[01:45] meeting in 15 minutes :) [01:48] Is the jam over? Sounded like it was going well. [01:52] yeah, we just did one yesterday [01:52] usps charges for shipping (thought about ordering stamps online) [02:00] #startmeeting [02:00] Meeting started Mon Sep 10 02:00:05 2012 UTC.

[02:00] #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12September9 [02:00] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12September9 - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:00] nothing on the agenda ;) [02:00] so, who all is here? [02:00] me [02:01] lurking [02:01] huh? [02:03] #topic Ubuntu Global Jam [02:03] so we just had one event for the Global Jam this cycle [02:04] Wikimedia gave us space in downtown SF and Moka5 sponsored the pizza :) [02:04] had about 12 people come and go throughout the event, got to do testing, bug reporting [02:05] pictures: [02:05] #link http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157631474205044/ [02:05] Title: [Quantal SF Ubuntu Global Jam - a set on Flickr] [02:05] 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 [02:06] probably will just do live demos next time [02:06] everything else went pretty well :) [02:07] #topic Upcoming events [02:07] anyone have anything? [02:08] 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] so ideas for stuff to do this fall are welcome [02:08] (we didn't do the picnic this summer either, since it didn't happen!) [02:08] September is San Francisco's warmest month. A BBQ wouldn't be out of the ordinary. [02:08] so sad [02:09] 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] Title: [Ubuntu Hour San Francisco | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal] [02:09] eps: indeed! [02:12] #topic Any other business [02:12] anyone have anything else? [02:15] anyone? :) [02:16] Let's make some Ubuntu Hours happen, people. [02:18] mt view and pasadena have been doing good with theirs too [02:19] ok, I guess we can wrap up then [02:19] thanks everyone [02:19] #endmeeting [02:19] Meeting ended Mon Sep 10 02:19:48 2012 UTC. [02:19] Minutes: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2012/ubuntu-us-ca.2012-09-10-02.00.moin.txt [02:26] nice job thanks for the hard work!! === toddc_ is now known as toddc === toddc is now known as toddc2 [18:54] with btfs, can that be installed on an older computer as well? [18:55] yeah [18:59] alright, i just figured i'd get my dumb question in early today! thank you pleia2 [19:02] bah, there are very few dumb questions :) [19:05] * greg-g just set up btrfs saturday night for a 2tb "raid" array [19:05] btrfs raid, that is [19:05] really easy [19:05] thinking about it for a old mac someone gave me. [19:06] I dont like mac, but I do like free. I am torn [19:06] desktop/laptop? [19:07] greg-g, mac mini [19:07] so desktopish I guess [19:08] sure, seems useful [19:08] a backup server if anything [19:08] not sure about their power usage though [19:08] for sure. Its ppc, so its gonna go debian. I live in a dorm so power is not a problem. [19:09] Thats why I do a lot of bit coin mining. [19:09] haha [19:09] philballew: actually I think you'll find more problems with using a non-x86 arch with btrfs than the age of the machine [19:10] pleia2: really? [19:10] I'd say so [19:11] not that problems are inevitable [19:12] why do you think that? are the kernels not built on non-x86 with btrfs support? [19:12] they are, just most of the testing and development is done on x86 [19:13] * greg-g nods [19:13] 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 [19:15] if all I am doing is a basic file server, not a big risk. [19:15] no, I think it's a cool project :) [19:16] https://www.adafruit.com/products/859 [19:16] so pretty [19:16] Title: [Adafruit Pi Box - Enclosure for Raspberry Pi Computers ID: 859 - $14.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits] [19:16] and on my way to my house! [19:17] see, the raspberry pi is actually a computer in my budget. [19:17] Rupa got a box for her Pi (not entirely sure if it was that one) and was a bit disappointed. [19:17] It's huge compared to the Pi, and blocks access to some of the ports. [19:18] I could probably build one on a table saw here at school. [19:18] assuming I dont pull an iheartubuntu [19:19] You could build a nice plywood box that was a lot smaller than the plastic one. [19:20] I was hoping that ordering from adafruit would avoid complications of not having hacking access :) [19:20] we'll see, it looks nice anyway [19:20] wood might be to hot? [19:20] 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] there are a lot of places selling pi boxes [19:21] I liked this one the best because it's clear [19:21] (and pretty cheap) [19:22] I like the lego case http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1515 [19:22] Title: [Biz’s LEGO case: buy parts! | Raspberry Pi] [19:22] yes that one good call [19:24] 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 [19:25] you can go to any lego store and print out the parts list and just buy the individual parts you need :) [19:25] ah, neat [19:25] 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] they have in their database already [19:25] Though the lego case would be perfect if you were actually using the Pi in a school. [19:27] clear would look cool and easy to show how and what but lego is easy to modify and has the builder apeal [19:36] lego makes clear blocks maybe? [19:37] yes but I think I only saw them in the smaller pieces but did not really look for them [19:38] well, spanish class time! [19:39] waiting for godaddy to come back up [19:42] people use Godaddy? [19:42] a lot of the internet does [19:43] came with the job but now I have good ammo to change dns in the future [19:44] (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 [20:31] * xavian_ waves. [20:37] Godaddy is down? [20:47] godaddy has been down for three hours [20:48] http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/godaddy-outage-takes-down-millions-of-sites/ [20:48] Title: [GoDaddy Outage Takes Down Millions Of Sites, Anonymous Member Claims Responsibility | TechCrunch] [20:48] jinks [21:52] pleia2: so I assume we will not be getting 12.10 CD's for LoCo's? [21:53] no, because it's not possible, they will be DVDs [21:53] pleia2: ahh so we will get DVD's? :) [21:54] they have to be, they won't fit on CDs [21:54] they should just move to USB's and ask LoCO's to re-use them :) [21:54] USB sticks are much more expensive than DVD-Rs, both to buy and image [21:54] I can't imagine they'd go that route [21:55] probably not [21:55] Fedora is giving out USB's now I guess [21:56] its just smarter to re-use then print new stuff every cycle [21:56] in the environmental sense [22:09] 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) [22:24] 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.
