[16:30] <belkinsa> Hello there, Canada LoCo.  You guys got me to come to you about your new way of conducting a meeting.  Here is one suggestion: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2014-January/006591.html ;0

[19:11] <zykotick9> BobJonkman: can I ask "why" ubuntu-ca wants/needs a video chat solution?
[19:42] <BobJonkman> Hi zykotick9: Video chat was proposed as a way to engage people who have expressed interest in Ubuntu (by joining the Launchpad team https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ca or the mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca or one of the chapters https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/#Canadian_Team_Chapters but who haven't been participating in the regular IRC meetings, and haven't been coming to Ubuntu Hours or Relea
[19:54] <zykotick9> BobJonkman: well, i wish you all the best with that.  Video chat with "free" software, or !googlefree might prove difficult...  good luck.  I just saw all the ML activity, and was wondering why.  Thanks.
[19:56] <BobJonkman> Like you, I'm becoming more of a FAIF advocate all the time, and I disagree with some of the directions Canonical is taking that seem to be to be anti-FAIF, eg. Google Hangouts as the "official" chap app for UDS.
[19:58] <BobJonkman> The advice of "go where the people are" is good, but I'm feeling very conflicted about going to Google Hangouts or Facebook or any of the other anti-FAIF proprietary silos that only exist to exploit the people using it
[20:02] <zykotick9> i hear ya!  it was a big part of my leaving ubuntu, and recently leaving debian...  i now consider "free software" essential (NSA revelations seem to prove this)
[20:39] <BobJonkman> zykotick9:  What would you choose as a suitably FAIF video chat app?
[20:55] <BobJonkman> I'm trying https://chatb.org/#ubuntu-ca now, works OK in Chromium (JS but no Flash)
