[02:01] <pleia2> nothing on the agenda :)
[02:01] <MarkDude> Moar Geeknics
[02:01] <pleia2> MarkDude: cool, have a date to report?
[02:02] <MarkDude> What time next month- I needs some help
[02:02] <MarkDude> Last event was full fail
[02:02] <MarkDude> Due to me
[02:02] <MarkDude> It was fun- but had smallest attendance
[02:03] <pleia2> the link from geeknic.org you shared had a broken link to the actual info and rsvp stuff about the event :\
[02:03] <pleia2> so it was tricky for me to share around
[02:03] <eps> Someone should organize an August picnic in Sunnyvale's Baylands Park. ;-)
[02:03] <pleia2> eps: can you help MarkDude plan the next one?
[02:04] <MarkDude> Yay
[02:04] <MarkDude> Yes- multiple levels of fail
[02:04] <grantbow> thanks for volunteering eps
[02:04] <eps> It's probably too late to reserve Baylands. :-(
[02:04] <MarkDude> As well as links sent out that I was not aware of :D
[02:05] <pleia2> MarkDude: yeah, it ended up being a bit confusing :)
[02:05] <MarkDude> I was confused- so Imagine it was a hassle for ithers
[02:05] <pleia2> hehe
[02:05] <pleia2> ok, so MarkDude needs help planning for the next geeknic
[02:06] <pleia2> MarkDude: feel free to post to the list to ask for help too, I'll ask around and see if anyone can
[02:06] <MarkDude> Ok
[02:06] <pleia2> I'm not available the saturdays of the 10th or 17th in august (have events)
[02:06] <pleia2> (fosscon in philly is the 10th, woo!)
[02:06] <MarkDude> Ok, eps - lets see if we can plan it- and have you email lest once we are set
[02:07] <MarkDude> +1 FOSScon
[02:07] <MarkDude> OLPC Summit in OCTober- towards end of month, otherwise thats all I have :)
[02:07] <grantbow> 18, 19 and 20th
[02:07] <pleia2> cool
[02:08] <grantbow> downtown at SFSU
[02:08] <pleia2> grantbow: PM me your phone number so I can get you access to olpcsf stuff
[02:08] <grantbow> k, thanks
[02:08] <pleia2> so, CLS and OSCON next week
[02:08] <pleia2> who all is going?
[02:08] <pleia2> I know philipballew is going up to help with the Ubuntu booth
[02:08] <pleia2> I'll be attending both afterall (speaking at oscon)
[02:10] <pleia2> MarkDude: will you be there?
[02:11] <pleia2> alright, so what else...
[02:11] <pleia2> we've lost access to our identi.ca account for now :( they switched to a new authentication system, in doing so they reset all passwords and if you account doesn't have an email address associated with it you're locked out of your account :(
[02:12] <pleia2> I'll keep an eye on it in case they end up finding a mechanism for us to solve this, a lot of other people are in the same position, it's not good
[02:12]  * MarkDude will miss his 1st OSCON in 8 years
[02:12] <MarkDude> :(
[02:12] <pleia2> aw, bummer
[02:13] <MarkDude> Evan is reachable via Identica from last I rememebr
[02:13] <MarkDude> The only way I know of to really solve Identica issues
[02:16] <pleia2> MarkDude: he works for identica?
[02:16] <pleia2> if you could lend a hand here, it'd be appreciated
[02:17] <grantbow> I think he started it
[02:18] <pleia2> I think that's pretty much all I had team update wise
[02:18] <pleia2> ubuntu hour last week was great :) had like 12 people and we did a keysigning!
[02:19] <pleia2> in san francisco
[02:19] <grantbow> nice
[02:19] <MarkDude> Yep he started it-
[02:20] <pleia2> anyone else have anything to discuss?
[02:21] <grantbow> Evan P, not our Evan B :-)
[02:21] <pleia2> I'm going to be traveling during our next meeting in 2 weeks, our meetings have been pretty lean lately so we can either decide to 1) cancel it 2) someone else volunteer to announce and run it
[02:22] <pleia2> thoughts?
[02:22] <grantbow> I'll do it
[02:22] <pleia2> ok, thanks grantbow :)
[02:22] <rhernand> I got a question...  I recently relocated from San Jose, CA to San Antonio,TX and there doesn't appear to be a group in this city
[02:23] <rhernand> any recommendations?
[02:23] <pleia2> rhernand: have you spoken with folks on the state-wide team?
[02:23] <grantbow> try /join #ubuntu-us-tx and /topic :-)
[02:23] <pleia2> groups in the US are organized on the state level, in texas I think they then have subteams
[02:23] <pleia2> if one doesn't exist, you can typically propose to run an event and see who comes :)
[02:24] <rhernand> i might have to do that...
[02:24] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TexasTeam has info about parts of the team though
[02:24] <darthrobot> Title: [TexasTeam - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:24] <pleia2> I met with the Dallas folks once, but that was 5 years ago at this point ;)
[02:26] <pleia2> any upcoming events to announce?
[02:27] <grantbow> nothing out of the ordinary comes to mind - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups
[02:27] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:27] <pleia2> alright, thanks everyone :)
[02:28] <rhernand> thanks
[02:28] <pleia2> rhernand: lots of folks involved with event coordinating here, so if you need help planning something in your area please feel free to ask :)

[02:28] <grantbow> +1
[02:29]  * pleia2 back to home things
[04:01] <pleia2> bah, I'll be on an airplane for the meeting after next too
[04:01] <pleia2> (coming home from fosscon)
[19:31]  * bkerensa has determined the only way to beat pleia2 in steps is if he walks the entire Oregon Zoo
[19:31] <pleia2> lol
[19:31] <pleia2> zoo++
[19:33] <bkerensa> pleia2: you inspired us to get a zoo membership
[19:33] <bkerensa> best investment ever :) been there two weekends in a row
[19:33] <pleia2> yay :)
[19:34] <pleia2> museums are ok, but zoos are fun places for getting outside and being entertained
[19:34] <pleia2> especially when close to public transit like OR's is
[19:34] <akk> Zoos are a lot more fun than museums.
[19:35] <akk> Though sometimes I feel guilty about liking them (animals in prison ... even if the prisons are nicer now than they used to be).
[19:36] <pleia2> I've liked the trend lately for zoos to adopt injured animals that can't survive in the wild (blind sea lions, bald eagles with only one wing - both at sfzoo) and working hard on breeding programs for critters endangered in the wild
[19:36] <pleia2> I feel guilty about healthy animals in captivity too
[19:37] <akk> Agreed. They're wonderful places for an injured animal.
[20:14] <nhh> Not sure if anyone is in the area or interested, but a few people will be meeting for keysigning tonight at 7:15pm at Peet's Coffee & Tea 4598 El Camino Real, Los Altos, CA 94022
[22:00] <bkerensa> There was a eagle at the Oregon Zoo that was injured in the wild and they took it in
