[23:03] I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, just slightly north of Waterloo. [23:03] 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. [23:03] I'm a systems administrator, got Ubuntu server on a few machines... [23:03] Hi KombuchaKip! [23:04] I'm azend from Guelph; Very close to Elmira and KW [23:04] Thought I might be alone in here... [23:04] Hi azend! [23:04] BobJonkman: Hey Bob. [23:04] Hi BobJonkman [23:05] Little distracted here. I'm at Al Madina, and my Schawarma Poutine is almost ready [23:06] That does sound distracting [23:06] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-05-23 has the agenda for today [23:07] First item: [23:07] #topic Canadian Team ReApproval === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting:Thur, 23 May 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! | Canadian Team IRC meeting of 23 May 2013 | Current topic: Canadian Team ReApproval [23:07] And the news is: We're re-approved! [23:07] Woohoo! [23:07] The good news came to us a few days after the last meeting. [23:08] Great work guys! [23:08] For some reason, it was delayed, and had to go through a Launchpad bug process. [23:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075848 is the bug report (and resolution) for our reapproval [23:08] Ubuntu bug 1075848 in Ubuntu LoCo Teams "Re-approval, ubuntu-ca" [Critical,Fix released] [23:09] I like that, "Critical, fix released" [23:10] Me too [23:11] Thanx again to everyone who helped out with that [23:12] bregma spoke at the LoCo meeting; dscassel wrote some words, kbiefer helped with the ReApproval page... [23:12] And lots of other folk too! [23:13] And I did nothing which is why I'm thanking those who did :) [23:15] Hey, you're with us in spirit! [23:15] And with us now! [23:15] :) [23:15] On to the next topic: [23:16] #topic Events, past and present === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting:Thur, 23 May 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! | Canadian Team IRC meeting of 23 May 2013 | Current topic: Events, past and present [23:16] We're about to launch into an UbuntuHour right after the IRC meeting. [23:16] Slayah is here with me. Hi Slayah! [23:17] Hello. [23:17] Hi Slayah [23:17] But the big news is all the Ubuntu Release Parties we had over the last month [23:18] Certainly [23:18] They were a lot of fun [23:18] I wasn't able to make it out but I hope the one in Toronto was fun [23:19] Various pictures at http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/464470/detailed (KW) [23:19] http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed has the Guelph pics [23:19] Yay to azend for organizing the Guelph venue. [23:20] * azend thanks BobJonkman for taking some pictures as he forgot. [23:20] Bigger and better the next time I hope [23:20] I think there may be more pictures coming (not sure tho) [23:21] I'm thinking we should put up an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter on the wiki [23:21] I would be happy to [23:21] Great! [23:22] #action azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki [23:22] ACTION: azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki [23:22] uh oh [23:22] what am I getting myself into? :P [23:22] Now it's official. No backing out! :) [23:23] If you still have access to Diyode facilities, maybe you can host the June IRC meeting IRL [23:25] Or not. Just an idea. [23:25] I could do that [23:25] I would have to be organized but I could do that [23:25] #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] I would be happy to host a meeting [23:26] Hey, if it's on the Internet, it must be true. [23:27] Could host an Ubuntu Hour the same way... [23:28] Moving on... [23:28] subtopic Online events [23:28] #subtopic Online events [23:28] * azend looked away [23:28] online events! [23:28] Did anyone attend any of hthe UDS or Ubuntu Open Week events? [23:28] I didn't.. [23:29] and it looks like it's just you and me BobJonkman [23:29] :) [23:30] I sat in on the IRC discussion for the LoCo chapter subdivision discussion. [23:30] 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] I think this is all I've got http://imgur.com/a/7knay [23:31] 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] And I don't think the IRC discussion for that was archived beyond the IRC Log Bot [23:32] That's both true and rather ironic [23:32] aren't the hangout sessions recorded and posted to youtube afterwards? [23:32] Yes, but they lack the IRC portion of the discussion [23:33] There was also an Ubuntu (Ether)pad in progress; I don't know what happened with that. [23:33] Etherpad is awesome these days [23:34] I'm really happy with how far they've come [23:34] If anyone's interested, I can find the links to the video, IRC logs and UbuntuPad [23:34] Yeh, I've been running an Etherpad VM appliance. [23:34] But I like that Ubuntu is hosting its own Pad service [23:35] Better than relying on Google Docs [23:36] Very true [23:36] Moving on? [23:36] Definately [23:36] #topic Other stuff === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting:Thur, 23 May 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! | Canadian Team IRC meeting of 23 May 2013 | Current topic: Other stuff [23:37] I have nothing [23:37] Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials [23:38] Oh? [23:38] it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer [23:38] KwartzLab for instance has a great printer [23:38] it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something [23:39] 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] Just an idea. [23:40] #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers [23:41] Those interested can come and contact me [23:41] ouch... [23:41] I didn't know he hated my idea that much.. [23:41] He just pinged out [23:41] Is that where you got your party poster? http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed [23:41] Slayah: I know :P [23:41] * BobJonkman1 is back [23:42] #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers [23:42] Those interested can come and contact me [23:42] <-- BobJonkman (~BobJonkma@CPE00222dd67418-CM00222dd67415.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [23:42] ouch... [23:42] I didn't know he hated my idea that much.. [23:42] It's a great idea! [23:42] Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials [23:42] Oh? [23:42] it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer [23:42] KwartzLab for instance has a great printer [23:42] it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something [23:42] 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] Just an idea. [23:42] BobJonkman1: no. I did not get my poster from KwartzLab [23:43] that was printed at my school and then carried through cambridge to guelph on a long and arduous travel path [23:43] #idea: Get some local makerspaces to print promotional posters for distribution to Canadian Team members [23:43] But the poster looked pretty good [23:44] BobJonkman1: Look at you. Getting the command verb correct. [23:44] Sure did! [23:45] (that was meant for "the poster Sure Did look good", not "I Sure Did get that command verb correct" [23:45] I got that :) [23:46] azend: Are you on the Ubuntu-ca mailing list? [23:46] It would be nice to get some stickers together though [23:46] BobJonkman1: I believe so [23:46] Yes I am [23:47] The mailing list might be the best place to coordinate poster requests (and possible printing locations) [23:47] Sure [23:48] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca for subscribing to the mailing list, for anyone who is interested [23:49] 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] Sure. [23:50] I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode [23:50] He pinged out again [23:50] Slayah: darn him [23:51] Sorry. Just switch WiFi APs [23:51] Wind mobile eh? That's why. [23:51] Actually, I just connected to my phone tether. The restaurant WiFi was flakey. [23:51] That makes sense [23:51] Restaurant wifi is even worse than Wind [23:52] So: [23:52] Sure. [23:52] I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode [23:52] #action azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers [23:52] ACTION: azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers [23:53] That's probably the coolest thing anyone's come up with in one of these IRC meetings in a long time [23:54] Trust me, I didn't think too hard on it. [23:54] but I would love an ubuntu canada sticker on my laptop [23:55] There's always room for another sticker! [23:56] OK, approaching the end of the IRC hour. [23:56] I hadn't realized that it has been an hour already [23:57] time flies [23:57] Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. [23:57] Does anyone else have anything else to bring up [23:57] azend FiReSTaRT cyphermox KombuchaKip bregma ubuntulog DarwinSu1vivor mars NCommander ryanakca IdleOne jlamothe txwikinger jaguar sipherdee_ zul egerlach [23:58] Next meeting for 27 June? That's a Thursday... [23:58] Sounds good to me [23:58] Or we can delay setting a date until you've confirmed a venue for IRC IRL [23:58] I can't do Wednesdays anyways [23:58] Thursdays work though [23:58] Oh right [23:59] I forgot I was hosting it [23:59] Yeah sounds fine [23:59] :-) I'll add the events & stuff for the meeting, I'll leave it to azend to create an event for the IRL
