[00:59] <snap-l> Evening, everyone
[01:00] <waldo323> good evening
[01:00] <snap-l> Who all is here for the meeting?
[01:00]  * waldo323 is
[01:01] <snap-l> Anyone else?
[01:01] <waldo323> maybe they went to get something to drink for the meeting?
[01:02] <snap-l> Uh huh
[01:03] <snap-l> Well, let's get started.
[01:03] <snap-l> If you happen to wake up in the middle, feel free to make your presence known
[01:03] <snap-l> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-michigan/368/detail/
[01:04] <snap-l> Forgot to put together an agenda, so we'll just wing it
[01:04] <snap-l> 1) OLF
[01:04] <snap-l> Thank you to everyone who helped out with the OLF booth
[01:04] <waldo323> namely raig
[01:04] <waldo323> craig
[01:05] <snap-l> 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] <snap-l> as well as other folks who didn't know about the various locos.
[01:05] <snap-l> waldo323: You helped out as well
[01:05] <snap-l> don't be shy. :)
[01:06] <snap-l> We gave out a lot of discs, and I think people were genuinely happy to talk and learn more about Ubuntu
[01:06] <waldo323> and there was good interaction between the locos from what I observed
[01:07] <snap-l> Yeah, it was pretty nice
[01:07] <snap-l> And the new Distro Watch video podcast interviewed me about the booth
[01:07] <snap-l> Hopefully I didn't come off like an ass. :)
[01:08] <waldo323> is there a link for it yet?
[01:08] <snap-l> Noy yet.
[01:08] <snap-l> Anywhol, really appreciate those who supported the effort.
[01:09] <snap-l> 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] <snap-l> (And by counted on two hands, I mean without using bindary.)
[01:09] <snap-l> binary, either
[01:10] <snap-l> So, Any questions about OLF?
[01:10] <snap-l> OK, moving on
[01:10] <snap-l> 12.10 release party planning
[01:10] <snap-l> Apparently there's a new Ubuntu release coming out
[01:11] <snap-l> Who knew?
[01:11] <waldo323> me
[01:11] <rick_h_droid> party
[01:11] <snap-l> And, as is customary, it's time to plan out a release party.
[01:12] <snap-l> IN previous iterations, we've had them at the Liberty Street Brewery
[01:12] <waldo323> how well does that work for everyone?
[01:13] <snap-l> I'm OK with it, but usually smoser sets it up.
[01:13] <snap-l> We tend to get an interesting crowd over there.
[01:13] <snap-l> Other thought I had was trying for the Royal Oak Brewery.
[01:14] <snap-l> Only problem is parking
[01:15] <snap-l> If someone would like to take the ball and plan this out, that would be awesome.
[01:16] <snap-l> Sat 20th October or 21st Sunday.
[01:17] <waldo323> i would prefer saturday but may not be able to make it even then :-\
[01:17] <snap-l> well, I can also post this to the list to see if someone would be interested in spearheading it.
[01:18] <snap-l> Frankly, I don't have it in me to plan this at the moment.
[01:18] <waldo323> sending it to the list sounds like a good idea
[01:20] <snap-l> OK I'll post i to the list to ask if someone will spearhead this.
[01:20] <snap-l> Any questions?
[01:20] <snap-l> Not sure if the west side is planning something, or what.
[01:21] <waldo323> 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] <snap-l> Yeah, definitely.
[01:23] <snap-l> So, anything else for the meeting?
[01:23] <waldo323> penguicon had a productive meeting today
[01:24] <snap-l> Oh yeah?
[01:24] <waldo323> and will be looking for interested speakers and sponsors soon
[01:24] <snap-l> Looked like they had two meetings, from the list notes. :)
[01:25] <waldo323> i think the board meeting was a bit ago and got the notes out today
[01:25] <waldo323> the planning meeting was held today and we got the minutes out today as well
[01:25] <waldo323> unless our meeting notes went out twice :)
[01:26] <snap-l> SO what's with this themed day shit? :)
[01:26] <waldo323> we have a tentative dates of April 19- 21 2013 in Dearborn
[01:28] <waldo323> haha I am not quite sure but can let you know when I do have a clue
[01:30] <waldo323> 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] <snap-l> yeah, I think we need to partner closer with Penguicon
[01:31] <waldo323> i would like to find some college level professors with interesting research to come to present
[01:32] <snap-l> Ahem: Oakland UNiversity, David Garfinkle. :)
[01:33] <waldo323> so added
[01:33] <waldo323> do you already have contacts with him?
[01:36] <waldo323> 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] <waldo323> for this coming release party what does it take to put it together?
[01:42] <snap-l> for release partiez, it usually takes just finding a venue and letting them know
[01:42] <snap-l> and finding out if theyre able to house us.
[01:43] <waldo323> ah,  would woodward avenue brewery be a good option?
[01:43] <snap-l> re: garfine, jodee has contacts with him
[01:43] <snap-l> whereisthat?
[01:44] <snap-l> (on phone at the moment. :))
[01:44] <waldo323> 22646 Woodward Avenue Ferndale, MI 48220
[01:44] <waldo323> (me too)
[01:51] <snap-l> I've never been there
[01:51] <snap-l> Anywho, I'll post to the mailing list for getting someone to help spearhead this
[01:52] <snap-l> Anything else?
[01:52] <waldo323> not at the moment
[01:52] <snap-l> If not, then I think we'll put this meeting to bed.
[01:52] <waldo323> ok
[01:52] <snap-l> Laterness, everyone. Thanks for the participation!
[01:53] <waldo323> thank you for hosting
[02:13] <waldo323> snap-l, have you been to black lotus in clawson?
[12:06] <brousch> Good morning!
[12:06] <rick_h_> party
[12:07] <brousch> Are you going to the LEGO thing this weekend?
[12:08] <rick_h_> yea, we're going friday after work
[12:15] <snap-l> goodmoring
[12:19] <rick_h_> ok, looks like my need to land this branch today fell apart...to the woodshop I go for the day. Have fun all. Thanks columbus!
[12:19] <snap-l> Niiiice.
[12:19] <snap-l> Didn't realize Canonical celebrated Columbus day
[12:20] <rick_h_> the list of federal holidays if you're in the US
[12:20] <snap-l> Really? That's pretty cool
[12:20] <rick_h_> yea, basically whatever federal list your country holds to
[12:20] <rick_h_> snap-l: I'll be down your way later. You working from home or office?
[12:21] <snap-l> Office, unfortunately.
[12:21] <rick_h_> doh, oh well
[12:21] <snap-l> Yeah, if it were a Wednesday or Friday, I'd be here.
[12:22] <rick_h_> have to hit up the rockler store just down from the CHC caribou so debating on some coffee shop time down there
[15:08] <snap-l> Just upgraded Picasa to 25gb.
[15:08] <snap-l> I'm moving some other site photos to it. Getting tired of hosting Gallery2
[15:09] <brousch> I'm still grandfathered in at a ridiculously low price
[15:10] <snap-l> $2.50 for me not running Gallery is a nice price to pay.
[15:10] <snap-l> 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] <brousch> Google owns me. I gave up on alternatives
[15:14] <snap-l> http://decafbad.net/category/caption-contest/ <- I should do one of these again.
[16:21] <rick_h_> bake it sun bake! http://ubuntuone.com/0zjV2ISHq9T68YWMdussh1
[17:18] <derekv> i'd like a sort of visual dashbord for dev workstations
[17:18] <derekv> eg local server for project X is started, git statuses, click to get logs/ run common scripts
[17:19] <derekv> statuses for everything when your working with mutliple projects
[17:22] <derekv> maybe some sort of generic dashboard app
[17:30] <derekv> test driven enviroment configuration
[17:54] <brousch> 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] <snap-l> brousch: Gotta love those automated processes.
[19:40] <derekv> mug is tonight?
[19:41] <derekv> i'm like 1mi from the farminington library
[19:44] <derekv> oh today is monday
[19:44] <snap-l> Yep. It's tomorrow
[19:44] <derekv> i was thinking it was monday
[19:44] <derekv> er tuesday
[19:45] <derekv> goddamn i am tired
[19:45] <derekv> think i'm going to work another hour then bust out
[19:45] <snap-l> Just as long as you know Truman is President, you should be OK
[19:46] <derekv> wait... Truman is Presedent?  Did something happen to Roosevelt??
[19:47] <snap-l> Bad news, bro.
[19:51] <jjesse> he's a vampire?
[20:41] <brousch> I'm having fun with getting Fabric working on Android https://github.com/brousch/fabdroid
[20:43] <brousch> Will a finally be run even if there's an exit() in the except?
[20:44] <brousch> For instance, will this sleep if the exception is triggered? http://paste.mitechie.com/show/819/
[20:45] <brousch> Nevermind, it is
