=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-ca to: Welcome to the Ubuntu California Local Community (LoCo) Team! | Website: http://ubuntu-california.org (has links to mailing list, forum, and more!) | Next Meeting: Sunday, November 18th, 7:00pm PDT | This channel is publicly logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic
[02:09] <pleia2> is there a mt view ubuntu hour on thursday? akk mentioned one but I haven't seen any notifications about it, I don't want to miss another (missed palo alto one when I was in town last month too)
[02:13] <pleia2> ugh, meetup doesn't show events without joining, and to join you need to do an introduction and connect it to social media stuff :\
[02:16] <pleia2> jtatum: can you add this to the loco directory and announce it so the whole team knows about it without signing up for meetup? we also use loco to announce stuff on twitter/facebook/etc
[02:16] <pleia2> if it's just on meetup it's really hard for us to include it in team reports and everything
[02:18] <pleia2> (trying to do team reports for October now, and I've pretty much given up tracking all these down because it's taking forever and we can't link to the meetup pages because you need to be logged into see anything)
[02:19] <pleia2> if someone who has time and access to Ubuntu SV stuff could add these to the report each month that'd be great
[02:26] <pleia2> I wish there was a way to automate this further, mailing list posts from loco.ubuntu or something, having all these ways to update events is really getting away from us :\
[02:29] <pleia2> ok, this is my stab at the report, please add anything that's missing :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/TeamReports/12/October

[03:45] <pleia2> doh, no Mt View Ubuntu Hour for me (just nudged my fiance to make sure he can drive me home, and he reminded me that we have a meeting that night for wedding stuff)
[03:45] <pleia2> wasn't on my calendar, oops
[03:48] <akk> Darn -- maybe next time.
[03:48] <akk> Wedding stuff obviously takes priority!
[03:49] <pleia2> exhausting stuff :) at least I finally bought my dress
[03:49] <pleia2> even if the people at the store were all shocked I had waited until just 6 months before the wedding to get it (isn't 6 months enough? no, should do it a YEAR in advance!)
[03:50] <pleia2> crazy, I was 25lbs heavier a year ago, that wouldn't have been any good :)
[04:01] <akk> That does sound crazy.
[04:01] <akk> Maybe they want you to buy it early then spend money altering it.
[04:03] <pleia2> hah, probably
[07:02] <bkerensa> Has anyone seen David Wonderly lately?
[07:02] <bkerensa> :D
[15:57] <pleia2> bkerensa: he is online, just not here (probably since he's not in california anymore :))
[18:25] <nhaines> pleia2: I was sad about it, but found that Meetup was pretty much not helpful at all whatsoever for Ubuntu Hours.
[18:26] <nhaines> pleia2: and btw, congrats on the dress and on the proper measurements.  :)
[18:27] <pleia2> nhaines: apparently in silicon valley it's working very well for them (lots of new people), but I suspect that's an exceptional area :)
[18:27] <akk> Yes, it's working well in silicon valley.
[18:27] <pleia2> but it is making it hard to track what's going on with the team (I emailed them to confirm they still wanted to be part of the loco since they weren't announcing them to the team anymore)
[18:27] <akk> Though I wonder if it might have worked just as well if we'd had all those UHs announced on our loco mailing list.
[18:28] <akk> Even before meetup they often weren't posted to the list, or not until the very last minute.
[18:28] <pleia2> yeah :\
[18:29] <akk> I wonder if a team google calendar (or equivalent) might work for pre-planning, in a way that's more open and less annoying than meetup.
[18:29] <pleia2> loco.ubuntu.com creates an ical feed that I use, I have email alerts that tell me to update twitter
[18:30] <pleia2> so I've been asking people to update loco.ubuntu for events so we can track them for reporting, it updates our calendar, shows up in "Events" link we have on the site..
[18:31] <pleia2> also, looking for a job! http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=7185
[18:31] <darthrobot`> Title: [Time for a new challenge – pleia2's blog]
[18:31] <pleia2> if anyone knows of anything that may be good for my skillset ;)
[18:32] <pleia2> (I'm still employed, but training my replacement and really want something by the end of the year)
[18:34] <akk> Cool -- I hope you find something awesome and perfect.
[18:35] <akk> Sure is nice to leave a job on good terms like that, with a transition period and training your replacement.
[18:36] <nhaines> pleia2: having such a heads up and being able to properly train your replacement seems to speak to a lot of mutual respect between you and your employer.  :)
[18:36] <akk> Agreed.
[18:37] <akk> Also, even being able to post something like that, rather than sneak around hoping your current employer won't find out you're hunting.
[18:37] <nhaines> That's an extra bonus.  :)
[18:52] <pleia2> it's a tiny company so we do have the benefit of a very good personal relationship :)
[18:53] <pleia2> of course now the pressure is on to get a new job soon, since paying me and my replacement indefinitely would not be optimal
[19:22] <bkerensa> pleia2: I hear this company called Canonical is hiring
[19:22] <bkerensa> ;)
