[00:04]  * IdleOne falls off the chair
[00:04] <IdleOne> WAT!
[00:05] <BobJonkman1> Meeting!  Agenda & such at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-11-22
[00:05] <BobJonkman1> dscassel_ is somewhat incapacitated, and will be joining us via phone tonight
[00:06] <BobJonkman1> The incapacitation stems from a new SSD in his netbook which has borked the BIOS
[00:06] <BobJonkman1> That's a technical term...
[00:07] <BobJonkman1> Also, dscassel_ has gone to get a Poutine Schawarma for sustenance.  It's great having an IRC meeting IRL just before an Ubuntu Hour
[00:08] <willwh> :)
[00:08] <BobJonkman1> So, introductions?
[00:08] <willwh> I'm just leaving the office - got to go to the doc :/
[00:08] <willwh> will be MIA o/
[00:08] <BobJonkman1> I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, slightly north of Waterloo, Ontario, but currently at Almadina's restaurant in Waterloo
[00:08] <BobJonkman1> OK, enjoy what you can, willwh
[00:10] <BobJonkman1> I saw genii-around open his eyes.  Looks like you had a good Ubuntu Release Party!
[00:10] <dscassel> Holla!

[00:11] <genii-around> BobJonkman1: We had about 10-12 people altogether wander through, 6 who stayed all night
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> And cupcakes!
[00:12] <genii-around> Hehe, yes
[00:12] <dscassel> BobJonkman1: you don't mind chairing, do you?
[00:13] <genii-around> Sorry, back and forth from working here, may not be too talktative
[00:13] <BobJonkman1> dscassel: Not at all.  Have keyboard, will chair
[00:13] <dscassel> I'm on my phone for the duration. Hardware issues.
[00:14] <BobJonkman1> It was an exciting week back in October.  TO Release Party, UbuntuOpenWeek, FSOSS, UDS...
[00:14] <BobJonkman1> Anybody go to UDS?  IRL or virtually?
[00:14] <dscassel> I was to busy with work this time.
[00:16] <BobJonkman1> I didn't make it to any online stuff either
[00:16] <BobJonkman1> I talked to Raul Suarez, who had nice thing to say about FSOSS
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> dscassel tells me Randall from the Vancouver LoCo went to UDS, proposed having LoCo teams blog about awesome LoCo stuff
[00:19] <BobJonkman1> dscassel didn't think that got too much traction
[00:20] <BobJonkman1> Tuesday was UCADay: http://ucaday.org
[00:20] <BobJonkman1> Belated ThankYous to everyone here.  You all help make the Ubuntu-ca community
[00:20] <BobJonkman1> Hmm..  ucday.org seems to be unresponsive.  There's always https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UCADay
[00:20] <BobJonkman1> And on the agenda there's the question of the next meeting day.
[00:21] <BobJonkman1> If we stick to the fourth Thursday, the next meeting would be on 27 December.  How's that fit with everyone's holiday schedules?
[00:22] <genii-around> I'll be in Sarnia with family, probably won't make it
[00:24] <azend> :O
[00:24] <BobJonkman1> I guess it meets with approval...
[00:25] <azend> Works for me
[00:25] <BobJonkman1> Would it be better earlier in the month?
[00:25] <azend> Doesn't matter to me
[00:26] <dscassel> We could just ship December..
[00:26] <dscassel> Er, skip
[00:26] <BobJonkman1> Here in Waterloo we've been syncing the Ubuntu Hour Waterloo with the IRC meeting
[00:26] <BobJonkman1> Would we skip Ubuntu Hour too?
[00:27] <dscassel> I think I'll be driving back to kw on the 27th
[00:30] <BobJonkman1> OK, I propose moving it to the 13th of December, 7:00pm for the IRC meeting, 8:00pm for Ubuntu Hour Waterloo
[00:30] <dscassel> I'm free the 13th..
[00:32] <genii-around> Sounds good
[00:32] <dscassel> We're agreed!
[00:32] <BobJonkman1> Yay!  I'll work on updating calendars and such
[00:33] <BobJonkman1> next...
[00:34] <BobJonkman1> LoCo renewal...
[00:34] <BobJonkman1> dscassel says he hasn't been approached about renewal yet, but we should probably start working on it
[00:34] <dscassel> I haven't heard anything.
[00:35] <BobJonkman1> I've been trying to keep the Team Reports up-to-date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/TeamReports/
[00:35] <dscassel> They just did Asturia. They may be going alphabetically
[00:36] <dscassel> Thanks, Bob!
[00:37] <BobJonkman1> I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'd like to encourage people to register for LoCo events at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca
[00:37] <dscassel> We'll need to do a reapproval page. I'll get on that in December, even if we don't hear from them.
[00:37] <dscassel> I've been a teensy bit swamped, so I may ask for help.
[00:37] <BobJonkman1> Like today's IRC meeting, f'rinstance http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2066/detail/
[00:38] <BobJonkman1> We get enough people coming out to events, but there's no indication of that on the LoCo events page.
[00:38] <BobJonkman1> I may be able to lend a hand.
[00:38] <dscassel> We've got photos. They like photos.
[00:40] <BobJonkman1> There's some LoCo renewal resources on the Canadian Team page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2010 and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ApprovalApplication
[00:41] <dscassel> And yes, we should probably update the web page too.
[00:42] <dscassel> Segue!
[00:42] <BobJonkman1> dscassel was proposing a Web Site Upgrade Party
[00:42] <dscassel> "promising" is perhaps to seeing a term.
[00:43] <dscassel> S/seeing/strong/
[00:44] <BobJonkman1> A nice up-to-date Web page wouldn't hurt our chances at renewal
[00:44] <dscassel> I'll mention it to  txwikinger.
[00:46] <dscassel> A web page update blitz is a good idea. I just need to carve out a time.
[00:49] <dscassel> Anything else?
[00:50] <BobJonkman1> Make sure to invite txwikinger to the Web Site Update Party; he has the keys to the castle
[00:58] <BobJonkman1> Well, that seems to be about it for today
[00:59] <BobJonkman1> When dscassel carves some time I'll put something about a Web Site Update Party on the LoCo calendar.
[00:59] <dscassel> Sure
[01:00] <BobJonkman1> I expect it will be an online collaborative event.  But maybe with an In-Real-Life component, perhaps at a local hacker space or something like that :-p
[01:01] <dscassel> If you don't mind the cold, sure!
[01:02] <BobJonkman1> OK, thanx everbodee!
[01:02] <dscassel> Woo! Ubuntu hour!
[01:03] <BobJonkman1> Another seque
[01:03] <BobJonkman1> segue.  Fingers don't work too well
[01:04] <BobJonkman1> going AFK and offline
[01:15] <sohaeb> did the meeting finish ??
[01:16] <sohaeb> if you don't answer me I will leave Ubuntu and go back to windows
[01:18] <sohaeb> the most annoying statement I've ever read. Lol
[01:18] <sohaeb> Alright see you later
[14:42] <genii-around> Bleh. "The membership of Ubuntu Canada (ubuntu-ca) in the Approved LoCo Teams (locoteams-approved) team has expired. Regards, The Launchpad team"
[15:12] <dscassel> I'm not entirely sure why I put up with this bullshit anymore..
[15:15] <genii-around> dscassel: Because we look up to you for doing so?
[15:16] <genii-around> Looks like spam filter fail  :-(
