mhall119#action mhall119 to add govatent as team admin in Launchpad01:11
meetingologyACTION: mhall119 to add govatent as team admin in Launchpad01:11
mhall119yay, more work items :)01:11
chloricperfect01:11
itnet7lol01:11
mhall119alright, the next topic is from itnet7 01:11
mhall119#topic New team lead/contact elections 01:11
chloricgovagova, just keep me posted on those cookies. 01:11
mhall119itnet7: did you want to introduce this topic?01:11
itnet7Sure01:12
itnet7Basically, I have kind of been out of the loop lately with my job and other things that have been going on. I don't really want to stand in the way of any progress. So I thought I would propose the idea if we should elect a replacement that could help set the direction for the team01:13
mhall119itnet7: can you give folks an idea of what a lead needs to do?01:13
itnet7The team lead will act as a laison (sp?) between the team and the councils and canonical. They would be subscribed to the Loco-contacts list and would share information that is important to share with the team01:15
govatentMy time is a bit tough with work, but I'd like to nominate myself to help or try it. 01:16
mhall119so the councils, like the community council (which I'm now on) and the loco teams council (which itnet7 is/was on) like to have a point of contact within loco teams in case they need to get information about the team, or push some info out to them01:16
chloriccan it be more than one person?01:16
itnet7I was thinking that it might be good to potentially form a council01:16
mhall119it can be whatever we want, really, but having one or a small number is better01:16
chloricthat works01:16
govatentI like a small number. 01:16
mhall119I'm happy with a council, how about 3 people?01:17
chlorica small council might be a great idea01:17
* ahoneybun would like to try/help 01:17
Michelle_a triumverite would be probably best in terms of a small number01:17
govatentI feel given our team members time, a Council would be better. 01:17
itnet7I think it makes the most sense01:17
mhall119ok, so should we set a timeframe for nominations, and then put those up for a vote?01:18
chloricvote to have a 3 member council?01:18
mhall119chloric: we probably should, yeah01:18
govatentI like that idea 01:18
munzcrap sorry im late :)01:18
itnet7No problem munz01:18
mhall119#vote should we nominate and vote on a 3-member team council?01:18

govatentAh OK 01:23
mhall119so we have a *lot* of ubuntu-florida stuff all over the internet01:24
mhall119more than we can keep up to date and active01:24
mhall119http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-florida/700/detail/ has a list of just what I could find with some quick googling01:24
govatentI'd be willing a few days a week help post and update our stuff 01:24
chloricyeah, the Linux Cafe has tons of photos 01:24
mhall119so I wanted to recommend we pick 2 or 3 to focus on01:25
Michelle_I'll break out the editing fingers, if it'd be helpful.01:25
mhall119IRC should definitely remain one of our main ways of staying in touch01:25
mhall119we also have Facebook, Google+, discourse.ubuntu.com, ubuntu forums, etc01:25
mhall119discourse is new, but very slick, it's like a better version of forums01:26
mhall119how many of us are on facebook and/or google+?  I'm on both pretty frequently01:26
itnet7Me too01:26
ahoneybunsame01:26
Max-TitherI personally like Google+01:27
ahoneybunsame01:27
Michelle_I facebook like a madwoman01:27
chloricG+ is my preference, but I also want to start getting on the IRC channel more often01:27
Michelle_I'm happy to mind the Ubuntu Fl Facebook page, if we have one. 01:27
mhall119ok, so Google+ seems popular, right now we only have a page, but we could change to using a G+ community if we wanted01:28
itnet7We do michelle I can add you as an admin to the facebook page01:28
mhall119I'll have to see who's admin on the Facebook page, it's not me, maybe itnet7 or dan?01:28
Michelle_That'll work, itnet7 01:28
mhall119thanks itnet7 01:28
mhall119#action itnet7 to add Michelle_ as admin of the team Facebook page01:28
meetingologyACTION: itnet7 to add Michelle_ as admin of the team Facebook page01:28

itnet7It seems I am listed as the owner of the google+ team page01:31
mhall119itnet7: can you add me as an admin there?01:32

itnet7yeah01:32
mhall119thanks01:32
itnet7I will as soon as I see how ;-)01:32
govatentI love to follow and find Linux news 01:32
mhall119whomever is elected to the council we should add as admins too01:32
Michelle_mhall119 and I can cross-post as necessary, too... since we share a living room. 01:32
mhall119:)01:32
govatentI've found that reddit/Ubuntu and /Linux have good stuff in community news 01:33
mhall119yeah, anything you find that the team might be interested in we should post on those outlets01:33
Michelle_govatent: if you'll email/IRC/whatever me links, I'll be sure they get FB crossposted, too. 01:34
itnet7mhall119: I just invited you to the team page, I think once you join I can make you a moderator 01:34
govatentCan we create a location so team members can submit content for posting? 01:34
Michelle_oh, that would be a good idea.01:34
munznice^01:34
govatentWith approval 01:34
mhall119oh, a community now \o/01:34

Max-Titherhaha01:38

govatentIf I may before we talk about reoccurring meetings, can we also mention the Linux cafe. 01:38
govatentWanna say it now before I die 01:38
mhall119govatent: sure, but only because you're phone is dying01:38
itnet7;-)01:38
mhall119death-bed promotions01:38
Michelle_govatent's last stand!01:38
mhall119govatent: ?01:39
mhall119still with us?01:39
govatentWe can do it after. Chloric can tell you guys about it. 01:39
mhall119ah, ok01:39
mhall119so, recurring meetings, monthly?  bi-weekly? weekly?01:39
govatentIt's to much to type on my phone. 01:39
govatentBi weekly is my vote 01:40
mhall119govatent: I'll make an open topic after this one01:40
ahoneybunweekly or bi01:40
chloricwhat's up?01:40
itnet7govatent: is the indiegogo campaign still going on for PLC?01:40
mhall119weekly might be too much, we've managed to have one all year in 201301:40
munzmonthly or bi01:40
munzmonthly01:41
Michelle_I suggest monthly, until we get our tushes in gear and have need for more frequently.01:41
munzyes01:41
mhall119how about the first-monday of the month?  that would put the next one Jan 5th01:41
mhall119same time and place01:41
munzyes01:41
Michelle_works01:41
mhall119monday's seemed to work best when I polled people on the mailinglist01:41
ahoneybunyea I think01:41
govatentAlright 01:42
chloricthat works01:42
mhall119alright, I'll get it on loco.ubuntu.com01:42
mhall119anybody can add agenda items to it between now and then, you just need to log in using Ubuntu SSO01:42
chloricwait01:43
chloricJan 5th is a sunday01:43
chloricyou mean the 6th?01:43
mhall119yeah, I can't read calendars evidently01:43
mhall119http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-florida/706/detail/01:43
Michelle_Well.01:43
chloricoh ok01:43
chloricperfect01:43
mhall119also, we have Google Hangouts available now, which would let us use audio/video conferencing instead of IRC01:44
mhall119is there any interest in using that for team meetings instead of IRC?01:44
govatentAlright guys. I need to hop off. 01:45
mhall119IRC has the benefit of being logged, we get this lovely meetingology bot, and we don't need to wear pants01:45
itnet7I actually like using g+ alot for meetings01:45
govatentDon't forget about me! Chloric or itnet7 please tell the group about the stuff we've done in Milan 01:45
Michelle_I vote no pants. 01:45
itnet7ROFL01:45
govatentAnd I do like both ideas 01:46
munz:)01:46
mhall119govatent: someone will01:46
chloricGeneral meetings could be done of hangouts, but shouldn't board meetings on IRC? 01:46
mhall119there isn't much difference for us right now01:46
chloricoh ok01:46
chloricthen nvm01:46
govatentExcept the pants 01:46
Max-TitherWe could use both for those who can not get on hangouts.01:46
mhall119ok, I'll make a note to start a hangout next time and we'll give it a test-run01:47
Max-TitherBut IRC does have the benefit of it being logged01:47
munzand no pants01:47
mhall119alright, that's it for the official agenda01:47
itnet7We can record the hangouts right?01:47
mhall119#topic open mic01:48
mhall119itnet7: yes, but they're public on YouTube forever and ever after01:48
itnet7OH01:48
itnet7nvm01:48
itnet7;-)01:48
mhall119yeah01:49
mhall119chloric: ok, now's your time to tell us all about PLC01:49
chloricOh ok01:49
chloricsure01:49
chloricI find it to be a gathering place to share ideas and actually share technologies. They have nearly monthly capture the flag competitions and a wide variety of meetings too01:50
chloricthe owners and most of the patrons are very very approachable and eager to teach and spread linux as a platform01:51
mhall119for those that don't know: http://planetlinuxcaffe.com/01:52
mhall119it's a cool little place in Miami that's linux-themed everything01:52
mhall119they've hosted a number of in-person meetups that chloric and govatent organized01:53
chloricThere are plenty of individual interests at the cafe and competing opinions, but everyone is open to Linux in many ways. sure we argue over best DE or distro or whatnot, but everyone is using linux to some extent regardless of distro01:53
munzi looked at the website it looks cool01:53
chloricyeah, we've had a lot of events there01:53
mhall119chloric: do you register those events on loco.ubuntu.com?01:53
chloricit's awesome. they have plenty of gadgets to play with and 5 computers to tinker with01:53
chlorica few server racks too01:53
ahoneybunI for sure want to go there sometime01:54
itnet7The owners have really supported the Florida Team, they have promoted release parties, and made custom cakes for everyone to help celebrate the release parties that have been held there!01:54
Michelle_mhall119: roadtrip!01:54
chloricYeah, itnet has come to a few as well01:54
chloricit's always awesome seeing ya itnet01:55
itnet7thanks chloric 01:55
munznice, can you just come in any time during biz hours? and they have coffee and such?01:55
itnet7munz: yeah01:55
chloricthey have coffee, cakes, snacks, drinks and sandwiches01:55
munznice, soy milk?01:56
mhall119itnet7: chloric: btw, if you guys want to get money for food or drinks at these events, we have some community budget from Canonical you can request01:56
itnet7They even allow you to bring in Pizza from Dominos01:56
mhall119http://community.ubuntu.com/help-information/funding/01:56
chloricit's easy to spend between 5 and 10 bucks 01:56
itnet7Awesome mhall119 !01:56
ahoneybunI don't see any meetings this month for Ubuntu01:56
chloricmhall119: really?01:56
mhall119chloric: yup01:56
chloricmhall119: that's good to know. we'll have to keep that in mind for 14.0401:56
itnet7ahoneybun: we were having monthly meetings, but I think things have been really busy lately for the organizers01:57
mhall119alright, well we've used up the full hour, is there anything else you guys want to talk about?01:57
itnet7No, Thanks mhall119 so much for getting the ball rolling again!!01:58
Michelle_mhall119: do you want to make an announcement about our tentative Qimo plans?01:58
mhall119itnet7: happy to do it, want to get the Florida team rocking again01:58
mhall119sure01:58
itnet7Heck yeah!01:58
chloricthis'll be awesome too01:58
itnet7Oh, QIMO PLANS woohoo!!01:58
mhall119so for those that don't know, Michelle_ and I made an ubuntu-based distro for kids a few years ago called Qimo01:58
Michelle_yes, sir, itnet7 01:58
mhall119and we want to reboot that too, and plan to put together a new release to coincide with 14.0401:59
itnet7Excellent mhall119 !01:59
mhall119it'll still be Ubuntu-based, but we're going to switch it to Unity instead of Xfce, because it's close to what Qimo's old UI was, and will make it much easier to maintain01:59
itnet7and Michelle_ of course ;-)01:59
mhall119if anybody is interested in helping, email me: mhall119@ubuntu.com01:59
chloricmhall119: you should come down and do a QIMO event alonside an Ubuntu gig01:59
Michelle_mhall119's doing the hard work.  I'm just gonna do the promotion!01:59
mhall119chloric: maybe some time, it's a pretty long drive and we're not all as crazy as govatent :)02:00
mhall119but we can maybe make a weekend of it02:00
chlorictrue lol02:00
Michelle_yes, we can. 02:00
Michelle_::determined face:: 02:00
