| === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: The IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | General Technical Support is **NOT** offered here. Please consult #ubuntu #xubuntu #kubuntu #lubuntu #ubuntu-gnome #edubuntu #ubuntustudio or #ubuntu+1 instead | Severe Weather Alerts in ##weather-us-oh | Verified until 2015-11-19 | Not only no UbuCon but there were no "general call" proposals to talk Ubuntu for OLF 2014 | ||
| skellat | Yes, we will not be presenting UbuCon at OLF 2014 | 02:39 |
| skellat | Yes, I just found out that there is shockingly no Ubuntu-related content even proposed for presentation at OLF 2014 | 02:40 |
| skellat | I will be writing more about this later on Monday | 02:40 |
| belkinsa | It's a shame that the USA LoCo's are dieing or dead. | 13:07 |
| belkinsa | Sigh. | 13:07 |
| yano | aww | 14:01 |
| belkinsa | Though I might try something in a few weeks once school starts. | 14:07 |
| dzho | LoCo was always an awkward fit for the US, seems to me, since a lot of the focus of the effort originally was localization, and localization for the big English-speaking countries, while still a necessary job, isn't nearly so big a job relative to population size as it might be for less-commonly used languages. | 16:02 |
| * dzho wonders about a compare-contrast with locos in .ca, .uk, .au, .nz, .za, .sg . . . | 16:03 | |
| belkinsa | Well, what I think what the English-speaking ones are meant for is to socialize and see what others are doing. But it seems not. | 16:03 |
| belkinsa | dzho, that would be wrothwhile do that. | 16:03 |
| dzho | my hope was that it would form as an umbrella 501(c)3 but that hope was dashed early on. | 16:03 |
| dzho | local FLOSS/LUGs still sort of struggle along with out much organizational support at all. | 16:04 |
| dzho | I think there's a perception, perhaps a subconscious one even, that the corporate calvary had arrived and that Everything Would Be OK Now with regard to Linux/FLOSS support and promotion. | 16:05 |
| dzho | and I really don't think that's true. FLOSS/Linux is still way outgunned in terms of promotion and support and organization. | 16:06 |
| dzho | it's a different facet of tragedy-of-the-commons from what's happened with eg OpenSSL | 16:07 |
| thafreak | I dunno...I keep using ubunt | 16:11 |
| thafreak | but I don't feel like talking about ubuntu | 16:11 |
| dzho | belkinsa: And while I think that's true, one might read that as me "blaming" Canonical or something, but that's not how I see it. I think Canonical is in the same tough situation Microsoft is in, with the move of consumer devices from desktop+laptop to phone+tablet | 16:11 |
| belkinsa | It's starting to happen to me too... | 16:11 |
| thafreak | Every time i go to a meetup, people just want to talk about deskop choices and talk about how they like this UI or hate that one | 16:11 |
| dzho | thafreak: yeah, I've never been that intense about Ubuntu as such, but that seems to have been what the whole structure of the LoCo wanted from us. | 16:12 |
| thafreak | everyone seems focused on the desktop though | 16:12 |
| dzho | thafreak: everyone | 16:12 |
| dzho | ? | 16:12 |
| dzho | you mean, everyone in LoCos? | 16:12 |
| thafreak | I've not been to a meeting where people talked about juju or MAAS or anything cool | 16:12 |
| dzho | ah | 16:12 |
| thafreak | yeah sorry | 16:13 |
| thafreak | So I stopped going to things...I now focus on groups like devops meetings | 16:13 |
| thafreak | where they're not necessarily ubuntu people, but atleast they don't talk about desktops all day | 16:13 |
| dzho | thafreak: devopscle? | 16:13 |
| dzho | any others? | 16:13 |
| thafreak | And I'm only really an ubuntu user because debian propper tends to not work for me | 16:14 |
| thafreak | yeah, devopscle | 16:14 |
| thafreak | I'm also trying to make it to more programming meetups too | 16:14 |
| thafreak | I was just setting up a new VM to use as sort of the place where I ssh to from anywhere | 16:15 |
| thafreak | where I write code, run tmux, irssi, all the stuff from | 16:15 |
| thafreak | Went with jessie initially...ended up re-installing and going with trusty | 16:15 |
| thafreak | I use NFS for my home dir, jessie was hanging on reboot | 16:16 |
| thafreak | I spent a few hours trying to figure out what was wrong, then got pissed and re-installed trusty | 16:16 |
| thafreak | I just wanted things to work as expected | 16:16 |
| thafreak | Now, it was a minor problem, everything else worked fine...and I don't really reboot the machine ever | 16:17 |
| thafreak | but still | 16:17 |
| thafreak | I didn't like that it would hang indefinitely on reboot | 16:17 |
| thafreak | also, it hung for like a minute on boot "populating /dev"...trusty didn't | 16:17 |
| thafreak | but, that's where I come from...loco's don't really suite me. I don't tend to meet people who use NFS for their home dir :) | 16:18 |
| Unit193 | skellat: Re; Email. Care to take? I believe you know more of the possible speakers than I did. | 20:12 |
| cyberanger | possible speakers... | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, they'd like a list of speakers/presentations that we were able to come up with. | 20:17 |
| cyberanger | skellat: and I should be on that list afaik | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | Great! | 20:21 |
