| dscassel | :D | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mimcpher | dscassel: We're out :P | 00:00 |
| dscassel | I got a few left. I suppose that's a good way to get rid of them. | 00:00 |
| dscassel | There'll be more in about 6 weeks. :) | 00:00 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: I mean, we can just burn a stack, but the branded ones are so very shiny | 00:01 |
| mimcpher | If you've got some you want to be rid of, I'd take 'em | 00:01 |
| BobJonkman1 | I have a few left. Will be handing out at Ubuntu Hour in Waterloo next week, if there's folks to take 'em | 00:02 |
| dscassel | Okay. I'll drop off the last of what I have this week or next. | 00:02 |
| mimcpher | Where is Ubuntu Hour happening? | 00:02 |
| BobJonkman1 | Say, is this official meeting talk> | 00:02 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: if it's easier, I can grab 'em at Kwartzlab too. | 00:02 |
| dscassel | Uh, right. | 00:02 |
| BobJonkman1 | mimcpher: At the Duke of Wellington: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1555/detail/ | 00:03 |

| KombuchaKip | dscassel: Yo | 00:04 |
| dscassel | Meeting time! | 00:04 |
| khoover | PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTY | 00:04 |
| dscassel | Please introduce yourself! Who are you? Where are you from? what do you do with/for/on Ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| dscassel | Yeah, pretty much. :D | 00:05 |
| dscassel | mimcpher: You're involved in CSC? | 00:05 |
| * BobJonkman1 is Bob Jonkman from Elmira, who occasionally hangs out at the Duke of Wellington and hands out Ubuntu CDs | 00:05 | |
| dscassel | mimcpher: How can I get you guys to do Ubuntu stuff? :D | 00:06 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: Uh, fairly trivially. We used to do Linux (which means ubuntu) install parties. | 00:06 |
| KombuchaKip | My name's Kip. I am the project lead behind Avaneya. Avaneya's a free, commercial, sci-fi game for Ubuntu still in the works (www.avaneya.com). I live just outside of Vancouver. Also check out our Viking Lander Remastered archive at the aforementioned. | 00:07 |
| wylde | 'llo, James PLate from Welland, recently getting involved with bug triage and harassing family and friends to get on Ubuntu ;) | 00:07 |
| Jeruvy | Someone page? Oh meeting night :) | 00:07 |
| * khoover is Ken Hoover from Markham, who...well, he'll add in the what he does later. | 00:07 | |
| * mimcpher is Matthew McPherrin in Waterloo. Exec of CSC, who is a Ubuntu Mirror. And we hand out ubuntu CDs to students. | 00:07 | |
| * bregma lives in the back woods of Lanark County, Ontario, and woks on Ubuntu and Debian | 00:07 | |
| johanbr | I'm Johan, pretty recent transplant to Montreal, use Ubuntu for most of my computing needs. I also help people on IRC, report bugs and occasionally patch them | 00:07 |
| kurtul | i'm from halifax, ns. i use ubuntu in all my computers as first os. and install ubuntu on friends computers | 00:07 |
| dscassel | mimcpher: Woo! I should drop by for one of those. | 00:08 |
| dscassel | I subscribe to the CSC calendar, but I haven't seen one in a while. | 00:08 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: Yeah, they haven't really happened in a while. | 00:08 |
| * Jeruvy hails from Calgary and is a big Ubuntu server admin, and a desktop enthusiast. | 00:10 | |
| BobJonkman1 | If we're wondering what to chat about, there's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-03-13 | 00:11 |
| dscassel | Hi, I'm Darcy, I'm in Waterloo and I'm co-contact for Ubuntu Canada. | 00:11 |
| dscassel | Thanks, BobJonkman1 :) | 00:11 |
| BobJonkman1 | Thought you might be distracted by shiny lasers and bots and things | 00:12 |
| dscassel | Faroud's not around. Shame, I'm intested in how the Global Jam in St Johns's went down. | 00:13 |
| dscassel | Anybody go? | 00:13 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman1: Sorta, yeah. ^^; | 00:13 |
| dscassel | Our global jam was pretty awesome! Happy to finally meet bilal and mars :D | 00:14 |
| dscassel | Not great attendance, mind you. A lot of people were busy that weekend. | 00:14 |
| * mimcpher is always busy for #ubuntu-ca events | 00:15 | |
| mimcpher | :/ | 00:15 |
| dscassel | mimcpher: Are you going to be around the CSC office around lunch time any day this week? | 00:15 |
| dscassel | (I'd stop by for pi day tomorrow, but sadly I can't partake. Doctor's orders' :/ ) | 00:16 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: With probability > 0.5 I'll be in CSC after 12:30 tomorrow | 00:17 |
| BobJonkman1 | Pi day! Forgot about that. | 00:17 |
| dscassel | Pie! :D | 00:17 |
| dscassel | Anyway, next big event is the release party. | 00:19 |
| dscassel | Unless I can convince anyone to host an Ubuntu Hour. :D | 00:20 |
| dscassel | We're hosting one at Kwartzlab on the Saturday | 00:20 |
| BobJonkman1 | (Ubuntu Release Party at Kwartzlab, not an Ubuntu Hour) | 00:21 |
| BobJonkman1 | Although, why not? | 00:21 |
| dscassel | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1527/detail/ | 00:21 |
| dscassel | yes! | 00:21 |
| dscassel | well, we don't serve food, which is kind of a downer. | 00:21 |
| dscassel | (Normally, I mean, the release party will have pizza, cake, devilled eggs, etc. :D) | 00:22 |
| khoover | :( no food? and jez, i gotta upgrade my ubuntu at some point... | 00:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | Kwartzlab may not serve food, but the URP participants usually bring some | 00:22 |
| bregma | is everybody running the 12.04 beta by now?? | 00:23 |
| dscassel | bregma: Me! :D | 00:23 |
| Jeruvy | yes | 00:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | No, not yet. Corrupted my USB drive image... :( | 00:23 |
| wylde | I am | 00:23 |
| khoover | i'm still on natty, can't bear to go to ocelot and it's gnome 3 | 00:23 |
| bregma | 11.10 runs Unity | 00:25 |
| khoover | ...shoot, got em backwards | 00:26 |
| khoover | meant unity | 00:26 |
| bregma | as of yesterday's upgrade most of my problems with the beta have been worked out, it seems very stable and fully functional | 00:27 |
| bregma | I would recommend upgrading now to give things a good testing before final release | 00:27 |
| dscassel | Yeah. There's a (slim) chance you can get your problem fixed if you run into something. | 00:28 |
| khoover | exactly what's the likelihood of something breaking/getting wiped in the natty => ocelot upgrade? | 00:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Kernel freeze on 5 April: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 00:30 |
| khoover | cause then I might just do it and try a different windowing system than gnome | 00:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | I've always had good results in upgrading, even to a beta release | 00:30 |
| bregma | I upgraded from natty to oneiric without trouble | 00:30 |
| bregma | and then to precise, with minor video driver trouble (nVidia, fixed upstream by nVidia) | 00:31 |
| khoover | alrigh. suppose kde would be the closest thing to gnome that isn't gnome, right? | 00:32 |
| dscassel | khoover: There's cinnamon, but not sure how well it's supported. | 00:32 |
| bregma | KDE is the closest thing to Win XP that isn't Gnome2 | 00:32 |
| khoover | bregma, oh thank god | 00:32 |
| dscassel | khoover: There's also XFCE. xubuntu is decent. | 00:32 |
| khoover | dscassel, had a bad experience with it on my first ubuntu install | 00:33 |
| khoover | so, how would i update to ocelot, anywho? | 00:33 |
| dscassel | khoover: update-manager -d | 00:34 |
| khoover | can't use apt(itude)? | 00:34 |
| dscassel | khoover: If you want to hand-edit your sources.list, sure! :D | 00:34 |
| bregma | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades | 00:34 |
| dscassel | Anybody running a release party? | 00:35 |
| BobJonkman1 | I would really love to hear about a Toronto release party (hint hint) | 00:36 |
| khoover | supposing the upgrade will require a reboot | 00:39 |
| bregma | it will probably install a new kernel, you will want to reboot to pick it up | 00:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | That was a (hint hint) to encourage some Torontonian to set up a URP... | 00:39 |
| khoover | ... | 00:40 |
| * khoover quits | 00:40 | |
| khoover | sorry, hang on, got that wrong. | 00:40 |
| * khoover has quit (Remote host has run away like hell) | 00:40 | |
| BobJonkman1 | khoover: Thought I'd offended you... | 00:40 |
| khoover | huh? | 00:41 |
| dscassel | Okay, well... | 00:42 |
| dscassel | I'd love if someone was able to take over doing Team Reports | 00:42 |
| dscassel | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/TeamReports | 00:42 |
| bregma | but we're so satisfied with the work you're already doing | 00:43 |
| dscassel | All you have to do, really, is pull events from the loco portal. | 00:43 |
| dscassel | (Which can be scripted... I almost did it, but then got lazy and lost the code) | 00:44 |
| dscassel | Thanks, bregma 9_9 | 00:44 |
| dscassel | 'Cuz we're likely up for renewal in a few months. And they're gonna ask about team reports. | 00:49 |
| dscassel | Otherwise, we're probably cool. Except for the whole province teams things. | 00:49 |
| dscassel | thing | 00:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | How might the province teams thing affect LoCo renewal? | 00:50 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Canada may not be renewed. Unless we decide to be Ubuntu Ontario. | 00:51 |
| dscassel | It's up to the LoCo Council, really. | 00:51 |
| dscassel | Not that anyone's ever talked to me about it... | 00:51 |
| dscassel | So I'm just speculating. | 00:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | Would other provinces automatically get LoCo status then, too? | 00:52 |
| dscassel | Again, I'm speculating. Ubuntu ontario may not be automatic. | 00:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | f'rinstance, Faroud in Newfoundland... kurtul from Nova Scotia... There was someone from Saskatchewan a few meetings ago... | 00:54 |
| BobJonkman1 | Oh, and Jeruvy (sorry 'bout that omission!) | 00:55 |
| dscassel | They'd probably need to organize and get separate approval. | 00:55 |
| dscassel | Hypothetically. | 00:55 |
| dscassel | Again, speculating. | 00:55 |
| Jeruvy | BobJonkman, no harm done. :) | 00:56 |
| BobJonkman1 | Well, best we get ourselves geared up to do Team Reports then. | 00:56 |
| dscassel | Yup. I'll see if I can dig up that script to automate them. | 00:58 |
| dscassel | Anyway, it's 9. Anything else? | 00:58 |
| dscassel | mimcpher: I'll drop by tomorrow. :D | 00:59 |
| mimcpher | dscassel: awesome | 01:00 |
| dscassel | Thanks folks! | 01:01 |
| BobJonkman1 | dscassel: I'll work on minutes and logs in a bit. | 01:02 |
| BobJonkman1 | dscassel: Also, there seem to be two release parties in KW. Conveniently, they're both at Kwartzlab so I don't have to miss either one :) http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | 01:03 |
| bregma | thanks for running the meeting, guys | 01:04 |
| * Jeruvy is off to the game | 01:06 | |
| dscassel | Thanks, BobJonkman1 :) | 01:11 |
| dscassel | Yeah, I didn't look for the existing one when the global event went up. | 01:12 |
| BobJonkman1 | OK, I'll remove the one that's not registered to the global event | 01:17 |
| BobJonkman1 | Hmm... Seems I can add events, but can't remove them: "You can not remove this team event. You are not an admin/owner of the Launchpad team or on the LoCo Council." | 01:21 |
| wmat | anyone know of an Ubuntu loco chapter in Edmonton? | 16:35 |
| bregma | I believe there is only the national loco, the Quebec loco, and the Vancouver loco | 16:37 |
| wmat | bregma: thx | 16:46 |
| wmat | there's one in Kitchener/Waterloo as well, but that may be the national one | 16:47 |
| mimcpher | KW people are nationals, yee. | 17:07 |
| wmat | heh | 17:15 |
| BobJonkman | wmat, bregma, mimcpher: :P KW is just another local chapter. Happens to have the two ubuntu-ca national contacts here, but otherwise just the same as the Edmonton Chapter (which wmat is setting up, right?) | 19:04 |
| mimcpher | BobJonkman: Ah, well then I wasn't clear on the seperation | 19:05 |
| bregma | is a "chapter" an official designation of a subgroup within a loco, or is it just a handy word being bandied about? | 19:07 |
| wmat | BobJonkman: I actually live in Waterloo ;) | 20:30 |
| wmat | BobJonkman: however, I was contacted today by someone inquiring about starting a chapter in Edmonton | 20:30 |
| === bregma is now known as bregma|afk | ||
| mimcpher | Man, I really hate unity. And xmonad has stopped working since I upgraded to oneric this morning :( | 21:21 |
