[00:45] greg-g: I wasn't aware of anything that I own that'll play FLAC via disc [00:46] Though I think there are some higher-end devices that will [00:49] http://xiph.org/flac/links.html [00:51] Honestly most of the FLAC compatible devices don't support discs or are "network players" [00:51] http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hifi-components/cd-players/cd-n500_w/ [00:52] Here you go: single CD Yamaha device. MSRP: $800 [00:57] can buy a USB cdrom drive and plug into an rpi for under $100 [00:57] RPI's DAC is a piece of shit [00:57] you'd need an external one [00:58] http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hifi-components/cd-players/cd-s3000_u/?mode=model [00:58] Doesnt' support FLAC, but at this price I don't think you'd be able to afford much else. [00:59] is it? [00:59] sad ot hear that. [01:00] oh right...i've only listened to the digital audio coming out the hdmi :( [01:00] yeah, it's one of the compromises [01:00] lame DACs take me back :] [01:00] i called a buddy out on a bad DAC in a mobo that he had in his media server. [01:01] Well, and that's the thing that pisses me off about the "analog snobs" vs. CDs [01:02] I can get better and more consistent sound out of digital then you ever could out of analog [01:03] and if "analog snobs" spent as much on CD players / DACs and found CD albums that weren't direct ports of shoddy LP masters then there would be no contest. [01:03] truth! [01:03] but I digress [01:05] I just laugh [01:05] And quietly download the FLAC file and buy the CD album [01:52] hello [01:53] Hello there [01:53] my phone seems to think its time for a meeting soon :-P [01:53] We'll be starting the meeting in about 5 minutes [01:53] due to the time change we get to start a couple minutes early? yay [01:54] Smartarse. :) [01:56] sorry it is contagious...we are watching dvr'd craig ferguson [02:00] I <3 Craig Ferguson [02:00] OK, let's get started [02:01] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-michigan/521/detail/ [02:01] That's the agenda [02:02] First order of business: Verification [02:02] We've been approached after our recent Approval expiration to come back into the verified loco fold [02:03] I told them we're an older loco and most of our folks have moved on to other projects, but they seemed to think we could still make verification [02:03] So with that in mind.. [02:03] i got an email about that i think [02:03] There's an application that we'll need to fill out and submit for verification [02:04] I can fill that out and submit it if there are no objections [02:04] I don't think it really gets us much of anything, but I think they want to encourage more groups to remain verified [02:05] And by extension active and vibrant and what-not. [02:05] So if there's no qualms about verification I'll start the paperwork. [02:05] Any questions? [02:05] sounds good to me [02:07] Anyone else? [02:09] OK. Anything else we should cover? [02:11] penguicon is open for talks [02:11] OK. Tell us more? [02:12] http://2014.penguicon.org/get-involved/#presenting [02:12] i've no issue about the verification. [02:12] sorry i wandered off [02:13] Kevin O'Brien and I and perhaps krunal are working on the tech track [02:13] we would like to have a central theme on privacy and security but will certainly accept talks in other areas of computing and tech [02:14] waldo323: Maybe we could post this on the mailing list? [02:14] Ot [02:14] It'd be nice to have some of these talks nailed down sooner than later. :) [02:15] we will, kevin has a draft of a call for talks so we'll hopefully have something out soon [02:15] Awesomesauce [02:19] Hello, I am planning on going to Penguincon, it will be my first one. I seen some videos and talked to some people, sounds like a great time. [02:19] It is. It's a lot of fun [02:21] looks like it. :) [02:21] OK, unless there's anything else I think we can call this meeting adjourned. [02:23] thanks for hosting :) [02:23] Thank you all for coming! [02:39] it is a great day for america, have a good night [13:55] Good morning [13:55] morning [14:09] Apparently JoDee is now on Kickstarter [14:09] Be afraid. Be very afraid. [14:09] What'd she kickstart? [14:10] lol [14:10] The Ladies of Science thing she shared on G+ [18:42] https://twitter.com/creativecommons/status/397432611015884801 [18:43] cmaloney: nice! [18:46] Feel like an idiot that I didn't look at the FB post before responding. :) [18:46] Ah well [18:48] yeah, was going to say ;) [18:56] http://decafbad.net/2013/11/04/one-week-of-living-mostly-creative-commons-follow-along-at-home/ [19:10] jcastro: you in HK this week? [19:10] no unfortunately [19:11] Ryan Lane is [19:11] if you want to tell people to bum rush him [19:11] we have people there [19:11] yea, smoser is there I think [19:15] jcastro: so your bundle works with the deployer. I can't debug it in the gui atm. There's still an issue with the quickstart. So I'll file a card with the bundle and some info. It's definitely not you though since the deployer takes it. [19:15] ta [19:15] thanks for looking into it [19:17] well not just me fighting npm today yay https://twitter.com/search?q=npm [19:18] well, when you deploy dependent on a 3rd party ... it happens [19:18] the best is when github is down and people are like "I can' [19:18] t get any work done!" [19:18] it's like dude, _distributed_ version control [19:18] I laugh at those people [19:18] well, this is why amazon is brilliant. Check out their home page today http://www.amazon.com/ [19:19] jcastro: yea, though to be fair. When launchpad is down you can't land branches, look up issues, etc. [19:19] yeah, same here with gerrit [19:19] jcastro: so yes, you can commit and work on your current work, but if you fetch other branches, need to trigger CI with a pull request, etc you're fubar. Lot more than git commit out there [19:19] rick_h_, I am saying if your job depends on something you don't host that's a bad place to be [19:19] right, everyone has the central place [19:19] this is why our IS team is so picky with charms [19:20] meh [19:20] but at least I can phyiscally kick the person who should kick gerrit ;) [19:20] jcastro: you bought a laptop from someone :P [19:20] things needs to deploy from internal resources so when an external thing goes down we're not sitting around sword fighting [19:20] heh, nice [19:20] sword fighting. [19:20] "compiling" joke [19:20] "compiling!" [19:20] now right, that's what annoys me. I've fought to try to get us to setup npm in full offline mode but "well just setup a cache" won out. [19:20] rick_h_, yeah but today is what you needed to win that fight! [19:21] though it took me two years to make bookie use a download-cache offline [19:21] Yep, because caches are great when you haven't accessed a resource before [19:21] Oh wait, that's backwards. [19:21] this is why I had 30GB of disk filled with a pypi miffor [19:21] just like relying on caches. [19:21] it's trivial to update caches regularly [19:21] cron job, done [19:22] jcastro: so is rsync. ;) [19:22] sure, whatever floats your boat [19:51] ooh, lastpass 3 is out and it's less fugly! [20:15] anyone around here doing some Qt develoment? or in the detroit area? [20:16] I haven't touched Qt in a long time [20:16] and even then it was mostly "hello world" [20:17] cmaloney: have a favorite Ravel performance recording? [20:17] Not really. I can't get past another re-tread of "Bolero" [20:17] Which is a pity because Ravel isn't bad. [20:18] i heard a great performance of a Ravel song at Umich Halloween Concert [20:18] i thought i'd pick up something [20:19] There's two recordings that I have. One is "French Favourites" which has two tracks of Ravel (along with Milhaud and Debussy) but the second track is fucking Bolero [20:19] But it's the DSO with Jaarvi, so it's awesome. :) [20:19] The second recording is Ravel's "Daphnis Et Chloe" [20:20] it's conducted by Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra [20:20] It's a Living Stereo Release and should be pretty easy to pick up locally at Barnes and Noble. [20:20] The others that I have are a best-of that JoDee has that's "meh" [20:21] cool [20:21] And Martha Agerich's Solo Piano which has some of his piano works. [20:21] But generally speaking I don't go out of my way for Ravel. [20:22] cmaloney: thanks [20:22] NP [20:23] jrwren: I think there's a separate disc of Martha Agerich playing Ravel, but honestly I love all of her playing enough to recommend just getting the solo works 1 collection [20:23] She's a rock star. [20:24] http://www.amazon.com/Martha-Argerich-Collection-Solo-Recordings/dp/B001BWQVSG [20:27] Allegedly Horowitz never recorded any Ravel. [20:27] http://www.gramophone.co.uk/features/focus/vladimir-horowitz-remembered-%E2%80%93-on-his-birthday [22:55] Hello cmaloney, it has been awhile. [22:55] How are you doing?
