LinuxMonkey:)23:10
SrRobotHey!23:10
IdleOnehello23:11
wylde_o/23:11
BobJonkmanWe're here.  Since some of us are doing IRC In Real Life just before Ubuntu Hour Waterloo we're likely to be a bit distracted23:12
BobJonkmanSo, was anyone at UDS back in May?23:12
IdleOneI sorta was23:13
wylde_remotely I was :) IRC and audio feeds.23:13
IdleOneI did a skype call with AlanBell during one of the sessions. I was on the big screen23:13
dscasselSweet.23:14
dscasselI know bilal was there.23:14
dscasselbregma probably was too.23:14
IdleOnewait, it a was a google video23:14
IdleOnenot skype23:14
dscasselIdleOne: Ah, I was in a session where they said they were going to try to set up a google hangout, but I didn't think it actually happened.23:15
dscasselWhas this on the Friday?23:15
IdleOnedscassel: it didn't turn out to be a hangout, was just me23:15
IdleOneI think it was on a Thursday, well it was a hangout in the sense that Alan and I were both in the hangout23:16
dscasselI see. :)23:16
genii-aroundafk 3-5 minutes. I'll catch up on scroll when I get back.23:17
* IdleOne takes genii-around's cup23:17
dscasselIdleOne: Do you know what's going on with the Montreal Hours?23:17
dscasselWe've got them in the ubuntu-ca calendar, but we're not sure if they're still happening.23:18
IdleOneThe one that MagicFab was doing weekly has sorta stopped, he's busy with FSF and real life but I know cyphermox mentioned yesterday that he is working on getting them started up again23:18
BobJonkmanI distributed some Ubuntu 12.04 CDs at Linuxcaffe in Toronto last month.  Called it a Release Party ;)  Sammy from FreeGeekToronto was there, and Gord Campbell from Full Circle Magazine, and a gentleman named Larry.  Gave away some CDs, but Linuxcaffe is no longer distributing distro CDs. All their Linux reference texts are gone, too.23:19
IdleOnebtw Quebec LoCo is official again as of yesterday thanks to komputes and cyphermox23:19
dscasselNice. :)23:19
IdleOneyup :)23:20
dscasselI'll pester cyphermox about the hours some other time... :)23:21
IdleOneyeah, I don't have any details about it yet.23:21
IdleOneThis isn't really .ca related but I am now on the Memberships board :)23:22
LinuxMonkeyCongrats IdleOne23:22
wylde_congrats! :)23:22
IdleOneThank you23:22
genii-aroundBack23:22
* LinuxMonkey passes IdleOne a beer :)23:22
dscasselSweet!23:22
* IdleOne gives genii-around back his cup23:22
genii-aroundIdleOne: Hah, thanks23:23
* dscassel is trying to convince BobJonkman to get his membership. :)23:23
BobJonkmanIdleOne: Sounds Cool!  So what do you do on the Membership Board?23:23
* BobJonkman is gobsmacked23:23
IdleOneBobJonkman: basically we decide if a users contributions are sufficient and sustained enough to merit them being official Ubuntu members23:24
genii-aroundI have a Toronto Freenet board meeting which will start sometime between now and 7:45-8:00. I'll let you know when i called up there and leave my client running to check scroll when I get back to my computer.23:24
IdleOne!membership23:24
lubotu1Ubuntu Membership means recognition of a significant and sustained contribution to Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community.  For more info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership23:24
dscasselLinuxMonkey: Tell me about this Moncton LUG...23:26
dscassel:)23:27
IdleOneBobJonkman: The kicker is that when you do become a member they expect even more work from you23:27
LinuxMonkeyWell. I just started the moncton lug again, for those of you who dont know were moncton is...its in NB.23:27
BobJonkman:D Just like every other place that depends on volunteers23:27
IdleOne-----------------------------------------------------------------> that way23:27
LinuxMonkeyI got a website up and running and new mailing list setup at monctonlug.ca23:28
LinuxMonkeypast few weeks havent had much time to dedicate to it as much but were trying to kick start it again and be part of Ubuntu Canada while were at it :)23:28
dscasselLinuxMonkey: Awesome!23:29
LinuxMonkeyThats about it not much to say about moncton.lol23:29
IdleOneDoes NB have a Ubuntu LoCo team?23:29
dscasselWell, by being here, you're as much a part of Ubuntu Canada as you need to be. (Although it's generally helpful to join the mailing list and the group on Launchpad)23:30
dscasselIdleOne: Canadian LoCo teams are Canada, Quebec and Vancouver.23:30
dscasselThe LoCo council seems to want to split Canada into provinces, but they haven't actually talked to us yet.23:30
LinuxMonkeyyep and im allready a part of Ubuntu Canada :)23:31
dscasselSo Canada would become Ontario, because that's pretty much where we've been doing stuff.23:31
BobJonkmanCurrent Canadian Team Chapters are listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam#Canadian_Team_Chapters23:31
dscasselIf they split Canada into provinces, LinuxMonkey would have to (or get to, depending on your point of view) start his own loco.23:32
IdleOneCan't wait for the referendum to split the qc loco and make it independent23:33
IdleOnelol23:33
wylde_lol23:33
dscasselHeh.23:33
LinuxMonkeyAnd for a small province like ours population wise would not be wise23:33
dscasselQuebec is already independant23:33
dscasselAs far as LoCos are concerned.23:33
dscasselWhich makes sense to me, since it primarily operates in French.23:34
IdleOneI see us all as part of the same family.23:34
IdleOneexcept better because here we actually tend to like each other23:34
LinuxMonkeyim also guessing im the only one here from NB :(23:34
dscasselAnd, well, Vancouver is Vancouver.23:35
IdleOneVancouver is made of Rock Stars23:35
LinuxMonkeydscassel: we didnt want their riots anyways :) lol just kidding23:35
IdleOneWho had riots?23:35
BobJonkmanIdleOne: That's pretty much what we decided amongst ourselves.  Even if the LoCo Council does want to split up Canada, I doubt that would change how we do things.23:36
IdleOneBobJonkman: I agree :)23:36
dscasselLinuxMonkey: You're the onoly New Brunswicker to admit it so fa' :)23:37
LinuxMonkeyI was born here, couldnt afford Ontario, So here i am again :)23:38
dscasselYeah, if they split Canada, I'm going to petition to keep the ubuntu-ca communication channels.23:38
dscasselTiny, province-specific email lists and IRC channels will just die off.23:39
BobJonkmanjust the fact that we're having regular IRC meetings shows a cohesiveness for the Canadian Team23:40
dscasselAnayway, back to Moncton!23:40
dscasselLinuxMonkey:  you should run events! :)23:40
dscasselThe easiest one is the Ubuntu Hour: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour23:41
BobJonkmanAnd that Ubuntu Hour Moncton could be the first meeting of the Moncton LUG23:41
LinuxMonkeydscassel: I was planing on getting something setup soon :)23:42
dscasselWhen you do, add it to the LoCo directory, here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca23:42
dscasselI'll probably blog about it. :)23:42
dscasselTake pictures and I'll send you Ubuntu CDs. :)23:43
LinuxMonkeyi'm also supposed to go hubcitylabs... their a hackerspace just started in moncton too. They offered to let me use their space for meetings and so on :) I have yet been able to go but hopefully this Saturday I will go meet up with them :)23:45
BobJonkmanHackerspaces are great place for Ubuntu events23:45
dscasselAwesome!23:45
* dscassel is president of a hackerspace. :D23:46
LinuxMonkeyI'm a bit sad that Ubuntu got rid of the ship it cd's I used to get hundreds and pass em out at events23:47
dscasselThat's what LoCos are for now. :)23:47
SrRobotHello.23:47
dscasselWe can get an event pack if you want to set up a table.23:47
genii-aroundSrRobot: Hello. Welcome to the Ubuntu Canada team meeting23:48
LinuxMonkeynice I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm gonna have to search the events in town to see if we have any tech related stuff coming in.23:49
dscasselSrRobot is sitting two seats to the right of me. :)23:49
LinuxMonkeyI doubt we have anything coming in but who knows. hehehe23:49
SrRobotdscassel is two seats from me ;)23:50
genii-aroundHeh!23:50
dscasselAnd, like I said, I'll send you (or anyone else in Canada) a pack of 10 CDs for photographic proof that they ran an Ubuntu event. :)23:51
genii-aroundLinuxMonkey: How many people currently are attending the Moncton meetings?23:52
dscasselMoving on, we still need to do team reports.  Anyone have a few spare minutes and want to help out?23:52
LinuxMonkeygenii-around: since the colapse of the old lug in 2004 ...none I'm starting it again :) we have yet to have a meeting but I got interest from approx 10 or so persons23:53
BobJonkmandscassel: Were you working on an automated reporting tool?23:53
genii-arounddscassel: I was just looking at the team reports from March and April ( which are the latest posted at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports ) .. we did stuff during that time like Ubuntu Hours and release parties but nothing there23:54
dscasselYeah, if someone's interested, I'll see if I can dig it up.23:54
dscasselgenii-around: I'm pretty sure I didn't do a report for March or April.23:56
dscasselWhen I was doing them, I was just going by what was on the LoCo directory and anything extra I could remember23:57
BobJonkmanCanadian Team Reports are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/TeamReports - last one from October 201123:57
