Michelle_oh, I should pay attention.00:25
mhall119#topic Ubuntu 14.04 Release Party00:25
mhall119so we're just over a month away from the release of Ubuntu 14.04 \o/00:25
mhall119we haven't had a release party in years00:25
Nothing_Muchwoo!00:25
Michelle_::cough:: and Qimo ::cough::00:25
mhall119it's time to fix that00:25
mhall119we were thinking about finding a space in Orlando to host a proper, team-wide party00:26
Nothing_MuchOrlando sounds nice00:26
Michelle_I'd like to try and get a rough estimate of how many we might actually have show up for a party00:27
Michelle_supposing we host in orlando somewhere.00:27
Michelle_release day is April 17th, and so I'm looking at a release party either April 19th, or the 26th00:29
Nothing_MuchThis is gonna be a fairly big release, so I'm enthusiastic00:29
mhall119I'm going to bring my Nexus 4 and 2012 Nexus 7 with Ubuntu on both if people want to try them out first-hand00:29
Nothing_MuchI think maybe the 26th would be good (for me at least, unsure about anybody else)00:29
Michelle_we're also hoping to debut at least a beta of Qimo 3.0, as well. 00:29
mhall119that too00:29
Michelle_I'm also inclined to go with the 26th, out of personal preference.00:30
balloonsI would show up, provided it's not further away than Orlando, should be easy. I'll note I would rather see it in a smaller city on the coast, but I'm not an Orlando fan, so :-)00:30
mhall119#subtopic Qimo 3.0 is going to happen, based on Ubuntu 14.0400:30
mhall119balloons: I'm not either, but it's a pretty central place00:30
balloonsyes, can't argue much with that00:30
mhall119Tampa is further for itnet700:30
mhall119I'm not sure it makes a difference to the Miami guys00:31
balloonsI mean like jupiter fl or melbourne or something00:31
mhall119that's quite a bit further for you though isn't it?00:31
balloonswhich is technically farther for me yes00:31
mhall119and you'd have to go through Orlando to get there00:31
balloonsI can avoid it :-) but anyways00:32
Michelle_balloons: maybe we can move things around the state for the next party. 00:32
balloons19th or 26th I think works.. let me verify00:32
mhall119balloons: would the Kissimmee area be easier for you?00:32
Michelle_mhall119: I was leaning more Kissimmee-area than DT Orlando. 00:32
Michelle_probably going to be easier to find hosting space.00:32
* mhall119 would prefer that00:32
balloonsas far as easier? Probably Deland is the easiest suburb of Orlando for me00:33
balloonseverything else is probably the same.. I would be coming from the NW00:33
balloonsthe host however gets to decide :-) One of the nice things about coordinating00:34
Michelle_Deland might be a reasonable option too.  I'll look around and see what I can find - considering the time crunch.00:34
Nothing_Muchoh goodness, Kissimmee is an hour away from Deltona00:34
Michelle_Nothing_Much: Doable, or no?00:34
mhall119Nothing_Much: yeah, but only like 30 miles :)00:34
mhall119it's going through Orlando in I4 that takes so long00:35
Nothing_Muchnot where I'm from, to kissimmee is 53.9 miles00:35
Nothing_Muchaway00:35
mhall119ok, we'll start looking for venue options00:36
mhall119and email the team with what we find00:36
Michelle_I'll send out some options when I have some on hand.00:36
Nothing_Muchso not very doable for me if it takes an hour for that00:36
Nothing_Muchan hour to get there*00:36
mhall119Nothing_Much: but east-side of Orlando would be do-able for you?00:36
mhall119Deland area?00:36
Michelle_Can we get a poll set up, mhall119 ?00:36
Michelle_survey monkey or something?00:37
mhall119yeah, as long as people respond quickly00:37
Michelle_Can you make that a todo?00:37
mhall119sure, what cities do we want on there?00:37
Nothing_MuchDeland would be best for me, takes me about 15-20 min to get there00:37
Nothing_Muchbut orlando would be good too, looks like 36 minutes00:38
Michelle_I'll focus on the Deland/east Orlando area, and see what I can come up with.00:38
mhall119ok00:38
mhall119any other questions/suggestions on release party?00:39
Michelle_wish govatent was here tonight. 00:39
mhall119me too, and itnet700:39
mhall119but I'll email the list so they see00:39
Michelle_OK, so watch your mailing list, folks. 00:39
mhall119aside from me bringing a phone and tablet running Ubuntu, anything we should plan on *doing* during the event?00:39
Michelle_eat?00:40
Michelle_priorities, you know00:40
balloonseat is a given of course :-)00:40
balloonsdepends if folks want something like informal talks? or perhaps games are more fun?00:41
Michelle_heh, game night.  ;) 00:41
mhall119do we want a venue where we can buy food, or one where we can bring in pizzas or something?00:41
Michelle_mhall119: depends on what I can get for community funding.  I'd rather bring in, if possible.00:41
Michelle_Puts less stress on budgets for folks.00:42
Michelle_The other alternative would be to have people meet in Orlando and carpool into our house, mhall119, and host here.00:43
mhall119ok, I'm going to setup an event without a venue for now, so we cna see how many people want to attend00:43
balloonspanera lets you book private rooms for free I believe, could be an option. Not sure what other types of places you were thinking00:44
Michelle_balloons: yeah, they're on my list to look at.  00:45
Michelle_ok, mhall119, let's start with this, and go from there.00:45
mhall119alright, here's the event: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-florida/2737-ubuntu-1404-release-party/00:46
Nothing_Muchwhat game?00:46
Nothing_Mucho.o00:46
mhall119Nothing_Much: something child-friendly, I have a fun card game though00:46
mhall119balloons: I've got that "We didn't play test this at all" game that popey had at our sprint00:46
Nothing_Muchoh I thought you meant a sorta cross platform game00:46
Nothing_Muchbecause I have the perfect one00:46
Nothing_Muchwhich is really good for LAN games00:46
Michelle_which one, Nothing_Much ?00:46
Nothing_MuchBitfighter, cross platform and Linux friendly00:47
mhall119Nothing_Much: getting a working LAN at a venue might be too difficult00:47
Nothing_Muchand child friendly00:47
Nothing_Muchoh okay00:47
Michelle_If I can swing it, I wouldn't be opposed, but it'll depend on getting a LAN.00:47
balloonsmhall119, that could be quite fun. I have some german style board games, and some more interesting stuff as well. I think I'd rather keep it light, cards games, etc00:47
Nothing_Muchohh, physical games was what you were talking about00:48
Nothing_Muchmy bad00:48
mhall119yeah, there's not even a guarantee we'll have power outlets, depending on the venue00:48
Michelle_mhall119: I can get "We didn't play test this either" to go with it, too.00:48
mhall119ok, I'll email the list with the location options and the link to the event page00:49
Nothing_Muchdon't libraries have computers though?00:49
mhall119if you guys can all register at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-florida/2737-ubuntu-1404-release-party/ so we can start getting an idea of how many people we need to accomodate00:49
mhall119Nothing_Much: yeah, but what we cna do with them is going to be restricted00:49
mhall119when we've had meetups at libraries before, we got a separate room without computers00:49
mhall119you can invite/bring along people from outside the team too00:50
mhall119anybody who might be interested in attending an Ubuntu release party00:50
balloonsI don't have a gaming capable laptop, plus it's nice to be off the pc :-)00:50
Nothing_MuchThere's a portable release you can put on a USB drive on Windows and I *think* Linux as well00:50
Michelle_Let's sort that out when we get some sort of idea of venue, and go from there.  :) 00:51
Nothing_Muchmhall119: How do I say that I'm attending?00:51
Nothing_MuchMichelle_: sure00:51
mhall119Nothing_Much: there should be a "Register" button on the right side of the page00:51
Nothing_Muchah I see it00:52
mhall119ok, anything more on the topic of release parties?00:53
Nothing_Muchenthusiasm!00:53
mhall119+1 :)00:54
mhall119#topic App Developer Schools00:54
mhall119so we at Canonical have been working hard to build up our app development platform00:54
mhall119part of that is teaching how to write apps for Ubuntu phone and desktop00:54
mhall119we've created a "course" that can be taught either in person or online, and if anybody on the team is interested I'd be happy to lead one for us00:55
mhall119http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2677/ has information about what it is00:55
mhall119since it can be done online, I can do it anytime people are available, we don't need a physical meetup00:56
mhall119I might even be able to talk balloons into teaching how to write tests for apps :)00:56
Nothing_Muchwhoa, cool00:56
Nothing_Muchthough I'm not a developer so I can't really teach that kind of stuff00:57
mhall119Nothing_Much: I would be the one teaching00:58
mhall119if there is interest from anyone in the team in learning it00:58
Nothing_Muchoh!00:59
Nothing_Muchwhat kind of development stuff is it? does it work well for newbies wanting to program or do you have to have some sort of experience?00:59
mhall119Nothing_Much: it should be newbie friendly01:00
mhall119if it's not, our course material needs to be improved :)01:00
mhall119part of this would be me test-driving the material before we get other loco teams to start using it01:00
Nothing_Muchis that during the party or a course during the summer?01:01
mhall119Nothing_Much: separate from the party01:01
mhall119it would be a one-day thing, maybe a couple of hours at most01:01
Nothing_Muchohh, okay so that means it's once per year or is that like a test run to see how well it catches on or something?01:02
mhall119Nothing_Much: it can be anytime, as many times as people want01:02
balloonsI imagine we could run it again, but I'm guessing you want to do it once this cycle and see how it goes?01:02
mhall119yeah, ultimately we want to get a lot of instructors all over the world working with this material01:03
mhall119but for our team, specifically, I can run one as often as there's a desire for one01:03
Nothing_MuchI'm looking at the slideshow, looks like I need an Ubuntu Phone..01:04
mhall119Nothing_Much: you don't necessarily, apps will run on the Ubuntu desktop, and we have a phone emulator too01:04
Nothing_Muchoh right01:04
Nothing_Muchduh01:04
Nothing_Muchlol01:04
Nothing_Muchso the goal is to get schools to pick this up?01:05
mhall119no, just local enthusiasts01:05
Nothing_Muchohh, sorry about the confusion01:06
mhall119it's okay01:06
mhall119we can discuss this more on the mailing list01:06

DammitJimman, next time I should put my irc on bbl12:33
DammitJimlooks like there was a productive meeting last night12:33
DammitJimwhat does one call a server that sits between production and test18:44
DammitJimits purpose is to hold files that are moved from one environment to it and then fetched by the other18:44
DammitJimI guess it's like a staging server18:44
DammitJimAcheron18:47
mhall119DammitJim: staging is what I usually call it19:56
mhall119or "production-like environment"19:57
DammitJimI ended up calling it Charon20:36
DammitJimI was just informed that this server won't hold any files, but will be the one moving stuff from one machine to another20:36
DammitJimCharon was the guy that took people from one side to the other of the river in the underworld :D20:36
mhall119heh, I like it21:09
