[18:59] Map: http://osm.org/go/ZXnbjfZs?m with front and back doors to parking... [19:26] 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] like a hacker space, or something like that... [23:10] hi everybodee [23:10] * genii-around makes coffee [23:11] We're experiencing technical difficultiez [23:11] dscassel has gone home to get a phone to tether with [23:13] I'll take some of that coffee, genii-around... [23:14] * genii-around slides BobJonkman a mug of coffee [23:14] Yay! Coffee! [23:16] Did anything exciting happen while I was talking to myself in #ubuntuca ? [23:17] Nah [23:18] Back! [23:18] Work, back in 5-7 minutes but i'll check backscroll [23:19] Just settlnig in. [23:19] Huzzah!

[23:22] By all means, introduce yourselves. Who are you, where are you and what do you do for/with/to ubuntu? [23:22] I'm Darcy in Waterloo and I'm LoCo contact. Also chairing this meeting. [23:23] I'm Bob Jonkman, usually from Elmira just north of Waterloo, now at Almadina's eating a structurally deficient donair [23:23] I'm Mike in Toronto [23:24] Small crowd... [23:25] Shall we cover past events? [23:25] (I'm not hijacking the meeting; Darcy's gone to order food) [23:26] Sure. [23:26] I missed most of the Global Jam, but i dropped in on txwikinger, who was hosting. [23:26] UbuntuGlobalJam - I missed it again, third time in a row [23:26] Pretty small turnout, but we were a bit lax on advertisement. [23:26] That's it, really. [23:27] BobJonkman: how was SFD? [23:27] Software Freedom Day also had a small turnout. [23:27] There were maybe 5-6 people for most presentations, peaking at about a dozen for the middle one. [23:27] We ran overtime, and John Kerr didn't get a chance to do his presentation [23:28] There were no Ubuntu installs, and only four visitors to the Installfest at Computer Recycling [23:28] Again, lack of advertising [23:29] Yeah. 9_9 [23:29] Onto the future: Release parties! [23:29] Yay! [23:29] Um... [23:29] Heh! [23:30] Sadly Kwartzlab can't do the usual hosting job... :/ [23:30] There are discussions on a KW release party. We have no venue confirmed, as Kwartzlab is busy that weekend [23:30] I'll be busy coordinating the Central Art Walk through the lab. [23:31] 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] I'll add it to the global events loco page soon [23:31] I'm hoping someone (*eyes Bob*) will do the job of organizing and then I can join in the evening. [23:31] genii-around: Hurray! [23:31] Eyes: 9_9 [23:32] Bob and I can talk about that over shawarma... [23:32] Although I am willing to entertain suggestions from any locals who happen to be in the channel. [23:33] genii-around: When are you planning? The release day Thursday? [23:33] dscassel: Yup, from 8 onwards [23:33] Cool. [23:34] Possible carpool party from KW to TO [23:34] I have a netboot server I'll use and also of course free CDs ( if it still fits on one ! ) [23:35] Kwartlzab is hosting a bit 3rd anniversary party on Friday the 19th. Everyone is welcome to come. [23:35] There's a $5 cover for food and refreshments, live bands, etc. [23:36] I may be able to make it, I'll let you know closer to the time [23:36] Great. :D [23:37] I figure if we can't do the regular release party thing, the Kwartzlab party will do in a pinch. [23:37] heh, i am less than 30m from almadinas [23:37] And it'll be somewhat closer to what Randall thinks we should do: http://youtu.be/i22efbYLj70 [23:38] mcpherrin: Come out! We'll be here until 9! [23:38] Heh, the Vancouver crew [23:39] Anyone going to FSOSS? [23:39] dscassel: eating at meetpoint now :p [23:40] I'm not! They got rid of the Saturday again. [23:40] And LinuxFest doesn't seem to part of FSOSS any more [23:40] So, I'm not that interested [23:40] link to what fsoss is? [23:41] I'm not sure if Sammy is going this year, I hadn't planned on it [23:41] Free Software/OpenSourceSoftware hosted by Seneca College [23:41] http://fsoss.ca [23:42] And the UbuntuOpenWeek? [23:43] That's all online, right? [23:43] Yup [23:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek [23:43] I usually already hang out in classroom :) [23:43] I missed Developer Week a month or so ago. [23:44] * dscassel has actually been busy at work lately. [23:45] I heard that there are Ubuntoid Locals going to LinuxFest in Ohio this year; some have been accepted as speakers [23:45] Work also takes up a lot of my time here [23:46] 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] I think bilal had a (developer week) sesssion... [23:46] And I gave most of the rest of mine to the CSC for the frosh. [23:47] And gave some more CDs to a young man Dennis, to distribute at UbuntuHour Hvratksa (sp? Croatia) [23:47] (that's the uwaterloo computer science club) [23:47] BobJonkman1: Awesome. :D [23:48] Neither Algeria nor Croatia is an official LoCo yet, so holding a few UbuntuHours might give them a leg up [23:48] Yup [23:49] TeamReports! Good News! They're done! [23:49] We should now be caught up from the middle of 2010 to last month [23:50] I have to go in a minute, I'm supposed to be around the corner doing repairs... [23:50] And then there's IRC meeting minutes. Gonna have to learn how to use meetingology [23:50] Sure. Thanks for coming out, genii-around :) [23:50] genii-around: I'm contemplating coming to your party. I doubt it's possible, but I'm contemplating. :) [23:51] I'll leave the client running and check scroll when i get back [23:51] FREEEEEE CUPCAKES!!!!! [23:51] I'll leave you with that thought. [23:51] Ooh! [23:51] Woo! [23:52] Continue to defer LoCo renewal to after 12.10 release? [23:52] Yeah, we're sscheduled for next cycle. [23:52] What does "next cycle" mean? [23:53] It means teh 6 months between 12.10 and 13.04 [23:53] I guess I should hang out in the #LoCoTeams channel some [23:55] And the final thing on the agenda, the Web site [23:56] Haven't talked to txwikinger about it [23:56] (Or much else lately for that matter, although I'm assured he has more time now as he has completed his move) [23:57] So that can roll over to next month's agenda [23:57] Anybody want to complain about the Amazon thing before we wrap this thing up? :) [23:57] I'm using Mate for my desktop, so it's already fixed for me [23:58] 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] 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] dscassel and I have having an IRL conversation on different desktops. [23:59] Apparently gnome-fallback-session (gnome-session-fallback?) is now gnome-panel
