joeyI was just looking at all those pictures!19:37
joeyI seem to be well behind the times19:38
system76chickI've been busy busy19:42
system76chickI can't get any attachments uploaded to the wiki though :(19:43
GarheadeWell, system76chick is here, all we need is ian and we can start social media court19:45
=== Garheade is now known as JudgeGar
system76chickLoL, Ian won't be joining us today. He's doing an onsite repair in Loveland19:45
JudgeGarUgh... Icky day to be driving long distance.19:46
=== JudgeGar is now known as Garheade
system76chickWe had a great time laughing about that all day in the office.19:46
GarheadeIt was entertaining.19:47
GarheadeI was trying to get Ian to clean your desk for you.19:49
system76chickI ended up cleaning my desk that day. I did get dinner out of it though!19:49
GarheadeWell, theres that.19:50
system76chickThank you for joining the Colorado Ubuntu Team meeting today! I wanted to reach out to everyone and see if anyone wanted to contribute to or volunteer for or add to any of the proposed Team Roadmap items listed on our meeting agenda. I can go through some of the items and see who can volunteer.20:01
Cheri703that was weird20:01
system76chicksilly quassel...20:02
GarheadeIt might help to go through the list or a link to it20:02
TonyNoOnePossibly. I would need to dig up the roadmap again to review.20:02
TonyNoOneI would certainly be interested in taking a more active role.20:02
deciousis there a link to the roadmap?20:03
system76chick1. Post photos and events on the team Wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColoradoTeam20:03
system76chickhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-co/768/detail/20:03
system76chickAgenda: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-co/768/detail/20:03
GarheadeThank you20:03
TonyNoOneI don't have the chops yet to contribute on a tech level but, I would be down for "outreach" and what not.20:05
TonyNoOneThe Geeks Who Drink events sound fun....just need to stick with root beer, though.20:05
system76chickTonyNoOne: That's great. Root Beer is tasty! Geeks Who Drink is really fun.20:06
GarheadeI don't mean to be critical but how does GWD help spread and support ubuntu?20:06
Garheades/GWD/GHD/20:06
Garheadeer...20:06
system76chickPeople ask us about Ubuntu when we go. It's a great networking opportunity20:07
Cheri703it also helps build community among local members20:07
TonyNoOneI saw the photos of this week's event.20:07
CoreyM-DenverI am here to get familiar with this process, not sure how or if I can help just yet.20:07
TonyNoOneJust the sign alone should prompt questions.20:07
system76chickThe sign's effective and definitely drew attention to us20:08
system76chickFace Time with your local members is always good too, no matter what you're doing.20:08
TonyNoOneAgreed.20:09
system76chickCheri suggested Ubuntu hours at Panera20:09
TonyNoOneIt's good for me to practice my social skills in front of real people.20:09
system76chicklol20:09
GarheadeI ask only because, the other day, on CLUE, one person was talking about starting their own because GWD turned them off.20:09
TonyNoOneHow so?20:09
Cheri703clue?20:09
GarheadeColorado Linux Users and Enthusiasts20:09
joeyAnother idea would be to interact with the local LUGs (again) and let them know that there is a local Ubuntu community. We could offer to have some folks join their install fests for example.20:10
CoreyM-DenverI like Joey's idea20:10
system76chickI think having a variety of events in different places is great, and people can pick and choose. I like Joey's idea too20:10
TonyNoOneI would be down for that, as well!20:11
joey(another = in addition to)20:11
Cheri703What the ohio team did was to have "ReLoCos" "really/regional local communities" which held ubuntu hours in various parts of the state, just basically one person committed to being at a panera during a certain time at least once a month, and other ubuntu folks could come hang out20:11
joeythat's a catchy name!20:11
GarheadeI like the ubuntu hours idea.20:11
system76chickDoes anyone want to volunteer for hosting an Ubuntu hour in April?20:12
joeySomething else that might be effective would be to run a free ad in some of the university news papers for an upcoming release party (for example). "Hey, did you know Colorado has it's own Ubuntu Local Community team? Come join us at X to celebrate the Release of Y!"20:13
Cheri703the ideal is to eventually have a set time at least once per month so we can put it on the website/wiki and new people can go find it without having to wonder/worry if the time/schedule is up to date.20:13
joeymight be able to pull in folks that way20:13
joeywhere I'm going with this is outreach20:13
TonyNoOneI do think a monthly event is a good idea.20:13
joeyWe converted 3 or 4 schools that way to Ubuntu20:13
TonyNoOneWhether it's Ubuntu specific or...20:13
joey(sorry I'm drifting off topic a bit)20:13
TonyNoOne...if we had an Ubuntu precense at existing events.20:14
Cheri703I think both would be positive20:14
Cheri703because while yes, other linux users might have interest in ubuntu, many ubuntu users won't give any ...cares about arch or fedora or whatever else.20:15
TonyNoOneI would be willing to setup an April "Ubuntu Hour".20:15
TonyNoOneIs there a reason why it would be at Panera?20:16
system76chickTonyNoOne: That's great! No, anywhere you'd like20:16
TonyNoOneOK. I'll put that on my to do list and get it done.20:16
TonyNoOneLikely the end of tghe month, though.20:16
Cheri703generally panera was what we chose in ohio because: free wifi, lots of food/drink options that range in price, so people have choices, comfy seating20:17
TonyNoOneDid you get with the Panera folks or just descend upon them?20:17
joeyWe've done lots at Panera here over the years20:17
Cheri703if you can find somewhere else that has choices *other* than just coffee and sugary sweets, that'd be ideal. :)20:17
John___Panera wifi is limited during lunch hour to half-hour.  I think the exact hours are 11 to 1:30.20:17
joeyincluding that place FunnyLookinHat found that was not on any map20:17
TonyNoOneThere are other choices?20:17
GarheadeNormally I would step up to help but I'm traveling to North West Linux Fest end of the month.20:17
Cheri703nope, just showed up. I mean, we often didn't have more than like 6 people, so yeah20:17
Cheri703if we had like 17 people, then probably a good call to check with them20:17
TonyNoOneMakes sense.20:18
joeyif someone plans something near Longmont I'll commit to showing up20:18
system76chickIf you want to let us know a day/time/place in an email, we can add it to the wiki20:18
GarheadeYou could look at local hackespaces. Denhac Concotory Tinkermill20:18
TonyNoOneWill do.20:18
TonyNoOnejoey, I may try to set up a couple...20:18
Cheri703Yeah, volunteers all over the place! That's the idea of the really/regional (depending on who you asked) local communities. So people don't have to drive 2 hours to sit and chat20:18
TonyNoOneOne in the Denver area, one in Boulder Co.20:19
joeyGarheade: those would be good places. Mar Mar's Concotory would be terrible for my liver though20:19
TonyNoOneIf things go well, I could likely handle that a couple times a month.20:19
system76chickThat would be great20:19
TonyNoOneLike I said, I need the practice...20:20
TonyNoOne...or so my wife tells me.20:20
system76chickI think we have the Ubuntu Hours taken care of for April. Thank you TonyNoOne for volunteering.20:20
TonyNoOneNo sweat20:20
Cheri703the beauty of it is that *everyone* is at least somewhat geeky, and everyone has something in common. :)20:20
Cheri703if anyone in other place (ft collins, springs, wherever else (I am relatively new to the state, I have no concept of where stuff is)) wants to plan others, that's ok too! (just in case people figure "oh, other ones are happening elsewhere, I shouldn't plan one for my location)20:21
Cheri703*places20:21
MakyoYeah, I think a Fort Collins one would be good.  CSU is all Fedora/Windows, but it'd be good to get some exposure out there.20:22
Makyo(There's also Cohere, a coworking place in town)20:23
TonyNoOneAny examples of Ubuntu Hour topics?20:23
TonyNoOneAny format?20:23
system76chickYes, doing them everywhere is full of win! Just make sure to let the mailing list know so we can promote accordingly20:23
joeyAnother idea I had was that doing a special event to teach people how to develop apps for the Ubuntu phone (and/or Ubuntu) would be good. I don't do that myself so it couldn't be me.20:24
joeyI find that specialty events like that draw people out20:24
joeyThey don't always care for the social aspects but really want to learn something new20:24
Makyojoey, We might want to hit up jcastro about charmschool, too, if we want to get some of the enterprise side.20:24
joeyyeah20:24
TonyNoOneQt is cross platform, too, so that could draw people in.20:24
joeycharmschool, quickly, etc20:25
Cheri703topics are usually "hang out and whatever"20:25
TonyNoOneI know how to hang out AND how to whatever.20:25
Cheri703but you can expand on that as desired. :)20:25
joeyright. we need something to draw folks away from Elder Scrolls Online20:25
TonyNoOneThis will be easy!20:25
Cheri703perfect!20:25
system76chickAwesome20:26
system76chickAnother outreach idea that would be helpful is CD Distribution. I don't know when ours will arrive, but it should be before the end of the month.20:26
TonyNoOneIt may be helpful to have CDs at events for noobs and the curious.20:27
GarheadeI can take the CD's to CLUE, SFS Classes and the like but most of these people already know how to get their hands on it.20:27
system76chickIf anyone is willing to take a stack and pass them out locally, maybe at libraries or on campus, that would be great.20:27
joeyand one of those nice iMac style System76 all-in-ones20:27
Makyosystem76chick, +120:27
system76chickwe'll be sure to throw a couple of those in the stack as well Joey20:28
* joey laughs20:28
MakyoWould be nice to have them at Gophercon, too, April 24-2620:28
TonyNoOneThe only people I see are coworkers and they're all Apple fanatics.20:28
MakyoThere should be a bunch of us there.20:28
TonyNoOneAin't gettin' anywhere with 'em.20:28
MakyoMe, hatch, arosales, hazmat, six others, I think.20:28
nealmcbOh yeah - meeting now.....20:29
system76chickPlease email me Emma@system76.com directly so we can make a time and place so I can get the CDs to you.20:29
Cheri703alright folks, I have to head out but I'll read the logs when I get back.20:30
system76chickThanks for the great input, Cheri!20:30
system76chickDoes anyone want to volunteer to post on the Ubuntu Rocks Blog?20:31
John___I would be up for that or the wiki.20:32
nealmcbcds => lug20:34
joeysystem76chick: if you find someone who is good at graphic design, I think my waaaaay out of date CoLoCo logo needs to be redone. And I think it should be refreshed so we can get a shirt order going20:34
system76chickJohn__: That's fantastic!20:34
joeysystem76chick: the company that did the previous shirt order is out of business20:34
joeysystem76chick: but I have lead one another company that does great work (we used them to make our Disaster shirts)20:35
Makyojoey, system76chick we've had good luck with teespring20:35
MakyoOh, that works!20:35
system76chickI have good connections for T-shirts, but not graphic design20:35
joeyPolos20:35
joey:-)20:35
joeyNeed the collar to look professional20:35
system76chickFancy20:35
TonyNoOneProfessional? I wouldn't even know where to begin.20:36
system76chickLol20:36
system76chickwith a polo...20:36
MakyoAnd plaid shorts.20:36
joeywe could also do up a conference badge.... like the one I did for Ubuntu Hams20:36
TonyNoOne...mmmmm....I might look good in plaid shorts.20:36
MakyoHave an example, joey ?20:37
joeyscroll down to the badges  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHams20:37
joeyWhen we used to have physical UDSes we would wear these smaller badges above our conference badge20:37
joeyand people would come and ask us about it20:37
system76chickI like that idea!20:37
joeyso if you're at Plumbers or gophercon... Ubuntu people can find each other20:37
MakyoOh, awsome20:37
CoreyM-Denveri like the polo idea myself, looks much nicer, but they wont be cheap20:38
MakyoI like the badges.  Will wear my canonical/ubuntu lanyard, too.  Another good bit of swag to add recognition20:38
nealmcb...That is, I'd love some CDs to bring to a future Linux Users Group meeting (2nd Thursday at Applied Trust, with free beer and pizza, 11th and Walnut in Boulder :) http://lug.boulder.co.us/)20:38
joeythe last order was $15 a shirt.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColoradoTeam/Tshirts20:39
system76chickNeal, I will get you some once they arrive20:39
joeyI got 3 and wore them everywhere :-)20:39
MakyoOh, hey, there's a NoCo one too http://nclug.org/20:39
nealmcbsystem76chick: Thanks!20:39
TonyNoOneI, too, would certainly order a shirt.20:40
GarheadeI would order two or three shirts20:40
MakyoSeveral here, too.20:40
system76chickYes, shirts would be fantastic. Our whole office would probably sport them20:40
joeyMaybe someone could volunteer to start a new shirt page on the wiki20:41
system76chickJohn__?20:41
joeyand we could do some soft commits for numbers20:41
joeyand then finish up the design20:41
John___Sure, I could start a new shirt page.20:41
system76chickAwesome!20:41
TonyNoOneYes. Awesome indeed.20:44
system76chickTeam, we've covered a lot of ground today, I appreciate everyone's participation!20:44
joeysystem76chick: I just sent you a pic of the old shirts so you have it for reference20:44
system76chickCool, thanks20:44
TonyNoOneGlad to do it. I will use the mailing list to let you know what I come up with,20:44
system76chickGreat! If anyone else plans Ubuntu hours or Linux meetups, please let us know so we can share them!20:45
system76chickDoes anyone have any other agenda items to discuss?20:46
joeysystem76chick: I just sent you my polo supplier20:46
joey$12.75 for a polo20:47
system76chickawesome20:47
joeyit'll be a little less thick than the original ones20:47
joeybut someone can have a look and maybe select a better variety20:47
system76chickcool20:47
CoreyM-Denveri like the sounds of that20:48
joeyif folks want the conference badges, we can start a signup for that and I can go talk to Rick to see if he is willing to do it and for how much20:48
joeyWe probably will want a refreshed logo for both the polos and the badge20:48
joeyor20:49
joeysimply use the Ubuntu logo20:49
system76chickLet's send a message out to the mailing list to see if anyone can volunteer for the graphic20:49
system76chickor that idea too!20:49
joeyI have to admit I really like the logo in the flag idea but I'm biased20:49
CoreyM-Denver+1 Joey20:50
system76chickI think it's super cool... but the solid color of the Ubuntu logo is a must... it will look much better20:50
system76chickI bet I could GIMP something up20:50
joeyYep. On Ubuntu.com there are full res files of the logo that can be used as part of the process20:50
joeyhttp://design.ubuntu.com/brand20:51
=== Garheade is now known as Garheade|AFK
joeyand for the log, when we kicked off the loco team I got blanket permission to remix the logo20:52
joeyfrom Canonical20:52
joeyalthough I'm not sure I can find that email if you ask me to20:53
system76chickhaha, I'm sure it will be fine20:53
joeyI think I've added more work the plate instead of what you set out to do system76chick20:54
system76chickit's fun work :)20:54
system76chickTeam, does anyone have any other main topics to discuss? I think we have a great April ahead of us.20:55
nealmcbWhy prefer the solid color logo vs the earlier 3-color one?  I like our current logo :)20:56
system76chickI will send out a summary of our meeting and the wonderful volunteers who are taking on some team tasks. I really appreciate everyone's support!20:56
system76chickI think the colors would blend better with a single color logo20:59
nealmcbI'm no color expert (colorblind :), and imagine it would be easier to find a background to go with a single color logo.  But the symbolism of the earlier one is nice21:00
joeywell, because it's not the Ubuntu logo anymore :-)21:02
joeyit's still the circle of friends21:02
joeyalthough to old timers like me it probably is and always will be THE definitive Ubuntu logo21:03
system76chickyes, I can understand that21:03
joeyI agree with system76chick that the new logo will look better on things.21:03
joeyit certainly looks better on my things21:03
system76chickEspecially if we'll be doing T-shirts and badges21:03
nealmcbGood points  :)21:09
joeynealmcb: also, we're broncos fans21:42
joeynealmcb: orange on blue :-)21:42
Cheri703Joey, just saw the ubuntu hams link (just got back home) I have my license but no radio at this point >_< so probably not a good addition, but figured I'd mention it. :)22:14
joeyno radio!22:15
joeyYou can get a dual-bander on Amazon.com for $35!22:15
joeya lot of folks have moved to DMR (digital). Harder to program but even those are $18022:15
Cheri703huh, I hadn't checked amazon22:15
Cheri703I just have technician class22:15
Cheri703always meant to go for general, but never got around to it. last month was ...13 years? I think from when I got my license22:16
joeyhttp://smile.amazon.com/BaoFeng-Dual-Band-Improved-Stronger-Enhanced/dp/B00C83AU9S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396563374&sr=8-3&keywords=baofeng22:16
joeyand the DMR one is http://www.rmham.org/wordpress/new-dmr-portable-radio-available-for-ham-and-commercial-use22:16
joeyyou have to call to get the $180 price22:17
joeyI'm one of the 3 guys who maintains the backbone for RMHAM... and we use a mix of Ubuntu and CentOS machiens22:17
joeywell there are a few more than 3 but only us 3 have logins everywhere and fix stuff regularly22:17
Cheri703I don't even know anything about the dmr stuff22:18
Cheri703it has been a WHILE since I did anything with it22:18
joeyThere is also D-STAR and we have that here too. I run two of the boxes plus do the state health check22:19
joey(dstar.nv0n.net)22:19
joeyTech is good for everything except wanting to do HF22:19
joeysince the code requirement has been dropped a lot of folks have been able to upgrade since it's just studying a book22:20
Cheri703yeah, I just haven't prioritized it :/22:21
joeyYeah if you don't have anyone that you like talking to there is not a lot of motivation22:21
joeybut now you know me!22:21
* joey laughs22:22
Cheri703haha, true! I haven't listened in at all in CO, this was in fairly rural ohio last time I had a radio22:23
Cheri703do we know what the difference between the "5r" and "5ra" are on that amazon listing?22:23
system76chickSigning out for the day guys... Thank you so much for all your support and ideas today! Have a great night!22:35
