[01:58] <pleia2> meeting in a couple minutes :)
[02:00] <pleia2> #startmeeting
[02:00] <pleia2> who all is here for the meeting?
[02:01] <eps> eep!
[02:01]  * pleia2 takes that as a "me"
[02:01] <akk> o/
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <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 :)
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <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.
[02:10] <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 :)
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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 :))
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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 :)
[02:15] <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)
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <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 :)
[02:18] <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?
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <pleia2> (or someone else here :))
[02:22] <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 ;)
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <pleia2> anyone else have anything?
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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)
[02:28] <greg-g> eps: its a wiki :)
[02:29] <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.
[02:45] <pleia2> greg-g: most people can edit it just fine, eps just can't use his lp account to log into the wiki
[02:46] <pleia2> philipballew_: you good to do post-meeting tasks again this week? :)
[02:46]  * pleia2 wanders off to grocery store
[02:47] <philipballew_> yeah pleia2 !!!
