[21:54] Meeting in an hour! [21:55] Oh, right. jrgifford: Be alive! :P [21:56] Is everyone like not greyed out on the user's list here in this channel...weird. [22:44] Geeeeez. Russ Allbery, who is a ctte member, doesn't even like Drivers Licenses as a form of identification, mainly just passports. I may be screwed after all. :/ [22:53] * skellat takes a break before meeting time tonight [22:53] OMG, welcome back. [22:53] Do you have an introduction to give? [22:53] Are we already in the midst of meeting time? [22:54] Or have I gone beyond that long? [22:54] :-) [22:54] Lol, you have news to bring. [22:55] Less than five minutes befor ethe meeting! [22:55] before the* [22:59] Oh, skellat, I was reffering to the matter at hand. [23:00] Who is here for the meeting? [23:00] * belkinsa starts the meeting [23:00] o/ [23:01] Anyone else, jrgifford, Unit193, drkokandy? [23:02] here [23:02] Alright, is three enough to start the meeting, skellat? [23:03] belkinsa: We can start but I highly advise taking this to the mailing list after our initial discussion [23:03] RIght, I was thinking the same. === belkinsa changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Verified until 2015-11-19 | Future Planning Discussion to participate in: http://is.gd/NIooNZ | Watch weather alerts in ##weather-us-oh|Meeting Topic: Updates by Svetlana on the matter [23:03] Before I start, I believe we have some news from skellat. [23:04] I'm turning it over to skellat for the news. [23:04] My 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. [23:06] This 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 Friday [23:06] Back to you, belkinsa [23:06] Alright. [23:08] 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. [23:09] And our topics for this meeting are from that e-mail. [23:10] belkinsa: We got downgraded from a room to a table? [23:10] Yes. But I didn't remember saying anything about a room. [23:11] No, space. Sorry. [23:12] "> I am reaching out to you to see if there was interest from the Ohio [23:12] > Ubuntu LoCo in participating in the Ohio LinuxFest. We are prepared to [23:12] > gift the space to you, gratis, on the Friday of the conference: [23:12] > October 24, 2014." [23:12] Biggest issue will be getting talks lined up. [23:12] So, 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 problems === belkinsa changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Verified until 2015-11-19 | Future Planning Discussion to participate in: http://is.gd/NIooNZ | Watch weather alerts in ##weather-us-oh|Meeting Topic: Will we will be able to commit to hold Ubucon at the Ohio LinuxFest this year? [23:13] Okay...as to space, we got a conference room type area at the convention center in Columbus [23:13] Seats about 100 people [23:13] Unit193, yeah, I forgot about the talks but that is Oct 25, right? [23:14] Lotsa chairs, space at the front to speak...and nothing said by OLF about A/V equipment yet again [23:14] UbuCon always falls on a FRIDAY [23:14] Alright [23:14] So it would fall on October 24th [23:14] Ah, I see now. [23:14] This will be my first one. [23:15] They said that they can provide speakers if needed. [23:15] That's the third item for this meeting [23:16] yup [23:16] But the first is will we commit to this. [23:16] (sorry, i'm late) [23:16] It is okay [23:16] It's cool. [23:16] well, we can only commit if we have speakers [23:16] Right. [23:16] or at least a idea of what we're going to want to have presented [23:17] Would be too late if we get some speakers from the other LoCo's within USA? [23:17] belkinsa: Not really [23:17] The now-leader of Colorado spoke at UbuCon last year [23:17] Perfect, we need to live up that LoCo contacts list anyways. [23:18] Could also ask if Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph is available from California team [23:18] She said that she can't/ [23:18] I see you're exercising your initiative. Excellent. === belkinsa changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Verified until 2015-11-19 | Future Planning Discussion to participate in: http://is.gd/NIooNZ | Watch weather alerts in ##weather-us-oh|Meeting Topic: OLF Planning: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/MeetingAgendaJune2014 [23:19] drkokandy, which speakers did you like last year? [23:19] Alright. [23:19] #ACTION Make a call for speakers for OLF 2014 on LoCo Contact ML [23:19] Well Darkwing still idles here, means he must at least half like us. ;) [23:19] belkinsa's action Item [23:20] Didn't he say that he will in the last meeting? [23:21] * skellat casually reminds belkinsa that that the meeting bot isn't here and that minutes have to be kept manually :-) [23:21] I know. [23:21] I was in two meetings where the bot was missing. [23:21] that community computing session was really interesting, as well as the session by Jorge Castro [23:21] It's a habit. [23:22] I'm trying to remember what was Friday and what was Saturday [23:22] drkokandy: Friday was me playing showman, Saturday was me handing out business cards [23:22] Saturday was also iced tea from $GOOG [23:22] that doesn't really help me remember what day featured which speakers :) [23:23] There is a list message with the audio link to them... [23:24] Here's a list [23:24] https://archive.org/details/OhioLinuxfest2013 [23:24] [ Ohio LinuxFest 2013 : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive ] - https://j.mp/UZS3wM [23:24] Thanks [23:25] The roundtable was good, although I feel like we could have gotten more people involved [23:25] The roundtable was me improvising [23:25] I was a little late, so I came in in the middle of Why Ubuntu [23:25] the BIOS/UEFI session was really informative, I remember [23:25] One of the scheduled presentations went way too short so the roundtable was me doing improvisation to keep things going [23:26] At what time was this on that day? [23:26] Ah, that's right [23:26] Right after lunch [23:26] Keysigning on Friday too? [23:26] So a full day. Okay, thanks. [23:27] I only ended up signing one key...drkokandy's [23:27] I did the Friday planning in hour blocks [23:28] Well, it may be moot anywho. :) [23:28] Unit193: What may be moot? [23:30] Oh [23:30] You're being subtle [23:31] Remember, I work for the Treasury and not any entity based at Fort Meade [23:31] So...moving on? [23:32] OLF made their request of what they want as a session but what else do we want to show about *buntu? [23:32] Do you argee to hold some desktop basic content? If needed, we can provide the speakers for this component. Here is one [23:33] Thinking something short about flavors would be nice. [23:33] Maybe Ubuntu Touch runing a emi on the desktop? [23:33] Unit193, +1 [23:34] * skellat notes that leadership of USA locos is shifting to Xubuntu users increasingly [23:35] You, pleia, not sure who else. [23:35] Possibly soon to be Nebraska [23:35] There's a forced Change of Contact proceeding before LoCo Council right now [23:35] So, flavours and Ubuntu Touch and it's core apps? [23:36] Does it all have to be about the desktop? Can there something about the Community> [23:37] Focus on the tech the first hour, Communitize The Community afterwards [23:37] Or servers, or whatever. [23:37] That could work. [23:37] I have an idea for a Community based speech. [23:39] Canonical may or may not have appointed a new Community Manager by then too so as to replace Jono Bacon [23:40] Yeah, plus he said that he wasn't able to make it. [23:41] I asked him in one of is Q&A sessions. [23:41] belkinsa: 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] No, who are they? [23:41] FSF ^^^ [23:41] FSF: Free Software Foundation [23:42] Richard M. Stallman's people [23:42] Ah, no. Good idea though. [23:45] We could sneak a Debian talk in... [23:45] I was thinking about the FSF campaign recently over "E-mail Self Defense" that might be worthwhile to bring up again [23:46] Sure. [23:47] It seems that we can do the UbuCon after all if everything works. [23:49] And we can move to this over to the mailing list. [23:49] paultag: Going to OLF right? [23:50] Unit193, it's Saturday, it's his day off. [23:50] ;) === belkinsa changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Verified until 2015-11-19 | Future Planning Discussion to participate in: http://is.gd/NIooNZ | Watch weather alerts in ##weather-us-oh [23:53] Thank you everybody for making it today [23:53] s/today/tonight/ [23:53] skellat probably meant to say: Thank you everybody for making it tonight [23:53] Indeed. Thank you. [23:54] * skellat heads off to dinner [23:54] On another note, lower turn out.
