Headsets are recommended! [00:06] Please keep the text in the IRC channel so that it gets logged in the meeting minutes: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-ca [00:06] I could almost make that out. [00:07] Cranky_ sez we have two viewers, but they're not on the video [00:07] I think you have to add them [00:07] it says we have 4 viewers so far, but I'm only seeing myself on the screen. no audio [00:07] My Google+ ID is bobjonkman@gmail.com [00:07] Anyway, we can start with Introductions in the IRC channel while Cranky_ adds people to the Video [00:07] #topic Introductions === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Meeting on Thursday, 27 February 2014 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next | Ubuntu Canada IRC/Video Chat for 27 February 2014 Meeting | Current topic: Introductions [00:08] Hi! I'm Bob Jonkman, from Elmira, Ontario. I'm one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada, and a Free Software enthusiast [00:08] try this link for fun: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYfZW-k14E6xxDhm5_PPDFOTe-uy-SEEt4Fn9MvpKy9uLSvpFQ [00:09] I can see Bob... [00:09] I'm getting a notice that my microphne is hardware muted. [00:09] Not so. [00:10] My lips are moving, but no sound is coming out [00:10] That sounds a lot better. Say Hi, Cranky [00:12] Who else do we have? [00:12] Say Hi, tell us where you're from and what you dowith Ubuntu [00:12] * BobJonkman1 is looking for an external microphone [00:13] Hi! I'm Stephen M. Webb, an engineering manager at Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, I live near Perth, Ontario [00:13] ...and that's not Perth County :) [00:13] nope, it's the other Perth [00:14] Well, this meeting seems to be sparsely attended :( [00:15] only the quality folks here today [00:16] :) [00:16] Hi from Waterloo! [00:16] I'm trying to find another microphone [00:17] Lets move on the next agenda item [00:17] #topic Events === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Meeting on Thursday, 27 February 2014 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next | Ubuntu Canada IRC/Video Chat for 27 February 2014 Meeting | Current topic: Events [00:17] #subtopic Past Events [00:17] I was at the Open Data Hackathon last weekend [00:18] Great fun! I didnt do any coding, but took pictures and video. [00:18] Me too. I really enjoyed it. [00:18] You can see the page with links to the media at http://wiki.opendataday.org/Waterloo_Region [00:18] Hi katherineb ! [00:19] Tell us what you worked on [00:19] Hi Bob! I worked on an HTML page with javascript about police call data [00:20] Anyone who is in the Google+ group who didn't get an invite, raise your hands, please [00:21] Darcy (dscassel) was there too, working on the Food Premise Inspection Data, getting info on New Restaurants so it could generate notifications [00:22] I released a new version of Unity 7, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzFXRz-b3Ns&feature=youtu.be [00:22] * bregma is very proud of the video [00:22] Unity 7 is coming with 14.04? [00:22] bregma: I recently found your Ubuntu blog too! [00:22] Gotta link for us? [00:22] uh ih.... [00:23] http://bregmatter.wordpress.com/ [00:23] That's the one! Catchy name! [00:24] although I think I'm the only one here who uses Unity [00:24] * BobJonkman1 is not a fan of Unity [00:24] I love it.. [00:25] OK, moving on to more recent stuff [00:25] #subtopic Ongoing events [00:25] We had a pleasant Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener a couple of weeks ago [00:25] And azend_ had one in Guelph last week. [00:26] Aruna (who can't be with us tonight) is planning one for the near future in Toronto [00:26] And I've already scheduled the next Ubuntu Hour KW for Monday, 17 March [00:27] St. Patrick's Day? [00:27] It's St. Patricks Day, so I joke we're going to Thanh O'Nguyen's Vietnamese restaurant [00:28] well the Irish pubs will be a bit full [00:28] as will the Irish [00:28] "Tony" makes a mean Vietnamese Green Curry dish [00:28] #subtopic Upcoming events! [00:29] Lots of stuff on the horizon, what with an upcoming release and all [00:30] Apparently we have sound [00:31] I can hear Bob [00:32] if anyone wants a direct invite, send me your email. [00:32] * BobJonkman1 has just recapped the events for the Video chat [00:35] Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS is coming out on 17 April [00:35] genii has a release party in Toronto on the 17th, [00:35] with free cupcakes and coffee [00:36] (but you have to decorate your own cupcake) [00:36] That could be fun! [00:37] Next week is the Ubuntu Developer Week, followed by Ubuntu Developer Summit the week after. [00:37] bregma: Can you shed any insight on those events? [00:38] sorry, I've been too tied up in the last couple of weeks to pay attention to those events [00:38] Google+ video page, for refence: https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s [00:39] I suspect it will involve a lot of discussions about phones and apps for phones [00:39] What news on phone hardware? [00:41] Mark Shuttleworth announces two OEMs (phone manufacturers) will be selling Ubuntu phones, probably by the end of this year [00:41] Ubuntu Global Jam is also coming up. [00:41] Last year we had a great time at Computer Recycling. [00:42] I hope to get Charles McColm chaslinux to host again this year [00:42] Or maybe dscassel can get us Kwartzlab again [00:43] There's an opportunity to fix bugs, install the new release, discover new bugs, write some documentation [00:43] And it's another excuse for an Ubuntu Social Event [00:43] * BobJonkman1 and katherineb are such party animals [00:44] After UGJ I hope to have a release party here in KW as well. [00:44] dscassel promised! [00:45] missed it? [00:45] I'm thinking of doing another wipe and load when 14.04 comes out, I might bring my laptop with me [00:45] cagordon: Nope, we're still going. [00:45] Join us in the Video Chat at https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s if you've got the Googles [00:46] I was thinking of holding the April IRC meeting on Release Day [00:47] So we should be able to catch the Toronto gang as they gearing up for their release party [00:47] Although last year it was a bit hectic having an IRC meeting in the middle of a party [00:50] After the release there is something called Ubuntu Open Week [00:50] a series of classroom events [00:51] I think they're being held on Google Hangouts, but there may still be a backchannel on IRC. [00:51] The IRC channel tends to suffer from lack of attention in Ubuntu Open Week. [00:52] I can tell you, it's difficult to focus your attention in two places at once [00:52] #link Ubuntu Open Week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek [00:52] But I don't think it's updated for the new release yet [00:53] Jono Bacon had a blog post about it: http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/12/05/ubuntu-events-coming-up/ [00:55] Anybody on Facebook? [00:56] I'd like to get a Facebook curator for an Ubuntu Canada page so that other people have a place to get information and join the Ubuntu Canada community [00:56] It might nice to have an Ubuntu Canada Twitter feed too. [00:57] I'll if anything like that exists already. [00:57] Oh, I guess that should have gone into "Other Stuff" [00:57] #topic Other Stuff === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Meeting on Thursday, 27 February 2014 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next | Ubuntu Canada IRC/Video Chat for 27 February 2014 Meeting | Current topic: Other Stuff [00:57] Any other Other Stuff? [00:57] Does Ubuntu Canada have a facebook account? [00:57] the colour coding on my new headphones is backwards... [00:57] katherineb: I don't know... [00:58] katherineb: Are you on Facebook? [00:58] https://www.facebook.com/groups/482867065100815/?fref=ts [00:58] No and I don't want to sign up but might consider volunteering if I was just using an organizational account [00:59] katherineb: I think Facebook wants people accounts, not organization accounts [00:59] So once you're in as a person you can set up a page for an organization [01:00] katherineb: If you want to create an account as firstname=Ubuntu lastname=Canada I have no objections [01:00] I take that back.. this is the correct page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2212705657/?fref=ts [01:00] I guess not then. I don't want to be on facebook myself [01:01] the first one I listed is mis-using the ubuntu name for who knows what end [01:01] The link to the Facebook page Cranky posted can only be seen if you're logged in. So that's not for me. [01:02] Alrighty then, probably time to wrap it up [01:02] Any last words from anyone? [01:03] Next IRC/Video Chat will be on Thursday, 27 March at the usual time [01:03] I think we'll have the kinks worked out of the video by then [01:03] I've asked Jeff to start the video at 6:58pm EST so that we can adjust the rabbit ears before the meeting starts [01:04] OK, goodnight everybodeee! [01:04] Good night ! [01:04] goodnight everybody [01:04] #endmeeting === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-ca to: Ubuntu Canada LocoTeam | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam | Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | Meeting on Thursday, 27 February 2014 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next [01:04] Meeting ended Fri Feb 28 01:05:01 2014 UTC.

My mother's car broke down and needed to be limped to the doctor [01:26] I ended up being a support vehicle [01:28] New movie: "Azend, my life as a Support Vehicle" [01:28] next month try the video chat. March 27th. find us on Google+ for all the details (https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116845700584173888571/) [01:29] Cranky_: That was fast! [01:31] sometimes I can actually make it look like I know what I'm doing... sometimes!
