raevolhello!03:01
pleia2#link http://uds.ubuntu.com/03:01
darthrobotTitle: [Ubuntu Developer Summit]03:01

darthrobotTitle: [UDS November 2013 19 Nov - 21 Nov 2013 | The Summit Scheduler]03:02
pleia2yep, Tues-Thurs03:02
raevolwork hours for me :( urg03:02
pleia2I'll be attending a few in the community track03:02
pleia2raevol: yeah :\03:03
philipballewI need to find a place to attend and what ours I can attend still but should pop in when I see a worthwhile track.03:03
epsSuch as ...? Looks like it's all Touch this, Touch that. :-(03:03
pleia2eps: QA stuff, LoCos, Ubuntu Women03:04
pleia2#link http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1311/track/community/03:04
darthrobotTitle: [Community Schedule - UDS November 2013 | The Summit Scheduler]03:04
pleia2^^ that's the community track03:04
grantbowwhen registering it still asks about physical vs. remote, lol03:04
epsI see a golden opportunity being missed ... how to close Bug #1 for real.03:04
pleia2classroom sessions, docs roundtable, and limiting surveillence looks interesting03:05
raevoli'd love to go to that QA workflows one, but there's no way03:05
philipballeweps, Good point, can I send you the link for starting a session?03:05
pleia2philipballew: the schedule is set now, the due date for submitting a session was weeks ago03:05
philipballewpleia2, This is correct.03:05
pleia2anyway, all the videos of sessions will be automagically archived on youtube following the sessions, so you can watch later if you want03:06
pleia2which is an improvement to past in-person UDSes at least ;)03:06
pleia2particularly the ones in europe that had sessions at 1AM03:07
grantbow1AM pacific :-)03:07
pleia2eps: I did want to mention, this project exists: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu03:07
darthrobotTitle: [StartUbuntu - Ubuntu Wiki]03:07
pleia2eps: since you were interested in the XP EoL thing, that project seeks to address it03:07
grantbowrolling stones music too?03:08
philipballewmight be a good project to tackle eps :)03:08
pleia2#topic scale12x03:09
raevolhey03:09
pleia2philipballew: I know you said we'd start planning around thanksgiving, but folks are starting to buy tickets, do we have a promo code again?03:09
pleia2promo code for discount, not free booth workers03:09
raevolso a thing i wanted to bring up about SCaLE, the past 2 years we've said it'd be nice to have literatuyre to hand out about common ubuntu questions like "what if i don't like Unity"03:09
raevolcan we make some plans to write/print some of that? i'd love to be involved03:10
pleia2raevol: sure!03:10
philipballewpleia2, We should yes. I was going to send out some emails about this the week after next. I can do that sooner though.03:10
philipballewAnytime after Tuesday.03:10
pleia2philipballew: I think sooner would be better, eps brought this up at the ubuntu hour this week03:10
pleia2cool03:10
philipballewpleia2, I will do my best to do that this week03:10
pleia2thanks :)03:11
grantbowI created a link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale12x but it needs a copy and paste from last year.03:11
grantbowto begin03:11
darthrobot[404] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale12x - Ubuntu Wiki]03:11
pleia2yeah, can someone take care of that? then we'll add raevol's idea too03:11
pleia2if I can make it to scale, I hope to bring along some xubuntu fliers too03:12
raevol:D03:12
grantbowphil, want me to copy and paste from last year to begin?03:12
pleia2(which means we need to finish writing xubuntu fliers :))03:12
epsIf we have demo systems in the booth, there's no reason they can't have multiple desktop environments installed.03:12
philipballewgrantbow, yes please!03:12
grantbowphil, will do03:12
pleia2thanks grantbow03:13
philipballewI am going to be working on handouts and stuff to give away as well.03:13
raevolanother topic it'd be good to have literature on is the shopping lens, and i think it'd be awesome if we had a lot of concerete technical information about what it does, and what happens when you shut it off, especially as a non-direct reply to fixubuntu03:13
pleia2philipballew: oh good, can you work with raevol on that?03:13
raevolbut we can discuss literature outside this meeting03:13
pleia2raevol: yeah, maybe even something simple like a screenshot of the off switch ;)03:13
raevolpleia2: ;D03:13
grantbowphil, done.03:13
grantbowit needs editing03:14
philipballewpleia2, yeah, It might be me and raevol driving up in the car full of swag possibly.03:14
raevolphilipballew: let's schedule a SD ubuntu hour when your school calms down and we can use that to work on this some?03:14
pleia2philipballew: sweet03:14
raevolPARTY BUS FROM SAN DIEGO03:14
pleia2richard is working on getting ubucon together, he said he has all speakers slotted already03:14
pleia2haha03:14
raevoli still want to do my OpenMW talk at SCaLE but i need to get my paper proposal in :(03:14
epsYou should focus on emphasizing the positive ... just be prepared to deal with the trolls.03:14
pleia2raevol: yes! Cfp closes in december I think03:15
pleia2eps: +103:15
raevoleps yea we just find that we answer a lot of the same questions every year, so if we just had literature to give them it'd expedite that...03:15
philipballewI am going to Ubuntu user from Tijuana help possibly, so we will have a translator in case someone speaks Spanish is better.03:15
raevolgrantbow: do you know when the CFP closes offhand? i can look it up if not03:15
pleia215th? I can check03:15
philipballewabout a month from now03:15
grantbowpleia2, thanks03:16
pleia215 Dec, 2013: Deadline for abstracts/proposals submissions03:16
philipballewI know my Christmas break will be spent all on SCALE stuff.03:16
raevolyea 15th03:16
raevolthanks03:16
pleia2but sooner is always better :) more eyeballs on proposals that come in early03:16
pleia2I sent mine in ages ago03:16
raevolyea i just need time to write it :(03:16
grantbowpleia2: on openstack?03:16
* philipballew will only be speaking ubucon this year so there is that.03:16
pleia2grantbow: well, systems administration I do on the openstack project03:17
* grantbow nods03:17
pleia2so not directly openstack itself03:17
philipballewMy talk on "why switching to arch was the greatest decision of my life" was turned down for Ubucon for some reason.03:17
pleia2ok, sounds like we're in a good space for scale then03:17
pleia2haha03:17
raevolphilipballew: xD hahaha03:18
philipballewpleia2, If the booth workers want, we can get some Ubuntu shirts printed for them. or see if we can get some Ubuntu shirts sent out?03:18
pleia2philipballew: hmm, maybe scope out some t-shirt vendors and see if we can get sponsorship for them?03:19
pleia2either sponsored from the vendor, or request community funds from canonical03:19
raevoli'll pay for a shirt if i can keep it03:19
pleia2but we'd need solid prices03:19
philipballewpleia2, Yeah, I am gonna see what I can get for free first03:19
pleia2maybe print them for ubucon speakers too03:19
philipballewthen prices.03:19
philipballewpleia2, Seems like a good option.03:20
epsT-shirts are expensive in short runs.03:20
raevoli wonder if i could get my dad to print some... the design would have to be simple though03:20
pleia2we need an artistic person to make us a good, simple design03:20
philipballewI'm gonna see what I can score for free as well.03:21
pleia2ok, after meeting I'll update the wiki with these ideas03:21
pleia2thanks philipballew03:21
