[00:01] <dscassel> bregma: Really? What's up?
[00:01] <dscassel> Ah, personally, I'd probably do the UDS thing.
[00:02] <bregma> just changing sessions
[00:02] <dscassel> bilal, bregma: we're all jealous of your UDSness.
[00:02]  * DarwinSurvivor is here
[00:02] <mimcpher> Hello!
[00:03] <dscassel> BobJonkman, KombuchaKip, DarwinSurvivor, mimcpher: Hi! :D
[00:03] <BobJonkman> I'm  Bob Jonkman, out for dinner wit
[00:03] <KombuchaKip> dscassel: What can we do for you?
[00:03] <dscassel> Feel free to introduce yourself. Who are you, where are you and what do you do on/for/with Ubuntu?
[00:03] <dscassel> KombuchaKip: Monthly IRC meeting. :)
[00:04] <dscassel> Agenda here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-05-08
[00:04] <BobJonkman> with my in-laws. Will be mostly observing
[00:05] <dscassel> I'm Darcy in Waterloo (well, Kitchener at the moment)
[00:05] <dscassel> and I'm loCo contact for Ubuntu canada.
[00:05] <mimcpher> I'm Matthew McPherrin, and I run an ubuntu mirror / free software stuff as part of the Waterloo Computer Science Club
[00:05] <dscassel> Woo! Calum T Dalek, represent!
[00:05] <BobJonkman> out for dinner with inlaws
[00:06] <BobJonkman> will be observing, not chatting
[00:06] <bregma> hi, I'm Stephen Webb, I'm at UDS right now nor Oakland, CA but normally located up the Ottawa Valley
[00:07] <KombuchaKip> My name's Kip. I'm project lead behind Avaneya, a free, commercial, cerebral science fiction game for GNU. (https://www.avaneya.com)
[00:08] <DarwinSurvivor> I'm Doug I'm a brainstorm moderator and have recently started helping in #ubuntu.
[00:08] <txwikinger> dscassel: UDS is ongoing :-)
[00:08] <dscassel> bregma: How's UDS? :) ANything exciting?
[00:08] <bregma> lots of server-side stuff, not my main area of interest
[00:08] <dscassel> txwikinger: Yeah, I've been dropping in and out of sessions. (mostly community, but some desktop)
[00:09] <txwikinger>  dscassel There is a Kubuntu Active Plasma session scheduled now
[00:10] <dscassel> bregma: I hear ya.  The big reveal in the keynote was a server with a lot of cores or something.  Which is cool, I guess.
[00:10] <bregma> I think the desktop focus for Quantal is going to be refining the theming and styling
[00:11] <bregma> the "cool" multi-core server was an ARM-based server, I think, so it uses less power
[00:12] <bregma> if you need a render farm in your living room or something
[00:14] <dscassel> bregma: I'll be interested to see what happens with the HUD...
[00:14] <dscassel> Anyway, I should probably get on with the meeting.
[00:14] <dscassel> Upcoming events!
[00:14] <dscassel> As always, watch http://loco.ubuntu.com/
[00:15] <dscassel> Er, watch http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca
[00:15] <dscassel> Anyone from Ubuntu Quebec here?
[00:16] <dscassel> I had an awesome release party. Photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntucanada/
[00:17] <BobJonkman> lag lag lag on this phone
[00:17] <dscassel> genii-around says turnout was down in Toronto, but he didn't have time to promote.  Still, parties are always good.
[00:18] <dscassel> BobJonkman: What are you using for a client?
[00:18] <BobJonkman> Yay for dscassel's parties!
[00:19]  * BobJonkman is using yaaic on phone ..
[00:19] <txwikinger> Any plans for multi-cultural festival?
[00:20] <dscassel> On the mailing list, rrnwexec suggested hosting parties divorced to release (computers are banned), focusing on bringing in new people.
[00:20] <dscassel> txwikinger: Not from me. Interested in doing something? :)
[00:20] <txwikinger> Have to see.. very busy
[00:20] <dscassel> txwikinger: I can relate. :)
[00:20] <txwikinger> Nobody stops anybody from having any parties
[00:21] <txwikinger> So I am not really sure what that has to do with Ubuntu
[00:21] <dscassel> txwikinger: I wouldn't know how to run something like that successfully.  Not without a lot of work (which I don't have time for) or help.
[00:22] <dscassel> I don't tend to go to those sort of parties. :)
[00:22] <txwikinger> Well.. I would like to know how many people use Ubuntu after such a party
[00:22] <txwikinger> I do not have any problems with such parties... I just think it has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[00:23] <txwikinger> I mean.. I go to Entrepreneurs meetings and do not use my computer there... but I do not do that as part of the Ubuntu LoCo
[00:24] <txwikinger> That does not preclude that I meet people and sometime in the future I invite them to an Ubuntu event
[00:24] <txwikinger> So.. all power to you, but what does it has to do with Ubuntu?
[00:24] <dscassel> There's something to be said for community-building. I can see that. I just don't know how what Randall's proposing would work. Like, what do you *do*?
[00:25] <txwikinger> Well.. also.. what is the success criteria
[00:25] <txwikinger> Does he track the increase of Ubuntu users?
[00:25] <dscassel> Dunno.
[00:26] <txwikinger> If we do an install fest or a release party.. we give support so we have a success criteria
[00:26] <dscassel> BobJonkman: Who's "Ade" (our team reports reporter)
[00:27] <dscassel> txwikinger: And cake!
[00:27] <txwikinger> Yeah!
[00:28] <dscassel> I'd love to set up a booth at the multi-cultural fest, but I'm running a bit ragged lately.
[00:28] <dscassel> When is it, anyway?
[00:28] <txwikinger> No idea
[00:28] <txwikinger> I always forget until it is happening
[00:29] <dscassel> http://www.kwmc.on.ca/html/festival.html
[00:29] <txwikinger> 23/24 June
[00:29] <dscassel> My parents are visiting that weekend. :/ Also my birthday party...
[00:30] <txwikinger> Hey.. a party :-)
[00:30] <DarwinSurvivor> so the party's at dscassel's? :D
[00:31] <txwikinger> but the food is better at the festival
[00:31] <dscassel> Sure!
[00:34] <dscassel> txwikinger: Any update on the website? I haven't thought about it for a while.
[00:34] <dscassel> Didn't even update it for the release. :/
[00:34] <txwikinger> Nope.
[00:34] <dscassel> We're still waiting on a theme for Drupal 7, right?
[00:34] <txwikinger> people seem only ask for permissions and otherwise disappear
[00:34] <txwikinger> yes..
[00:36] <dscassel> Hm.
[00:38] <dscassel> I'd say we should do something about that, but I know I'm not going to do anything about it. :)
[00:38] <txwikinger> hehe
[00:42] <dscassel> There's also team reports, which we should also do something about.
[00:42] <dscassel> I'll probably get to that.  In that I'll write a script which pulls events from the LoCo directory.
[00:43] <dscassel> But it would be awesome if someone maintained them.
[00:43]  * dscassel hears crickets.
[00:44]  * bregma watches a tumbleweed roll by
[00:44] <BobJonkman> lag?
[00:44]  * bregma see a potential volunteer
[00:46] <BobJonkman> there's Ade, who was volunteered by Chaslinux  last month
[00:46] <txwikinger> BobJonkman: How do you get a table at Multi-cultural festival?
[00:47] <BobJonkman> Don't know.
[00:47] <BobJonkman> Anita did that for Fair Vote...
[00:48] <txwikinger> Could you find out from Anita?
[00:49] <BobJonkman> OK
[00:50] <dscassel> Woo!
[00:50] <dscassel> BobJonkman: I would like to meet this Ade person. :)
[00:51] <BobJonkman> I'll invite hi
[00:51] <BobJonkman> him to the next Ubuntu Hour
[00:51] <BobJonkman> Again
[00:54] <dscassel> BobJonkman: Cool.
[00:55] <dscassel> BobJonkman: The next Kitchener hour isn't in the LoCo portal. Just sayin. :)
[00:55] <BobJonkman> will fix shortly
[00:56] <BobJonkman> Currently ignoring family at dinner
[00:57] <dscassel> Thanks, Bob! :)
[00:57] <dscassel> Anthing else anyone wants to talk about?
[00:58] <txwikinger> Nothing I can share at this time :-)
[00:59] <dscassel> Okay!
[00:59] <dscassel> Thanks, folks!
[01:00] <dscassel> BTW! UDS! http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/
[01:00] <dscassel> It's now easier to find and listen in on sessions.
[02:26] <BobJonkman> OK, dscassel: New events for Ubuntu Hour Kitchener and the next IRC meeting.  http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca
[02:26] <BobJonkman> The agenda for the next IRC meeting at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-06-12 could use some grooming
[02:26]  * BobJonkman hasn't done a Minutes summary for March, April or May.
[02:27]  * BobJonkman is feeling mighty guilty, seeing as how he volunteered for that job
[02:28]  * BobJonkman would really like to enlist the meetingology bot and make *him* do the minutes!
