belkinsaBefore I start, I believe we have some news from skellat.23:03
belkinsaI'm turning it over to skellat for the news.23:04
skellatMy superiors at the Internal Revenue Service have informed me that my services are no longer required and that I will be placed on furlough as from the Close of Business on June 27th.  I will be able to play a much more active role in the community's life during furlough.23:04
skellatThis will be especially the case as I won't be missing from 0530 to 1915 daily between work hours and round-trip commute to the work site after next Friday23:06
skellatBack to you, belkinsa23:06
belkinsaAlright.23:06
belkinsa Beth Lynn Eicher one of the OLF organizers sent an e-mail to skellat, Unit193, jrgifford, and me saying that they are offering a table for free for the UbuCOn on Oct 24, 2014.  Since they are offering this, I think we need to plan for this and see if we can do this with inside and outside the LoCo help.23:08
belkinsaAnd our topics for this meeting are from that e-mail.23:09
skellatbelkinsa: We got downgraded from a room to a table?23:10
belkinsaYes.  But I didn't remember saying anything about a room.23:10
belkinsaNo, space.  Sorry.23:11
belkinsa"> I am reaching out to you to see if there was interest from the Ohio23:12
belkinsa> Ubuntu LoCo in participating in the Ohio LinuxFest. We are prepared to23:12
belkinsa> gift the space to you, gratis, on the Friday of the conference:23:12
belkinsa> October 24, 2014."23:12
Unit193Biggest issue will be getting talks lined up.23:12
belkinsaSo, I don't know as of yet what it is.23:12
* skellat wipes sweat from his brow after worrying that OLF was having yet more money problems23:12

skellatOkay...as to space, we got a conference room type area at the convention center in Columbus23:13
skellatSeats about 100 people23:13
belkinsaUnit193, yeah, I forgot about the talks but that is Oct 25, right?23:13
skellatLotsa chairs, space at the front to speak...and nothing said by OLF about A/V equipment yet again23:14
skellatUbuCon always falls on a FRIDAY23:14
belkinsaAlright23:14
skellatSo it would fall on October 24th23:14
belkinsaAh, I see now.23:14
belkinsaThis will be my first one.23:14

belkinsaThat's the third item for this meeting23:15
jrgiffordyup23:16
belkinsaBut the first is will we commit to this.23:16
jrgifford(sorry, i'm late)23:16
skellatIt is okay23:16
belkinsaIt's cool.23:16
jrgiffordwell, we can only commit if we have speakers23:16
belkinsaRight.23:16
jrgiffordor at least a idea of what we're going to want to have presented23:16
belkinsaWould be too late if we get some speakers from the other LoCo's within USA?23:17
skellatbelkinsa: Not really23:17
skellatThe now-leader of Colorado spoke at UbuCon last year23:17
belkinsaPerfect, we need to live up that LoCo contacts list anyways.23:17
skellatCould also ask if Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph is available from California team23:18
belkinsaShe said that she can't/23:18
skellatI see you're exercising your initiative.  Excellent.23:18

belkinsaAlright.23:19
belkinsa#ACTION Make a call for speakers for OLF 2014 on LoCo Contact ML23:19
Unit193Well Darkwing still idles here, means he must at least half like us. ;)23:19
belkinsabelkinsa's action Item23:19
belkinsaDidn't he say that he will in the last meeting?23:20
* skellat casually reminds belkinsa that that the meeting bot isn't here and that minutes have to be kept manually :-)23:21
belkinsaI know.23:21
belkinsaI was in two meetings where the bot was missing.23:21
drkokandythat community computing session was really interesting, as well as the session by Jorge Castro23:21
belkinsaIt's a habit.23:21
drkokandyI'm trying to remember what was Friday and what was Saturday23:22
skellatdrkokandy: Friday was me playing showman, Saturday was me handing out business cards23:22
skellatSaturday was also iced tea from $GOOG23:22
drkokandythat doesn't really help me remember what day featured which speakers :)23:22
belkinsaThere is a list message with the audio link to them...23:23
drkokandyHere's a list23:24
drkokandyhttps://archive.org/details/OhioLinuxfest201323:24
jenni[ Ohio LinuxFest 2013 : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive ] - https://j.mp/UZS3wM23:24
belkinsaThanks23:24
drkokandyThe roundtable was good, although I feel like we could have gotten more people involved23:25
skellatThe roundtable was me improvising23:25
drkokandyI was a little late, so I came in in the middle of Why Ubuntu23:25
drkokandythe BIOS/UEFI session was really informative, I remember23:25
skellatOne of the scheduled presentations went way too short so the roundtable was me doing improvisation to keep things going23:25
belkinsaAt what time was this on that day?23:26
drkokandyAh, that's right23:26
skellatRight after lunch23:26
Unit193Keysigning on Friday too?23:26
belkinsaSo a full day.  Okay, thanks.23:26
skellatI only ended up signing one key...drkokandy's23:27
skellatI did the Friday planning in hour blocks23:27
Unit193Well, it may be moot anywho. :)23:28
skellatUnit193: What may be moot?23:28
skellatOh23:30
skellatYou're being subtle23:30
skellatRemember, I work for the Treasury and not any entity based at Fort Meade23:31
belkinsaSo...moving on?23:31
skellatOLF made their request of what they want as a session but what else do we want to show about *buntu?23:32
belkinsaDo you argee to hold some desktop basic content? If needed, we can provide the speakers for this component.   Here is one23:32
Unit193Thinking something short about flavors would be nice.23:33
belkinsaMaybe Ubuntu Touch runing a emi on the desktop?23:33
belkinsaUnit193, +123:33
* skellat notes that leadership of USA locos is shifting to Xubuntu users increasingly23:34
Unit193You, pleia, not sure who else.23:35
skellatPossibly soon to be Nebraska23:35
skellatThere's a forced Change of Contact proceeding before LoCo Council right now23:35
belkinsaSo, flavours and Ubuntu Touch and it's core apps?23:35
belkinsaDoes it all have to be about the desktop?  Can there something about the Community>23:36
skellatFocus on the tech the first hour, Communitize The Community afterwards23:37
Unit193Or servers, or whatever.23:37
belkinsaThat could work.23:37
belkinsaI have an idea for a Community based speech.23:37
skellatCanonical may or may not have appointed a new Community Manager by then too so as to replace Jono Bacon23:39
belkinsaYeah, plus he said that he wasn't able to make it.23:40
belkinsaI asked him in one of is Q&A sessions.23:41
skellatbelkinsa: Did you ask anybody at FSF?  Is paultag able to represent the Sunlight Foundation to talk about the F/LOSS stuff they do?23:41
belkinsaNo, who are they?23:41
belkinsaFSF ^^^23:41
skellatFSF: Free Software Foundation23:41
skellatRichard M. Stallman's people23:42
belkinsaAh, no.  Good idea though.23:42
Unit193We could sneak a Debian talk in...23:45
skellatI was thinking about the FSF campaign recently over "E-mail Self Defense" that might be worthwhile to bring up again23:45
belkinsaSure.23:46
belkinsaIt seems  that we can do the UbuCon after all if everything works.23:47
belkinsaAnd we can move to this over to the mailing list.23:49
Unit193paultag: Going to OLF right?23:49
belkinsaUnit193, it's Saturday, it's his day off.23:50
belkinsa;)23:50
