BobJonkman1I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, (currently at Almadina restaurant in anticipation of Ubuntu Hour) contact for Ubuntu Canada and chairing the meeting until dscassel gets here23:04
azendI'm Verdi from Guelph.23:06
BobJonkman1Hi azend!23:07
azendI don't think I've ever made a meeting because I either forget or it's just at a bad time23:08
BobJonkman1Well, you didn't forget :) Is it a bad time?23:08
azendNo.23:08
azendYou just caught me coding up some C++23:09
BobJonkman1Great! I'm just waiting for Katherine to show up - she's just connecting to the WiFi now.23:09
BobJonkman1azend: Are you working on something Ubuntish?23:09
azendHeh I wish23:10
azendBut it will run on a debian-ed raspberry pi23:10
BobJonkman1Close enough!23:10
azendor Ubuntu technically23:10
azendSo BobJonkman1, while we're waiting, how do you feel about Mir?23:12
BobJonkman1There you are! Hi Katherine!23:12
KatherineHi Bob!23:12
BobJonkman1I haven't checked it out at all. But philosophically I'm in favour of refactoring old code to remove all the legacy X stuff23:13
BobJonkman1In practice, I'm not so sure that Canonical is going about it the right way.23:13
BobJonkman1OK, I guess we'll move on to the next23:14

BobJonkman1There was only a brief Ubuntu Global Jam in Kitchener-Waterloo that piggybacked on Ubuntu Hour23:15
azendbbiab23:16
BobJonkman1http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/3178393/size/800 is a picture of us at the Jam/Hour23:18
BobJonkman1I didn't attend any of the online hangouts for the UDS...23:19
BobJonkman1But Katherine and I were both at the coffeeshop for the Page Polishing Party23:19
BobJonkman1https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam received quite a facelift23:21
BobJonkman1Did anyone go to UbuntuSDKDays?23:22
BobJonkman1Finally in Events, the LoCo Council meeting did not take place on 19 March23:23
BobJonkman1Apparently there were no items on their agenda.23:23
BobJonkman1I did not know that we were required to add our own ReApproval request to the agenda.23:24
BobJonkman1The next LoCo Council Meeting is on 16 April 2013 at 4:00pm EDT (although there have been glitches with Daylight Saving Time, so that might be off by an hour)23:26
BobJonkman1It seem the LoCo Council Agenda page has not yet been updated for this meeting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda (still says 19 March 2013)23:27
BobJonkman1I haven't added our ReApproval Request yet, because I will not be available on 16 April, and *someone* from Ubuntu-ca needs to attend23:28
BobJonkman1So, any volunteers?23:28
BobJonkman1OK, we'll leave that for the moment23:29
BobJonkman1#help Need someone to attend the LoCo Council meeting on 16 April 2013 at 4:00pm EDT to represent Ubuntu-ca for the ReApproval Request23:30
BobJonkman1OK, onwards, I guess.23:31
BobJonkman1#subtopic Ubuntu Release Parties23:31
BobJonkman1Q: Are there any planned for Canada?23:32
BobJonkman1#idea We could delay the Release Party until the RaringRingtail CD/DVDs have arrived (which requires that Ubuntu-ca gets their re-approval first)23:33
BobJonkman1That way we'll have something more to give away than devilled eggs and burned DVDs marked up with sharpie markers23:34
BobJonkman1But first we need to find venues23:34
* bregma wakes up23:34
BobJonkman1Howdy, bregma!23:35
bregmahey23:35
KatherineHi bregma23:35
bregmasorry to go back a topic, but if you need a volunteer for the lococouncil, I can probably show up23:36
BobJonkman1Slow meeting.  azend stepped out, and Katherine can talk to me in person23:36
BobJonkman1bregma: Great!23:36
bregmaI'm not quite sure what I'd need to do23:36
azendI'm back23:36
BobJonkman1Quorum is achieved!23:36
BobJonkman1(not that I know what quorum is)23:36
azendJust need to read the backlog first.23:36
BobJonkman1https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012 is the page with our ReApproval info23:37
BobJonkman1Hopefully you can just point the LoCo Council there, and it'll speak for itself.23:37
BobJonkman1(you == bregma)23:37
bregmamkay, sounds easy enough23:38
BobJonkman1bregma: Will you add our ReApproval request to the LoCo Council agenda?23:38
azendWhen are the install CD/DVDs set to arrive?23:39
bregmasure, I can do that23:39
bregmamore buy-in for me23:39
BobJonkman1azend: Typically, CD/DVDs arrive 2 to 4 weeks after release23:39
BobJonkman1dscassel gets them, but has had to pay duty/tariff/taxes/fees to get them across the border23:40
BobJonkman1At a previous meeting someone said either that shouldn't happen, or there's a way to get reimbursed23:40
azendBobJonkman1: I wouldn't mind running my first Ubuntu launch party in Guelph23:40
BobJonkman1Zounds!  That's great, azend!  I'm a mere 20 minutes from Guelph (by car), so I'll come!23:41
KatherineI can't get to Guelph on local public transit23:41
BobJonkman1#action azend offers to host an Ubuntu Release Party in Guelph23:42
meetingologyACTION: azend offers to host an Ubuntu Release Party in Guelph23:42
azendI've been to a few of dscassel's parties @KwartzLab in the past and they were fun23:42
BobJonkman1Katherine: I'm sure some kind soul from KW may be available for carpooling23:42
KatherineI'll keep that in mind23:43
azendI'm in KW every day23:43
azendIt isn't a fun bus ride23:43
azendBut the greyhound isn't bad if you're nearby the terminals23:44
BobJonkman1I'm not sure how often GO Transit makes the trip. Probably not on weekends.23:44
azendDon't ride go. You get stuck out by aberfoyle for like an hour at most times23:45
BobJonkman1Yech.  Aberfoyle is nice, but not from the inside of a GO bus23:45
KatherineI don't mind riding intercity buses, I just can't afford to pay for the rides right now23:45
BobJonkman1I'm sure the Vancouver LoCo will have some kind of Release Party event23:46
azendYou're not in a GO bus; You're in a small terribly heated glass box23:46
BobJonkman1And genii-around is usually good for a party in Toronto23:46
BobJonkman1And dscassel may offer Kwartzlab again in KW23:46
BobJonkman1Party, party party! (and it's not even Friday)23:46
bregmaI'll probably be celebrating by catching up on sleep23:46
BobJonkman1bregma: You're in Quebec, aren't you?23:47
dscasselOh, hey! Meeting!23:47
bregmanope, nearth Perth, ON23:47
BobJonkman1Oh, hey! dscassel!23:47
dscasselSorry, I've gotta pack for my trip home, but I can check in occasionally.23:47
KatherineHi dscassel23:47
BobJonkman1bregma: So we can expect a Perth Release Party?23:47
BobJonkman1OK, dscassel. There'll be minutes and such.  We won't volunteer you for too much/23:48
bregmaI think the other guy here that uses Ubuntu may be away at school that day23:48
BobJonkman1bregma: :)  Perth is just north-west of KW, isn't it?23:48
bregmano, that's Perth County, people always mix them up23:49
BobJonkman1Guilty as charged.23:49
BobJonkman1OK, that's Release Parties wrapped up. azend, keep us posted on the mailing list!  Looking forward to it!23:50

BobJonkman1I guess bregma is taking care of our representation for the LoCo renewal23:51

meetingologyACTION: bregma is taking care of our representation for the LoCo renewal23:51
BobJonkman1Anything else?23:52
BobJonkman1Has anyone been looking at the Ubuntu On Air stuff?23:52
BobJonkman1http://ubuntuonair.com/23:53
dscasselI do sometimes, but not the last few weeks.23:53
dscasselWork's been hectic.23:53
BobJonkman1Looks like IRC meetings, but with voice and video23:53
dscasselBasically.23:53
bregmait's much like vUDS23:54
dscasselJono does his Q&A thing there as well.  Which if you have any questions or concerns, is a good place to bring them up.23:54
azendI looked at watched the first one23:54
BobJonkman1I saw part of something with Jono Bacon, Elizabeth Krumbach and Laura Czajkowski.23:55
BobJonkman1Randall Ross was there too.  Might have been a vUDS at that.23:55
BobJonkman1I had to find a different computer to view the video, since this one is Googlefree. Would be nice if the whole thing could be hosted on Ubuntu servers.  Google has enough of my demographic profile without giving them my Ubuntu interests23:57
BobJonkman1OK, it's approaching 8:00pm at Almadina and the rest of the timezone.23:58
bregmawell, I wouldn't be suprized if "Ubuntu servers" were virtual servers running on a google farm23:58
bregmaor on Microsoft Azure even23:58
BobJonkman1bregma: You might be right. I'm logged into irc.ubuntu.com but it's just Feenode.net by a different name23:59
bregmaall that cloudy stuff makes my head swim23:59
BobJonkman1bregma: Really?!?23:59
bregmagive me silicon23:59
BobJonkman1("Really?!?" was directed at MS Azure, not bregma's swimming head)23:59
