* nhaines raises rww's hand.03:03
elkyhe's in a wow dungeon03:04
nhainesI will pray for his escape from proprietary software.03:04
elkyyou do that03:04
elkybrb, checkin gthe cat isn't trashing the kitchen03:04
nhaineselky: I can save you time, because you know he is.03:04
nhainesOkay, so this is the first meeting of the new year.  And with a new year, we have new LoCo leadership.03:05
nhainesThe results of the latest leadership election are available at http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/results.pl?id=E_72c9ad18f9a9419e03:05
darthrobotTitle: [CIVS poll result]03:05
elkyspoiler: it was us03:06
* ianorlin knows 03:06
nhainesUbuntu California is a team of advocates, and I know the three of us are looking forward to working with all of the members to help each of us do awesome stuff this year.03:06
nhainesMassive thanks to pleia2, rww, and philipballew for working so hard to keep things up and running.03:06
elkynhaines: he was up on the fridge eating styrofoam packaging that we put up on the fridge to keep away from him.03:07
nhaineselky: sounds like a good use of distraction.03:07
elkyhe is well versed in the art03:07
nhainesOkay, so with the preliminaries out of the way, let's look at the agenda.03:07
nhaines#topic Agenda items03:07
nhainesThe agenda for this meeting is availble here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15January1103:07
darthrobotTitle: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15January11 - Ubuntu Wiki]03:07
elkyit has one agenda item on it03:08
nhainesThe first item on the list is Ubuntu Global Jam planning.03:08
elkywhat do we usually do for this?03:08
nhainesThe vivid UGJ takes place over the weekend of February 6-8.03:08
nhainesUsually we have local meetings where attendees gather together to do awesome stuff.03:08
nhainesOriginally it was bug triage, but documentation, development, and so on can also be great activities.03:09
nhainesIt looks like pleia2 is planning to do Xubuntu ISO testing at Gandi in San Francisco.03:09
nhainesI have to stress that not only is this important work and easy to do, but you can learn how to do it there at UGJ and apply those same steps to your favorite flavor if that's not Xubuntu.03:10
nhainesDoes anyone else have any plans for an event?03:11
elkynot i03:12
* rww appears03:12
rwwme either, I'm hoping to go to the Xubuntu one though03:12
nhainesOkay, I think it'd be a good idea to bring this up on the mailing list, and hopefully we'll get some more people thinking about this.  It's still a month away.03:12
nhaines#action Somebody--probably rww--should email the list and encourage UGJ events.03:12
darthrobotACTION: Somebody--probably rww--should email the list and encourage UGJ events.03:12
rwwlol no03:13
rwwi think you misspelled "elky"03:13
nhainesI feel like a leader already.03:13
nhaines#topic Open business03:13
nhainesThat's all the agenda items.  Does anyone else have anything they want to discuss?03:13
rwwhow's scale planning going?03:13
ianorlinslowly03:14
nhainesIt's going pretty well.  I'm waiting on SCALE to announce the expo floor dates so I can make the schedule public and get volunteers to commit to shifts.03:14
nhainesGareth was awesome enough to fill me in privately, so we're just waiting on them now.03:14
ianorlinwhat about for things for the booth I am planning on bringing my desktop03:15
nhainesIn addition to the usual awesomeness, we're working hard to get actual retail Ubuntu phones to demonstrate on the show floor.03:15
nhainesianorlin: you can sign up and list equipment right away.03:15
ianorlinisn't the wiki page basicaly blank now03:15
nhainesNo, it's fully up to date.  You can sign up to bring equipment here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale13x03:16
darthrobotTitle: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale13x - Ubuntu Wiki]03:16
nhainesOnce the embargo on the expo floor schedule is lifted, I'll send out an email to the mailing list.03:16
ianorlin#action ianorlin add equipment he is bringing to list03:17
darthrobotACTION: ianorlin add equipment he is bringing to list03:17
nhainesAt the moment, I also have two plans to provide volunteers with shirts to wear as a booth uniform.03:17
nhainesSo at least one of those plans should pan out.03:17
nhainesThe booth's worked out pretty well, but we're going to up the level of professionalism a bit.03:18
elkygood idea if the phones will be there03:18
nhainesI'm also working on a training video that volunteers can watch to learn more about the Ubuntu phone, so they'll be ready to answer questions from expo goers.03:18
nhainesI just got the raw footage back last night, but I should have it finished by February 1st at the latest.03:19
nhainesThat's about it, but I'm also eager for any suggestions to improve the booth.03:19
DonkeyHoteiblinky lights?03:19
nhainesNot sure about blinky lights.  But we might want to brainstorm a better way to showcase Ubuntu flavors.03:20
nhainesDoes anyone have anything else they'd like to talk about?03:20
ianorlinI think my desktop could run all the flavors in vms at once03:21
rwwunity is terribad in a VM for me :[03:21
nhainesrww: needs more guest extentions.03:21
rwwit has guest extensions03:22
ianorlinI would be using kvm03:22
nhainesOkay, so if we have a machine with Ubuntu flavors in VMs, we can dedicate that to showing off flavors.03:23
nhainesAlright, I guess that's about it for SCALE for now.03:23
nhainesI'll get discussion going on the mailing list soon.03:23
nhainesTuesday night I'm giving a presentation at the Los Angeles Computer Society: http://www.lacspc.org/03:24
darthrobotTitle: [Los Angeles Computer Society | Users Helping Users]03:24
Garethnhaines: it'll be public knowledge soon enough.  Feel free to share the times.03:24
nhainesGareth: fantastic and thank you!  Didn't want to step on toes.  :)03:24
GarethNo worries.03:24
nhainesIn that case, the SCALE booth will be open Friday from 2-6pm, Saturday from 10-6pm, and Sunday from 10-2pm.03:25
ianorlinwhen do we get talks for for ubucon planned out?03:25
nhainesSo we'll have four shifts of four hours each, and we need volunteers.  The wiki will be updated after the meeting.03:25
nhainesianorlin: the LoCo isn't involved with Ubucon, but you can contact Richard Gaskin for more info.  I suspect he'll have everything announced at the same time SCALE publishes their schedule.03:26
ianorlinah ok03:26
nhainesThat said, I'm working with Richard to see if we can get Ubucon speakers to stop by the booth to be available for questions.03:26
nhainesIn the same vein, I've asked Stuart Langridge from Bad Voltage to visit the Ubuntu booth and show off his Ubuntu phone as well.03:27
nhainesSo we'll have some "celebrity" appearances from time to time.  :)03:27
nhainesOkay, I think that's about it.  I'm talking at LACS Tuesday, and that'll be fun.  I'm going to pass out a couple Ubuntu books and a couple Ubuntu DVDs.03:28
nhainesThey're a Computer User Group and most haven't heard of Linux other than in passing, so I'll be talking about Free Software and the history of Linux and Ubuntu before giving a demonstration.03:28
nhainesAnd if no one else has any other news or announcements, I think we'll call it a meeting.03:28
DonkeyHoteigeneral-purpose computer user groups still exist?03:29
nhainesIndeed they do!  I need to get in touch with the North Orange County Computer Club some time.03:29
elkyyes03:30
nhainesMaybe I'll see if I can reuse my Tuesday presentation.03:30
nhainesOkay, the next meeting will be on January 25th, at 19:00 PST.03:31
nhainesThank you all for coming!  Let's all work together to make 2015 a fantastic year for the LoCo and Ubuntu!03:31

nhainesWell, that was easy.03:33
nhainesI assume all the things that happen after the meeting just just automatic now?03:33

nhainesThen we're all set.03:33
MarkDudeYay, Scale03:44
nhainesOh cool: http://www.lacspc.org/Various/Flyer.pdf03:59
darthrobotContent type: [application/pdf] Size: [330101]04:00
nhainesOh hey, Gareth, the Los Angeles Computer Society is a computer club that isn't familiar with Linux but is very intrigued.  The leadership board was very interested in the idea of SCALE.  I'm going to push it hard at my next talk.04:01
nhainesIs there any chance they could get a discount code to use?  I have no idea what the procedure is for that.04:02
Garethnhaines: awesome.04:02
Garethnhaines: of course.04:02
nhainesGareth: Awesome.  I think it'd get them really excited about Linux.  And it's probably the nicest introduction you can get.04:04
nhainesAs far as general levels of excitement and friendliness.04:04
MarkDudeGood stuff :)04:08
Garethnhaines: one sec.  let me get the code for you.04:11
nhainesGareth: thanks!  I'll be able to send it to the board tonight, and I'll see if I can shove it into my presentation slides.  ;)04:12
Garethnhaines: LACS - 50% off.04:13
nhainesGareth: excellent!  I'll get that to them right away.  Thanks so much.  :)04:19
GarethNo worries.04:22
