| ronswift | Ok, let's get started. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ronswift | How many participated in this weekend's bugjam | 00:00 |
| ronswift | I did the iso test and tested the kernel, firefox and nautilus. It was fun | 00:02 |
| ronswift | and I might add pretty straightforward | 00:02 |
| ronswift | I know of at least one other Ubuntu-md loco team member that participated. | 00:03 |
| pronto | i did not; didn't even know about it | 00:04 |
| ronswift | We will see if we can get more participants for the next release, 14.10 | 00:04 |
| ronswift | I sent out a number of emails on the Ubuntu-MD mailing lists along with BaltoLug and Opensource-md lists | 00:05 |
| ronswift | We need for you to join the mailing list which you can do via a link on the website, www.ubuntu-maryland.org | 00:06 |
| ronswift | The only issue that I encountered with the bugjam test was the iso install hung once it finished and I tried to reboot. | 00:07 |
| ronswift | Any questions on the bugjam | 00:08 |
| ronswift | Ok, next subject is our upcoming open house on Apr 26 | 00:09 |
| ronswift | This will be a combination release party and install fest. | 00:10 |
| ronswift | We need everyone to help promote it and we are expecting a good turnout | 00:11 |
| ronswift | Please download a flyer from the website. | 00:11 |
| ronswift | We also need volunteers | 00:12 |
| pronto | nice; how many folks tend to show up to the installs? | 00:12 |
| ronswift | This is the first one that we have done in some time. | 00:12 |
| pronto | the one i was at years ago had a good number of people show; want to say around 20 or so | 00:12 |
| pronto | ah | 00:12 |
| ronswift | The community college is promoting it in their classes. | 00:13 |
| ronswift | I think we will have at least 20. | 00:13 |
| pronto | HCC? | 00:13 |
| ronswift | It is also being promoted at Hopkins | 00:13 |
| ronswift | No Community College Baltimore County | 00:14 |
| pronto | ah | 00:14 |
| ronswift | That is where we meet on the 4th Sat of every month | 00:14 |
| ronswift | We will provide free Ubuntu 14.04 DVD | 00:15 |
| ronswift | There will also be thumb drives for a small fee $4 for 4mb drives | 00:16 |
| ronswift | We will also have some older versions of ubuntu or lubuntu with xfce for older laptops | 00:16 |
| ronswift | I sent out a sample release form for everyone's input. | 00:17 |
| ronswift | It would be nice if you could promote the event at HCC and Howard County library | 00:18 |
| ronswift | Questions | 00:18 |
| ronswift | openyost have you been able to follow the discussion | 00:19 |
| openyost | Yeah after I got in on the webpage. Empathy was being empathy... | 00:20 |
| ronswift | ok | 00:20 |
| ronswift | Questions | 00:20 |
| ronswift | comments or other topics | 00:21 |
| ronswift | Xchat works pretty well | 00:21 |
| openyost | The release form looks pretty good. | 00:22 |
| ronswift | We meet on irc the 1st Mon of each month and we meet at CCBC the 4th Sat of the month | 00:22 |
| ronswift | Thanks, I just pulled it off the internet and it is available for use with no copyright issues | 00:23 |
| ronswift | welcome mike_o | 00:23 |
| mike_o | Hey | 00:24 |
| ronswift | We need to ensure that everyone signs a release before we touch their laptop | 00:24 |
| ronswift | How many of you are planning to attend the open house/install fest | 00:25 |
| mike_o | I'm planning to attend | 00:25 |
| ronswift | anyone else | 00:26 |
| ronswift | Even if you can not attend you can help us by promoting it. | 00:26 |
| ronswift | We can accomodate as many as 50 people in the lab and adjacent area | 00:27 |
| ronswift | questions... | 00:27 |
| mike_o | What was the decision about CDs vs USB drives? | 00:28 |
| mike_o | Was someone able to get microcenter to help out? | 00:28 |
| ronswift | Free DVD and we will charge $4 for usb thumb drives which is our cost | 00:28 |
| mike_o | Sounds good. What about variants of Ubuntu like Xubuntu? Are we planning to bring installers for those? | 00:29 |
| ronswift | Yes, that is where we are getting the $4 4mb drives. We are buying about 10 | 00:29 |
| ronswift | Xubuntu 14.04 and older versions along with unity based 32 bit and 64 bit | 00:30 |
| mike_o | Good idea. | 00:30 |
| ronswift | Lubuntu I should have said | 00:31 |
| lattera | ronswift: you said you needed volunteers? | 00:31 |
| ronswift | yes | 00:31 |
| ronswift | the more the better | 00:31 |
| lattera | what do you need them doing? | 00:31 |
| lattera | I might be able to swing by for a bit during the open house | 00:32 |
| lattera | it'd be my first time, heh | 00:32 |
| ronswift | helping persons load the software on their systems | 00:32 |
| mike_o | I can volunteer for that | 00:32 |
| ronswift | Please join us. Live CD will be used initially and we want to make sure that the hardware is working before installing | 00:33 |
| ronswift | So one on one's with our guest | 00:33 |
| lattera | I could prolly help with that | 00:34 |
| ronswift | great | 00:34 |
| ronswift | If you are not on the mailing list please join it. That is by primary way of communicating | 00:35 |
| lattera | I am, that's how I knew about this irc chan, heh | 00:35 |
| ronswift | Outstanding | 00:35 |
| ronswift | More questions... | 00:35 |
| lattera | pardon my newbishness, but is there a better list of features than http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/03/7-ubuntu-14-04-lts-improvements-youll-love | 00:35 |
| ronswift | I need to research that. I am not familiar with the link you mentioned | 00:36 |
| ronswift | lattera what OS are you using now | 00:37 |
| lattera | ronswift: osx on the laptop, fbsd on everything else :) | 00:40 |
| lattera | but I develop on pretty much any and all OSs | 00:40 |
| lattera | solaris, linux, fbsd, nbsd, windows, etc. | 00:40 |
| lattera | I'm one of the core devlopers of clamav | 00:41 |
| ronswift | ok, sounds like you are more than a newbee | 00:41 |
| ronswift | I like clamav we use it on our Ubuntu servers | 00:42 |
| ronswift | Hopefully we can meet at the open house. | 00:43 |
| lattera | well, we're all newbs | 00:43 |
| ronswift | Correct... | 00:43 |
| ronswift | There were several people that I responded to that were having problems connecting | 00:44 |
| ronswift | Any other questions | 00:44 |
| lattera | does ubuntu support dualbooting with an encrypted osx volume on a macbook pro? | 00:44 |
| lattera | maybe I should take that question to #ubuntu rather than here | 00:46 |
| ronswift | I don't know. But please ask that on the mailing list. I know of a couple people that are running Ubuntu on Macs but I don't know if they are dual booting | 00:46 |
| ronswift | on an encrypted osx volume | 00:46 |
| ronswift | any one else online one to answer that question | 00:47 |
| ronswift | wants | 00:47 |
| ronswift | other questions ideas or comments | 00:48 |
| jsuter | ronswift, apologies for not keeping in contact with you since we talked at the meeting last month. Regarding the flash drives, I talked to my guy at microcenter and he said they don't do promotions/discounts of any sort, regardless of if it's a $50 order or a $10,000 order | 00:48 |
| jsuter | He said microcenter corporate might be able to do something, but I kinda doubt it | 00:48 |
| ronswift | ok I will just get 5 to 10 of the 4 mb ones | 00:49 |
| jsuter | Sounds good. I was looking though, and is 4 GB enough or would 8GB be needed? I saw the requirements for an install were something like 5.9GB, but that was an older ubuntu version | 00:50 |
| ronswift | There regular price is pretty good at $4 | 00:50 |
| jsuter | Yeah | 00:50 |
| ronswift | No 4 gb is fine | 00:50 |
| mike_o | The image is about 900mb | 00:50 |
| mike_o | After install its closer to 6gb | 00:50 |
| jsuter | Okay. As for wifi, I talked to Jeremy and he said that the netadmins are really picky about rogue wifi networks and that he's had an admin come after him within 5 minutes of a WAP being set up. A single guest user/pass from helpdesk should be fine being shared, and he can get that for us if needed | 00:51 |
| ronswift | I have not had any problems with the 4 gb drives. The DVD are only 1.4 gb and they work fine | 00:52 |
| jsuter | If we still wanted our own WAP it'd have to be isolated from the CCBC network, which could work I suppose but would make testing connectivity tricky (other than hitting the WAP's webpage) | 00:52 |
| ronswift | Ok let's just get a guest account | 00:53 |
| jsuter | Okay I'll send him a message now to let him know | 00:54 |
| ronswift | and hopefully we can also use it at future meetings | 00:54 |
| ronswift | How many from your class do you anticipate will attend | 00:54 |
| jsuter | I'd estimate probably 10 or so but I can get a better idea by the end of the week. Today was the last day for students to withdraw from classes so a couple I expected to go ended up dropping | 00:57 |
| jsuter | I can get a number from Bryan as well if needed | 00:58 |
| ronswift | ok, thanks | 00:59 |
| ronswift | We may have some Hopkins students attend. I will reach out to UMBC | 00:59 |
| jsuter | Great | 01:00 |
| ronswift | But we need to heavily promote it... | 01:00 |
| ronswift | Ok, any other questions or comments | 01:02 |
| ronswift | The flyers for the open house is on the website | 01:02 |
| jsuter | None here. Messages sent to Jeremy and Bryan | 01:03 |
| jsuter | I've got to eat dinner but I'll keep irc open for when I get back. Need to get a personal irc bouncer back up and running again... | 01:03 |
| ronswift | Ok, we are going to close the session. Watch the mailing lists for more events details. | 01:04 |
| ronswift | Thanks everyone for joining us tonight | 01:04 |
| ronswift | Bye | 01:04 |
| ronswift | quit: | 01:07 |
