[09:23] <dscassel> Hey, guys, we're doing this re-approval thing.  If you have anything you'd like to add, be my guest, or let us know.
[09:23] <dscassel> BobJonkman: How'd you like to be co-contact? :)
[09:23] <dscassel> 'cuz you're doing a better job of this than I am...
[09:24] <dscassel> Oh, right, Re-approval page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012
[09:24] <dscassel> mcpherrin: Has the CSC done anything Ubuntu-related (even tangentially) you'd like to give us credit for? :)
[09:26] <mcpherrin> Uh, we give out CDs and help people ubuntu-ify their laptops?  A good number of CS students find it easier to work in than Windows, so you could probably take some credit there?
[09:27] <dscassel> I kinda mean events. But CD distribution is good too. I'll try to work it in somewhere.
[09:28] <dscassel> Like when was your last install fest?
[09:28] <mcpherrin> We find that "fests" tend to work poorly, and end up just helping people install one at a time
[09:29] <mcpherrin> The last one would have been two years ago, probably
[09:30] <mcpherrin> I can't find evidence of one later than 2009 :P
[09:30] <dscassel> Okay. Fair enough.
[09:31] <mcpherrin> We've had "events" wherein people at bars get drunk and complain about how ubuntu is going to shit?
[09:31] <mcpherrin> probably doesn't count :P
[09:57] <dscassel> mcpherrin: I don't know, we can probably work with that...
[11:04] <BobJonkman> dscassel: I'm good with being a contact...
[15:53] <JemSoft> hi there,
[15:53] <JemSoft> how are you guys?
[15:53] <dscassel> JemSoft: Busy!
[15:54] <dscassel> JemSoft: how're you?
[15:54] <JemSoft> I am OK , what's keeping you busy?
[15:55] <dscassel> Ubuntu Canada re-approvals, a board meeting for my hackerspace tomorrow and painting my living room...
[15:55] <dscassel> Fun!
[15:55] <JemSoft> hehe that's fun. I am in Toronto. I want to network with Ubuntu users.
[15:55] <JemSoft> also I want to meet techie people..
[15:55] <JemSoft> any suggestions?
[15:56] <dscassel> 1) Talk to genii_around when he's around.  He doesn't appear to be currently.
[15:56] <dscassel> 2) Hacklab.to! http://hacklab.to/ Check out one of their open nights.
[15:58] <dscassel> 3) The folks at FreeGeek Toronto seem pretty awesome. I believe they're always looking for volunteers... http://freegeektoronto.org/
[15:58] <dscassel> 4) Host an Ubuntu Hour! http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour
[15:59] <dscassel> If you choose 4 (and I highly recommend it), let us know here and on the mailing list and we can help spread the word.
[16:00] <dscassel> That should get you started. :D
[16:01] <JemSoft> thanks a lot.
[16:01] <dscassel> No problem! :D
[16:02] <JemSoft> how long have you been using Ubuntu?
[16:04] <dscassel> Since 2005. Full time since 2008.
[16:04] <dscassel> (well, if you include work in "full time", then since 2011...)
[16:04] <JemSoft> interesting.
[16:05] <JemSoft> I work as a IT operations support in a MS Windows environment.
[16:05] <dscassel> That would make it hard to use Ubuntu at work... :)
[16:05] <JemSoft> But I have ubuntu in my personal desktop at home.
[16:05] <JemSoft> yes, I can't use it. Can you?
[16:05] <JemSoft> What I have noticed here in Canada, most companies are MS based..
[16:06] <dscassel> Yeah. I'm a software developer at Open Text.  I'm developing an eclipse plugin, so nothing's Windows-specific.
[16:06] <dscassel> True...
[16:06] <JemSoft> great
[16:06] <JemSoft> that's why It is handy to you.
[16:06] <JemSoft> what I have now is ubuntu 12.04, I tried 12.10 but It didn't give me good results.
[16:07] <JemSoft> too slow and errors when using virtual box.
[16:07] <JemSoft> I have some VMs win server2008 and also ubuntu server with LAMP
[16:07] <dscassel> I'm finding the unity webapp stuff to be a bit crashy, but haven't had any problems otherwise.
[16:08] <JemSoft> good for you, I will keep the 12.04 till they correct some bugs.
[16:09] <dscassel> Yeah, I'm still on 12.04 at work. I figure sticking to LTSes is safer there.
[16:13] <JemSoft> great.
[16:13] <JemSoft> in your company do they use ubuntu server?
[16:16] <JemSoft> I am leaving to have breakfast now. IT was a pleasure dscassel.
[16:21] <JemSoft> a quick questions, what is the best way to program in c++ on ubuntu?
[16:21] <JemSoft> any suggestions?
[16:36] <bregma> if JemSoft comes back, tell him to ping me, I can probably answer his technical questions
[16:40] <dscassel> Okay.
[16:40] <dscassel> I had to go afk for a minute. :/
[16:40] <dscassel> (or 20...)
[17:56] <BobJonkman> bregma, dscassel: Also, if JemSoft comes back tell him about TLUG: http://gtalug.org/wiki/Main_Page
[19:19] <JemSoft> Hola
[19:19] <JemSoft> Hi
[19:20] <IdleOne> bregma: ping
[19:21] <IdleOne> JemSoft: http://gtalug.org/wiki/Main_Page BobJonkman thought you would be interested
[19:24] <JemSoft> thanks a lot idleOne
[19:25] <JemSoft> I went out for a while. Were you the guy I was talking this morning?
[19:27] <IdleOne> I wasn't here earlier.
[19:31] <JemSoft> What's your favorite distro?>
[19:32] <JemSoft> hehe funny question
[19:34] <JemSoft> Hi Jaguar
[19:37] <Jaguar> hi JemSoft
[19:37] <JemSoft> how's it going?
[19:37] <Jaguar> its going ok here heh
[19:38] <Jaguar> i have that effect on everyone
[19:42] <jesusemelendezm> Hi
[19:55] <IdleOne> lol Jaguar :)
[22:39] <genii-around> Grey Cup kickoff in ~40 minutes :-)
[22:39]  * genii-around hollers out "Lets Go Argos!"
[22:45] <IdleOne> Is not on network tv?
[22:45] <IdleOne> only TSN seems to have it here.
[22:45] <IdleOne> I don't have TSN
[22:46] <genii-around> Ah, that sucks. I thought for sure it would be on CBC though
[22:47] <IdleOne> doesn't appear to be
[22:48] <IdleOne> Go Calgary, because I'm from Montreal and genetically unable to cheer for a Toronto team.
[22:48] <genii-around> Hehehe
[22:48] <genii-around> I understand and forgive you.
[22:49] <IdleOne> Kindness will not get me to change.
[22:49] <genii-around> :-D
[22:51] <genii-around> My brother-in-law is from LaSalle and an avid Habs fan. When I visit over holidays and there is a Toronto-Montreal game on, my sister takes the kids and goes down the street so we can heckle each other
[22:51] <IdleOne> haha
[22:53] <genii-around> One year I got the kids NHL pajamas, one Habs, one Leafs set. Somehow the Leafs set got "accidentally mangled in the washing machine"
[22:53] <IdleOne> So silly, I can listen to the game live stream from TSN radio but I can't watch it :/
[22:56] <genii-around> Yeah that is pretty weird
[23:02] <jesusemelendezm> hey people, it is very cold.
[23:35] <jesusemelendezm> hi there
