| BobJonkman1 | Let's introduce ourselves... | 00:02 |
| * FiReSTaRT waves back and brb :) | 00:03 | |
| * BobJonkman1 is Bob Jonkman, from Elmira, Ontario, chairing the meeting in dscassel's absence | 00:03 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Hi komputes KombuchaKip FiReSTaRT ! | 00:03 |
| FiReSTaRT | hi BobJonkman1 | 00:03 |
| * komputes is David Bensimon from Montreal, doing support and QA | 00:03 | |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: What's on the agenda and what has the LoCo produced or is currently producing? | 00:04 |
| BobJonkman1 | KombuchaKip: Agenda is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-02-28 | 00:04 |
| * FiReSTaRT is Ilija from E-dot, mostly a desktop user, but i do a bit of support | 00:04 | |
| BobJonkman1 | It seems there was no LoCo Council meeting this month; the #ubuntu-meeting channel was quiet at the time it was supposed to take place. | 00:05 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: There's nothing there other than to for people to say hello, which we've already done? | 00:05 |
| BobJonkman1 | There's a couple of upcoming events, so: | 00:05 |

| BobJonkman1 | #subtopic UbuntuGlobalJam | 00:06 |
| * BobJonkman1 is getting used to meetingology, the Ubuntu Meeting Bot | 00:06 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Hopefully meetingology will make doing minutes &c. easier | 00:06 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: UDS isn't an ubuntu-ca event, and the global jam you can't do without a specific real community space? | 00:06 |
| BobJonkman1 | True about UDS, but the Ubuntu Global Jam can be done anywhere people can get together. | 00:07 |
| BobJonkman1 | Could be done in someone's living room.... Just needs a space to put your laptop, and Internet connectivity | 00:08 |
| BobJonkman1 | In Kitchener we're taking a regular Ubuntu Hour and turning it into a Global Jam event just by distributing the latest Raring Ringtail release, and installing it on a laptop or several | 00:09 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: But people can't "get together" on freenode the way LoCo's like UVLC interprets, as in a real physical space with a real sense of community building. As for someone's living room, that's fine too, but I don't see that listed on the agenda either. | 00:09 |
| komputes | I'm interested in attending an online global jam. | 00:09 |
| BobJonkman1 | If there's issues during the isntalls we can report it in Launchpad | 00:10 |
| FiReSTaRT | by the time it's out of beta, those should be ironed out | 00:10 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: I think you're missing the point. The point isn't to engage in technology, but to engage in real community, albeit brought together with technology as a focal point - but in person. | 00:10 |
| komputes | And if anyone has bugs and they are shy to report them, feel free to come and ask me for guidance. | 00:10 |
| KombuchaKip | Anyways, I got to get back to work. We're working on a big project right now with my home loco of UVLC. | 00:11 |
| BobJonkman1 | KombuchaKip: It seems that the people who normally organize large-scale community events are not available this time around. New volunteers to organize a physical get-together are welcome to step up | 00:11 |
| FiReSTaRT | good luck KombuchaKip | 00:11 |
| * KombuchaKip waves | 00:11 | |
| BobJonkman1 | OK KombuchaKip, see you later! | 00:11 |
| BobJonkman1 | What KombuchaKip said about engaging community is being done in Ubuntu Hours | 00:12 |
| BobJonkman1 | Of which we can use more... | 00:12 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yes, getting together in person is desirable, but even the UDS organizers are moving that event to online | 00:12 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: One of the things we are doing with uvlc is bring people together with tangible projects, like our Viking Lander Remastered project. | 00:13 |
| KombuchaKip | BobJonkman1: Which is part of the Avaneya project. | 00:13 |
| BobJonkman1 | Also, I'm finding that many meeting locations are closing their doors to community projects that don't generate revenue for them | 00:13 |
| BobJonkman1 | University of Toronto is making life difficult for the Toronto LUG, for example, | 00:14 |
| komputes | KoWhy is that? | 00:14 |
| BobJonkman1 | And we haven't been able to book a community centre in Waterloo due to the expense (some $120 for three hours) | 00:14 |
| BobJonkman1 | $120 may not sound like much, but it's a significant hurdle (otherwise we'd be doing it) | 00:15 |
| komputes | A coffeeshop would be cheaper | 00:15 |
| BobJonkman1 | In Waterloo the Kwartzlab makerspace has been very generous in providing a venue (thanx to Darcy and txwikinger) | 00:15 |
| komputes | Maybe a company that uses/supports Ubuntu in Toronto could sponsor or host the event? | 00:16 |
| BobJonkman1 | komputes: Coffeeshops don't seem to mind an UbuntuHour every so often, but other restaurant venues don't seem to like meetings | 00:16 |
| komputes | Central Reference Library on Bloor and Yonge perhaps? | 00:17 |
| BobJonkman1 | After the third time our Ubuntu Hour reservation wasn't honoured at a local restaurant we went elsewhere. | 00:17 |
| BobJonkman1 | komputes: Libraries are charging for meetings too, especially if you need a screen and projector | 00:18 |
| BobJonkman1 | Anyway, due to lack of other Global Jam events in the KW area we've rebranded our Ubuntu Hour tomorrow to be part of the Global Jam event. That and the Vancouver Global Jam event is it for Canada | 00:19 |
| BobJonkman1 | Unless someone puts something together by the weekend. | 00:20 |
| BobJonkman1 | Global Jam is a working event, so the focus really is on the technology. Yes, it's the community doing that, but Global Jam is more than just a party. It's a trial of the new release, a bug fixing session, a translation session, a documentation session. | 00:21 |
| BobJonkman1 | The other big event is UDS, the Developer Summit. It's now going to be an online event, next week on 5 & 6 March | 00:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | There seems to be remarkably little information online about a shedule. http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1303/ seems to have the most info | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | So far there are only three events on the UDS calendar for Tuesday morning | 00:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | Anyway, let's move on. | 00:28 |
| BobJonkman1 | #topic Canadian Team LoCo Renewal | 00:28 |

| doktah | evening gentlemen | 00:29 |
| BobJonkman1 | Hi doktah | 00:29 |
| BobJonkman1 | It would be really good to get our LoCo status renewed in March, so that we're eligible for Ubuntu-branded disks for the release of 13.04 in April | 00:30 |
| doktah | how does one go about doing that? | 00:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | We never did update our ReApproval Application this month: It would be really good to get our LoCo | 00:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Oops, cut'n'paste error. ReApproval Application page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012 | 00:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | doktah: As far as I know, we make a request to the LoCo Council for them to discuss our ReApproval at one of their meetings. | 00:31 |
| komputes | I won't be there to put my +1 but yeah, i did that for ubuntu-qc | 00:32 |
| BobJonkman1 | We provide evidence of our activities and dedication to Ubuntu, and provide a roadmap of what we're planning | 00:32 |
| doktah | anywhere in Canada can be included? | 00:33 |
| BobJonkman1 | We've gathered some of that evidence in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012 but there's a lot of holes and polishing to be done | 00:33 |
| BobJonkman1 | doktah: All of Canada is included, although Quebec has their own LoCo https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuebecTeam | 00:34 |
| doktah | ahhh | 00:34 |
| doktah | there's a volenteer run community computer service place where I live | 00:34 |
| BobJonkman1 | And Vancouver has their own LoCo as well https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Vancouver | 00:34 |
| doktah | they do a lot for Ubuntu | 00:35 |
| BobJonkman1 | doktah: Great! that's the kind of place where we can use some of those disks | 00:35 |
| doktah | install it on people's systems and promoting it more than their Windows licenses | 00:35 |
| BobJonkman1 | doktah: If you have a few minutes, add it to the ReApproval page | 00:35 |
| doktah | can do | 00:36 |
| BobJonkman1 | I really want to have an online session where we finish polishing up that page, and just generally go through the pages under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam so that it looks presentable | 00:37 |
| BobJonkman1 | There's a lot that's changed since those pages were first set up, and I'd like it all to be ship-shape for the LoCo Council, the better for them to ReApprove us | 00:38 |
| BobJonkman1 | What would be a preferred date for us to work on the ReApproval page? | 00:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | The next LoCo Council meeting is on 19 March, so I'd like to have it done by then, if possible | 00:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | How does Saturday, 9 March sound? | 00:41 |
| * BobJonkman1 will let that percolate until the end of the meeting... | 00:42 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Does anyone have any other stuff? | 00:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | OK, since there seems to be nothing else, and no-one is objecting to the 9 March date, I'll set up an online event for ReApproval Page polishing. | 00:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | #action BobJonkman1 to create event for ReApproval Page polishing for Saturday, 9 March 2013 | 00:52 |
| meetingology | ACTION: BobJonkman1 to create event for ReApproval Page polishing for Saturday, 9 March 2013 | 00:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | And I guess that's it! Thanx, everybodeee! | 00:52 |

| jlamothe | edve: In case you were wondering, I got the Java plugin working. Turns out I had the JRE installed, but not the plugin. I was not helped that it's called icedtea-plugin, and not java-plugin. | 16:25 |
| johanbr | edve: la RPi fonctionne assez bien comme serveur web aussi, ou peut-être tu veux quelque chose en peu plus puissant et avec gigabit ethernet, comme ARM Kirkwood (Iomega Iconnect, Seagate Goflex, Pogoplug, ...) | 16:40 |
