[23:03] <BobJonkman> #topic Introductions: Who are you, where are you, what do you do with Ubuntu?
[23:03] <BobJonkman> I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, just slightly north of Waterloo.
[23:03] <KombuchaKip> Hey 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] <BobJonkman> I'm a systems administrator, got Ubuntu server on a few machines...
[23:03] <BobJonkman> Hi KombuchaKip!
[23:04] <azend> I'm azend from Guelph; Very close to Elmira and KW
[23:04] <BobJonkman>  Thought I might be alone in here...
[23:04] <BobJonkman> Hi azend!
[23:04] <KombuchaKip> BobJonkman: Hey Bob.
[23:04] <azend> Hi BobJonkman
[23:05] <BobJonkman> Little distracted here.  I'm at Al Madina, and my Schawarma Poutine is almost ready
[23:06] <azend> That does sound distracting
[23:06] <BobJonkman> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-05-23 has the agenda for today
[23:07] <BobJonkman> First item:
[23:07] <BobJonkman> #topic Canadian Team ReApproval
[23:07] <BobJonkman> And the news is: We're re-approved!
[23:07] <azend> Woohoo!
[23:07] <BobJonkman> The good news came to us a few days after the last meeting.
[23:08] <azend> Great work guys!
[23:08] <BobJonkman> For some reason, it was delayed, and had to go through a Launchpad bug process.
[23:08] <BobJonkman> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075848 is the bug report (and resolution) for our reapproval
[23:09] <BobJonkman> I like that, "Critical, fix released"
[23:10] <azend> Me too
[23:11] <BobJonkman> Thanx again to everyone who helped out with that
[23:12] <BobJonkman> bregma spoke at the LoCo meeting; dscassel wrote some words, kbiefer helped with the ReApproval page...
[23:12] <BobJonkman> And lots of other folk too!
[23:13] <azend> And I did nothing which is why I'm thanking those who did :)
[23:15] <BobJonkman> Hey, you're with us in spirit!
[23:15] <BobJonkman> And with us now!
[23:15] <azend> :)
[23:15] <BobJonkman> On to the next topic:
[23:16] <BobJonkman> #topic Events, past and present
[23:16] <BobJonkman> We're about to launch into an UbuntuHour right after the IRC meeting.
[23:16] <BobJonkman> Slayah is here with me.  Hi Slayah!
[23:17] <Slayah> Hello.
[23:17] <azend> Hi Slayah
[23:17] <BobJonkman> But the big news is all the Ubuntu Release Parties we had over the last month
[23:18] <azend> Certainly
[23:18] <azend> They were a lot of fun
[23:18] <azend> I wasn't able to make it out but I hope the one in Toronto was fun
[23:19] <BobJonkman> Various pictures at http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/464470/detailed (KW)
[23:19] <BobJonkman> http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed has the Guelph pics
[23:19] <BobJonkman> Yay to azend for organizing the Guelph venue.
[23:20]  * azend thanks BobJonkman for taking some pictures as he forgot.
[23:20] <azend> Bigger and better the next time I hope
[23:20] <BobJonkman> I think there may be more pictures coming (not sure tho)
[23:21] <BobJonkman> I'm thinking we should put up an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter on the wiki
[23:21] <azend> I would be happy to
[23:21] <BobJonkman> Great!
[23:22] <BobJonkman> #action azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki
[23:22] <meetingology> ACTION: azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki
[23:22] <azend> uh oh
[23:22] <azend> what am I getting myself into? :P
[23:22] <BobJonkman> Now it's official.  No backing out! :)
[23:23] <BobJonkman> If you still have access to Diyode facilities, maybe you can host the June IRC meeting IRL
[23:25] <BobJonkman> Or not.  Just an idea.
[23:25] <azend> I could do that
[23:25] <azend> I would have to be organized but I could do that
[23:25] <BobJonkman> #idea The newly formed Guelph Chapter could host the IRC Meeting IRL
[23:26]  * azend learns that a wiki page constitutes a real life chapter
[23:26]  * BobJonkman adds some more hot sauce to the Schawarma Poutine
[23:26] <azend> I would be happy to host a meeting
[23:26] <BobJonkman> Hey, if it's on the Internet, it must be true.
[23:27] <BobJonkman> Could host an Ubuntu Hour the same way...  </hint>
[23:28] <BobJonkman> Moving on...
[23:28] <BobJonkman> subtopic Online events
[23:28] <BobJonkman> #subtopic Online events
[23:28]  * azend looked away
[23:28] <azend> online events!
[23:28] <BobJonkman> Did anyone attend any of hthe UDS or Ubuntu Open Week events?
[23:28] <azend> I didn't..
[23:29] <azend> and it looks like it's just you and me BobJonkman
[23:29] <BobJonkman> :)
[23:30] <BobJonkman> I sat in on the IRC discussion for the LoCo chapter subdivision discussion.
[23:30] <BobJonkman> Same 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.
[23:31] <azend> I think this is all I've got http://imgur.com/a/7knay
[23:31] <BobJonkman> Sadly, most of that meeting took place in a Google Hangout, which doesn't work on a computer running only on F/LOSS
[23:32] <BobJonkman> And I don't think the IRC discussion for that was archived beyond the IRC Log Bot
[23:32] <azend> That's both true and rather ironic
[23:32] <azend> aren't the hangout sessions recorded and posted to youtube afterwards?
[23:32] <BobJonkman> Yes, but they lack the IRC portion of the discussion
[23:33] <BobJonkman> There was also an Ubuntu (Ether)pad in progress; I don't know what happened with that.
[23:33] <azend> Etherpad is awesome these days
[23:34] <azend> I'm really happy with how far they've come
[23:34] <BobJonkman> If anyone's interested, I can find the links to the video, IRC logs and UbuntuPad
[23:34] <BobJonkman> Yeh, I've been running an Etherpad VM appliance.
[23:34] <BobJonkman> But I like that Ubuntu is hosting its own Pad service
[23:35] <BobJonkman> Better than relying on Google Docs
[23:36] <azend> Very true
[23:36] <BobJonkman> Moving on?
[23:36] <azend> Definately
[23:36] <BobJonkman> #topic Other stuff
[23:37] <BobJonkman> I have nothing
[23:37] <azend> Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials
[23:38] <BobJonkman> Oh?
[23:38] <azend> it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer
[23:38] <azend> KwartzLab for instance has a great printer
[23:38] <azend> it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something
[23:39] <azend> I 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 off
[23:39] <azend> Just an idea.
[23:40] <azend> #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers
[23:41] <azend> Those interested can come and contact me
[23:41] <azend> ouch...
[23:41] <azend> I didn't know he hated my idea that much..
[23:41] <Slayah> He just pinged out
[23:41] <BobJonkman1> Is that where you got your party poster? http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed
[23:41] <azend> Slayah: I know :P
[23:41]  * BobJonkman1 is back
 #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers

[23:42] <azend> <-- BobJonkman (~BobJonkma@CPE00222dd67418-CM00222dd67415.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
 ouch...
 I didn't know he hated my idea that much..
[23:42] <BobJonkman1> It's a great idea!
[23:42] <azend> Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials
[23:42] <azend> Oh?
[23:42] <azend> it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer
[23:42] <azend> KwartzLab for instance has a great printer
[23:42] <azend> it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something
[23:42] <azend> I 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 off
[23:42] <azend> Just an idea.
[23:42] <azend> BobJonkman1: no. I did not get my poster from KwartzLab
[23:43] <azend> that was printed at my school and then carried through cambridge to guelph on a long and arduous travel path
[23:43] <BobJonkman1> #idea: Get some local makerspaces to print promotional posters for distribution to Canadian Team members
[23:43] <azend> But the poster looked pretty good
[23:44] <azend> BobJonkman1: Look at you. Getting the command verb correct.
[23:44] <BobJonkman1> Sure did!
[23:45] <BobJonkman1> (that was meant for "the poster Sure Did look good", not "I Sure Did get that command verb correct"
[23:45] <azend> I got that :)
[23:46] <BobJonkman1> azend: Are you on the Ubuntu-ca mailing list?
[23:46] <azend> It would be nice to get some stickers together though
[23:46] <azend> BobJonkman1: I believe so
[23:46] <azend> Yes I am
[23:47] <BobJonkman1> The mailing list might be the best place to coordinate poster requests (and possible printing locations)
[23:47] <azend> Sure
[23:48] <BobJonkman1> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca  for subscribing to the mailing list, for anyone who is interested
[23:49] <BobJonkman1> azend: 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] <azend> Sure.
[23:50] <azend> I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode
[23:50] <Slayah> He pinged out again
[23:50] <azend> Slayah: darn him
[23:51] <BobJonkman2> Sorry. Just switch WiFi APs
[23:51] <azend> Wind mobile eh? That's why.
[23:51] <BobJonkman2> Actually, I just connected to my phone tether.  The restaurant WiFi was flakey.
[23:51] <azend> That makes sense
[23:51] <azend> Restaurant wifi is even worse than Wind
[23:52] <BobJonkman2> So:
[23:52] <azend> Sure.
[23:52] <azend> I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode
[23:52] <BobJonkman2> #action azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers
[23:52] <meetingology> ACTION: azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers
[23:53] <BobJonkman2> That's probably the coolest thing anyone's come up with in one of these IRC meetings in a long time
[23:54] <azend> Trust me, I didn't think too hard on it.
[23:54] <azend> but I would love an ubuntu canada sticker on my laptop
[23:55] <BobJonkman2> There's always room for another sticker!
[23:56] <BobJonkman2> OK, approaching the end of the IRC hour.
[23:56] <azend> I hadn't realized that it has been an hour already
[23:57] <azend> time flies
[23:57] <BobJonkman2> Time flies like an arrow.  Fruit flies like a banana.
[23:57] <azend> Does anyone else have anything else to bring up

[23:58] <BobJonkman2> Next meeting for 27 June? That's a Thursday...
[23:58] <azend> Sounds good to me
[23:58] <BobJonkman2> Or we can delay setting a date until you've confirmed a venue for IRC IRL
[23:58] <azend> I can't do Wednesdays anyways
[23:58] <azend> Thursdays work though
[23:58] <azend> Oh right
[23:59] <azend> I forgot I was hosting it
[23:59] <azend> Yeah sounds fine
[23:59] <BobJonkman2> :-) I'll add the events & stuff for the meeting, I'll leave it to azend to create an event for the IRL
