[02:25] <bkerensa> Hey Guys... Gonna be afkish till tomorrow been busy this weekend.
[16:48] <c_smith> hyello! :D
[17:00] <nathwill> hi c_smith
[17:00] <c_smith> nathwill, have you seen the post on OMG! Ubuntu about Netflix?
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <c_smith> this might be one thing I would use almost as much as games! XD
[17:04] <c_smith> hopefully it's before the 2012 catastrophy that I think is just people overreacting to the end of the Mayan calandar
[17:20] <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
[17:21]  * bkerensa just noticed it
[17:21] <bkerensa> lol
[17:21] <bkerensa> well off to a meeting
[17:21] <c_smith> haha. nice, gl! :D
[19:48] <c_smith> bkerensa, is there a set date for the IRC meeting that was postponed?
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <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....
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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.
[19:57] <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
[20:10] <Brian_H> bkerensa: so is the release party still during the week or did it get moved to sat/sun?
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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.
[20:13] <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 ;)
[20:14] <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.
[20:16] <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)
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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,
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <c_smith> that's a good cause. but did they ask your permission?
[20:20] <bkerensa> c_smith: My server is getting epic traffic
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <c_smith> also, is Ethan subscribed to the Mailing List?
[20:22] <c_smith> I'd believe so, but not sure.
[20:23] <bkerensa> Yeah I think he is
[20:23] <c_smith> cool, I'll put the Salem LUG proposal in the same message to him.
[20:24] <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] <c_smith> cool
[20:25] <c_smith> and that we're in the weekly newsletter is awesome! :D

[20:34] <bkerensa> =/
[20:34] <bkerensa> Brian_H: Do you listen to any podcasts?
[20:35] <Brian_H> havent recently; why do you have any pro ones for me ?  :)
[20:35] <bkerensa> LOL
[20:36] <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
[20:39] <Brian_H> heck yea I can understand that
[20:39] <Brian_H> luckily my house isn't that far :)
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <bkerensa> Yeah... Rain is bad... For months last year the sidewalks out here were frosted to the point it was like ice skating
[20:42] <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
[20:44] <bkerensa> LOL
[20:44] <bkerensa> Brian_H: Do you guys ever visit Indiana?

[20:44] <Brian_H> so its time
[20:45] <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] <Brian_H> South Bend, which is in the northern part of the state
[20:47] <bkerensa> Brian_H: What is Indiana known for? Wisconsin is cheese idk about Indiana
[20:47] <c_smith> Email has been sent.
[20:48] <Brian_H> notre dame, corn, soy beans, and being the arm pit of America
[20:48] <Brian_H> also part of the "rust belt"
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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> then it kinda all went to hell
[20:50] <Brian_H> The Studebaker plant was there
[20:50] <Brian_H> in SB
[21:48] <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
[21:56] <c_smith> *Kubuntu 11.10 not Ubuntu
