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