| rww | nhaines: AtomicSpark (IRC nick, active now) wants details about that installfest thing and is thinking of (read: I told him to) volunteering. You should PM him :D | 04:15 |
|---|---|---|
| rww | oh, he joined right as I said that | 04:16 |
| nhaines | yay | 04:27 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: so basically OCLUG is having an installfest on May 24th. And we need installers. :) | 04:27 |
| nhaines | For the installfest, we're only promoting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Anyone who comes in and asks for something else will get it, but otherwise they get Ubuntu. | 04:28 |
| AtomicSpark | nhaines: I am on the wiki/website currently. Where is this located? | 04:29 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: nowhere, although I do need to get it up on the wiki. | 04:32 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: this is going to be updated soon: http://www.oclug.org/installfest.html | 04:32 |
| darthrobot | Title: [OCLUG Installfest] | 04:32 |
| AtomicSpark | nhaines: What happens if, I don't have a portable pc anymore and just an android tablet? :p | 04:33 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: then you have to come and help. :P | 04:33 |
| toddc | nhaines: use drive droid to install LINUX from a tablet | 04:43 |
| toddc | ERR AtomicSpark sorry | 04:44 |
| arrith | pleia2: ping. sorry i haven't followed super closely about bkerensa goings-on; is there an installfest? or there might be one? (for LTS 14.04 release party celebration nacho slam extravaganza) | 04:44 |
| arrith | presented by pepsi(r) | 04:44 |
| philipballew | ohh action in the channel! | 04:46 |
| arrith | approaching cage-match-level actionnn | 04:48 |
| arrith | philipballew: are you going to the 14.04 sf parttyy?! | 04:48 |
| rww | arrith: last I heard it was in SF but not at Mozilla because we got a sponsor elsewhere before we heard back from Moz, but not 100% | 04:49 |
| rww | s/$/on whether that's correct | 04:49 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: anyway, installfests are pretty simple, but we definitely need a few more people. If you've never done one before, I can show you the ropes. | 04:50 |
| arrith | "confirmed our release party at AdRoll " was said earlier | 04:50 |
| nhaines | And we have an OCLUG meeting in April, so you can come in and see the location if you'd like. | 04:50 |
| arrith | not sure if it's too late to move from there to mozilla, or vice versa | 04:51 |
| nhaines | I'm planning to give a short presentation next month. | 04:51 |
| arrith | wonder if bkerensa works at moz | 04:51 |
| philipballew | arrith, Sure, if I had the money for a plane ticket. | 04:51 |
| arrith | philipballew: you're not in us-ca? | 04:52 |
| philipballew | arrith, Yes I am. | 04:52 |
| nhaines | arrith: California is the size of a small country. | 04:52 |
| philipballew | nhaines, +1 | 04:52 |
| arrith | well the installfest isn't for a few days. :P | 04:52 |
| arrith | also $1 bus | 04:52 |
| philipballew | arrith, California is not just the bay, despite what they all claim there. | 04:52 |
| philipballew | arrith, No. | 04:52 |
| arrith | No. | 04:52 |
| philipballew | There is no one dollar bus to sf from there I live. | 04:53 |
| arrith | oh | 04:53 |
| rww | We don't claim it's all just the bay, that would break our complaining about y'all stealing our water. | 04:53 |
| philipballew | You get all your power from dams towards Nevada to. | 04:54 |
| philipballew | arrith, Where do you live? | 04:54 |
| arrith | philipballew: east bay, walnut creek area | 04:54 |
| philipballew | arrith, Oh cool. I was just in Fairfield last week. | 04:55 |
| arrith | ah nice. i'm actually super geographically challenged to the point that i have to google map all these cities on job postings to see if i'm actually okay with their commute | 04:55 |
| arrith | philipballew: what's tying you to not-the-bay? | 04:55 |
| philipballew | arrith, My friends, and school, and life. | 04:56 |
| arrith | philipballew: ah, so not much then :P | 04:56 |
| arrith | dang well | 04:56 |
| philipballew | arrith, I actually really like where I live. | 04:56 |
| arrith | hope you have an LTS party there. for the holiday spirit | 04:56 |
| arrith | that's good | 04:56 |
| * rww ponders recruiting for Ingress | 04:57 | |
| philipballew | arrith, Planning on it actually. Probably more low key then yours up there, but were a more low key people down here. | 04:57 |
| philipballew | arrith, where you you from? | 04:57 |
| arrith | born n raised east bay. sometimes worry that not going too far from where you were born is a bad sign, but i love me some SV/SF | 04:58 |
| philipballew | Nice. I was born and raised in Auburn. | 04:58 |
| arrith | ah wow, definitely norcal | 04:59 |
| arrith | rww: if you mean the mobile game, i take it that's not really a paid position :P | 04:59 |
| philipballew | Above the fog, below the snow. | 04:59 |
| philipballew | arrith, Often I have to just tell people I am from Sac though. | 05:00 |
| arrith | yeah i stick to east bay, not many people know the smaller cities/towns | 05:00 |
| philipballew | arrith, for sure. | 05:01 |

| rww | arrith: true, but it's fun! | 05:02 |
| rww | especially if you're Resistance :> | 05:02 |
| arrith | haha | 05:02 |
| philipballew | Auburn is fun if you like weed, or dirt bikes. | 05:02 |
| philipballew | Were the Reddest county in the state also. | 05:03 |
| rww | anyways, back to LoCo stuff... | 05:04 |
| arrith | haha wow | 05:04 |
| arrith | uhm | 05:04 |
| rww | AtomicSpark: go to installfest thing! | 05:05 |
| arrith | installfests could use a pxe server potentially. not sure if that's been done | 05:05 |
| rww | arrith: go to release party thing! | 05:05 |
| rww | yay, I am good at my leading thing | 05:05 |
| arrith | hail the leader | 05:05 |
| philipballew | arrith, If you come to my release party, I'll give you a dollar. | 05:05 |
| philipballew | maybe two! | 05:05 |
| * AtomicSpark strokes unix beard | 05:05 | |
| rww | philipballew: you're having a release party? | 05:05 |
| philipballew | rww, Yes. | 05:05 |
| rww | philipballew: where? | 05:05 |
| arrith | philipballew: commuting for not-lots-of-money is tough for me | 05:05 |
| philipballew | either starbucks or INO rww | 05:06 |
| philipballew | probably ino. | 05:06 |
| rww | philipballew: I meant city, but okays :P | 05:06 |
| philipballew | rww, SD | 05:06 |
| arrith | i guess usb sticks are easier than router plus lots of ethernet cables | 05:06 |
| AtomicSpark | arrith: Yes. | 05:06 |
| arrith | and more people need to use stuff like 'plop' (boot cd thing that lets you then boot to usb on computers that don't boot to usb in the bios. but i guess it's closed src :( ) | 05:06 |
| AtomicSpark | Also configuring a thing. | 05:06 |
| philipballew | I got some buddies from tj coming up to help out rww so it should be good. | 05:07 |
| arrith | AtomicSpark: yeah i guess it doesn't take that much longer to write an iso to a usb stick than pxe stuff | 05:07 |
| AtomicSpark | arrith: tbh, I'd just use a CD, works for everything. | 05:07 |
| arrith | AtomicSpark: ah yeah. i actually wonder what people use the most these days | 05:07 |
| arrith | would be awesome if canonical shipped out pressed stuff | 05:07 |
| rww | philipballew: can you throw details at the mailing list this week so people can plan for it? | 05:07 |
| arrith | score me some five-finger-discounted^Wfree swag | 05:07 |
| AtomicSpark | arrith: I still use CDs. | 05:08 |
| AtomicSpark | Though, didn't Ubuntu go DVD only? | 05:08 |
| philipballew | rww, I can set up an event, but I am gonna wait till two weeks from release to start tlking about it. People will forget. | 05:08 |
| rww | arrith: they do ship pressed stuff, we had some for Southern California Linux Expo :) | 05:09 |
| philipballew | maybe even a week. | 05:09 |
| arrith | rww: LTS only i thought? | 05:09 |
| philipballew | I only install Ubuntu via luetooth these days. | 05:09 |
| rww | philipballew: mention it now /and/ we'll be sending out an email with details for all three events week before/of | 05:09 |
| philipballew | bluetooth | 05:09 |
| nhaines | AtomicSpark: they're DVDs, which, by the way, we will have shipped out by Canonical. | 05:09 |
| nhaines | Which is a thing that they do. | 05:09 |
| arrith | AtomicSpark: oh yeah, i'm doing DVD only i guess. hm, actually i don't know how many computers that show up to installfests have CD drives or not | 05:09 |
| rww | arrith: correct | 05:09 |
| rww | philipballew: that way everyone's on the same page without reading through IRC, which most don't :) | 05:10 |
| philipballew | rww, I can make an event on the loco portal thursday night. | 05:10 |
| arrith | rww: think they'll have 14.04 pressed discs for the installfest? | 05:10 |
| philipballew | Maybe Wednesday night, but I have to run to Mexico for the night so we will see how long till get back. | 05:10 |
| AtomicSpark | Remind me, does the Ubuntu installer have an option to use up-to-date packages during install? Would make pressed dvds have a longer shelf life. | 05:10 |
| rww | AtomicSpark: yes | 05:10 |
| AtomicSpark | I get paraoid about those minor releases. | 05:10 |
| philipballew | AtomicSpark, iirc, you can install updates when installing from cd | 05:10 |
| rww | arrith: ship time for pressed CDs is two weeks after release ( http://lococouncil.ubuntu.com/2014/03/13/14-04-dvdscds-pre-orders-now-open-for-verified-loco-teams/ ) | 05:11 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Loco Council | 14.04 DVDs/CDs: Pre-Orders now open for verified LoCo Teams!] | 05:11 |
| * arrith falls to knees and shouts to the sky | 05:11 | |
| jose | or what it takes to produce+ship, 2 weeks is just an estimate :) | 05:11 |
| rww | yep | 05:11 |
| rww | "not in time for installfest" was the main takeaway there | 05:11 |
| arrith | wow 150 and 25, that's not bad | 05:11 |
| philipballew | Fedora does flash drives | 05:12 |
| jose | oh :( | 05:12 |
| rww | nice | 05:12 |
| rww | wish we could, but money... | 05:12 |
| jose | when's the installfest? | 05:12 |
| jose | and customs ;) | 05:12 |
| rww | indeedy | 05:13 |
| arrith | hm | 05:13 |
| arrith | probably a way to get bulk inexpensive usb stuff. they have those paper ones even | 05:13 |
| rww | jose: don't think the LUG that's doing it made the date public yet, they're still sorting things out | 05:13 |
| philipballew | rww, Do I need to tell you or lyz I need cd's or is it assumed? | 05:13 |
| philipballew | what lug are we talking about? | 05:14 |
| jose | philipballew: a guy in SD asked me for DVDs via the loco-council ML and he said he was going to get to you | 05:14 |
| rww | philipballew: dunno, ask Lyz, she's been sorting out CD stuff I think | 05:14 |
| rww | philipballew: OCLUG. Might want to read meeting log when you get a chance :) | 05:14 |
| nhaines | Retail DVDs are cents a unit. Bulk USB keys are dollars per unit. | 05:14 |
| philipballew | jose, someone emailed me looking for ubuntu events in sd. | 05:14 |
| jose | hmm | 05:14 |
| philipballew | I am emailing him back this week. | 05:14 |
| AtomicSpark | Unless you're in Australia. | 05:14 |
| nhaines | jose: we pushed the date back a month at your suggestion. :P | 05:15 |
| jose | nhaines: you better announce the date in the channel, then? | 05:15 |
| jose | :P | 05:15 |
| philipballew | AtomicSpark, Not sure we can trust Australasia, their toilets flush the wrong way. | 05:15 |
| jose | philipballew: no, YOUR toilets flush the wrong way | 05:15 |
| rww | i don't even know what way my toilet flushes :( | 05:15 |
| nhaines | jose: I did, during the last meeting. But it's going on the wiki soon. The LUG hasn't announced the date yet. :P | 05:15 |
| arrith | that can only be settled with thermonuclear war | 05:16 |
| philipballew | I have a friend who went to Kenya and they flush down with no swirl when you are right on the equator. | 05:16 |
| philipballew | arrith, si. | 05:16 |
| AtomicSpark | philipballew: Thats because of design flaw, not gravity. | 05:16 |
| AtomicSpark | rww: clockwise. | 05:16 |
| philipballew | AtomicSpark, clocks are overrated. I prefer the sun. | 05:16 |

| philipballew | AtomicSpark, Wanna go to the down under with me? | 05:18 |
| philipballew | Lets go right now! | 05:18 |
| arrith | australian food is probably pretty good | 05:18 |
| philipballew | I actually wanna go to Perth. I let this dude I met on the internet sleep on my loor for a week who lives there. | 05:19 |
| arrith | they should have more australian restaurants. there are brazillian places around the bay area but not australian, that i've seen | 05:19 |
| arrith | philipballew: oh nice, quid pro quo | 05:19 |
| philipballew | I met a guy who said he would let me crash on his cargo ship for free if I work a little bit, and work a little bit for food. | 05:19 |
| philipballew | and he said after a month I would end up in Australasia. | 05:20 |
| nhaines | That sounds like the way cargo ships work. | 05:20 |
| philipballew | nhaines, Living within walking distance from a shipping harbor/port has its advantages. | 05:20 |
| philipballew | arrith, Does the city have austrillian food? | 05:22 |
| rww | what is australian food | 05:22 |
| arrith | philipballew: i'm not sure. haven't looked. taht sounds good though | 05:22 |
| rww | kangaroo? | 05:22 |
| nhaines | rww: crisps and boiled meats. | 05:22 |
| * philipballew just had a California burrito. | 05:23 | |
| philipballew | ^ jose | 05:23 |
| jose | philipballew: I hate hate hate you | 05:24 |
| jose | I've been wanting a burrito since I left the US :( | 05:24 |
| philipballew | jose, so I should avoid tweeting about all the tacos I eat tomorrow in Tijuana? | 05:25 |
| nhaines | jose: you can always make one. :) | 05:25 |
| philipballew | jose, o, y mucho cervesa. | 05:25 |
| jose | philipballew: tacos are fine, burritos aren't | 05:25 |
| philipballew | burritos are bomb | 05:25 |
| jose | nhaines: still don't know how to make those awesome ones I had in SD | 05:25 |
| arrith | rww: mayybe | 05:25 |
| jose | philipballew: beer, well, I'm <18 fyi | 05:25 |
| arrith | you can import stuff | 05:25 |
| philipballew | jose, TIL Peru has a drinking age | 05:26 |
| arrith | this like one famous halal cart thing in NY i went to once is so good i keep thinking of paying some courier to pack one in ice and ship it to me. it'd be like $50 though and i can't justify that price | 05:26 |
| arrith | peru the land of the lawless has no laws! | 05:26 |
| nhaines | jose: tortilla, refried beans, maybe some rice, shredded cheese, guacamole.... meat-based protein as desired.... It's probably a pretty simple formula. :) | 05:26 |
| arrith | chipotles are opening up everywhere now. probably will be one nearby soon | 05:27 |
| arrith | order from their site and send an intern to get it | 05:27 |
| philipballew | nhaines, Carne asada, queso, salsa, french fries. | 05:27 |
| nhaines | I would totally get the Döner Kebab place in Germany to throw one in a styrofoam container with dry ice and fly it over here. | 05:27 |
| arrith | don't let the intern get anything for themselves. they have to learn discipline | 05:27 |
| arrith | nhaines: $50! | 05:27 |
| jose | arrith: we do have a law that allows us to have up to 20 llamas in our backyard | 05:28 |
| philipballew | nhaines, I was in Germany last month and had a really good one of those. | 05:28 |
| nhaines | arrith: deal if I can buy it with bitcoin! | 05:28 |
| philipballew | they were the shit | 05:28 |
| arrith | nhaines: not when btc goes x50 in value | 05:28 |
| philipballew | Im gonna visit a bitcoin atm this weekend in my area. | 05:28 |
| nhaines | arrith: I'm only buying it now though. | 05:28 |
| arrith | Recent incidents have brought the currency under new regulatory scrutiny, such as the failure of Mt. Gox, a Tokyo-based exchange that filed for bankruptcy after losing an estimated $650 million worth of customer bitcoins. | 05:29 |

| nhaines | philipballew: yes. | 05:30 |
| arrith | verifying that they're legit is another thing though | 05:30 |
| arrith | localbitcoins has a whole deal using text messages to confirm transfer of btc | 05:31 |
| arrith | not sure if it actually escrows | 05:31 |
| nhaines | arrith: it can escrow, yes. | 05:31 |
| philipballew | nhaines, interessant | 05:31 |

| philipballew | "Siri print me some money" | 05:32 |
| nhaines | I'm really happy that I agreed to update the OCLUG installfest page with the installfest date but it doesn't actually have one. | 05:36 |
| nhaines | It's like free work. | 05:36 |

| pleia2 | arrith: we won't be doing an installfest at the party, the party will just be a gathering to learn about the new release and eat pizza for a couple hours, an installfest requires a lot more time and volunteers | 16:43 |
| pleia2 | I won't do an installfest for less than 5 hours these days, there are always installation issues and we get stuck staying forever, not something for a thursday night :) | 16:44 |
| pleia2 | as for DVD shipping, we'll do the same as we've done in the past, when they arrive I'll email the list and ask which regions need them, ie: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2012-October/002054.html | 16:45 |

| bkerensa | we have beverages and some snacks on site | 17:13 |
| bkerensa | depending on when it is we could probably order pizzas too | 17:13 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I'll let you know if adroll doesn't work out :) | 17:13 |
| bkerensa | for the installfest | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | oh good | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | I need to convince someone to run it, I'm way too overbooked | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | I know that feeling | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | I can attend, but coordinating another event.. :\ | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | how do you reverse the overbooked feeling? | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | learn how to say "no" :) | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | let me know how that goes | 17:14 |
