BobJonkmanI'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, just slightly north of Waterloo.23:03
KombuchaKipHey everyone. I'm Kip, based near Vancouver, Canada, and I'm project lead behind the Avaneya initiative, a cerebral science fiction game for GNU/Linux. <www.avaneya.com>23:03
BobJonkmanI'm a systems administrator, got Ubuntu server on a few machines...23:03
BobJonkmanHi KombuchaKip!23:03
azendI'm azend from Guelph; Very close to Elmira and KW23:04
BobJonkman Thought I might be alone in here...23:04
BobJonkmanHi azend!23:04
KombuchaKipBobJonkman: Hey Bob.23:04
azendHi BobJonkman23:04
BobJonkmanLittle distracted here.  I'm at Al Madina, and my Schawarma Poutine is almost ready23:05

BobJonkmanAnd the news is: We're re-approved!23:07
azendWoohoo!23:07
BobJonkmanThe good news came to us a few days after the last meeting.23:07
azendGreat work guys!23:08
BobJonkmanFor some reason, it was delayed, and had to go through a Launchpad bug process.23:08
BobJonkmanhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075848 is the bug report (and resolution) for our reapproval23:08
lubotu1Ubuntu bug 1075848 in Ubuntu LoCo Teams "Re-approval, ubuntu-ca" [Critical,Fix released]23:08
BobJonkmanI like that, "Critical, fix released"23:09
azendMe too23:10
BobJonkmanThanx again to everyone who helped out with that23:11
BobJonkmanbregma spoke at the LoCo meeting; dscassel wrote some words, kbiefer helped with the ReApproval page...23:12
BobJonkmanAnd lots of other folk too!23:12
azendAnd I did nothing which is why I'm thanking those who did :)23:13

BobJonkmanWe're about to launch into an UbuntuHour right after the IRC meeting.23:16
BobJonkmanSlayah is here with me.  Hi Slayah!23:16
SlayahHello.23:17
azendHi Slayah23:17
BobJonkmanBut the big news is all the Ubuntu Release Parties we had over the last month23:17
azendCertainly23:18
azendThey were a lot of fun23:18
azendI wasn't able to make it out but I hope the one in Toronto was fun23:18
BobJonkmanVarious pictures at http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/464470/detailed (KW)23:19
BobJonkmanhttp://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed has the Guelph pics23:19
BobJonkmanYay to azend for organizing the Guelph venue.23:19
* azend thanks BobJonkman for taking some pictures as he forgot.23:20
azendBigger and better the next time I hope23:20
BobJonkmanI think there may be more pictures coming (not sure tho)23:20
BobJonkmanI'm thinking we should put up an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter on the wiki23:21
azendI would be happy to23:21
BobJonkmanGreat!23:21
BobJonkman#action azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki23:22
meetingologyACTION: azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki23:22
azenduh oh23:22
azendwhat am I getting myself into? :P23:22
BobJonkmanNow it's official.  No backing out! :)23:22
BobJonkmanIf you still have access to Diyode facilities, maybe you can host the June IRC meeting IRL23:23
BobJonkmanOr not.  Just an idea.23:25
azendI could do that23:25
azendI would have to be organized but I could do that23:25
BobJonkman#idea The newly formed Guelph Chapter could host the IRC Meeting IRL23:25
* azend learns that a wiki page constitutes a real life chapter23:26
* BobJonkman adds some more hot sauce to the Schawarma Poutine23:26
azendI would be happy to host a meeting23:26
BobJonkmanHey, if it's on the Internet, it must be true.23:26
BobJonkmanCould host an Ubuntu Hour the same way...  </hint>23:27
BobJonkmanMoving on...23:28
BobJonkmansubtopic Online events23:28
BobJonkman#subtopic Online events23:28
* azend looked away23:28
azendonline events!23:28
BobJonkmanDid anyone attend any of hthe UDS or Ubuntu Open Week events?23:28
azendI didn't..23:28
azendand it looks like it's just you and me BobJonkman23:29
BobJonkman:)23:29
BobJonkmanI sat in on the IRC discussion for the LoCo chapter subdivision discussion.23:30
BobJonkmanSame as before - the LoCo council is in favour of breaking up large country LoCos into provincial or state chapters; some LoCos prefer City or region chapters, others don't want sub-chapters at all.23:30
azendI think this is all I've got http://imgur.com/a/7knay23:31
BobJonkmanSadly, most of that meeting took place in a Google Hangout, which doesn't work on a computer running only on F/LOSS23:31
BobJonkmanAnd I don't think the IRC discussion for that was archived beyond the IRC Log Bot23:32
azendThat's both true and rather ironic23:32
azendaren't the hangout sessions recorded and posted to youtube afterwards?23:32
BobJonkmanYes, but they lack the IRC portion of the discussion23:32
BobJonkmanThere was also an Ubuntu (Ether)pad in progress; I don't know what happened with that.23:33
azendEtherpad is awesome these days23:33
azendI'm really happy with how far they've come23:34
BobJonkmanIf anyone's interested, I can find the links to the video, IRC logs and UbuntuPad23:34
BobJonkmanYeh, I've been running an Etherpad VM appliance.23:34
BobJonkmanBut I like that Ubuntu is hosting its own Pad service23:34
BobJonkmanBetter than relying on Google Docs23:35
azendVery true23:36
BobJonkmanMoving on?23:36
azendDefinately23:36

BobJonkmanI have nothing23:37
azendMail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials23:37
BobJonkmanOh?23:38
azendit would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer23:38
azendKwartzLab for instance has a great printer23:38
azendit would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something23:38
azendI managed to have a plotter lying around but, for those who don't, it would be cool if we could give them something to show off23:39
azendJust an idea.23:39

azendJust an idea.23:42
azendBobJonkman1: no. I did not get my poster from KwartzLab23:42
azendthat was printed at my school and then carried through cambridge to guelph on a long and arduous travel path23:43
BobJonkman1#idea: Get some local makerspaces to print promotional posters for distribution to Canadian Team members23:43
azendBut the poster looked pretty good23:43
azendBobJonkman1: Look at you. Getting the command verb correct.23:44
BobJonkman1Sure did!23:44
BobJonkman1(that was meant for "the poster Sure Did look good", not "I Sure Did get that command verb correct"23:45
azendI got that :)23:45
BobJonkman1azend: Are you on the Ubuntu-ca mailing list?23:46
azendIt would be nice to get some stickers together though23:46
azendBobJonkman1: I believe so23:46
azendYes I am23:46
BobJonkman1The mailing list might be the best place to coordinate poster requests (and possible printing locations)23:47
azendSure23:47
BobJonkman1https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca  for subscribing to the mailing list, for anyone who is interested23:48
BobJonkman1azend: Do you want to run with that? Asking on the mailing list to see who's interested in coughing up some bucks for posters or stickers?23:49
azendSure.23:49
azendI might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode23:50
SlayahHe pinged out again23:50
azendSlayah: darn him23:50
BobJonkman2Sorry. Just switch WiFi APs23:51
azendWind mobile eh? That's why.23:51
BobJonkman2Actually, I just connected to my phone tether.  The restaurant WiFi was flakey.23:51
azendThat makes sense23:51
azendRestaurant wifi is even worse than Wind23:51
BobJonkman2So:23:52
azendSure.23:52
azendI might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode23:52
BobJonkman2#action azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers23:52
meetingologyACTION: azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers23:52
BobJonkman2That's probably the coolest thing anyone's come up with in one of these IRC meetings in a long time23:53
azendTrust me, I didn't think too hard on it.23:54
azendbut I would love an ubuntu canada sticker on my laptop23:54
BobJonkman2There's always room for another sticker!23:55
BobJonkman2OK, approaching the end of the IRC hour.23:56
azendI hadn't realized that it has been an hour already23:56
azendtime flies23:57
BobJonkman2Time flies like an arrow.  Fruit flies like a banana.23:57

azendSounds good to me23:58
BobJonkman2Or we can delay setting a date until you've confirmed a venue for IRC IRL23:58
azendI can't do Wednesdays anyways23:58
azendThursdays work though23:58
azendOh right23:58
azendI forgot I was hosting it23:59
