| dscassel | Meeting start! only 20 minutes late... | 23:21 |
| dscassel | By all means, introduce yourselves. Who are you, where are you and what do you do for/with/to ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| dscassel | I'm Darcy in Waterloo and I'm LoCo contact. Also chairing this meeting. | 23:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm Bob Jonkman, usually from Elmira just north of Waterloo, now at Almadina's eating a structurally deficient donair | 23:23 |
| genii-around | I'm Mike in Toronto | 23:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | Small crowd... | 23:24 |
| BobJonkman1 | Shall we cover past events? | 23:25 |
| BobJonkman1 | (I'm not hijacking the meeting; Darcy's gone to order food) | 23:25 |
| dscassel | Sure. | 23:26 |
| dscassel | I missed most of the Global Jam, but i dropped in on txwikinger, who was hosting. | 23:26 |
| BobJonkman1 | UbuntuGlobalJam - I missed it again, third time in a row | 23:26 |
| dscassel | Pretty small turnout, but we were a bit lax on advertisement. | 23:26 |
| dscassel | That's it, really. | 23:26 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: how was SFD? | 23:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | Software Freedom Day also had a small turnout. | 23:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | There were maybe 5-6 people for most presentations, peaking at about a dozen for the middle one. | 23:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | We ran overtime, and John Kerr didn't get a chance to do his presentation | 23:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | There were no Ubuntu installs, and only four visitors to the Installfest at Computer Recycling | 23:28 |
| BobJonkman1 | Again, lack of advertising | 23:28 |
| dscassel | Yeah. 9_9 | 23:29 |
| dscassel | Onto the future: Release parties! | 23:29 |
| dscassel | Yay! | 23:29 |
| dscassel | Um... | 23:29 |
| genii-around | Heh! | 23:29 |
| dscassel | Sadly Kwartzlab can't do the usual hosting job... :/ | 23:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | There are discussions on a KW release party. We have no venue confirmed, as Kwartzlab is busy that weekend | 23:30 |
| dscassel | I'll be busy coordinating the Central Art Walk through the lab. | 23:30 |
| genii-around | I'm having the usual one at the local place here, I'm trying to get word out but money is tight for advertising, etc | 23:31 |
| genii-around | I'll add it to the global events loco page soon | 23:31 |
| dscassel | I'm hoping someone (*eyes Bob*) will do the job of organizing and then I can join in the evening. | 23:31 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Hurray! | 23:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | Eyes: 9_9 | 23:31 |
| dscassel | Bob and I can talk about that over shawarma... | 23:32 |
| dscassel | Although I am willing to entertain suggestions from any locals who happen to be in the channel. | 23:32 |
| dscassel | genii-around: When are you planning? The release day Thursday? | 23:33 |
| genii-around | dscassel: Yup, from 8 onwards | 23:33 |
| dscassel | Cool. | 23:33 |
| BobJonkman1 | Possible carpool party from KW to TO | 23:34 |
| genii-around | I have a netboot server I'll use and also of course free CDs ( if it still fits on one ! ) | 23:34 |
| dscassel | Kwartlzab is hosting a bit 3rd anniversary party on Friday the 19th. Everyone is welcome to come. | 23:35 |
| dscassel | There's a $5 cover for food and refreshments, live bands, etc. | 23:35 |
| genii-around | I may be able to make it, I'll let you know closer to the time | 23:36 |
| dscassel | Great. :D | 23:36 |
| dscassel | I figure if we can't do the regular release party thing, the Kwartzlab party will do in a pinch. | 23:37 |
| mcpherrin | heh, i am less than 30m from almadinas | 23:37 |
| dscassel | And it'll be somewhat closer to what Randall thinks we should do: http://youtu.be/i22efbYLj70 | 23:37 |
| dscassel | mcpherrin: Come out! We'll be here until 9! | 23:38 |
| genii-around | Heh, the Vancouver crew | 23:38 |
| BobJonkman1 | Anyone going to FSOSS? | 23:39 |
| mcpherrin | dscassel: eating at meetpoint now :p | 23:39 |
| dscassel | I'm not! They got rid of the Saturday again. | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | And LinuxFest doesn't seem to part of FSOSS any more | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | So, I'm not that interested | 23:40 |
| mcpherrin | link to what fsoss is? | 23:40 |
| genii-around | I'm not sure if Sammy is going this year, I hadn't planned on it | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | Free Software/OpenSourceSoftware hosted by Seneca College | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | http://fsoss.ca | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | And the UbuntuOpenWeek? | 23:42 |
| BobJonkman1 | That's all online, right? | 23:43 |
| dscassel | Yup | 23:43 |
| BobJonkman1 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek | 23:43 |
| genii-around | I usually already hang out in classroom :) | 23:43 |
| dscassel | I missed Developer Week a month or so ago. | 23:43 |
| * dscassel has actually been busy at work lately. | 23:44 | |
| BobJonkman1 | I heard that there are Ubuntoid Locals going to LinuxFest in Ohio this year; some have been accepted as speakers | 23:45 |
| genii-around | Work also takes up a lot of my time here | 23:45 |
| BobJonkman1 | And in further news, I gave some of our valuable stash of Ubuntu CDs to our local UbuntuHour participant Hassan, who set up an Ubuntu Hour in Algeria | 23:46 |
| dscassel | I think bilal had a (developer week) sesssion... | 23:46 |
| dscassel | And I gave most of the rest of mine to the CSC for the frosh. | 23:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | And gave some more CDs to a young man Dennis, to distribute at UbuntuHour Hvratksa (sp? Croatia) | 23:47 |
| dscassel | (that's the uwaterloo computer science club) | 23:47 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman1: Awesome. :D | 23:47 |
| BobJonkman1 | Neither Algeria nor Croatia is an official LoCo yet, so holding a few UbuntuHours might give them a leg up | 23:48 |
| dscassel | Yup | 23:48 |
| BobJonkman1 | TeamReports! Good News! They're done! | 23:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | We should now be caught up from the middle of 2010 to last month | 23:49 |
| genii-around | I have to go in a minute, I'm supposed to be around the corner doing repairs... | 23:50 |
| BobJonkman1 | And then there's IRC meeting minutes. Gonna have to learn how to use meetingology | 23:50 |
| dscassel | Sure. Thanks for coming out, genii-around :) | 23:50 |
| dscassel | genii-around: I'm contemplating coming to your party. I doubt it's possible, but I'm contemplating. :) | 23:50 |
| genii-around | I'll leave the client running and check scroll when i get back | 23:51 |
| genii-around | FREEEEEE CUPCAKES!!!!! | 23:51 |
| genii-around | I'll leave you with that thought. | 23:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | Ooh! | 23:51 |
| dscassel | Woo! | 23:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | Continue to defer LoCo renewal to after 12.10 release? | 23:52 |
| dscassel | Yeah, we're sscheduled for next cycle. | 23:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | What does "next cycle" mean? | 23:52 |
| dscassel | It means teh 6 months between 12.10 and 13.04 | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | I guess I should hang out in the #LoCoTeams channel some | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | And the final thing on the agenda, the Web site | 23:55 |
| dscassel | Haven't talked to txwikinger about it | 23:56 |
| dscassel | (Or much else lately for that matter, although I'm assured he has more time now as he has completed his move) | 23:56 |
| BobJonkman1 | So that can roll over to next month's agenda | 23:57 |
| dscassel | Anybody want to complain about the Amazon thing before we wrap this thing up? :) | 23:57 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm using Mate for my desktop, so it's already fixed for me | 23:57 |
| IdleOne | dscassel: nothing to complain about, Canonical needs to make money if we want to continue to have this Ubuntu thing we all love. | 23:58 |
| IdleOne | I would appreciate a more clear explanation from them about how the data will be used but I am personally not concerned about it. I just want the info out there so the community is assured | 23:59 |
| BobJonkman1 | dscassel and I have having an IRL conversation on different desktops. | 23:59 |
| BobJonkman1 | Apparently gnome-fallback-session (gnome-session-fallback?) is now gnome-panel | 23:59 |
