[01:13] <c_smith> was the meeting at 5 or 6?
[01:57] <c_smith> freakin' a.... wifi cut out
[02:23] <wxlS5> Hello folks
[02:23] <wxlS5> having to be mobile here
[02:25] <wxlS5> Hopefully meetingology will be behaving
[02:26] <c_smith> wxlS5: yup
[02:27]  * 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
[02:28] <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)
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <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.
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <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.. ;)
[02:38] <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.
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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.
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <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
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <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)
[02:47] <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 :)
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <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
[02:50] <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
[02:51] <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
[02:52] <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
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <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 :)
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <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.
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <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
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <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
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <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!
[03:08] <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 :)
[03:09] <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.

[03:16] <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 :(
[03:17]  * 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 :)

[03:18] <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? :)
[03:19] <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!
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <wxlS5> in the meanwhile i'm going to head out
[03:21] <wxlS5> hahahah
[03:21] <sgclark> see yas!
[03:21] <wxlS5> nite
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <c_smith> no prob
[18:30] <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
[18:34] <wxl> i also need access to the flickr.
[18:34] <wxl> i may just create a group
[18:58] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:04] <wxl> bkerensa: what about the flickr?
[19:05] <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.
[19:09] <bkerensa> wxl: loco portal doesn't support groups
[19:09] <wxl> bkerensa: loco portal suggests otherwise :)
[19:11] <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
[19:56] <wxl> c_smith: how would you describe ubuntu hour?
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <wxl> so i was going to keep it rather unfocused
[20:00] <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.....
[20:01] <wxl> c_smith: i made jvlb the contact. i hope that's appropriate
[20:02] <c_smith> we'll know soon enough if he would rather remain off that list
