| BobJonkman | genii suggests having simul-parties so we communicate on IRC and video | 00:29 |
| BobJonkman | I'm explaining that Release Parties are social events for me, but they can also be installfests or educational events | 00:32 |
| BobJonkman | We're talking about the direction of ubuntu, and what we're running on our own desktops | 00:34 |
| aruna_ | Katherine do u have a webcam and mic+headset dear | 00:34 |
| aruna_ | Please feel free to ask away everyone here is friendly and helpful | 00:35 |

| aruna_ | we have to do some thing about that :) | 00:36 |
| katherineB | Yeah. I know. Yeech! | 00:36 |

| katherineB | A job that pays enough to live on is what will free me! | 00:37 |
| aruna_ | join the club hun | 00:37 |
| aruna_ | have faith | 00:37 |
| aruna_ | never lose faith or give up | 00:38 |
| katherineB | Faith is taking a long time to do any good. | 00:38 |
| BobJonkman | Talking about the other events... | 00:38 |
| BobJonkman | John says he's running CrunchBang on an old laptop, wiht low resources | 00:39 |
| BobJonkman | I didn't know #! was an Ubuntu Derivative | 00:39 |
| BobJonkman | bregma and John are swapping stories about the EEE PC and the pre-formatted SSD drive | 00:40 |
| BobJonkman | John mentions Bohdi Linux | 00:41 |
| bregma | it's just an SD card, not an SSD | 00:41 |
| BobJonkman | Pedro has Bohdi on an tiny old computer | 00:41 |
| bregma | the system was read-only with a unionfs overlay, so you could never actually delete any files and eventually you'd run out of disk space and need to reformat | 00:42 |
| bregma | and the keyboards were so cheap the keys always fell off when my kids used the machines | 00:42 |
| dougdastew1 | try now I just left | 00:43 |
| dougdastew1 | try now | 00:44 |
| genii | BobJonkman: Tenant came down to my office complaining of wino in the driveway, had to go wake him up and send him on his way | 00:46 |
| BobJonkman | #topic Other Stuff | 00:47 |

| BobJonkman | Ubuntu presence on Social Media channels like StatusNet, Twitter, Facebook, &c | 00:51 |
| BobJonkman | I've got some of it covered on StatusNet: http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/ubuntuca | 00:52 |
| CrankyOldBugger | is that what I said?? | 00:52 |
| BobJonkman | and http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/ubuntu | 00:52 |
| BobJonkman | CrankyOldBugger will look after Google Plus announcements, &c. | 00:53 |
| BobJonkman | https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/103177632744805958694 is the Ubuntu Canada LoCo community | 00:53 |
| BobJonkman | John mentions Sunflower filemanager, worth looking at | 00:54 |
| BobJonkman | It's a graphical FM. | 00:54 |
| BobJonkman | Arunu asks can I handle IRC and Video together? | 00:58 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, but I think people on IRC are losing out on a lot of the conversation | 00:58 |
| aruna_ | That was my concern as well | 00:59 |
| BobJonkman | Should we do video chat again? | 01:00 |
| BobJonkman | Consensus, yes. | 01:00 |
| CrankyOldBugger | I hear music.. | 01:00 |
| genii | CrankyOldBugger: Aruna's phone :) | 01:01 |
| BobJonkman | Bregma say Hangouts on Air solve part of that problem by letting more than 10 people participate by viewing only | 01:01 |
| BobJonkman | So next time I'll try that | 01:01 |
| aruna_ | Sorry I had to take the call it's my son from Sri lanka | 01:02 |
| genii | Well, good night and we will hopefully "see" each other again soon | 01:02 |
| CrankyOldBugger | good night everybody | 01:02 |
| BobJonkman | Also, I'd likt to try running in a community area like Kwartzlab where we can participate as a group, allowing people without video access to participate | 01:03 |
| katherineB | That would be nice. | 01:04 |
| BobJonkman | For February's meeting we can try Hangouts On Air, and I'll ask Darcy about using Kwartzlab. | 01:06 |
| BobJonkman | Perhaps azend can see about using Diyode.. | 01:07 |
| BobJonkman | Anyway, that about finishes off the night. The video chat has shut down, and if nobody has anything else we can end the meeting | 01:07 |

| katherineB | Bye BobJonkman! | 01:08 |
| BobJonkman | Bye katherineB! | 01:09 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman: so? how did you video meeting work out? good turn out? technically ok? | 04:42 |
| BobJonkman | Hi zykotick9! | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | hey | 04:43 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, great turnout, technically good | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | that's good! | 04:43 |
| BobJonkman | Seems there's a limit on Hangout participants, so we had a lineup of people wanting to get in | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | wow! | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | sounds like an excellent turnout then! | 04:43 |
| BobJonkman | Oh, and you should hook up with Pedro ___ from Ottawa, who's looking for any signs of a tech community there. | 04:44 |
| BobJonkman | Hang on, I'll see if I can find his last name | 04:44 |
| BobJonkman | You're not on Google , are you? | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | nope | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | i'm google free! | 04:45 |
| BobJonkman | Hmm. I feel so tainted by tonight's experience | 04:46 |
| BobJonkman | Anyway, Pedro joined us about halfway through | 04:46 |
| zykotick9 | does Pedro frequent IRC? | 04:47 |
| BobJonkman | I'll ask him to check out IRC when I see him online | 04:47 |
| zykotick9 | cool | 04:47 |
| BobJonkman | No, I don't think he's on IRC | 04:47 |
| zykotick9 | :( | 04:47 |
| BobJonkman | He said he works in a tech environment, where I gathered using Ubuntu is the norm | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | well, i'm glad your video meeting went well! take care. | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | nice! lucky him! | 04:48 |
| BobJonkman | But he said that when he leaves the office there's no sign of any tech community. | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | (not that ubuntu would be my 1st choice, but still) | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | there is OCLUG, but i haven't been in a LONG while - they've moved meeting locations even... | 04:49 |
| BobJonkman | What's your distro of choice? | 04:49 |
| zykotick9 | right now, it's ubuntu based - Trisquel | 04:49 |
| zykotick9 | freedom FTW | 04:49 |
| BobJonkman | Oh, right! I remember setting something up for that :) | 04:49 |
| zykotick9 | i've been using Debian "main" only for the last couple of years (since squeeze was released) | 04:50 |
| zykotick9 | you did! thanks again. | 04:50 |
| BobJonkman | I've got a partition set aside for Debian Testing, but haven't populated it yet. | 04:50 |
| BobJonkman | "Something for Trisquel" http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/trisquel for those folks in the IRC audience | 04:51 |
| BobJonkman | Is Trisquel a rolling distro? | 04:51 |
| zykotick9 | testing isn't bad, but i was ALL about stability, so for me "stable" was where it was at. now, freedom is my #1 priority (that has been my take-away, from the entire snowden/nsa thing) | 04:51 |
| zykotick9 | trisquel is the same as ubuntu-lts ;) with the non-free stuff removed. | 04:51 |
| zykotick9 | they only do LTS releases now. | 04:52 |
| zykotick9 | trisquel has a VERY small developer base, no where near the quality of debian :(.. | 04:52 |
| BobJonkman | Using Trisquel felt good. | 04:53 |
| zykotick9 | anyways, i'm glad the video meeting went well for ubuntu-ca/you! | 04:53 |
| BobJonkman | I never had it on my computer, but I set it up for someone else. | 04:53 |
| zykotick9 | it does "feel good" :) | 04:53 |
| BobJonkman | Thanx! We'll do it again next month, this time with Google Hangouts On Air | 04:54 |
| BobJonkman | bregma says that lets other people watch without participating, effectively removing the 10 person cap | 04:54 |
| * zykotick9 doesn't know what "GH On Air" even is... but seeing as it's google, wouldn't touch it with a 30 foot pole | 04:54 | |
| BobJonkman | It records the hangout session on YouTube, and live-streams it too. | 04:55 |
| zykotick9 | neat | 04:55 |
| zykotick9 | hope you're surviving this COLD ok... i assume your weather can't be radically different from here. | 04:56 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, I got sucked into this Google deal because I felt obligated to go where the people are. Seems to have been a good choice, considering today's participation numbers | 04:56 |
| BobJonkman | Gnomepanel Weather Applet says -19 now. | 04:57 |
| BobJonkman | Was -20 earlier, so summer must be near | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | while, i'm sure, it's the best "technical" solution... the google-factor is very distastful | 04:57 |
| BobJonkman | We've got an inline (tankless) water heater that froze up. Seems the exhaust pipe doesn't just let the gas out, it also lets the cold in | 04:58 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, the Google Hangout was actually the best quality solution we tried. | 04:59 |
| zykotick9 | eeek. that's not good. well, stay warm! | 04:59 |
| BobJonkman | There was also https://chatb.org/#ubuntu-ca (WebRTC), Jitsi, TInychat, OpenMeeting, maybe some others. genii helped a lot, as did belkinsa from the Ohio team | 04:59 |
| zykotick9 | thanks again for !trisquel group. glad your meeting went so well! cya on GS or IRC soon i'm sure. | 05:00 |
| BobJonkman | OK, goodnight and !tzaf, zykotick9 | 05:01 |
| zykotick9 | ;) | 05:01 |
| aruna_ | BobJonkman: Check your PM please | 05:05 |
| BobJonkman | Done. Too many chat windows open. | 05:05 |
| BobJonkman | There's at least three different IRC servers, XMPP, StatusNet... | 05:06 |
