[00:34] <azend> BobJonkman1: :)
[00:34] <azend> If we do SFD Guelph, I want it to be big
[00:35] <azend> Better start putting up posters
[00:54] <BobJonkman1> SFD in KW will be at Kwartzlab, 28 September (a week later than the official date)
[02:27] <azend> BobJonkman1: where do you apply to present at KWSFD?
[04:33] <BobJonkman1> 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] <azend> So I have to work to get a spot eh?
[04:36] <azend> I see what you're doing here ;)
[04:54] <BobJonkman1> Well, you have to have a presentation to get a presentation spot
[04:54] <BobJonkman1> Also have a look at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab
[04:54] <BobJonkman1> You should probably start a page for Guelph.
[21:04] <Delemas> Anyone playing with saucy devel? I'm trying to generate a CSR but openssl keeps hanging...

[23:01] <BobJonkman2> So, let's introduce ourselves...
[23:01] <BobJonkman2> I'm Bob Jonkman, one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada
[23:02] <BobJonkman2> I'm from Elmira, Ontario, but currently I'm at Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener ‎with a bunch of other ubuntoids
[23:03] <BobJonkman2> #link There's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings
[23:03] <azend> I'm Verdi R-D from Ubuntu Guelph
[23:04] <azend> I'm sitting at home on the couch because Ubuntu Hour Guelph is next week
[23:04] <chaslinux> Charles from Ubuntu Hour Kitchener.
[23:05] <BobJonkman2> Yay! another Ubuntu Hour!
[23:06] <Cranky> yay Bob
[23:07] <BobJonkman2> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2489-ubuntu-hour-guelph/
[23:07] <azend> seconded
[23:07] <BobJonkman2> So, let's whittle away at the agenda...
[23:07] <BobJonkman2> #topic Events
[23:08] <BobJonkman2> #subtopic Ubuntu Hours
[23:08] <BobJonkman2> We just did that...
[23:08] <BobJonkman2> #subtopic Ubuntu Events
[23:08] <BobJonkman2> They start next week: UDS is 27-29 August, entirely online
[23:08] <BobJonkman2> http://uds.ubuntu.com/
[23:09] <BobJonkman2> The Ubuntu Global Jam is from 13 to 15 September
[23:09] <BobJonkman2> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2315/
[23:09] <BobJonkman2> That's one I'd like to do some planning for.
[23:10] <BobJonkman2> Randall from Vancouver is pretty hepped on UGJ, so I'd like to have at least one event.
[23:10] <BobJonkman2> But a venue is needed.
[23:11] <BobJonkman2> Like a workshop with classroom facilities
[23:11] <BobJonkman2> Or a computer refurbishing shop...
[23:11] <bregma> sorry to sound ignorant, but what is a global jam?
[23:12] <BobJonkman2> UGJ is Ubuntu GLobal Jam; UDS is Ubuntu Developer Summit
[23:12] <chaslinux> Was that a hint????
[23:12] <BobJonkman2> 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] <dscassel> Live from @UbuntuWaterloo Ubuntu hour! http://twitter.com/flying_squirrel/status/370684521920094209/photo/1
[23:13] <BobJonkman2> At the very least, doing an install of the latest beta and seeing how it behaves on our equipment.
[23:13] <BobJonkman2> And reporting to the developers about pitfalls, problems, &c.
[23:14] <chaslinux> Could probably provide the computers for the workshop, we just got a bunch of core 2 duo sff lenovos....
[23:14] <BobJonkman2> And, of course, UGnJ another excuse to get together in person and have some fu
[23:15] <BobJonkman2> fun
[23:15] <bregma> so you can give Mir a thorough test, then?
[23:16] <BobJonkman2> bregma: Yup.
[23:16]  * BobJonkman2 didn't know Mir was ready for release in 13.10
[23:16] <azend> It probably won't be ;)
[23:16] <Cranky> I heard that they're trying to squeeze it in
[23:17] <bregma> it's already in main
[23:17] <bregma> I use it every day, it's got a few missing features but is almost ready
[23:17] <BobJonkman2> dscassel tells me it'll be shipping with 13.10, but it won't be default
[23:17] <bregma> needs hammer testing, especially on low-spec machines
[23:18] <bregma> it's very likely going to be the default
[23:18] <chaslinux> I can certainly do that bregma, I have access to lots of low end machines.
[23:18] <BobJonkman2> So, hammer testing is a thing to do duing a Global Jam
[23:18] <bregma> sweet
[23:19] <BobJonkman2> I didn't hear any volunteers offering a venue for UGJ...
[23:20] <BobJonkman2> The Global Jam is usually a few weeks before the official release
[23:20] <BobJonkman2> And that means Release Parties!
[23:21] <BobJonkman2> #subtopic Ubuntu 13.10 Release Parties
[23:21] <BobJonkman2> Who's having one?
[23:21] <azend> \o/
[23:22] <BobJonkman2> Yay azend!
[23:24] <BobJonkman2> dscassel says having release parties is a tradition, so there will likely be one in KW
[23:28] <chaslinux> Will check with the powers that be @TWC for the venue.
[23:28] <BobJonkman2> Yay chaslinux!
[23:29] <BobJonkman2> Finally,
[23:29] <BobJonkman2> #subtopic Software Freedom Day
[23:29] <BobJonkman2> Who's having one?
[23:30] <BobJonkman2> Kwartzlab is hosting one for Kitchener-Waterloo: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2497-sfd-kwartlab/
[23:30] <BobJonkman2> http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab
[23:30] <azend> SFD Guelph will be discussed at Ubuntu Hour Guelph
[23:30] <azend> if we decide to have one, I'll post it to the various lists
[23:31] <BobJonkman2> Yay azend again!
[23:31] <BobJonkman2> 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] <chaslinux> I find it creeps up really quickly.... we normally plan months in advance.
[23:32] <BobJonkman2> And the LoCo Events Page lists SFD2013 as a global event: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2483/
[23:33] <BobJonkman2> For some reason, SFD Kwartzlab looks like it's primarily media oriented: Blender, Ubuntu Studio,
[23:33] <BobJonkman2> maybe chaslinux will do something on XBMC.
[23:34] <BobJonkman2> I'm talking about autonomy in the cloud, so I'm demonstrating Media G...oblin
[23:36] <BobJonkman2> (Did You Know: chaslinux has a new book out on XBMC: http://www.packtpub.com/build-entertainment-system-with-XBMC/book
[23:37] <chaslinux> Hi Katherine
[23:37] <azend> I would like to talk about getting through your job with nothing but a text editor
[23:38] <BobJonkman2> azend: ???  You mean in a programming/developer job?
[23:38] <azend> well actually I was more talking about school
[23:38] <azend> powerpoint presentations
[23:39] <azend> writing essays
[23:39] <azend> BobJonkman2: regular stuff
[23:39] <chaslinux> LateX
[23:39] <chaslinux> LaTeX*
[23:41] <BobJonkman2> chaslinux dscassel and I are remembering people who did KWLUG presenatations with text-based presentation software
[23:41] <BobJonkman2> Can't remember what software that was, but there's probably a clue on http://kwlug.org
[23:42] <BobJonkman2> 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] <BobJonkman2> 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] <BobJonkman2> 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] <BobJonkman2> OK, continuing on at this blistering pace...
[23:45] <BobJonkman2> #topic Other stuff
[23:47] <BobJonkman2> I have nothing...
[23:48] <Cranky> you should get something
[23:48] <azend> #topic Marketing
[23:49] <BobJonkman2> #chair azend
[23:49] <meetingology> Current chairs: BobJonkman2 azend dscassel
[23:49] <azend> #topic Marketing
[23:49] <BobJonkman2> try that again...
[23:49] <azend> I've started making some marketing tools for public use
[23:49] <bregma> marketing what?
[23:49] <BobJonkman2> What kind of tools?
[23:50] <azend> I plan on demoing some of them at Ubuntu Hour Guelph
[23:50] <azend> Posters and things
[23:50] <azend> Next event reminder cards
[23:50] <azend> My printer jammed on those
[23:52] <BobJonkman2> Got a file?
[23:52] <azend> It would be nice to get some other promotional tools
[23:52] <BobJonkman2> You did up a nice poster a while ago.
[23:52] <azend> Perhaps but give me a minute
[23:52] <azend> Heh yeah
[23:52] <azend> almost four months ago in fact
[23:52] <azend> I think I can do better though
[23:53] <azend> If you give me a few minutes I can pull something up
[23:53] <BobJonkman2> ttachments
[23:53] <BobJonkman2> That is, we can put them on the wiki as attachments
[23:54] <azend> https://www.dropbox.com/s/vuxpwquqnkc7983/MeetingCard.gif
[23:55] <BobJonkman2> (and everybody at Ubuntu Hour starts sucking down that file and slamming my phone's bandwidth)
[23:55] <azend> :)
[23:55] <azend> Why don't I make it an svg
[23:56] <BobJonkman2> OK, I'll look at it later...
[23:56] <BobJonkman2> Oh, there it is!
[23:56] <BobJonkman2> Like business cards!
[23:56] <azend> almost exactly like business cards
[23:58] <azend> But yeah, I thought it would be nice if we had something to show when we go out to events/conventions
[23:58] <azend> I've been known to go to an event or two and could potentially and these out
[23:59] <BobJonkman2> OK, folks are leaving here...
[23:59] <azend> or could stick up posters in central areas
[23:59] <azend> Communitech hub for example
[23:59] <BobJonkman2> I've always had difficulty finding places to put posters where I won't be arrested.
