[19:06] <mhall119> I can see and hear you, yes
[19:07] <belkinsa> Who's that?
[19:07] <mhall119> wow, terrible audio right now
[19:08] <balloons> please remember to mute when you join :-)
[19:09] <akshmakov> Is there a way to join the live feed?
[19:10] <balloons> akshmakov, yes, https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYcFtx5JI_M3JMuvM3WT51UkHAtwWFYLLpYeIUVNGeF5AKiebw
[19:10] <akshmakov> nvm found the hangout
[19:10] <akshmakov> thank you
[19:10] <balloons> yw
[19:15] <belkinsa> amjjawad, thanks for this session.  We need this.
[19:17] <mhall119> +1 what belkinsa said
[19:17] <philipballew> +1 from here as well
[19:17] <belkinsa> Perhaps this could (the video) go somewhere where many people can see this or maybe a edited one.  Maybe on community.com?
[19:18] <belkinsa> community.ubuntu.com*
[19:18] <balloons> belkinsa, jumping into work items already.. I like it :-0
[19:18] <belkinsa> xD
[19:18] <mhall119> belkinsa: that's a good idea
[19:18] <belkinsa> And maybe the written form of the basic steps too.
[19:20] <mhall119> QUESTION: a lot of users have only a limited amount of time to get involved, what are some small or low-committment ways for them to get involved?
[19:21] <ahoneybun> mhall119: I find that people can come and go in documentation just to fix a few typo here and there
[19:22] <elfy> and testing - not enough testing going on :)
[19:22] <mhall119> ahoneybun: I kind of wanted to get that on the video, for when it's on community.u.c :)
[19:22] <ahoneybun> was not sure if I should unute myself or not
[19:23] <balloons> ahoneybun, feel free to unmute to speak :-)
[19:23] <balloons> ahh.. kind of loud ;-)
[19:23] <ahoneybun> yea
[19:23] <belkinsa> ahoneybun, please use headphones with a mic
[19:23] <ahoneybun> not sure if it is the rain or something else
[19:23] <mhall119> ahoneybun: maybe not
[19:23] <ahoneybun> maybe the tv lol
[19:24] <belkinsa> It's the TV, I thinl
[19:24] <balloons> ahoneybun, no worries.. just type it out if needed
[19:24] <mhall119> ahoneybun: do you have a microphone plugged into the TV's speakers?
[19:24] <balloons> mhall119, hehe
[19:24] <ahoneybun> no computer cam with mic, I had the tv on
[19:25] <belkinsa> mhall119, stupid question, how to get the header that some people have on the Hangout?
[19:25] <YoBoY> belkinsa, hangout toolbox
[19:26] <belkinsa> Ah, I see.
[19:26] <mhall119> belkinsa: it's in the "Hangout Toolbox" app, called "Lower Third"
[19:26] <mhall119> belkinsa: the Ubuntu organge is #dd4814
[19:27] <mhall119> here's one for balloons: How can a non-technical person help test new code/features that are being added to utopic?
[19:28] <belkinsa> You forgot QUESTION. ;)
[19:28] <ahoneybun> sure hope I don't lose power
[19:29] <belkinsa> QUESTION from mhall119> here's one for balloons: How can a non-technical person help test new code/features that are being added to utopic?
[19:30] <mhall119> belkinsa: it's pretty bad for me to forget that, since I'm telling others to do it multiple times today :)
[19:31] <belkinsa> Same, it will get to me too.:0
[19:33] <belkinsa> God, I don't have enough power to Hangout for some reason...
[19:33] <Letozaf_> If you have not a lot of time, testing an ISO is a quick thing to do, just pop in when you got time and test it
[19:33] <elfy> Letozaf_: +1 to that
[19:34] <ahoneybun> I just  froze
[19:34] <ahoneybun> back
[19:34] <Letozaf_> elfy :)
[19:34] <akshmakov> I would like to add that askubuntu.com is another community resource worth contributing to
[19:35] <belkinsa> I agree also is that link on the community.ubuntu.com?
[19:35] <akshmakov> yes, I believe so
[19:35] <belkinsa> Thanks.
[19:35] <elfy> all the support options are on communiyt.ubuntu.com I believe
[19:38] <ahoneybun> amjjawad: I can say that Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 installed very well on my macbook 2007
[19:38] <amjjawad> ahoneybun: :D yay
[19:38] <amjjawad> great to know that :D
[19:39] <dshimer> I heard a presentation by jcastro with regard to how useful it can be just to go through askubuntu and improve or comment on unclear, poorly worded, or grammatically incorrect questions. (wish that talk was available on an archive somewhere but that one wasn't recorded).  I also think there is value in just converting and supporting a friend, one a
[19:39] <dshimer> t a time or going into places like discourse.ubuntu.com and trying to offere compelling thoughts in a polite way.
[19:39] <ahoneybun> amjjawad: no special set up on my end
[19:39] <balloons> dshimer, very well said
[19:40] <balloons> simply being vocal and active is a great way to contribute
[19:40] <elfy> usually :p
[19:41] <balloons> elfy, well ,don't be a troll eh?
[19:41] <elfy> too true
[19:41] <belkinsa> Maybe because there is no marketing team that is doesn't deal with that?
[19:42] <belkinsa> The Ubuntu marketing team
[19:43] <belkinsa> Bah, too many people killed me
[19:45] <balloons> time is coming close.. we should think of work items in a few
[19:45] <belkinsa> We have three on the pad now
[19:46] <balloons> d'oh..
[19:46]  * balloons hasn't looked at the pad.. page got closed :(
[19:49] <dshimer> We often get caught up in how cool the technical stuff is, but it is amazing how little help most non-technical converts really need.  I totally agree with how much fun it is to convert someone who just doesn't care about desktops, default apps, and the command line.  It very often just comes down to "How do I ____?" then off they go.
[19:50]  * belkinsa likes this session
[19:50]  * elfy did too 
[19:50] <belkinsa> My most favorite for today
[19:50]  * elfy should have more time next 3 months - will join properly next time
[19:52] <akshmakov> @dshimer the issue that I've run into is relatively recent issues with windows 8.1 and ubuntu not playing along
[19:52] <belkinsa> Is because of the Sercure Boot?
[19:52] <akshmakov> UEFI
[19:52] <belkinsa> Thank you.
[19:52] <ahoneybun> I felt really great when I help reboot the dead Kubuntu Documentation
[19:52] <ahoneybun> *helped
[19:53] <belkinsa> There is a wiki page on the Ubuntu Community Help wiki that can help
[19:53] <belkinsa> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ahoneybun
[19:53] <belkinsa> akshmakov***
[19:53] <dshimer> @akshmakov Seems like I read more and more like that.  Thankfully to date the 5 families I have switched has been a matter of "fixing" an older Windows computer.
[19:53] <ahoneybun> darn
[19:53] <mhall119> balloons: you can just pause the video :-P
[19:54] <akshmakov> Perhaps a more hardware agnostic distribution model, focusing on VM/cloud images vs live cd and dual boot
[19:54] <elfy> thanks people - useful session :)
[19:54] <ahoneybun> akshmakov: as I have told belkinsa I have had pretty good results with UEFI on my lenovo ideapad y510p once I turned off secure boot off
[19:54] <mhall119> thank you amjjawad for running this session, it was a great addition to UOS
[19:55] <belkinsa> Thanks amjjawad.  This rocked
[19:55] <mhall119> belkinsa: amjjawad: could one of you provide a text summary of the video to post on community.u.c?
[19:55] <akshmakov> @ahoneybun UEFI plays well with ubuntu, this is a windows bootloader issue
[19:56] <akshmakov> Thank you for the session, I'm happy I got to meet some of you
[19:56] <YoBoY> thank for this session
[19:56] <balloons> thanks everyone.. it's very nice to see and hear from you
[19:57] <amjjawad> I hope I didn't messed up :D
[19:57] <ahoneybun> my first UOS!
[19:57] <balloons> I hope you feel the same joy I feel in hanging out with all of you :-)
[19:57] <ahoneybun> amjjawad: you did great!
[19:57] <balloons> it's refreshing
[19:57] <amjjawad> ahoneybun: thanks a lot
[19:57] <amjjawad> it is always great to do a hangout with all of you guys :D
[19:57] <belkinsa> ahoneybun, are you hosting the Kubuntu Doc session along with who ever is goiing to do the Hangout?
[19:58] <ahoneybun> amjjawad: I'm going to try to help out tim with packaging again
[19:58] <amjjawad> ahoneybun: that is great to hear :D
[19:58] <ahoneybun> belkinsa: Guess I am, not sure who is able to join from the kubuntu team though
[19:59] <belkinsa> Some one PMed me earlier today, so I think two will join in.
[20:00] <amjjawad> thanks everyone for the great feedback
[20:00] <amjjawad> sorry, didn't thank you by name but thanks goes to all of you really
[20:00] <amjjawad> I enjoyed chatting and seeing you :D
[20:01] <amjjawad> belkinsa: our session will be after 2 days :D
[21:29] <belkinsa> mhall119, just a thought, since Ali forgot to talk about LoCo's and how people who want to get into the Community.  You think we need directions on how people can go the LoCo route along with Ali's video/text?
[22:33] <mhall119> belkinsa: it would certainly help
