| rickspencer3 | hey loco team ... any thoughts about setting up a meetup for Thursday for the release party? | 12:51 |
|---|---|---|
| rickspencer3 | ChanServ, do you do anything interesting? | 12:59 |
| ChinnoDog | ChanServ is boring. He has the personality of a robot. | 13:00 |
| * adom lawls. | 13:21 | |
| rickspencer3 | hey adom, ChinnoDog | 13:21 |
| * adom waves. | 13:21 | |
| rickspencer3 | would you guys come out to a little celebration on THursday night? | 13:21 |
| adom | Whereabouts? | 13:21 |
| rickspencer3 | I'm looking to reserve a table for us at Bread and Soda | 13:21 |
| rickspencer3 | it's on Wisconsin Avenue in Glover Park | 13:22 |
| adom | that's a 45min drive from my work. i dont get out until 5:30, so i wouldnt get there until 6:15 at the very earliest. more likely closer to 6:45 probably. | 13:24 |
| adom | if everyone will be tryign to go, i could try to attend as well | 13:24 |
| adom | but cant guarantee anything yet | 13:25 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: I've got plans on Thursday night already :\ | 13:26 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, bring them! | 13:26 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: If only! Unfortunatley these plans put me in Southern VA | 13:28 |
| rickspencer3 | ChinnoDog, adom, marcoceppi what do you guys think about me setting a meetup on meetup.com? | 13:55 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: for the release party, or for more regular events? | 13:55 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, for the release party as a start? | 13:55 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: I don't really have a problem, with the exception that meetup is a paid for platform | 13:56 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, yeah, I can pay for it | 13:56 |
| rickspencer3 | it may bring some more people into the loco, I was thinking | 13:56 |
| rickspencer3 | arg ... I have to name the meetup group and stuff | 13:57 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, how does "DC Ubuntu Parties" sound for a group name? | 13:57 |
| rickspencer3 | I presume I can change it later | 13:57 |
| rickspencer3 | maybe DC Ubuntu Get Togethers ? | 13:58 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: Ubuntu DC LoCo might be a better umbrela name, or "Ubuntu DC" | 13:58 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, is it ok if I use "LoCo"? | 13:58 |
| ChinnoDog | Meetup for this purpose seems useful but unnecessary | 13:58 |
| rickspencer3 | I didn't want to be presumptious | 13:58 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: I'd recommend at least mailing the ubuntu dc mailing list with this idea too, since only a small amount of us are in IRC | 13:59 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, well, I tried the mailing list, but got rejected because I was not accepted tot he team yet :( | 13:59 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: I assume so? | 13:59 |
| rickspencer3 | I'll leave LoCo out of it for now | 13:59 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: that's lame, we really need to figure out who has the power of what in the loco and get some more active bodies in places | 13:59 |
| rickspencer3 | I don't feel like it would be right for me to claim that I represent the Loco | 14:00 |
| rickspencer3 | marcoceppi, well, in fairness, I applied like 1 hour ago :) | 14:00 |
| marcoceppi | rickspencer3: ah, that's probably why! ;) | 14:00 |
| ChinnoDog | I sent a message to the list requesting access to moderate and the response was that all pending membership requests have been taken care of | 14:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Oh. 1hr ago is not long. | 14:00 |
| rickspencer3 | ChinnoDog, :) | 14:00 |
| rickspencer3 | hey marcoceppi ChinnoDog adom, etc... http://www.meetup.com/DC-DMV-Ubuntu-Meetup-Group/ | 14:17 |
| * marcoceppi joins | 15:05 | |
| * adom joined. | 15:37 | |
| rickspencer3 | yeah! | 15:46 |
| rickspencer3 | I'm confirming a venue in a few minutes, then I'll make the invite for the event | 15:46 |
| rickspencer3 | http://www.meetup.com/DC-DMV-Ubuntu-Meetup-Group/events/145669202/ | 16:06 |
| rickspencer3 | ChinnoDog, any chance you could send that through the loco mailing list or something? | 16:07 |
| ChinnoDog | Just wait for them to auth you. If it takes too long I can send a message to the list to nudge them. | 16:09 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks ChinnoDog | 16:10 |
| adom | rickspencer3: you might want to update bcurtiswx, he's OP here. | 17:56 |
| bcurtiswx | hey rickspencer3 what can i do for you ? | 17:57 |
| bcurtiswx | adom, what did he want befre ? | 17:57 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: \o/ | 18:03 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: he's waiting for approval on the dc loco list | 18:04 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: also, can you op someone eles in the channel, or add them to chanserv? | 18:04 |
| bcurtiswx | i can op anyone, but we've approved everyone we have in waiting | 18:06 |
| rickspencer3 | hi bcurtiswx | 18:11 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, I joined the dc loco team this morning (I think) | 18:11 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, and also, I am organizing a little release event | 18:12 |
| rickspencer3 | I would like to invite the loco to that | 18:12 |
| adom | bcurtiswx: sorry for late response, at work...just that i think ^^^ | 18:13 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, lemme go look, once sec | 18:13 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks bcurtiswx | 18:13 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, what is your launchpad id ? | 18:15 |
| rickspencer3 | rick-rickspencer3 | 18:16 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, ^ | 18:16 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, I don't see it https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-districtofcolumbia | 18:21 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, hmmm | 18:22 |
| rickspencer3 | let me try again | 18:22 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, ok, I have no idea what team I tried to join earlier :) | 18:23 |
| bcurtiswx | we've had to change our name before, since we're the weird part of the US in that we aren't a state, but a territory | 18:23 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, taxation without representation :) | 18:24 |
| bcurtiswx | ;) | 18:29 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, so, can you come on Thursday? | 20:13 |
| bcurtiswx | not looking good for me specifically, things can change tho. | 20:13 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, so what brings you to DC from Seattle ? | 20:13 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, well, we (my wife, son, and I) lived in Alexandria in 90s, before we left so I could work at Microsoft in 1998 | 20:14 |
| rickspencer3 | that's why we went to Seattle | 20:14 |
| rickspencer3 | after the boy graduated High School, I had already been working for Canonical for 4.5 years, so ... | 20:14 |
| rickspencer3 | we decided to move back | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | my wife didn't love Seattle, but we both love DC | 20:15 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, ah I'm sorry you had to deal with MSoft ;) | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | (we have a daughter now too, but didn't when we left for Seattle) | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, almost 10 years there! | 20:15 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, well then, welcome back :) | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks bcurtiswx | 20:15 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, I'd love to be part of other loco events, btw | 20:16 |
| bcurtiswx | you introduced me to Mr. Shuttleworth at the UDS-O so I'm still thankful for that | 20:16 |
| rickspencer3 | I should have planned this party weeks ago, but I was so heads down driving the phone release | 20:16 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, oh? I don't recall, though I'm sure he does | 20:16 |
| rickspencer3 | sabdfl never forgets anyeone | 20:17 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, i'm not very happy with how touch has taken away from the Desktop, but hopefully when things start getting more "gelled" the Desktop can regain that focus | 20:17 |
| bcurtiswx | We usually meet once a month in here for formalities as we try to get "official LoCo" status back | 20:18 |
| rickspencer3 | we're not official? | 20:18 |
| rickspencer3 | hmmm | 20:18 |
| bcurtiswx | i'm sure we could, but with how busy everyone is, we haven't attended a "let us back in" IRC chat | 20:19 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, hold on, just took a call | 20:19 |
| rickspencer3 | brb | 20:19 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, sure thing | 20:19 |
| ChinnoDog | rickspencer3: I would be curious about the relative merits of living in DC vs Seattle. | 20:50 |
| rickspencer3 | ChinnoDog, then come on Thursday! | 20:50 |
| rickspencer3 | ;) | 20:50 |
| rickspencer3 | we can talk all about it | 20:50 |
| rickspencer3 | personally, I like both places | 20:50 |
| bcurtiswx | Meteorologically speaking, Seattle's a rainy place, but probably not as rainy as the past week has been | 20:51 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't on Thursday. :-( I already have plans. | 20:51 |
| bcurtiswx | Yeah, typically there's two points that have to be met in order for people to show up at events.. A) Metro access and B) Weekends | 20:52 |
| ChinnoDog | I would be up for it most weekdays but can't this time. | 20:54 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx good to note about the metro access, I'll keep that in mind for next time | 20:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I like having my weekends to myself. | 20:54 |
| rickspencer3 | probably more than 2 days notice too ;) | 20:54 |
| marcoceppi | we had a small, but successful two outings from just the people in IRC on weekdays, but weekends are way better (and more notice) | 20:54 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, marcoceppi is there a Loco wiki page where I should put the breadsoda thing? | 21:22 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, haha.. There is | 21:23 |
| bcurtiswx | the reason i laugh, is that we have a drupal page.. well.. had one.. and Canonical is having a troubled time getting it back up.. | 21:23 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/ | 21:24 |
| rickspencer3 | oops | 21:24 |
| bcurtiswx | it's been that way for a good month now | 21:24 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, well, now you have an escalation point :) | 21:24 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, if it helps it's been in purgatory in rt "rt.ubuntu.com #22941" | 21:25 |
| rickspencer3 | bcurtiswx, I need to go, remind me tomorrow and I'll chase it up :) | 21:26 |
| bcurtiswx | rickspencer3, i will try. Have a great evening | 21:26 |
| rickspencer3 | bye! | 21:26 |
| bcurtiswx | bye | 21:26 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED TO TALK TO | 21:28 |
| bcurtiswx | marcoceppi, yes? | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: IS contacted me a while ago, they can't update it and took it off line because of a plugin incompatibility | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | it, the site | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | after the forums were comprimised, they went through and upgraded all the properites. They asked me about the site but I didn't know who to mention it to | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | and it slipped my mind | 21:29 |
| bcurtiswx | they contacted you? | 21:29 |
| bcurtiswx | when? | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | before the site was taken offline | 21:29 |
| marcoceppi | shortly before* | 21:30 |
| marcoceppi | they can put it back online but the plugin needs to be removed or whatever. Let me find the email | 21:30 |
| bcurtiswx | i've been on contact with them after that, in e-mail threads, i gave them perm to get it back up with a newer Drupal | 21:30 |
| bcurtiswx | they told me all that in their initial communication | 21:30 |
| bcurtiswx | marcoceppi, but, thanks :) | 21:30 |
| marcoceppi | bcurtiswx: cool | 21:30 |
| marcoceppi | I can help push it along if need b | 21:30 |
| bcurtiswx | marcoceppi, OK, Thanks | 21:31 |
