| c_smith | was the meeting at 5 or 6? | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| c_smith | freakin' a.... wifi cut out | 01:57 |
| wxlS5 | Hello folks | 02:23 |
| wxlS5 | having to be mobile here | 02:23 |
| wxlS5 | Hopefully meetingology will be behaving | 02:25 |
| c_smith | wxlS5: yup | 02:26 |
| * c_smith is here from a Chromebook | 02:27 | |
| wxlS5 | Oooh exciting | 02:27 |
| wxlS5 | incidentially i'm on a samsung galaxy s5 | 02:27 |
| wxlS5 | using a bluetooth keyboard to not have so many problems with typing :) | 02:27 |
| c_smith | I gathered as much from the "S5" part | 02:27 |
| c_smith | got Android 5.0 on my 2012 N7 (love being able to build AOSP from source then just pull in a Gapps zip others have built) | 02:28 |
| wxlS5 | Heh' | 02:29 |
| c_smith | welcome, polson8 | 02:29 |
| wxlS5 | I wish I had a touch target | 02:29 |
| c_smith | wxlS5: have you had the chance to check out Inbox by Google? | 02:29 |
| polson8 | thanks cody | 02:29 |
| wxlS5 | You mean the new gmail c_smith? | 02:30 |
| c_smith | wxlS5: bingo | 02:30 |
| wxlS5 | Eyah I likes it | 02:30 |
| wxlS5 | just need pgp | 02:30 |
| c_smith | it's neat, ain't it? and true. once that comes, I'll be a happy camper | 02:30 |
| c_smith | but it fits well with my AOSP build | 02:30 |
| wxlS5 | Me too | 02:31 |
| wxlS5 | I sent them feedback through the app | 02:31 |
| wxlS5 | oh | 02:31 |
| wxlS5 | It's time to | 02:31 |
| wxlS5 | #startmeeting | 02:31 |
| meetingology | Meeting started Fri Nov 7 02:31:34 2014 UTC. The chair is wxlS5. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. | 02:31 |
| meetingology | Available commands: action commands idea info link nick | 02:31 |
| c_smith | awesome. | 02:31 |
| wxlS5 | #chair wxlS5 | 02:32 |
| meetingology | Current chairs: wxlS5 | 02:32 |
| wxlS5 | #topic release parties and funding | 02:32 |
| wxlS5 | apparently the topic command doesn't have any feedback | 02:32 |
| wxlS5 | but it shows up in the logs | 02:32 |
| wxlS5 | anyways I had bkerensa give me a little update on what he thought a release party would cost | 02:33 |
| c_smith | I'd be willing to bet that COULD be added as a feature request. | 02:33 |
| wxlS5 | I ran that through the loco council | 02:33 |
| wxlS5 | yeah i'll file a bug XD | 02:33 |
| wxlS5 | Apparently the loco council would like to make sort of a standard | 02:33 |
| wxlS5 | there's apparently a site that ubuntu has for allocating donations for such purposes | 02:34 |
| wxlS5 | I linked that on the agenda | 02:34 |
| wxlS5 | so i'm going to try to see if I can get some funding going but it would be nice to know who, if anyone, is actually interested in hosting one | 02:34 |
| wxlS5 | they won't just write you a check unless it's for reimbursement | 02:35 |
| wxlS5 | so you kind of tell them "pay this much to this vendor" and so on | 02:35 |
| wxlS5 | SOOOO if anyone DOES want to do a release party, get in touch! | 02:35 |
| wxlS5 | i'll see if I can't get something going here in eugene | 02:35 |
| wxlS5 | So that's all I got to say on that | 02:36 |
| c_smith | I'll say I'd LIKE release parties to happen, whether I can attend is another thing | 02:36 |
| wxlS5 | Yeah I hear that | 02:36 |
| wxlS5 | well you can always poke around and see if you can find anyone that might be interested | 02:37 |
| wxlS5 | Usually people don't have the time, the money, or the organizational capacity/interest | 02:37 |
| c_smith | I'll ask Phil and jvlb tomorrow at the Ubuntu Hour about this | 02:37 |
| wxlS5 | sounds like we got the money covered so if we can fnid someone with the other two taken care of.. ;) | 02:37 |
| wxlS5 | sounds like a good plan! | 02:38 |
| wxlS5 | #nick c_smith | 02:38 |
| c_smith | ??? | 02:38 |
| wxlS5 | #action c_smith will see if we can find someone in Salem to do a release party | 02:38 |
| meetingology | ACTION: c_smith will see if we can find someone in Salem to do a release party | 02:38 |
| wxlS5 | apparently you're supposed to add chairs or nicks before doing actions | 02:38 |
| c_smith | I make no guaruntees. | 02:38 |
| wxlS5 | Thus "if":) | 02:39 |
| c_smith | also, Salem is rather small (compared to portland) so chances are slim. but I'll see about it | 02:39 |
| wxlS5 | well eugene is small relative to portland too | 02:39 |
| * wxlS5 shrugs | 02:39 | |
| c_smith | true, but Eugene has more venues than coffee shops | 02:39 |
| c_smith | *than just coffee shops | 02:40 |
| wxlS5 | my thinking is that our goal is not to unite the ubuntu contributors in oregon but also encourage new users and such | 02:40 |
| c_smith | makes sense. | 02:40 |
| wxlS5 | I figure it's a success even if we do no more than get a couple folks | 02:40 |
| wxlS5 | we'll see | 02:40 |
| c_smith | I'll also see how feasible it is to have a party at Borderlands Games. | 02:40 |
| wxlS5 | Oooh that would be cool | 02:41 |
| c_smith | this is all as time permits, though | 02:41 |
| wxlS5 | Understood | 02:41 |
| wxlS5 | which is why it's always good to delegate | 02:41 |
| wxlS5 | Anywho speaking of salem/ubuntu hour | 02:42 |
| c_smith | yep | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | #topic keeping the calendar updated | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | so if you look at the channel topic you can see i've linked us to the loco page | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | I guess I could have used the wiki page but I think it knid of needs an overhaul | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | I see the loco page as the contact/event page | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | a bulletin board if you will | 02:42 |
| wxlS5 | which I think is more appropriate to a loco | 02:43 |
| wxlS5 | pretty soon i'm going to get rid of that annoying planet feed in there | 02:43 |
| wxlS5 | then the next thing we need is more events | 02:43 |
| wxlS5 | i've been trying to at least add the monthly euglug talks | 02:43 |
| wxlS5 | but the more events we can put on there the better | 02:43 |
| c_smith | I had an entry for the Ubuntu Hours over a year ago, not sure how accurate it is now. | 02:44 |
| wxlS5 | if anyone knows of linux-related events or opportunities that we could use to get together/spread the word, the better | 02:44 |
| wxlS5 | I mean let me know | 02:44 |
| wxlS5 | In fact | 02:44 |
| wxlS5 | #nick wxl | 02:44 |
| c_smith | on that topic, there WAS someone who wanted to start the Salem LUG back up, don't think it ever made it past ambition | 02:45 |
| wxlS5 | #action wxl will figure out if we an add edit access to the calendar page | 02:45 |
| meetingology | ACTION: wxl will figure out if we an add edit access to the calendar page | 02:45 |
| wxlS5 | in the meawhile, i'll work on making the bimonthly ubuntu hour pages | 02:45 |
| wxlS5 | How many people show up at the hour? | 02:46 |
| c_smith | usually just me, phil and jvlb, but occasionally others | 02:46 |
| wxlS5 | Well that's better than nothing | 02:46 |
| c_smith | and even I'm not always there anymore (college) | 02:46 |
| c_smith | so often times it's just jvlb and phill | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | maybe you could call it "SLUG Ubuntu Hour" | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | if you call yourself a LUG, you must be :) | 02:47 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, that's an idea. | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | might attract some people that wouldn't show up normally | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | I mean I don't go to our LUG's "support meetings" | 02:47 |
| c_smith | Phil also does the Mac user group, so he might have some insight on that type of thing. | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | they usually consist of snacking and idle talk | 02:47 |
| wxlS5 | and I kind of don't have time for that :) | 02:47 |
| c_smith | lol kinda hour the Ubuntu Hours are. | 02:48 |
| wxlS5 | Right | 02:48 |
| wxlS5 | but the EUGLUG monthly talks are well attended | 02:48 |
| wxlS5 | I mean we had like 15 people show up for a talk about firefox's crash reporting tools | 02:48 |
| c_smith | this is giving me some stuff to bring up to them tomorrow. | 02:49 |
| wxlS5 | well good luck with that | 02:49 |
| wxlS5 | if I can help out in any way, let me know | 02:49 |
| c_smith | with any luck, we'll have at least one answer. | 02:49 |
| wxlS5 | :) | 02:49 |
| wxlS5 | well one from phill and one from jvlb XD | 02:49 |
| c_smith | yep | 02:50 |
| c_smith | question, though, and somewhat unrelated: have you gotten admin access to the FB and Google+ pages? | 02:50 |
| wxlS5 | So tl;dr on topic at hand, let me know of any relevant events even if they're just linux related | 02:50 |
| wxlS5 | also speaking of macs they're *nix at heart. We don't discriminate at our lug | 02:51 |
| c_smith | I'll do what research I can. | 02:51 |
| wxlS5 | I have access to fb (I replied to that guy that you did) | 02:51 |
| wxlS5 | I don't think I have access to g+ | 02:51 |
| wxlS5 | #action wxl will figure out how to access to the Google+ page | 02:51 |
| meetingology | ACTION: wxl will figure out how to access to the Google+ page | 02:51 |
| wxlS5 | I don't use facebook/g+ too much unfortunately | 02:52 |
| c_smith | alright. if you have a Google+ account, send me a link to your G+ profile after this and I'll try and get you hooked up | 02:52 |
| wxlS5 | Oh cool | 02:52 |
| wxlS5 | we don't have a twitter acct do we? | 02:52 |
| polson8 | there is one | 02:52 |
| c_smith | it's fairly unused anymore. but I used to put announcements every so often (the Google+ page) | 02:52 |
| polson8 | unless it was deleted in the last few months or something | 02:52 |
| wxlS5 | Ok i'll have to look into that too | 02:52 |
| c_smith | not sure how much the Twitter page is used, though | 02:53 |
| wxlS5 | #action wxl will make sure we have a twitter account and set it up to repost to facebook with selective tweets | 02:53 |
| meetingology | ACTION: wxl will make sure we have a twitter account and set it up to repost to facebook with selective tweets | 02:53 |
| wxlS5 | that ought to help some | 02:53 |
| wxlS5 | Ok next topic | 02:54 |
| wxlS5 | #topic Ubuntu Online Summit | 02:54 |
| wxlS5 | this is kind of a shot in the dark, but I wanted to see if anyone wanted to do an UOS session | 02:54 |
| wxlS5 | I talked to michael hall and he seemed to be into it agreeing that every loco should do one | 02:55 |
| wxlS5 | I know when lubuntu has done sessions in the past, we have gained contributors because of it | 02:55 |
| c_smith | I myself can't. | 02:55 |
| wxlS5 | subsequently, we may gain more members if we do something | 02:55 |
| wxlS5 | i'm already doing a lubuntu session on my lunch hour at work on thursday and I have things going on the other two days so I kind of can't | 02:56 |
| wxlS5 | but just saying it would be a good thing to do | 02:56 |
| wxlS5 | I could come up with content if someone wanted to do it | 02:56 |
| wxlS5 | putting it out there :) | 02:56 |
| wxlS5 | maybe someone reading the logs will be into it | 02:56 |
| wxlS5 | Next | 02:57 |
| wxlS5 | #topic marketing materials | 02:57 |
| c_smith | I'll point jvlb and phill to the logs so they can read them (though I have a feeling they already do so) | 02:57 |
| wxlS5 | Thanks :) | 02:57 |
| wxlS5 | I made a link on the agenda to the ppa that houses our marketing materials like logos and such | 02:58 |
| wxlS5 | I think we need to update them | 02:58 |
| wxlS5 | I got a plan for the logo | 02:58 |
| wxlS5 | I'll be honest I haven't even looked at the brochure but wanted to put the link out there to folks if anyone had ideas for updating them | 02:58 |
| wxlS5 | otherwise i'm going to get a bunch printed and make them available to folks | 02:59 |
| wxlS5 | I figure if we give them out to everyone in the loco they can stash some where they go | 02:59 |
| wxlS5 | schools, libraries, stores, rec. Centers etc. | 02:59 |
| c_smith | if you can get a hold of jvlb, he's the one who did the current brochures and logo | 03:00 |
| c_smith | he might be a ton of help | 03:00 |
| wxlS5 | Ideally it should be sufficient to give people a reason to check out ubuntu more and if they're already users, encourage them to join us :) | 03:00 |
| wxlS5 | oh that's great info | 03:00 |
| wxlS5 | #action wxl will track down jvlb about marketing materials | 03:01 |
| meetingology | ACTION: wxl will track down jvlb about marketing materials | 03:01 |
| wxlS5 | so anyways start thinking about where you might drop some off.. i'll post to the list when I have brochures available | 03:01 |
| wxlS5 | And lastly | 03:01 |
| polson8 | looks like the brochure has a link to ubuntu-oregon.org, which seems to be a "parked" domain | 03:01 |
| wxlS5 | Oh yeah that needs to be fixed | 03:01 |
| wxlS5 | I could register it or some other domain but hey i'm just a volunteer not a rich man :) | 03:02 |
| wxlS5 | so I want to get ubuntu to cover it but we need to become an approved loco first | 03:02 |
| wxlS5 | And that's why i'm trying to come up with all these other ideas for events and evangelism | 03:02 |
| wxlS5 | when we can show they've done the work, they'll get us a domain | 03:03 |
| polson8 | i got my domain for $10.99 :) | 03:03 |
| wxlS5 | Right right | 03:03 |
| polson8 | yeah the ideas sound good. anyway, i better let you carry on... | 03:04 |
| wxlS5 | and i'm sure ubuntu-oregon.org was cheap but then bkerensa (bless his heart) moved on | 03:04 |
| wxlS5 | and that's what i'm worried about taking it on by myself. It's not necessarily sustainable into the future | 03:04 |
| polson8 | perhaps for now, the link to the loco page or the wiki page will fit on the brochure? | 03:05 |
| wxlS5 | plus I understand that there's a general syntax to how they like to keep the domains and ubuntu-oregon.org is not it :) for consistency's sake it might be best to make it right | 03:05 |
| wxlS5 | yes or we can just make a short link to it | 03:06 |
| wxlS5 | v.gd/ubuntu-us-or perhaps | 03:06 |
| wxlS5 | #action wxl will make sure the contact information (e.g. URL) is correct on the brochure | 03:06 |
| meetingology | ACTION: wxl will make sure the contact information (e.g. URL) is correct on the brochure | 03:06 |
| wxlS5 | and last but not least | 03:06 |
| wxlS5 | #topic Linux Fest Northwest | 03:07 |
| wxlS5 | it's official: we're signed up to have a booth at LFNW in Washington in April next year | 03:07 |
| wxlS5 | so if anyone wants to join the fun, let me know! | 03:07 |
| wxlS5 | that's about all I have to say about that and in general | 03:08 |
| wxlS5 | that being said | 03:08 |
| wxlS5 | #topic general chitchat :) | 03:08 |
| wxlS5 | Oh I guess it's that time | 03:09 |
| wxlS5 | #endmeeting | 03:09 |
| meetingology | Meeting ended Fri Nov 7 03:09:56 2014 UTC. | 03:09 |

| polson8 | enjoy! | 03:12 |
| wxlS5 | thanks for showing up poison8! | 03:13 |
| polson8 | got to do what I can. I'm the one from "the middle of nowhere" on the mailing list, so dont foresee making it the meetings soon | 03:14 |
| wxlS5 | It's ok | 03:16 |
| wxlS5 | I think i'm alone in Eugene | 03:16 |
| wxlS5 | at least for being in the LoCo | 03:16 |
| wxlS5 | I need to do my own job of evangelising | 03:16 |
| sgclark | blah I got distracted by new plasma5 release :( | 03:16 |
| * sgclark reads backlog | 03:17 | |
| wxlS5 | No worries sgclark | 03:17 |
| polson8 | for now. if all goes well, i'll be in eugene in a few months. don't know much about evangelizing though. | 03:17 |
| wxlS5 | Cool poison8! | 03:17 |
| wxlS5 | Look me up when/if you get here | 03:17 |
| polson8 | ok... or hopefully will make it to a LUG meeting :) | 03:17 |
| wxlS5 | Yeah that'll work | 03:18 |
| wxlS5 | i'll be there! | 03:18 |
| wxlS5 | At least the monthly talks | 03:18 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: I am an UOS users track lead | 03:18 |
| wxlS5 | sgclark: oooh so you'er going to do a session for us? :) | 03:18 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: I can yeah, I can't put anything together though, I am overbooked in stuff to do :( | 03:19 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: I can schedule it tho | 03:19 |
| wxlS5 | Ooooh well i'll see what stuff I can put together and run it by the team! | 03:19 |
| wxlS5 | exciting! | 03:20 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: I will create a blueprint here in a bit | 03:20 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: and add you to it | 03:20 |
| wxlS5 | sounds good! | 03:20 |
| wxlS5 | thanks sgclark!!! | 03:20 |
| sgclark | wxlS5: np :) sorry I missed meeting, need to get a ping service lol | 03:20 |
| wxlS5 | in the meanwhile i'm going to head out | 03:21 |
| wxlS5 | hahahah | 03:21 |
| sgclark | see yas! | 03:21 |
| wxlS5 | nite | 03:21 |
| c_smith | wxl: did Ben manage to add you to the managers list on the Google+ page? | 18:27 |
| c_smith | I found out I myself can't add you (insufficient priveledges) | 18:27 |
| wxl | c_smith: yeah i think so. just going through emails now | 18:27 |
| c_smith | cool | 18:27 |
| wxl | thx for checking | 18:27 |
| c_smith | no prob | 18:28 |
| wxl | now i just need to figure out who owns our twitter page | 18:30 |
| wxl | the planet feed thing is gone from the loco page | 18:30 |
| wxl | so now it looks a bit more normal | 18:30 |
| wxl | i also need access to the flickr. | 18:34 |
| wxl | i may just create a group | 18:34 |
| bkerensa | wxl: I own the twitter | 18:58 |
| bkerensa | wxl: I don't remember the password but its setup to email the list owner anyways I think | 18:58 |
| wxl | bkerensa: email goes to th**@g***.** so i think not | 19:02 |
| bkerensa | what? | 19:02 |
| bkerensa | I do not own any address like that | 19:02 |
| wxl | well it's obfuscated | 19:02 |
| wxl | bkerensa: what about the flickr? | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | wxl: thats the wrong twitter thats been abandoned two team leads back | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | wxl: @ubuntu_us_or was most recent | 19:05 |
| wxl | oic | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | wxl: flickr is mine too | 19:05 |
| wxl | bkerensa: i vote we just delete the flickr. a group is more better, imho. | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | wxl: loco portal doesn't support groups | 19:09 |
| wxl | bkerensa: loco portal suggests otherwise :) | 19:09 |
| bkerensa | hmm maybe they added support since I listed tinkered with it | 19:11 |
| bkerensa | its been two years now so probably | 19:11 |
| bkerensa | either way the Flickr Pro ran out anyways | 19:11 |
| wxl | c_smith: how would you describe ubuntu hour? | 19:56 |
| bkerensa | wxl: an Ubuntu Hour is where people gather to talk about and celebrate Ubuntu | 19:57 |
| c_smith | just anyone attending shooting the breeze and answering questions should they come up | 19:57 |
| bkerensa | could be at a cafe or pub or something | 19:57 |
| wxl | ok | 19:57 |
| bkerensa | wxl: also Jams are fun | 19:57 |
| wxl | bkerensa: working on one for eugene at the end of next cycle! | 19:57 |
| wxl | very excited by it | 19:57 |
| bkerensa | wxl: so you have a focus? | 19:58 |
| bkerensa | Bugs/Doc/Dev? | 19:58 |
| wxl | bkerensa: well i have a venue so that's a good start :) | 19:58 |
| wxl | my plan was to focus on what are the many things that can be done in the community | 19:58 |
| wxl | since it doesn't appear that it's easy for people to find a place | 19:58 |
| wxl | so i was going to keep it rather unfocused | 19:59 |
| c_smith | wxl: the Ubuntu Hours here in salem take place at a coffee shop. so perfect setting | 20:00 |
| c_smith | now if only the packages Crouton is downloading would finish..... | 20:00 |
| wxl | c_smith: i made jvlb the contact. i hope that's appropriate | 20:01 |
| c_smith | we'll know soon enough if he would rather remain off that list | 20:02 |
