rww#topic Next meeting date03:02
rwwNext meeting is scheduled for November 30th right now, which is on the Sunday of Thanksgiving week.03:02
rwwI guess that's sub-optimal. Shall I suggest on the mailing list that we skip/postpone that one?03:02
rww(and if so, which of skip/postpone)03:03

nhainesSounds good to me.03:08
rww#topic 2015 leadership election reminder03:08
rwwThis is pretty much just a note that we have an election coming up. Based on the timing last year, there should be a nomination period in December and election in January.03:09
rwwjyo did it last year, but I'm not running this year and am fine with doing it instead. Whatever works.03:09
rwwAnyone have any election-related comments?03:09
DonkeyHoteigreat because jyo is hereby nominated03:10
rwwI forget whether nominations are self-nominations or not.03:10
nhainesI approve of elections in general.03:10
DonkeyHoteii believe both are acceptable03:11
rwwyeah, looks like non-self was fine last year and jyo checked in with nominees before election to see if they actually want to run03:11
rwwhowever, the nomination period isn't open yet, so hold that thought until it is ;)03:12
rwwanyone have any questions/comments/concerns about that whole process?03:12
* ianorlin doesn't03:12

DonkeyHoteinhaines: you gonna do ubucon again?03:15
rwwLooks like it's scheduled for February 19-22, 2015 this year, at Hilton LAX (again).03:15
rwwIf anyone's interested in presenting at SCaLE itself, see https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/cfp and submit a proposal by the 10th03:16

rwwWho's planning on going so far? (I'm not, busy at work around then.)03:16
epsI hope most of you have already made arrangements. Affordable travel and accommodations are going to disappear soon, if they haven't already. Cheap seats on Megabus are already sold out.03:16
nhainesI'm planning to be there.  I'll take charge of the booth this year.03:17
DonkeyHoteiaffordable accommodations never *completely* sold out before, just needed an extra drive03:18
epsWe need a discount code for regular attendees and the usual packet for workers.03:18
rwwnhaines: do you want to coordinate with the SCaLE folks to get the booth registered and such?03:18
nhainesOoh, tht's a good idea.  Yeah, I'll handle that this year and get the discount code and stuff.03:18
epsThis year looks different ... the usual overflow hotels are horrendously expensive, suggesting there's another major event on those dates.03:19
nhaineseps: that all comes together with the packet.03:19
rwwnhaines: ta. CC: the leadership folks on emails so we know status please :)03:19
ianorlinI am03:20
epsNote that SCaLE has expanded to four days.03:20
rwwalso, I notice that since action can't be taken on non-agendized items, I'll be emailing the list asking for input before making that decision "official"03:20
rwwso hold off about a week03:20

rww#topic Event ideas03:28
DonkeyHoteipersonally i can't afford to attend at all without free room & board atm, but if i did, my car seats 5 total03:28
epsnhaines: Do you approve of events in general?03:29
DonkeyHoteii approve of NorCal events in particular03:30
nhaineseps: indeed I do!03:31
* eps does too03:31
rwwany ideas for them? :303:32
nhainesEvery so often OCLUG talks about the old Linux Day events they used to host at Microcenter.03:32
nhainesIt might be fun to do that sort of thing.03:32
rwwwhat's a Linux Day?03:33
nhainesThey set up a table inside or in front of Microcenter with Linux on them and showed it off, gave out discs, and probably recommended some systems that were compatible.03:34
ianorlinah nice03:34
DonkeyHoteiNorCal no longer has a Microcenter03:34
epsDonkeyHotei: whaaa?03:34
ianorlinexcept I might lose money from spending it03:34
DonkeyHoteieps: they closed a couple years back03:35
DonkeyHotei2010 i think03:35
epsDarn. Looks like just Tustin now.03:35
nhainesOh, bummer.03:36
DonkeyHoteithey didn't even tell the employees not to show up for work at the time03:36
epsWell, I guess we'll have to find another place to warn people about Bay Trail-based hardware.03:38
nhainesAnyway, it might be fun to organize these kinds of events at smaller computer shops.  I'm going to try and gather information from those who ran the last ones.03:38
DonkeyHoteithere are smaller computer shops?03:39
nhainesyes.  When you look at all computer shops, they are of various sizes.03:40
rwwas far as tabling goes, there's also farmers markets and other community gathering type stuff03:42
nhainesThat's true.  I've pondered the idea of exhibiting at swap meets or farmers markets.03:44
rww#topic Any Other Business03:46
rwwanything else anyone would like to cover tonight?03:46
* DonkeyHotei puts a lid on it03:46
nhainesI'm good for now.03:47
* eps moves for adjournment03:47
rwwand I think everyone else wandered off03:48

philipballewAs I did that last year19:22
philipballewhowever last year took a phone call to London to totally get it here.19:22
rwwconference pack needs to be requested by a team admin, so one of us three will be sorting that out indeed19:34
rwwso yeah, I guess that's a you-thing philipballew19:35
rwwalthough we might want to have it mailed to nhaines so he can organize it (and he lives nearer to SCaLE anyway)19:36
philipballewrww, yeah, I will get that sent this week. Also do we have a wiki page set up? If not, i can do that (these will probably be done Wednesday)19:37
rwwi don't think we have a wikipage set up19:37
philipballewrww, I'll do the wiki page and email the group this week.19:37
rwwthanks :)19:37
