[00:00] <broder> i thought the jam was usually in berkeley somewhere and the release party was at thirsty bear
[00:02] <greg-g> yeah, I assume for the jams you actually get some stuff done, thus, thirsty bear isn't the primary place, but the fun after party
[00:03] <broder> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/NattyGlobalJam
[00:03] <greg-g> huh, you had it at a restuarant
[00:03] <MarkDude> Oh yes, jams are for workin'
[00:03] <greg-g> Michigan did ours at a co-working type place we could take over
[00:04] <MarkDude> Release party is about beer
[00:04] <greg-g> (not really a co-working place, but a company that has that kind of a feel)
[00:09] <pleia2> greg-g: we've done several at berkeleylug, which meets at a pizzeria with wifi
[00:09] <pleia2> the noisebridge hackerspace is also an option (we did the lucid installfest there)
[00:10] <pleia2> I'm sure someone better connected could get us into one of the 54545435 startups in SOMA on a weekend, but that's not me :)
[00:12] <broder> hmm...you make a compelling point
[00:12] <broder> i can ask around
[00:13] <greg-g> maybe WMF?
[00:13] <greg-g> I can ask them
[00:13] <greg-g> (they're ubuntu server users)
[00:15] <bkerensa> Monkeybrains
[00:15] <bkerensa> http://monkeybrains.net/
[00:15] <bkerensa> they have a nice space and might host you guys if you asked idk though
[00:15] <bkerensa> Rudy is their chief monkey
[00:16] <greg-g> bkerensa: can you make an introduction?
[00:16] <bkerensa> I could e-mail Rudy and ask sure :) Its been years since I have seen him but he is a cool guy and they have a big space
[00:17] <greg-g> cool
[00:18] <bkerensa> greg-g: I have dispatched a e-mail to the Monkeys :)
[00:18] <pleia2> WMF would be awesome too, they have a nice space (I went to a CiviCRM meetup there one)
[00:19] <bkerensa> they support a lot of local stuff.... In fact they provide connectivity for the EFF
[00:19] <bkerensa> :)
[00:19] <pleia2> plus they're like 600ft from me
[00:19] <jledbetter> WMF would be. Not sure of convenience to a train but they are wicked awesome.
[00:19] <greg-g> pleia2: yeah, thought that would please you :)
[00:19] <pleia2> jledbetter: it's on the same block as the roastery (for tonight!)
[00:19] <greg-g> jledbetter: WMF is close to BART
[00:19] <bkerensa> WMF?
[00:19] <bkerensa> :D
[00:19] <pleia2> bkerensa: wikimedia
[00:19] <greg-g> Wikimedia Foundation
[00:20] <bkerensa> oh I had no idea they had a office in downtown sf :)
[00:20] <pleia2> yeah, on new montgomery st
[00:20] <bkerensa> makes sense :)
[00:21] <greg-g> bkerensa: I'm trying to get MonkeyBrains as my house's ISP, we're a hop out of sight (we need a bridge at some point, so I need to find another interested house between us and an active node)
[00:22] <bkerensa> heh
[00:22] <jledbetter> pleia2: Feeling blah so not sure if I'm making tonight. But good to know :)
[00:22] <pleia2> jledbetter: ok, next time! :)
[00:22] <jledbetter> Is there usually just one jam for the area?
[00:22] <bkerensa> I remember when Monkeybrains opened as a ISP in SF.... I thought Rudy and Co were crazy for walking away from their Dot Com jobs
[00:22] <bkerensa> :D
[00:22] <pleia2> jledbetter: sometimes jono will host one in the east bay, Walnut Creek
[00:23] <jledbetter> pleia2: Ah, gotcha.
[00:23] <kdub__> move out of ann arbor, eh greg-g ?
[00:23] <pleia2> but he does it on Fridays :(
[00:23] <pleia2> (it's work for him, so makes sense)
[00:23] <bkerensa> Rudy wants to do Microtrenching in SF so he can laydown Fiber all across the city but I think the City is denying him
[00:23] <greg-g> kdub__: heya!
[00:23] <greg-g> yep, I'm in Bernal
[00:24] <greg-g> kdub__: where are you?
[00:24] <kdub__> san diego
[00:24] <bkerensa> greg-g: Bernal heights is fun
[00:24] <bkerensa> :D
[00:24] <greg-g> kdub__: oh huh, what are you doing there?
[00:24] <kdub__> just working, avoiding winter
[00:24] <pleia2> avoiding_winter++
[00:25] <kdub__> android work right now
[00:26] <greg-g> kdub__: :)
[00:26] <greg-g> cool, anything public?
[00:26] <bkerensa> pleia2: Oh you guys have winter? :P
[00:27] <bkerensa> Its 42 outside right now and thats warm :(
[00:27] <kdub__> greg-g: unfortunately no, moving towards changing that though
[00:28] <greg-g> kdub__: awesome :)
[00:28] <pleia2> bkerensa: no winter here (winter in philly)
[00:29] <pleia2> it's 62F and sunny beautiful here today
[00:29] <pleia2> 33F and snowing in philly right now
[00:31] <pleia2> aww, next week is my 2 year anniversary in california :)
[00:32]  * bkerensa mumbles about the sunny weather in california
[00:32] <MarkDude> i like penguins
[00:32] <pleia2> bkerensa: https://plus.google.com/u/1/116904638361799818523/posts/HFhwTVbW9xK
[00:33] <pleia2> just in case you wanted to mumble summore :)
[00:34] <bkerensa> ;p
[00:34] <bkerensa> MarkDude: You are a penguin
[00:34] <jledbetter> rabble rabble rabble
[00:42] <philipballew> SD ubuntu hour and invite sent out.
[00:43] <pleia2> \o/
[00:43] <bkerensa> heh apparently google is going to start offering to pay $5 to buy your browsing data
[00:43] <bkerensa> :D
[00:43] <bkerensa> http://www.google.com/landing/screenwisepanel/
[00:44] <philipballew> pleia2, good luck tonight. I will be there next month though.
[00:44] <pleia2> thanks :)
[00:45] <philipballew> I know its hard to get them set up and you hope you can have them work out. So luck is always needed
[00:46] <pleia2> doing them with debian dinners always helps with attendance
[00:52] <philipballew> Thats a plus. the debian users in so cal are pretty boring and never do anything
[00:52] <pleia2> you have to lure them out with chinese food
[00:53] <pleia2> they are naturally shy creatures, and easily spooked
[00:55] <bkerensa> greg-g: The Monkeys have responded - "We've moved out of the SOMA space for now and are in a much smaller office. . We might be able to fit a couple people between boxes though... Honestly, we've got a 600sqft office these days. However, we may be moving here in the next few months to something much larger again. If we do, we probably could do this for you guys.
[00:55] <bkerensa> "
[02:09] <pleia2> hehe, there are two recruiters here
[02:10] <akk> That's cool, recruiters clueful enough to go to a meeting like that.
[02:10] <akk> Also that recruiters are interested in ubuntu/debian people.
[02:10] <pleia2> yeah :)
[05:19] <broder> ah, that's what they were - i didn't actually catch it
[07:00]  * MarkDude may not have been paying attention, but, when was the bots name changed from Eureka?
[19:28] <nhaines> Well, ubucon.org is renewed for another year.
[19:57] <MarkDude> nhaines, you do great work for Ubuntu and FOSS in general.
[19:57]  * MarkDude wanted to thank you for your awesome efforts
[19:57] <MarkDude> :)
[19:59] <nhaines> MarkDude: thanks.
[20:10] <nhaines> Does anyone have any idea how a Lenovo Ideapad G570 runs with Ubuntu?
[21:15] <nhaines> There's an SSID here called "pretty fly for a wifi" which always makes me smirk.
