| azend | txwikinger: cool | 22:01 |
| BobJonkman | See you both there. | 22:01 |
| txwikinger | We may.. I am not good in keeping up with screen names | 22:01 |
| txwikinger | When did we meet azend? | 22:01 |
| BobJonkman | Leaving in about 10 min | 22:01 |
| azend | txwikinger: sooncon @ KwartzLab | 22:01 |
| txwikinger | Ah | 22:02 |
| azend | that event anyways | 22:02 |
| txwikinger | ok | 22:02 |
| txwikinger | So you are part of diode? | 22:02 |
| azend | I sure am | 22:02 |
| txwikinger | Never got the time to come up there | 22:03 |
| BobJonkman | OK, Just downloaded WiGle to map WiFi spots on my cellular internet device | 22:04 |
| azend | I like it | 22:04 |
| azend | it's best to go on an Monday night though | 22:04 |
| azend | lots of people | 22:05 |
| azend | BobJonkman: awesome | 22:05 |
| azend | BobJonkman: remind me to show you my maps | 22:05 |
| txwikinger | Well. I don't get out a lot anymore | 22:05 |
| BobJonkman | Is Monday the Diyode Open House? | 22:05 |
| txwikinger | Since I moved countryside | 22:05 |
| BobJonkman | Hmm... That makes for an acronym that's not nearly as appropriate as Kwartzlab's: DOH vs. TON | 22:06 |
| txwikinger | Is there wifi in the pub or do we hook on BobJonkman? | 22:08 |
| azend | BobJonkman: yes | 22:08 |
| BobJonkman | I'll have my cellular internet device for tethering | 22:09 |
| azend | BobJonkman: actually, Monday open night (MON) is rather appropriate | 22:09 |
| azend | BobJonkman: me too | 22:10 |
| BobJonkman | :) That's better. | 22:10 |
| BobJonkman | (MON vs. DOH, that is) | 22:10 |
| BobJonkman | I'm outta here. See you in 30min | 22:20 |
| txwikinger | ok. I am on my way | 22:25 |

| BobJonkman | Who are we, and what are we doing here? | 23:08 |
| BobJonkman | I'm Bob Jonkman, one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada, and chairing the meeting with azend since dscassel isn't here today | 23:09 |
| KombuchaKip | My name's Kip. I'm project lead behind Avaneya, a cerebral science fiction game for Ubuntu. I'm based just out of Vancouver. | 23:09 |
| BobJonkman | I'm from Elmira, but I've travelled to the Greater Metropolis of Guelph for the occasion | 23:10 |
| BobJonkman | Hi KombuchaKip! Good to see you again | 23:10 |
| Freshmeadiow | I am Jim Kelsh (Freshmeadow) a professional accountant (CGA) and a Linux user since 2006. | 23:10 |
| BobJonkman | For those interested in reading along, there's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next | 23:11 |
| BobJonkman | Hi Freshmeadiow! | 23:11 |
| jamesmcveity | Hi Bob. | 23:11 |
| * KombuchaKip waves | 23:12 | |
| azend|away | Hi | 23:14 |
| azend|away | ubuntulog: | 23:16 |
| azend|away | meetingology: | 23:17 |
| Freshmeadiow | Testing the connection | 23:17 |
| azend|away | Freshmeadiow: Hi! | 23:19 |
| azend|away | It's just Bob now who is away | 23:19 |
| azend|away | He should be here... | 23:20 |
| azend|away | He's sitting next to me | 23:20 |
| azend|away | Alright, who's ready for some Ubuntu! | 23:20 |
| BobJonkmanToo | Seems the network has split. | 23:21 |
| BobJonkmanToo | I can't see my original instance on my IRC client, but I seem to be OK on the Webchat | 23:22 |
| BobJonkmanToo | So, I was passing greetings to Freshmeadiow , jamesmcveity, KombuchaKip , azend or azend|away | 23:23 |
| BobJonkmanToo | There's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next | 23:23 |
| BobJonkmanToo | It's kinda sparse, so I'm open to suggestions for topics | 23:24 |
| === BobJonkmanToo is now known as BobJonkman2 | ||
| azend|away | You're right, it is somewhat sparse | 23:25 |
| BobJonkman2 | The big thing is a recap of Ubuntu Hours | 23:25 |
| BobJonkman2 | #topic Ubuntu Hours | 23:25 |
| azend|away | #chair BobJonkman2 | 23:25 |
| BobJonkman2 | #topic UbuntuHours | 23:27 |
| BobJonkman2 | So the big news is that we're at a new Ubuntu Hour in Guelph! | 23:29 |
| azend|away | I understand Ubuntu Hours are supposed to happen every one or two weeks? | 23:29 |
| Freshmeadiow | As a Guelphite, YAY!!!! | 23:30 |
| BobJonkman2 | From the feedback I've had, there's a demand for more Linuxy activities in Guelph | 23:30 |
| BobJonkman2 | We've been running them monthly in Kitchener and Waterloo, | 23:30 |
| BobJonkman2 | but other places have them weekly | 23:31 |
| === azend_ is now known as Guest67537 | ||
| === Freshmeadiow is now known as Freshmeadow | ||
| BobJonkman2 | The nice thing about Ubuntu Hours is that there's no rules | 23:36 |
| BobJonkman2 | (aside from the Code of Conduct, of course) | 23:36 |
| azend|away | How's the community response been to those events? | 23:36 |
| BobJonkman2 | So you can have them as often or infrequently as you want | 23:36 |
| Freshmeadow | Hands up who enjoys the Unity desktop. My hand is up, and I use it in my business. | 23:37 |
| BobJonkman2 | The Ubuntu Hour Kitchener is really well attended, but Ubuntu Hour Waterloo has been kinda sparse. | 23:37 |
| BobJonkman2 | Which is why we're in Guelph today (this would normally be the Ubuntu Hour Waterloo day) | 23:37 |
| BobJonkman2 | Freshmeadow: Not a fan of Unity.. | 23:37 |
| Freshmeadow | Why is that, Bob? | 23:38 |
| BobJonkman2 | $$ Thread marker for Unity | 23:38 |
| BobJonkman2 | $$ On my laptop I've replace Unity with Mate | 23:38 |
| txwikinger | hi .. finally got connected :-) | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman2 | $$ I've also used LXDE, which isn't bad | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% Thread marker for Ubuntu Hours | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% I've also run one-off Ubuntu Hours. | 23:39 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% Mostly in Toronto, where I don't get to very often | 23:39 |
| azend|away | !! I would like to have some events in Guelph | 23:40 |
| lubotu1 | azend|away: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% I'm hoping genii-around will run one (hint hint) | 23:40 |
| azend|away | !! I would be happy to run an Ubuntu Hour every once and a while here | 23:40 |
| lubotu1 | azend|away: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:40 |
| Freshmeadow | $$ I like in Unity how it focuses the app you are in as full screen. For me it minimizes distractions, especially if I am in a spreadsheet. | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman2 | ^^ Thread marker for Thread Markers | 23:40 |
| azend|away | !! Perhaps bi-weekly as the Ubuntu Hour community promote | 23:40 |
| lubotu1 | azend|away: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:40 |
| BobJonkman2 | ^^ Gotta be careful not to use bot prefixes like ! or # | 23:41 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% It's getting crowded in here. | 23:42 |
| azend|away | BobJonkman2: unless you like annoying bots | 23:42 |
| BobJonkman2 | %% Got 7 people here IRL! | 23:43 |
| jamesmcveity | I like Unity. I was sure if I did at first. I played around with most of the other options even win managers. Now I like Unity best of all even over Windows or MacOS | 23:43 |
| BobJonkman2 | Hi Katherine_ ! | 23:44 |
| Katherine_ | Hi BobJonkman! | 23:44 |
| BobJonkman2 | We've been talking about Ubuntu Hours and desktop environments like Unity and LXDE | 23:45 |
| BobJonkman2 | The network has been pretty bad, keeps kicking us off | 23:45 |
| Freshmeadow | $$ The network kicks us off beccause you don;t like Unity :) | 23:46 |
| jamesmcveity | Ha | 23:46 |
| azend|away | Am I still online? | 23:47 |
| BobJonkman2 | Had to move to another table because of the crowds gathering for Ubuntu Hour Guelph :) | 23:48 |
| BobJonkman2 | A good problem to have | 23:49 |
| Freshmeadow | $$ I find with practice Unity becomes very intuitive and very fast. I am running 12.04 32 bit and 64 bit on 2 machines. | 23:49 |
| azend|away | Have we thought of marketing strategies for letting people know about the Ubuntu Hours?? | 23:49 |
| jamesmcveity | Freshmeadow - Are you a Unity dev? | 23:50 |
| Freshmeadow | I wish, I am an accountant who also loves Linux. I guess I shouldn't mention that I like Gnome 3 too... | 23:51 |
| jamesmcveity | Not a fan of that de. | 23:52 |
| jamesmcveity | I do find it fast. | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman2 | azend|away was just telling us about the Raspberry Pi. John Kerr (here IRL) is a big fan of the Pi; gave a KWLUG presentation | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman2 | I mostly like Gnome3, but it doesn't handle two screens all that well | 23:54 |
| jamesmcveity | KDE was always my main de. Kubuntu was a solid spin. I fell in love with Unity and dumped K | 23:55 |
| Freshmeadow | $$ I find that traditional desktops like in Windows 7, can offer too many distractions in the taskbar when you are deep into a complex spreadsheet. Unity and Gnome say "You are working on this spreadsheet. That is it!!" | 23:55 |
| * BobJonkman2 is switching to his other self | 23:57 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Back | 23:57 |
| BobJonkman1 | Freshmeadow: That's exactly what I dislike about Unity - all the indicators I like to see are missing | 23:58 |
