| pleia2 | #startmeeting | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | who all is here for the meeting? | 02:00 |
| eps | eep! | 02:01 |
| * pleia2 takes that as a "me" | 02:01 | |
| akk | o/ | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | alright, well we don't have anything formal on the agenda | 02:02 |
| greg-g | o/ | 02:02 |
| eps | nothing wearing ... a tux? ;-) | 02:02 |
| greg-g | I have an update | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | greg-g: go for it | 02:02 |
| greg-g | pretty simple: I will more likely be able to make it to UDS, my work's In Town Week was cancelled | 02:03 |
| greg-g | :) | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | yay! | 02:03 |
| greg-g | now all that is left to keep me away is a 4 month old :) | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | well, you can do half days, or just come to the evening events (babies welcome!) | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | there actually have been a few babies coming to UDS sessions, but they were very quiet | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | I guess we can start with UDS stuff since we're on that topic | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/7052367909/ | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | these "I'm a local" pins came in this week :) | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | the idea is that those of us willing and able to give "local stuff" information to UDS attendees will wear them so then people can ask us about transit, sight-seeing and other local stuff | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | even if you're not an absolute expert, you'll probably know who to ask or where to look for the answer | 02:06 |
| akk | cool! | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | we've also been putting together a local transit page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Q/PublicTransit | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | huge thanks to eps for his help on this, he's a public transit encyclopedia :) | 02:07 |
| eps | hee hee | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | we also have this page still coming together: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UDS-Q | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | for nighttime events or anything else we wish to plan | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | I'm going to blog about it soon and maybe some people will tell me what they'd most like to see so I can follow-up with people who put stuff on the wiki | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | anyone else have UDS stuff? it's still a month away, we have time :) | 02:09 |
| akk | Registration isn't open yet, is it? I haven't seen any announcements about that. | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | it is | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | I think the only announcement was in the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter a few weeks ago | 02:10 |
| akk | I haven't done a UDS before so I don't know how it works ... I was hoping something would be announced on our list for those of us new to it. | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | ok, I can write an email :) | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | #action pleia2 to write mail to list with FAQ and registration info for UDS | 02:11 |
| akk | Thanks! | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | #topic 12.04 release events | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | so, we already talked about this some at our last meeting (when I was taking the meeting on my phone from my soon to be mother-in-law's living room in philadelphia :)) | 02:12 |
| pleia2 | we only really have the standard SF Thirsty Bear event so far: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1615/detail/ | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | eps had talked about a quieter event in SF too, which I'm thinking we may want to do that weekend | 02:13 |
| eps | Is parking still free on Sundays? (sigh) | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | I think so | 02:13 |
| eps | Not for long, if local politicians get their way :-( | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | yeah :\ | 02:14 |
| akk | Wow, a lot of required irrelevant fields for UDS like arrival/departure info. | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | I expect most people would take MUNI though, since it stops right there | 02:14 |
| * akk tries to remember when she last arrived in California | 02:14 | |
| pleia2 | akk: hah, yeah, well most people aren't locals :) | 02:14 |
| akk | Maybe not, but why is all that required? Including things like passport expiry date. | 02:15 |
| pleia2 | let me grab what I put for my arrival and departure times (there is a limit) | 02:15 |
| akk | Many USians don't even have a passport. | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | passport info wasn't a requried field when I filled it out, that's odd since a lot of US folks are coming | 02:16 |
| akk | Maybe * doesn't mean required like it does on most forms. I'll try leaving them all blank. | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | you can put arrival at 09:00 EDT on Monday, 2010-10-25 and departure 17:00 EDT on Friday, 2010-10-29 | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | err | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | I am looking at the wrong UDS | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-q | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | there, start and end times are there, you can use those :) | 02:17 |
| akk | Wow, that one's MUCH easier! | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | you'll want to do the proper register form though | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | the register form will get you added automatically on launchpad, but if you join directly on launchpad you won't get properly registered | 02:18 |
| akk | Now I'm really confused. Which one is the proper form? | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ | 02:19 |
| akk | Maybe we should do this outside the meeting. | 02:19 |
| akk | (But it is probably relevant for most locals.) | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | I was just giving the uds-q link so you could grab the start and end dates for the form | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | anyway, someone on the Noisebridge list also randomly suggested having an Ubuntu installfest, someone else suggested talking to us, so I followed up with the mail I Cc:ed to our list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2012-April/001929.html | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | no reply yet, we'll see where it goes | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | with all this release and UDS stuff, I don't have time to plan an installfest too, so it would be great if the noisebridge folks could do the heavy lifting there | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | (or someone else here :)) | 02:21 |
| eps | akk: visitors from some countries are required to have six months validity on their passports beyond their planned return date | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | ah, good point, maybe there was some incident where someone got stuck ;) | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | the only other thing I really have is SF Ubuntu Hour and Debian Dinner this week: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1657/detail/ | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | Wednesday, 6-9 | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | anyone else have anything? | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | ok, I think we wrap up then | 02:26 |
| pleia2 | thanks greg-g, akk and eps :) | 02:26 |
| eps | Our next meeting is on the 22th [sic] according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam | 02:26 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:26 | |
| pleia2 | #endmeeting | 02:27 |
| jtatum | Thanks, pleia2 | 02:27 |
| eps | (Can that be corrected to 22nd?) | 02:27 |
| greg-g | thanks pleia2 (sorry, Rowan distracted me) | 02:27 |
| greg-g | eps: its a wiki :) | 02:28 |
| eps | greg-g: a wiki I'm not allowed to edit. | 02:29 |
| greg-g | por que? no LP account? .... oh, heh, immutable | 02:29 |
| eps | No one has ever been able to explain it ... my LP ID works everywhere else, just not there. | 02:29 |
| pleia2 | greg-g: most people can edit it just fine, eps just can't use his lp account to log into the wiki | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | philipballew_: you good to do post-meeting tasks again this week? :) | 02:46 |
| * pleia2 wanders off to grocery store | 02:46 | |
| philipballew_ | yeah pleia2 !!! | 02:47 |
