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