[00:00] <balloons> http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-us-florida-20140707
[00:01] <mhall119> is the etherpad down for everyone?
[00:01] <Michelle_> break all the things!
[00:01] <govatent> i'm on it
[00:01] <govatent> i saw you and then you went away 
[00:02] <mhall119> broken for me then, great
[00:02] <itnet7> Yeah, it's not letting me connect iether
[00:03] <itnet7> Hey there govatent !
[00:03] <mhall119> well, so much for that idea
[00:03] <Michelle_> Shall I just take notes?
[00:03] <govatent> hey itnet7 
[00:04] <balloons_> Yes can't get in to etherpad
[00:04] <mhall119> ok, third time's a charm, can everyone get to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fbJuJTz413oq30kPryzx014E4CyU6EzvftftYkQjWhs/edit?usp=sharing ?
[00:04] <govatent> yea, after i refreshed i did lose access 
[00:05] <Michelle_> Yes, can get to google doc
[00:05] <mhall119> hurray google
[00:05] <mhall119> ok, let's get this party started
[00:05] <mhall119> first off, does anybody who isn't me want to chair this?
[00:06] <mhall119> I'm happy to, but want to give others an opportunity if they want
[00:06] <Michelle_> ::crickets::
[00:06] <itnet7> Go ahead mhall119, thanks!
[00:07] <mhall119> right then, off we go
[00:07] <mhall119> so, FOSSETCON is coming to Orlando this September!
[00:07] <govatent> I will do the next one if it counts for anything. 
[00:07] <mhall119> we haven't had a large, all-open-source conference in the state since FLS years ago
[00:07] <mhall119> http://fossetcon.org/
[00:07] <mhall119> Bryanstein is organizing it
[00:08] <mhall119> Bryanstein: do you want to give it a plug real quick?
[00:08] <Bryanstein> Sure thing...
[00:08] <Bryanstein> Well as mhall119 said it's been a longgggggg time since we've had an event in our area that we can call our own.
[00:09] <Bryanstein> The whole idea and concept of Fossetcon is to lower the barrier of entry for people to get access to training and other materials as well as collaborate 
[00:09] <Bryanstein> So we have 3 days:
[00:09] <Bryanstein> Day 0 is the training/workshop day...there will be an Ubucon going on Day 0 as well as other sorta of training etc
[00:10] <Bryanstein> There will be breakfast and lunch on Day 0 so that you feel as if you are in a training environment
[00:10] <mhall119> Day 0 is Thursday, correct?
[00:10] <Bryanstein> I'm sorry yes
[00:10] <Bryanstein> Sept 11, Day 0
[00:11] <Bryanstein> But let me rewind...we also plan on doing something to notice 9/11 as American's generally active commemorate the day
[00:11] <Bryanstein> zoopster will be helping a great deal on that front
[00:11]  * mhall119 hasn't seen zoopster in forever
[00:11] <itnet7> ditto
[00:12] <Bryanstein> Fast Forward...at 6pm ish Day 0 ends and the speaker dinner commences as well as space for BOF's
[00:12] <itnet7> unless you count facebook :-)
[00:12] <Bryanstein> Day 1 and Day 2 are the usual deal...We start with Breakfast at 8ish-9...then there is the keynote session and the expo hall opens
[00:12] <Bryanstein> After that the rest of the day is Speaker Sessions and expo
[00:13] <mhall119> cool, so a couple of quick questions:
[00:13] <mhall119> 1) When do tickets go on sale
[00:13] <Bryanstein> Saturday is a mirror of Friday but it should end in an after party
[00:13] <mhall119> 2) Can you buy tickets the day of the event?
[00:13] <Bryanstein> 1: https://pass.fossetcon.org/fossetcon-2014
[00:13] <Bryanstein> Now
[00:13] <Michelle_> 3) Who is the target audience?  
[00:13] <mhall119> \o/
[00:13] <govatent> Will tickets be sold at the door by any chance?
[00:13] <Bryanstein> 2. Yes you can buy tickets the day of the event
[00:14] <Bryanstein> govatent, yes...you can just walk in...btw tickets are $10, $20, $85
[00:14] <Bryanstein> 10 for Fri-Sat
[00:14] <Bryanstein> $20 for Thurs-Sat
[00:14] <govatent> perfect 
[00:14] <Bryanstein> $85 if you want to be a supporter and get a fancy bag etc
[00:14] <mhall119> Bryanstein: are kids free? :)
[00:15] <govatent> I'm going to try my best to be there. It all depends on my work. 
[00:15] <Bryanstein> mhall119, haven't provisioned for that...but I'm open for suggestions!
[00:15] <mhall119> Bryanstein: I know at FLS we had several bring kids in tow, so having a known policy for that would help
[00:15] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, the target is Enthusiasts, Makers, Developers, Hackers, and N00bs...everyone really
[00:16] <Michelle_> OK, may have some older kids in my homeschool group who'd be interested, I'll pass along the information.
[00:16] <Bryanstein> mhall119, we have other policies but first we'll surely not put and age limit on attendees
[00:16] <mhall119> Bryanstein: not a limit, but a "Kids 15 and under are free"
[00:16] <mhall119> or even under 18 with an adult
[00:17] <Michelle_> <- will likely have children in tow
[00:17] <govatent> <-is a kid
[00:17] <Bryanstein> Hmm...that works, for expo days for sure, but one thing to keep in mind... Day 0 has a limited number of participants due to food
[00:17] <mhall119> yeah, that's reasonable I think
[00:18] <Bryanstein> Well you can't buy sat 300 meals and 700 people show up
[00:18] <jose> will I be able to attend the party too?
[00:18] <Bryanstein> s/sat/say
[00:18] <Michelle_> Yeah, that'd suck.
[00:18] <balloons_> Is day 0 full?
[00:18] <Bryanstein> jose, you'll be there in enough time
[00:18] <mhall119> jose: which party?
[00:18] <Bryanstein> balloons, nope
[00:18] <jose> mhall119: the closing party!
[00:18] <Bryanstein> lol jose you'll make the speaker dinner also
[00:19] <jose> well, I could set up the tables and that
[00:19] <jose> easy way to get infiltrated
[00:19] <Bryanstein> Most importantly...the Ubucon...we'd like to have the loco fully on board and in full effect
[00:19] <mhall119> right, so getting to how this really impacts our team, there is going to be an Ubuntu booth there, and we need people to help run it
[00:19] <Michelle_> how can we help, Bryanstein ?
[00:20] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, well awesome guys like mhall119 and jose have already submitted talks and workshops that we'll be using as a part of the Ubucon
[00:20] <mhall119> Bryanstein: who's managing the schedule for UbuCon?
[00:21] <Bryanstein> mhall119, well we manage the time frame and well...collect the talks. We just ask that it breaks when we break for lunch and that it ends when everything else ends
[00:21] <Michelle_> itnet7: Should I drag my children along with me, would Bree be interested in a 3-day, on location, baby-sitting gig?  If so, I'll be able to help as needed.
[00:22] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, you should definitely submit a talk...we need coaches/mentors and just a good ole fashion decent turn out for the Ubuntu community 
[00:22] <itnet7> Michelle_: I'll ask her and see, hopefully at least part of the time she'd want to come
[00:22] <Michelle_> itnet7: that'd work.  I'll message you closer to event.  :) 
[00:22] <Bryanstein> Ha...Bree is too grown for us now itnet7 ?
[00:23] <Michelle_> Bryanstein: not sure what I'd talk about these days.  I've been dead in the water.
[00:23] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, no such thing!
[00:23] <mhall119> Bryanstein: action item time, what specific tasks can we do to help? Help call for papers? Setup stuff Wednesday evening or Thursday morning?
[00:23] <itnet7> ROFL yeah Bryanstein  :-)
[00:23] <itnet7> She probably will though, i don't want to commit her without asking her :-)
[00:24] <govatent> what kind of papers?
[00:24] <Michelle_> ooh, mhall119 and Quinn could submit a paper about Quinn's robotic arm
[00:24] <mhall119> maybe
[00:24] <Michelle_> totally threw him under the bus.  ;) 
[00:24] <mhall119> or his Ubuntu app
[00:25] <mhall119> I already have 2 talks proposed though
[00:25] <mhall119> well, a talk and a workshop
[00:25] <Michelle_> What's one more? 
[00:25] <Bryanstein> Well Michelle_ so you guys like ran a distro...so you'll never be out of touch and...you're a matriarch so errr your presence is always well felt.
[00:26] <Bryanstein> J Castro has some talks in the mill also
[00:26] <govatent> what about someone like me with a not so skilled background
[00:26] <Michelle_> I'll think on it, Bryanstein.  I'd like to reach out to girls.
[00:26] <mhall119> yeah, about that distro.....I haven't kept up with work items
[00:26] <Bryanstein> As well as Jose...I spoke to Nathan Haines like 2 months ago or something just to make sure we were on the right track
[00:26] <mhall119> govatent: not so skilled my, uh, foot :-P
[00:27] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, PERFECT...we also have a diversity initiative which means...all underrepresented groups are not only welcomed but encouraged to participate
[00:27] <govatent> i'd like to be able to help.
[00:27] <Bryanstein> Women are also  members of an underrepresented group
[00:28] <Bryanstein> We also need...101 type of information
[00:28] <Michelle_> I'll see what I can come up with.  When is the CFP closing?
[00:28] <Bryanstein> Ubuntu for beginners
[00:28] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, through August 3rd...we extended the cfp because we didn't reach our diversity goals
[00:28] <Michelle_> OK.  That gives me some time to think on things.  :) 
[00:29] <Michelle_> I'll reach out to my Mama Gamers, and see if they have any bright ideas.
[00:29] <Bryanstein> govatent, submit a talk...Ubuntu NAS talk or something?
[00:29] <Bryanstein> Ha
[00:29] <govatent> lol
[00:29] <mhall119> NAS?
[00:29] <govatent> pogo style 
[00:29] <mhall119> oh, storage probably, nvm
[00:29] <Bryanstein> Well govatent has been doing networking and NAS stuff since it was errr around :oP
[00:30] <govatent> but older arm chips. 
[00:30] <govatent> ubuntu has dropped support for old arm chips
[00:30] <mhall119> Bryanstein: how about setup or organization, anything we can help with on that?
[00:30] <Bryanstein> mhall119, well volunteers are definitely definitely definitely needed
[00:30] <Bryanstein> Definitely
[00:30] <Michelle_> Happy to lend my organizational skills.  
[00:31] <mhall119> Bryanstein: any official way to signup as a volunteer?
[00:31] <Bryanstein> mhall119, actually there is http://reg.fossetcon.org
[00:31] <Bryanstein> Go there and act as if you're going to be a speaker...then register on the little silly ruby app and click volunteer and enter your information
[00:32] <mhall119> thanks
[00:32] <mhall119> alright, so as I mentioned earlier, we'll also have an Ubuntu booth that we'll need to run Friday and Saturday
[00:32] <mhall119> I'm arranging with Canonical to get tablecloths, banners and some giveaway items
[00:33] <Bryanstein> Oh...I've got a free Ubuntu User subscription to give away just for the Ubufans too :oP
[00:33] <mhall119> I'll bring my laptop and phone to use for demos
[00:33] <mhall119> Bryanstein: nice!
[00:33] <itnet7> mhall119: I still have the banner, and tablecloth we have from before, maybe they can be used for the ubucon
[00:34] <mhall119> itnet7: yeah, that's be great
[00:34] <govatent> if i can make it, which i'll know closer to the date, how do people feel about demoing system76?
[00:34] <mhall119> govatent: if you have one, sure
[00:34] <govatent> I do. It's my personal machine 
[00:34] <jose> have you guys thought about having phones?
[00:34] <mhall119> yeah, any machine you can bring to demo would be nice
[00:34] <govatent> good idea jose 
 I'll bring my laptop and phone to use for demos
[00:35] <jose> oh cool
[00:35]  * jose missed that
[00:35] <balloons_> We'll have nexus 4 and nexus 7
[00:35] <mhall119> I was just going to ask you :)
[00:35] <balloons_> Lol. Yes I could bring a n10 also
[00:35] <mhall119> oh, yeah
[00:36] <mhall119> QA guys get all the devices :-P
[00:36] <mhall119> alright, any other questions or action items about FOSSETCON?
[00:36] <Michelle_> oh, there's rumor of a get-together one evening at our house, if y'all want to join.
[00:37] <Michelle_> No details ATM, though. 
[00:38] <Bryanstein> lol Michelle_ 
[00:38] <govatent> will there be cookies?
[00:38] <mhall119> there probably won't be BBQ though
[00:38] <Michelle_> And cake!
[00:38] <Bryanstein> Oh can I toss in a word here?
[00:39] <Michelle_> Go for it
[00:39] <Bryanstein> Follow us on twitter...I'm bad at social media but people use it as an ummm watermark or something
[00:39] <balloons_> I can being cake or cupcakes
[00:39]  * mhall119 is bad at twitter also
[00:39] <Bryanstein> So @fossetcon... follow us and we follow back
[00:39] <mhall119> Bryanstein: how about a Facebook or G+ page?
[00:39] <govatent> Bryanstein, when will the volunteer sign up be taken down? (if it will) I don't want to put my name up until i'm sure I can go. Either between this job or my possible new job in the coming weeks 
[00:40] <Michelle_> Bryanstein: do you need twitter help?  FB?  
[00:40] <Bryanstein> mhall119, all of that is there but realistically it's not in great shape...there is twitter tumblr, wordpress and 
[00:40] <mhall119> don't say diaspora
[00:40] <Bryanstein> ummm diaspora !
[00:40] <mhall119> lol
[00:40] <itnet7> ROFL
[00:40] <Bryanstein> Dude
[00:41] <Bryanstein> I post once in diaspora and it posts to twitter wordpress tumblr
[00:41] <Bryanstein> So ha!
[00:41] <Bryanstein> api keys !
[00:41] <mhall119> you need G+, there's so many FLOSS people using it
[00:41] <Michelle_> Bryanstein: holler if you need social media help. 
[00:41] <Bryanstein> https://pod.fossetcon.org/u/fossetcon
[00:41]  * Bryanstein HELP
[00:41] <Michelle_> PM me later, we'll work on that. 
[00:42] <Bryanstein> sure thing...it's FOSSetcon...you have to have diaspora...we have pump.io too btw :oP
[00:42] <Michelle_> :)
[00:42] <Bryanstein> G+ is there but I don't know the link...linkedin too
[00:42] <Michelle_> Can do 
[00:42]  * mhall119 will find it
[00:42] <Bryanstein> instagram...hahaha pinterest 
[00:43] <Bryanstein> Oh yes FB is there but it needs fixing...I was asking jose about this earlier 
[00:43] <Michelle_> oh, hell, I can pinterest like no one's business.  
[00:43] <Michelle_> #skillz
[00:43] <mhall119> uh oh, you've unleashed it now Bryanstein :)
[00:44] <Michelle_> we'll sort that out later.  Anything else we need to think about?
[00:44] <mhall119> alright, is there anything else for FOSSETCON before we move on to our only other agenda item for today?
[00:44] <Bryanstein> Ha...well I just sorta reserved it because I felt we needed to...but pin it up Michelle_ the Maestro or should I say Maestra
[00:45] <Bryanstein> Um no mhall119 thank you!
[00:45] <mhall119> thanks Bryanstein, I'm really excited about it :)
[00:46] <mhall119> so the next item is team verification
[00:46] <mhall119> it used to be that we had "approved" loco teams, of which Florida was one
[00:46] <balloons_> When did we lose it?
[00:46] <mhall119> balloons_: a while ago
[00:46] <Michelle_> never mind, ignore that
[00:47] <mhall119> so now we have "verified" which is a little less rigorous than "approved"
[00:47] <Michelle_> ok, so how do we need to go about that?
[00:47] <mhall119> being verified would allow the team to get things like release DVDs and conference packs
[00:48] <mhall119> verification guidelines are https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines
[00:48] <itnet7> Michelle_: We have to just show the activity level we once did basically
[00:48] <mhall119> a lot of it we already have from being approved before, like the launchpad page, wiki, irc channel, etc
[00:49] <mhall119> we don't have to show the same level of activity as before, just some level of it and consistently
[00:49] <itnet7> Well, yeah that's true
[00:49] <Michelle_> Do the wiki/etc. need to be updated?
[00:49] <mhall119> so I started off by creating a new wiki application page for us: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/VerificationApplication2014
[00:49] <itnet7> Cool
[00:49] <mhall119> which we'll need to fill in with info to show the LoCo Council
[00:50] <mhall119> we also have some meetups and meetings in loco.ubuntu.com we can point to
[00:50] <mhall119> govatent: are there any south florida events that you've had which aren't in loco.ubuntu.com?
[00:50] <mhall119> if so, we will need to list them on the wiki page too
[00:50] <Bryanstein> Please schedule that Ubucon on the site ASAP...methinks that will help
[00:50] <govatent> I'm sure there are. 
[00:51] <mhall119> Bryanstein: I already have FOSSETCON itself on there
[00:51] <mhall119> do you think we should schedule UbuCon separately?
[00:51] <govatent> I would sometimes remember to update the loco when i did events 
[00:51] <Bryanstein> I do
[00:51] <Michelle_> I would, if the Loco is gonna be chairing the Ubucon
[00:51] <mhall119> Bryanstein: are FOSSETCON tickets needed to get in for UbuCon?
[00:51] <Bryanstein> mhall119, no sir
[00:51] <Bryanstein> Oh ummm
[00:51] <balloons_> Oo
[00:51] <Bryanstein> hehe I'd say so
[00:51] <mhall119> ah, okay then, I'll get that on there
[00:52] <Bryanstein> I answered too quick hehehe
[00:52] <govatent> South Florida has been a bit dead due to my work. but last year and before was pretty active 
[00:52] <Bryanstein> mhall119, did you see that correction?
[00:52] <mhall119> govatent: are those all in loco.ubuntu.com?
[00:52] <mhall119> Bryanstein: so tickets *are* needed?
[00:53] <Bryanstein> mhall119, yes...but do you actually have to say that?
[00:53] <mhall119> Bryanstein: well people will need to know
[00:53] <mhall119> and when I set it up in LTP, I need to point the registration link to FOSSETCON for them to get tickets
[00:53] <Bryanstein> mhall119, ok yes that is definitely correct hehehe
[00:53] <govatent> i'll look at my history and get them there before the end of the week any chances i need to make
[00:53] <mhall119> thanks govatent 
[00:54] <mhall119> Bryanstein: in that case I'm going to leave them as a single event
[00:54] <Bryanstein> :o( well the loco is actually doing a lot for this Ubucon
[00:54] <Bryanstein> If it weren't for the loco...no Ubucon
[00:54] <Bryanstein> Seriously
[00:54] <mhall119> I know, but it'll still be a subset of FOSSETCON, not independent
[00:55] <mhall119> I'll change the name to include both though
[00:55] <mhall119> FOSSETCON + UbuCon or something
[00:57] <Michelle_> ok, what else can we think of for verification
[00:57] <mhall119> itnet7: would you be able to help me fill out the verification wiki page, since you were around for our original approval?
[00:58] <itnet7> Sure
[00:58] <itnet7> no problem
[00:58] <mhall119> once we have the application page in order, we have two options, we can either go through the process using the Launchpad bug tracker, or we can schedule an IRC meeting with the LoCo Council and present it via chat
[00:58] <mhall119> thanks itnet7 
[00:59] <Michelle_> is there a preference one way or another?
[00:59] <mhall119> going through the bug tracker gives us more time for back-and-forth discussion and to provide more information if it's requested
[00:59] <mhall119> but it might also take longer
[01:00] <mhall119> IRC would give us a yes or no decision within the hour of the meeting, but we wouldn't have time to react if they don't see enough to give us a "yes"
[01:00] <itnet7> Usually the process went easier with the teams at IRC meetings
[01:00] <itnet7> Our wiki will be bullet proof
[01:00] <mhall119> IRC does have the benefit of live, person-to-person interaction
[01:00] <mhall119> itnet7: heh, if you say so :)
[01:00] <jose> that's right, though the bug tracker gets you the benefit of *all* 6 LC members voting
[01:00] <itnet7> at least for what we used to look for when I was a member of the council
[01:01] <jose> there are a couple LC members who cannot make it to the meeting, so they don't vote or they just vote before
[01:01] <mhall119> well jose can give us some good advice here :)
[01:01] <itnet7> yeah
[01:01] <jose> oh, and the LTP is bonus points - make sure to put the info there
[01:01] <mhall119> jose: since we have you around, is there anything you can think of that we're missing?
[01:02] <jose> lemme quickly check that link again
[01:02] <mhall119> don't bother, it's just a copy/paste of the example
[01:02] <jose> oh, nothing in there yet
[01:02] <jose> yeah
[01:02] <mhall119> jose: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/ApprovalApplication was our original application
[01:02] <jose> well, if you have pictures that'd make us more excited
[01:03] <mhall119> I have some from the release party I'll upload
[01:03] <jose> awesome
[01:03] <mhall119> jose: are pictures from years ago worth posting?
[01:03] <jose> mhall119: definitely
[01:03] <mhall119> ok, I'll get them too :)
[01:03] <Michelle_> we've got build-day photos and loco dinner photos too, mhall119 
[01:04] <mhall119> yup
[01:04] <Michelle_> somewhere in these dusty halls.
[01:04] <mhall119> on my laptop somewhere most likely
[01:04] <mhall119> ok, so bug tracker of IRC, anybody have any opinions on that?
[01:04] <mhall119> s/of/or/
[01:05] <govatent> i've got plenty of pictures from the last 3 years
[01:05] <itnet7> I think it might be easier overall using the bugtracker, unless we can have a good presence at the IRC meeting
[01:05] <Michelle_> I like the personal interaction, for what my opinion is worth.
[01:05] <mhall119> jose: does the LC have preference?
[01:06] <jose> I would say it's totally up to you guys - both work for us
[01:07] <mhall119> jose: what day and time does the LC usually meet for IRC verification?
[01:08] <jose> mhall119: it is on the third tuesday of each month, at 20 UTC
[01:09] <jose> next meeting takes place next Tuesday (in 8 days), if any teams are listed
[01:09] <mhall119> jose: do we have a deadline for when we do this?
[01:09] <jose> mhall119: I'd say 48h before the meeting
[01:09] <mhall119> or do we just ask to be evaluated when we're ready?
[01:09] <jose> oh
[01:10] <jose> you mean in terms of verification per se
[01:10] <mhall119> jose: I mean, does it have to be this month, or next, or the one after
[01:10] <jose> it can be in whatever month you choose
[01:10] <jose> whenever you guys feel like you're ready enough
[01:11] <jose> though at this point I believe it's just a matter of writing things down - everything seems to be in order
[01:11] <mhall119> ok, so shall we try and get everything ready for the one in 8 days?
[01:12] <mhall119> I'm also incined to use the IRC meeting, and I at least will be around, Michelle_ too most likely
[01:12] <mhall119> govatent: itnet7: as the other 2 on the team council, do you have a preference?
[01:12] <Michelle_> My schedule next tuesday is open, so I'll be available
[01:13] <itnet7> I think it would be better to do an irc meeting
[01:13] <mhall119> balloons_ should be around too, as long as he's not trying to kill himself on a kite again
[01:13] <balloons_> Hah. No more of that?
[01:13] <govatent> i can do that
[01:13] <mhall119> ok, let's aim for that then
[01:14] <mhall119> jose: how do we get on your schedule?
[01:14] <Michelle_> don't pop our balloons_ !  
[01:14] <balloons_> Next Tuesday then?
[01:14] <mhall119> yup
[01:14] <Michelle_> sounds like consensus to me
[01:14] <mhall119> a week from tomorrow
[01:15] <itnet7> +1
[01:16] <govatent> what time is 2000 utc for us?
[01:16] <mhall119> 4pm
[01:16] <govatent> alright
[01:16] <mhall119> 3pm in the far reaches of the panhandle
[01:17] <mhall119> ok, so anybody who's been to any event lately, put it on the Experiences section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/VerificationApplication2014
[01:17] <Michelle_> k.  I should be home from the kids' camp by then.
[01:17] <mhall119> I'll list meetings from LTP on there too
[01:18] <mhall119> (LTP == loco team portal, loco.ubuntu.com)
[01:18] <mhall119> any other topics anybody wants to discuss?
[01:18] <mhall119> that's all that was on today's agenda
[01:19] <itnet7> Not from me, Thanks for calling the meeting together
[01:20] <mhall119> ok, thanks everybody for coming, don't forget your action items on the meeting notes doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fbJuJTz413oq30kPryzx014E4CyU6EzvftftYkQjWhs/edit#
[01:20] <mhall119> shall I go ahead and schedule next month's meeting as well?
[01:20] <mhall119> first monday again?
[01:20] <govatent> I agree
[01:21] <Michelle_> Yep
[01:21] <mhall119> who would like to chair that one?
[01:21] <mhall119> it'll be August 4th
[01:21] <Michelle_> I believe govatent said he would... ;)
[01:21] <mhall119> ah, I thought me meant the next agenda item from today
[01:21] <govatent> Yes I will 
[01:21] <mhall119> sweet!
[01:21]  * mhall119 marks him down before he changes his mind
[01:21] <govatent> I just wanted to get a feel for what I have to do. I'm scared of chairing a meeting. 
[01:22] <govatent> but it shall be
[01:22] <Michelle_> you'll be fine.  ;)
[01:22] <mhall119> govatent: nothing to it, just bring up an agenda item and keep the conversation moving along
[01:22] <mhall119> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-florida/840/detail/ ok, we're all set
[01:22] <mhall119> add any agenda items to that between now and then
[01:23] <govatent> I get to do something!
[01:23] <mhall119> \o.
[01:23] <mhall119> oops, stubby arm there
[01:23] <mhall119> \o/
[01:23] <mhall119> better
[01:23] <Bryanstein> lol
[01:23] <mhall119> ok, thanks again everyone
[01:23] <Michelle_> rofl
[01:23] <Bryanstein> Thanks guys
[01:23] <mhall119> thanks Bryanstein 
[01:24] <govatent> Bryanstein, I'm really hoping I can make it out. 
[01:24] <Michelle_> can't wait to see you Bryanstein, it's been too long!
[01:24] <govatent> I agree. 
[01:24] <Bryanstein> Michelle_, me too!
[01:24] <govatent> who wants some tyrkisk peber?
[01:24] <Bryanstein> govatent, you will ...trust in the force! Just do what you do!
[01:24] <Michelle_> govatent: some wha?
[01:24] <itnet7> OMG
[01:24] <govatent> itnet7, hahaha
[01:24]  * mhall119 hopes those are cookies
[01:24] <itnet7> govatent.... nightmares
[01:25] <govatent> Michelle_, were you never introduced to the worst candy ever made?
[01:25] <itnet7> mhall119: it was that nasty candy from UDS
[01:25] <Michelle_> oh, the licorice stuff?
[01:25] <itnet7> yeah
[01:25] <govatent> itnet7, I think i found a place in Miami that sells the stuff. but i never have any free to go buy another pack 
[01:25] <mhall119> govatent: salmiak is the worst candy ever made
[01:25] <Michelle_> the stuff made from kitten tears and bad memories?
[01:26] <mhall119> lol
[01:26] <govatent> Michelle_, i love that 
[01:26] <jose> mhall119: sorry, I left for dinner, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda
[01:26] <mhall119> jose: no worries, I was just going to reply to the bug tracker
[01:26] <jose> cool
[01:26] <mhall119> I'll add us to your wiki agenda too
[01:26] <govatent> mhall119, they make a Finnish State alcohol with 46% abv made of Salmiaki flavor
[01:27] <Michelle_> oh yay, hell you can drink!
[01:27] <mhall119> oh god, why would you do that?
[01:27] <mhall119> why would anybody do that?
[01:27] <itnet7> I don't know why... death wish?
[01:29] <govatent> I've been wanting to import it. 
[01:30] <govatent> but its like 60 usd
[01:30] <govatent> i don't even drink 
[01:30] <govatent> but i'd have to taste it 
[01:30] <itnet7> lol
[01:30] <Michelle_> Alternately, beat your head against a brick and save yourself sixty bucks?
[01:30] <mhall119> and your tastebuds
[01:30] <govatent> or if you have a sweet tooth, they have it in ice cream form 
[01:31] <Michelle_> Neither one  of those seem like a particularly good idea, but hey
[01:31] <mhall119> it takes hours to get the taste of salmiak out
[01:31] <mhall119> itnet7: while you're around, can we change ownership of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-florida to the new council team?
[01:32] <itnet7> Oh, I thought it already was....
[01:32] <mhall119> nope, still owned by you
[01:32] <mhall119> I should turn over ownership of the council team to one of you as well
[01:32] <itnet7> I'm attempting to change it now
[01:33] <itnet7> Yeah they asked me about that in the LP bug
[01:33] <mhall119> who wants to deal with Launchpad issues for the council?
[01:33] <govatent> I can. Although, I don't currently know what they are. 
[01:33] <mhall119> there aren't any currently
[01:34] <mhall119> but that's about the only responsibility the team owner would have
[01:34] <mhall119> congratulations govatent, you're now the owner of a council team :)
[01:35] <Michelle_> woo!
[01:35] <govatent> cookies all around 
[01:36] <itnet7> I changed the ownership
[01:37] <mhall119> thanks itnet7, that should be all we needed to do there
[01:40] <michelleq> This is a terrible interface.  Ignore me while I sort this out.
[01:45] <itnet7> govatent: does daniel still live in Miami?
[01:45] <itnet7> or Coral Gables I should say
[01:46] <MichelleQ> woo!  not so ugly.
[01:49] <mhall119> hey, does anybody else here blog about Ubuntu stuff?
[01:49] <mhall119> balloons: I know you do, we need to get your blog on the team feed
[01:54] <jose> I assume, because of all what he's said, that balloons / balloons__ will go to FOSSETCON too
[01:54] <mhall119> I think so
[01:54] <balloons__> Going to try and go yes
[01:54] <mhall119> he may have a few more underscores by then
[01:54] <balloons__> Present as well if I can
[01:55] <balloons__> How to get on team feed?
[01:55] <govatent> itnet7, last i checked 
[01:55] <mhall119> balloons: hmm, maybe we haven't build that UI yet....
[01:55] <govatent> itnet7, I think they are moving to cali in the near future 
[01:55] <itnet7> oh... wow
[01:56] <govatent> i've been meaning to pay him a vist, but with 12 hour work days, it's near impossible to do anything outside of work
[01:56] <mhall119> are we losing more people to the west coast?
[01:56] <itnet7> I was going to be in Miami July31 and Aug 1
[01:56] <govatent> the west cost seems to be where the tech is at
[01:56] <itnet7> for UCS training I was going to ask him If I could couch surf :-)
[01:56] <govatent> omg, if you come to miami, YOU LET ME KNOW
[01:57] <itnet7> I am 
[01:57] <govatent> I'm sure they would have you over 
[01:57] <itnet7> July 31 and August 1st
[01:57] <govatent> I'm gonna try and see if i can pay him a visit some day after work this week 
[01:57] <itnet7> I can see if there are other seats open
[01:57] <mhall119> itnet7: what is UCS?
[01:57] <govatent> Cisco :)
[01:57] <govatent> right?
[01:58] <itnet7> Cisco's Blade servers
[01:58] <govatent> you working with them?
[01:59] <mhall119> oh fun
[02:00] <mhall119> btw, if anybody is interested (/me looks at a couple of you), http://www.canonical.com/careers/all-vacancies
[02:00] <itnet7> Yeah, I have been spearheading the migration from Legacy IBM servers to the Cisco UCS platform
[02:01] <itnet7> That combined with Migrating from Hitachi Storage to EMC Symmetrix
[02:01] <itnet7> Oh, and still the primary engineer for vmware :-)
[02:02] <itnet7> ;-)
[02:02] <itnet7> I should try to apply for at least one or two of them
[02:04] <itnet7> govatent how far are you guys from: 8200 NW 41st Street Suite 400 Miami,Florida 33166
[02:05] <govatent> my house?
[02:05] <itnet7> Yeah... just curious
[02:05] <govatent> 35 miles roughly 
[02:05] <govatent> depending on route taken and then traffic in the morning makes it close to a one hour drive 
[02:06] <itnet7> Wow!
[02:06] <govatent> if not a bit more depending on the day 
[02:06] <govatent> the cafe was like 40 miles for me 
[02:06] <govatent> each way 
[02:06] <itnet7> I guess I might try and get a room close to the place. I'll let you know if it works out in case you want to hang out some 
[02:06] <itnet7> Wow! govatent I never realized that
[02:06] <govatent> i can offer a room here, just mind the times and driving 
[02:07] <itnet7> Sure
[02:07] <itnet7> Thanks!
[02:07] <govatent> miami is still another world from my town 
[02:07] <govatent> even though our cities are very close 
[02:07] <govatent> if you wanna look up a reference, use 33351 as a zip to your address 
[02:07] <govatent> it gives you all the routes you can take in the morning 
[02:08] <govatent> most of which require tools 
[02:08] <govatent> tolls
[02:08] <govatent> are you familiar with emc data domain?
[02:08] <itnet7> Yes
[02:09] <govatent> that's what we have at my place. but i don't manage it
[02:09] <govatent> i do have access to make changes, but i stay away from it cause i've never learned it
[02:09] <govatent> if i need major changes, i go to my co worker 
[02:10] <itnet7> I may have some training materials on it
[02:11] <itnet7> I have ddboost licensing and use DataDomain as my vRanger backup target for all of my vm's
[02:12] <itnet7> with an off-site DataDomain that the primary replicates to for DR
[02:12] <govatent> there is so much i have to learn 
[02:12] <itnet7> We also have Isilon and recovery point
[02:13] <govatent> we just lost our exchange server 2 weeks ago 
[02:13] <govatent> it was an old 2003 box running 07 exchange 
[02:14] <govatent> my boss's boss decided to force the company into office 365. 
[02:14] <govatent> manual export of psts, then upload of psts of about 450 users world wide with 2.5 tb of emails 
[02:14] <govatent> forward two weeks, we are still at it with all sorts of problems 
[02:15] <govatent> they should have just spun up a new exchange box and did a local data migration 
[02:15] <govatent> but NOOOOOOO
[02:15] <govatent> now i hate my job more then ever, and microsoft even more then i ever did 
[02:16] <govatent> and some users who are uploading data, are in remote parts of the world like islands and africa or parts of europe/asia where internet is less usable 
[02:16] <govatent> makes for a fun time
[03:08] <mhall119> itnet7: jose: did some work on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/VerificationApplication2014
[03:08] <itnet7> Awesome thanks jose  \0/
[03:09]  * itnet7 neglecting schoolwork in favor of update resume
[03:09] <itnet7> ;-)
[03:15] <mhall119> jose: should pictures be on the verification page, or the main team page?
