[01:10] hello [01:32] hi ChinnoDog [03:21] o/ [04:49] Does this loco have meetings or are there only tales of meetings? [04:49] ChinnoDog: used to [04:50] this loco, is, as of now, dead [04:50] That is what I was afraid of. Sad how that happens. [04:50] no tales.. there were actual physical meetings, and IRC meetings [04:50] i will, as time permits, be setting things back up.. likely in the fall [04:50] you, as well as anyone else, is always welcome to setup a meeting :) [04:51] 'if you build it, they will come' as the saying goes.. [04:51] Of course. I'm probably not near any of you though. [04:51] sure.. dont have to be for IRC meetings [04:51] and, *someone* is near you.. [04:52] i mean, if you dont/cant do it, i get it.. im busy now as well.. im just allergic to excuses ;) [04:52] anyways. where are you, ChinnoDog ? we have an active local linux users group here in asheville [04:53] Beaufort [04:54] I'm not from around here. I found Ashville on google and it is.. aways. [04:54] sure [04:55] the meetings were and can be mostly IRC based [04:55] i havent been out that way in a while.. i used to drive over there more [04:56] ChinnoDog: are you part of http://www.cclue.org/ ? [04:58] No, but it sounds like I need to be. Thanks for the link! [05:01] Hmm. Their meetings are over two hours drive from here. [05:01] sure [05:01] you can start your own [05:01] Sometimes I think I should set up a LoCo in Second Life. [05:02] well, folks that use linux are typically not that interested in proprietary things like that [05:02] but, it wont hurt, for sure [05:02] i mean, folks either come or they dont.. [05:03] Ok, meetings in a private world hosted using the open SL protocol. [05:04] you can join one of the ubuntu teams [05:04] xubuntu, main ubuntu.. lubuntu.. ubuntu mate.. they are all active [05:11] heh [05:11] holstein: I would love to get involved myself :P Mainly with the IRC stuff, website, etc [05:13] sounds great! [05:13] NegativeFlare: are you on the mailing list? im sure its dead by now, but, thats where we would find interested parties [05:13] NegativeFlare: if you want to host a prelimiary meeting, id be interested in helping out [05:13] oh? [05:13] holstein: Well, fyi [05:14] I used to be Ubuntu US SC's Team Leader at one point [05:14] Until I got married and moved. [05:14] Then they replaced me xD [05:14] cool [05:14] Didn't have time to pay attention to them anymore? lol [05:14] im not team lead.. and not interested in being team lead [05:14] id much rather just have a group, first [05:15] ChinnoDog: no, life got in the way. [05:15] i will be able to facilitate things later in the year, but, right now, all i can offer is assistance [05:15] 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] (IRC meeting that is) [05:15] cool [05:15] again, only one way to find out [05:16] thats how i will start, when i start [05:16] heh [05:16] alright [05:16] I'll see what I can do [05:16] 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] til folks do show up [05:16] if you think no one will come, and dont want to host, dont [05:16] Alright, I'll see what I can do man. [05:16] holstein: there's no hurt in trying [05:16] if you want to try and want my help, i will help, for sure [05:17] No one wants to host meetings because they think no one will come but then they do. [05:17] Alright, I'll do that tomorrow [05:17] ChinnoDog: Nah, I'm going to do this. [05:17] I'm going to resurrect this team if it kills me xD [05:18] alright [05:18] I set myself a reminder [05:18] so I'll be doing that tomorrow [05:18] you mean, setting up a meeting time, [05:19] i wont be around tomorrow.. i work all afternoon [05:19] holstein: yes [05:19] i'll be around late.. i have a concert in hendersonville [05:19] lol [05:19] i say, set the time that works best for you.. then, see what happens [05:20] That's what I'm planning on doing [05:20] if you want a loose availability for me.. tuesday mornings are usually ok.. 9 to 10.. [05:20] friday day time. usually free from 11 til the gig.. which depends on what im doing [05:20] usually til around 3 or so [05:21] Heh, it'll have to be in the afternoon, or in the evening. Mainly because I have work as wel :P [05:21] well* [05:21] sure.. its just that i work in the evenings. so, i cant promise you i can make that meeting time [05:21] not that that needs to or should be a deal breaker [05:21] holstein: hmm [05:21] we'll figure it out [05:21] uh [05:22] holstein: so wait, you work everyday, in the evenings? [05:22] Even weekends? [05:22] depends [05:22] i have steady monday, tuesday, friday, and saturday things [05:22] but, sundays, i almost always work.. and thursdays too [05:23] Darn. [05:23] i try and keep wednesday open for my girlfriend [05:23] thats why im saying, im personally about 8 months from being able to commit to spearheading anything [05:23] im spread thing [05:23] thin* [05:24] holstein: Well, let me figure out when I'm off one morning, and we'll work it out then. [05:24] How's that sound? [05:24] and thats just my regular job.. i have a hobby-ish tech thing i do on thursdays all day [05:24] and i teach on tuesdays [05:24] and go to school on monday and wednesday daytimes [05:24] We'll figure something out [05:25] and, i eat and sleep in there somewhere.. build things.. try and watch TV .. .etc [05:25] "all work and no play" as the saying goes.. [05:25] holstein: I'll give you my schedule on Wed., like I'll just PM it to you [05:25] and go from there [05:25] well, i say, just make it happen [05:25] whatever time you can, and see what happens [05:25] dont plan it around me, for sure [05:25] not now [05:25] heh, alright [05:26] as i told all the LUG, if i get a job, i *will* bail. and i wont be at the meeting.. [05:27] unfortunately, i would have to do the same with an IRC meeting for now.. [05:27] til i get things thinned out a bit more.. [05:27] We'll I'll stand up and try to turn things around then. [05:27] sure. go for it :) [05:27] glad to see some action [05:27] anyways.. ZZzzzZZZZzz.. GN all [05:28] heh [05:28] good night [05:33] NegativeFlare: If it kills you? [05:34] ChinnoDog: figure of speech sir :P [05:37] 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] ChinnoDog: its a lot of effort to keep them going [17:42] also, there was a lot of folks who didnt like the direction of main ubuntu, and bailed
