[00:39] philipballew: oops, just saw your meeting announcement [00:39] pleia2, no worries! [00:40] I figured you were either traveling or jet lagged so I just went and send it. [00:40] but then again, you are always kinda traveling these days. [00:40] so jetlagged that when I do get around to sending it, I don't check if someone else sent it first ;) [00:41] not traveling again until scale! [00:41] pleia2, no worries. I'll be at the meeting. (If I am not tweet or call or text and I'll hop on) [00:42] SCALE is an easy two hour car ride for me in reavol's car... [00:42] I am trying to convince mjoseph to take the train down [00:43] pleia2, iirc, you can take one that goes along the coast. [00:43] yep [00:43] the coast starlight [00:43] and trains have wifi [00:43] so there is that [00:44] I was gonna look at megabus, greyhound and train prices to show at the meeting tonight in hopes people will buy them and come down... [00:45] also pleia2 I hear Southwest has some really good deals :) :) [00:46] I don't fly off alliance ;P [00:46] need my FF miles! [00:46] yeah, Southwest if the only sac to san diego direct so I do them for that. I like Us Airways, but have never had good luck with United. [00:47] by us air, I mean old us air... [00:47] not American [00:47] heh, united is awful [00:47] I spent the night at sfo because United canceled my flight... [00:47] I flew them honolulu to sfo this morning (or last night, I am not really sure what day it is) [00:48] on united [00:48] unattentive staff, grumpy counter people [00:49] But they still make money because they go everywhere. [00:50] They fly into small towns, and big towns. [00:50] sfo is a united hub, so I end up on them annoyingly frequently [00:51] but usairways is moving to oneworld with the merger, so I won't anymore after march [00:51] are you going to stay with them now though? [00:51] with us air going to American? [00:51] yeah [00:52] I was going to switch to united, but it turns out usairways is going to keep some of their international partnerships (which is really the important thing for me) [00:52] http://www.usairways.com/en-US/aboutus/alliances/codeshare.html [00:52] Title: [US Airways | Codeshare partners] [00:52] also going through Sky Harbor all the time is what sells it to you. [00:53] no more Lufthansa, which makes me sad :\ [00:53] * philipballew has never left north America... [00:53] * philipballew does however leave the country three times a week as he can see the border from his house. [00:54] I'd never even left the country until 2008 (I was 27) [00:54] went to canada! [00:54] then in 2009 I went to england, and the rest is history ;) [00:55] pleia2, your passport must look cool. [00:55] it'll look empty soon (name change) [00:56] Ah, i hear marriage can do that. [00:56] I got a new passport a few months ago, but I use a passport card for most of my travels across the border. [01:39] pleia2: I believe you can submit your old passport and get the pages transferred! [02:48] o/ [03:01] o/ [03:01] #startmeeting [03:01] Meeting started Mon Jan 13 03:01:10 2014 UTC.

[03:03] We are still looking for any volunteers who want to help. [03:03] my main conference talk was accepted (yay!) so I'll be coming and speaking at ubucon too [03:03] * rww added himself to the volunteer list [03:03] philipballew: any news on booth number/placement? [03:03] I am also this week going to call Ema at System76 to see if they can bring an extra laptop or two for us to demo. [03:03] nice [03:03] pleia2, not yet, but we should soon. [03:03] no matter what, we will get it. [03:04] so not much to worry about there. [03:04] rww: think I can put a box of booth goodies in your car? :) [03:04] pleia2: yep, that should be fine [03:04] awesome [03:04] I have a banner here and I am I am getting a conference pack. [03:04] I'll probably be taking 2 or 3 computers down with me too [03:04] I got Canonical to send us Nexas's to demo [03:04] wow, nice [03:04] they arrived from the uk not long ago [03:04] rww: cool [03:05] all work and I will go over them with people. [03:05] * pleia2 nods [03:05] sweet [03:05] I am gonna see if we have any other stuff we should be handing out that is not in the normal conference pack as well. [03:05] be in Juju or anything else. [03:06] great [03:06] for sure. [03:06] I'm trying to convince a couple projects to get their Ubuntu flyers done in time for us to print some for scale, we'll see [03:07] pleia2, perfect. I think that if everybody working the Ubuntu booth would be wearing some sort of Ubuntu apparel that would also be good. [03:07] Do we want candy again (if not, what would take its place)? [03:08] eps: I think so [03:08] I shall bring the dishes [03:08] Chocolate, not chocolate, loose, individually wrapped? [03:09] the individually wrapped thing was good, scale flu considering :) [03:10] no preference candy-wise though, I like candy, I like chocolate [03:10] Some hand sanitizer for the booth for people who want to shake hands? [03:10] yeah, I think that's on the list [03:10] right [03:10] (no one signed up to bring it yet though) [03:10] Don't look at me; TSA won't let me take that on the plane. [03:11] I might see if I have the one from last year ;) [03:11] Does it have an expiration date? [03:11] hopefully richard will have the ubucon site up soon too, I emailed him last week to offer some assistance [03:11] yeah, but I think it's a few years out [03:11] I also got cd's [03:11] about 200 desktop and server for 12.04 [03:11] 12.04? [03:12] * pleia2 nods [03:12] they are trying to get rid of them I think. [03:12] didn't you read nhaines' blog post? ;) [03:12] yeah [03:12] I glanced. :) [03:12] Are they original 12.04 or a recent point release? [03:12] I don't think they press point releases [03:13] Which means no hardware enablement stack. :-( [03:13] eps, People do not care what release it is. They want an official CD because it says Ubuntu on it. [03:13] People already are gonna be running Ubuntu. [03:14] few people try Ubuntu for the first time because they got a CD from a linux show. [03:14] but that is just what I would think. [03:14] yeah.. too many variables [03:14] That's not my attitude when I visit the Fedora booth. [03:14] best case, they put it in in windows and read some autorun thing [03:15] eps, Fedora does flash drives now iirc. [03:15] i just wanted a real one [03:15] holstein, I can see that. [03:15] Flash drives cost $$$. CD/DVD media is cheap. [03:15] i got a few 9.10 server cd's from akgraner back in the day.. i was stoked :) [03:16] then, i get a stack of 12.04 desktop ones i gave out [03:16] eps, si amigo. [03:16] holstein, I think the peple who take them from a linux event might give them out to their friends [03:17] yeah, i mean, we already have access. or have already used them [03:17] anyway, 12.04 is what we have, we don't really have the resources to change that [03:17] yeah, true. [03:17] i think 12.04 is a good call [03:17] its not a bad call [03:17] we'll just explain that it's from 2012 and they can directly upgrade to 14.04 when it comes out in april [03:17] true. I think that if someone wants to install a dofferent version they can install their own, and we can even show them how. [03:17] yeah [03:17] could always offer to burn 13.10 to USB stick, i think we've done that before [03:18] or 12.04.whateveritis [03:18] rww, I could bring a flash drive with all the iso's on it they can barrow if they want to copy it. [03:18] yeah, someone bringing isos would be good [03:18] 12.04.4 LTS by then [03:18] philipballew: great [03:18] i have a user in my LUG trying to get with me to "update her system".. says she cant do wifi/skype/libreoffic.. someone else in the LUG set her up with a non-lts release, and im suspicous that that is the issue [03:18] philipballew: want to add that to the wiki [03:18] philipballew: or just stick it in the computer i will be bringing and dd [03:18] ? [03:18] philipballew: but yeah [03:18] i'll probably have some too [03:18] nice [03:18] pleia2, sure [03:18] ok, anything else re: scale? [03:19] Just the usual request ... if any locals have, e.g., Carl's Jr. coupons to bring them [03:20] * pleia2 nods [03:20] #topic team election [03:20] #link https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2014-January/002356.html [03:20] Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu California LoCo leadership election] [03:20] jyo sent out the ballot a few days ago [03:21] if you're in the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-california team and have a public email address but don't have a ballot, contact him :) [03:21] Title: [Ubuntu California in Launchpad] [03:21] I don't believe I ever received a ballot, but given that there appear to be exactly three candidates for three positions, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion? [03:21] ..of course it's a vote of 3 people for 3 spots, but it's good for the team to get used to this process [03:21] stupid question: why are we having an election to put 3... oh, okay [03:22] eps: you don't have a public email address on launchpad [03:22] rww, because Elections are all the rage these days. [03:22] pleia2: I'm not convinced that's a bad thing. [03:23] eps: sure, just means we don't have a way to send you a ballot [03:23] if you want one, just show jyo your launchpad page and give him your address :) [03:24] the poll will close tomorrow [03:24] #topic Any other business [03:24] anything else before we wrap up for the evening? [03:24] sorry folks.. i didnt realize you were having a meeting when i was chattin earlier.. cheers! [03:25] hehe [03:25] Any Ubuntu Hours coming up? [03:25] SF next/this week, I think [03:25] ah yes, on wednesday [03:25] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2663-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/ [03:26] Title: [Ubuntu Hour San Francisco | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal] [03:26] no debian dinner planned (did one last month, and I'm too tired this week) [03:27] pleia2: how big is box o' scale stuff? [03:27] BARTable size, or...? [03:27] rww: bartable [03:27] philipballew has a banner+tablecloth down south now, so no need to bring the ones I have here for once [03:27] will grab it wednesday then, if it'll be ready by then [03:27] if not we can figure something else out [03:27] sure, I'll put it together before wednesday :) [03:29] alright, thanks for coming everyone [03:30] #endmeeting [03:30] Meeting ended Mon Jan 13 03:30:14 2014 UTC. [03:30] Minutes: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2014/ubuntu-us-ca.2014-01-13-03.01.moin.txt [03:30] * pleia2 seeks dinner [03:31] There's a Subway near you. ;-) [03:32] I have eaten at the Subway. [03:32] Finding cheap food in a big city can be hard sometimes. [03:33] not as hard as grocery shopping though sometimes. [03:34] There's a California-only Subway app for Android and iOS devices. http://www.zippyyum.com/Qrcode/DownloadApp/ [03:34] Title: [Error reading title] [03:35] It's ... entertaining. [05:53] Yes, please poke me if you want a ballot before I close the poll tomorrow. [17:02] happy monday -_- [18:22] pleia2, Talked to Emma in Denver and they are gonna bring a few extra laptops for the booth. [18:36] \o/ [18:47] heck yeah raevol [18:47] hehe [22:12] Any more voters for the LoCo election? One more would push us over 35% turnout. ;)
