[02:14] <skellat> belkinsa, 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?
[02:15] <skellat> Monday, February 16th, is also usable

[09:38] <Unit193> :D
[13:48] <belkinsa> skellat, what do you mean by in-person?
[16:15] <skellat> belkinsa: Face to face, physically present
[21:13] <belkinsa> Can we do it via Hangouts
[21:31] <skellat> Let us shoot for UGJ weekend instead
[21:32] <Unit193> To what point and purpose?
[21:33] <skellat> Well, not the discussion of this: http://pad.ubuntu.com/LeadershipAndGovernanceDiscussion
[21:33] <jenni> [ OpenID Authentication Required ] - https://j.mp/1CO7Tyh <-- huh

[21:34] <Unit193> And likely also not whether Picard or Kirk is better.
[21:35] <skellat> Purpose: To have a community even in concert with overall CCT/Community Council driven goal of spurring activity 
[21:35] <Unit193> So, a meetup for the sake of a meetup, I see.
[21:35] <skellat> Point: Removing electronic intermediation so that people meet in person results in formation of bonding better than video chats do
[21:36] <skellat> Unit193: Activity during the event TBD
[21:36] <skellat> The date for UGJ was only settled a few hours ago
[21:36] <Unit193> I would concur with your point, sure.
[21:38] <skellat> If belkinsa wants to have practice leading a docs-related jam with Ohio participants, we can do that
[21:39] <belkinsa> Sure, that works.
[21:39] <skellat> If you, Unit193, want to do Debian-related things plus bug-squashing we can do that
[21:39] <belkinsa> I know that I do want to do a Hangout with you skellat.

[21:40] <skellat> If jrgifford wants to do something AskUbuntu-related, we can do that
[21:40] <skellat> The date is settled.  We have time to find a venue.
[21:40] <skellat> Our counterparts in California apparently already had a venue ready
[21:41] <skellat> Ohio hasn't really done anything for Ubuntu Global Jam for a few years
[21:41] <belkinsa> What are they planning to do?
[21:41] <skellat> belkinsa: Ask pleia2
[21:42] <skellat> All I know is that they got the venue
[21:42] <skellat> dholbach and pleia2 wanted PabloRubianes, jose, and myself to finally settle the UGJ date which we did earlier today
[21:42] <belkinsa> Done
[21:42]  * Unit193 doesn't see it as a competition.
[21:42] <skellat> It isn't
[21:43] <skellat> I just want to break a pattern of seeing things only happen in the same old places

[21:44] <belkinsa> skellat, alright.  I think we has my answer.

[21:47] <belkinsa> OMG.  You guys.
[21:47] <paultag> I think jrgifford is going nuts

[21:48] <paultag> well good
[21:49] <skellat> I can randomly assign points like Who's Line Is It Anyway
[21:49] <skellat> Lets hope we don't get to the reading of the credits any time soon
[21:50] <jrgifford> i guess irccloud doesn't let you do colored text. :-)
[21:50] <skellat> For my contribution to UGJ, I frankly want to have a trivia game or something fun like that
[21:50] <paultag> not like you can bold anything
[21:51] <paultag> or underline, that'd be insane
[21:51] <paultag> :)
[21:52]  * skellat is listening to WEWS about the protesters wrecking downtown Cleveland traffic patterns yet again
[21:52] <jrgifford> as someone at e24 and superior, i am very, very concerned.
[21:53] <jrgifford> mostly because i need to take a bus east.
[21:53] <skellat> jrgifford: 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 PM
[21:53] <belkinsa> skellat, do you think the Ubuntu Global Jam will help our LoCo to grow again?
[21:53] <jrgifford> skellat:  nice!
[21:54] <Unit193> jrgifford: So, still hanging out there in AskUbuntu land?  Anything else cool and new?
[21:54] <skellat> jrgifford: 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] <skellat> I've enjoyed being in Ashtabula all day
[21:54] <skellat> belkinsa: I certainly hope so
[21:55] <belkinsa> I do too, but I'm a bit not sure at the same time.
[21:56] <skellat> belkinsa: There is always risk in such things.  All you can do is do the best you can.
[21:56] <belkinsa> It's mainly because of what I written to the Community Team mailing-list last night.
[21:56]  * belkinsa nods
[21:56] <skellat> belkinsa: Umm...that's not bad
[21:57] <skellat> belkinsa: I've more than likely ticked off plenty of people via LoCo Council stuff lately
[21:57] <skellat> Over a far, far broader area
[21:57] <skellat> And sometimes Bing Translator just chokes on what I ask it to translate for me
[21:57] <belkinsa> Do you think it's really a lack of resources or is it something else that is hurting the Community?
[22:01] <skellat> jrgifford: East 14th & Euclid but NewsChannel 5 says the protesters are heading back to Public Square at the moment.
[22:01] <jrgifford> skellat: eek. 
[22:01] <skellat> Bite the bullet and call for paratransit?
[22:02] <belkinsa> I-75, near Cincinnati, was shut down because of them awhile back.
[22:02] <skellat> belkinsa: A nation-wide phenomenon
[22:02] <paultag> über
[22:03] <belkinsa> I know.
[22:04] <skellat> Hunh.  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/paratransit

[22:04] <belkinsa> jenni: why are acting up?
[22:05] <jenni> belkinsa, I am beng punish by my parents
[22:05] <belkinsa> Anyways, skellat, I'm settled on what I will do for the Jam with our fine LoCo.

[22:05] <jenni> belkinsa: +2/-0, 2
[22:05] <skellat> Okay
[22:06] <skellat> Docs will work well as something we can play with in Ohio
[22:06] <skellat> I'll be more than happy to do a trivia game to incorporate some "fun" into the day
[22:06] <skellat> James will look for a Cleveland-area venue
[22:06] <belkinsa> But I think we should start easy, as in with the Wiki first./
[22:06] <skellat> belkinsa: That will work
[22:06]  * belkinsa needs to find the Cincinnati folks...
[22:06] <skellat> You have to crawl before you can walk
[22:07] <belkinsa> Indeed.
[22:07] <skellat> I'll be looking at ODNR's state parks/state lodges to see what we have closer to the center of the state too
[22:07] <belkinsa> That might be a great choice.
[22:08] <belkinsa> Better than being scattered around the stae.
[22:08] <belkinsa> state(
[22:08] <Unit193> skellat: And the wiki crawls enough for the rest of us. \o/
[22:08] <skellat> The lodges are listed here: http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/lodges
[22:09] <skellat> Geneva is an unacceptable option as it is in...ASHTABULA COUNTY
[22:09] <skellat> Though the lodge there is very, very nice
[22:09] <belkinsa> Hueston Woods is too down south for you guys.
[22:10] <belkinsa> Shawnee State Park is too.
[22:11] <skellat> Deer Creek?
[22:11] <belkinsa> Doable.
[22:12] <belkinsa> I know that area from marching band.
[22:12] <skellat> Punderson would be a northern option in southern Geauga County but for the manor being down for renovations in January and February
[22:12] <belkinsa> Salt Fork State Park is doable too.
[22:13] <belkinsa> Burr Oak might be too.
[22:14] <skellat> Hmm, sounds almost like a candidate for a CIVS vote
[22:17] <belkinsa> I think we may need an IRC meeting.
[22:18] <skellat> True
[22:18] <skellat> We may
[22:18] <skellat> I'm being called away to set up dinner and get laundry done
[22:18] <belkinsa> Alright.
[22:18] <skellat> Think about things, hash them out, and we'll see where we go from there
