[00:22] gah [00:22] :( loco.ubuntu.com is not letting me add a venue [01:57] hey [01:58] ya [01:59] woo, my dinner plans were canceled so I am here for the meeting [01:59] Darkwing: you around to chair? [02:01] here! [02:01] Hooray less splendid dinner entertainment! [02:02] jyo: hehe [02:02] actually meant I could stay at the social longer, where they had free beer and comcastinis ;) [02:02] "here" (as opposed to "there" as I was during the past two meetings) [02:04] meeting? ok... [02:04] :) [02:05] No, we're all standing around waiting for new smartphones. Of course there's a meeting! [02:05] ok, well it's 5 after so I guess I'll chair [02:05] #startmeeting [02:05] Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11October09 [02:06] new smartphones running ubuntu would be nice [02:06] [TOPIC] California Team Leadership Elections [02:06] anyone else here play bf3? [02:06] we have 2 already [02:06] so Darkwing posted this late last month: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2011-September/001819.html [02:07] the leadership terms of our current leaders expire this month, so we're looking for more folks to step up and help with leadership [02:08] so mostly this is just a reminder :) [02:08] [TOPIC] Oneiric Release. Parties anyone? [02:08] we need a Ubuntu cake if there is a party [02:09] will there be live ocelots? [02:09] the release of 11.10 is on Thursday and so far we don't have any parties registered in the loco directory or announced anywhere [02:09] yes [02:09] philipballew: do you have a venue? [02:10] pleia2, 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 party [02:10] philipballew: cool :) [02:10] but I would not do a weekday myself [02:10] hope thats cool with everyone [02:10] I can't help with anything in San Francisco this week because I'm out of town (in Philadelphia right now, it's after 10PM!) [02:11] instead I'm giving an 11.10 talk at a lug out here, and going to the philly release party ;) [02:11] Why is there a counter that says release in 8 days? [02:12] nice pleia2 ! you give good talks [02:12] eps: what counter? this is the official one: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/countdown [02:12] its this Thursday? [02:12] philipballew: yep [02:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OneiricRelease [02:13] eps: oh I see (was taking a while to load, bad wifi...) [02:13] wow, time come by fast. They pushed it out faster this year I think [02:13] lookethanks, I'll submit a bug report [02:15] I updated to 11.10 yesterday. unity works better. [02:15] though all the hacks I did to it, now have to be re-done [02:15] anyone else have anything to add about release parties or release events? [02:15] We should have some. :-) [02:16] i still need to update to 11.04 [02:16] eps: can you lead up something in the bay area? [02:17] Do we have anyone else? [02:17] grantbow and I usually do stuff, but we're both out of town, so we're a bit short on people to organize [02:17] i second the motion to draft eps for the release party leadership [02:17] If there is any meeting in ca, it would need to be done asap so a email can get put out [02:18] philipballew: agreed [02:18] I don't think I have enough lead time to put something together *and* get the word out. [02:18] we can always make it in 2 weeks [02:19] yeah, we can do something later in the month [02:19] say that we pushed it out later so everyone could upgrade first [02:19] it doesn't have to be _on_ release day [02:19] we've done installfests a couple weeks after release before [02:19] And that does give time to replicate discs, etc. [02:19] a thursday party would not be the best attendance probably. but i dont know much [02:20] Wow. Sorry guys [02:20] Got caught up with the kids. [02:20] well I'll send a follow-up email to the list reminding people that they can plan things later out of they're busy this week [02:20] hey Darkwing [02:21] [TOPIC] Announcements, etc [02:21] anyone else have anything before we wrap up? [02:23] Ubuntu Hours, perhaps? [02:24] no SF ubuntu hour this month (since I'm traveling so much, and no one else has planned one) [02:24] Darkwing, philipballew, are the San Diego ubuntu hours going to keep happening? [02:24] Are [02:24] Yes rather. [02:24] We are scheduled for twice a month. First and third tuesdays [02:26] are 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] Darkwing, 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 come [02:26] unfortunately 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 :\ [02:27] Oh, 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] can you remove it from the loco directory and make an announcement? [02:27] Yup. [02:28] yeah, i'm gonna do some hour advertising in the next few weeks [02:29] philipballew: can you commit to attending? [02:30] Yes, 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] also for the hour, I'm gonna need some 11.10 cd's [02:30] ok, great :) [02:30] we've already put in our request for them, hopefully they'll get here before I leave for DUS [02:30] UDS [02:30] pleia2: [02:30] pleia2: Got a question you might be able to help with :D [02:31] bkerensa: we're just wrapping up a meeting, can it wait a couple minutes? [02:31] oh sure (my bad) [02:31] ok, you can send them to me or Darkwing , doesnt matter [02:31] I'll announce it when I receive them, so you guys can work out who I should ship them to :) [02:32] sounds good with me [02:32] ok, anything else before we finish? [02:34] alright, thanks everyone :) [02:34] #endmeeting [02:35] bkerensa: what's up? [02:35] pleia2: I'm trying to block Bittorrent on a network I maintain.... We got a DMCA forward from Comcast/Fox [02:35] :) [02:35] Do you think blocking 1024-65534 will work? [02:35] * philipballew high fives bkerensa !!! [02:36] bkerensa: I'm really not familiar with how bittorrent works [02:36] hi philipballew :) [02:36] when we restrict networks we restrict everything and just allow things ;) [02:36] pleia2: Oh ok :) well it uses random high ports [02:36] you can do things like block download of .torrent files I know and [02:37] stuff [02:37] Set up deep packet inspection? :P [02:37] bkerensa: 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] pleia2: 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 me [02:37] pleia2: kk [02:37] philipballew: that only solves part of the problem and requires a whole content filtering system to be set up :\ [02:38] pleia2: I was only going to block it for .30 to .254 and all our office and trusted systems use < .30 [02:38] bkerensa: *nod* [02:38] Btw [02:38] Got a call on Saturday to troubleshoot for a guest [02:38] :( [02:38] he was running AOL 5.0 [02:38] that's still a thing? [02:39] uhh LOL I had no idea [02:39] I thought they shut it down and AOL just had sites [02:39] yeah, crazy [02:39] I was like Waaa waa wee waaa =o [02:39] hehe [02:40] did you get your loco directory situation sorted? [02:41] my 85 year old grandma is on aol 8.0 [02:42] brb, messing with internets [02:44] pleia2: Yep [05:05] :p [05:20] Thugnificent, wins for best nick in channel, imho [05:21] MarkDude: Hey, it's Algo [05:21] Hello Algo [06:58] wow [06:59] MarkDude: PLUG's mailing list just had a epic battle [06:59] =o [07:00] Rms? [07:00] Or Mark S? [07:03] MarkDude: Worse [07:03] :( [07:03] MarkDude: Ill PM [20:42] quiet today [20:46] indeed [21:55] shh [21:56] the documentation for ubuntu cloud stuff is pretty awful :( [21:57] I have spent 40 minutes trying to sort it out, so many broken links, half explanations and buzzwords [21:57] Women in Technology rock [21:57] tempted to make my slide on the subject say "cloud.ubuntu.com, good luck" [21:58] just saying... Had a awesome experience with a Amazon AWS woman :) [22:01] ha [22:02] pleia2: technical writing is hard work and also boring. [22:05] nhaines: indeed [22:06] I think mostly they don't realize they are communicating poorly [22:14] So Chris was at an OSCON party, and just kept thinking [22:14] its after 9pm, lets not talk about the cloud- that is daytime stuff- when my brain is more up for it [22:15] pleia2, on that slide- just have a pic of jono with a confused look- I have a few for you [22:15] :D [22:16] pleia2: 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 writing [22:20] that, or practicing your explanations on 5 year olds :P [22:20] http://xkcd.com/722/ [22:24] MarkDude: Speaking of Cloud.... I'm deploying one right now [22:24] ;) [22:25] Most computer users are not as smart as most 5 year olds I know [22:27] MarkDude: Indeed. [22:31] Yay, ML admin duties [22:32] glad I cleared out 20+ spam messages [22:32] not one was real
