[02:01] <nhaines> Welcome to the Ubuntu California meeting!  Today's agenda is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15May17
[02:01] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15May17 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:02] <nhaines> First up, we were going to look at how often meetings had agenda items to discuss in 2014.
[02:02] <nhaines> elky was voluntold to perform the analysis, but I haven't heard from her this week.
[02:03] <nhaines> Does anyone have any comments to make about our biweekly meeting schedule before we postpone this topic to next meeting?
[02:04] <nhaines> Oh right, plus we have bot commands that are a thing.
[02:04] <nhaines> #topic Review last year's meeting agenda activity.
[02:07] <nhaines> Okay, so we'll move on and postpone a look at this topic until next meeting.
[02:07] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[02:08] <nhaines> Does anyone have any upcoming events or announcements they would like to mention?
[02:09] <lrcaballero1> nothing here....
[02:12] <nhaines> All right.  I don't have anything else to add either.
[02:12] <nhaines> I've been asked to help out with some training planning which will be cool, but more on that in the future.
[02:13] <nhaines> All right, in that case, we'll bring the meeting to a close for this week.
[02:13] <lrcaballero1> I would like to know more about this....are you accepting volunteers for this?
[02:13] <nhaines> For the training?
[02:14] <lrcaballero1> yes
[02:14] <nhaines> Too far out right now to tell, and I haven't joined on just yet.  But if we do need more volunteers you'll be the first to know.  :)
[02:14] <nhaines> (I accepted the offer to help out, we're looking at early 2016.)
[02:15] <nhaines> Our next meeting is Sunday, May 31st, at 7pm PDT.  Hope to see everyone there!

[02:15] <lrcaballero1> Thank you Nathan, have a wonderful night! I will shoot you an email next time I am in Aliso Viejo maybe we can grab lunch or somehing
[02:15] <nhaines> lrcaballero1: ooh, awesome.  Thanks.  :)
[02:15] <nhaines> That would be pretty cool.
[02:16] <lrcaballero1> See ya...
[02:17] <nhaines> ianorlyn: would you do the honors for the channel topic?
[02:21] <ianorlyn> oops forgot about meeting
[02:24] <ianorlyn>  Welcome to the Ubuntu California Local Community (LoCo) Team! | Website: http://ubuntu-california.org (has links to mailing list, forum, and more!) | Next Meeting: Sunday, May   31st, at 7:00pm PDT (UTC -7:00)

[02:26] <ianorlyn> This channel is publicly logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic
[02:26] <ianorlyn> grr keeps purring second line in
[02:27] <ianorlyn> finally
[03:06] <elky> sorry guys, lost track of time
[03:07] <elky> nhaines: stats are done. haven't sent mail because distractions
[03:08] <elky> mostly because i recorded in gdocs and i don't want to hand format a .txt or deal with the "wah gdocs proprietary evil" discussion
[03:08] <elky> doing dishes is more enticing than either of those options
[03:21] <nhaines> elky: yay, you're alive!  \o/
[03:23] <elky> yeah sorry, left dinner late and then forgot it was sunday
[03:23] <nhaines> Yup, not ignoring my Google Calendar reminders has been useful this week.
[03:23] <nhaines> rww removed himself as an /r/Ubuntu mod without comment, so I don't know what's up with him.  :P
[03:23] <nhaines> How's the bitey monster?
[03:24] <elky> nhaines: he was purging the reddit account as he is want to do
[03:24] <elky> bitey monster is cuteing at the end of our bed where it was warm and sunny earlier
[03:26] <elky> so, reading every. single. meeting. log this week made me think we need to reformat the meeting structure in general.
[03:26] <elky> (well every single '14/'15 log)
[03:28] <elky> i don't think we should be leaving "i did/will $thing next week at $place" to the end. and we should be encouraging "I installed/gave out cds/other small avocacy thing" at the start, rather than at the end before lurkers get bored and walk off.
[03:29] <elky> so i think we might want to try starting with an "announcements and advocacy" bit for the first few mins each meeting.
[03:30] <elky> that's the kind of thing that's getting put in AOB which is probably not the optimal place
[03:32] <elky> i think if people get to boast about installing their neighbours grandma's computer, it might allow them to own the meeting more.
[03:32] <elky> so we shouldnt be discouraging it, even accidentally
[04:19] <nhaines> Interesting.  I like it.
