[03:34] <grantbow> anyone interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Representative-Letters ? we can talk about it any day this week at 7:30 PM
[03:34] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Representative-Letters - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:43] <akk> I'm interested in theory ... got a little muddled when there was debate on the ML over whether it was good or bad, and was hoping to see someone post a summary/consensus.
[03:44] <akk> I'm not clear at this point on what the letters will say, and how to interest politicians in a technical conference.
[04:02] <grantbow> akk: that's the challenge
[04:03] <grantbow> at a minimum awareness will be raised
[04:04] <grantbow> Which part of the mail list discussion do you think was muddled?
[04:05] <grantbow> The challenge is just to craft the text of the letters which is what I hope I get some help working on.
[04:05] <grantbow> or I'll just do what I can if nobody else steps forward.
[04:06] <akk> Hmm, looks like I didn't save the messages that got me muddled (I said I was muddled, not that people posting were :)
[04:07] <akk> and the ones I saved are pretty much in agreement, though vague on what sorts of things to say.
[04:07] <grantbow> ah, that's where lists.ubuntu.com archives can help
[04:07] <akk> Do we know yet what the topic of the keynote is?
[04:07] <grantbow> I haven't heard yet but that is a great question.
[04:08] <akk> Sometimes keynotes can be fairly techy, but other times, they're accessible to anyone.
[04:10] <akk> I don't remember last year's Oakland keynote but I vaguely remember it fairly techy.
[04:10] <grantbow> past keynotes have been pretty accessible and are all available online
[04:10] <akk> Oh, yeah, wasn't it all about details of some cloud initiative that didn't make any sense if you weren't already familiar with the project?
[04:11] <akk> Google is failing me, I can't find the topic.
[04:11] <grantbow> http://www.youtube.com/feed/UCWUDCz-Q0m4qK7lkK4CevQA is one of the feeds
[04:11] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu Contributor Channel - YouTube]
[04:12] <akk> Yeah, I found some video links
[04:12] <akk> but can't find anything that just gives a sentence or two on what the damn thing was about.
[04:12] <akk> I'm not gonna re-watch the whole talk just to find out the topic.

[04:13] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu UDS R - Mark Shuttleworth Keynote - YouTube]
[04:14] <grantbow> dinner time, brb
[04:14] <akk> How is it that there is nothing in text about it anywhere?
[04:14] <akk> Even a schedule from UDS.
[18:52] <pleia2> hm

[21:05] <darthrobot> Title: [Welcome to KPLUG —]
[21:06] <philipballew> grantbow, yeah, I have nothing going on and they needed someone
[21:06] <philipballew> Im gonna try to hit 20 lugs this year for the loco/ubuntu project.
[21:07] <grantbow> awesome, when can we schedule you for balug.org and svlug.org? How about a dvlug.org podcast interview?
[21:08] <philipballew> I want to do all of those yes
[21:08] <philipballew> over summer would work?
[21:09] <philipballew> and gonna try to get to reno and las vegas we well

[21:09] <darthrobot> Title: [balug:balug_speaker_coordination [BALUG Wiki]]
[21:10] <grantbow> If you give me warning before showing up at dvlug.org Ian, Bethany and I will be ready on a 2nd or 4th Friday (currently)
[21:10] <grantbow> svlug.org is always looking for speakers too
[21:11] <grantbow> http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/volunteers
[21:11] <darthrobot> Title: [volunteers Info Page]
[21:11] <grantbow> That's all you should need to begin to schedule things
[21:11] <grantbow> for those three
[21:12] <philipballew> I can do may I think.
[21:12] <grantbow> UDS month :-)
[21:12] <philipballew> I need to find people at scale to talk to as well i think
[21:12] <philipballew> I will be there one way or another probably
[21:13] <grantbow> how is the lug contact project going?
[21:13] <grantbow> err, user groups. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups
[21:13] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups - Ubuntu Wiki]
[21:14] <grantbow> care to add your name to the projet description?
[21:14] <philipballew> Good, I am reaching out to every lug to attempt to speak first as I feel speaking about the loco is the best way to get the info out. And if I can not speak, I will attempt to send them info about us via email, or possibly send them some flyers and a couple stickers and cd's
[21:14]  * philipballew adds
[21:15]  * grantbow smiles
[21:15] <philipballew> There are more I will add
[21:15] <philipballew> I am trying to contact fresno and Stockton right now
[21:15] <grantbow> let me know if I can do anything but I'll let you run with it :-)
[21:16] <philipballew> Im considering making a chipin to raise the 200 dollars for bus money it will take to travel.
[21:16]  * philipballew needs something to do over summer
[21:16] <grantbow> I am glad those pages are going to some good use now
[21:16] <grantbow> http://www.chipin.com ? that's new to me.
[21:16] <darthrobot> Title: [ChipIn]
[21:17] <grantbow> uh, shutting down March 7
[21:17] <philipballew> Yeah, I was making something like that.
[21:18] <grantbow> there are others. I used another one for dreamfish.com
[21:18] <philipballew> so not necessarily that. but maybe a kickstarter or one of those fund raiser things
[21:19] <grantbow> I used indiegogo linked from http://www.grantbow.com/dreamfish.html
[21:19] <darthrobot> Title: [GrantBow Home]
[21:19] <grantbow> hmm, forgot to change the title on that page
[21:20] <grantbow> I have to run - ttyl :-)
[21:24] <philipballew> peace
[21:37] <pleia2> philipballew: yay! glad it's useful, when I was writing the ones I put up there I was thinking "this is all so elementary, why am I writing what someone else must have already?"
[21:37] <pleia2> hence uploading to spreadubuntu when I was done :)
[21:38] <philipballew> Thank you. I figured why reinvent the wheal and do more work then I have to on making it, so I can spend more time working on giving it.
[21:39] <pleia2> exactly :)
[21:40] <philipballew> Im curious as to who shows up to a lug on Valentines day myself.
