[00:00] If not, we can leave it until there's a desperate, pent-up demand... [00:00] OK, let me know, either here in the #ubuntu-ca channel, or on the mailing list. [00:01] Is interest really declining or are there just people temporarily away? [00:01] It's been quiet all over, so I think people may just be enjoying the last few days of nice weather [00:02] 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] The weather is unlikely to be this warm late in October. [00:02] I'll bet there were Telephone User Groups back in Alex Bell's day [00:03] But you don't see TUGs around any more, either [00:03] I dunno, we've had some nice days around Hallowe'en in the past. [00:03] But I also remember trekking door-to-door with my son through the snow [00:04] They could have used party lines for their meetings. [00:04] :) [00:04] If you want a meeting, let me know. [00:05] Or even better, just pop over to the Ubuntu-ca LoCo page and schedule one yourself. [00:05] The Ubuntu Hours in Guelph are new, and have been pretty popular (both of them) :| [00:06] Katherine: If you schedule a meeting or an Ubuntu Hour then I'll come. [00:07] 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] :) 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] 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] 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] All right, if there's nothing else, I'll #endmeeting [00:11] (we're already at T-plus 10 minutes and counting for the meeting end :) ) [00:11] #endmeeting === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting:Thu, 26 Sep 4pm PDT, 7pm EDT, 8:30pm NDT | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer! [00:11] Meeting ended Fri Sep 27 00:12:01 2013 UTC. [00:11] Minutes (wiki): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-ca/2013/ubuntu-ca.2013-09-26-23.01.moin.txt [00:11] Minutes (html): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-ca/2013/ubuntu-ca.2013-09-26-23.01.html [00:11] So that's that! [00:12] Is this where the Ubuntu Kootenay's meet up? [00:12] Hi scaldra: Yes, they can. [00:12] I think KombuchaKip is from that area [00:12] West Coast, anyway. That's close, right? [00:13] Bob: Good luck with your talk. I probably won't be at SFD until later if I make it at all. [00:13] Katherine: OK, hope to see you, even for a short while [00:14] BobJonkman1: Close, a few hours away. [00:14] scaldra: I'm not sure how active the Kootenay group is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Kootenay [00:15] When I was in Europe, someone asked if I knew his cousin in Newfoundland. [00:15] Yeah the site doesn't even work [00:15] Newfoundland might actually be closer to Europe than Ontario. [00:15] Canada is *really* big [00:16] scaldra: So, there's a project for you! Revive interest in Ubuntu-ca-kootenay ! [00:16] Will try :) [00:16] I guess people in other countries never look at Canada on a world map. [00:17] I'll l start by hanging out here [00:17] 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] scaldra: Hanging out here is great! [00:19] I like the mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca [00:19] Lots of folks there. It's an informal advice channel, announcements about events, philosophical discussion on free software, you name it! [00:19] Also my user is actually oo-dragon so you know for later [00:20] OK, but you may need to remind me. Is that your Launchpad username? [00:21] But not at home, so quickly tried to setup irc on my phone to get in time for meeting [00:22] I think so... [00:22] 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] Well I'm going to head home, so I'll be back later tonight! === BobJonkman1 changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Next meeting: None scheduled | Response may take a while, please wait for an answer!
