pleia2#topic Further discussion and decision on Leadership document amendment: Decisions on non-agendized topics during IRC meetings02:02
pleia2rww: all yours!02:02
rwwwhoo, my favorite word02:02
rwwSo hopefully everyone had a chance to look at the mailing list post already02:03
pleia2at the last meeting there was lots of talk about adjusting the time (36 vs 48 or something)02:03
pleia2but consensus seemed to be that it's a good idea02:03
rwwtl;dr for anyone who hasn't is in the first paragraph of https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2014-June/002437.html02:03
darthrobotTitle: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Leadership Document amendment: Decisions on non-agendized topics during IRC meetings]02:03
rwwyeah, that's the impression I got too02:04
rwwAnyone have an issue with the amendment, apart from the time?02:04
nhainesIt looks good to me.02:04
elkyo/02:05
ianorlinI like the idea02:05
pleia2cool02:05
pleia2the rationale for 36 hours was that it allows folks to add friday after work02:05
pleia2which seems reasonable02:05
rwwotoh, they have two weeks to add...02:06
rwwwell, 12 days02:06
pleia2heh, right02:06
rwwdoes anyone have a preference other than 36 or 48?02:07
elkyand friday night drinks inspired ideas could probably do with a fortnight cooldown ;)02:07
rwwalso, does anyone particularly prefer 48 over 36? (I don't)02:07
grantbow48 seems right to me02:07
DonkeyHotei36 seems like a compromise02:07
pleia248 is fine02:08
elkyi like 4802:08
* grantbow wasn't aware of discussion of less than 3602:08
pleia2easier on the brain02:08
DonkeyHoteialso, i stand by my recommendation of an 8pm cutoff instead of 7pm02:08
ianorlin4802:08
rwwI'd like to call for an everybody-vote on 48, then.02:08
nhainesIt's a bad compromise.  If the point is to allow people time to view the meeting agenda and schedule accordingly, then it's better to allow people to do that on Friday night and not Saturday morning.02:08
elkynhaines: good point02:08
pleia2and this is just for decision-making things anyway, if it's "chat about some idea" I think it's fine to add things later02:09
ianorlinlike oclug is saturday morning and 4 hours02:09
pleia2we don't decide much :)02:09
rwwpleia2: yep. It's specifically taking action on things.02:09

pleia2ah, upcoming events02:13
* rww ponders mailing list for this month02:13
rwwyep, some discussion about that on there. If anyone has any ideas, even if you think they're not awesome, please go add to that :D02:14
nhainesInstalled Ubuntu 14.04 on a very old laptop and an HP netbook running some HP Linux yesterday.  Ran very well on both.02:14
rwwnice thread about hard disk quality, that was interesting to read02:14
nhainesOCLUG is planning another installfest for October, so that's a thing too.02:14
rwwsame setup as the recent one?02:14
pleia2cool02:15
nhainesYup, but with more proactive advertising from what we've learned from the last one.02:15
rwwnice02:15
elkymake sure you hit up university campuses if nothing else02:15
pleia2some Ubuntu Hours upcoming, SF and Berkeley: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california/02:16
darthrobotTitle: [Ubuntu California | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]02:16
elkyand (lesson learned also) not the week before...02:16
* eps is looking for a "better" installfest worksheet02:16
* rww counts on fingers02:16
pleia2oh! there may be a Juju workshop at SFSU some time in the next couple of months, hoping to get an Orange Box for the event too (a Canonical employee would bring it)02:16
rwwpleia2: does the one on the 9th correspond with a BAD dinner>02:16
rwwcoincide **02:16
pleia2rww: I am not calling one, but someone might02:17
rwwpleia2: (re: SFSU) awesome! i'd be interested in going to that, the stuff on G+ about orange box has been fun02:17
pleia2no credit for me, Sameer just Cc:ed me on discussions with Canonifolk :)02:18
rwwalso Juju in general. They scaled it up to some ridiculous number of instances recently to test performance02:18
rwwAnyone on utopic?02:19
pleia2does tablet count? :)02:19
rwwno, but how is tablet going too :P02:19
* rww is all Debian and Android right now, hasn't been keeping track02:19
pleia2hehe02:19
pleia2is good02:19
grantbowfyi https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn02:20
darthrobotTitle: [UtopicUnicorn - Ubuntu Wiki]02:20
ianorlinI have done some lubuntu on utopic02:20
nhaineseps: what's lacking from the current worksheet?02:20
ianorlindid three of the tests for the alpha102:20
rwwoh! Ubuntu One shutdown is almost exactly a month from now, so if you haven't yet pulled your data from that go do it02:20
elkyowncloud is pretty good as a replacement if you have a vps or whatever. really easy to get going02:21
rwwlike, go do it now before you forget :P02:21
* rww is out of AOBs02:21
* pleia2 too02:21
epsnhaines: things like whether a machine has PS/2 ports, or is USB-only02:21
nhainesI recommend Copy as a U1 replacement, plus you can move your U1 files over for free.  Shameless referral link (extra 5GB) is here: https://copy.com?r=sSPOra02:22
darthrobot[R: www.copy.com] Title: [Copy]02:22
rwwSomeone wrote a GUI client for Microsoft OneDrive recently, but I suspect that will not be a popular U1 alternative.02:23
pleia2hehe02:23
rww(OneDrive used to be called SkyDrive)02:23
rwwhasn't PS/2 been legacy since like 200002:24
ianorlinit is still on new mobos02:24
* pleia2 just recently replaced her ps/2 keyboard02:24
rwwwow, finally something my work computers are cutting-edge about02:25
nhainesNot sure it's terribly relevant for an installfest either--no OS doesn't support both.02:25
pleia2rww: haha02:25
elkypleia2: was it a M?02:25
epsnhaines: I'm getting ready to install on a bunch of former XP machines, and it makes a difference for us02:26
pleia2elky: nah, but a close M successor02:26
elkyso oldschool02:26
rwwnhaines: did the recent installfest discriminate between BIOS and UEFI, or not bother because Ubuntu?02:26
rww(and Secure Boot on vs. off vs. not present, I guess)02:27
ianorlinmost were vista machines or xp ones02:27
pleia2ah02:27
pleia2ok, wrap up time?02:28
nhainesrww: not because Ubuntu.02:28
rwwpleia2: yep02:28
pleia2ok, thanks everyone :)02:28

rwwI did post-meeting stuff last meeting, I choose... nhaines!02:28
nhaineseps: I'd like to know more.02:28
nhainesrww: I'm trying to get MIDI working in DOSBox so I can get sound working in Privateer and also immediately redo all the work when I reinstall 14.04 which I should do now.  :P02:29
=== rww changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-ca to: Welcome to the Ubuntu California Local Community (LoCo) Team! | Website: http://ubuntu-california.org (has links to mailing list, forum, and more!) | Next Meeting: July 13th | This channel is publicly logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic
rwwyou people make me cry02:29
rwwone of these days I will con someone into being delegated to02:30
grantbowthanks everyone02:30
nhainesI can probably do it tonight before bed.02:31
rwwnhaines: yay \o/02:31
pleia2:)02:31
epsnhaines: Mostly Dell hardware being repurposed. There are a bunch of system units, boxes of keyboards, mice, power cords, etc. Part of the task is to create a detailed record for each machine, with the Dell-assigned Service Tag, and a bunch of information gleaned from dmidecode, lspci, etc.02:31
nhaineseps: doesn't sound like an installfest at all.02:32
* nhaines wonders if there's good asset management records software for Ubuntu out there.02:32
nhainesBesides Landscape.  :P02:32
ianorlinI wish places that sold computers gave the info of lscpi when buying the pc and stuff but instead they don't02:33
epsAll of the machines are destined for the same organization, but volunteers are going to go through more or less the same steps as with an ordinary installfest.02:33
elkynhaines: http://www.open-audit.org/ like?02:34
darthrobotTitle: [Open-AudIT - The network inventory, audit, documentation and management tool.]02:34
DonkeyHoteieps: part of my inattentiveness at this meeting is due to the simultaneous meeting in #partimus02:34
epsWhile the machines would be set up more or less identically, they'll be deployed for different tasks. Some won't be appropriate for low-spec machines, while for others that won't matter.02:36
grantbowelky: thanks for the link02:37
elkyi couchsurfed at the openaudit guy's house for a conference week once and got a demo. was pretty cool02:37
rwwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership updated02:37
darthrobotTitle: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership - Ubuntu Wiki]02:37
grantbowcool02:37
epsIf some of them need to have money thrown at them (e.g. new video cards), we want to know that sooner rather than later.02:37
rwwthe spacing is weird on some things but it was like that on things i didn't touch so i blame Canonical and/or Moin02:38
elkyblame canonical for choosing moin, best of both02:38
rwwp. much02:38
rwwmediawiki 4 lyfe02:38
DonkeyHoteimediawiki needs mysql, moin doesn't02:39
elkymediawiki wasn't good enough in 2006 apparently02:39
rwwI think you can Juju Mediawiki, maybe we should get jcastro on it02:39
rwwheh, TIL https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:PostgreSQL02:39
darthrobotTitle: [Manual:PostgreSQL - MediaWiki]02:39
elkyyeah i was confused, i'm pretty sure i've set mediawiki up with non-mysql before02:40
rwwit apparently works better with MariaDB than MySQL even02:40
rwwalthough they're similar enough that w/e02:40
grantbownot according to the maria folks ;-)02:41
* eps is looking at Bitnami ... it looks like they support DokuWiki, MediaWiki, and something called Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware02:43
grantbowbetween bitnami.com and turnkeylinux.org there are quite a few ami options02:56
nhainesYay, I got MIDI working.03:15
pleia2:)03:20
DonkeyHoteiso did i, but over usb and without dos03:26
nhainesFor some reason I have to run timidity directly in ALSA server mode.  Also there doesn't appear to be a way to make it do this with its config files.03:33
DonkeyHoteiit's in /etc/default/timidity03:37
nhainesI know where the config files are.  There doesn't appear to be a way to make it daemonize correctly.03:38
nhainesWhich is strange because I'd swear I had it running like that before.03:38
DonkeyHoteidaemonizes correctly for me on precise03:42
nhainesNot really relevant.  I'm not on precise and I'm not having trouble with it daemonizing.  It just doesn't daemonize as an ALSA server and there are no config file settings to allow it to do so.03:52
DonkeyHoteisounds like an initscript cockup between releases03:54
nhainesHighly doubtful.03:54
rwwneeds more systemd03:55
DonkeyHoteii might look into it more when i get the chance to set up timidity under trusty03:55
