|---|---|---|
| philipballew | this puts a new meaning to their moto "live free or die" | 02:22 |
| akk | That's great! Wonder if CA will ever follow suit? | 02:29 |
| philipballew | maybe we as a LoCo should protest the capitol. | 02:32 |
| philipballew | but ms has so many lobbyists, thet'd say floss is more expensive probably | 02:33 |
| jbermudes | What does the Bay Area use? electronic touch screen voting? | 02:34 |
| jbermudes | LA County uses basically stamped ink bubbles that are sort of like SAT-style answer sheets | 02:34 |
| jbermudes | But I suppose the machines reading it could be hiding some tricks so FOSS would be cool to have for even those | 02:35 |
| jtatum | santa clara county uses optical reader types - connect these two boxes with a line to vote | 02:36 |
| jtatum | same as they had in florida. dunno about the rest of the bay. | 02:36 |
| philipballew | placer county uses punch cards... | 02:36 |
| jbermudes | So at least there's a paper trail in all of these instances, right? | 02:37 |
| akk | I thought the florida problem was all about the chads (punchcards), not optical scan. | 02:46 |
| akk | My district (in San Jose) is all mail-in, optical scan. We had touchscreen for a year or two. | 02:47 |
| jtatum | ah, good point akk. Let me revise my blanket statement to say orange county, florida :) | 02:47 |
| * jledbetter1 waves. | 03:02 | |
| Darkwing | Oi! | 03:02 |

| Darkwing | Anyone have any plans for a Global Jam? | 03:03 |
| Darkwing | North or south? | 03:04 |

| Darkwing | Anyway, back to the meeting... anyone have anything to add about global jams? | 03:11 |
| MarkDude | They are fun. | 03:11 |

| Darkwing | San Diego UH is coming up next week. | 03:14 |
| Darkwing | on the 21st | 03:15 |
| jledbetter1 | Yay! | 03:15 |
| epikvision | question: where is the global jam held at? | 03:15 |
| * philipballew has stickers to bring thanks to jtatum | 03:15 | |
| Darkwing | They are all over... Keep checking http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california for information on it. | 03:16 |
| Darkwing | epikvision: ^^ | 03:16 |
| eps | We don't even have it listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects | 03:16 |
| jtatum | or the mailing list hopefully | 03:16 |
| philipballew | would it be possible as a loco to do a online global jam? | 03:16 |
| epikvision | haha | 03:16 |
| epikvision | :D | 03:16 |
| Darkwing | As long as someone organizes it. | 03:16 |
| Darkwing | I normally do some Kubuntu Jams | 03:16 |
| Darkwing | online | 03:16 |
| jledbetter1 | philipballew: Yes. | 03:16 |
| philipballew | since were such a big state, we just find a few bugs and all work on them. | 03:17 |
| jbermudes | So what would that look like besides just people talking in the IRC channel like usual? | 03:17 |
| jledbetter1 | And be here for those that get stuck on how to fix. | 03:17 |
| jledbetter1 | organized time we're at the keyboard? | 03:17 |
| philipballew | maybe, or we just find say 5 bugs as a loco is different levels of difficulty and maybe 2 or 3 work on one together. | 03:18 |
| Darkwing | Anyone have anything else to add? If you are doing a Jam, please add it to the wiki and to loco.u.c | 03:19 |
| Darkwing | If not I have to get ready for an interview tomorrow. | 03:20 |
| Darkwing | Cheers! | 03:20 |
| akk | Good luck, Darkwing! | 03:21 |
| jledbetter1 | Hope it goes well, Darkwing :) | 03:22 |
