BobJonkman2So, let's introduce ourselves...23:01
BobJonkman2I'm Bob Jonkman, one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada23:01
BobJonkman2I'm from Elmira, Ontario, but currently I'm at Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener ‎with a bunch of other ubuntoids23:02
BobJonkman2#link There's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings23:03
azendI'm Verdi R-D from Ubuntu Guelph23:03
azendI'm sitting at home on the couch because Ubuntu Hour Guelph is next week23:04
chaslinuxCharles from Ubuntu Hour Kitchener.23:04
BobJonkman2Yay! another Ubuntu Hour!23:05
Crankyyay Bob23:06

azendseconded23:07
BobJonkman2So, let's whittle away at the agenda...23:07

BobJonkman2#subtopic Ubuntu Hours23:08
BobJonkman2We just did that...23:08
BobJonkman2#subtopic Ubuntu Events23:08
BobJonkman2They start next week: UDS is 27-29 August, entirely online23:08
BobJonkman2http://uds.ubuntu.com/23:08
BobJonkman2The Ubuntu Global Jam is from 13 to 15 September23:09
BobJonkman2http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2315/23:09
BobJonkman2That's one I'd like to do some planning for.23:09
BobJonkman2Randall from Vancouver is pretty hepped on UGJ, so I'd like to have at least one event.23:10
BobJonkman2But a venue is needed.23:10
BobJonkman2Like a workshop with classroom facilities23:11
BobJonkman2Or a computer refurbishing shop...23:11
bregmasorry to sound ignorant, but what is a global jam?23:11
BobJonkman2UGJ is Ubuntu GLobal Jam; UDS is Ubuntu Developer Summit23:12
chaslinuxWas that a hint????23:12
BobJonkman2The Ubuntu Global Jam is a time to work on the forthcoming release, do some bug finding, triaging, fixing; maybe work on documentation.23:12
dscasselLive from @UbuntuWaterloo Ubuntu hour! http://twitter.com/flying_squirrel/status/370684521920094209/photo/123:13
BobJonkman2At the very least, doing an install of the latest beta and seeing how it behaves on our equipment.23:13
BobJonkman2And reporting to the developers about pitfalls, problems, &c.23:13
chaslinuxCould probably provide the computers for the workshop, we just got a bunch of core 2 duo sff lenovos....23:14
BobJonkman2And, of course, UGnJ another excuse to get together in person and have some fu23:14
BobJonkman2fun23:15
bregmaso you can give Mir a thorough test, then?23:15
BobJonkman2bregma: Yup.23:16
* BobJonkman2 didn't know Mir was ready for release in 13.1023:16
azendIt probably won't be ;)23:16
CrankyI heard that they're trying to squeeze it in23:16
bregmait's already in main23:17
bregmaI use it every day, it's got a few missing features but is almost ready23:17
BobJonkman2dscassel tells me it'll be shipping with 13.10, but it won't be default23:17
bregmaneeds hammer testing, especially on low-spec machines23:17
bregmait's very likely going to be the default23:18
chaslinuxI can certainly do that bregma, I have access to lots of low end machines.23:18
BobJonkman2So, hammer testing is a thing to do duing a Global Jam23:18
bregmasweet23:18
BobJonkman2I didn't hear any volunteers offering a venue for UGJ...23:19
BobJonkman2The Global Jam is usually a few weeks before the official release23:20
BobJonkman2And that means Release Parties!23:20
BobJonkman2#subtopic Ubuntu 13.10 Release Parties23:21
BobJonkman2Who's having one?23:21
azend\o/23:21
BobJonkman2Yay azend!23:22
BobJonkman2dscassel says having release parties is a tradition, so there will likely be one in KW23:24
chaslinuxWill check with the powers that be @TWC for the venue.23:28
BobJonkman2Yay chaslinux!23:28
BobJonkman2Finally,23:29
BobJonkman2#subtopic Software Freedom Day23:29
BobJonkman2Who's having one?23:29
BobJonkman2Kwartzlab is hosting one for Kitchener-Waterloo: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2497-sfd-kwartlab/23:30
BobJonkman2http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab23:30
azendSFD Guelph will be discussed at Ubuntu Hour Guelph23:30
azendif we decide to have one, I'll post it to the various lists23:30
BobJonkman2Yay azend again!23:31
BobJonkman2SFD isn't an official Ubuntu event, but in the past we've always relied heavily on Ubuntu to demonstrate free software at the KW SFDs23:31
chaslinuxI find it creeps up really quickly.... we normally plan months in advance.23:32
BobJonkman2And the LoCo Events Page lists SFD2013 as a global event: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2483/23:32
BobJonkman2For some reason, SFD Kwartzlab looks like it's primarily media oriented: Blender, Ubuntu Studio,23:33
BobJonkman2maybe chaslinux will do something on XBMC.23:33
BobJonkman2I'm talking about autonomy in the cloud, so I'm demonstrating Media G...oblin23:34
BobJonkman2(Did You Know: chaslinux has a new book out on XBMC: http://www.packtpub.com/build-entertainment-system-with-XBMC/book23:36
chaslinuxHi Katherine23:37
azendI would like to talk about getting through your job with nothing but a text editor23:37
BobJonkman2azend: ???  You mean in a programming/developer job?23:38
azendwell actually I was more talking about school23:38
azendpowerpoint presentations23:38
azendwriting essays23:39
azendBobJonkman2: regular stuff23:39
chaslinuxLateX23:39
chaslinuxLaTeX*23:39
BobJonkman2chaslinux dscassel and I are remembering people who did KWLUG presenatations with text-based presentation software23:41
BobJonkman2Can't remember what software that was, but there's probably a clue on http://kwlug.org23:41
BobJonkman2So, I don't know how much more planning we can do here right now; it's probably something best done by the local groups23:42
BobJonkman2For SFD Kwartzlab, anyone interested in helping out with Software Freedom Day should contact Paul Nijjar so he can add you to the sfd-planning mailing list23:42
BobJonkman2There's all kinds of stuff to be done: design flyers, distribute flyers, gather free software to create a distribution, burn CDs of that distribuition...23:43
BobJonkman2OK, continuing on at this blistering pace...23:45

azendPosters and things23:50
azendNext event reminder cards23:50
azendMy printer jammed on those23:50
BobJonkman2Got a file?23:52
azendIt would be nice to get some other promotional tools23:52
BobJonkman2You did up a nice poster a while ago.23:52
azendPerhaps but give me a minute23:52
azendHeh yeah23:52
azendalmost four months ago in fact23:52
azendI think I can do better though23:52
azendIf you give me a few minutes I can pull something up23:53
BobJonkman2ttachments23:53
BobJonkman2That is, we can put them on the wiki as attachments23:53
azendhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/vuxpwquqnkc7983/MeetingCard.gif23:54
BobJonkman2(and everybody at Ubuntu Hour starts sucking down that file and slamming my phone's bandwidth)23:55
azend:)23:55
azendWhy don't I make it an svg23:55
BobJonkman2OK, I'll look at it later...23:56
BobJonkman2Oh, there it is!23:56
BobJonkman2Like business cards!23:56
azendalmost exactly like business cards23:56
azendBut yeah, I thought it would be nice if we had something to show when we go out to events/conventions23:58
azendI've been known to go to an event or two and could potentially and these out23:58
BobJonkman2OK, folks are leaving here...23:59
azendor could stick up posters in central areas23:59
azendCommunitech hub for example23:59
BobJonkman2I've always had difficulty finding places to put posters where I won't be arrested.23:59
