[02:45] <nhaines> Oh wow, isn't there some kind of thing happening in like 15 minutes?
[02:45] <ianorlin> yes
[02:46]  * ianorlin wishes I knew had to use the bot
[02:46] <nhaines> Oh, I can do that.  I think.
[02:47] <ianorlin> rww do you know where the bots manual is?
[02:48] <rww> yes, sec

[03:02] <elky> o/
[03:02] <ianorlin> o/
[03:02] <nhaines> Happy new year to everyone!  Who's around?
[03:03] <DonkeyHotei> o/
[03:03]  * nhaines raises rww's hand.
[03:04] <elky> he's in a wow dungeon
[03:04] <nhaines> I will pray for his escape from proprietary software.
[03:04] <elky> you do that
[03:04] <elky> brb, checkin gthe cat isn't trashing the kitchen
[03:04] <nhaines> elky: I can save you time, because you know he is.
[03:05] <nhaines> Okay, so this is the first meeting of the new year.  And with a new year, we have new LoCo leadership.
[03:05] <nhaines> The results of the latest leadership election are available at http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/results.pl?id=E_72c9ad18f9a9419e
[03:05] <darthrobot> Title: [CIVS poll result]
[03:06] <elky> spoiler: it was us
[03:06]  * ianorlin knows 
[03:06] <nhaines> Ubuntu 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] <nhaines> Massive thanks to pleia2, rww, and philipballew for working so hard to keep things up and running.
[03:07] <elky> nhaines: he was up on the fridge eating styrofoam packaging that we put up on the fridge to keep away from him.
[03:07] <nhaines> elky: sounds like a good use of distraction.
[03:07] <elky> he is well versed in the art
[03:07] <nhaines> Okay, so with the preliminaries out of the way, let's look at the agenda.
[03:07] <nhaines> #topic Agenda items
[03:07] <nhaines> The agenda for this meeting is availble here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15January11
[03:07] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15January11 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:08] <elky> it has one agenda item on it
[03:08] <nhaines> The first item on the list is Ubuntu Global Jam planning.
[03:08] <elky> what do we usually do for this?
[03:08] <nhaines> The vivid UGJ takes place over the weekend of February 6-8.
[03:08] <nhaines> Usually we have local meetings where attendees gather together to do awesome stuff.
[03:09] <nhaines> Originally it was bug triage, but documentation, development, and so on can also be great activities.
[03:09] <nhaines> It looks like pleia2 is planning to do Xubuntu ISO testing at Gandi in San Francisco.
[03:10] <nhaines> I 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.
[03:11] <nhaines> Does anyone else have any plans for an event?
[03:12] <elky> not i
[03:12]  * rww appears
[03:12] <rww> me either, I'm hoping to go to the Xubuntu one though
[03:12] <nhaines> Okay, 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] <darthrobot> ACTION: Somebody--probably rww--should email the list and encourage UGJ events.
[03:13] <rww> lol no
[03:13] <rww> i think you misspelled "elky"
[03:13] <nhaines> I feel like a leader already.
[03:13] <nhaines> #topic Open business
[03:13] <nhaines> That's all the agenda items.  Does anyone else have anything they want to discuss?
[03:13] <rww> how's scale planning going?
[03:14] <ianorlin> slowly
[03:14] <nhaines> It'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] <nhaines> Gareth was awesome enough to fill me in privately, so we're just waiting on them now.
[03:15] <ianorlin> what about for things for the booth I am planning on bringing my desktop
[03:15] <nhaines> In addition to the usual awesomeness, we're working hard to get actual retail Ubuntu phones to demonstrate on the show floor.
[03:15] <nhaines> ianorlin: you can sign up and list equipment right away.
[03:15] <ianorlin> isn't the wiki page basicaly blank now
[03:16] <nhaines> No, it's fully up to date.  You can sign up to bring equipment here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale13x
[03:16] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale13x - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:16] <nhaines> Once the embargo on the expo floor schedule is lifted, I'll send out an email to the mailing list.
[03:17] <ianorlin> #action ianorlin add equipment he is bringing to list
[03:17] <darthrobot> ACTION: ianorlin add equipment he is bringing to list
[03:17] <nhaines> At the moment, I also have two plans to provide volunteers with shirts to wear as a booth uniform.
[03:17] <nhaines> So at least one of those plans should pan out.
[03:18] <nhaines> The booth's worked out pretty well, but we're going to up the level of professionalism a bit.
[03:18] <elky> good idea if the phones will be there
[03:18] <nhaines> I'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.
[03:19] <nhaines> I just got the raw footage back last night, but I should have it finished by February 1st at the latest.
[03:19] <nhaines> That's about it, but I'm also eager for any suggestions to improve the booth.
[03:19] <DonkeyHotei> blinky lights?
[03:20] <nhaines> Not sure about blinky lights.  But we might want to brainstorm a better way to showcase Ubuntu flavors.
[03:20] <nhaines> Does anyone have anything else they'd like to talk about?
[03:21] <ianorlin> I think my desktop could run all the flavors in vms at once
[03:21] <rww> unity is terribad in a VM for me :[
[03:21] <nhaines> rww: needs more guest extentions.
[03:22] <rww> it has guest extensions
[03:22] <ianorlin> I would be using kvm
[03:23] <nhaines> Okay, so if we have a machine with Ubuntu flavors in VMs, we can dedicate that to showing off flavors.
[03:23] <nhaines> Alright, I guess that's about it for SCALE for now.
[03:23] <nhaines> I'll get discussion going on the mailing list soon.
[03:24] <nhaines> Tuesday night I'm giving a presentation at the Los Angeles Computer Society: http://www.lacspc.org/
[03:24] <darthrobot> Title: [Los Angeles Computer Society | Users Helping Users]
[03:24] <Gareth> nhaines: it'll be public knowledge soon enough.  Feel free to share the times.
[03:24] <nhaines> Gareth: fantastic and thank you!  Didn't want to step on toes.  :)
[03:24] <Gareth> No worries.
[03:25] <nhaines> In that case, the SCALE booth will be open Friday from 2-6pm, Saturday from 10-6pm, and Sunday from 10-2pm.
[03:25] <ianorlin> when do we get talks for for ubucon planned out?
[03:25] <nhaines> So we'll have four shifts of four hours each, and we need volunteers.  The wiki will be updated after the meeting.
[03:26] <nhaines> ianorlin: 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] <ianorlin> ah ok
[03:26] <nhaines> That said, I'm working with Richard to see if we can get Ubucon speakers to stop by the booth to be available for questions.
[03:27] <nhaines> In 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] <nhaines> So we'll have some "celebrity" appearances from time to time.  :)
[03:28] <nhaines> Okay, 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] <nhaines> They'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] <nhaines> And if no one else has any other news or announcements, I think we'll call it a meeting.
[03:29] <DonkeyHotei> general-purpose computer user groups still exist?
[03:29] <nhaines> Indeed they do!  I need to get in touch with the North Orange County Computer Club some time.
[03:30] <elky> yes
[03:30] <nhaines> Maybe I'll see if I can reuse my Tuesday presentation.
[03:31] <nhaines> Okay, the next meeting will be on January 25th, at 19:00 PST.
[03:31] <nhaines> Thank you all for coming!  Let's all work together to make 2015 a fantastic year for the LoCo and Ubuntu!

[03:33] <nhaines> Well, that was easy.
[03:33] <nhaines> I assume all the things that happen after the meeting just just automatic now?
[03:33] <elky> i believe so
[03:33] <nhaines> Then we're all set.
[03:44] <MarkDude> Yay, Scale
[03:59] <nhaines> Oh cool: http://www.lacspc.org/Various/Flyer.pdf
[04:00] <darthrobot> Content type: [application/pdf] Size: [330101]
[04:01] <nhaines> Oh 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.
[04:02] <nhaines> Is there any chance they could get a discount code to use?  I have no idea what the procedure is for that.
[04:02] <Gareth> nhaines: awesome.
[04:02] <Gareth> nhaines: of course.
[04:04] <nhaines> Gareth: Awesome.  I think it'd get them really excited about Linux.  And it's probably the nicest introduction you can get.
[04:04] <nhaines> As far as general levels of excitement and friendliness.
[04:08] <MarkDude> Good stuff :)
[04:11] <Gareth> nhaines: one sec.  let me get the code for you.
[04:12] <nhaines> Gareth: 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.  ;)
[04:13] <Gareth> nhaines: LACS - 50% off.
[04:19] <nhaines> Gareth: excellent!  I'll get that to them right away.  Thanks so much.  :)
[04:22] <Gareth> No worries.
[04:50] <pleia2> sorry for missing the meeting, I broke my hermitude this week and brought a flu home, that'll teach me ;)
[04:52] <nhaines> pleia2: the Big Blue Room is not to be taken lightly!  ;)
[04:53] <pleia2> dangerous place
[04:59]  * pleia2 back2bed
[05:01] <nhaines> pleia2: hope you feel better soon.  :)
[05:06]  * ianorlin hopes pleia2 feels better
[05:13] <DonkeyHotei> MJ better get a flu shot so that someone can make the chicken soup
[06:46] <ianorlin> set the next meeting in topic
[06:46] <ianorlin> should probably be doen
[06:51] <DonkeyHotei> don't you have ops now?
[07:03] <nhaines> I will do any outstanding post-meeting stuff on Wednesday.  But it's crunch time for a few things right now.
[07:33] <rww> DonkeyHotei: nope. the channel ops list is me, Philip, Lyz, Grant, and Nathan.
[07:34] <rww> and as for the rest of it,

[07:34] <rww> fine :(
[07:37] <DonkeyHotei> fail
[07:40] <rww> apparently i should not have assumed we have a working factoid bot like we used to :)
[07:41] <rww> (and hey, I did get the trigger right the first time. oh well)
[07:42] <DonkeyHotei> welp the bot is still here
[07:43] <rww> that would seem to be obvious, yes
[08:11] <nhaines> Do I have to be in the offtopic channel now that I'm a leader?

[08:12] <rww> no, the more people in there the more likely someone will actually talk and break the silence
