[01:00] Hello everyone [01:00] We're ready to start the September meeting. [01:00] Anyone else here for the meeting? [01:01] i am [01:01] actually here. you know. for once. [01:01] Awesome. :) [01:04] OT: Rayman Jungle Run takes up a lot of space. [01:05] Good evening [01:05] howdy waldo323 [01:06] Hello! [01:06] Wow, we actually have quorum. [01:06] I think I missed the first minute of the meeting [01:06] we need three? [01:06] That shouldn't surprise me. [01:06] * waldo323 gives out apologies [01:06] gamerchick02: Well, it's nice to not be talking to myself for an hour. :) [01:06] hah! [01:06] waldo323: no apologies necessary. [01:06] it's only bad if you answer yourself, cmaloney. [01:08] I think it's only bad if you disagree with yourself. [01:09] Anywho, here's the agenda: [01:09] hah! [01:09] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/764/detail/ [01:09] The only item that we have at the moment is the Ubuntu Global Jam [01:09] Which is next weekend. [01:09] ooo i'm gonna be here all weekend [01:10] here as in at my apartment. [01:10] i can participate. :) [01:10] or at least be in IRC [01:10] Awesome. [01:10] I think we're going to do the online version of the Ubuntu Global Jam again [01:10] cool [01:11] Unless someone would like to attempt to schedule up something for folks to get together and jam [01:11] i like the online version. [01:12] no travel and i can attend in my pjs if i want. plus i can cook and chat at the same time. :) [01:12] Online is good [01:12] virtual is fine [01:12] yay! [01:12] I'm going to be all over I think and the internet cloud is everywhere or near enough [01:13] it is. [01:14] should i prep an ubuntu drive? i don't currently have an install. (whoops!) [01:15] ubuntu Drive? [01:15] a thumb drive or partition [01:15] IS that something similar to a Windows Roundabout? [01:16] HEh [01:16] lol [01:16] You can if you want. [01:16] i'm a bad linux user... currently running OSX on the macbook and windows 8 on the desktop. [01:16] Will we be mostly looking for bugs? [01:18] We can do bug tracking, or documentation, or Ask Ubuntu trolling [01:18] i'm good for any of those. i should dust off my askubuntu account [01:21] OK, so we'll do something online during that weekend. [01:22] I'll send out a note to the mailing list and the Google Plus community about the Global Jam. [01:22] sweet, thank you [01:22] a good reminder [01:23] The only other item that I had for discussion was Ohio Linuxfest [01:23] 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] which means we're not doing a booth. :) [01:24] geez [01:27] Yeah. [01:27] Anyone planning on coming to OLF? [01:29] 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] putting it together, i mean [01:30] I can't manage going this year either--I've got two things going on in Ann Arbor === sellers is now known as cgseller [01:31] Understandable. === cgseller1 is now known as cgseller [01:32] I'm planning on going, so if anyone wants to meet up down there I'll be there. :) [01:33] Anywho, that's about all I have. [01:33] Anything else we should cover? [01:33] Not that I know of. [01:33] i don't have anything. [01:38] OK, thank you everyone for coming out! [01:38] Thanks, Craig. [01:40] 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] _stink_: I just used my local print [02:43] 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] I used Vistaprit for the Ubuntu MI cards [03:31] 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] _stink_: Like expedited shipping [13:08] Apparently work is running on generators [13:08] so no AC [13:09] Does that make a shirt-optional day? [13:09] open a window. It's not hot outside. :-p [13:10] its cold outside here. I'm all bundled up with my open windows. [13:11] jrwren_: Very good advice: protect yourself when you have Windows up. [13:11] ++ [13:11] brousch_: hahahahaha [13:12] cmaloney: if you're hot, just walk into the server room. That should fix that. [13:12] I think that was a fake laugh [13:12] That was a real laugh! [13:14] On a side note: why do people consider unintentional laughter "real" and intentional laughter "fake"? That doesn't quite make sense. [13:20] Yeah, I'm wondering if I should pack up and try working from home [13:32] Never a bad idea. [13:33] Unfortunately the remote network to my machine from home is slower than shit. [13:34] not sure what's the issue. === ColonelPanic002_ is now known as ColonelPanic001 [14:41] Detroit http://www.freep.com/article/20140905/NEWS01/309050185/Detroit-fire-pop-can-fax [14:43] -That's insane. [14:44] OCP is not looking so bad now [15:00] Nice product placement for Faygo, there. [15:03] I'm sure they drink nothing but Faygo there [15:03] hell, it's probably donated. [15:26] 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] Any good? [15:28] I'll watch episode 2. [15:28] Its scifi cop action, and I'm pretty tired of those. [15:29] Its got a great cast. And it doesn't lie about Vancouver, they actually claim to be there! [15:29] heh [15:51] ok, so, what is OCP? [15:59] What? How can you live in Detroit and not know robocop? [15:59] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_(franchise)#Omni_Consumer_Products [16:07] 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] in the movie OCP bought the city and didn't adequately fund the police. [16:16] I wonder if Detroit has thought about using dead cops as a back-up police force. [16:17] Wouldn't have to pay pensions / benefits. [16:35] cmaloney: for some reason my mind went to ghosts, not robots. [16:36] zombies would also work [17:07] Why not? They use dead voters...
