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