| KombuchaKip | Hey folks. My name's Kip. I'm the Avaneya project lead (www.avaneya.com), a cerebral / libre sci-fi game for Ubuntu. I'm based out of White Rock, British Columbia (near Vancouver). | 23:04 |
| dscassel_ | Hi I'm Darcy, II'm in Waterloo and I'm LoCo Contact for Ubuntu Canada. | 23:05 |
| === dscassel_ is now known as dscassel | ||
| BobJonkman | I'm Bob Jonkman, Ubuntu enthusiast from Elmira, currently hanging out at Almadina's Egyptian Cuisine restaurant for Ubuntu Hour | 23:05 |
| dscassel | And oh yeah, I'm with Bob, for our Ubuntu hour. :) | 23:07 |
| BobJonkman | There's a meeting agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-08-15 | 23:07 |
| dscassel | Looks like a slow night. :) | 23:08 |
| BobJonkman | It's the middle of summer, and a nice night. | 23:10 |
| BobJonkman | Everybody's camping | 23:10 |
| BobJonkman | Everybody *else* is camping | 23:10 |
| FiReSTaRT | hello ladies and gents, just a quick hello from Ilija, casual Ubuntu user on the work desktop, unless you count my main desktop which uses a Ubuntu-based derivative :P | 23:12 |
| dscassel | Hi Ilija. :) | 23:12 |
| FiReSTaRT | hey Darcy, what's shakin? :) | 23:13 |
| dscassel | Anyone else who comes in is welcome to introduce themselves as well. Should probably get started. | 23:13 |
| dscassel | FiReSTaRT: Tired. Otherwise good. :) | 23:13 |
| dscassel | I hear from singpolyma that his Ubuntu install workshop went well. Not a huge turnout, but things were learned and insights were passed. | 23:14 |
| BobJonkman | Sadly, I missed it... | 23:14 |
| FiReSTaRT | any focus on secure boot-enabled devices? | 23:14 |
| dscassel | Lack of turnout was largely due to lack of advertising, I believe. | 23:14 |
| dscassel | FiReSTaRT: Are there any yet? This was pretty theoretical, so he might have touched on it. | 23:15 |
| dscassel | I couldn't be tehre, so I can't say for sure. | 23:15 |
| FiReSTaRT | i'm not sure either but it's definitely a concern | 23:15 |
| FiReSTaRT | ubuntu installs are stupid-easy as they are now | 23:15 |
| FiReSTaRT | but secure boot could complicate things for Joe "My Cupholder's Broken" Schmoe | 23:16 |
| dscassel | His idea was to step through an install, but also talk about what was happening under the covers. | 23:16 |
| dscassel | His pitch was "people don't even know that you *can* install an operating system." | 23:17 |
| dscassel | FiReSTaRT: Yup, we're going to hav eto see how tha tpans out. You've read the Ubuntu statement abuot what the plans are, I assume? | 23:18 |
| FiReSTaRT | good pitch considering the category of upcoming new users that will be coming in droves and mostly flocking to the ubuntu brand | 23:18 |
| FiReSTaRT | darcy: nope but i'll give it a whirl now :) | 23:18 |
| FiReSTaRT | ahh ok there will be a key.. not too surprising | 23:19 |
| FiReSTaRT | but no grub2 :( | 23:20 |
| dscassel | Yeah, I'm fairly confident Mr Cupholder Schmoe will be accommodated, but there are concerns from the Free Software community about how Ubuntu is going to handle it. | 23:21 |
| BobJonkman | Something better than Grub2, I hope | 23:21 |
| BobJonkman | And System Administrator Appreciation Day Dinner was a success: http://bob.jonkman.ca/blogs/2012/08/14/sysadminday-dinner-pictures/ | 23:22 |
| dscassel | Yay! | 23:25 |
| FiReSTaRT | good stuff | 23:25 |
| BobJonkman | Mostly WIndows admins, but at least one other Linux admin! | 23:25 |
| FiReSTaRT | cent? | 23:28 |
| BobJonkman | Maybe. Don't recall. Tim's a KWLUG member,so I can ask him at the next meeting | 23:29 |
| FiReSTaRT | sorry gents unexpected visitor gotta split | 23:29 |
| dscassel | The KW Ubuntu Hours are still going strong, although bot are switching venues. | 23:30 |
| dscassel | No problem, FiReSTaRT | 23:30 |
| * dscassel had to switch Internet connections. | 23:30 | |
| dscassel | The Global Jam is coming up Sept. 7-9. | 23:32 |
| dscassel | I haven't confirmed our plans yet, but I'm guessing Sept. 8 at 4pm in Kwartzlab. | 23:33 |
| BobJonkman | Yay! I'll work on LoCo event entries. | 23:34 |
| dscassel | t may be a somewhat laid back affair, as I have several other things to plan for... | 23:35 |
| BobJonkman | Software Freedom Day in KW will be on 22 September, run by The Working Centre. It's a week later than the official SFD to avoid conflict with other KW events | 23:38 |
| * BobJonkman just received official Ubuntu CDs for distribution at SFD | 23:39 | |
| dscassel | Release party is coming up, but we'll talk about that next month.... | 23:41 |
| dscassel | (or Iwill... i fyou want, you can...) | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman | Release party in October; FSOSS in October. They can wait for a month when we may have some more activity in the meeting | 23:42 |
| dscassel | I have a feeling I won't be going to FSOSS. They've gone back to a weekday schedule. | 23:43 |
| BobJonkman | I confess I've been slack on Team Reports and even the last meeting's minutes. | 23:46 |
| BobJonkman | I see meetingology is in the room; wish I'd learned to use it before the meeting | 23:46 |
| BobJonkman | Thanx for that by way, IdleOne | 23:46 |
| dscassel | Just pinged ubuntu-locoteams to see if we need to do reports. | 23:47 |
| dscassel | Re: website, I haven't heard anything from txwikinger at all. | 23:48 |
| dscassel | If we have volunteers, of course, he's willing to hand them the keys. | 23:48 |
| dscassel | In other news, I found out recently that Charles McColm (chaslinux), the guy who runs the Kitchener ubuntu hour, is a regular contributor to Full Circle magazine. | 23:51 |
| BobJonkman | How enamoured are we of using Drupal on the http://ubuntu-ca.org site? | 23:52 |
| dscassel | Unless anyone has anything (anyone?) that pretty much does it. | 23:55 |
| BobJonkman | I think that does it, then... | 23:56 |
| BobJonkman | Next meeting? | 23:56 |
| dscassel | Next Ubuntu hour! 19th Sept. | 23:58 |
