[01:10] <ChinnoDog> hello
[01:32] <NegativeFlare> hi ChinnoDog
[03:21] <holstein> o/
[04:49] <ChinnoDog> Does this loco have meetings or are there only tales of meetings?
[04:49] <holstein> ChinnoDog: used to
[04:50] <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 :)
[04:51] <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..
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <ChinnoDog> Beaufort
[04:54] <ChinnoDog> I'm not from around here. I found Ashville on google and it is.. aways.
[04:54] <holstein> sure
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <holstein> ChinnoDog: are you part of http://www.cclue.org/ ?
[04:58] <ChinnoDog> No, but it sounds like I need to be. Thanks for the link!
[05:01] <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.
[05:02] <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..
[05:03] <ChinnoDog> Ok, meetings in a private world hosted using the open SL protocol.
[05:04] <holstein> you can join one of the ubuntu teams
[05:04] <holstein> xubuntu, main ubuntu.. lubuntu.. ubuntu mate.. they are all active
[05:11] <NegativeFlare> heh
[05:11] <NegativeFlare> holstein: I would love to get involved myself :P Mainly with the IRC stuff, website, etc
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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,
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <NegativeFlare> Darn.
[05:23] <holstein> i try and keep wednesday open for my girlfriend
[05:23] <holstein> thats why im saying, im personally about 8 months from being able to commit to spearheading anything
[05:23] <holstein> im spread thing
[05:23] <holstein> thin*
[05:24] <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 go to school on monday and wednesday daytimes
[05:24] <NegativeFlare> We'll figure something out
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <holstein> as i told all the LUG, if i get a job, i *will* bail. and i wont be at the meeting..
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <NegativeFlare> heh
[05:28] <NegativeFlare> good night
[05:33] <ChinnoDog> NegativeFlare: If it kills you?
[05:34] <NegativeFlare> ChinnoDog: figure of speech sir :P
[05:37] <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.
[17:42] <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
