[23:01] We're on! Just waiting for Darcy's shawarma to arrive... [23:03] Hey everyone, meeting time! khoover ryanakca zul sipherdee dscassel_ jlamothe willwh_ FiReSTaRT bregma KombuchaKip jstacey mars DarwinSurvivor bilal IdleOne egerlach Jaguar azend txwikinger lubotu1 cyphermox [23:04] 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). [23:05] Hi I'm Darcy, II'm in Waterloo and I'm LoCo Contact for Ubuntu Canada. === dscassel_ is now known as dscassel [23:05] I'm Bob Jonkman, Ubuntu enthusiast from Elmira, currently hanging out at Almadina's Egyptian Cuisine restaurant for Ubuntu Hour [23:07] And oh yeah, I'm with Bob, for our Ubuntu hour. :) [23:07] There's a meeting agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-08-15 [23:08] Looks like a slow night. :) [23:10] It's the middle of summer, and a nice night. [23:10] Everybody's camping [23:10] Everybody *else* is camping [23:12] 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] Hi Ilija. :) [23:13] hey Darcy, what's shakin? :) [23:13] Anyone else who comes in is welcome to introduce themselves as well. Should probably get started. [23:13] FiReSTaRT: Tired. Otherwise good. :) [23:14] 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] Sadly, I missed it... [23:14] any focus on secure boot-enabled devices? [23:14] Lack of turnout was largely due to lack of advertising, I believe. [23:15] FiReSTaRT: Are there any yet? This was pretty theoretical, so he might have touched on it. [23:15] I couldn't be tehre, so I can't say for sure. [23:15] i'm not sure either but it's definitely a concern [23:15] ubuntu installs are stupid-easy as they are now [23:16] but secure boot could complicate things for Joe "My Cupholder's Broken" Schmoe [23:16] His idea was to step through an install, but also talk about what was happening under the covers. [23:17] His pitch was "people don't even know that you *can* install an operating system." [23:18] 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] good pitch considering the category of upcoming new users that will be coming in droves and mostly flocking to the ubuntu brand [23:18] darcy: nope but i'll give it a whirl now :) [23:19] ahh ok there will be a key.. not too surprising [23:20] but no grub2 :( [23:21] 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] Something better than Grub2, I hope [23:22] And System Administrator Appreciation Day Dinner was a success: http://bob.jonkman.ca/blogs/2012/08/14/sysadminday-dinner-pictures/ [23:25] Yay! [23:25] good stuff [23:25] Mostly WIndows admins, but at least one other Linux admin! [23:28] cent? [23:29] Maybe. Don't recall. Tim's a KWLUG member,so I can ask him at the next meeting [23:29] sorry gents unexpected visitor gotta split [23:30] The KW Ubuntu Hours are still going strong, although bot are switching venues. [23:30] No problem, FiReSTaRT [23:30] * dscassel had to switch Internet connections. [23:32] The Global Jam is coming up Sept. 7-9. [23:33] I haven't confirmed our plans yet, but I'm guessing Sept. 8 at 4pm in Kwartzlab. [23:34] Yay! I'll work on LoCo event entries. [23:35] t may be a somewhat laid back affair, as I have several other things to plan for... [23:38] 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 [23:39] * BobJonkman just received official Ubuntu CDs for distribution at SFD [23:41] Release party is coming up, but we'll talk about that next month.... [23:41] (or Iwill... i fyou want, you can...) [23:42] Release party in October; FSOSS in October. They can wait for a month when we may have some more activity in the meeting [23:43] I have a feeling I won't be going to FSOSS. They've gone back to a weekday schedule. [23:46] I confess I've been slack on Team Reports and even the last meeting's minutes. [23:46] I see meetingology is in the room; wish I'd learned to use it before the meeting [23:46] Thanx for that by way, IdleOne [23:47] Just pinged ubuntu-locoteams to see if we need to do reports. [23:48] Re: website, I haven't heard anything from txwikinger at all. [23:48] If we have volunteers, of course, he's willing to hand them the keys. [23:51] 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. [23:52] How enamoured are we of using Drupal on the http://ubuntu-ca.org site? [23:55] Unless anyone has anything (anyone?) that pretty much does it. [23:56] I think that does it, then... [23:56] Next meeting? [23:58] Next Ubuntu hour! 19th Sept. === 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 19 September 4:00pm PDT, 7:00pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT
