[01:49] <Roguehorse> who's already here for the meeting?
[01:53] <nhaines> Well, I am.
[01:53] <Roguehorse> never fails, people who can't program always say "just make an excell sheet"
[01:53] <Roguehorse> yay!

[02:00] <pleia2> o/
[02:00] <nhaines> Welcome to tonight's Ubuntu California meeting!
[02:00] <Roguehorse> o/
[02:00] <nhaines> Our agenda is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15June28
[02:00] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15June28 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:00] <nhaines> Glad to see there are a couple people around tonight.  :)
[02:01] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events and announcements
[02:01] <MajB> You got a visitor from AZLOCO as well.
[02:01] <nhaines> MajB: welcome!
[02:01] <MajB> Thank you
[02:01] <pleia2> hi MajB, I owe you an email (or maybe this meeting can help!)
[02:01] <nhaines> So I'm giving a talk at the San Gabriel Valley LUG on July 9th.
[02:02] <Roguehorse> cool
[02:02] <nhaines> I'll be giving a presentation on writing an open source book with a publisher and also talking about how Free Software can take you through the entire self-publishing process.
[02:02] <Roguehorse> oooh......very cool =)
[02:03] <pleia2> nice
[02:03] <Roguehorse> will the notes be available online after?
[02:03] <nhaines> My upcoming traditionally published book has been created with 100% Ubuntu except where I needed a Windows 10 screenshot, with very little difficulties.  So it'll be a fun presentation.
[02:03] <nhaines> I might just wing this one, depending on what I manage to do for a presentation, but if I have notes, or if I can get a recording, I'll get it online somewhere shortly thereafter.
[02:04] <nhaines> I'll know more about that next weekend.
[02:04] <Roguehorse> sweet =)
[02:04] <nhaines> Details at http://www.sgvlug.org/ if anyone down in SoCal wants to try and make it!
[02:04] <darthrobot`> Title: [SGVLUG]
[02:04] <nhaines> Does anyone have any other announcements or upcoming events?
[02:04] <pleia2> not in the loco directory yet, but we'll host our regular ubuntu hour next week, on july 8th
[02:04] <pleia2> in san francisco
[02:04] <pleia2> will likely do a debian dinner after too, but I'll confirm and email the list
[02:05] <pleia2> that's it from me
[02:05] <nhaines> pleia2: ooh, maybe I should put my talk on the LoCo directory.  Thanks for the reminder.  :)
[02:05] <nhaines> And glad to hear that Ubuntu Hour's still going strong up there.  I'll cross my fingers for the dinner.
[02:05] <pleia2> sure
[02:06] <nhaines> Okay, if no one else has anything upcoming...
[02:06] <Roguehorse> I had some stuff lined up but with my health the way it is I don't know much anymore of what's going to happen
[02:07] <nhaines> Roguehorse: I hope your health improves.  Don't be afraid to work with others to get help with those events!
[02:07] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[02:07] <Roguehorse> nhaines: thanks.....I'm trying to juggle a lot
[02:08] <nhaines> That's the end of our agenda items.  Does anyone have any last comments or topics to bring up?
[02:08] <pleia2> MajB: the floor is yours :)
[02:09] <pleia2> MajB emailed me on thursday to talk about some possible cross-loco activities, but they can likely say more about it
[02:09] <MajB> Since we are right next to each other my Team Leader asked me to reach out to you folks to see if we could pool our resources and perhaps do something together
[02:10] <MajB> All I really need right now is  a POC from you folks.
[02:10] <pleia2> nhaines and ianorlyn are among our team leads this year, so they're both good people to contact
[02:11] <MajB> This is something that he has been thinking about for a while and sees that perhaps it is time to start.
[02:11] <Roguehorse> second that
[02:11] <pleia2> and more generally our mailing list, since we're a very self driven group (don't need permission for things, people just dive in): ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com
[02:11] <nhaines> The mailing list is a great idea.  You can email me if you need any specific things but I'm on the mailing list too.  :)
[02:11] <pleia2> the last time I saw folks from the AZ LoCo was at SCALE in 2014, we're always looking for volunteers to help with the booth there
[02:11] <nhaines> My email address is nhaines at ubuntu dot com.
[02:12] <pleia2> and speakers for ubucon that we host :)
[02:12] <MajB> Well we run 4 ubuntu hours and 2 install fests every month.
[02:12] <nhaines> And SCALE's one big place we can always use volunteers.  Ubucon always needs volunteers.  :)
[02:12] <pleia2> MajB: that's wonderful
[02:12] <MajB> Yes we had reps attend SCALE
[02:13] <nhaines> What's the attendance like on your installfests?
[02:13] <MajB> So I will pick a name and continue to email.  I would also like to see something happen
[02:14] <MajB> 12-28 this year.  The Ubuntu Hours are of course less.
[02:15] <MajB> Unfortunately we only have two LUGs in state but we also do things for them when asked
[02:15] <nhaines> That's fantastic!  You should be very proud.
[02:15] <nhaines> And let me put my LoCo Council hat on for a moment and second that.  :)
[02:15] <MajB> The name of the game is spread Ubuntu
[02:15] <Roguehorse> nice =)
[02:16] <nhaines> I hope to hear more on our mailing list, where everyone can get involved.  It sounds like we ought to be able to join together.  :)
[02:16] <MajB> LoCo council.  Yep.  We have re-validation coming up in September.
[02:16] <Roguehorse> MajB: What's your mailing list?
[02:16] <MajB> Wait
[02:16] <nhaines> I look forward to th evaulation.

[02:17] <darthrobot`> Title: [Ubuntu-us-az Info Page]
[02:17] <nhaines> Boy, this wireless keyboard is just fighting me tonight.
[02:17] <nhaines> Great, I'll have to peek at the list archives.
[02:17] <nhaines> Okay, is there any other business before we wrap this up?
[02:18] <MajB> I would check the wiki  to look at activities https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam
[02:18] <darthrobot`> Title: [ArizonaTeam - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:18] <pleia2> MajB: thanks for coming, the work on your team is really inspiring
[02:19] <MajB> Thank you.
[02:19] <Roguehorse> MajB: Yeah..very cool! Thanks for coming over.
[02:19] <pleia2> nhaines: nothing from me
[02:19] <nhaines> pleia2: thanks.
[02:20] <Roguehorse> nhaines: sorry dude, my brain is mush.
[02:20] <nhaines> Okay, so I think that about wraps things up.  As always, you can bring discussion up on our mailing list, and of course, the channel is always open!
[02:21] <nhaines> Our next meeting is Sunday, July 12th, at 7PDT.  By which time https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15July12 will be a thing!

[02:21] <nhaines> Thanks for coming everyone.  Hope to see you next time!

[02:21] <nhaines> MajB: thanks for attending the meeting tonight.  I'm looking forward to working together.
[02:22] <DonkeyHotei> crap, missed everything but the ending
[02:22] <MajB> Excellent.  It should be interesting.
[02:22] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: that was the best part!
[02:22] <nhaines> Plus you were in time for the meeting long URL. :)
[02:22] <MajB> I searched but could not find any example of two LoCos working together on a single project.
[02:23] <Roguehorse> MajB: You're joking?
[02:23] <MajB> Not one that they initiated.
[02:23] <pleia2> when I lived in Pennsylvania I drove up to New York to present at once of their release parties once, would also participate in New Jersey Ubuntu gaming/LAN parties
[02:23] <nhaines> MajB: Ubucon LA comes immediately to mind.  And Ubucon EU is coming next year!
[02:24] <MajB> Well there you go.
[02:25] <Roguehorse> Well, I think it's a great idea. We should all be working together anyway. We're all in this for the same reasons mostly after all. =)
[02:25] <pleia2> indeed :)
[02:26] <MajB> +1
[02:52] <nhaines> Yay, post-meeting stuffs is done!
[22:11] <Roguehorse> what does anyone know about kickstarters?
[22:27] <ianorlin> be careful as if they get funded sometimes they don't deliver
[22:27] <ianorlin> especially for hardware stuff
[23:12] <Roguehorse> no hardware.....this is a software idea
[23:13] <ianorlin> ah that might work better I don't know much about compared to other online people
[23:37] <Roguehorse> no worries. it's a stab. just checking to see what others might know. I haven't considered it until just a few days ago. I think my idea stands a chance though.
[23:39] <pleia2> I've contributed to a few over the years
