[01:00] <cmaloney> Hello everyone
[01:00] <cmaloney> We're ready to start the September meeting.
[01:00] <cmaloney> Anyone else here for the meeting?
[01:01] <gamerchick02> i am
[01:01] <gamerchick02> actually here. you know. for once.
[01:01] <cmaloney> Awesome. :)
[01:04] <gamerchick02> OT: Rayman Jungle Run takes up a lot of space.
[01:05] <waldo323> Good evening
[01:05] <gamerchick02> howdy waldo323
[01:06] <cmaloney> Hello!
[01:06] <cmaloney> Wow, we actually have quorum.
[01:06] <waldo323> I think I missed the first minute of the meeting
[01:06] <gamerchick02> we need three?
[01:06] <cmaloney> That shouldn't surprise me.
[01:06]  * waldo323 gives out apologies
[01:06] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: Well, it's nice to not be talking to myself for an hour. :)
[01:06] <gamerchick02> hah!
[01:06] <cmaloney> waldo323: no apologies necessary.
[01:06] <gamerchick02> it's only bad if you answer yourself, cmaloney.
[01:08] <cmaloney> I think it's only bad if you disagree with yourself.
[01:09] <cmaloney> Anywho, here's the agenda:
[01:09] <gamerchick02> hah!
[01:09] <cmaloney> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/764/detail/
[01:09] <cmaloney> The only item that we have at the moment is the Ubuntu Global Jam
[01:09] <cmaloney> Which is next weekend.
[01:09] <gamerchick02> ooo i'm gonna be here all weekend
[01:10] <gamerchick02> here as in at my apartment.
[01:10] <gamerchick02> i can participate. :)
[01:10] <gamerchick02> or at least be in IRC
[01:10] <cmaloney> Awesome.
[01:10] <cmaloney> I think we're going to do the online version of the Ubuntu Global Jam again
[01:10] <gamerchick02> cool
[01:11] <cmaloney> Unless someone would like to attempt to schedule up something for folks to get together and jam
[01:11] <gamerchick02> i like the online version.
[01:12] <gamerchick02> no travel and i can attend in my pjs if i want. plus i can cook and chat at the same time. :)
[01:12] <waldo323> Online is good
[01:12] <jsjgruber-x> virtual is fine
[01:12] <gamerchick02> yay!
[01:12] <waldo323> I'm going to be all over I think and the internet cloud is everywhere or near enough
[01:13] <gamerchick02> it is.
[01:14] <gamerchick02> should i prep an ubuntu drive? i don't currently have an install. (whoops!)
[01:15] <cmaloney> ubuntu Drive?
[01:15] <gamerchick02> a thumb drive or partition
[01:15] <cmaloney> IS that something similar to a Windows Roundabout?
[01:16] <cmaloney> HEh
[01:16] <gamerchick02> lol
[01:16] <cmaloney> You can if you want.
[01:16] <gamerchick02> i'm a bad linux user... currently running OSX on the macbook and windows 8 on the desktop.
[01:16] <jsjgruber-x> Will we be mostly looking for bugs?
[01:18] <cmaloney> We can do bug tracking, or documentation, or Ask Ubuntu trolling
[01:18] <gamerchick02> i'm good for any of those. i should dust off my askubuntu account
[01:21] <cmaloney> OK, so we'll do something online during that weekend.
[01:22] <cmaloney> I'll send out a note to the mailing list and the Google Plus community about the Global Jam.
[01:22] <gamerchick02> sweet, thank you
[01:22] <gamerchick02> a good reminder
[01:23] <cmaloney> The only other item that I had for discussion was Ohio Linuxfest
[01:23] <cmaloney> Apparently the Ohio folks aren't getting a booth this year, and the rules for the booths (afaik) require about $100 to rent one
[01:23] <cmaloney> which means we're not doing a booth. :)
[01:24] <gamerchick02> geez
[01:27] <cmaloney> Yeah.
[01:27] <cmaloney> Anyone planning on coming to OLF?
[01:29] <gamerchick02> i don't think i am. that's getting close to our Christmas Bazaar and i need to work on the box of jewelry that is on my mom's end table.
[01:29] <gamerchick02> putting it together, i mean
[01:30] <jsjgruber-x> I can't manage going this year either--I've got two things going on in Ann Arbor
[01:31] <cmaloney> Understandable.
[01:32] <cmaloney> I'm planning on going, so if anyone wants to meet up down there I'll be there. :)
[01:33] <cmaloney> Anywho, that's about all I have.
[01:33] <cmaloney> Anything else we should cover?
[01:33] <jsjgruber-x> Not that I know of.
[01:33] <gamerchick02> i don't have anything.
[01:38] <cmaloney> OK, thank you everyone for coming out!
[01:38] <jsjgruber-x> Thanks, Craig.
[01:40] <gamerchick02> you're welcome. thanks for running the meeting.
[02:41] <_stink_> anyone here have a recommendation for printing business cards?  I want a pretty small number (like 100-200 maybe?)
[02:42] <_stink_> whether it's some new fangled internet company or brick and mortar near royal oak doesn't matter to me.
[02:43] <rick_h_> _stink_: I just used my local print
[02:43] <rick_h_> probably wasn't the cheapest for fastest but nice folks and it was 400ft from my front door
[02:53] <_stink_> ok cool
[02:53] <_stink_> there's a place on 14 mile here i'll try if nothing better comes up
[02:54] <_stink_> thanks
[03:30] <cmaloney> I used Vistaprit for the Ubuntu MI cards
[03:31] <cmaloney> they try to upsell you on shipping but they're local
[03:34] <_stink_> like expedited shipping?
[03:34] <_stink_> or like in a gold box?
[09:41] <cmaloney> _stink_: Like expedited shipping
[13:08] <cmaloney> Apparently work is running on generators
[13:08] <cmaloney> so no AC
[13:09] <brousch_> Does that make a shirt-optional day?
[13:09] <wolfger> open a window. It's not hot outside. :-p
[13:10] <jrwren_> its cold outside here. I'm all bundled up with my open windows.
[13:11] <brousch_> jrwren_: Very good advice: protect yourself when you have Windows up.
[13:11] <wolfger> ++
[13:11] <jrwren_> brousch_: hahahahaha
[13:12] <wolfger> cmaloney: if you're hot, just walk into the server room. That should fix that.
[13:12] <brousch_> I think that was a fake laugh
 That was a real laugh! </rocket>
[13:14] <wolfger> On a side note: why do people consider unintentional laughter "real" and intentional laughter "fake"? That doesn't quite make sense.
[13:20] <cmaloney> Yeah, I'm wondering if I should pack up and try working from home
[13:32] <wolfger> Never a bad idea.
[13:33] <cmaloney> Unfortunately the remote network to my machine from home is slower than shit.
[13:34] <cmaloney> not sure what's the issue.
[14:41] <brousch_> Detroit http://www.freep.com/article/20140905/NEWS01/309050185/Detroit-fire-pop-can-fax
[14:43] <cmaloney> -That's insane.
[14:44] <brousch_> OCP is not looking so bad now
[15:00] <wolfger> Nice product placement for Faygo, there.
[15:03] <cmaloney> I'm sure they drink nothing but Faygo there
[15:03] <cmaloney> hell, it's probably donated.
[15:26] <jrwren_> I watched the first episode of Continuum last night, the 2012 tv show, not the 90s tv show. It makes OCP look friendly.
[15:28] <brousch_> Any good?
[15:28] <jrwren_> I'll watch episode 2.
[15:28] <jrwren_> Its scifi cop action, and I'm pretty tired of those.
[15:29] <jrwren_> Its got a great cast. And it doesn't lie about Vancouver, they actually claim to be there!
[15:29] <brousch_> heh
[15:51] <wolfger> ok, so, what is OCP?
[15:59] <brousch_> What? How can you live in Detroit and not know robocop?
[15:59] <brousch_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_(franchise)#Omni_Consumer_Products
[16:07] <wolfger> Got it. I just totally lost the context when it was first compared to the Detroit Fire Department, and then to a TV show.
[16:14] <jrwren_> in the movie OCP bought the city and didn't adequately fund the police.
[16:16] <cmaloney> I wonder if Detroit has thought about using dead cops as a back-up police force.
[16:17] <cmaloney> Wouldn't have to pay pensions / benefits.
[16:35] <jrwren_> cmaloney: for some reason my mind went to ghosts, not robots.
[16:36] <cmaloney> zombies would also work
[17:07] <wolfger> Why not? They use dead voters...
