[00:01] Hello Everybodee!! [00:04] Roll call! IdleOne mars komputes_afk Chex genii-around FiReSTaRT mattmaq zul jlamothe jaguar dscassel_ willwh ryanakca azend mcpherrin cyphermox txwikinger johanbr bregma egerlach [00:04] * genii-around jolts awake [00:04] * IdleOne falls off the chair [00:04] WAT! [00:05] Meeting! Agenda & such at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-11-22 [00:05] dscassel_ is somewhat incapacitated, and will be joining us via phone tonight [00:06] The incapacitation stems from a new SSD in his netbook which has borked the BIOS [00:06] That's a technical term... [00:07] 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] :) [00:08] So, introductions? [00:08] I'm just leaving the office - got to go to the doc :/ [00:08] will be MIA o/ [00:08] I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, slightly north of Waterloo, Ontario, but currently at Almadina's restaurant in Waterloo [00:08] OK, enjoy what you can, willwh [00:10] I saw genii-around open his eyes. Looks like you had a good Ubuntu Release Party! [00:10] Holla! [00:11] Pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntucanada/8188024749/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntucanada/8189105872/ [00:11] BobJonkman1: We had about 10-12 people altogether wander through, 6 who stayed all night [00:12] And cupcakes! [00:12] Hehe, yes [00:12] BobJonkman1: you don't mind chairing, do you? [00:13] Sorry, back and forth from working here, may not be too talktative [00:13] dscassel: Not at all. Have keyboard, will chair [00:13] I'm on my phone for the duration. Hardware issues. [00:14] It was an exciting week back in October. TO Release Party, UbuntuOpenWeek, FSOSS, UDS... [00:14] Anybody go to UDS? IRL or virtually? [00:14] I was to busy with work this time. [00:16] I didn't make it to any online stuff either [00:16] I talked to Raul Suarez, who had nice thing to say about FSOSS [00:17] dscassel tells me Randall from the Vancouver LoCo went to UDS, proposed having LoCo teams blog about awesome LoCo stuff [00:19] dscassel didn't think that got too much traction [00:20] Tuesday was UCADay: http://ucaday.org [00:20] Belated ThankYous to everyone here. You all help make the Ubuntu-ca community [00:20] Hmm.. ucday.org seems to be unresponsive. There's always https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UCADay [00:20] And on the agenda there's the question of the next meeting day. [00:21] 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] I'll be in Sarnia with family, probably won't make it [00:24] :O [00:24] I guess it meets with approval... [00:25] Works for me [00:25] Would it be better earlier in the month? [00:25] Doesn't matter to me [00:26] We could just ship December.. [00:26] Er, skip [00:26] Here in Waterloo we've been syncing the Ubuntu Hour Waterloo with the IRC meeting [00:26] Would we skip Ubuntu Hour too? [00:27] I think I'll be driving back to kw on the 27th [00:30] OK, I propose moving it to the 13th of December, 7:00pm for the IRC meeting, 8:00pm for Ubuntu Hour Waterloo [00:30] I'm free the 13th.. [00:32] Sounds good [00:32] We're agreed! [00:32] Yay! I'll work on updating calendars and such [00:33] next... [00:34] LoCo renewal... [00:34] dscassel says he hasn't been approached about renewal yet, but we should probably start working on it [00:34] I haven't heard anything. [00:35] I've been trying to keep the Team Reports up-to-date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/TeamReports/ [00:35] They just did Asturia. They may be going alphabetically [00:36] Thanks, Bob! [00:37] 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] 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] I've been a teensy bit swamped, so I may ask for help. [00:37] Like today's IRC meeting, f'rinstance http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2066/detail/ [00:38] We get enough people coming out to events, but there's no indication of that on the LoCo events page. [00:38] I may be able to lend a hand. [00:38] We've got photos. They like photos. [00:40] 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] And yes, we should probably update the web page too. [00:42] Segue! [00:42] dscassel was proposing a Web Site Upgrade Party [00:42] "promising" is perhaps to seeing a term. [00:43] S/seeing/strong/ [00:44] A nice up-to-date Web page wouldn't hurt our chances at renewal [00:44] I'll mention it to txwikinger. [00:46] A web page update blitz is a good idea. I just need to carve out a time. [00:49] Anything else? [00:50] Make sure to invite txwikinger to the Web Site Update Party; he has the keys to the castle [00:58] Well, that seems to be about it for today [00:59] When dscassel carves some time I'll put something about a Web Site Update Party on the LoCo calendar. [00:59] Sure [01:00] 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] If you don't mind the cold, sure! [01:02] OK, thanx everbodee! [01:02] Woo! Ubuntu hour! [01:03] Another seque [01:03] segue. Fingers don't work too well [01:04] going AFK and offline [01:15] did the meeting finish ?? [01:16] if you don't answer me I will leave Ubuntu and go back to windows [01:18] the most annoying statement I've ever read. Lol [01:18] Alright see you later [14:42] Bleh. "The membership of Ubuntu Canada (ubuntu-ca) in the Approved LoCo Teams (locoteams-approved) team has expired.
