[00:01] Whew, all caught up on event pages and so on. Well one thing's for sure... I'll know who prepared before the meeting by following the links in the agenda. [01:49] george mulak here [01:50] hello! [01:54] Hi george_! [01:55] Hey my friend. the DVI to HDMI didn't work. [01:55] Good to be here. [01:56] Might'e been the older DVI on the motherboard. Any luck with changing the resolution? [01:56] Why do I always have trouble finding our agenda. I'm embarrased [01:56] Haven't worked on that yet. Had to set up chat on this old laptop.... [01:56] It's always at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam, linked from the header. [01:56] [404] Title: [CaliforniaTeam, - Ubuntu Wiki] [01:57] I'm on the california team website... [01:57] You need to be on the Ubuntu Wiki on the CaliforniaTeam page. [01:58] Oh, it's on the WIKI page. Duh, thanks. [01:59] No worries! :) [02:00] Looks exciting! [02:00] #startmeeting [02:00] Meeting started Mon Oct 19 02:00:04 2015 UTC. The chair is nhaines. Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.

[02:00] The agenda can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15October18 [02:00] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15October18 - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:00] Before we begin, can we get a show of hands to see who's here? [02:00] George Mulak here [02:02] Okay, we have two very important agenda items today. [02:02] Before we get to that... [02:02] #topic Upcoming events [02:02] Does anyone have any upcoming events they'd like to talk about? [02:03] We're going to talk about SCaLE booth, yes? [02:03] Later, yes. [02:03] OK [02:03] I haven't heard about the 15.10 release party up in San Francisco lately. Hopefully it's all working out. [02:04] #topic Announcements [02:04] Does anyone want to announce anything before we move on to the main agenda items? [02:05] I am petitioning for money to remodel the computer lab featuring Ubuntu in HB [02:06] HB means? [02:06] ianorlin: Huntington Beach. [02:07] So sorry, Huntington Beach. I am part of a lab there [02:07] That's good news. Check Microcenter for inexpensive, refurbished office machines that ought to handle Ubuntu just fine. [02:07] Thanks. [02:07] At this point I'd probably recommend Ubuntu 15.10 with a planned 16.04 LTS upgrade. [02:07] Reasoning: http://www.nhaines.com/blog/2014/01/03/which-version-of-ubuntu-do-i-install/ [02:07] Title: [Which version of Ubuntu do I install? | Nathan Haines] [02:07] Thanks, good idea [02:08] Keep us informed. :) [02:08] Will do. I am pretty excited. [02:08] In other news, Ubuntu 15.10 will be released on Thursday, October 22nd. [02:09] So that's coming up this week. [02:09] #topic Ubuntu California LoCo reverification application [02:10] It's been two years since the LoCo Council last reviewed Ubuntu California, so that means we're up for review again to keep "verified" status. [02:10] This is important because it signifies a sustained contribution to the Ubuntu project, and allows us to receive funding and swag for events. [02:11] Can you refresh my memory about that process, please? [02:11] The reverification application is availble here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/ReVerificationApplication2015 [02:11] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/ReVerificationApplication2015 - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:11] OK, thanks. [02:11] The full process is outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines [02:11] Title: [LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:11] Reverification is more of a health check to make sure we're on track and continuing to be active. [02:12] is there a reason that the google+ page is not listed [02:12] ianorlin: because I don't know about it. Feel free to add it. [02:13] The next Local Community Council meeting is on Tuesday, and I've added it to their agenda here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda [02:13] Title: [LoCoCouncil/Agenda - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:14] iamorlin: Can you help with the navigation to google+ page? Please? [02:15] I'm on the LoCo Council, but I will abstain from the vote on our team. [02:16] Does anybody have any questions about the process? [02:16] https://plus.google.com/u/0/113937347200810618664/about is the page [02:16] [R: plus.google.com] Title: [Ubuntu California - About - Google+] [02:16] I'll be the dummy here I guess. Vote for what exactly. I haven't had time to read the process [02:17] Thank you darthrobot [02:17] After a LoCo team has been verified as active, the LoCo Council does a health check every 2 years to ensure that it has remained active. [02:17] On Tuesday, the LoCo Council will vote to determine whether Ubuntu California should remain a verified active LoCo team. [02:17] so it is like renewing drivers license but every two years [02:18] Something like that, yes. [02:18] I see. That is good. [02:18] Verified teams qualify for more comprehensive conference packs, which is really about the only difference between verified and unverified teams. [02:19] Well we seem pretty active with SCaLE and Ubuntu hours and releases.... [02:19] I'd like to see us more active with release parties. But maybe we can talk to SGVLUG about that. They're going pretty strong. :) [02:20] Anyway, I don't anticipate any issues. [02:20] Any other questions? [02:20] Do you thing San Gabriel LUG will do them? [02:20] The releases that is? [02:21] I think they might. They meet monthly anyway, so I'm sure they won't mind a presentation on the new Ubuntu features. Especially since 16.04 LTS should have some cool convergence stuff to look forward towards 16.10. [02:21] I'll talk to OCLUG, too, but I expect to have another release party and installfest for 16.04 LTS too. [02:22] That is great news! I'll have to be more active with them. [02:22] We have a strong contingency of SGVLUG members that meet every month before the meeting to hold an Ubuntu Hour [02:22] I haven't mentioned this to them yet, but they've always been up for it. :) [02:22] jbermudes: that's right, and that could be a nice release party even if SGVLUG itself isn't. [02:22] I didn't realize that. Have you been going up there? [02:23] That Pasadena Ubuntu Hour is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. :) [02:23] nhaines: when does the pasadena ubuntu hour happen? [02:23] It is a bit of a drive for me might be hard to get buy in from my dad [02:24] george_: second Tuesday of each month, from 6-7pm. [02:24] iamorlin: give me a shout out, perhaps we can work somnething out and you can tag along [02:25] george_: Yes. Me and Richard Gaskin are both members of SGVLUG and started the Ubuntu Hour as a sort of pre-game to the main attraction of whatever's happening at SGVLUG that night [02:25] nhaines: thanks. [02:26] jbermudes: cool, good job! [02:26] Any other questions about the reverification process? [02:27] Not right now. [02:28] #topic Ubucon Summit at SCaLE 14X [02:28] Okay, plans are well underway for SCaLE 14X. [02:29] We might be getting more booth space, and I'm working with Canonical to provide Snappy Ubuntu Core-powered devices to fill up that extra space. [02:29] We will hopefully also be showcasing phones and some of the newer capabilities there as well. [02:30] Cool. Which devices? [02:30] Raspberry Pi 2s, hopefully some kind of robot or drone... [02:30] With it not being directly at a hotel could this create problems for booth setup [02:31] Michael Hall said he wasn't sure he couldn't get one of GE's refrigerators, but if they do I said we should stock it with Ubuntu Cola to give out. [02:31] how are we going to move one of those? [02:31] We were mostly joking but it would be as cool as it was funny, so we'll see how that worked out. [02:31] They are mini fridges. [02:31] They have a dock [02:32] The venue will deal with all of that. And setting up the booth shouldn't be any more trouble that it already is anyway. [02:32] Should be the exact same process. [02:32] Maybe a little easier, since this is the Pasadena Convention Center's only reason for existence. [02:33] Ubucon Summit is also expanding to be a two-day event with two separate tracks. [02:33] Very exciting [02:34] We'll have a mass audience keynote talk for each day, and then a community track and a developer track. [02:34] Great! [02:34] Canonical is endorsing Ubuntu Summit as an official Ubuntu developer event and is sending key Ubuntu developers to attend for the developer unconference tracks, and will be sponsoring Ubuntu community members as well. [02:35] Richard and I are still working hard to line up speakers, although we already have some promising community members. [02:35] The theme for Ubucon Summit at SCaLE 14X will be the future of Ubuntu, and I'll be giving a talk directly after the opening keynote on that topic. [02:35] Sounds good. [02:36] But we've locked in Thursday's opening keynote speaker, thanks to philipballew approaching him earlier this year. [02:36] Any idea on who is doing the keynotes yet? [02:36] The main Ubucon announcement will hapen this week, but since Ubuntu California is helping out with Ubucon, you all get to hear it early. [02:36] Mark Shuttleworth will be giving the opening keynote for Ubucon Summit at SCaLE 14X. [02:37] nhaines, I only had to hold him down for a few minutes before he agreed. [02:37] Wow! That is great news! [02:37] philipballew: that's what he gets for not having his cadre of bodyguards near at hand. :) [02:37] philipballew: is lurking lurking! :-) [02:37] philipballew: Did you have to prefix your request with sudo? [02:37] sudo come speak at scale [02:37] jbermudes: no, because Canonical already has root on every Ubuntu box. [02:38] nhaines: Good point! [02:38] I actually had to start his speaking process with systemd jbermudes [02:38] philipballew: funny. [02:38] So Ubucon will be pre-scheduled talks on Thursday, and then a keynote or two on Friday followed by unconference sessions. [02:39] Although I think the developer track might do unconference stuff Thursday, too, but the Canonical guys enjoy the talks too, so we'll see. [02:39] When will this be publicly announced? [02:40] We're also working with Canonical to sponsor a pre-Ubucon get together Wednesday night as well as another get together Thursday night. (SCaLE will host their own get together Friday night). [02:40] so many get-togethers [02:40] Specifically, we're working on getting sponsored drink tickets. So stay tuned. :) [02:40] nhaines, was it true that all these parties are at your house? [02:40] This being a mini-UDS-style official Ubuntu summit, socialization is important, and then the unconference sessions can be business. [02:41] philipballew: no, but it is true that I offered to collect any unused drink tickets and take care of them to... prevent litter. [02:41] your are such a good person nhaines [02:41] I do what I can! [02:41] george_: David Planella was going to write up the announcement for us. [02:42] And for the sake of everyone coming in from out of town, Richard Gaskin is looking around to find someplace close to the venue, hopefully within walking distance [02:42] But if you know of anywhere nice in the Pasadena area, feel free to PM me after the meeting [02:43] nhaines, I think that it would be good to make up a advertisement, maybe online, or a print off and different people in each part of the state can hand it our at their lugs. [02:43] or some marketing [02:43] And I can report that Richard and I have been meeting with SCaLE and Canonical for weekly planning calls, and SCaLE and Canonical have been incredibly helpful. [02:43] philipballew: I think that'd be a fantastic idea. Can you do some work in that area? Maybe post to the mailing list or to the wiki page and get things started? [02:44] nhaines, sure. I will email the list and ask for some help with that from people who can help with each of their lugs. Also we have a list of lugs in the state we can use. [02:44] We're also going to need to look at ubucon.org. I think that we want to migrate its contents to a Django and Symposion base, so we could use help with web development and design. [02:44] there are plenty of lugs that none of us go to. [02:45] an example is the lug in Fresno that is a good size [02:45] philipballew: Yes, thank you Phillip, cool. Contact me and I will help as I can to call, etc. [02:45] george_, perfect. Lets try to see what we can do [02:45] philipballew: Let's make a list and split it up even steven, OK? [02:45] And Ubucon is part of SCaLE, so it should be on-topic for any LUG. [02:46] yeah. I think on our wiki we have a lug list [02:46] let me doubble check to see how out of date it is [02:46] I'll be mirroring the official announcement on the Ubuntu California, OCLUG, and SGVLUG mailing lists once it's published. [02:46] philipballew: OK, please let me know. Use the tierratek email address, OK/ [02:46] So keep an eye out for further information, and remember that Mark Shuttleworth's apperance has not been officially announced. [02:47] Shhhhh! :-) LOL, like that will be a secret long. [02:47] I'll have you know I've only told 5 people. :) [02:47] :-) [02:48] Okay, so plenty of long term plans underway. Hopefully a few things to chew on before then, like Ubucon publicity and web dev stuff. [02:48] #topic Other business [02:49] Does anybody else have something to add before we wrap this meeting up? [02:49] I suppose since the topic of SGVLUG came up earlier I should just go ahead and mention it: [02:49] nhaines, we have a lot of lugs if we want to reach them all. [02:50] but those can be yours I guess? [02:50] The SGVLUG is celebrating it's 20th anniversary on November 14th in Pasadena! [02:50] And so we're throwing a party and inviting anyone in the socal area to celebrate with us [02:50] philipballew: those are the only ones I'm active or semi-active in, and they are the closest ones to SCALE itself. [02:51] jbermudes: That's news! What are they going to do? [02:51] la has a solid lug to right? [02:51] jbermudes: The event looks like a lot of fun! I'm not certain I'm going to be able to make it, which makes me sad! [02:51] philipballew: none I'm aware of. [02:51] http://www.sgvlug.org/2015/11/14/twentieth-anniversary/ [02:51] Title: [Twentieth Anniversary - SGVLUG] [02:51] LA has a fragmented history of LUGs. They sort of start up and then go idle every few years, which makes SGVLUG's 20th something to be proud of :) [02:52] Haha, definitely! [02:52] ucla has a god one [02:52] good [02:52] philipballew: sounds divine. [02:52] oh, its very divine [02:52] nhaines: groooaann [02:52] RSVPs are required since we need a headcount for food, but feel free to sign up at our eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sgvlug-20th-anniversary-party-tickets-18956875525 [02:52] Title: [SGVLUG 20th Anniversary Party Tickets, Pasadena | Eventbrite] [02:53] BOOM! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups [02:53] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:53] Assuming they arrive this week like they're supposed to, I'll be providing signed copies of my book to SGVLUG to raffle off at their 20th anniversary party. :) [02:54] Yes, I hope so too. Ubuntu has played a big part in the revitalization and growth of SGVLUG so we'd be happy to host Ubuntu LoCo members :) [02:55] I look forward to getting out there again to talk, whenever that ends up happening. :) [02:55] We actually help run the SCALE A/V team and most of the machines run Xubuntu IIRC. [02:55] Ooh, I didn't know you guys used Xubuntu. [02:55] It's in those machines in each room that run the projectors [02:56] I'm sure you'll be excited to see how the Pasadena Convention Center works out. :) [02:56] well I don't like parking at ucla [02:56] Okay, anything else before we wrap this meeting up? [02:57] * ianorlin has nothing [02:58] george_ has nothing [02:58] In that case, I'll see everyone at our next meeting on November 1st at 7pm PST, because Daylight Savings Time ends that day. [02:58] Happy Halloween, everyone! [02:58] #endmeeting [02:58] Meeting ended Mon Oct 19 02:58:21 2015 UTC. [02:58] Minutes: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2015/ubuntu-us-ca.2015-10-19-02.00.moin.txt [02:59] so where is the meeting after party? [02:59] * philipballew hunts for his party shirt [02:59] philipballew: Good idea! too bad I am in Sonora, CA [03:00] It's in this glass of adequate whiskey I have here. [03:00] And if I may say, it looks a little underattended. [03:00] * philipballew is in Sacramento area [03:00] george_, Sonora is a nice area [03:00] Yes, 2 hours southeast of Sacramento [03:01] Yup, my Mom lives up here and then I have business in Nevada and Taho [03:02] My company is promoting their new fanless with Ubuntu [03:02] oh wow. That seems pretty cool. I like that idea. [03:04] It's a nice machine: It's on the right hand side: The HA4770:http://www.tierratek.com/ [03:04] Title: [Tierratek Custom Computers] [03:04] darthrobot: Thank you! [03:05] We don't really advertise Ubuntu, but I do when I visit IT people in my travels [03:05] I have some dates with purchasing in Carson City on Tuesday [03:05] george_, oh cool. Carson City is a nice place [03:06] its hot though usually [03:06] philipballew: It the state government [03:06] seat [03:07] yeah. The capitol there is nice. [03:08] I have never been there === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-ca to: 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, November 1st, at 7:00pm PST (UTC -8:00) This channel is logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic [03:09] philipballew: how are we going to split up the LUGS, what do I have to do? [03:10] You are right, we are off topic. another irc? [03:12] phillipballew: Let's meet on another IRC channel and discuss how to tackle LUGS for Ubucon announcements [03:12] george_, im not too sure. I think just find a way to list all active lugs and either email their heads and ask them to deliver a message or else email their list themselves [03:13] I think some sort of graphic would be cool to have. [03:13] but I can try my art skills I think, but I am not a graphic designer [03:13] OK. Should we wait for the official announcement? [03:14] george_, probably, but in the meantime we should be able to make the list. [03:14] Of Ubucon and Shuttleworth, that is: [03:14] i think the link I posted is mostly complete, but it will need to be updated. [03:14] philipballew: OK, would you please make the list for the announcement and give me my part, please? [03:14] as well as it might not hurt to email some from neighboring states [03:15] george_, sure! [03:15] like Las Vegas has a lug, and so does Reno. [03:15] phillipballew: Of course! It is a world wide event now! [03:15] I got a few friends from the Tijuana lug I will invite as well [03:15] george_, its a fun event for sure [03:15] Ubuntu Arizona has always been super helpful at SCALE. [03:16] oh nice [03:16] please give me names, contacts of LUGS in South Lake Tahoe, Carson City Nv, and Sacramento area [03:17] I will be in those areas for the next 10 days, OK [03:17] george_, yeah. alright. [03:17] I am going to have to make the list up still [03:17] I can do sac as I here about half of my life [03:17] philipballew: Is that OK? Is it doable? Please? [03:18] philipballew: You lived in Sacramento? [03:18] george_, it is doable, but if you wanna help me update the wiki I posted here earlier, you are more than welcome [03:19] philipballew: You are too kind. You don't remember how you had to help me update the wiki last time? Or was that Nathan. [03:19] I am happy to learn though..... [03:19] george_, it might have been me. [03:20] philipballew: Yup, your fault I'm here. [03:21] george_, well you dont need to do the wiki directly, but if you and I wanna see the list of lugs and google their name or open their site and see if they are active and like make a list with a yes or no or something like that that is just on like a .doc file, thats fine to [03:21] also like you might need to email the people to. [03:21] I am gonna try to go in and add the cities there who need work, [03:21] then just email all them scale stuff [03:22] the wiki updating thing is not really scale related, but it is good to have a complete list of lugs. [03:22] OK, what about announcing Ubucon? [03:22] george_, yeah, same thing I guess [03:22] I said scale, but ment ubucon [03:22] meant [03:22] like all we need to do is find a way to email the major lugs about ubucon. [03:23] Might as well promote both? Two in one? [03:23] george_, I guess. [03:23] I am not sure if the scale team promotes scale, but by promoting ubucon, we are promoting scale indirectly. [03:24] Exactly. Promote both, more chances to get someone interested. [03:26] yeah. I think that is we or someone can make a flyer to let people on the list promote themselves that would be easy as well [03:26] if we can get artsy! [03:27] philipballew: Can you start with the list for the Ubucon update and then get me a how to/what to do somehow? [03:27] I have conference call capability too. [03:28] Is there a Ubucon web page? [03:28] george_, yeah. im gonna get on that this week. [03:29] idk [03:29] george_: http://www.ubucon.org/ [03:29] Title: [Ubucon - Ubuntu Community Conferences] [03:29] nhaines: Isn't he good! Thanks [03:30] Awesome! [03:30] nhaines: Is the new SCaLE 14X going to be on it and can we get it updated? [03:30] We need to send out emails, make it simple and point to it, please? [03:31] george_: as mentioned during the meeting, we're looking for web developers to help out with a Django/Symposion backend. [03:31] But it's going to be advertising Ubucon FOSSETCON 2015 before it's pointing at Ubucon Summit at SCaLE14x. [03:31] http://www.ubucon.org/scale/scale14x/ might be the better place to point it, but not until we've gotten the new software in place. [03:31] [404] Title: [404 Not Found] [03:31] I see. I don't know Django or I would help, sorry [03:33] Who do we know that knows Django? [03:35] Donno, but I'll probably mail the list this week. [03:36] nhaines: That would be good, thank you for that. [03:37] Does anyone know if SCale will post Ubucon on their website also? [03:37] phillipballew: Are you still working with them? [03:39] george_, I am on scale staff yes, but I not sure about that. I would think it is on the schedule just like any other event inside of scale though [03:40] Looking on SCaLE page now.... [03:43] Yes, SCALE will continue to host speaker and schedule information for Ubucon. [03:44] nhaines: Thank you for that info. Should Philip just use the existing Ubucon graphics for a flyer and then point to the web page at SCaLE? Recommendations, thoughts? [03:45] Hopefully in two weeks we'll have something presentable at ubucon.org. [03:46] OK, that's fine. [03:46] My concern is that Is then two months away after that happens [03:47] Will people have enough time to plan to be there? [03:47] Or am I worrying? [03:47] I said weeks. :) [03:48] I know, but after those two weeks, it happens in only two months. Sorry didn't mean to be confusing. [03:50] Well, the sooner the better, but right now ubucon.org isn't appropriate and once we get everything set up, that's what we'll be pushing. [03:51] OK, not a problem. [03:51] I am officially in "NO worry" mode. [03:52] LOL [03:52] lol [03:52] I'll wait for Phillip and otherwise let me know what you need me to do. [03:53] Please remember, I promote for a living. So use me for all I got, here to be of service. Sincerely, [03:54] Talk you you folks later. Phillipballew: email me soon, OK? [03:54] Thanks for being at the meeting and offering your help, george_. :) [03:55] I would walk to the moon for you if I could Nathan. You know that. [03:55] I never doubt it for a moment. [03:56] :-) [04:09] george_, yeah. i will soon. if for some reason I do not, bug me. [04:09] george_, do you have my cell number? [04:09] ah, I see you left [04:09] well so when he sees it again [04:09] 530-305-6497 === blitz is now known as ztilb === ztilb is now known as blitz [23:23] pleia2: ping! [23:31] Alternately, ianorlin: ping. [23:51] hi nhaines
