| ChinnoDog | hello | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| NegativeFlare | hi ChinnoDog | 01:32 |
| holstein | o/ | 03:21 |
| ChinnoDog | Does this loco have meetings or are there only tales of meetings? | 04:49 |
| holstein | ChinnoDog: used to | 04:49 |
| holstein | this loco, is, as of now, dead | 04:50 |
| ChinnoDog | That is what I was afraid of. Sad how that happens. | 04:50 |
| holstein | no tales.. there were actual physical meetings, and IRC meetings | 04:50 |
| holstein | i will, as time permits, be setting things back up.. likely in the fall | 04:50 |
| holstein | you, as well as anyone else, is always welcome to setup a meeting :) | 04:50 |
| holstein | 'if you build it, they will come' as the saying goes.. | 04:51 |
| ChinnoDog | Of course. I'm probably not near any of you though. | 04:51 |
| holstein | sure.. dont have to be for IRC meetings | 04:51 |
| holstein | and, *someone* is near you.. | 04:51 |
| holstein | i mean, if you dont/cant do it, i get it.. im busy now as well.. im just allergic to excuses ;) | 04:52 |
| holstein | anyways. where are you, ChinnoDog ? we have an active local linux users group here in asheville | 04:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Beaufort | 04:53 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm not from around here. I found Ashville on google and it is.. aways. | 04:54 |
| holstein | sure | 04:54 |
| holstein | the meetings were and can be mostly IRC based | 04:55 |
| holstein | i havent been out that way in a while.. i used to drive over there more | 04:55 |
| holstein | ChinnoDog: are you part of http://www.cclue.org/ ? | 04:56 |
| ChinnoDog | No, but it sounds like I need to be. Thanks for the link! | 04:58 |
| ChinnoDog | Hmm. Their meetings are over two hours drive from here. | 05:01 |
| holstein | sure | 05:01 |
| holstein | you can start your own | 05:01 |
| ChinnoDog | Sometimes I think I should set up a LoCo in Second Life. | 05:01 |
| holstein | well, folks that use linux are typically not that interested in proprietary things like that | 05:02 |
| holstein | but, it wont hurt, for sure | 05:02 |
| holstein | i mean, folks either come or they dont.. | 05:02 |
| ChinnoDog | Ok, meetings in a private world hosted using the open SL protocol. | 05:03 |
| holstein | you can join one of the ubuntu teams | 05:04 |
| holstein | xubuntu, main ubuntu.. lubuntu.. ubuntu mate.. they are all active | 05:04 |
| NegativeFlare | heh | 05:11 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: I would love to get involved myself :P Mainly with the IRC stuff, website, etc | 05:11 |
| holstein | sounds great! | 05:13 |
| holstein | NegativeFlare: are you on the mailing list? im sure its dead by now, but, thats where we would find interested parties | 05:13 |
| holstein | NegativeFlare: if you want to host a prelimiary meeting, id be interested in helping out | 05:13 |
| NegativeFlare | oh? | 05:13 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: Well, fyi | 05:13 |
| NegativeFlare | I used to be Ubuntu US SC's Team Leader at one point | 05:14 |
| NegativeFlare | Until I got married and moved. | 05:14 |
| NegativeFlare | Then they replaced me xD | 05:14 |
| holstein | cool | 05:14 |
| ChinnoDog | Didn't have time to pay attention to them anymore? lol | 05:14 |
| holstein | im not team lead.. and not interested in being team lead | 05:14 |
| holstein | id much rather just have a group, first | 05:14 |
| NegativeFlare | ChinnoDog: no, life got in the way. | 05:15 |
| holstein | i will be able to facilitate things later in the year, but, right now, all i can offer is assistance | 05:15 |
| NegativeFlare | I would love to host a meeting. The only problem is, attendance. Even if I post a thread about having a meeting, I'm not if anyone will come. | 05:15 |
| NegativeFlare | (IRC meeting that is) | 05:15 |
| holstein | cool | 05:15 |
| holstein | again, only one way to find out | 05:15 |
| holstein | thats how i will start, when i start | 05:16 |
| NegativeFlare | heh | 05:16 |
| NegativeFlare | alright | 05:16 |
| NegativeFlare | I'll see what I can do | 05:16 |
| holstein | hosting meetings that, if folks come, great.. if not, i will bounce around the IRC channels and make whatever needs to happen, happen | 05:16 |
| holstein | til folks do show up | 05:16 |
| holstein | if you think no one will come, and dont want to host, dont | 05:16 |
| NegativeFlare | Alright, I'll see what I can do man. | 05:16 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: there's no hurt in trying | 05:16 |
| holstein | if you want to try and want my help, i will help, for sure | 05:16 |
| ChinnoDog | No one wants to host meetings because they think no one will come but then they do. | 05:17 |
| NegativeFlare | Alright, I'll do that tomorrow | 05:17 |
| NegativeFlare | ChinnoDog: Nah, I'm going to do this. | 05:17 |
| NegativeFlare | I'm going to resurrect this team if it kills me xD | 05:17 |
| NegativeFlare | alright | 05:18 |
| NegativeFlare | I set myself a reminder | 05:18 |
| NegativeFlare | so I'll be doing that tomorrow | 05:18 |
| holstein | you mean, setting up a meeting time, | 05:18 |
| holstein | i wont be around tomorrow.. i work all afternoon | 05:19 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: yes | 05:19 |
| holstein | i'll be around late.. i have a concert in hendersonville | 05:19 |
| NegativeFlare | lol | 05:19 |
| holstein | i say, set the time that works best for you.. then, see what happens | 05:19 |
| NegativeFlare | That's what I'm planning on doing | 05:20 |
| holstein | if you want a loose availability for me.. tuesday mornings are usually ok.. 9 to 10.. | 05:20 |
| holstein | friday day time. usually free from 11 til the gig.. which depends on what im doing | 05:20 |
| holstein | usually til around 3 or so | 05:20 |
| NegativeFlare | Heh, it'll have to be in the afternoon, or in the evening. Mainly because I have work as wel :P | 05:21 |
| NegativeFlare | well* | 05:21 |
| holstein | sure.. its just that i work in the evenings. so, i cant promise you i can make that meeting time | 05:21 |
| holstein | not that that needs to or should be a deal breaker | 05:21 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: hmm | 05:21 |
| NegativeFlare | we'll figure it out | 05:21 |
| NegativeFlare | uh | 05:21 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: so wait, you work everyday, in the evenings? | 05:22 |
| NegativeFlare | Even weekends? | 05:22 |
| holstein | depends | 05:22 |
| holstein | i have steady monday, tuesday, friday, and saturday things | 05:22 |
| holstein | but, sundays, i almost always work.. and thursdays too | 05:22 |
| NegativeFlare | Darn. | 05:23 |

| holstein | im spread thing | 05:23 |
| holstein | thin* | 05:23 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: Well, let me figure out when I'm off one morning, and we'll work it out then. | 05:24 |
| NegativeFlare | How's that sound? | 05:24 |
| holstein | and thats just my regular job.. i have a hobby-ish tech thing i do on thursdays all day | 05:24 |
| holstein | and i teach on tuesdays | 05:24 |

| holstein | and, i eat and sleep in there somewhere.. build things.. try and watch TV .. .etc | 05:25 |
| holstein | "all work and no play" as the saying goes.. | 05:25 |
| NegativeFlare | holstein: I'll give you my schedule on Wed., like I'll just PM it to you | 05:25 |
| NegativeFlare | and go from there | 05:25 |
| holstein | well, i say, just make it happen | 05:25 |
| holstein | whatever time you can, and see what happens | 05:25 |
| holstein | dont plan it around me, for sure | 05:25 |
| holstein | not now | 05:25 |
| NegativeFlare | heh, alright | 05:25 |
| holstein | as i told all the LUG, if i get a job, i *will* bail. and i wont be at the meeting.. | 05:26 |
| holstein | unfortunately, i would have to do the same with an IRC meeting for now.. | 05:27 |
| holstein | til i get things thinned out a bit more.. | 05:27 |
| NegativeFlare | We'll I'll stand up and try to turn things around then. | 05:27 |
| holstein | sure. go for it :) | 05:27 |
| holstein | glad to see some action | 05:27 |
| holstein | anyways.. ZZzzzZZZZzz.. GN all | 05:27 |
| NegativeFlare | heh | 05:28 |
| NegativeFlare | good night | 05:28 |
| ChinnoDog | NegativeFlare: If it kills you? | 05:33 |
| NegativeFlare | ChinnoDog: figure of speech sir :P | 05:34 |
| ChinnoDog | Seems like a lot of the LoCos have faded. I don't know if this is really a trend or just what I have observed personally. | 05:37 |
| holstein | ChinnoDog: its a lot of effort to keep them going | 17:42 |
| holstein | also, there was a lot of folks who didnt like the direction of main ubuntu, and bailed | 17:42 |
