[00:59] Evening, everyone [01:00] good evening [01:00] Who all is here for the meeting? [01:00] * waldo323 is [01:01] Anyone else? [01:01] maybe they went to get something to drink for the meeting? [01:02] Uh huh [01:03] Well, let's get started. [01:03] If you happen to wake up in the middle, feel free to make your presence known [01:03] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-michigan/368/detail/ [01:04] Forgot to put together an agenda, so we'll just wing it [01:04] 1) OLF [01:04] Thank you to everyone who helped out with the OLF booth [01:04] namely raig [01:04] craig [01:05] It was pretty awesome to have some folks from the Comic Convention drop on by either to get CDs, or to just ask questions [01:05] as well as other folks who didn't know about the various locos. [01:05] waldo323: You helped out as well [01:05] don't be shy. :) [01:06] We gave out a lot of discs, and I think people were genuinely happy to talk and learn more about Ubuntu [01:06] and there was good interaction between the locos from what I observed [01:07] Yeah, it was pretty nice [01:07] And the new Distro Watch video podcast interviewed me about the booth [01:07] Hopefully I didn't come off like an ass. :) [01:08] is there a link for it yet? [01:08] Noy yet. [01:08] Anywhol, really appreciate those who supported the effort. [01:09] I know the number of Michgan folks down at OLF this time around could be counted on two hands, but it was nice to get some involvement. [01:09] (And by counted on two hands, I mean without using bindary.) [01:09] binary, either [01:10] So, Any questions about OLF? [01:10] OK, moving on [01:10] 12.10 release party planning [01:10] Apparently there's a new Ubuntu release coming out [01:11] Who knew? [01:11] me [01:11] party [01:11] And, as is customary, it's time to plan out a release party. [01:12] IN previous iterations, we've had them at the Liberty Street Brewery [01:12] how well does that work for everyone? [01:13] I'm OK with it, but usually smoser sets it up. [01:13] We tend to get an interesting crowd over there. [01:13] Other thought I had was trying for the Royal Oak Brewery. [01:14] Only problem is parking [01:15] If someone would like to take the ball and plan this out, that would be awesome. [01:16] Sat 20th October or 21st Sunday. [01:17] i would prefer saturday but may not be able to make it even then :-\ [01:17] well, I can also post this to the list to see if someone would be interested in spearheading it. [01:18] Frankly, I don't have it in me to plan this at the moment. [01:18] sending it to the list sounds like a good idea [01:20] OK I'll post i to the list to ask if someone will spearhead this. [01:20] Any questions? [01:20] Not sure if the west side is planning something, or what. [01:21] i am guessing you or someone else has access to add it to the list of parties once we know we are having one? [01:21] Yeah, definitely. [01:23] So, anything else for the meeting? [01:23] penguicon had a productive meeting today [01:24] Oh yeah? [01:24] and will be looking for interested speakers and sponsors soon [01:24] Looked like they had two meetings, from the list notes. :) [01:25] i think the board meeting was a bit ago and got the notes out today [01:25] the planning meeting was held today and we got the minutes out today as well [01:25] unless our meeting notes went out twice :) [01:26] SO what's with this themed day shit? :) [01:26] we have a tentative dates of April 19- 21 2013 in Dearborn [01:28] haha I am not quite sure but can let you know when I do have a clue [01:30] we are hoping to have more tech this year so please let me know if you have topic ideas, people you'd like to see if possible, perhaps types of events like a release party, workshops, key signing events, bug jams, problem solving sessions etc [01:30] yeah, I think we need to partner closer with Penguicon [01:31] i would like to find some college level professors with interesting research to come to present [01:32] Ahem: Oakland UNiversity, David Garfinkle. :) [01:33] so added [01:33] do you already have contacts with him? [01:36] what could the loco do or be a part of at penguicon that we would like to do or be a part of [01:40] for this coming release party what does it take to put it together? [01:42] for release partiez, it usually takes just finding a venue and letting them know [01:42] and finding out if theyre able to house us. [01:43] ah, would woodward avenue brewery be a good option? [01:43] re: garfine, jodee has contacts with him [01:43] whereisthat? [01:44] (on phone at the moment. :)) [01:44] 22646 Woodward Avenue Ferndale, MI 48220 [01:44] (me too) [01:51] I've never been there [01:51] Anywho, I'll post to the mailing list for getting someone to help spearhead this [01:52] Anything else? [01:52] not at the moment [01:52] If not, then I think we'll put this meeting to bed. [01:52] ok [01:52] Laterness, everyone. Thanks for the participation! [01:53] thank you for hosting [02:13] snap-l, have you been to black lotus in clawson? [12:06] Good morning! [12:06] party [12:07] Are you going to the LEGO thing this weekend?

[12:19] Niiiice. [12:19] Didn't realize Canonical celebrated Columbus day [12:20] the list of federal holidays if you're in the US [12:20] Really? That's pretty cool [12:20] yea, basically whatever federal list your country holds to [12:20] snap-l: I'll be down your way later. You working from home or office? [12:21] Office, unfortunately.

[15:08] I'm moving some other site photos to it. Getting tired of hosting Gallery2 [15:09] I'm still grandfathered in at a ridiculously low price [15:10] $2.50 for me not running Gallery is a nice price to pay. [15:10] And I already run Wordpress for the one-off photos [15:11] * snap-l remembers his brief flirtation with posting photos into a PHPBB2 area on my site for caption contests. [15:11] Google owns me. I gave up on alternatives [15:14] http://decafbad.net/category/caption-contest/ <- I should do one of these again. [16:21] bake it sun bake! http://ubuntuone.com/0zjV2ISHq9T68YWMdussh1 [17:18] i'd like a sort of visual dashbord for dev workstations [17:18] eg local server for project X is started, git statuses, click to get logs/ run common scripts [17:19] statuses for everything when your working with mutliple projects [17:22] maybe some sort of generic dashboard app [17:30] test driven enviroment configuration [17:54] WTF I got an update for a bug on launchpad filed in 2007, which I confirmed fixed in Ubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monodevelop/+bug/125069 [17:58] brousch: Gotta love those automated processes.
