jyoHooray less splendid dinner entertainment!02:01
pleia2jyo: hehe02:02

eps"here" (as opposed to "there" as I was during the past two meetings)02:02
Faqtotummeeting? ok...02:04
Mark_:)02:04
epsNo, we're all standing around waiting for new smartphones. Of course there's a meeting!02:05

pleia2Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11October0902:05
Faqtotumnew smartphones running ubuntu would be nice02:06
pleia2[TOPIC] California Team Leadership Elections02:06
Mark_anyone else here play bf3?02:06
philipballewwe have 2 already02:06
pleia2so Darkwing posted this late last month: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2011-September/001819.html02:06
pleia2the leadership terms of our current leaders expire this month, so we're looking for more folks to step up and help with leadership02:07
pleia2so mostly this is just a reminder :)02:08
pleia2[TOPIC] Oneiric Release. Parties anyone?02:08
philipballewwe need a Ubuntu cake if there is a party02:08
Faqtotumwill there be live ocelots?02:09
pleia2the release of 11.10 is on Thursday and so far we don't have any parties registered in the loco directory or announced anywhere02:09
Mark_yes02:09
pleia2philipballew: do you have a venue?02:09
philipballewpleia2, I can probably convince Darkwing to do a Friday night release party at the place we do our ubuntu hours at. so yes. there is a very good likelyhood of a party02:10
pleia2philipballew: cool :)02:10
philipballewbut I would not do a weekday myself02:10
philipballewhope thats cool with everyone02:10
pleia2I can't help with anything in San Francisco this week because I'm out of town (in Philadelphia right now, it's after 10PM!)02:10
pleia2instead I'm giving an 11.10 talk at a lug out here, and going to the philly release party ;)02:11
epsWhy is there a counter that says release in 8 days?02:11
philipballewnice pleia2 ! you give good talks02:12
pleia2eps: what counter? this is the official one: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/countdown02:12
philipballewits this Thursday?02:12
pleia2philipballew: yep02:12
epshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OneiricRelease02:13
pleia2eps: oh I see (was taking a while to load, bad wifi...)02:13
philipballewwow, time come by fast. They pushed it out faster this year I think02:13
pleia2lookethanks, I'll submit a bug report02:13
philipballewI updated to 11.10 yesterday. unity works better.02:15
philipballewthough all the hacks I did to it, now have to be re-done02:15
pleia2anyone else have anything to add about release parties or release events?02:15
epsWe should have some. :-)02:15
Faqtotumi still need to update to 11.0402:16
pleia2eps: can you lead up something in the bay area?02:16
epsDo we have anyone else?02:17
pleia2grantbow and I usually do stuff, but we're both out of town, so we're a bit short on people to organize02:17
Faqtotumi second the motion to draft eps for the release party leadership02:17
philipballewIf there is any meeting in ca, it would need to be done asap so a email can get put out02:17
pleia2philipballew: agreed02:18
epsI don't think I have enough lead time to put something together *and* get the word out.02:18
philipballewwe can always make it in 2 weeks02:18
pleia2yeah, we can do something later in the month02:19
philipballewsay that we pushed it out later so everyone could upgrade first02:19
Faqtotumit doesn't have to be _on_ release day02:19
pleia2we've done installfests a couple weeks after release before02:19
epsAnd that does give time to replicate discs, etc.02:19
philipballewa thursday party would not be the best attendance probably. but i dont know much02:19
DarkwingWow. Sorry guys02:20
DarkwingGot caught up with the kids.02:20
pleia2well I'll send a follow-up email to the list reminding people that they can plan things later out of they're busy this week02:20
pleia2hey Darkwing02:20
pleia2[TOPIC] Announcements, etc02:21
pleia2anyone else have anything before we wrap up?02:21
epsUbuntu Hours, perhaps?02:23
pleia2no SF ubuntu hour this month (since I'm traveling so much, and no one else has planned one)02:24
pleia2Darkwing, philipballew, are the San Diego ubuntu hours going to keep happening?02:24
DarkwingAre02:24
DarkwingYes rather.02:24
DarkwingWe are scheduled for twice a month. First and third tuesdays02:24
pleia2are there plans to add an organizer to each one to make sure that even if one person cancels, the hour still happens or an announcement is made?02:26
philipballewDarkwing, is doing a good thing with them. We have a ubuntu user who owns the coffee shop and its in the downtown area so many people can come02:26
pleia2unfortunately if anyone showed up last time kdub had to leave halfway through so they wouldn't have found anyone there, which reflects poorly on the team :\02:26
DarkwingOh, Libertopia is a no go. I can't afford to foot the bill and bad timing with being kicked out of my apt for termite tenting.02:27
pleia2can you remove it from the loco directory and make an announcement?02:27
DarkwingYup.02:27
philipballewyeah, i'm gonna do some hour advertising in the next few weeks02:28
pleia2philipballew: can you commit to attending?02:29
philipballewYes, I come every time, except I had a history test that next day so I had to study. I will commit, do not worry.02:30
philipballewalso for the hour, I'm gonna need some 11.10 cd's02:30
pleia2ok, great :)02:30
pleia2we've already put in our request for them, hopefully they'll get here before I leave for DUS02:30
pleia2UDS02:30
bkerensapleia2:02:30
bkerensapleia2: Got a question you might be able to help with :D02:30
pleia2bkerensa: we're just wrapping up a meeting, can it wait a couple minutes?02:31
bkerensaoh sure (my bad)02:31
philipballewok, you can send them to me or Darkwing , doesnt matter02:31
pleia2I'll announce it when I receive them, so you guys can work out who I should ship them to :)02:31
philipballewsounds good with me02:32
pleia2ok, anything else before we finish?02:32
pleia2alright, thanks everyone :)02:34
pleia2#endmeeting02:34
pleia2bkerensa: what's up?02:35
bkerensapleia2: I'm trying to block Bittorrent on a network I maintain.... We got a DMCA forward from Comcast/Fox02:35
bkerensa:)02:35
bkerensaDo you think blocking 1024-65534 will work?02:35
* philipballew high fives bkerensa !!!02:35
pleia2bkerensa: I'm really not familiar with how bittorrent works02:36
bkerensahi philipballew :)02:36
pleia2when we restrict networks we restrict everything and just allow things ;)02:36
bkerensapleia2: Oh ok :) well it uses random high ports02:36
philipballewyou can do things like block download of .torrent files I know and02:36
philipballewstuff02:37
jyoSet up deep packet inspection? :P02:37
pleia2bkerensa: yeah, it'll probably be fine, you may need to poke some holes to let out some high port using services if it comes up (mysql is in that range, for instance)02:37
bkerensapleia2: Indeed a good idea ( I do the same on my box) but this is a hotel wifi so there are a lot of legit things I don't wanna block because it just means lots of afterall calls for me02:37
bkerensapleia2: kk02:37
pleia2philipballew: that only solves part of the problem and requires a whole content filtering system to be set up :\02:37
bkerensapleia2: I was only going to block it for .30 to .254 and all our office and trusted systems use < .3002:38
pleia2bkerensa: *nod*02:38
bkerensaBtw02:38
bkerensaGot a call on Saturday to troubleshoot for a guest02:38
bkerensa:(02:38
bkerensahe was running AOL 5.002:38
pleia2that's still a thing?02:38
bkerensauhh LOL I had no idea02:39
bkerensaI thought they shut it down and AOL just had sites02:39
pleia2yeah, crazy02:39

nhainesshh21:55
pleia2the documentation for ubuntu cloud stuff is pretty awful :(21:56
pleia2I have spent 40 minutes trying to sort it out, so many broken links, half explanations and buzzwords21:57
bkerensaWomen in Technology rock21:57
pleia2tempted to make my slide on the subject say "cloud.ubuntu.com, good luck"21:57
bkerensajust saying... Had a awesome experience with a Amazon AWS woman :)21:58
nhainesha22:01
nhainespleia2: technical writing is hard work and also boring.22:02
pleia2nhaines: indeed22:05
pleia2I think mostly they don't realize they are communicating poorly22:06
MarkDudeSo Chris was at an OSCON party, and just kept thinking22:14
MarkDudeits after 9pm, lets not talk about the cloud- that is daytime stuff- when my brain is more up for it22:14
MarkDudepleia2, on that slide- just have a pic of jono with a confused look- I have a few for you22:15
MarkDude:D22:15
nhainespleia2: usually I got tasked with technical writing because I ended up good at it.  Which was flattering but it was still boring.  :)22:16
* MarkDude has found that avoiding technical stuff REALLY helps avoid tech writing22:16
jbermudesthat, or practicing your explanations on 5 year olds :P22:20
nhaineshttp://xkcd.com/722/22:20
bkerensaMarkDude: Speaking of Cloud.... I'm deploying one right now22:24
bkerensa;)22:24
MarkDudeMost computer users are not as smart as most 5 year olds I know22:25
bkerensaMarkDude: Indeed.22:27
MarkDudeYay, ML admin duties22:31
MarkDudeglad I cleared out 20+ spam messages22:32
MarkDudenot one was real22:32
