| nathwill | hi c_smith | 17:00 |
| c_smith | nathwill, have you seen the post on OMG! Ubuntu about Netflix? | 17:00 |
| nathwill | noooo | 17:01 |
| c_smith | there's a Linux client in the works that is set to be released in the next year or so. info is thanks to bkerensa. | 17:01 |
| nathwill | ha. courtesy of bkerensa | 17:01 |
| nathwill | nice | 17:01 |
| c_smith | yep | 17:01 |
| c_smith | this might be one thing I would use almost as much as games! XD | 17:02 |
| c_smith | hopefully it's before the 2012 catastrophy that I think is just people overreacting to the end of the Mayan calandar | 17:04 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/native-netflix-client-coming-linux-in-12-months/ | 17:20 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 17:20 |
| bkerensa | oh | 17:20 |
| bkerensa | it was already discussed | 17:20 |
| * bkerensa just noticed it | 17:21 | |
| bkerensa | lol | 17:21 |
| bkerensa | well off to a meeting | 17:21 |
| c_smith | haha. nice, gl! :D | 17:21 |
| === nathan_w is now known as nathwill | ||
| c_smith | bkerensa, is there a set date for the IRC meeting that was postponed? | 19:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Not yet however I'm thinking it might be good just to roll it into this months since there were not any super important items I had and nobody sent me any agenda items | 19:52 |
| c_smith | okay, that works. | 19:52 |
| bkerensa | I'm hoping to have a solid weekend date for our release party soon though I have to make a call on wednesday | 19:52 |
| bkerensa | it will likely be a Saturday two weeks after the 13th | 19:52 |
| c_smith | cool, I'll be looking forward to that. | 19:53 |
| bkerensa | Notably.... I think we might livestream the release party | 19:53 |
| c_smith | that would be awesome. | 19:53 |
| c_smith | either way, I'm still going to try to make it up there. | 19:53 |
| bkerensa | Cool | 19:53 |
| c_smith | likely going to be using Kubuntu, though! ;) | 19:54 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Also like I have said I encourage you and tgm4883 and a number of the other Salem Area people to maybe setup some Ubuntu Hours | 19:54 |
| bkerensa | You can also reach out to the Salem LUG people.... | 19:54 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: I plan to be in Salem in November for a few days and was even thinking we could do a Ubuntu Hour and grab lunch if all pans out properly | 19:55 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, ok, I'll try to get that set up, but with the only transportation I have freely being the Cherriots buses, I'll have to see if I can get it to be on a weekday because the bus system doesn't run on weekends. | 19:56 |
| c_smith | the other modes of transportation I have are subject to change at any time, because I don't pay them, and I live with them | 19:57 |
| c_smith | but I prefer buses anyway! :P | 19:57 |
| Brian_H | bkerensa: so is the release party still during the week or did it get moved to sat/sun? | 20:10 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, if I were to have an Ubuntu Hour here in Salem every Wednesday (given I don't have plans which is unlikely) would that be a good day? like I said, Weekdays which I am not in school are best for me, and I ask this because this might be a problem for other member, it would likely be in the evening. I already have a coffee shop contacted for hanging out, it'd be another quick call if I needed to let them know this was happening | 20:11 |
| c_smith | holy great wall of text, batman! :P | 20:11 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: It will be on a weekend likely the 22nd.... It wont be at PuppetLabs since they have people using their space but I'm hoping that I can finalize an arrangement with Backspace in Portland on Wednesday | 20:11 |
| Brian_H | sweet! I can come then :D | 20:12 |
| Brian_H | I'll put it on my calendar | 20:12 |
| c_smith | It's likely I could come then, too, but that's subject to change like anything else. | 20:12 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: If that works for you sure... Make an effort to kickstart some stuff in Salem and you can always tweak days and times to best suit the people who attend. | 20:12 |
| bkerensa | Oh and notably I'm sorry I was unable to do the meeting (I kinda had a date weekend with my fiancee from Friday till Sunday) in fact I rarely used the net or checked my e-mail ;) | 20:13 |
| c_smith | true, who could I contact to help kick off this? I may start this this coming Wednesday, but not sure/. | 20:14 |
| c_smith | heh, I remember getting that email, Mailing list ftw! | 20:14 |
| c_smith | good thing I have my Hotmail account forwarding to my Gmail. | 20:14 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, is there anyone I could contact to help give the Salem area Ubuntu hour? | 20:16 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: I would send a e-mail proposing your idea to the mailing list... and additionally "ethan" who pops in this channel from time to time is trying to revive Salem LUG (Linux Users Group) | 20:16 |
| c_smith | cool, | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | Notably, Ubuntu Hours are informal social events where local users of Ubuntu and other distros can get together and socialize and talk linux | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | so you dont have to cater or anything | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | you could likely even meet at a Library or something | 20:17 |
| c_smith | the Ubuntu Hour wiki page calls for a Piece of clothing with the Ubuntu logo, would that Oregon Global Jam shirt count? | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | indeed | 20:18 |
| c_smith | heh, not sure how the library would work, but I'll call them about this in a bit. | 20:18 |
| c_smith | cool, | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | We donated $0.50 on your behalf to: | 20:19 |
| bkerensa | Boys & Girls Club of America. | 20:19 |
| bkerensa | =o | 20:19 |
| c_smith | lol | 20:19 |
| c_smith | that's a good cause. but did they ask your permission? | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: My server is getting epic traffic | 20:20 |
| c_smith | is that good or bad? | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: I selected that charity... Its through the SurveyMonkey Contribute program | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Good | 20:21 |
| c_smith | ah, ok | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: OMG Ubuntu, cNet, lilputting, iheartubuntu and TechRepublic | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | all sending me so much traffic | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:21 |
| c_smith | also, is Ethan subscribed to the Mailing List? | 20:22 |
| c_smith | I'd believe so, but not sure. | 20:22 |
| bkerensa | Yeah I think he is | 20:23 |
| c_smith | cool, I'll put the Salem LUG proposal in the same message to him. | 20:23 |
| c_smith | or should I make that a seperate message? | 20:24 |
| bkerensa | yeah same is fine | 20:24 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:24 |
| bkerensa | Looks like Ubuntu Oregon is in the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter today too | 20:24 |
| bkerensa | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue235 | 20:24 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:24 |
| c_smith | cool | 20:24 |
| c_smith | and that we're in the weekly newsletter is awesome! :D | 20:25 |

| bkerensa | Brian_H: Do you listen to any podcasts? | 20:34 |
| Brian_H | havent recently; why do you have any pro ones for me ? :) | 20:35 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 20:35 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: Nah but I got a iPhone so I figured I might subscribe to one so I can have something to do when I'm on the bus | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | News is getting kinda boring... Just a lot of bickering about the economy and congress :P | 20:36 |
| Brian_H | heck yea I can understand that | 20:39 |
| Brian_H | luckily my house isn't that far :) | 20:39 |
| Brian_H | and most the time I ride the bike, but that will probably come to an end seeing as the rain is coming :( | 20:40 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 20:40 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:40 |
| bkerensa | Yeah... Rain is bad... For months last year the sidewalks out here were frosted to the point it was like ice skating | 20:41 |
| Brian_H | beats the 100+ ft of snow they got back home in Indiana though lol | 20:42 |
| Brian_H | er inches | 20:42 |
| Brian_H | lol | 20:42 |
| Brian_H | not ft | 20:42 |
| Brian_H | was reading something else and trying to type hahaa | 20:42 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 20:44 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: Do you guys ever visit Indiana? | 20:44 |
| Brian_H | Yea I will be on 11/11 :) | 20:44 |
| Brian_H | for my infamous year parties | 20:44 |

| Brian_H | so its time | 20:44 |
| bkerensa | What part of Indiana are you from? I only know of Gary | 20:45 |
| Brian_H | east of Gary about 70 miles | 20:45 |

| c_smith | now I'm off to test something in the Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 Iso. so I'm out for a bit, not reinstalling, just testing something | 20:48 |
| Brian_H | Bethleham steel was there and when it went under so did a lot of nothern Indiana | 20:49 |
| Brian_H | Gary and South Bend used to be pretty nice places till the jobs went away | 20:49 |

| Brian_H | The Studebaker plant was there | 20:50 |
| Brian_H | in SB | 20:50 |
| c_smith | and the test tells me what I need to know, the Amarok bug with Ipod Nano 5G is fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 | 21:48 |
