| ianorlin | hmm only 2 people have been nominated | 02:03 |
| ianorlin | I might be a littel late but am really quite hungry | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | freenode has been subject to ddos attacks throughout the us holiday, so lots of netsplits and connection woes | 02:58 |
| nhaines | Yeah, it's been a shame. | 02:59 |
| nhaines | Hopefully everything stays stable for our meeting. Which is now! | 03:00 |
| nhaines | #startmeeting | 03:00 |
| nhaines | !startmeeting | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Hm. | 03:00 |
| EureCA | Factoid startmeeting not found | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Shush, you. | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Okay, manual logs this time around! :) | 03:00 |
| nhaines | #startmeeting | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Welcome to the penultimate Ubuntu California LoCo meeting this year! | 03:01 |
| nhaines | This meeting's agenda can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/15November29 | 03:01 |
| nhaines | Can we get a show of hands for attendance? | 03:01 |
| darkwizardjack | Newbie here! | 03:02 |
| nhaines | darkwizardjack: welcome! | 03:03 |
| darkwizardjack | TY | 03:03 |
| nhaines | Hmm, usually the attendance thing is more popular. :) | 03:05 |
| nhaines | Okay, so first up on the agenda... | 03:05 |
| nhaines | #topic Upcoming Events. | 03:05 |
| nhaines | pleia2: Ubuntu Hour San Francisco is back again, right? | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | o/ | 03:06 |
| pleia2 | yes, we have one coming up the 2nd wednesday in december | 03:06 |
| pleia2 | #link http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3261-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/ | 03:06 |
| nhaines | That's the 9th. Sounds like fun! | 03:06 |
| pleia2 | and one coming up on our next meeting day (earlier in the day) in berkeley on the 13th | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | #link http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2997-ubuntu-hour-berkeley/ | 03:07 |
| nhaines | Oh, that'll be nice. I hope the weather is pleasant for both of them! | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | they're both indoors anyway ;) | 03:08 |
| nhaines | My favorite way to enjoy rain *is* through a window. :) | 03:09 |
| nhaines | But good weather makes the trip less dreary anyway. | 03:09 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:09 | |
| nhaines | Glad UH is back. Thank sfor that, pleia2. :) | 03:09 |
| nhaines | #topic Announcements | 03:09 |
| nhaines | Are there any general announcements before we move on to tonight's agenda items? | 03:10 |
| pleia2 | I don't have anything | 03:10 |
| nhaines | Me either. This meeting might be a victim of the Freenode DDOS attacks, unfortunately. | 03:11 |
| nhaines | Okay, we can always come back to that later. | 03:11 |
| nhaines | #topic We have a meetup group now, what should we do with it? | 03:11 |
| nhaines | So we have a Meetup group now! http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/ | 03:11 |
| pleia2 | right, so we're one of the trial teams for the ubuntu community funds supported meetup groups | 03:12 |
| pleia2 | but we also have the loco team portal, which we've always used and have events and RSVPs on | 03:12 |
| nhaines | pleia2: actually, I believe Canonical is funding this without the community funds. :) | 03:12 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: oh, that's nice :) | 03:12 |
| pleia2 | admittedly, the loco team portal is not used much, some people have trouble logging in, not much development is happening... | 03:13 |
| nhaines | pleia2: yeah, they didn't want it to be dependant on donation amounts. :) | 03:13 |
| pleia2 | that's good | 03:13 |
| pleia2 | still, the loco team portal is open source and I like how clean and non-spammy it is | 03:13 |
| nhaines | So one of the alleged benefits of a Meetup group is that we can use it for external outreach to non-Ubuntu community members. Which is nice because that's part of our mandate as a LoCo team. | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | yeah, and already without much mentioning of it, we have 21 members | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | some of whom I recognize from other meetups I go to, not from ubuntu anything | 03:14 |
| nhaines | And we already have 21 new users--right. :) Only 3 or 4 of which are Ubuntu people. | 03:14 |
| nhaines | So that's a promising start! | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | I'm inclined to duplicate the events I run across both things | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | it's messy, but eh | 03:15 |
| nhaines | I think that's a good idea for now. The plan is to extend the LoCo directory so that creating the event there duplicates it to Meetup.com automatically. | 03:15 |
| ianorlin | wow finally got here | 03:16 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: ah, that'd be nice | 03:16 |
| nhaines | But that's work and the loco directory is mostly in maintenance mode. But if we can show that Meetup is popular, that will probably spur action in that regard. | 03:16 |
| nhaines | So for now we're using it for Ubucon Summit registration. | 03:16 |
| pleia2 | I'll add the SF ubuntu hour | 03:17 |
| nhaines | Great! | 03:17 |
| nhaines | I hope to see more public events this next year, and I think Meetup.com will really help get the word out. | 03:18 |
| ianorlin | yes it will and maybe get more people that might offer places | 03:18 |
| nhaines | So I think we're off to a small but very promising start. | 03:19 |
| nhaines | Let's try to get in-person events listed there as we plan them out. | 03:19 |
| nhaines | Any other comments on Meetup.com? | 03:19 |
| pleia2 | I think that's it really | 03:21 |
| nhaines | #topic Ubuntu California Leadership nominations | 03:21 |
| nhaines | The call for nominations is still open! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership/2015 | 03:21 |
| nhaines | For another week, actually. | 03:22 |
| nhaines | Until December 5th, which is now reflected on the wiki page. | 03:22 |
| nhaines | Leadership is fairly simple, because all LoCo members in Ubuntu California are basically empowered to work on anything they like. | 03:23 |
| pleia2 | so we just need one more brave soul to put their name forward to get the minimum | 03:23 |
| nhaines | So it's more administrative. Running the meetings, updating the wiki, sending out email notifications, and so forth. | 03:23 |
| nhaines | Yup, it would be nice to have a real election. | 03:23 |
| ianorlin | hmm right no don't we have nhaines and I nominated so hopefully at least one or two people from bay area | 03:24 |
| ianorlin | or farther north asa that is a bit of a commute for say a release party | 03:24 |
| nhaines | Yes, it'd be nice to have the representation. Although it's mainly symbolic. | 03:25 |
| nhaines | So the day after the nomination period closes, we'll start the election. | 03:26 |
| nhaines | Anyone who is a member of http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california/ is eligible to vote. | 03:26 |
| nhaines | The election will end on December 12th, and then we'll announce the results at the December 13th meeting before we break for the rest of the year. | 03:28 |
| nhaines | That's about all I have on that topic. | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | we'll also need someone to volunteer who is not running to run the election, if there is one | 03:29 |
| nhaines | Yes, that would be helpful! | 03:30 |
| nhaines | So if you're interested, please volunteer on the mailing list. | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | but I guess we'll cross that bridge if we get to it :) | 03:30 |
| nhaines | Yup. :) | 03:30 |
| ianorlin | How many meetings in new year before scale? | 03:32 |
| nhaines | Just one. | 03:32 |
| ianorlin | ah ok | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately it's likely much too late to ask my employer for funding for the event | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | I really needed that info 2 months ago | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | so hopefully whatever funding is needed has come together | 03:33 |
| nhaines | Yes, Canonical's still working on it. | 03:34 |
| nhaines | The sponsorship brochure is finished but I wasn't able to get the address. It's on the Ubucon site. | 03:35 |
| nhaines | Which is http://ubucon.org/ and is looking great. It should get fully filled in over the next week. | 03:35 |
| pleia2 | hopefully they'll be able to get it together earlier next year | 03:36 |
| pleia2 | can't ask for funding less than 8 weeks before an event, particularly with the holidays in the way | 03:37 |
| nhaines | I think so. The new venue made it difficult to get funding information together. | 03:37 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:37 | |
| nhaines | But all the planning is coming together well. We'll need booth volunteers soon! | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | great | 03:38 |
| nhaines | Anyone interested can sign up here ;) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x | 03:38 |
| nhaines | And that's easy too. We'll need booth volunteers who can greet SCALE attendees and answer simple questions about Ubuntu. | 03:39 |
| nhaines | We'll also have phones and IoT devices running snappy Ubuntu Core to demonstrate. So it's worth volunteering, and you'll get to be the first to experience those things hands on. | 03:40 |
| nhaines | Okay, about time to wrap everything up for tonight, I think. | 03:40 |
| nhaines | #topic Other business | 03:41 |
| nhaines | Any other business or comments before we wrap up tonight? | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | I'm all set | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | thanks for charing :) | 03:41 |
| nhaines | Thanks. :) | 03:42 |
| * nhaines assumes pleia2 meant chairing and not charring. | 03:42 | |
| nhaines | I already cooked earlier. ; ) | 03:42 |
| nhaines | Okay, thanks to everyone for coming tonight! | 03:42 |
| nhaines | #endmeeting | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | charring :d | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | I woke up on the other coast, it's been a long day :) | 03:44 |
| nhaines | darkwizardjack: glad you could join us tonight! How do you use Ubuntu? | 03:46 |
| pleia2 | at least they use ipv6 :) | 03:47 |
| nhaines | Haha, yes! | 03:52 |
| === 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, December 13th, 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 | ||
| pleia2 | the "location" bit about the meetup group may make things tricky | 04:00 |
| pleia2 | it's listed as being located in los angeles, so it may not get out to the folks in SF for our events up here | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | I don't know how to make that better though :\ | 04:01 |
| nhaines | Yeah. I'm assured that the events themselves *should* still show up locally. | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | ok :) | 04:02 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: now that we sort of agreed to use it for now, want to formally announce the group to the team in an email? | 04:04 |
| pleia2 | it was mentioned during the meeting email, but people would have to really read that :) | 04:04 |
| nhaines | pleia2: oh yeah, that's a good idea! | 04:05 |
| pleia2 | I can put it on social media too | 04:06 |
| * pleia2 seeks dinner | 04:17 | |
| nhaines | I can't help but wonder how I can get no phone calls all day and then as soon as there's a meeting I get like 3 phone calls all around it. :) | 04:23 |
| nhaines | Woo, post-meeting stuff done! \o/ | 04:47 |
| nhaines | We got our first mention from the SCALE website. :) http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x/ubucon-summit | 05:09 |
