and hacking can be noisy w/ all the chatter
[01:22] <androidbruce> yeah library isn't open late either right? 
[01:22] <valorie> some are open till 10
[01:22] <valorie> it depends
[01:22] <androidbruce> hmm 
[01:22] <seattlegaucho> and phone hotspot would kill my bill
[01:22] <androidbruce> any places we can reserve or rent? 
[01:23] <androidbruce> like vfw types?
[01:23] <valorie> actually, there is a library in southcenter
[01:23] <valorie> let me see if they allow food
[01:23] <valorie> because food and drink would be ok, even without beer, right?
[01:23] <androidbruce> yeah 
[01:23] <androidbruce> better than nowhere 
[01:23] <seattlegaucho> some King County libraries have 'event rooms'
[01:23] <valorie> food, drink, wifi, and our own room
[01:24] <androidbruce> yeah it will be alcohol free, but that's not always bad 
[01:24] <androidbruce> we could go to a "bar" afterwards if we wanted 
[01:24] <valorie> open till 9
[01:25] <androidbruce> what day did we want to do?
[01:25] <seattlegaucho> 6:30 to 8:30 to leave room and not rush it?
[01:25] <seattlegaucho> does the release have a set date?
[01:25] <androidbruce> which day again?
[01:25] <androidbruce> im not sure 
[01:25] <androidbruce> was it in october or nov?
[01:26] <valorie> mmm, southcenter has no room
[01:26] <valorie> valley view does, though
[01:27] <seattlegaucho> it would have to be the weeks of the 17th or 24th ... release date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule
[01:27] <seattlegaucho> is a Thu
[01:27] <valorie> 13 Oct. is the day
[01:27] <seattlegaucho> which is Thu
[01:27] <androidbruce> ohh shoot i need to check my schedule i have a concert in october 
[01:28] <seattlegaucho> ... and I wouldn't do it on a Fri or the actual release day
[01:28] <seattlegaucho> ... or weekend
[01:28] <androidbruce> not on a weekend?
[01:28] <androidbruce> oct 12th is the concert
[01:28] <androidbruce> so im goooood
[01:29] <valorie> it's available on the 13th
[01:29] <androidbruce> valorie, if you reserve and we decide something else, no big deal eh?
[01:30] <valorie> exactly, I'
[01:30] <valorie> ll reserve it now
[01:30] <androidbruce> ok word 
[01:30] <seattlegaucho> cool!
[01:30] <androidbruce> valley?
[01:30] <seattlegaucho> gotta go ... pls post it to the email list and loco wiki
[01:31]  * seattlegaucho runs to get his bus
[01:36] <valorie> ok, scheduled
[01:40] <androidbruce> coolio 
[01:40] <androidbruce> do you know if they have wifi?
[01:40] <valorie> yes, that's standard
[01:40] <androidbruce> ok cool 
[01:40] <valorie> it rather sucks sometimes
[01:40] <valorie> but we'll deal
[01:40] <androidbruce> i haven't spent anytime in a library 
[01:40] <androidbruce> we can rip some hardwire spots 
[01:40] <valorie> for shame
[01:41] <valorie> lol
[04:08] <bkerensa> man Canonical was fast approving the puppetconf conf pack I requested 
[04:09] <bkerensa> =o I requested last night after 7pm and they shipped this morning
[04:18] <valorie> wow
[04:18] <valorie> that's awesome
[04:20] <bkerensa> yeah
[04:20] <bkerensa> Now we will have some media to give out
[04:23] <valorie> I hope thefinn catches whatever you have, and passes it along
[04:23] <valorie> we need some more juice up here
[04:23] <valorie> we do have a release party planned: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-washington/1260/detail/
[04:25] <bkerensa> sweet
[04:26] <bkerensa> WA/OR both need to get approved
[04:26] <bkerensa> I'm aiming for right after release party to apply for loco approval and my own membership
[04:27] <bkerensa> nobody is really giving me much guidance on when to apply? I have been contributing for over a year... The only perk to me is the @ubuntu.com e-mail alias for loco e-mails
[04:34] <valorie> well, start your wiki page
[04:34] <valorie> get some cool stuff on it, including recommendations
[04:35] <valorie> then just schedule yourself in one of the board meetings
[04:35] <valorie> where ever you are most active
[04:35] <valorie> bugsquad can do it I think
[04:35] <bkerensa> I did :) You have me a testomonial and finn did and markdude said he was going to but I think he got sidetracked :P
[04:35] <valorie> American board can do it
[04:36] <bkerensa> Thats the problem.... I'm spread out between IRC/Bugs/Forums and doing our LoCo
[04:36] <bkerensa> :D
[04:36] <bkerensa> so I figured Americas
[04:36] <valorie> you can even do it with IRC, Forum council
[04:36] <valorie> or
[04:36] <valorie> not sure bugs has a council, 
[04:36] <valorie> come to think of it
[04:37] <valorie> if you aren't an IRC op, I wouldn't ask them
[04:37] <bkerensa> yeah
[04:37] <valorie> if you have lots of forum answers, that will work
[04:37] <valorie> or the American board
[04:37] <bkerensa> Yeah I will probably do Americas
[04:38] <valorie> basically, you just add yourself to the wiki page for the next meeting
[04:38] <valorie> and show up
[04:39] <valorie> I did it through the Kubuntu Council
[04:39] <valorie> so I'm both a Kubuntu Member and ubuntu Member
[04:39] <valorie> :-)
[04:39] <valorie> sec
[04:41] <valorie> there really isn't much guidance besides your own feelings that you want it now
[04:41] <valorie> and are planning to be around for awhile
[04:44] <bkerensa> yeah
[04:44] <bkerensa> What kind of stuff do they ask? Whats the meeting like
[04:54] <valorie> look up some meeting logs
[04:54] <valorie> they basically look at what's on your page and ask you about what's there
[04:54] <valorie> oh, the more pictures, the better
[04:54]  * valorie had none
[04:55] <valorie> pictures of events and such that you organized
[04:55] <valorie> not just random bling, of course
[04:55] <valorie> same for team approval
[04:59] <bkerensa> valorie: So this might not be a winning photo for approval? http://bit.ly/n3hpPj
[04:59]  * bkerensa smirks
[04:59] <bkerensa> that was just for show I wasn't really doing that :P
[05:07] <valorie> lol
[05:11] <bkerensa> I actually barely drink a couple sips and ended up leaving the MediaTemple party to talk with Gareth Greenway (August cover of LJ)
[05:11] <bkerensa> then went home and slept :P
[05:16]  * valorie didn't party much this year
[05:16] <valorie> not at OSCON, not in Berlin
[05:17] <valorie> had a great time anyway
[19:46] <bkerensa> wow.... Someone is maybe coming from Seattle to our global jam
[20:52] <valorie> awesome!
[20:52] <valorie> I wish I could come
[20:52] <valorie> any other weekend.....
