| pleia2 | nothing on the agenda ;) | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | so, who all is here? | 02:00 |

| toddc | lurking | 02:01 |
| eps | huh? | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | #topic Ubuntu Global Jam | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | so we just had one event for the Global Jam this cycle | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | Wikimedia gave us space in downtown SF and Moka5 sponsored the pizza :) | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | had about 12 people come and go throughout the event, got to do testing, bug reporting | 02:04 |

| darthrobot | Title: [Quantal SF Ubuntu Global Jam - a set on Flickr] | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | I had some videos that I tried to start the event with that walked through how to do testing, but they turned out to be a bit slow for the audience so I showed clips and then just did other demos live | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | probably will just do live demos next time | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | everything else went pretty well :) | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | #topic Upcoming events | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | anyone have anything? | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | we didn't end up doing the Solano Stroll this year (it would have been today) since BerkeleyLUG wasn't participating and we usually tag along with them | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | so ideas for stuff to do this fall are welcome | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | (we didn't do the picnic this summer either, since it didn't happen!) | 02:08 |
| eps | September is San Francisco's warmest month. A BBQ wouldn't be out of the ordinary. | 02:08 |
| akk | so sad | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | the only event on loco.ubuntu.com right now is the SF Ubuntu Hour on Wednesday (no Debian dinner): http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1899/detail/ | 02:09 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Ubuntu Hour San Francisco | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal] | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | eps: indeed! | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | #topic Any other business | 02:12 |
| pleia2 | anyone have anything else? | 02:12 |
| pleia2 | anyone? :) | 02:15 |
| eps | Let's make some Ubuntu Hours happen, people. | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | mt view and pasadena have been doing good with theirs too | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | ok, I guess we can wrap up then | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | thanks everyone | 02:19 |

| toddc | nice job thanks for the hard work!! | 02:26 |

| philballew | with btfs, can that be installed on an older computer as well? | 18:54 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:55 |
| philballew | alright, i just figured i'd get my dumb question in early today! thank you pleia2 | 18:59 |
| pleia2 | bah, there are very few dumb questions :) | 19:02 |
| * greg-g just set up btrfs saturday night for a 2tb "raid" array | 19:05 | |
| greg-g | btrfs raid, that is | 19:05 |
| greg-g | really easy | 19:05 |
| philballew | thinking about it for a old mac someone gave me. | 19:05 |
| philballew | I dont like mac, but I do like free. I am torn | 19:06 |
| greg-g | desktop/laptop? | 19:06 |
| philballew | greg-g, mac mini | 19:07 |
| philballew | so desktopish I guess | 19:07 |
| greg-g | sure, seems useful | 19:08 |
| greg-g | a backup server if anything | 19:08 |
| greg-g | not sure about their power usage though | 19:08 |
| philballew | for sure. Its ppc, so its gonna go debian. I live in a dorm so power is not a problem. | 19:08 |
| philballew | Thats why I do a lot of bit coin mining. | 19:09 |
| greg-g | haha | 19:09 |
| pleia2 | philballew: actually I think you'll find more problems with using a non-x86 arch with btrfs than the age of the machine | 19:09 |
| greg-g | pleia2: really? | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | I'd say so | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | not that problems are inevitable | 19:11 |
| greg-g | why do you think that? are the kernels not built on non-x86 with btrfs support? | 19:12 |
| pleia2 | they are, just most of the testing and development is done on x86 | 19:12 |
| * greg-g nods | 19:13 | |
| pleia2 | you always get weirdness when you go to older, non-core arches when you're using something that's in development | 19:13 |
| * greg-g nods | 19:13 | |
| philballew | if all I am doing is a basic file server, not a big risk. | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | no, I think it's a cool project :) | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | https://www.adafruit.com/products/859 | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | so pretty | 19:16 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Adafruit Pi Box - Enclosure for Raspberry Pi Computers ID: 859 - $14.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits] | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | and on my way to my house! | 19:16 |
| philballew | see, the raspberry pi is actually a computer in my budget. | 19:17 |
| akk | Rupa got a box for her Pi (not entirely sure if it was that one) and was a bit disappointed. | 19:17 |
| akk | It's huge compared to the Pi, and blocks access to some of the ports. | 19:17 |
| philballew | I could probably build one on a table saw here at school. | 19:18 |
| philballew | assuming I dont pull an iheartubuntu | 19:18 |
| akk | You could build a nice plywood box that was a lot smaller than the plastic one. | 19:19 |
| pleia2 | I was hoping that ordering from adafruit would avoid complications of not having hacking access :) | 19:20 |
| pleia2 | we'll see, it looks nice anyway | 19:20 |
| philballew | wood might be to hot? | 19:20 |
| akk | You'd think! Usually I'm a big fan of Adafruit. I should check with Rupa and see if that was really the one (dunno who else would sell a Pi box like that). | 19:20 |
| pleia2 | there are a lot of places selling pi boxes | 19:20 |
| pleia2 | I liked this one the best because it's clear | 19:21 |
| pleia2 | (and pretty cheap) | 19:21 |
| toddc2 | I like the lego case http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1515 | 19:22 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Biz’s LEGO case: buy parts! | Raspberry Pi] | 19:22 |
| toddc2 | yes that one good call | 19:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, the other problem is that a lot of them are being sold out of the UK, which makes the price end up a bit unreasonable with int'l shipping | 19:24 |
| toddc2 | you can go to any lego store and print out the parts list and just buy the individual parts you need :) | 19:25 |
| pleia2 | ah, neat | 19:25 |
| akk | That's cool, but I keep wondering why everybody wants to take a tiny computer and stick it in a great big case. | 19:25 |
| toddc2 | they have in their database already | 19:25 |
| akk | Though the lego case would be perfect if you were actually using the Pi in a school. | 19:25 |
| toddc2 | clear would look cool and easy to show how and what but lego is easy to modify and has the builder apeal | 19:27 |
| philballew | lego makes clear blocks maybe? | 19:36 |
| toddc2 | yes but I think I only saw them in the smaller pieces but did not really look for them | 19:37 |
| philballew | well, spanish class time! | 19:38 |
| toddc2 | waiting for godaddy to come back up | 19:39 |
| bkerensa | people use Godaddy? | 19:42 |
| pleia2 | a lot of the internet does | 19:42 |
| toddc2 | came with the job but now I have good ammo to change dns in the future | 19:43 |
| pleia2 | (I still have some silly domains registered with them, but I don't use any of their services, including dns) | 19:44 |
| * pleia2 has never liked using registrar dns | 19:44 | |
| * xavian_ waves. | 20:31 | |
| dragon | Godaddy is down? | 20:37 |
| toddc2 | godaddy has been down for three hours | 20:47 |
| toddc2 | http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/godaddy-outage-takes-down-millions-of-sites/ | 20:48 |
| darthrobot | Title: [GoDaddy Outage Takes Down Millions Of Sites, Anonymous Member Claims Responsibility | TechCrunch] | 20:48 |
| toddc2 | jinks | 20:48 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: so I assume we will not be getting 12.10 CD's for LoCo's? | 21:52 |
| pleia2 | no, because it's not possible, they will be DVDs | 21:53 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: ahh so we will get DVD's? :) | 21:53 |
| pleia2 | they have to be, they won't fit on CDs | 21:54 |
| bkerensa | they should just move to USB's and ask LoCO's to re-use them :) | 21:54 |
| pleia2 | USB sticks are much more expensive than DVD-Rs, both to buy and image | 21:54 |
| pleia2 | I can't imagine they'd go that route | 21:54 |
| bkerensa | probably not | 21:55 |
| bkerensa | Fedora is giving out USB's now I guess | 21:55 |
| bkerensa | its just smarter to re-use then print new stuff every cycle | 21:56 |
| bkerensa | in the environmental sense | 21:56 |
| greg-g | except the point of the CDs/DVDs are to hand out, and if you hand out the USBs, they won't be reused in that sense (there are still new people you need to give something) | 22:09 |
| akk | I wish all those old 1 and 2 gb usb sticks had gotten turned into under-$1 buy-in-bulk things, instead of just disappearing. | 22:24 |
