[00:34] BobJonkman1: :) [00:34] If we do SFD Guelph, I want it to be big [00:35] Better start putting up posters [00:54] SFD in KW will be at Kwartzlab, 28 September (a week later than the official date) [02:27] BobJonkman1: where do you apply to present at KWSFD? [04:33] azend: We're in the middle of planning now; send an e-mail to Paul Nijjar pnijjar@theworkingcentre.org and he'll add you to the sfd-planning mailing list. Tell him what you've got in mind... [04:35] So I have to work to get a spot eh? [04:36] I see what you're doing here ;) [04:54] Well, you have to have a presentation to get a presentation spot [04:54] Also have a look at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab [04:54] You should probably start a page for Guelph. === sigint_ is now known as sigint [21:04] Anyone playing with saucy devel? I'm trying to generate a CSR but openssl keeps hanging... [22:32] Countdown to meeting: T-29 minutes [22:46] Hi chaslinux! [22:47] Hi BobJonkman2 x2 ;-) [22:47] hi again [22:50] T-10 and counting...

[23:01] I'm Bob Jonkman, one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada [23:02] I'm from Elmira, Ontario, but currently I'm at Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener ‎with a bunch of other ubuntoids [23:03] #link There's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings [23:03] I'm Verdi R-D from Ubuntu Guelph [23:04] I'm sitting at home on the couch because Ubuntu Hour Guelph is next week [23:04] Charles from Ubuntu Hour Kitchener. [23:05] Yay! another Ubuntu Hour! [23:06] yay Bob [23:07] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2489-ubuntu-hour-guelph/ [23:07] seconded [23:07] So, let's whittle away at the agenda... [23:07] #topic Events === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting:Thu, 22 Aug 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! | Ubuntu-ca IRC meeting 22 Aug 2013 | Current topic: Events [23:08] #subtopic Ubuntu Hours [23:08] We just did that... [23:08] #subtopic Ubuntu Events [23:08] They start next week: UDS is 27-29 August, entirely online [23:08] http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [23:09] The Ubuntu Global Jam is from 13 to 15 September [23:09] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2315/ [23:09] That's one I'd like to do some planning for. [23:10] Randall from Vancouver is pretty hepped on UGJ, so I'd like to have at least one event. [23:10] But a venue is needed. [23:11] Like a workshop with classroom facilities [23:11] Or a computer refurbishing shop... [23:11] sorry to sound ignorant, but what is a global jam? [23:12] UGJ is Ubuntu GLobal Jam; UDS is Ubuntu Developer Summit [23:12] Was that a hint???? [23:12] The Ubuntu Global Jam is a time to work on the forthcoming release, do some bug finding, triaging, fixing; maybe work on documentation. [23:13] Live from @UbuntuWaterloo Ubuntu hour! http://twitter.com/flying_squirrel/status/370684521920094209/photo/1 [23:13] At the very least, doing an install of the latest beta and seeing how it behaves on our equipment. [23:13] And reporting to the developers about pitfalls, problems, &c. [23:14] Could probably provide the computers for the workshop, we just got a bunch of core 2 duo sff lenovos.... [23:14] And, of course, UGnJ another excuse to get together in person and have some fu [23:15] fun [23:15] so you can give Mir a thorough test, then? [23:16] bregma: Yup. [23:16] * BobJonkman2 didn't know Mir was ready for release in 13.10 [23:16] It probably won't be ;) [23:16] I heard that they're trying to squeeze it in [23:17] it's already in main [23:17] I use it every day, it's got a few missing features but is almost ready [23:17] dscassel tells me it'll be shipping with 13.10, but it won't be default [23:17] needs hammer testing, especially on low-spec machines [23:18] it's very likely going to be the default [23:18] I can certainly do that bregma, I have access to lots of low end machines. [23:18] So, hammer testing is a thing to do duing a Global Jam [23:18] sweet [23:19] I didn't hear any volunteers offering a venue for UGJ... [23:20] The Global Jam is usually a few weeks before the official release [23:20] And that means Release Parties! [23:21] #subtopic Ubuntu 13.10 Release Parties [23:21] Who's having one? [23:21] \o/ [23:22] Yay azend! [23:24] dscassel says having release parties is a tradition, so there will likely be one in KW [23:28] Will check with the powers that be @TWC for the venue. [23:28] Yay chaslinux! [23:29] Finally, [23:29] #subtopic Software Freedom Day [23:29] Who's having one? [23:30] Kwartzlab is hosting one for Kitchener-Waterloo: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2497-sfd-kwartlab/ [23:30] http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab [23:30] SFD Guelph will be discussed at Ubuntu Hour Guelph [23:30] if we decide to have one, I'll post it to the various lists [23:31] Yay azend again! [23:31] SFD isn't an official Ubuntu event, but in the past we've always relied heavily on Ubuntu to demonstrate free software at the KW SFDs [23:32] I find it creeps up really quickly.... we normally plan months in advance. [23:32] And the LoCo Events Page lists SFD2013 as a global event: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2483/ [23:33] For some reason, SFD Kwartzlab looks like it's primarily media oriented: Blender, Ubuntu Studio, [23:33] maybe chaslinux will do something on XBMC. [23:34] I'm talking about autonomy in the cloud, so I'm demonstrating Media G...oblin [23:36] (Did You Know: chaslinux has a new book out on XBMC: http://www.packtpub.com/build-entertainment-system-with-XBMC/book [23:37] Hi Katherine [23:37] I would like to talk about getting through your job with nothing but a text editor [23:38] azend: ??? You mean in a programming/developer job? [23:38] well actually I was more talking about school [23:38] powerpoint presentations [23:39] writing essays [23:39] BobJonkman2: regular stuff [23:39] LateX [23:39] LaTeX* [23:41] chaslinux dscassel and I are remembering people who did KWLUG presenatations with text-based presentation software [23:41] Can't remember what software that was, but there's probably a clue on http://kwlug.org [23:42] So, I don't know how much more planning we can do here right now; it's probably something best done by the local groups [23:42] For 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 list [23:43] There's all kinds of stuff to be done: design flyers, distribute flyers, gather free software to create a distribution, burn CDs of that distribuition... [23:45] OK, continuing on at this blistering pace... [23:45] #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:Thu, 22 Aug 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! | Ubuntu-ca IRC meeting 22 Aug 2013 | Current topic: Other stuff [23:47] I have nothing...

[23:49] I've started making some marketing tools for public use [23:49] marketing what? [23:49] What kind of tools? [23:50] I plan on demoing some of them at Ubuntu Hour Guelph [23:50] Posters and things [23:50] Next event reminder cards [23:50] My printer jammed on those [23:52] Got a file? [23:52] It would be nice to get some other promotional tools [23:52] You did up a nice poster a while ago. [23:52] Perhaps but give me a minute [23:52] Heh yeah [23:52] almost four months ago in fact [23:52] I think I can do better though [23:53] If you give me a few minutes I can pull something up [23:53] ttachments [23:53] That is, we can put them on the wiki as attachments [23:54] https://www.dropbox.com/s/vuxpwquqnkc7983/MeetingCard.gif [23:55] (and everybody at Ubuntu Hour starts sucking down that file and slamming my phone's bandwidth) [23:55] :) [23:55] Why don't I make it an svg [23:56] OK, I'll look at it later... [23:56] Oh, there it is! [23:56] Like business cards! [23:56] almost exactly like business cards [23:58] But yeah, I thought it would be nice if we had something to show when we go out to events/conventions [23:58] I've been known to go to an event or two and could potentially and these out [23:59] OK, folks are leaving here... [23:59] or could stick up posters in central areas [23:59] Communitech hub for example [23:59] I've always had difficulty finding places to put posters where I won't be arrested.
