[00:00] <BobJonkman1> If not, we can leave it until there's a desperate, pent-up demand...
[00:00] <BobJonkman1> OK, let me know, either here in the #ubuntu-ca channel, or on the mailing list.
[00:01] <Katherine> Is interest really declining or are there just people temporarily away?
[00:01] <BobJonkman1> It's been quiet all over, so I think people may just be enjoying the last few days of nice weather
[00:02] <BobJonkman1> But there's the possibility that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) have become so mainstream that there is no longer a need for specialized groups.
[00:02] <Katherine> The weather is unlikely to be this warm late in October.
[00:02] <BobJonkman1> I'll bet there were Telephone User Groups back in Alex Bell's day
[00:03] <BobJonkman1> But you don't see TUGs around any more, either
[00:03] <BobJonkman1> I dunno, we've had some nice days around Hallowe'en in the past.
[00:03] <BobJonkman1> But I also remember trekking door-to-door with my son through the snow
[00:04] <Katherine> They could have used party lines for their meetings.
[00:04] <BobJonkman1> :)
[00:04] <BobJonkman1> If you want a meeting, let me know.
[00:05] <BobJonkman1> Or even better, just pop over to the Ubuntu-ca LoCo page and schedule one yourself.
[00:05] <BobJonkman1> The Ubuntu Hours in Guelph are new, and have been pretty popular (both of them) :|
[00:06] <BobJonkman1> Katherine: If you schedule a meeting or an Ubuntu Hour then I'll come.
[00:07] <Katherine> I don't really know enough about what's going on to schedule meetings but I'll try to attend if meetings are scheduled.
[00:08] <BobJonkman1> :) OK.  It's pretty easy, just go to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca/ and log in with your Launchpad ID, then you can create a new event
[00:09] <BobJonkman1> We've been using "Event" to schedule a meeting since the "Meeting" interface is pretty clunky.  "Event" does what we want, even for meetings
[00:09] <BobJonkman1> So give it a shot.  If you schedule the meeting I'll take care of putting up an agenda.  We can do the meeting announcements together
[00:10] <BobJonkman1> All right, if there's nothing else, I'll #endmeeting
[00:11] <BobJonkman1> (we're already at T-plus 10 minutes and counting for the meeting end :) )
[00:11] <BobJonkman1> #endmeeting

[00:11] <BobJonkman1> So that's that!
[00:12] <scaldra> Is this where the Ubuntu Kootenay's meet up?
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> Hi scaldra: Yes, they can.
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> I think KombuchaKip is from that area
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> West Coast, anyway.  That's close, right?
[00:13] <Katherine> Bob: Good luck with your talk.  I probably won't be at SFD until later if I make it at all.
[00:13] <BobJonkman1> Katherine: OK, hope to see you, even for a short while
[00:14] <KombuchaKip> BobJonkman1: Close, a few hours away.
[00:14] <BobJonkman1> scaldra: I'm not sure how active the Kootenay group is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Kootenay
[00:15] <BobJonkman1> When I was in Europe, someone asked if I knew his cousin in Newfoundland.
[00:15] <scaldra> Yeah the site doesn't even work
[00:15] <BobJonkman1> Newfoundland might actually be closer to Europe than Ontario.
[00:15] <BobJonkman1> Canada is *really* big
[00:16] <BobJonkman1> scaldra: So, there's a project for you!  Revive interest in Ubuntu-ca-kootenay !
[00:16] <scaldra> Will try :)
[00:16] <Katherine> I guess people in other countries never look at Canada on a world map.
[00:17] <scaldra> I'll l start by hanging out here
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> Easiest thing is to hold an Ubuntu Hour. Just make an announcement on the mailing list, maybe put up a poster, and then go have a coffee with friends at a coffeeshop.
[00:18] <BobJonkman1> scaldra: Hanging out here is great!
[00:19] <BobJonkman1> I like the mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca
[00:19] <BobJonkman1> Lots of folks there. It's an informal advice channel, announcements about events, philosophical discussion on free software, you name it!
[00:19] <scaldra> Also my user is actually oo-dragon so you know for later
[00:20] <BobJonkman1> OK, but you may need to remind me.  Is that your Launchpad username?
[00:21] <scaldra> But not at home, so quickly tried to setup irc on my phone to get in time for meeting
[00:22] <scaldra> I think so...
[00:22] <BobJonkman1> I'll post minutes on the Wiki shortly, but here's the link: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-ca/2013/ubuntu-ca.2013-09-26-23.01.html
[00:24] <scaldra> Well I'm going to head home, so I'll be back later tonight!
[23:32] <azend|pub> hey, anyone around?
[23:42] <BobJonkman1> azend, hi!
[23:43] <BobJonkman1> azend|pub: Hi to you too!
