[11:12] <netritious> wrst: I haven't done anything with that website in a loooong time.
[11:13] <netritious> Svpernova09 hosts the site now.
[11:19] <netritious> jshanks24: meetings died because no one cared to schedule them. When they were scheduled no one showed up. On the rare occasion someone did show up, it was rife with politics. I made a pretty big fuss about it but nothing has changed. There is a blog post on the site about it.
[11:20] <wrst> howdy netritious :)
[11:20] <netritious> howdy wrst :) cold out your way?
[11:20] <netritious> jshanks24: http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/2012/announcements/leadership-elections/
[11:23] <wrst> not as cold as predicted, its 10
[11:23] <wrst> how about you?
[11:23] <netritious> ew whee that's cold!
[11:23] <netritious> yeah, freezing here
[11:23] <wrst> I think tonight supposed to drop below 0 again
[11:24] <wrst> we had about 3-5" of snow
[11:24] <wrst> or I should say 3-5" of "flurries"
[11:25] <netritious> egad, not as cold here.... 31
[11:25] <netritious> with wind chill later today temps are supposed to drop :/
[11:26] <wrst> but on the loco stuff I hate to say it in here I'm not for sure its hardly worth the effort, I think ubuntu is becoming much less community oriented anyway
[11:26] <netritious> for me it was less about ubuntu and more about community
[11:26] <Unit193> Temp: 7 F (-14 C) ~ light snow ~ Windchill: -9 F (-23 C) ~ Humidity: 84%
[11:26] <Unit193> :D
[11:27] <netritious> wow Unit193, guess I'm living like it's Florida :)
[11:27] <Unit193> wrst: I still maintain the Xubuntu community is good!
[11:27] <Unit193> (And by extension, what little Ubuntustuio community there is)
[11:27] <wrst> Unit193: that's all well and good but Ubuntu proper is garbage as far as their concern for community
[11:28] <netritious> wrst: rarely do I recall anyone talking about ubuntu at a local meetup.
[11:28] <Unit193> wrst: Depends, factions are good, factions are bad.
[11:28] <netritious> *I recall ubuntu only being mentioned in passing, not as the focus of the meetup
[11:28] <wrst> Unit193: I have a CLA you can sign!
[11:28] <Unit193> NTY. :D
[11:29] <wrst> Unit193: that kills community at a much higher level and makes locos useless
[11:29] <wrst> that being said this is a good group of people :)
[11:29] <wrst> netritious: what was the purpose then? :)
[11:30] <netritious> mostly wrst, except that guy Unit193...idk what his deal is
[11:30] <netritious> :D
[11:30] <wrst> ha ha
[11:30] <netritious> wrst: the purpose of the meetups? to commune with each other?
[11:31] <wrst> but really the hoops required just to become Ubuntu blessed loco were nuts especially for a group like this with so much geogrophy to cover
[11:31] <wrst> they were obviously thinking of urban areas and not of locations like ours
[11:31] <wrst> netritious: so you communed but just not about ubuntu :)
[12:51] <Svpernova09> There is a login for the host if someone needs access :D
[12:51] <Svpernova09> I log in and make sure it's updated when i do the rounds with the rest of my WP sites
[13:09] <netritious> wrst: well yes and no...ubuntu was talked about, but wasn't really the focus of discussion, at least not what I can recall.
[13:10] <netritious> hey Svpernova09
[15:56] <netritious> anyone use pfsense?
[15:56] <netritious> besides me
[17:31] <wrst> netritious: I have thought about using pfsense :)
[17:31] <wrst> so that doesn't really qualify ;)
[20:23] <jshanks24> What are the benefits of being an "Ubuntu Community" official or not vs setting up an independent community that follows its own rules?
[20:23] <jshanks24> Just thinking outside the box here
[21:46] <Juzzy> b/c ubuntu has clout
[21:46] <Juzzy> and random other community does not
[23:11] <wrst> jshanks24: in reality we dont get presed cds or a banner thing for tech show type things
[23:11] <Unit193> Stash.
[23:12] <wrst> i think in community terms ubuntu is getting less relavent as far as true community goes, but it is no doubt the big dog still
[23:12] <wrst> Unit193: exactly
[23:14] <wrst> and i am admittedly a little not on team ubuntu exactly like i was at one time
[23:14] <Unit193> ^ is just cranky.
[23:14] <wrst> i do hope they do well but...
[23:14] <wrst> Unit193: yes
[23:15] <wrst> i think i may grow a neckbeard and start moaning on mailing list about mundane things no one cares about :)
[23:15] <netritious> ha
[23:16] <netritious> i thought everyone did that wrst
[23:17] <Unit193> No, I'm hip and new, I output to IRC (just not here, dangit, ubuntulog_.)
[23:18] <wrst> ha ha netritious
