skellatbelkinsa, Unit193, jrgifford: I would like to schedule an in-person meeting for our community within the next 90 days.  Would the three of you be willing & able to ascertain a suitable location to hold this in perhaps late January or on January 19th which is a federal holiday?02:14
skellatMonday, February 16th, is also usable02:15

belkinsaskellat, what do you mean by in-person?13:48
skellatbelkinsa: Face to face, physically present16:15
belkinsaCan we do it via Hangouts21:13
skellatLet us shoot for UGJ weekend instead21:31
Unit193To what point and purpose?21:32
skellatWell, not the discussion of this: http://pad.ubuntu.com/LeadershipAndGovernanceDiscussion21:33
jenni[ OpenID Authentication Required ] - https://j.mp/1CO7Tyh <-- huh21:33
* skellat did not realize jenni would offer editorial comment21:33

jenniunit193: +2/-0, 221:34
Unit193And likely also not whether Picard or Kirk is better.21:34
skellatPurpose: To have a community even in concert with overall CCT/Community Council driven goal of spurring activity 21:35
Unit193So, a meetup for the sake of a meetup, I see.21:35
skellatPoint: Removing electronic intermediation so that people meet in person results in formation of bonding better than video chats do21:35
skellatUnit193: Activity during the event TBD21:36
skellatThe date for UGJ was only settled a few hours ago21:36
Unit193I would concur with your point, sure.21:36
skellatIf belkinsa wants to have practice leading a docs-related jam with Ohio participants, we can do that21:38
belkinsaSure, that works.21:39
skellatIf you, Unit193, want to do Debian-related things plus bug-squashing we can do that21:39
belkinsaI know that I do want to do a Hangout with you skellat.21:39

skellatIf jrgifford wants to do something AskUbuntu-related, we can do that21:40
skellatThe date is settled.  We have time to find a venue.21:40
skellatOur counterparts in California apparently already had a venue ready21:40
skellatOhio hasn't really done anything for Ubuntu Global Jam for a few years21:41
belkinsaWhat are they planning to do?21:41
skellatbelkinsa: Ask pleia221:41
skellatAll I know is that they got the venue21:42
skellatdholbach and pleia2 wanted PabloRubianes, jose, and myself to finally settle the UGJ date which we did earlier today21:42
belkinsaDone21:42
* Unit193 doesn't see it as a competition.21:42
skellatIt isn't21:42
skellatI just want to break a pattern of seeing things only happen in the same old places21:43

belkinsaskellat, you thinking working on the wiki would be the best place to start for our LoCo instead of the desktop docs?21:43

jrgiffordi'm so, so lost.21:48
jrgiffordbut i'm ok with that now.21:48
paultagwell good21:48
skellatI can randomly assign points like Who's Line Is It Anyway21:49
skellatLets hope we don't get to the reading of the credits any time soon21:49
jrgiffordi guess irccloud doesn't let you do colored text. :-)21:50
skellatFor my contribution to UGJ, I frankly want to have a trivia game or something fun like that21:50
paultagnot like you can bold anything21:50
paultagor underline, that'd be insane21:51
paultag:)21:51
* skellat is listening to WEWS about the protesters wrecking downtown Cleveland traffic patterns yet again21:52
jrgiffordas someone at e24 and superior, i am very, very concerned.21:52
jrgiffordmostly because i need to take a bus east.21:53
skellatjrgifford: I had the warning from LakeTran earlier today at about 11 AM with a "Run For It" message and that there would be a special "Get Out of Dodge" run at 2 PM21:53
belkinsaskellat, do you think the Ubuntu Global Jam will help our LoCo to grow again?21:53
jrgiffordskellat:  nice!21:53
Unit193jrgifford: So, still hanging out there in AskUbuntu land?  Anything else cool and new?21:54
skellatjrgifford: This is one of those cases I am glad I'm still on furlough and not recalled to duty with $AGENCY.  We're still looking at a possible federal budget crisis next week so I'm just rocking the unemployment...21:54
skellatI've enjoyed being in Ashtabula all day21:54
skellatbelkinsa: I certainly hope so21:54
belkinsaI do too, but I'm a bit not sure at the same time.21:55
skellatbelkinsa: There is always risk in such things.  All you can do is do the best you can.21:56
belkinsaIt's mainly because of what I written to the Community Team mailing-list last night.21:56
* belkinsa nods21:56
skellatbelkinsa: Umm...that's not bad21:56
skellatbelkinsa: I've more than likely ticked off plenty of people via LoCo Council stuff lately21:57
skellatOver a far, far broader area21:57
skellatAnd sometimes Bing Translator just chokes on what I ask it to translate for me21:57
belkinsaDo you think it's really a lack of resources or is it something else that is hurting the Community?21:57
skellatjrgifford: East 14th & Euclid but NewsChannel 5 says the protesters are heading back to Public Square at the moment.22:01
jrgiffordskellat: eek. 22:01
skellatBite the bullet and call for paratransit?22:01
belkinsaI-75, near Cincinnati, was shut down because of them awhile back.22:02
skellatbelkinsa: A nation-wide phenomenon22:02
paultagüber22:02
belkinsaI know.22:03
skellatHunh.  Greater Cleveland RTA doesn't have dial-a-ride like LakeTran or Ashtabula County Transportation System.  They have paratransit but it isn't the same thing.  http://www.riderta.com/paratransit22:04
jenni[ Paratransit service | Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority ] - https://j.mp/1u0Yp8B <-- huh22:04
belkinsajenni: why are acting up?22:04
jennibelkinsa, I am beng punish by my parents22:05
belkinsaAnyways, skellat, I'm settled on what I will do for the Jam with our fine LoCo.22:05
skellat.addpoint belkinsa22:05
jennibelkinsa: +2/-0, 222:05
skellatOkay22:05
skellatDocs will work well as something we can play with in Ohio22:06
skellatI'll be more than happy to do a trivia game to incorporate some "fun" into the day22:06
skellatJames will look for a Cleveland-area venue22:06
belkinsaBut I think we should start easy, as in with the Wiki first./22:06
skellatbelkinsa: That will work22:06
* belkinsa needs to find the Cincinnati folks...22:06
skellatYou have to crawl before you can walk22:06
belkinsaIndeed.22:07
skellatI'll be looking at ODNR's state parks/state lodges to see what we have closer to the center of the state too22:07
belkinsaThat might be a great choice.22:07
belkinsaBetter than being scattered around the stae.22:08
belkinsastate(22:08
Unit193skellat: And the wiki crawls enough for the rest of us. \o/22:08
skellatThe lodges are listed here: http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/lodges22:08
skellatGeneva is an unacceptable option as it is in...ASHTABULA COUNTY22:09
skellatThough the lodge there is very, very nice22:09
belkinsaHueston Woods is too down south for you guys.22:09
belkinsaShawnee State Park is too.22:10
skellatDeer Creek?22:11
belkinsaDoable.22:11
belkinsaI know that area from marching band.22:12
skellatPunderson would be a northern option in southern Geauga County but for the manor being down for renovations in January and February22:12
belkinsaSalt Fork State Park is doable too.22:12
belkinsaBurr Oak might be too.22:13
skellatHmm, sounds almost like a candidate for a CIVS vote22:14
belkinsaI think we may need an IRC meeting.22:17
skellatTrue22:18
skellatWe may22:18
skellatI'm being called away to set up dinner and get laundry done22:18
belkinsaAlright.22:18
skellatThink about things, hash them out, and we'll see where we go from there22:18
* skellat goes to feed The Chat22:18
belkinsaAye, aye, captain!22:18
