[17:17] <dholbach> hey hey :)
[17:17] <jose> hello
[17:17] <PabloRubianes> hello
[17:17] <dholbach> are you guys on top of the UGJ date discussion?
[17:17] <jose> I personally am
[17:17] <pleia2> we really need the date asap
[17:17] <pleia2> I need to start contacting venues before holidays
[17:18] <wxl> +1 pleia2 
[17:18] <PabloRubianes> I saw the emails
[17:18] <dholbach> it'd be great if you could finalise the dates :)
[17:18] <jose> let me double check
[17:18] <pleia2> the consensus on list was the february date, what is the holdup?
[17:18]  * dholbach hugs !lococouncil
[17:18] <pleia2> list == loco-contacts list
[17:18] <jose> :P
[17:18] <wxl> yeah i saw feb too
[17:18] <jose> well, I have no objections
[17:19]  * wxl is not sure he saw an official date ion feb…
[17:19] <jose> I believe that we can decide this based on consensus, if no one objects then we're good to go
[17:19] <pleia2> wxl: yeah, it was just proposed
[17:19] <jose> and I have seen no objections at all
[17:19]  * skellat needs a moment to catch up as he was handling a Tactical Operations problem
[17:19] <pleia2> jose: ok, when it's ready can you add to ltp and mail the list? hoping to start emailing venues on monday
[17:20] <jose> pleia2: definitely. expect an answer in about 1 or max 2 hours.
[17:20] <wxl> yeah i'd like that too
[17:20] <pleia2> jose: thank you :)
[17:20] <jose> np :)
[17:20] <wxl> in fact, i'm meeting with someone new about venues on wednesday so it would be great to have info before then
[17:20] <dholbach> rock and roll
[17:20] <pleia2> wxl: nice :)
[17:20] <wxl> pleia2: yeah, i'm excited since it's at a university campus so facilities will be nice
[17:21] <pleia2> wxl: oh yeah, that's great
[17:21] <wxl> ok thanks all :)
[17:22]  * wxl goes back to doing his blog post on hack.summit()
[17:25] <jose> dholbach, pleia2, wxl: does 6-8 feb sound good to you?
[17:25] <pleia2> jose: no
[17:26] <wxl> how about 7-9??
[17:26] <wxl> would be nice to take advantage of the weekend
[17:26] <pleia2> err, yes
[17:26] <pleia2> 6-8 is fri-sun
[17:26] <pleia2> that's right :)
[17:26] <jose> wxl: ^
[17:26] <wxl> it is?
[17:26] <wxl> oh duh
[17:26] <wxl> looking at 2014 XD
[17:27] <popey> Dates are hard.
[17:27] <pleia2> gives us 2 months to plan, which is pretty much bare minimum required
[17:27] <popey> Lets go shopping
[17:27] <wxl> exec "cal feb 2015"
[17:27] <wxl> oops
[17:27] <jose> popey: bring some cheesecake please
[17:27] <popey> ☻
[17:27] <jose> wxl: you cool with those dates?
[17:27] <wxl> yes jose !
[17:27] <jose> awesome
[17:28] <PabloRubianes> great!
[17:28] <wxl> awesome
[17:28]  * wxl puts it in the calendar
[17:28] <jose> that was the date proposed on the ml too so I'm sending out the email now
[17:28] <jose> and ltp will be done in a couple mins
[17:30] <pleia2> jose: include ltp link in the email?
[17:30] <jose> ack
[17:33] <skellat> Blog post to fridge.u.c or lococouncil.u.c in this instance?
[17:33] <jose> lococouncil goes to planet, fridge does too
[17:34] <jose> I'd say LC.u.c
[17:36] <skellat> copy-pasta of the e-mail might suffice
[21:42] <belkinsa> pleia2, what is Ubuntu California LoCo doing for the Global Jam>
[21:43] <pleia2> belkinsa: Xubuntu QA (ISO and package testing) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2014-December/002541.html
[21:44] <wxl> belkinsa: trying to steal ideas for Ohio? :)
[21:44] <pleia2> please do! :)
[21:45] <belkinsa> wxl, what is your's doing?
[21:45] <wxl> belkinsa: yeah i don't know yet. i'd like to get some lubuntu qa done, but i'm not sure i'll have enough folks. 
[21:46] <wxl> belkinsa: another part of me would like to keep it open and just try to foster membership/contribution
[21:46] <skellat> I'm encouraging my deputies to do some planning to come up with portions of the event for Ohio that they can run with
[21:46] <belkinsa> That's a good idea.
[21:46] <wxl> it seems like some of our folks are WELL along the way (bdmurray) and others didn't even know about membership
[21:47] <pleia2> wxl: so I've found having something anyone can work on (like QA - if they bring a laptop and anyone can do LiveCD testing from USB sticks you prepare), then tell everyone they can do that, or ask for whatever help on anything, works well
[21:47] <pleia2> if I leave it wide open some people will just check email and facebook the whole time
[21:47] <wxl> pleia2: so have a focus but also leave it open
[21:47]  * pleia2 nods
[21:47] <wxl> pleia2: do you have a lot of xubuntu users in your loco?
[21:48] <pleia2> not really :)
[21:48] <belkinsa> I think it would be worth it to do all flavour QA then.
[21:48] <wxl> have you done a xubuntu-specific kinda thing before?
[21:48] <pleia2> but they come anyway, QA is the same across projects so they can do iso testing on anything they want if they're more familiar with Unity
[21:48] <pleia2> wxl: yep: http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=6749
[21:49] <wxl> oh that's an interesting idea
[21:49] <wxl> ok qa it is
[21:49] <wxl> oooh at wikimedia foundation
[21:49] <wxl> neeeeeat
[21:49] <pleia2> xubuntu was useful because it's the project I work on, and developers are around on weekends, so I can lurk on #xubuntu-devel and "where do I file this bug?" at them all day :D
[21:50] <wxl> hahahahahah
[21:50] <pleia2> true story
[21:50] <pleia2> figuring out what to file a bug against is the hardest part of QA events
[21:50] <pleia2> and weekends mean all the paid canonical folks are not around
[21:50] <wxl> yeah i know what you mean
[21:51] <wxl> are you a qa member for xubuntu?
[21:51] <skellat> So far we've talked about doing something docs-related, something bugs-related, and I'll do a trivia game for our notional Ohio session
[21:52] <pleia2> wxl: everyone on xubuntu-team is a qa member, we don't really have strong boundries
[21:52] <wxl> ah cool
[21:52] <pleia2> all project leads are expected to do testing
[21:52] <wxl> we CERTAINLY have people who would never do testing
[21:52] <wxl> head of communications for example
[21:53] <wxl> oooh ubuntu earrings
[21:55] <pleia2> technically I'm the marketing lead for xubuntu
[21:56] <pleia2> ubuntu necklaces too!
[22:00] <wxl> well my goal is to slowly turn everyone into a tester and then a programmer :)
[22:00] <pleia2> ++
[22:01] <wxl> we started something up which is kind of like ubuntu beginners team but it's distro agnostic
[22:01] <wxl> i just finished working on everything i think i'm going to put on the programming page for now
[22:01] <belkinsa> Linux Padawan is the name.
[22:01] <wxl> yep
[22:01] <wxl> http://wiki.linuxpadawan.net/LinuxPadawan/Programming
[22:03] <belkinsa> http://ubuntusense.com/2014/12/01/introducing-linux-padawan-mentioning-for-all-linux-folks/ I know title is wrong in the link
[22:03] <wxl> heheh
[22:04] <wxl> yeah i need to blog about it now that i've done all this darn work
[22:04] <wxl> will likely come out of the blog about hack summit
[22:04] <wxl> that's going to take me a whlie
