| darthrobot` | Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/14August24 - Ubuntu Wiki] | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | agenda! | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | so I added the item | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | #topic Upcoming events, are we participating? | 02:01 |
| DonkeyHotei | item? | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | we have two big things coming up: | 02:01 |
| DonkeyHotei | ok. | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | UbuntuGlobalJam September 12-14 | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | Software Freedom Day September 20th | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | so far I haven't heard much about us doing either | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | I think jyo was thinking about doing something for the jam though | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | (I'll be on the wrong side of the country during it) | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | any thoughts? | 02:02 |
| Roguehorse | Where is the SFD going on? | 02:02 |
| DonkeyHotei | any coordination with fedora folk regarding 9/20? | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | California seems empty UbuntuGlobalJam September 12-14 | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | grr | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | http://softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2014 | 02:03 |
| darthrobot` | Title: [SFD 2014 Map: Find an event in your area!] | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | not to say none exist, but on the official site where events can register, there aren't any | 02:03 |
| DonkeyHotei | sounds like a first | 02:04 |
| Roguehorse | Just found that..thanks | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | DonkeyHotei: no coordination with anyone so far, if you know of Fedora folks doing something, please do chat with them :) | 02:04 |
| Roguehorse | So we would have to host one? | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, unless we find a LUG or other group already doing something | 02:05 |
| DonkeyHotei | Roguehorse: it might be nice | 02:05 |
| Roguehorse | I'm always game for doing stuff I just stink at the coordination | 02:06 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: find a friend and help out with coordination. You'd be surprised how quickly you learn. :) | 02:06 |
| * nhaines vaguely remembers SCALE6X.... | 02:06 | |
| DonkeyHotei | i attended scale6x | 02:07 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: Everyone in my LUG says they're too busy to help with anything...thus very slow progress | 02:08 |
| DonkeyHotei | your lug meets in a busy area | 02:08 |
| Roguehorse | I guess | 02:08 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: any LoCo members nearby? | 02:09 |
| Roguehorse | Don't know.....I've only made it to one gig so far...14.04 launch. I think Grant lives nearby though (or not far) | 02:10 |
| grantbow | SFSU usually does an SFD event | 02:11 |
| grantbow | I'll ping sameer | 02:11 |
| rww | o/ | 02:11 |
| Roguehorse | speaking of Grant | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | grantbow: thanks | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | anything happening in socal? | 02:14 |
| nhaines | Not that I know of. I need to check with OCLUG on the status of the next installfest. | 02:15 |
| Roguehorse | grantbow: You want to work together to put on a SFD? | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: sounds good | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: anything in SD? | 02:16 |
| philipballew | pleia2, for sfd? | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: or ugj | 02:17 |
| grantbow | Roguehorse I'll help coordinate if you want to lead up an effort and attend. | 02:17 |
| Roguehorse | grantbow: Ok..we can talk after the meeting | 02:18 |
| philipballew | I am planning a ubuntu hour that I will call a ubuntu global jam where I show people how to report and file bugs. As for Software Freedom Day, I am speaking on open source stuff at the one in Tijuana Mexico, just over the border. | 02:18 |
| grantbow | ok | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: cool | 02:18 |
| philipballew | I'll try to remember to take pictures or both and shoot out a blog or two | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: please do! | 02:19 |
| DonkeyHotei | Roguehorse: if you were at the 14.04 launch, we probably met | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | #topic Any other business | 02:20 |
| philipballew | Quallcomm still will not put up my ubuntu meetup flyer's at their office. | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | that's all we had for agenda items, anyone else have anything? | 02:20 |
| eps | Utopic release party planning? | 02:20 |
| DonkeyHotei | i think it's a bit early | 02:21 |
| eps | DonkeyHotei: trust me, it isn't | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | not early, we need to pin down a venue pretty early, it's only 2 months away | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | October 23rd is release | 02:22 |
| DonkeyHotei | oh. | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | I'll be in the wrong part of the world again | 02:22 |
| Roguehorse | ...don't you have some sort of assigned "second" for when you're traveling? | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 02:23 |
| DonkeyHotei | Roguehorse: how 'bout he.net as a venue? | 02:23 |
| Roguehorse | I think we probably could...I would have to ask first (obviously) | 02:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | another possibility might be noisebridge | 02:26 |
| pleia2 | I stopped doing them there because the feedback wasn't great (venue was hot, dirty) | 02:28 |
| pleia2 | but it's been a while since I've been | 02:28 |
| pleia2 | citizenspace.us has offered us space, and we can always ask Mozilla or AdRoll again | 02:29 |
| pleia2 | so I think we have a lot of options in SF, just need folks to coordinate something | 02:30 |
| Roguehorse | ooh...I'd like to look inside Mozilla, that would be cool | 02:30 |
| pleia2 | they have a pretty cool community space at their office on the Embarcadero | 02:31 |
| Roguehorse | nice | 02:31 |
| pleia2 | I reached out to them for our 14.04 party, but they took forever to reply so I gave up on them for that event, but have since been promised prompter replies ;) | 02:31 |
| pleia2 | so I'm happy to put folks in touch as needed, even if I can't attend myself | 02:32 |
| Roguehorse | well, between parenting, school, eblug and working with Grant on SFD - I'm pretty tapped | 02:32 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: Definitely better to pace yourself. :) | 02:33 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: I like to be community active but it's not fair to the wife for me to be gone all the time ya know? | 02:33 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: or the kids. | 02:35 |
| nhaines | Although we always made SCALE a family event. :) | 02:35 |
| eps | SCALE 13x info available at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale13x -- it's scheduled for *four* days this time. | 02:35 |
| darthrobot` | Title: [SCALE 13x | scale13x] | 02:35 |
| pleia2 | eps: wow :) | 02:36 |
| Roguehorse | yeah, he wants to come with Daddy but he gets boired real easy | 02:36 |
| Roguehorse | still owrking on that | 02:36 |
| Roguehorse | :-( fat fingers | 02:36 |
| nhaines | Aw. :) Well, nothing a 3DS can't fix once he's participated a bit. | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | it's ok, I bring my 3DS too | 02:37 |
| pleia2 | ;) | 02:37 |
| Roguehorse | we'll see, it's almost time to start bringing him too | 02:37 |
| nhaines | pleia2: StreetPass tags! \o/ | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 02:38 |
| Roguehorse | ??? | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | 3DS speak | 02:39 |
| pleia2 | ok, anything else? | 02:39 |
| Roguehorse | Ah | 02:39 |
| eps | Planning for SCALE? | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | crickets | 02:41 |
| Roguehorse | Yeah, think it was just those two topics | 02:41 |
| eps | Put it on a future agenda. ;-) | 02:41 |
| DonkeyHotei | scale does take planning | 02:41 |
| pleia2 | eps: wfm | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | next meeting we should also chat about leadership elections for the coming year too | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | but I think that's it for tonight :) | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | thanks all | 02:44 |

| DonkeyHotei | yw | 02:44 |
| Roguehorse | yw | 02:44 |
| DonkeyHotei | troyready: you missed it | 02:44 |
| troyready | Alas :) | 02:45 |
| * Roguehorse has been there | 02:45 | |
| nhaines | I plan to be at SCALE next year. :) | 02:45 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: did we meet? | 02:45 |
| Roguehorse | LOL! no, was response to troyready missing the meeting | 02:46 |
| nhaines | Oh! | 02:46 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: would love to though if I ever make it that way | 02:46 |
| nhaines | It's a brilliant event. Feels like a fan convention, talks range from fun to super professional, and all booths, speakers, and attendees are just super friendly. | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | it's probably my favorite one in the world | 02:47 |
| Roguehorse | Hmm...sounds like a "must plan" type thing | 02:47 |
| DonkeyHotei | i may actually attend this time, finances permitting | 02:48 |
| DonkeyHotei | the hotel bill is the big obstacle at this point | 02:48 |
| Roguehorse | what's that run? | 02:48 |
| eps | Depends how many ways you split it. | 02:49 |
| pleia2 | 120 or so a night if you stay at the conference hotel | 02:49 |
| DonkeyHotei | and where you stay | 02:49 |
| Roguehorse | I could sleep in a bathtub | 02:49 |
| nhaines | I demonstrated Ubuntu on my phone to everyone, helped a 12yo kid who was trying to set up a dual boot but having uEFI issues, gave out DVDs to college kids... shamelessly offered sticker sheets and buttons to little kids. | 02:49 |
| nhaines | The conference hotel is worth it, but the Travellodge across the street is also very adequate. | 02:49 |
| DonkeyHotei | i used to do those things *sigh* | 02:49 |
| nhaines | I usually don't sleep at the conference hotel unless I'm speaking. Then I figure why worry about one more thing? | 02:50 |
| Roguehorse | so travel, food and lodging could be $500? | 02:50 |
| eps | Lodging will probably be your major expense. | 02:51 |
| DonkeyHotei | accommodation of choice for me (finances permitting) would be the cockatoo inn, which is actually closer to the previous venue | 02:51 |
| grantbow | anyone else interested in working through http://codeschool.io ? | 02:51 |
| darthrobot` | Error opening URL: [Errno -2] Name or service not known | 02:51 |
| grantbow | bot bug | 02:51 |
| grantbow | oops, no, brain bug. http://nodeschool.io | 02:53 |

| nhaines | I need to do the EDX Linux course still. | 03:03 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: I'm through 6 but haven't made it back | 03:11 |
| Roguehorse | It's cool...pretty simple | 03:12 |
| nhaines | I think I read the first chapter just to see how it started but intended to get back to it and never did. | 03:13 |
| Roguehorse | well, it doesn't expire so no worries | 03:15 |
| nhaines | Yup. I'd just like to be able to recommend it more efficiently. And hey, I might learn something! | 03:22 |
| Roguehorse | I think it's worth doing as an introduction thing...it's not a kernel class or anything like that..but for people just getting into Linux or have only been a short time it's good | 03:24 |
| nhaines | There aren't enough of those simple beginning introduction classes. :) | 03:40 |
| Roguehorse | right ;-) | 03:41 |
| Roguehorse | I was going to start my CompTA A+ but the guys in my LUG said forget that I go after the LPIC1 instead | 03:42 |
| nhaines | That would definitely be more focused. I did A+ back in... 2001. | 03:47 |
| === ChanServ 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: September 7th at 7PM PT | This channel is publicly logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic | ||
| Roguehorse | I was torn between the two but the A+ looked novel and intriguing. I've never studied for a cert of any kind before except refrigeration recovery | 03:56 |
| Roguehorse | These days there are a lot of certs I want to achieve | 03:56 |
| nhaines | Well, A+ can be good too. But they don't always count for much. Depends on the job. | 03:59 |
| ianorlin | doh forgot meeting | 04:34 |
| DonkeyHotei | yey! | 04:36 |
| === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 | ||
| ianorlin | ah having 5 hours of battery life on a 5 year old laptop is nice too bad I can't seem to find any with 12 cell batteries anymore | 19:45 |
| ianorlin | with a modern like haswell processor it would get better battery life but still be heavy | 19:45 |
| ianorlin | I find the problem is places like hospitals aren't built big enough for the laptop not the laptop is too big | 19:46 |
| nhaines | I miss 12-cell batteries. | 19:48 |
| DonkeyHotei | batteries of any kind are the devil's work | 19:48 |
