[03:11] <Roguehorse> so the bot is dead?
[03:14] <ianorlin> not sure
[03:14] <ianorlin> nhaines plei2 any clue what to do now?
[03:15] <nhaines> Oh hey, my alarm didn't go off!
[03:15] <ianorlin> #topic find a failover for when the bot is down
[03:15] <nhaines> ianorlin: we just do the meeting manually, no big deal.
[03:16] <nhaines> Okay, so welcome to the meeting, everyone!
[03:17] <nhaines> Roguehorse, glad you could make it.  :)

[03:17] <Roguehorse> back
[03:18] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[03:19] <nhaines> UbuCon Summit and SCALE 14x are in Pasadena on January 21st-24th.  UbuCon Summit is free, and SCALE is $85 for a full all access pass and $15 for just the expo floor.
[03:19] <nhaines> Use the coupon code UBNTU to get half of the full SCALE pass.
[03:19] <nhaines> Are ther any other events coming up this month?
[03:20] <Roguehorse> unfortunately I've been too busy with other things to check
[03:22] <nhaines> Okay, apparently nothing planned.  Well, with the holidays that's to be expected.  :)
[03:23] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[03:23] <nhaines> The Ubuntu California leadership nomination passed, with only three nominations.
[03:23] <nhaines> As per procedure, this means that the nominees are confirmed without an election.
[03:23] <nhaines> So from January 1st, 2016 on, myself, ianorlin, and pleia2 are on the Ubuntu California leadership team.
[03:24] <nhaines> I'd like to thank elky for all of her hard work for the team this year, and for continued success in her endeavours.
[03:24] <Roguehorse> sounds good 😆
[03:25] <nhaines> And I'd also like to thank pleia2 for volunteering to help, although truth be told she already helps out a ton, so there shouldn't be much difference now.
[03:25] <nhaines> Does anyone else have business to announce?
[03:26] <Roguehorse> It looks like I'll still be running EBLUG
[03:27] <nhaines> Roguehorse: that's good to hear!  I hope things pick up again in January.
[03:28] <Roguehorse> yeah, 3 months away, I suspect not much has changed,but we'll find out
[03:29] <nhaines> Okay then, onto our agenda items for tonight.
[03:30] <nhaines> #topic Meetup group progress.
[03:30] <nhaines> So far, with little advertising, our Meetup group has 57 members and 35 RSVPs for UbuCon Summit.
[03:30] <nhaines> I think that's a pretty good start for just a couple of weeks.
[03:30] <Roguehorse> This is new to me, will have to check it out.
[03:31] <nhaines> The group is located at http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/
[03:31] <nhaines> I'd like to encourage everyone to use it for their events, so do let me or pleia2 know if you're hosting a public event and we can get things set up for you there.
[03:32] <ianorlin> ok
[03:32] <Roguehorse> cool 👍
[03:34] <nhaines> #topic SCaLE 14X planning
[03:34] <nhaines> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x
[03:34] <nhaines> UbuCon Summit planning is proceeding at speed and we're pretty close to done there.
[03:35] <nhaines> The Ubuntu booth will be double-sized this year, so we'll still need lots of volunteers.
[03:35] <nhaines> Canonical is helping to sponsor the booth, and so we'll finally have that vertical banner that I've wanted for so long.  I've also requested Ubuntu Infographic t-shirts for the booth volunteers this time around.
[03:36] <nhaines> Volunteers will need to be able to talk about Ubuntu and answer simple questions, and greet booth visitors.
[03:37] <ianorlin> also is the booth bigger ? as last year we almost had so many volunteers it would turn off shy people from visiting the booth
[03:37] <nhaines> You don't need to be an Ubuntu expert, and in fact it's going to be a great opportunity to learn more about Ubuntu in the cloud, on phones, and in the Internet of Things.
[03:37] <nhaines> ianorlin: yes, as I mentioned, we have twice as much booth space this year.
[03:37] <ianorlin> although the show floor can get loud
[03:39] <nhaines> Anyone can stop by and greet people for a little bit, but anyone who can fill a 4 hour shift (with a break if desired) will receive a SCALE exhibitor badge the allows access to the entire show for free.
[03:40] <nhaines> Also, I expect we'll have some Arizona LoCo members to help us again this year.
[03:41] <nhaines> So please feel free to sign up at the wiki page if you can make it.
[03:42] <nhaines> We'll have retail and developer phones to show off and we'll also be showing off the phone's convergence features.
[03:43] <ianorlin> hmm ok anything else needed for the booth?
[03:43] <nhaines> Plus we'll have an orange box and Canonical employees by to talk about some of the details.
[03:44] <nhaines> I think the only thing left is incidentals, most of which I'm covering thanks to community funds and with what's left over from last year.
[03:44] <nhaines> But the full list is on the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x
[03:45] <nhaines> So mostly we need volunteers.
[03:45] <nhaines> That's about all I have for that now.
[03:45] <nhaines> Any questions?
[03:46] <Roguehorse> what would I have to pay for? room and food?
[03:46] <ianorlin> and getting there I think
[03:46] <nhaines> Roguehorse: everything except admission.
[03:47] <Roguehorse> let me think on it. funds are still limited right now.
[03:48] <nhaines> Okay, let us know by signing up on the wiki page and also at Meetup!
[03:48] <Roguehorse> k
[03:48] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[03:49] <nhaines> This is our last meeting for the year.  Before we wrap things up, is there anything else?
[03:50] <Roguehorse> nah
[03:51] <nhaines> Okay, our next meeting is on January 10, 2016.
[03:51] <nhaines> Happy holidays, everyone!
