I don't get out a lot anymore [22:05] Is Monday the Diyode Open House? [22:05] Since I moved countryside [22:06] Hmm... That makes for an acronym that's not nearly as appropriate as Kwartzlab's: DOH vs. TON [22:08] Is there wifi in the pub or do we hook on BobJonkman? [22:08] BobJonkman: yes [22:09] I'll have my cellular internet device for tethering [22:09] BobJonkman: actually, Monday open night (MON) is rather appropriate [22:10] BobJonkman: me too [22:10] :) That's better. [22:10] (MON vs. DOH, that is) [22:20] I'm outta here. See you in 30min [22:25] ok. I am on my way [23:05] Hello Everybodeee!

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