[00:39] <philipballew> nhaines, who is doing the future of unity talk?
[00:42] <philipballew> the customizing unity is one i will have to go to
[01:01] <Gareth> nhaines: ping
[01:57] <pleia2> bringing all our shirts down
[01:57]  * pleia2 updated wiki page with numbers
[02:17] <pleia2> and booth page updated :)
[02:34] <bkerensa> =o
[02:34] <bkerensa> I wish I was at Scale
[02:37] <Faqtotum> "were" is more grammatically correct than "was" in this case. subjunctive mode and all...
[02:37] <nhaines> Gareth: pong
[02:38] <nhaines> Man, when a primary computer goes down you sure have to claw your way out of the hole, don't you?  :P
[02:48] <Gareth> nhaines: just touching base...seeing about those final speakers :)  Emailed Ralf earlier....cc;ed you.
[02:49] <Faqtotum> what is it meeting time AGAIN?
[02:50] <pleia2> no, 10 minutes from now :)
[02:50] <Faqtotum> tonight, that is
[02:50] <Faqtotum> seems like only yesterday we had one
[02:51] <pleia2> jtatum sent an email apologizing for running late
[02:52] <nhaines> Gareth: ah, I just saw that.  I think he's the last one?
[02:52] <Gareth> Ralf & Jorge.
[03:00] <pleia2> ok, meeting time :)
[03:00] <pleia2> #startmeeting
[03:00] <pleia2> who all is here for the meeting?
[03:00] <ariley> hete
[03:00] <ariley> r
[03:01]  * eps waves
[03:01] <pleia2> Agenda here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12January15
[03:02] <nhaines> Gareth: thanks, I'll ping Jorge again.
[03:02] <pleia2> first agenda item is from eps
[03:03] <pleia2> Announcement: January 20 is [National] Penguin Awareness Day
[03:03] <pleia2> eps: anything to add? :)
[03:03] <eps> There are penguins. Be aware of them.
[03:04] <pleia2> it's the same day as Ubucon :)
[03:04] <pleia2> so I guess we should just move on to that!
[03:04] <pleia2> SCALE starts on Friday
[03:04] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale10x
[03:04] <pleia2> Darkwing: are you here?
[03:04] <pleia2> eps: I fixed your name
[03:05] <pleia2> so far we have 6 volunteers for the booth, I've forwarded along the code they need to use to register so hopefully everyone has done that
[03:05] <pleia2> I figure we'll play it by ear when it comes to staffing it, but I want to make sure everyone is aware of how important it is to be viligant if you're a staffer
[03:06] <pleia2> we have laptops and a tablet on the table, we don't want any of them walking off when we aren't paying attention :)
[03:06] <pleia2> I'll have my cell on me all day, so if there is ever a time when you absolutely need to leave the booth and no one else is around, give me a call: 610-052-7370 and I'll come
[03:07] <pleia2> err 610-952-7370
[03:07] <eps> security locks are your friends
[03:07] <pleia2> we don't have any, and they are difficult for tablets
[03:08] <pleia2> I've updated the wiki page with a bunch of little misc things that we ended up needing last year - tape, scissors, bungees
[03:08] <eps> They don't have Kensington-compatible security slots?
[03:10] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale10x#Stuff_We_Need is the list of stuff so far
[03:10] <pleia2> if there is other things people can think of, feel free to add them and I'll make sure it gets there
[03:10] <eps> Hand sanitizer?
[03:10] <pleia2> I shipped the CDs to nhaines (thanks again!) so my suitcase won't weigh a metric ton :)
[03:11] <nhaines> The CDs were received and are currently being a traffic hazard in my room, safe and sound.  :)
[03:11] <pleia2> eps: for our booth..?
[03:11] <pleia2> lol
[03:11] <jyo> Hello!
[03:11] <eps> Tablets have touchscreens, no?
[03:11] <pleia2> I will be down at the booth at 8:30AM for setup, I ask that others get there by at least 9AM so we can get everything sorted
[03:12] <pleia2> eps: yeah, but I think hand sanitizer would make it worse :)
[03:12] <nhaines> Mints can be helpful for booth volunteers.  I usually bring Listerine breath strips for myself.
[03:13] <pleia2> nhaines: ah, good idea!
[03:13]  * pleia2 adds hand sanitizer and mints to the list
[03:14] <pleia2> I figure a lot of us will be at Ubucon the evening prior, so it would be nice to get together that Friday evening if you don't have other plans
[03:15] <pleia2> I guess we can sort that out at Ubucon though :)
[03:15] <pleia2> nhaines: anything to add about Ubucon?
[03:15] <nhaines> Lightning talks have been *really* hit or miss.  The first year we had to cut them off early, and last year no one would volunteer.
[03:16] <nhaines> So if anyone will be attending on Friday and wants to be helpful, having a lighting talk topic would be useful.
[03:16] <nhaines> We'll be filming and it'll be a friendly audience of about 30-50 or so, so it's a great way to try out public speaking.
[03:17] <nhaines> That's at 10am.
[03:17] <pleia2> great
[03:18] <pleia2> aside from Ubucon, we have akk speaking during the main scale conference: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/presentations/fun-linux-and-devices
[03:18] <pleia2> yay akk :)
[03:19] <pleia2> I'll also be giving a talk, on saturday at the same time as the keynote about the work that Partimus does: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/presentations/bringing-linux-public-schools-and-community-centers
[03:20] <pleia2> and philipballew is also speaking! http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/presentations/getting-involved-open-source-young-age
[03:20] <pleia2> should be a fun weekend
[03:20] <pleia2> anything else from anyone before we wrap up? announcements?
[03:21] <pleia2> jtatum apologized for running late so he couldn't attend the meeting, but he's hosting an Ubuntu Hour in Mt View on Thursday: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1499/detail/
[03:22] <jyo> hooray for Red Rock.
[03:22] <pleia2> :)
[03:22] <jyo> pleia2: Coming down this month?
[03:22] <pleia2> I'll be on my flight during it
[03:22] <jyo> aah
[03:23] <pleia2> alright, I think that's it then
[03:23] <pleia2> thanks everyone :)

[18:08] <philipballew> pleia2, the meeting last night someone mentioned a laptop lock,  I can provide one if we need one
[23:48] <philipballew> pleia2, that lubuntu laptop im bringing. should it have 12.04 or 11.10?
[23:48] <pleia2> philipballew: 11.10
[23:49] <pleia2> we don't want demos crashing because they're alpha :)
[23:49] <philipballew> good point!
[23:49] <philipballew> 11.10 it is
[23:49] <pleia2> reminds me, maybe I should burn some Xubuntu CDs
[23:50] <pleia2> (in my free time, hahahaha)
[23:52] <philipballew> seriously/ haha
[23:54] <pleia2> my cat is out of surgery for tooth extraction :)
[23:54] <philipballew> nice! is the cat going to be okay?
[23:54]  * pleia2 was so so so worried, all surgery with renal failure kitties s dangerous
[23:55] <pleia2> for now, she'll need a kidney transplant at some point but with every other day fluids and medication she's doing well so far
[23:55]  * pleia2 sounds like a crazy cat lady
[23:56] <philipballew> uc davis is the best vet hospital i hear
[23:58] <pleia2> yeah, her hospital vet here in SF did a residency there, and the transplant doctor we consulted with developed the kidney transplant procedure there (he's now in private practice in Santa Rosa)
[23:59] <pleia2> her hospital vet went to Penn, which is cool because we can chat Philly with him :)
