[00:29] Schools keep canceling [00:55] i see that. [01:35] 25min? [01:35] looks like it yeah. [01:56] 5 minutes? [02:02] Good evening [02:02] Eveing [02:02] We'll be starting in a few minutes. [02:02] hi [02:02] Downton. [02:03] i am here however [02:07] Hello everyone! [02:07] Thank you for tuning in here if you have [02:07] Can I get a quick show of hands? [02:07] o/ [02:08] i'm here [02:09] gosh Thomas Barrow doesn't get any better (he's a big jerky jerk) [02:09] If anyone else is here feel free to pipe in as needed [02:09] We have a few things to cover and I know there are thrre things folks are watching: [02:09] 1) Superbowl [02:09] 2) Downton Abbey [02:09] 3) School closings and weather reports [02:10] finally saw that JoDee's school is closed tomorrow. :) [02:10] I think any school that is open tomorrow is foolish [02:10] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/912/detail/ [02:10] ^ Here's the agenda [02:10] i think you are right [02:11] Item #1: Ubuntu Global Jam [02:11] thank ye for the link. [02:11] This coming weekend is the Ubuntu Global Jam [02:11] What does this mean? [02:11] It means we'll be meeting this weekend (virtually) to work on Ubuntu stuff [02:11] 3, 2, 1... let's jam! [02:12] eg: Bug Traige, "Ask Ubuntu", documentation [02:12] Whatever floats your boat. [02:12] awesome. that's gonna be in the IRC, right? [02:12] It's a great way to get involved with the community. [02:12] It'll be on IRC, and we might do a hangout [02:12] if someone wants to plan out an in-person meeting that would be great too [02:13] UNfortuantely I'm not able to plan something out in this short amount of time [02:13] so we'll at the very least meet online [02:13] i think that's a good idea. [02:13] If you're participating feel free to say "I'm Jamming" and let us know [02:13] or join the hangout [02:14] Not sure if the hangout will be up all weekend but that's available if you want [02:14] (And where would one find this notional hangout link you might ask?) [02:14] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-mi/2968-michigan-ubuntu-global-jam-1504/ [02:14] google plus? [02:15] You can also get to it via the loco directory [02:15] super smart [02:15] yeah, it's like they thought of everything [02:15] So anywho, we'll play it by ear and hopefully have a great time [02:16] scratch that, we WILL have a great time. :) [02:16] cool! i'll chill some beers and hang in the IRC! [02:16] Because that's just how we roll [02:16] Any questions? [02:16] Not yet [02:16] nope. gonna have fun this weekend for the global jam. [02:16] Apparently sportball is tied at half-time [02:17] OK, moving on to item #2 [02:17] and the Dowager is throwing shade all over the place. [02:17] What did they tie it to? [02:17] LOL [02:17] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/912/detail/ <- again, for those playing along at home [02:17] RELEASE PARTY APPROACHETH [02:17] release party [02:18] Assuming they'll have us we'll be partying at Penguicon [02:18] oooh. and that's in April, correct? [02:18] Which is April 26th-28th. [02:18] seems like it never lines up for me. [02:18] What about a room party release party? [02:18] Ideally we'll be there on Friday after work [02:19] waldo323_: If you want to organize it. :) [02:19] I think Penguicon 24th -26th right? [02:20] You are most correct [02:20] 24th-26th [02:20] I fail maths [02:20] Having it at the bar is easier :-) [02:20] Yes, yes it is [02:20] we had it at the bar last year and it worked out pretty well [02:20] Lots of people have been saying different numbers even at the meetings [02:20] So don't feel bad [02:21] Maybe more signage would be good ? [02:21] I think adding it to my subliminal consciousness would be ace. [02:22] Regardless, there are things afoot at Penguicon that you will want to be a part of as pertaining to Ubuntu [02:23] so perchance one mught obtain passes to participate in such pertainment [02:23] perhaps. [02:23] I'll firm up the date and time [02:23] If you just want to go for the release party it'll cost a day-pass to Penguicon [02:24] but since Penguicon is so awesome you'll want to get the weekend pass [02:24] Trust me [02:24] any questions? [02:24] http://2015.penguicon.org/ for tickets [02:25] Also if you can't make it to Pengiucon and wish to have a release party please let me know and I'll get it up on the calendar [02:25] We can have as many release parties as folks want to organize. [02:26] i think it would be neat to have one over at the Red Ox near me. are there any ubuntu folks over by Oakland U? [02:26] Likely [02:27] If you want to organize it by all means [02:27] ok let me see what i can do [02:27] I think it would be awesome to have more than one party. [02:28] yeah. i can see if there might be some people interested from work too. [02:28] Very cool [02:30] yeah. and if it doesn't work out as an ubuntu thing i won't be alone with some co-workers around. hah! [02:30] Nice [02:30] OK, any questions on the release party(ies)? [02:32] maybe later once i mull it over some more. [02:33] OK, last item [02:33] Ubuntu Developer Summit: http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [02:34] UDS is coming up in May [02:34] This is a great way to help out with Ubuntu and get involved. [02:35] They are online using Google Hangouts [02:35] So you don't have to travel to some remote land in order to participate [02:36] that's cool. i've never been to one. [02:36] i'm not really a developer though [02:36] You don't have to be a programmer. :) [02:37] ah ok. [02:37] what's up? [02:37] They cover things like documentation, translation, community, etc. [02:37] cool! [02:37] I don't think the schedule is posted yet but should be posted soon [02:37] brousch i'm following the meeting in between shade thrown at Downton Abbey. [02:40] Any questions? [02:40] I'm good i think [02:42] Any other business anyone would like to bring up? [02:44] i don't have any [02:44] it's like you're speaking to an empty room... "don't everyone speak up at once" [02:48] Heh, no worries [02:49] Im used to it [02:50] :) [03:01] OK, if there's nothing else then hope everyone enjoys their evening [03:01] and hope you all can work from home tomorrow morning [03:01] because it looks like an utter mess out there. [03:01] <_stink_> is it time to go shovel again? [03:01] And apparently Sportball is 24-21 [03:01] in favor of one team over the other [03:02] <_stink_> yeah we haven't even turned it on [03:02] I watched a bit of the Kitten Bowl training cam [03:03] I'm good [03:03] <_stink_> hahaha [03:03] <_stink_> we had the puppy bowl on for like 1.5 hours [03:03] That is awesome [03:03] We played "Roll for the Galaxy" [03:03] Had a learning round of that but picked up pretty quickly [03:04] fun game [03:08] https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/132531/roll-galaxy if anyone is interested [03:09] i watched Downton and now it's Grantchester, aka super-hot-ginger-vicar-who's-an-amateur-detective [03:09] looks like a cool game! [03:10] ok, time for more Grantchester and then bed. getting up early tomorrow to... i'm not exactly sure. i might make it into work. hah! [03:10] see everyone tomorrow! [03:14] Laterness [05:48] morning [12:50] <_stink_> oh boy, timeo to shovel the same 2 foot drift AGAIN [14:17] Thigh high drifts due to plowing! [14:19] but the good news is that i'm getting plowed. [14:19] snowplowed. ahem. [14:20] gamerchick02: LOL [14:20] :-D [14:20] i fell over in a snowdrift! [14:21] lol. wind blow you down? [14:22] no i misjudged a step and caught the edge [14:22] it was buried in a snowdrift and was going off the steps i'd made earlier when i determined that i couldn't make it into work. [14:23] so yeah. doing a backup of my computer right now yay [14:23] better fall in a drift than fall on the steps. OUCH [14:23] yeah! i'm not hurt. [14:23] i changed my pants and i'm dry now [14:49] Yeah, we did our shoveling [14:49] now to wait until spring [14:52] I need a decent snowblower next year. The damn fools only plow half of our road, and it's the half I don't live on [14:53] So I get to shovel 10ft of road as well as my driveway [15:24] ugh i'm sorry to hear that [15:25] i'll go out after lunch. the Indian/Pakistani guys came out and were like "wut is this?" [15:25] none have snowshovels or boots or anything. [15:25] there are a lot of chrysler IT guys from that area of the world in my apartment complex. [15:25] <_stink_> phew [15:25] <_stink_> just finished [15:26] <_stink_> we had 2.5 foot drifts [15:26] <_stink_> also, my flights to san fran got cancelled. [15:26] gamerchick02: Yeah, I'm sure they're not prepared for this [15:26] aww sorry about that [15:26] no they are not, cmaloney [15:26] Granted I never thought to have a shovel in the apartment complex [15:26] luckily we had good maint. folks. [15:27] we do too but nobody (and i mean nobody) leaves in this kind of weather. [15:27] so they can't plow if everyone's still in their spaces [15:27] Yeah [15:27] plus i have a lot of Oakland students and they don't drive hardly ever either. [15:28] gamerchick02: s/drive hardly ever either/try to drive over anything that looks flat and pout when it doesn't work/ [15:28] hah [15:28] yes [15:31] good day to fire up musicbrainz and sort the music collection, yeah? [15:32] As good as any [15:33] :) [15:33] that's what i'm doing... [15:33] might as well be personally productive. [16:35] car unburied. [16:35] and i have it clean behind my car so i can get out tomorrow. hopefully there will be more plowing later [17:10] evening [17:13] Afternoon [17:13] :) [17:13] g'day [17:15] watching the super bowl and eating pizza ftw :) [17:15] nice. i just finished lunch and i'm going to be working on tagging my music [17:15] rick_h_: I won't tell you how it ends [17:15] suffice to say one team beat another team [17:16] apparently they don't do tie games [17:16] I already know [17:16] I'm just hanging out because there's pizza..if you can call it that...and good wifi :) [17:16] why aren't you catching up on Downton, rick_h_? [17:16] ;) [17:16] South African Pizza? boggles the mind [17:16] pizza + wifi = heaven. [17:16] yea, pretty much [17:17] gamerchick02: Because he already watched the UK broadcast [17:17] aww man. lucky duck [17:17] no PBS cuts in that one [17:17] 10% more UK [17:17] ;) [17:17] :) [17:17] lol [17:18] Don't have to have some rich lady tell you how much she likes PBS [17:18] so dang true [17:18] bbiab. Lunch. [17:19] enjoy [17:45] back [17:52] how was lunch? [17:53] it was a party! [17:53] :) [17:53] rick_h_: you have wine with that pizza and football? [17:57] jrwren: bottle of http://www.journeysend.co.za/winery.html I picked up from the wine festival I went to yesterday [17:57] over 40 wineries in one field to try for $13 [17:57] :) [17:57] was a good day yesterday [17:58] did you know ahead of time that it was there, or was this a huge lucky find? [17:58] jrwren: Mark S suggested we check it out if we were coming in so I did :) [17:58] it seemed like a decent way to spend a day [18:00] http://boingboing.net/2014/08/12/remembering-robin-williams-ci.html it's taken me five months to get to reading this. [18:27] rick_h_: South African wine is quite good [18:28] on par with Aussie wine which I like [18:28] gamerchick02: Yeah, Robin Williams death hit me pretty hard [18:29] hit me REALLY hard. like "pow right in the feels" [18:29] Really like the Shiraz but JoDee doesn't care for them [18:29] usually celebrity deaths don't hit me like that but whoa [18:29] so we generally get Merlots which we both like [18:30] re wine: i usually drink MI wines... [18:30] (and i prefer white anyway...) [18:31] Loves me some reds [18:31] though I don't mind the white wines from time to time [18:32] :) [18:32] I like some MI wines as well [18:32] Tend to like more of the sweeter wines up here [18:32] yeah! [18:33] Though the old addage of "they'll ferment most anything" is true of a lot of MI wine [18:33] Cherry wine in particular [18:33] blech. [18:33] ew [18:47] I love Cherry wine [18:47] Drank a bottle cranberry recently too. Awesome [18:47] So flavorful [18:48] * brousch sets another Dutch licorice coin on his tongue [18:48] Strawberry was always my favorite fruit wine. [18:49] Can't say I've tried it. blueberry is very powerful though [18:50] mmm Blueberry [18:51] barley wine is good [18:52] The nastiest wine I've had is asparagus [18:52] Barley wine will mess you up. [18:52] Cheap wine that you can get in Ohio that is not to bad for fruits. http://www.breitenbachwine.com/ [18:52] I never seen it in MI when I lived there. [18:53] cmaloney: yea, wine festival was a good thing [18:53] Probably because we have a hundred good wineries already ;) [18:54] I only seen cherry/apple in MI for fruits. [18:54] Yeah MI has some great wineries and brewerys. Wish I could get Founders out here. [18:55] We have some decent blueberry fields on the west side [18:55] My friend in Charleston, SC has Founders. Surely you do too [18:56] I have not seen it out here. I am not sure if they distubute past MO. [18:59] Checked their site no one within 100 miles of my zip has it. [19:00] wow [19:01] you can't order it and have it shipped? [19:02] Shipping alcohol across state borders is not trivial [19:02] ah. [19:03] I will just get some next time I am in STL. [19:03] I have seen Bells a few times but they want 11.99 a 6 pack [19:04] dang! [19:04] Seems reasonable [19:05] Yeah.... I enjoy two hearted but not that much. We have alot of good beers here in Colorado [19:05] trudat [19:06] woot! I have working trackpoint buttons! [19:06] <3 working for this company, kernel folks to fix me up ftw! [19:06] trackpoint buttons? [19:06] IBM laptop? [19:06] yea, on the new laptopst [19:06] went back to thinkpad [19:06] Nice! [19:06] <3 [19:06] but it's a bit too new for crap to 'just work' yet [19:07] I like my thinkpad's too. What model do you have? [19:07] the 3rd gen x1 carbon [19:07] I never realized that was a button [19:07] well the trackpoint is back to having buttons vs 'click on the touchpad' [19:07] and the buttons didn't work [19:08] I have heard good things about those carbon's [19:08] yea, 2800x1400 px touchless display <3 [19:08] damn [19:08] depends on the bells. expedition stout is $18 for a 6 pack, and worth every penny [19:08] touchless. WHAT YEAR IS THIS? [19:09] rick_h_: wtf, how did you do that? I need an eMMC fix for my Acer. [19:09] Yeah that expedition stout is so freaking good. Puts the buzz on too. [19:09] jrwren: jcastro hooked me up with folks from the server team here [19:09] and they took 5min to fix it and then they wanted to check it all out, file a bug, and both are looking at getting one now [19:09] rick_h_: oh man! so jelly. [19:10] <3 I want them to get one because then they'll make it all worky worky [19:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1417209 [19:10] rick_h_: you've convinced me to bring my acer to next sprint. [19:10] jrwren: definitely! [19:20] akelling: I think that's the going rate [19:20] Bells beer went up in price [19:20] Porter is 10.49 at Meijer [19:21] Though it goes on special from time to time [19:21] rick_h_: That's awesome. [19:22] O really cmaloney. Was 8.99 or 9.99 for a 6 pack in July. But if it went up in price then I dont feel as bad about it. [19:22] Yeah, it got expensive in the fall [19:22] Like "Have to think about this one" expensive [19:24] gotcha [19:38] funny how that $1 makes a difference, isn't it? [19:39] well its a 3 dollar diffrence to me. [19:49] It's a couple of bucks, but yeah [19:49] becomes a $10 six pack instead of a 8.99 six pack. :) [19:52] becomes a shorts or other brewery six pack instead of a bells six pack :p [20:22] Yeah [21:50] rick_h_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4061720/trouble-getting-pylint-to-find-inherited-methods-in-pylons-sa-models [21:50] Ran into this one online. :) [21:50] * cmaloney is listening to Gojira - Oroborus [22:38] * cmaloney is listening to Gojira - Vacuity [22:38] I swear this song is such a anger releaser [22:39] most things you listen to are :)
