[00:07] <BobJonkman1> Cranky_ sez we have two viewers, but they're not on the video

[00:07] <Cranky_> it says we have 4 viewers so far, but I'm only seeing myself on the screen.  no audio

[00:07] <BobJonkman1> Anyway, we can start with Introductions in the IRC channel while Cranky_ adds people to the Video
[00:07] <BobJonkman1> #topic Introductions
[00:08] <BobJonkman1> Hi! I'm Bob Jonkman, from Elmira, Ontario. I'm one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada, and a Free Software enthusiast
[00:08] <Cranky2> try this link for fun:  https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYfZW-k14E6xxDhm5_PPDFOTe-uy-SEEt4Fn9MvpKy9uLSvpFQ
[00:09] <Cranky_> I can see Bob...
[00:09] <BobJonkman1> I'm getting a notice that my microphne is hardware muted.
[00:09] <BobJonkman1> Not so.
[00:10] <BobJonkman1> My lips are moving, but no sound is coming out
[00:10] <BobJonkman1> That sounds a lot better. Say Hi, Cranky
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> Who else do we have?
[00:12] <BobJonkman1> Say Hi, tell us where you're from and what you dowith Ubuntu
[00:12]  * BobJonkman1 is looking for an external microphone
[00:13] <bregma> Hi!  I'm Stephen M. Webb, an engineering manager at Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, I live near Perth, Ontario
[00:13] <BobJonkman1> ...and that's not Perth County :)
[00:13] <bregma> nope, it's the other Perth
[00:14] <BobJonkman1> Well, this meeting seems to be sparsely attended :(
[00:15] <bregma> only the quality folks here today
[00:16] <BobJonkman1> :)
[00:16] <katherineb> Hi from Waterloo!
[00:16] <BobJonkman1> I'm trying to find another microphone
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> Lets move on the next agenda item
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> #topic Events
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> #subtopic Past Events
[00:17] <BobJonkman1> I was at the Open Data Hackathon last weekend
[00:18] <BobJonkman1> Great fun! I didnt do any coding, but took pictures and video.
[00:18] <katherineb> Me too.  I really enjoyed it.
[00:18] <BobJonkman1> You can see the page with links to the media at http://wiki.opendataday.org/Waterloo_Region
[00:18] <BobJonkman1> Hi katherineb !
[00:19] <BobJonkman1> Tell us what you worked on
[00:19] <katherineb> Hi Bob!  I worked on an HTML page with javascript about police call data
[00:20] <Cranky_> Anyone who is in the Google+ group who didn't get an invite, raise your hands, please
[00:21] <BobJonkman1> Darcy (dscassel) was there too, working on the Food Premise Inspection Data, getting info on New Restaurants so it could generate notifications
[00:22] <bregma> 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] <Cranky_> Unity 7 is coming with 14.04?
[00:22] <BobJonkman1> bregma: I recently found your Ubuntu blog too!
[00:22] <BobJonkman1> Gotta link for us?
[00:22] <bregma> uh ih....
[00:23] <bregma> http://bregmatter.wordpress.com/
[00:23] <BobJonkman1> That's the one! Catchy name!
[00:24] <bregma> although I think I'm the only one here who uses Unity
[00:24]  * BobJonkman1 is not a fan of Unity
[00:24] <Cranky_> I love it..
[00:25] <BobJonkman1> OK, moving on to more recent stuff
[00:25] <BobJonkman1> #subtopic Ongoing events
[00:25] <BobJonkman1> We had a pleasant Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener a couple of weeks ago
[00:25] <BobJonkman1> And azend_ had one in Guelph last week.
[00:26] <BobJonkman1> Aruna (who can't be with us tonight) is planning one for the near future in Toronto
[00:26] <BobJonkman1> And I've already scheduled the next Ubuntu Hour KW for Monday, 17 March
[00:27] <Cranky_> St. Patrick's Day?
[00:27] <BobJonkman1> It's St. Patricks Day, so I joke we're going to Thanh O'Nguyen's Vietnamese restaurant
[00:28] <Cranky_> well the Irish pubs will be a bit full
[00:28] <Cranky_> as will the Irish
[00:28] <BobJonkman1> "Tony" makes a mean Vietnamese Green Curry dish
[00:28] <BobJonkman1> #subtopic Upcoming events!
[00:29] <BobJonkman1> Lots of stuff on the horizon, what with an upcoming release and all
[00:30] <BobJonkman1> Apparently we have sound
[00:31] <Cranky_> I can hear Bob
[00:32] <Cranky_> if anyone wants a direct invite, send me your email.
[00:32]  * BobJonkman1 has just recapped the events for the Video chat
[00:35] <BobJonkman1> Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS is coming out on 17 April
[00:35] <BobJonkman1> genii has a release party in Toronto on the 17th,
[00:35] <BobJonkman1> with free cupcakes and coffee
[00:36] <BobJonkman1> (but you have to decorate your own cupcake)
[00:36] <katherineb> That could be fun!
[00:37] <BobJonkman1> Next week is the Ubuntu Developer Week, followed by Ubuntu Developer Summit the week after.
[00:37] <BobJonkman1> bregma: Can you shed any insight on those events?
[00:38] <bregma> sorry, I've been too tied up in the last couple of weeks to pay attention to those events
[00:38] <BobJonkman1> Google+ video page, for refence: https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s
[00:39] <bregma> I suspect it will involve a lot of discussions about phones and apps for phones
[00:39] <BobJonkman1> What news on phone hardware?
[00:41] <bregma> Mark Shuttleworth announces two OEMs (phone manufacturers)  will be selling Ubuntu phones, probably by the end of this year
[00:41] <BobJonkman1> Ubuntu Global Jam is also coming up.
[00:41] <BobJonkman1> Last year we had a great time at Computer Recycling.
[00:42] <BobJonkman1> I hope to get Charles McColm chaslinux to host again this year
[00:42] <BobJonkman1> Or maybe dscassel can get us Kwartzlab again
[00:43] <BobJonkman1> There's an opportunity to fix bugs, install the new release, discover new bugs, write some documentation
[00:43] <BobJonkman1> And it's another excuse for an Ubuntu Social Event
[00:43]  * BobJonkman1 and katherineb are such party animals
[00:44] <BobJonkman1> After UGJ I hope to have a release party here in KW as well.
[00:44] <BobJonkman1> dscassel promised!
[00:45] <cagordon> missed it?
[00:45] <Cranky_> I'm thinking of doing another wipe and load when 14.04 comes out, I might bring my laptop with me
[00:45] <BobJonkman1> cagordon: Nope, we're still going.
[00:45] <BobJonkman1> Join us in the Video Chat at https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s if you've got the Googles
[00:46] <BobJonkman1> I was thinking of holding the April IRC meeting on Release Day
[00:47] <BobJonkman1> So we should be able to catch the Toronto gang as they gearing up for their release party
[00:47] <BobJonkman1> Although last year it was a bit hectic having an IRC meeting in the middle of a party
[00:50] <BobJonkman1> After the release there is something called Ubuntu Open Week
[00:50] <BobJonkman1> a series of classroom events
[00:51] <BobJonkman1> I think they're being held on Google Hangouts, but there may still be a backchannel on IRC.
[00:51] <BobJonkman1> The IRC channel tends to suffer from lack of attention in Ubuntu Open Week.
[00:52] <BobJonkman1> I can tell you, it's difficult to focus your attention in two places at once
[00:52] <BobJonkman1> #link Ubuntu Open Week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek
[00:52] <BobJonkman1> But I don't think it's updated for the new release yet
[00:53] <BobJonkman1> Jono Bacon had a blog post about it: http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/12/05/ubuntu-events-coming-up/
[00:55] <BobJonkman1> Anybody on Facebook?
[00:56] <BobJonkman1> 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] <BobJonkman1> It might nice to have an Ubuntu Canada Twitter feed too.
[00:57] <BobJonkman1> I'll if anything like that exists already.
[00:57] <BobJonkman1> Oh, I guess that should have gone into "Other Stuff"
[00:57] <BobJonkman1> #topic Other Stuff
[00:57] <BobJonkman1> Any other Other Stuff?
[00:57] <katherineb> Does Ubuntu Canada have a facebook account?
[00:57] <Cranky_> the colour coding on my new headphones is backwards...
[00:57] <BobJonkman1> katherineb: I don't know...
[00:58] <BobJonkman1> katherineb: Are you on Facebook?
[00:58] <Cranky_> https://www.facebook.com/groups/482867065100815/?fref=ts
[00:58] <katherineb> No and I don't want to sign up but might consider volunteering if I was just using an organizational account
[00:59] <BobJonkman1> katherineb: I think Facebook wants people accounts, not organization accounts
[00:59] <BobJonkman1> So once you're in as a person you can set up a page for an organization
[01:00] <BobJonkman1> katherineb: If you want to create an account as firstname=Ubuntu lastname=Canada I have no objections
[01:00] <Cranky_> I take that back.. this is the correct page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2212705657/?fref=ts
[01:00] <katherineb> I guess not then.  I don't want to be on facebook myself
[01:01] <Cranky_> the first one I listed is mis-using the ubuntu name for who knows what end
[01:01] <BobJonkman1> 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] <BobJonkman1> Alrighty then, probably time to wrap it up
[01:02] <BobJonkman1> Any last words from anyone?
[01:03] <BobJonkman1> Next IRC/Video Chat will be on Thursday, 27 March at the usual time
[01:03] <BobJonkman1> I think we'll have the kinks worked out of the video by then
[01:03] <BobJonkman1> 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] <BobJonkman1> OK, goodnight everybodeee!
[01:04] <katherineb> Good night !
[01:04] <Cranky_> goodnight everybody

[01:25] <azend_> gah
[01:25] <azend_> missed another one
[01:25] <azend_> I have an excuse! My mother's car broke down and needed to be limped to the doctor
[01:26] <azend_> I ended up being a support vehicle
[01:28] <BobJonkman1> New movie: "Azend, my life as a Support Vehicle"
[01:28] <Cranky_> 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] <BobJonkman1> Cranky_: That was fast!
[01:31] <Cranky_> sometimes I can actually make it look like I know what I'm doing...  sometimes!
