| BobJonkman | 19:55 | 00:06 |
| BobJonkman | By way of introduction, I'm Bob Jonkman, your temporary fill-in host for this evening's meeting | 00:08 |
| BobJonkman | I'm an Ubuntu enthusiast in Elmira, just north of Waterloo, ON | 00:08 |
| mimcpher | I'm mimcpher, and I run an Ubuntu mirror located in Waterloo, ON | 00:10 |
| BobJonkman | Hi there, mimcpher! | 00:11 |
| BobJonkman | Did you get your Ubuntu CDs replenished? | 00:11 |
| mimcpher | yeah, dscassel dropped off a stack | 00:11 |
| BobJonkman | Should be some fresh ones coming out in a few weeks | 00:12 |
| BobJonkman | Have I ever met you (mimcpher) at an Ubuntu Hour ? | 00:13 |
| mimcpher | Since I've never been to one, i'd assume No. | 00:13 |
| BobJonkman | :) | 00:13 |
| Lipeolive | Hi to all. | 00:14 |
| BobJonkman | There's two coming up in KW in short order: Last Friday's one was postponed for Good Friday, now being held on Friday the 13th. | 00:14 |
| BobJonkman | Hi Lipeolive: Glad you could make it | 00:15 |
| BobJonkman | Kitchener Ubuntu Hour: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1610/detail/ | 00:15 |
| BobJonkman | Followed hot-on-the-heels by Waterloo's Ubuntu Hour, next week Wednesday: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1622/detail/ | 00:16 |
| BobJonkman | There's another couple of Ubuntu Hours in Quebec listed on the Google calendar | 00:16 |
| mimcpher | Hmm, I might be able to hit the Wednesday one. | 00:16 |
| BobJonkman | Walking distance to UofW | 00:17 |
| BobJonkman | I'm curious if the two Ubuntu Hours on the calendar are still being held. Can anyone from Quebec verify? | 00:18 |
| BobJonkman | It'd be great to have a few more Ubuntu Hours across the country. | 00:19 |
| BobJonkman | All it takes is for someone to say "I'm having an Ubuntu Hour", then go hang out somewhere at a coffee shop, lunch counter or bar for an hour or so. | 00:19 |
| BobJonkman | If you promise to send him pictures, then dscassel will send you some original Ubuntu CDs to hand out. | 00:20 |
| mimcpher | Does anyone KW around have an Ubuntu banner or something? | 00:21 |
| === fellipe is now known as lipeolive | ||
| BobJonkman | txwikinger has a banner | 00:22 |
| bilal | So, is the KW chapter officially the most active chapter of Ubuntu Canada? :) | 00:22 |
| BobJonkman | We got it for the GNU/Linuxfest in 2010, or maybe 2009 | 00:22 |
| BobJonkman | It doesn't see much use | 00:22 |
| charm | Bob we should borrow it for SoftwareFreedomDay.... | 00:23 |
| BobJonkman | Hi bilal! There's a pretty active chapter in Vancouver. | 00:23 |
| === charm is now known as chaslinux | ||
| BobJonkman | Nice to see you, charm1 | 00:23 |
| chaslinux | oops old nick | 00:23 |
| BobJonkman | And nice to see you too, chaslinux | 00:23 |
| * BobJonkman will do anything to boost meeting attendance | 00:23 | |
| BobJonkman | bilal: The Vancouver chapter has their own LoCo | 00:24 |
| chaslinux | We just need to plan more in advance and find some activities to make it more fun. | 00:24 |
| BobJonkman | As does Quebec | 00:24 |
| chaslinux | Maybe a computer smash... sledgehammer... but we might need to look into liability, etc... | 00:25 |
| BobJonkman | chaslinux: making Software Freedom Day more fun, you mean | 00:25 |
| bilal | BobJonkman: Yeah, I know that, and rrnwexec heads it I guess | 00:25 |
| BobJonkman | A computer smash does sound like fun. | 00:26 |
| BobJonkman | Can't get more free from computers than that | 00:26 |
| chaslinux | Printer smash maybe... we have a lot more printers and they're worth a whole lot less... | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman | chaslinux hosts this Friday's Ubuntu Hour, BTW... | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman | Speaking of fun... | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman | There be parties! | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman | Ubuntu Release Parties! | 00:28 |
| chaslinux | Yes, Friday the 13th... remind me tomorrow I should make a poster or something.... | 00:28 |
| BobJonkman | The next Ubuntu Release is coming out on 26 April, and I hear genii-around is planning a party in Toronto that night | 00:29 |
| BobJonkman | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1659/detail/ | 00:30 |
| BobJonkman | There was talk on the mailing list about another Toronto party, organized by Sammy Lao of FreeGeekToronto | 00:31 |
| BobJonkman | But this might be the same one. | 00:31 |
| BobJonkman | I'm planning on travelling to Toronto for that, leaving from Kitchener around 6:00pm. I'll have room in my car for two passengers, if anyone is interested. | 00:32 |
| chaslinux | What day of the week is that Bob? | 00:32 |
| mimcpher | I might want to attend. | 00:32 |
| BobJonkman | I think dscassel called dibs around 10:00am for one spot | 00:33 |
| chaslinux | hmmmn... so no party here?? | 00:33 |
| BobJonkman | The Toronto party is on Thursday the 26th. | 00:33 |
| BobJonkman | There's a Kitchener party at Kwartzlab (the local hackerspace) on Saturday the 28th | 00:34 |
| BobJonkman | Starts at 2:00pm, doesn't end until dscassel throws me out | 00:34 |
| BobJonkman | Ubuntu Release Parties are only slightly more involved than Ubuntu Hours. | 00:35 |
| BobJonkman | You simply declare you're having one, find a venue, and invite hundreds of your best friends and strangers :-) | 00:36 |
| BobJonkman | Kwartzlab goes all out, with cake and devilled eggs and pizza, but it can be as simple as a couple of buddies sharing a single cup of coffee and asking "So what's a Pangolin anyway?" | 00:37 |
| BobJonkman | At Kwartzlab we'll have an installfest. Being a hackerspace there's lots of tech support | 00:38 |
| pangolin | Well, I'm a father of two and separated. I like Ubuntu and pasta. Pizza is top 5. | 00:38 |
| pangolin | :) | 00:38 |
| * BobJonkman no longer wonders what a Pangolin might be... | 00:39 | |
| BobJonkman | Hi pangolin! | 00:39 |
| pangolin | Glad i could clear that up | 00:39 |
| pangolin | hello BobJonkman and everybody! | 00:39 |
| bregma | I'll ask the usual question: are people running 12.04 yet? | 00:39 |
| mimcpher | I've got two systems running 12.04 so far. | 00:40 |
| pangolin | I have for about a month or so | 00:40 |
| mimcpher | upgrading the rest after exams. | 00:40 |
| BobJonkman | I have an aborted install on a semi-broken laptop. Doesn't count. | 00:40 |
| BobJonkman | I'll be upgrading three servers to Ubuntu 12.04 Server Edition, probably the Sunday after the release party | 00:41 |
| BobJonkman | If anyone else is planning a Release Party, or even if you have one at the last minute, let me know and I'll add it to the list at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | 00:43 |
| BobJonkman | It's a short list, right now | 00:43 |
| BobJonkman | Having these events listed on the LoCo calendar is useful for ... | 00:44 |
| BobJonkman | LoCo Renewal! | 00:44 |
| BobJonkman | (which happens to be the next thing on the Agenda) | 00:44 |
| BobJonkman | dscassel was saying that we need to have Team Reports to help us qualify for renewal. | 00:45 |
| BobJonkman | The questions on the agenda are the ones I put there, so I don't know the answers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-04-10 | 00:45 |
| chaslinux | Bob we should really have some always on machine in the shop dedicated to events, etc... kinda like the twitter ticker in @kwartzlab... | 00:45 |
| BobJonkman | That's a good idea. | 00:46 |
| BobJonkman | Keep an eye on the RSS feeds, the calendar events, the idle chatter in this room... | 00:47 |
| BobJonkman | :D | 00:47 |
| BobJonkman | Some of the renewal questions I was asking are: | 00:47 |
| BobJonkman | What is the deadline for renewal? | 00:47 |
| BobJonkman | What is the actual renewal process? Who has to push what paper? | 00:48 |
| BobJonkman | And do we have a volunteer to do Team Reports? dscassel is pretty full with Kwartzlab and other local stuff | 00:48 |
| chaslinux | We could make it a part of the new guy's duties (Ade is his name)... he's on a Trios placement so we have him for a couple of months at least. | 00:49 |
| BobJonkman | Yay! We have a volunteer! | 00:50 |
| BobJonkman | There's a guide to preparing Team Reports at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo | 00:51 |
| BobJonkman | Team Reports need to be done back to November 2011. Most of the stuff can be taken from the LoCo calendar and old meeting minutes | 00:51 |
| BobJonkman | I was going to have a look at those pages, but if we have a warm body at Computer Recycling that'd be great! | 00:52 |
| BobJonkman | Finally, I was hoping txwikinger would be able to grant someone access to update http://ubuntu-ca.org | 00:54 |
| chaslinux | Hmmn... perhaps, not sure if he'll be capable since he has 0 Linux experience. | 00:54 |
| BobJonkman | The Team Reports are administratium. | 00:55 |
| BobJonkman | A bit of Wiki skills required. Learn those on the job. | 00:55 |
| chaslinux | Yeah, good for his resume too.... | 00:55 |
| BobJonkman | No actual PC building or OS installation necessary for TeamReports. | 00:55 |
| chaslinux | But that's the fun part... ;-) | 00:56 |
| BobJonkman | Yeah, it's great resume material. "Contributed to the Canadian Local Community Ubuntu Team - here's a link..." | 00:56 |
| chaslinux | Well I need to stop looking at a screen... see you in the morning Bob. | 00:57 |
| chaslinux | Night all... | 00:57 |
| BobJonkman | So, if someone sees txwikinger... It would be good to have http://ubuntu-ca.org updated with the current release party info | 00:57 |
| BobJonkman | Good night chaslinux. | 00:58 |
| BobJonkman | And that just about concludes the meeting hour. | 00:58 |
| bilal | Thank you BobJonkman for chairing! | 00:58 |
| BobJonkman | You're welcome1 | 00:59 |
| BobJonkman | ! | 00:59 |
| BobJonkman | Hope to see you at one of the local Ubuntu Hours | 00:59 |
| BobJonkman | Or the Release Party for sure! | 00:59 |
| bilal | Kinda unlikely since I'm really busy for most of the day, either on school work or Canonical work | 00:59 |
| bilal | But yeah, would be great! | 01:00 |
| * bilal might come to the release party | 01:00 | |
| BobJonkman | Yay! | 01:01 |
| willwh | hi guys sorry am late | 01:02 |
| willwh | :) | 01:02 |
| willwh | I am also running 12.04 | 01:02 |
| willwh | on the laptop and some VMs at work | 01:02 |
| BobJonkman | Hi willwh. We've just wrapped up | 01:02 |
| willwh | it PWNS my laptop battery compared to lubuntu 11.10 | 01:03 |
| willwh | my lappy is a little older but the power draw jump is quite considerable | 01:03 |
| willwh | but I am running ubuntu 12.04 - so they are a bit different :) | 01:03 |
| BobJonkman | You'll be able to catch up at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/11/%23ubuntu-ca.html as soon as the bot catches up | 01:03 |
| willwh | 24/7 irssi ftw | 01:04 |
| willwh | I never miss a beat | 01:04 |
| BobJonkman | 12.04 is worse for power? | 01:04 |
| willwh | and I drop parts and joins | 01:04 |
| willwh | BobJonkman: well, this is a bit of a bad comparison | 01:04 |
| BobJonkman | That's too bad. My laptop isn't getting any younger | 01:04 |
| willwh | Lubuntu 11.10 vs Ubuntu 12.04 | 01:04 |
| willwh | and it's an old 8 cell battery | 01:05 |
| willwh | from a full charge lubuntu would get about 40mins | 01:05 |
| willwh | under 12.04 I get 14 | 01:05 |
| willwh | lol | 01:05 |
