[02:01] so I added the item [02:01] #topic Upcoming events, are we participating? [02:01] item? [02:01] we have two big things coming up: [02:01] ok. [02:01] UbuntuGlobalJam September 12-14 [02:01] Software Freedom Day September 20th [02:01] so far I haven't heard much about us doing either [02:01] I think jyo was thinking about doing something for the jam though [02:01] (I'll be on the wrong side of the country during it) [02:02] any thoughts? [02:02] Where is the SFD going on? [02:02] any coordination with fedora folk regarding 9/20? [02:03] California seems empty UbuntuGlobalJam September 12-14 [02:03] grr [02:03] http://softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2014 [02:03] Title: [SFD 2014 Map: Find an event in your area!] [02:03] not to say none exist, but on the official site where events can register, there aren't any [02:04] sounds like a first [02:04] Just found that..thanks [02:04] DonkeyHotei: no coordination with anyone so far, if you know of Fedora folks doing something, please do chat with them :) [02:04] So we would have to host one? [02:05] yeah, unless we find a LUG or other group already doing something [02:05] Roguehorse: it might be nice [02:06] I'm always game for doing stuff I just stink at the coordination [02:06] Roguehorse: find a friend and help out with coordination. You'd be surprised how quickly you learn. :) [02:06] * nhaines vaguely remembers SCALE6X.... [02:07] i attended scale6x [02:08] nhaines: Everyone in my LUG says they're too busy to help with anything...thus very slow progress [02:08] your lug meets in a busy area [02:08] I guess [02:09] Roguehorse: any LoCo members nearby? [02:10] 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) [02:11] SFSU usually does an SFD event [02:11] I'll ping sameer [02:11] o/ [02:11] speaking of Grant [02:13] grantbow: thanks [02:14] anything happening in socal? [02:15] Not that I know of. I need to check with OCLUG on the status of the next installfest. [02:16] grantbow: You want to work together to put on a SFD? [02:16] nhaines: sounds good [02:16] philipballew: anything in SD? [02:16] pleia2, for sfd? [02:17] philipballew: or ugj [02:17] Roguehorse I'll help coordinate if you want to lead up an effort and attend. [02:18] grantbow: Ok..we can talk after the meeting [02:18] 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] ok [02:18] philipballew: cool [02:19] I'll try to remember to take pictures or both and shoot out a blog or two [02:19] philipballew: please do! [02:19] Roguehorse: if you were at the 14.04 launch, we probably met [02:20] #topic Any other business [02:20] Quallcomm still will not put up my ubuntu meetup flyer's at their office. [02:20] that's all we had for agenda items, anyone else have anything? [02:20] Utopic release party planning? [02:21] i think it's a bit early [02:21] DonkeyHotei: trust me, it isn't [02:22] not early, we need to pin down a venue pretty early, it's only 2 months away [02:22] October 23rd is release [02:22] oh. [02:22] I'll be in the wrong part of the world again [02:23] ...don't you have some sort of assigned "second" for when you're traveling? [02:23] hehe [02:23] Roguehorse: how 'bout he.net as a venue? [02:25] I think we probably could...I would have to ask first (obviously) [02:26] another possibility might be noisebridge [02:28] I stopped doing them there because the feedback wasn't great (venue was hot, dirty) [02:28] but it's been a while since I've been [02:29] citizenspace.us has offered us space, and we can always ask Mozilla or AdRoll again [02:30] so I think we have a lot of options in SF, just need folks to coordinate something [02:30] ooh...I'd like to look inside Mozilla, that would be cool [02:31] they have a pretty cool community space at their office on the Embarcadero [02:31] nice [02:31] 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 ;) [02:32] so I'm happy to put folks in touch as needed, even if I can't attend myself [02:32] well, between parenting, school, eblug and working with Grant on SFD - I'm pretty tapped [02:33] Roguehorse: Definitely better to pace yourself. :) [02:33] 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? [02:35] Roguehorse: or the kids. [02:35] Although we always made SCALE a family event. :) [02:35] SCALE 13x info available at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale13x -- it's scheduled for *four* days this time. [02:35] Title: [SCALE 13x | scale13x] [02:36] eps: wow :) [02:36] yeah, he wants to come with Daddy but he gets boired real easy [02:36] still owrking on that [02:36] :-( fat fingers [02:36] Aw. :) Well, nothing a 3DS can't fix once he's participated a bit. [02:37] it's ok, I bring my 3DS too [02:37] ;) [02:37] we'll see, it's almost time to start bringing him too [02:38] pleia2: StreetPass tags! \o/ [02:38] \o/ [02:38] ??? [02:39] 3DS speak [02:39] ok, anything else? [02:39] Ah [02:40] Planning for SCALE? [02:41] crickets [02:41] Yeah, think it was just those two topics [02:41] Put it on a future agenda. ;-) [02:41] scale does take planning [02:43] eps: wfm [02:43] next meeting we should also chat about leadership elections for the coming year too [02:43] but I think that's it for tonight :) [02:44] thanks all [02:44] #endmeeting [02:44] Meeting ended Mon Aug 25 02:44:06 2014 UTC. [02:44] Minutes: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2014/ubuntu-us-ca.2014-08-25-02.00.moin.txt [02:44] yw [02:44] yw [02:44] troyready: you missed it [02:45] Alas :) [02:45] * Roguehorse has been there [02:45] I plan to be at SCALE next year. :) [02:45] Roguehorse: did we meet? [02:46] LOL! no, was response to troyready missing the meeting [02:46] Oh! [02:46] nhaines: would love to though if I ever make it that way [02:47] 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] it's probably my favorite one in the world [02:47] Hmm...sounds like a "must plan" type thing [02:48] i may actually attend this time, finances permitting [02:48] the hotel bill is the big obstacle at this point [02:48] what's that run? [02:49] Depends how many ways you split it. [02:49] 120 or so a night if you stay at the conference hotel [02:49] and where you stay [02:49] I could sleep in a bathtub [02:49] 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] The conference hotel is worth it, but the Travellodge across the street is also very adequate. [02:49] i used to do those things *sigh* [02:50] I usually don't sleep at the conference hotel unless I'm speaking. Then I figure why worry about one more thing? [02:50] so travel, food and lodging could be $500? [02:51] Lodging will probably be your major expense. [02:51] accommodation of choice for me (finances permitting) would be the cockatoo inn, which is actually closer to the previous venue [02:51] anyone else interested in working through http://codeschool.io ? [02:51] Error opening URL: [Errno -2] Name or service not known [02:51] bot bug [02:53] oops, no, brain bug. http://nodeschool.io [02:53] [R: nodeschool.io] Title: [nodeschool.io] [03:03] I need to do the EDX Linux course still. [03:11] nhaines: I'm through 6 but haven't made it back [03:12] It's cool...pretty simple [03:13] I think I read the first chapter just to see how it started but intended to get back to it and never did. [03:15] well, it doesn't expire so no worries [03:22] Yup. I'd just like to be able to recommend it more efficiently. And hey, I might learn something! [03:24] 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 [03:40] There aren't enough of those simple beginning introduction classes. :) [03:41] right ;-) [03:42] I was going to start my CompTA A+ but the guys in my LUG said forget that I go after the LPIC1 instead [03:47] That would definitely be more focused. I did A+ back in... 2001. === 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 [03:56] 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] These days there are a lot of certs I want to achieve [03:59] Well, A+ can be good too. But they don't always count for much. Depends on the job. [04:34] doh forgot meeting [04:36] yey! === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [19:45] 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] with a modern like haswell processor it would get better battery life but still be heavy [19:46] I find the problem is places like hospitals aren't built big enough for the laptop not the laptop is too big [19:48] I miss 12-cell batteries. [19:48] batteries of any kind are the devil's work
