[18:59] <BobJonkman> Map: http://osm.org/go/ZXnbjfZs?m with front and back doors to parking...
[19:26] <johanbr> This is slightly off-topic, but does anyone know of a place in Montreal that'll let you use a 3d printer for a small fee?
[19:26] <johanbr> like a hacker space, or something like that...
[23:10] <BobJonkman> hi everybodee
[23:10]  * genii-around makes coffee
[23:11] <BobJonkman> We're experiencing technical difficultiez
[23:11] <BobJonkman> dscassel has gone home to get a phone to tether with
[23:13] <BobJonkman> I'll take some of that coffee, genii-around...
[23:14]  * genii-around slides BobJonkman a mug of coffee
[23:14] <BobJonkman> Yay! Coffee!
[23:16] <BobJonkman> Did anything exciting happen while I was talking to myself in #ubuntuca ?

[23:21] <dscassel> Meeting start! only 20 minutes late...
[23:22] <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.
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <BobJonkman1> Small crowd...
[23:25] <BobJonkman1> Shall we cover past events?
[23:25] <BobJonkman1> (I'm not hijacking the meeting; Darcy's gone to order food)
[23:26] <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.
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <BobJonkman1> There were no Ubuntu installs, and only four visitors to the Installfest at Computer Recycling
[23:28] <BobJonkman1> Again, lack of advertising
[23:29] <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!
[23:30] <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.
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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.
[23:33] <dscassel> genii-around: When are you planning? The release day Thursday?
[23:33] <genii-around> dscassel: Yup, from 8 onwards
[23:33] <dscassel> Cool.
[23:34] <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 ! )
[23:35] <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.
[23:36] <genii-around> I may be able to make it, I'll let you know closer to the time
[23:36] <dscassel> Great. :D
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <dscassel> mcpherrin: Come out! We'll be here until 9!
[23:38] <genii-around> Heh, the Vancouver crew
[23:39] <BobJonkman1> Anyone going to FSOSS?
[23:39] <mcpherrin> dscassel: eating at meetpoint now :p
[23:40] <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?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <BobJonkman1> And the UbuntuOpenWeek?
[23:43] <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.
[23:44]  * dscassel has actually been busy at work lately.
[23:45] <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
[23:46] <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.
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <BobJonkman1> TeamReports!  Good News! They're done!
[23:49] <BobJonkman1> We should now be caught up from the middle of 2010 to last month
[23:50] <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. :)
[23:51] <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!
[23:52] <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?
[23:53] <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
[23:55] <BobJonkman1> And the final thing on the agenda, the Web site
[23:56] <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)
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <IdleOne> dscassel: nothing to complain about, Canonical needs to make money if we want to continue to have this Ubuntu thing we all love.
[23:59] <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
