[00:01] Hey, eight o'clock [00:01] Bah, I'm going to SF :( [00:01] bregma: Really? What's up? [00:01] Ah, personally, I'd probably do the UDS thing. [00:02] just changing sessions [00:02] bilal, bregma: we're all jealous of your UDSness. [00:02] * DarwinSurvivor is here [00:02] Hello! [00:03] BobJonkman, KombuchaKip, DarwinSurvivor, mimcpher: Hi! :D [00:03] I'm Bob Jonkman, out for dinner wit [00:03] dscassel: What can we do for you? [00:03] Feel free to introduce yourself. Who are you, where are you and what do you do on/for/with Ubuntu? [00:03] KombuchaKip: Monthly IRC meeting. :) [00:04] Agenda here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-05-08 [00:04] with my in-laws. Will be mostly observing [00:05] I'm Darcy in Waterloo (well, Kitchener at the moment) [00:05] and I'm loCo contact for Ubuntu canada. [00:05] I'm Matthew McPherrin, and I run an ubuntu mirror / free software stuff as part of the Waterloo Computer Science Club [00:05] Woo! Calum T Dalek, represent! [00:05] out for dinner with inlaws [00:06] will be observing, not chatting [00:06] hi, I'm Stephen Webb, I'm at UDS right now nor Oakland, CA but normally located up the Ottawa Valley [00:07] 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] I'm Doug I'm a brainstorm moderator and have recently started helping in #ubuntu. [00:08] dscassel: UDS is ongoing :-) [00:08] bregma: How's UDS? :) ANything exciting? [00:08] lots of server-side stuff, not my main area of interest [00:08] txwikinger: Yeah, I've been dropping in and out of sessions. (mostly community, but some desktop) [00:09] dscassel There is a Kubuntu Active Plasma session scheduled now [00:10] 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] I think the desktop focus for Quantal is going to be refining the theming and styling [00:11] the "cool" multi-core server was an ARM-based server, I think, so it uses less power [00:12] if you need a render farm in your living room or something [00:14] bregma: I'll be interested to see what happens with the HUD... [00:14] Anyway, I should probably get on with the meeting. [00:14] Upcoming events! [00:14] As always, watch http://loco.ubuntu.com/ [00:15] Er, watch http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca [00:15] Anyone from Ubuntu Quebec here? [00:16] I had an awesome release party. Photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntucanada/ [00:17] lag lag lag on this phone [00:17] genii-around says turnout was down in Toronto, but he didn't have time to promote. Still, parties are always good. [00:18] BobJonkman: What are you using for a client? [00:18] Yay for dscassel's parties! [00:19] * BobJonkman is using yaaic on phone .. [00:19] Any plans for multi-cultural festival? [00:20] On the mailing list, rrnwexec suggested hosting parties divorced to release (computers are banned), focusing on bringing in new people. [00:20] txwikinger: Not from me. Interested in doing something? :) [00:20] Have to see.. very busy [00:20] txwikinger: I can relate. :) [00:20] Nobody stops anybody from having any parties [00:21] So I am not really sure what that has to do with Ubuntu [00:21] 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] I don't tend to go to those sort of parties. :) [00:22] Well.. I would like to know how many people use Ubuntu after such a party [00:22] I do not have any problems with such parties... I just think it has nothing to do with Ubuntu [00:23] 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] That does not preclude that I meet people and sometime in the future I invite them to an Ubuntu event [00:24] So.. all power to you, but what does it has to do with Ubuntu? [00:24] 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] Well.. also.. what is the success criteria [00:25] Does he track the increase of Ubuntu users? [00:25] Dunno. [00:26] If we do an install fest or a release party.. we give support so we have a success criteria [00:26] BobJonkman: Who's "Ade" (our team reports reporter) [00:27] txwikinger: And cake! [00:27] Yeah! [00:28] I'd love to set up a booth at the multi-cultural fest, but I'm running a bit ragged lately. [00:28] When is it, anyway? [00:28] No idea [00:28] I always forget until it is happening [00:29] http://www.kwmc.on.ca/html/festival.html [00:29] 23/24 June [00:29] My parents are visiting that weekend. :/ Also my birthday party... [00:30] Hey.. a party :-) [00:30] so the party's at dscassel's? :D [00:31] but the food is better at the festival [00:31] Sure! [00:34] txwikinger: Any update on the website? I haven't thought about it for a while. [00:34] Didn't even update it for the release. :/ [00:34] Nope. [00:34] We're still waiting on a theme for Drupal 7, right? [00:34] people seem only ask for permissions and otherwise disappear [00:34] yes.. [00:36] Hm. [00:38] I'd say we should do something about that, but I know I'm not going to do anything about it. :) [00:38] hehe [00:42] There's also team reports, which we should also do something about. [00:42] I'll probably get to that. In that I'll write a script which pulls events from the LoCo directory. [00:43] But it would be awesome if someone maintained them. [00:43] * dscassel hears crickets. [00:44] * bregma watches a tumbleweed roll by [00:44] lag? [00:44] * bregma see a potential volunteer [00:46] there's Ade, who was volunteered by Chaslinux last month [00:46] BobJonkman: How do you get a table at Multi-cultural festival? [00:47] Don't know. [00:47] Anita did that for Fair Vote... [00:48] Could you find out from Anita? [00:49] OK [00:50] Woo! [00:50] BobJonkman: I would like to meet this Ade person. :) [00:51] I'll invite hi [00:51] him to the next Ubuntu Hour [00:51] Again [00:54] BobJonkman: Cool. [00:55] BobJonkman: The next Kitchener hour isn't in the LoCo portal. Just sayin. :) [00:55] will fix shortly [00:56] Currently ignoring family at dinner [00:57] Thanks, Bob! :) [00:57] Anthing else anyone wants to talk about? [00:58] Nothing I can share at this time :-) [00:59] Okay! [00:59] Thanks, folks! [01:00] BTW! UDS! http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/ [01:00] It's now easier to find and listen in on sessions. === BobJonkman changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam channel | http://www.ubuntu-ca.org/ | Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Forum: http://canada.ubuntuforums.org/ | S.V.P utilisez #ubuntu-qc pour soutien en français | Channel logged at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Meeting info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings | Next meeting 12 June 5:00pm PDT, 8:00pm EDT, 9:30pm NDT [02:26] OK, dscassel: New events for Ubuntu Hour Kitchener and the next IRC meeting. http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca [02:26] 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! === PreciseOne is now known as IdleOne
