| h00k | http://ubuntuone.com/1D4Mi2uFFGOdykjmQELeZl | 01:35 |
| h00k | testing this link, feel free to ignore | 01:35 |
| rick-schwai | h00k: this is a test | 01:39 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: success | 01:39 |
| h00k | so, meeting in 20 minutes. | 01:39 |
| h00k | bigbash, DavidLevin, greppy, hawke_, jrolland-ubuntu, KBme , mikeputnam, ripps: are you guys going to be here tonight? | 01:40 |
| h00k | /topic | 01:41 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: ^ | 01:41 |
| h00k | yotux, exigraff: hello | 01:57 |
| yotux | hook: hello and good evening to you the group | 01:58 |
| * exigraff bows | 01:59 | |
| h00k | Okay. I had to take care of some things here. | 02:02 |
| h00k | welcome, everyone. | 02:02 |
| h00k | It looks like we have a few active people here: exigraff, yotux, rick-schwai, and myself | 02:02 |
| exigraff | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhuewundDxc#t=8s | 02:04 |
| h00k | First off, I'd like to do introductions, in no special order, but we can go in the order I listed above. I'll start. I'm Anthony Hook, the LoCo Contact. I'm an Ubuntu Member, I am an IRC operator, and I love my beautiful wife Brittany (reverse order of importance there) | 02:04 |
| h00k | exigraff: your turn! | 02:04 |
| exigraff | hi! I am... not in Wisconsin. I tend to write code, though. | 02:05 |
| exigraff | h00k's a friend of mine, and I am paid to be here. | 02:05 |
| h00k | and you weren't supposed to tell... | 02:05 |
| exigraff | I think that's the important stuff. yotux? | 02:05 |
| yotux | Nathan, I have been using Ubuntu for five+ years. I have done some ISO testing. Also have been doing some political stuff in the state. | 02:06 |
| exigraff | I support this. | 02:06 |
| h00k | cool. | 02:06 |
| rick-schwai | I am probably the old guy of the group. I just qualified for Medicare this month. | 02:08 |
| rick-schwai | I have been in the software business for over 35 years. I was too dumb to leave it. But I discovered ubuntu 4 years ago and have been having a lot of fun with it. | 02:09 |
| exigraff | rock on :D | 02:09 |
| h00k | ^ this guy organized the talk in Minocqua, Rhinelander, and is tirelessly working on this upcoming talk in Wausau, WI | 02:09 |
| * h00k takes notes "to dumb to leave it" | 02:10 | |
| rick-schwai | I happened to walk by an Apple store in a mall and saw lots of people having lots of fun and spending lots of $. | 02:10 |
| rick-schwai | I thought we could have a similar experience but not have to spend lots of $ so I mentioned the idea to h00k. | 02:11 |
| rick-schwai | He was crazy enough to agree. So...we are having a Conference on March 24th in Wausau. | 02:11 |
| h00k | It's starred at the top of my inbox, some people down near Madison/Milwaukee seemed fond of the idea. | 02:11 |
| exigraff | that's awesome. | 02:11 |
| h00k | SO, hopefully we attract some local attention, but it would be great (because it's in Central WI) to have people from all over the state to drop by... | 02:12 |
| h00k | *nudge* | 02:12 |
| h00k | Which happens to be the topic of the meeting | 02:12 |
| yotux | I'll try to attend the conf, hoping there is not any recall activities for the same weekend | 02:12 |
| exigraff | I will send beer money. | 02:12 |
| h00k | yotux: ah, it's quote possible... | 02:12 |
| h00k | exigraff: personally, yes? | 02:13 |
| * exigraff opens calendar | 02:13 | |
| exigraff | wait... I see a birthday on here... | 02:13 |
| h00k | So, it'll be on March 24, a Saturday. We have a nice room at the library from 10:00am to 3:00pm | 02:13 |
| h00k | exigraff: it's true | 02:13 |
| h00k | it also happens to be my Wife's birthday | 02:13 |
| exigraff | the library may frown on beer-consumption. | 02:14 |
| h00k | exigraff: consider that for *after* | 02:14 |
| yotux | exigraff: I have to agree with you on that | 02:14 |
| h00k | Here's a sweet poster that got created and distributed all over: http://i.imgur.com/oupPj.jpg | 02:14 |
| exigraff | there is a slight chance that I'll be in Canada. if that's not the case, I should be able to make it. | 02:14 |
| rick-schwai | When would you know about Canada? | 02:15 |
| exigraff | /weeks/ before that. is there an rsvp list somewhere? | 02:16 |
| h00k | The current agenda includes an Intro (what is Ubuntu, history, pros/cons, installation/conversion updates, touch on available applications). Following, a demo of such, then split up into two simultaneous tracks. | 02:16 |
| h00k | exigraff: at the moment, no | 02:16 |
| h00k | not formally. | 02:17 |
| exigraff | do y'all in wisconsin use meetup.com? | 02:17 |
| h00k | exigraff: you | 02:17 |
| h00k | re from here :p | 02:17 |
| rick-schwai | Based on my 2 previous classes, I am expecting between 25-35 attendees. | 02:17 |
| h00k | also, no, we haven't as a LoCo | 02:18 |
| exigraff | might be useful. but yeah, I should know at least a month in advance of that date. | 02:19 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: correct me if I'm wrong, you have plans of this intro, yes? | 02:19 |
| rick-schwai | Yes. I planned on doing the intro using my previous presentation. | 02:19 |
| rick-schwai | However, the demo as well as the session about installation and applications are open for volunteers | 02:20 |
| h00k | So, here comes the fun: volunteers! | 02:20 |
| * exigraff volunteers for whatever can be done from potentially afar | 02:21 | |
| rick-schwai | If a person is uncomfortable speaking in front of a large group, then just being there as a Q&A resouce is very helpful and lends credibility to the LOCO. | 02:21 |
| yotux | I have not done a tech presentation before pending sch. I would be willing to vol. | 02:22 |
| rick-schwai | Consider yourself a demonstrator! | 02:22 |
| h00k | yotux: cool. any idea of which one? | 02:23 |
| yotux | having been out of the Loco loop for sometime I am open to suggestions | 02:23 |
| rick-schwai | One session will concentrate on how to ubuntu can be installed and show the various types of installs. | 02:24 |
| yotux | I could do a install walk through..... | 02:25 |
| rick-schwai | The other session will concentrate on ubuntu included apps like web browsers, networking, backup, etc | 02:25 |
| h00k | your choice of version to install ;) | 02:26 |
| yotux | I have a few machines that I have access to. I do a desktop install | 02:27 |
| yotux | How does that Loco feel about Wubi? | 02:27 |
| rick-schwai | We are trying to prep people for 12.04 so showing 11.10 would be the preferred install. | 02:27 |
| h00k | Cool, I have a machine I could bring for testing dualboot | 02:27 |
| yotux | Okay, I can grab a few flash drives and load ISO's | 02:28 |
| rick-schwai | Wubi is a great selling point since most people come from a Windows background and would approach ubuntu slowly. | 02:28 |
| h00k | yotux: wubi is fine, sure | 02:28 |
| yotux | No a huge fan of Wubi.... but in a pinch it helps to spoon feed newbies | 02:29 |
| rick-schwai | I think you will find most of the audience are newbies. | 02:29 |
| exigraff | bless 'em. | 02:30 |
| rick-schwai | We were all newbies at one time or another | 02:30 |
| yotux | yes I have a to agree | 02:30 |
| exigraff | educating the librarians will go a long way as well, oracles of information that they are. they're in a good position to spread the love even further. | 02:30 |
| exigraff | as it were. | 02:31 |
| h00k | Cool. | 02:32 |
| h00k | Another thing for the end may be a lightning-talk, something to showcase a cool project that someone/some people may have done with Ubuntu | 02:32 |
| h00k | an example may be...I don't know...a 10 minute talk on how they used Ubuntu to solve $problem | 02:33 |
| h00k | maybe some software they wrote, some experience they had, | 02:33 |
| h00k | etc. | 02:33 |
| rick-schwai | Somewhere we should have a pretty face as a presenter. I know that leaves out h00k and me. Might your wife want to participate, h00k? | 02:33 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: I'd have to check, I have a feeling she may not want to that day | 02:33 |
| h00k | but it's a possibility | 02:34 |
| h00k | she mentioned getting a massage somewhere in Wausau at the time the conference is | 02:34 |
| rick-schwai | Tell her its your birthday gift to her. | 02:34 |
| h00k | Yeah...I did, it didn't go very well | 02:34 |
| h00k | she's a pretty damn good sport, though | 02:35 |
| h00k | yotux: you still do amatuer radio, yes? (curiosity) | 02:35 |
| rick-schwai | I have been converting LP's of big band music for my neighbor using Audacity. Anyone think this might be of interest. The process would also work for cassette tapes. | 02:36 |
| h00k | ^ that may be cool, yeah | 02:36 |
| yotux | hook: yes I am still involved still learning | 02:36 |
| rick-schwai | Or am I just showing my age. | 02:36 |
| h00k | yotux: cool | 02:37 |
| rick-schwai | I need to step away for a minute. My dog needs to go out. | 02:37 |
| mikeputnam | take mine out too please | 02:37 |
| yotux | hook: could maybe drop a line in the ubuntu-hams group and see if that have any presentation ideas | 02:37 |
| * h00k takes mikeputnam outside | 02:38 | |
| h00k | oh, doing it wrong. | 02:38 |
| h00k | yotux: I didn't know there was one, cool! | 02:38 |
| h00k | anyway...so we have one presenter, I'm wondering if we can have a meeting in another week to see if we can catch more people, and open it up on the mailing list | 02:39 |
| h00k | does this sound acceptable? | 02:39 |
| yotux | sound like a good idea to me | 02:39 |
| exigraff | +1 | 02:41 |
| h00k | cool. If we can get one more, and maybe a lightning talk or two, that'd be awesome | 02:41 |
| h00k | I have a new camera, I'll take some cool pictures and we can throw them online, another thing to add to our résumé for applying for Offical LoCo recognization | 02:42 |
| h00k | does anyone else have anything to add? | 02:45 |
| h00k | questions, comments, | 02:45 |
| h00k | anything unrelated and fun? | 02:46 |
| rick-schwai | I think this is a great start | 02:46 |
| exigraff | tis. I will say that we should probably have some kind of public planning document, and/or an rsvp list. | 02:46 |
| exigraff | but this is great - I'm glad to see this happening. | 02:46 |
| h00k | There isn't anything re: RSVP'ing on the flyer that was printed/distributed | 02:47 |
| exigraff | more for presenters than attendees, so maybe 'rsvp' was the wrong word | 02:47 |
| exigraff | just something in writing for our own purposes | 02:47 |
| h00k | oh. yeah. There's a draft document at the moment shared between Rick and I | 02:47 |
| rick-schwai | We have a start of a planning document. We will be publishing it soon. | 02:47 |
| exigraff | ah, gotcha. | 02:47 |
| exigraff | carry on then. :) | 02:47 |
| h00k | yotux: are you available in a week or so? | 02:49 |
| yotux | Same night? | 02:49 |
| h00k | yotux: perhaps/probably? | 02:49 |
| rick-schwai | I am available | 02:49 |
| yotux | should be I am poping the Gcal open | 02:49 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: cool | 02:50 |
| yotux | Monday I am busy | 02:50 |
| yotux | hook: thursday is out also sorry | 02:51 |
| h00k | yotux: okay, Wednesday? | 02:52 |
| yotux | open ya! | 02:53 |
| h00k | Sounds good. | 02:53 |
| rick-schwai | Wednesday is fine. | 02:53 |
| h00k | That was all I had on the agenda for tonight, unless anyone else has anything to add about anything? | 02:53 |
| h00k | I'm testing 12.04 and I'm really liking it | 02:53 |
| rick-schwai | I've said enough already. | 02:54 |
| yotux | hook: 12.04 I am running it but kubuntu flavor | 02:55 |
| h00k | yotux: gotcha. Did you see the news about Kubuntu being a community-supported distro? | 02:56 |
| yotux | I saw something on it. | 02:57 |
| yotux | I know with unity it makes it harder for the two groups to work together | 02:57 |
| h00k | Yeah, they're reorganizing the lead KDE developer, Kubuntu will be community-supported, such as Xubuntu and Lubuntu | 02:58 |
| yotux | cool | 03:00 |
| h00k | alright, well... | 03:02 |
| h00k | I think that's all I had for business tonight | 03:02 |
| h00k | I'll send out an update tomorrow with my notes, a call for volunteers | 03:02 |
| yotux | hook: we have a google+ page for the Loco? | 03:03 |
| h00k | yotux: we do | 03:03 |
| yotux | sweet.... | 03:03 |
| h00k | https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/114072330989476423938/ | 03:03 |
| h00k | not much there | 03:03 |
| h00k | in fact, I forgot about it. | 03:03 |
| h00k | I will get this rocking more, we can use this, somehow, with coordination | 03:04 |
| h00k | a Hangout in conjunction with the meeting or something | 03:05 |
| h00k | Okay, I am going to get Brittany some apple juice | 03:05 |
| h00k | and with that, I suppose the meeting is adjourned | 03:05 |
| h00k | Thanks, and good to see you, exigraff, yotux, and rick-schwai | 03:05 |
| h00k | rick-schwai: I'll give you a call tomorrow, if that's okay? | 03:06 |
| yotux | okay, thanks for the info and look forward to next week | 03:06 |
| exigraff | o/ good to see everyone | 03:06 |
| bigbash | Sorry h00k I left my IRC on at work and I was at v-ball last night. I'll read the logs now | 14:16 |
| === bigbash is now known as zz_bigbash | ||
| h00k | zz_bigbash: no prob | 16:38 |
| === zz_bigbash is now known as bigbash | ||
| bigbash | I am so glad to be moving our help desk system from Windows to Ubuntu server | 18:00 |
| hawke_ | Nice | 18:03 |
| hawke_ | What software? | 18:03 |
| Cheesehead | h00k: I'll be in Wausau. Happy to present and be charming. | 18:45 |
| h00k | Cheesehead: Oh, awesome. | 18:49 |
| Cheesehead | I think the participants need to sit down an a couple weeks and game out who is presenting what, where our holes are, and what additional resources might be easy to bring to the table | 18:52 |
| h00k | yep | 18:54 |
| h00k | That's exactly the plan | 18:54 |
| Cheesehead | As long as it's not Wednesday night, I can probably be there. | 18:55 |
| h00k | Roger | 18:56 |
| bigbash | h00k, sorry our SAN just arrived and I was a bit distracted | 19:45 |
| bigbash | the software is called SysAid | 19:46 |
| h00k | bigbash: Interesting, never heard of it | 19:48 |
| bigbash | what's funny is getting support for it is a pain | 19:48 |
| bigbash | h00k, what SAN are you using? | 19:49 |
| h00k | bigbash: we have a Compellent SAN | 19:49 |
| bigbash | ah ok | 19:49 |
| h00k | bigbash: it's pretty sweet | 19:50 |
| bigbash | is it setup as a VSA or just a storage system? | 19:50 |
| h00k | bigbash: what SAN? | 19:50 |
| bigbash | P4300 | 19:50 |
| bigbash | HP | 19:50 |

| h00k | Very Small Array? | 19:51 |
| bigbash | virtual SAN appliance | 19:51 |
| h00k | no, that's radio | 19:51 |
| h00k | Oh, no, it's a full-blown fiberchannel, dual controller, tiered storage | 19:51 |
| bigbash | ah ok | 19:52 |
| h00k | we currently have 24 tier-1 drives, 146Gb, 15k, and 7 tier-3 nearline-SAS | 19:54 |
| bigbash | 0.o nice | 20:02 |
