| dscassel | hey txwikinger :) | 23:03 |
| dscassel | Feel free to introduce yourselves. | 23:03 |
| dscassel | I'm Darcy, LoCo Contact for Ubuntu Canada and I'll be chairing the meeting today. | 23:03 |
| genii-around | I'm Mike, from Toronto | 23:04 |
| BobJonkman | Hi all! I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira ON, just north of Waterloo - Ubuntu Enthusiast | 23:04 |
| dscassel | (If anybody else wants to chair future meetings, I'm looking for new volunteers. It's pretty easy, but I need to start delegating more. :) | 23:05 |
| dscassel | Hi BobJonkman, genii-around :) | 23:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Doug from Surrey (vancouver) | 23:06 |
| * genii-around slides DarwinSurvivor a coffee | 23:07 | |
| dscassel | Welcome to the meeting, DarwinSurvivor :) | 23:08 |
| dscassel | That's everybody? | 23:08 |
| genii-around | Seems so | 23:09 |
| dscassel | Release parties! | 23:09 |
| dscassel | I guess we've just got the two. | 23:10 |
| genii-around | dscassel: -qc is not having one? | 23:10 |
| dscassel | I'll be throwing one Saturday, October 15 at Kwartzlab in Kitchener. | 23:10 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Probably! | 23:10 |
| dscassel | MagicFab: Are you guys hosting a release party? We should get it in our calendar. | 23:11 |
| genii-around | The Toronto party is on release day, October 13 | 23:11 |
| dscassel | Vancouver's probably doing one too, but they're usually much later after release. | 23:11 |
| BobJonkman | Toronto apparently has one next Thursday | 23:11 |
| * BobJonkman needs to read faster and type slower | 23:12 | |
| dscassel | (Quebec and Vancouver are independent of Ubuntu Canada, but it's nice to know what's going on) | 23:12 |
| willwh | HI GUYS | 23:13 |
| willwh | late to the party as usual ;) | 23:13 |
| dscassel | Hi, willwh :D | 23:13 |
| * genii-around slides willwh a beverage of their choice | 23:13 | |
| willwh | you know fine well it's coffee ;D | 23:13 |
| genii-around | Hehe | 23:13 |
| * willwh sips | 23:13 | |
| dscassel | DarwinSurvivor: Have you ever been to Ubuntu Vancouver's parties? | 23:13 |
| * bregma shows up fashionable late and dressed in black | 23:14 | |
| bregma | hey all | 23:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | dscassel: haven't been to any of there stuff in person | 23:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | just constributed virtually a bit | 23:14 |
| willwh | oi bregma :) | 23:15 |
| willwh | I'm just running through the agenda notes, brb | 23:15 |
| dscassel | bregma: Ever considered running a release party? :D | 23:15 |
| bregma | I live in the back woods, I can party by myself but.... | 23:15 |
| willwh | I live in Victoria, and I should probably run one | 23:16 |
| bregma | maybe get my daughter's boyfriend from up the line, he run Ubuntu | 23:16 |
| dscassel | DarwinSurvivor: Cool. They're pretty enthusiastic about their parties. | 23:16 |
| IdleOne | dscassel: cyphermox is handling arrangements for the -qc release and I believe he will announce an "official" date tomorrow. | 23:16 |
| dscassel | IdleOne: Excellent. :D | 23:17 |
| genii-around | bregma: Blueskaj is up around Espanola, he might go | 23:17 |
| dscassel | willwh: Yes. Yes you should. | 23:17 |
| willwh | life is so busy atm - work, contract work, 3 month old... ;) | 23:17 |
| willwh | I will see what I can do | 23:17 |
| dscassel | Babies. Yeah. | 23:17 |
| genii-around | bregma: ( assuming Ontario, sorry if not ) | 23:18 |
| willwh | I do have the perfect venue; http://moonunderwater.ca | 23:18 |
| willwh | I know the owners well :) | 23:18 |
| genii-around | Cool. | 23:18 |
| dscassel | willwh: Do it! :D | 23:18 |
| dscassel | Corey and Brian Burger are in Victoria. You should invite them. | 23:19 |
| willwh | funnny oyu mentioned that - I just IM'd corey | 23:19 |
| willwh | he's probably stuck in a tree, or, mapping something, and very afk. | 23:19 |
| dscassel | Heh. | 23:19 |
| BobJonkman | Post URP announcements on the mailing list too, and make sure to get them on the Ubuntu calendar | 23:20 |
| willwh | I will - as soon as I confirm with Moon. | 23:21 |
| dscassel | Yeah, getting them up on the LoCo directory is nice, but I can do that if details are posted to the mailing list. | 23:21 |
| willwh | great dscassel. | 23:21 |
| BobJonkman | psema4 and I never did have our September Ubuntu Hour; I should ask him about turning into a URP in Hamilton | 23:22 |
| genii-around | Confirmations from LoCo directory are way down for me from last year. One "openiduser" with a guest or two possibly. | 23:22 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: That'd be awesome. | 23:22 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Nobody every RSVPs for me. Except BobJonkman and txwikinger of course. | 23:23 |
| BobJonkman | It'll be at least a week after the KW URP, maybe I can scoop some laser CDs ? | 23:23 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Sure. | 23:23 |
| BobJonkman | Yay! | 23:23 |
| dscassel | I don't have an ocelot design yet. Holly may get her 11th grade art class to make one. ^^; | 23:24 |
| genii-around | dscassel: I still have 8-10 official Natty remaining from when you were down last, I'm putting those on display as well. I'm not going to make a lot of new ones this time, got stuck with them, ended up putting them liberally on the corkboards and flyer counters around neighbourhood. | 23:26 |
| genii-around | Probably make them on the fly this time | 23:26 |
| * starcraftman comes back to life after a long public transit ride. | 23:27 | |
| * genii-around slides starcraftman a coffee | 23:27 | |
| dscassel | genii-around: Yeah, makes sense. | 23:28 |
| * starcraftman hopes its strong. | 23:28 | |
| genii-around | starcraftman: Yes :) | 23:29 |
| dscassel | My todo is list is: design and print CD labels (need to start soon, since they take a while to print), order cake. | 23:29 |
| dscassel | I don't have time for posters, I don't think. | 23:29 |
| BobJonkman | I'm not sure anyone ever comes because of a poster. | 23:30 |
| BobJonkman | But they make good reminders for people who were planning on coming anyway | 23:30 |
| genii-around | dscassel: I wanted to use this pic for cd art: http://fr3ak.deviantart.com/art/ocelot-76784799 but the artist has not gotten back to me yet about using it | 23:31 |
| dscassel | I need to send out reminders to the usual mailing lists too. | 23:31 |
| dscassel | genii-around: That's awesome. | 23:31 |
| dscassel | I'd have to test it to see how it turns out in lightscribe. | 23:31 |
| genii-around | I'll bug him again soon | 23:32 |
| starcraftman | genii-around: damn, now that's some cool stuff. Can you ask him to put it forward for Ubuntu wallpaper, now that's something to get people interested! | 23:32 |
| dscassel | Also, local reddits. Kwartzlab got some good uptake from using the waterloo reddit to publicize stuff. | 23:34 |
| dscassel | I'll need to post a blog post announcement too. | 23:34 |
| starcraftman | dscassel: proven fact, anyone nerdy enough to use Linux has to be on reddit :) | 23:35 |
| dscassel | starcraftman: I'm not, but as generalizations go, probably accurate enough. :) | 23:36 |
| starcraftman | dscassel: ya, I guess reddit has gotten a bit less popular among techies, not like back when everyone migrated from digg. Feels weird hasn't been a new site like that to replace reddit yet. | 23:37 |
| * BobJonkman is a non-reddit, non-digg luddite | 23:37 | |
| dscassel | I think a lot of UW students use the local reddit. | 23:37 |
| genii-around | Sorry for lag, since I'm still here at work late, someone came by I had to talk to. 1 minute please | 23:37 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Sure. | 23:38 |
| * dscassel is periodically distracted by people here at Kwartzlab open night. | 23:38 | |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Do you have any free cycles over the next week? Can I offload any of my TODO list on you? | 23:38 |
| genii-around | starcraftman: I'll put it in my next message to him | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman | Busy every night into the weekend; next week should be somewhat better | 23:39 |
| * starcraftman has little to no time, full course load and interviews for coop. Sorry. :/ | 23:39 | |
| BobJonkman | Send me your list, I'll cherry-pick the most lucrative deals | 23:39 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Sure. :) | 23:40 |
| willwh | starcraftman: news.ycombinator.com && slashdot.org - what else do you need? | 23:41 |
| willwh | follow the folk you like on g+ ;] | 23:41 |
| starcraftman | willwh: no thanks on g+, google knows enough without me just giving them my personal data. | 23:42 |
| genii-around | dscassel: I never heard back if the Toronto video feed last time was good/bad/etc. Since it was something experimental I was wondering whether to repeat or not. Since the parties are all different days maybe not this time though. | 23:42 |
| dscassel | genii-around: I checked in a couple times. Cool idea, but I couldn't make out much of what was going on. | 23:43 |
| dscassel | genii-around: I've got a Kwartzlab board meeting next Thurs. so I can't really check on it this time. | 23:44 |
| genii-around | Yeah that room is dimly lit and we didn't really have some focal point like speakers or displays, etc. Maybe for next LTS | 23:45 |
| dscassel | Any other thoughts on release parties? | 23:47 |
| dscassel | Okay.. FSOSS! | 23:48 |
| genii-around | You need help with booth or so on? | 23:49 |
| dscassel | If you're in Toronto or vicinity, you should seriously consider coming to the Free Software and Open Source Symposium slash Toronto Linuxfest October 27-29 | 23:49 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Apparently you need to pay for booths so we're not getting one. | 23:49 |
| genii-around | Ah, OK. I think the FreeGeek gang is down there already | 23:50 |
| dscassel | *grumble* | 23:50 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Yeah, I heard this from Sammy. | 23:50 |
| rugbeeprop | hello | 23:50 |
| dscassel | I'm hoping I'll have CDs in time. Although I'm not going to blow my whole shipment on them. | 23:50 |
| * genii-around slides rugbeeprop a coffee | 23:50 | |
| dscassel | rugbeeprop: Hi! Welcome the the Ubuntu Canada IRC meeting. Where you from? | 23:50 |
| * starcraftman wish they held more linux events like FSOSS in montrealish area. | 23:51 | |
| dscassel | genii-around: Otherwise I'd order a conference pack. | 23:51 |
| rugbeeprop | hi Darcy, Tek here, Oshawa | 23:51 |
| dscassel | starcraftman: I wish they had more stuff like this in Toronto too. :) | 23:51 |
| * BobJonkman is sad that FSOSS/Linuxfest conflicts severely with unmissable family obligations | 23:52 | |
| dscassel | I've skipped FSOSS in the past, mostly because it's a "symposium" | 23:52 |
| dscassel | rugbeeprop: Hey, Tek! | 23:52 |
| dscassel | How do you feel about running a release party in Oshawa? :D | 23:52 |
| rugbeeprop | lol | 23:52 |
| starcraftman | dscassel: but symposiums are epic, they were on Futurama! | 23:52 |
| rugbeeprop | great... who is organising it? | 23:52 |
| dscassel | rugbeeprop: Although genii-around will be hosting one in Toronto if you'd rather commute. | 23:53 |
| genii-around | Or failing Oshawa release party, coming to Toronto! | 23:53 |
| dscassel | rugbeeprop: That'd be you. :) | 23:53 |
| rugbeeprop | lol who else is from around Durham region? | 23:53 |
| dscassel | rugbeeprop: I'm sure I've heard of someone else, but nobody on my list. | 23:54 |
| * dscassel keeps a list | 23:54 | |
| genii-around | dscassel: I'll get in touch with the FreeGeek guys and try to coordinate | 23:54 |
| rugbeeprop | what does it involved? I have never been to any release party before | 23:55 |
| genii-around | I might also be able to raise a few Toronto FreeNet people | 23:55 |
| dscassel | genii-around: That'd be cool. I'll need to know ASAP if I should order a conference pack. | 23:56 |
| genii-around | OK | 23:56 |
| dscassel | (brokerage fees cost a bunch of money, so I'd prefer not to if there's no use for it) | 23:56 |
| BobJonkman | What's in a conference pack? | 23:57 |
| BobJonkman | If we're slowing down, I just want to mention @chaslinux's Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener on Friday. | 23:58 |
| dscassel | http://www.lczajkowski.com/2010/08/24/new-conference-packs-for-loco-teams/ | 23:59 |
| dscassel | (sorry, got distracted by Kwartzlab people) | 23:59 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Great! Of course, I'll be out of town. Again. | 23:59 |
