| caballero | Hello everyone and good evening! | 03:00 |
| nhaines | caballero: hello! | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Whew, got in and unpacked 5 minutes ago. :) | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Now it's meeting time. | 03:01 |
| nhaines | #startmeeting | 03:01 |
| nhaines | #chair nhaines ianorlin pleia2 | 03:01 |
| nhaines | Hello everyone, and welcome to the first Ubuntu California meeting of 2016! | 03:01 |
| nhaines | Tonight's agenda is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16January10 | 03:02 |
| nhaines | #topic Upcoming Events | 03:02 |
| nhaines | Coming up in a week and a half is the world's first UbuCon Summit in Pasadena! | 03:02 |
| nhaines | The schedule and details are available here: http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-summit-us/ | 03:03 |
| nhaines | UbuCon Summit is a two-day celebration of Ubuntu and community, and is a great time to get together, have fun, and learn about all the crazy new things happening in the project. | 03:04 |
| nhaines | Thursday at 10am is especially exciting because Mark Shuttleworth is giving the opening keynote. | 03:04 |
| caballero | Nice! \o/ | 03:05 |
| nhaines | And Thursday at lunch is almost as exciting because then I'm talking! | 03:05 |
| nhaines | Also I think pleia2 is going to talk or something. | 03:05 |
| nhaines | Friday has some panels before breaking out into unconference sessions, and I've heard a lot of exciting ideas for those, so you don't want to miss it. :) | 03:06 |
| ianorlin | schedule is http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-summit-us/schedule/ | 03:06 |
| nhaines | Anyone who's in Pasadena for UbuCon on Wednesday night can join us for a meet-and-greet with other UbuCon attendees. | 03:06 |
| nhaines | And Thursday night after the first day of UbuCon, we'll all go out for dinner and pass out some drink tickets and have a proper party. :) | 03:07 |
| nhaines | Friday night after UbuCon is the standard SCALE Friday night activities, and all of the organizers will be there, so no special parties then. ;) | 03:07 |
| nhaines | So Ubucon will be January 21-22nd in Pasadena. | 03:08 |
| nhaines | The SCALE 14x expo floor opens at 2pm on January 22nd, and will be open on the 23rd and 24th as well. | 03:08 |
| nhaines | Ubuntu is going to be represented in a huge way there, too. I'll be giving a talk Saturday night about book publishing using Ubuntu, and Mark Shuttleworth will give the Saturday morning keynote. | 03:09 |
| nhaines | Information about SCALE 14x is available at https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x | 03:09 |
| nhaines | Use the coupon code "UBNTU" for 50% off a full-access pass. | 03:10 |
| nhaines | And be sure to stop by the booth because we'll have a lot of Ubuntu devices on hand to demonstrate. | 03:11 |
| nhaines | Final details on the UbuCon parties will be on our Meetup group and our mailing list as soon as I get them. | 03:11 |
| nhaines | Also, if you're going to UbuCon Summit, please RSVP on our Meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/events/227070159/ | 03:12 |
| nhaines | Are there any other upcoming events to announce? | 03:12 |
| MarkDude | Social media links for sharing for Ubucon? Or just share meetup? | 03:12 |
| ianorlin | Or should we do something about getting volunteers | 03:12 |
| DonkeyHotei-mob | MarkDude: are you going? | 03:12 |
| ianorlin | I am not sure I am the best volunteering at the booth because it is a bit loud for me | 03:13 |
| ianorlin | and I don't deal well with that noise | 03:13 |
| nhaines | MarkDude: Just share the Meetup right now. Might be some links in a day or two. | 03:13 |
| MarkDude | Nope, but I have a great volunteer ready. A nice cousin lives in LA, just starting Linux | 03:13 |
| nhaines | ianorlin: volunteer stuff is later, not during event announcements. | 03:13 |
| MarkDude | Cool, ty nhaines :) | 03:13 |
| ianorlin | ah ok | 03:13 |
| nhaines | #topic Announcements | 03:14 |
| nhaines | Does anyone have any Ubuntu-related announcements to make before we move on to our agenda items? | 03:14 |
| ianorlin | no | 03:16 |
| ianorlin | or I shold say I don't | 03:16 |
| nhaines | #topic SCALE 14x Ubuntu booth volunteers needed | 03:17 |
| nhaines | We have a SCALE booth signup sheet available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x | 03:17 |
| nhaines | So far we only have one volunteer other than myself and we need more than that. | 03:18 |
| nhaines | We have four shifts available throughout the weekend, and myself and Canonical employees will be around to train volunteers on the new Ubuntu news and devices so it's a great way to meet people and learn more about Ubuntu at the same time that you're teaching others about Ubuntu. | 03:20 |
| pleia2 | apologies, here now | 03:21 |
| nhaines | And anyone who works one shift will have their full-access badge taken care of by me. :) | 03:21 |
| nhaines | pleia2: welcome! | 03:22 |
| nhaines | pleia2: how do you feel about being stuck at booths? | 03:22 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: no likey | 03:22 |
| ianorlin | I personally find the noise the hardest part for me | 03:22 |
| ianorlin | if you can talk to someone on a crowded convetion floor it would probably work | 03:22 |
| nhaines | pleia2: probably because you don't want to deprive other volunteers of the room to volunteer! | 03:22 |
| pleia2 | but I might sign up for a shift, need to confirm other goings-on (my employer is sending me, so I have work things to do too) | 03:23 |
| pleia2 | they haven't put me on their booth yet, so ;) | 03:23 |
| nhaines | SCALE's the friendliest show around and this is one of the biggest ways we like to train new members who want to do Ubuntu advocacy. :) | 03:24 |
| pleia2 | it's probably my favorite one | 03:24 |
| pleia2 | and I go to a lot of conferences | 03:24 |
| ianorlin | welcome philipballew | 03:25 |
| nhaines | So please consider volunteering for the booth. But I do need to know this week, because we're trying to get shirts for everyone to wear. | 03:25 |
| nhaines | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x | 03:25 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I'm going to try to convince sabdfl to stand near the booth for a little while, although I get the impression he is going to be incredibly busy. | 03:25 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: cool :) | 03:26 |
| ianorlin | when isn't sabdfl busy? | 03:26 |
| nhaines | Okay, any questions at all about SCALE before we warp this meeting up? | 03:27 |
| pleia2 | warp up <3 | 03:27 |
| philipballew | ianorlin, thanks! | 03:27 |
| philipballew | nhaines, I was gonna get handcuffs for him to make him stay | 03:27 |
| ianorlin | #topic any other business | 03:27 |
| ianorlin | when is our next meeting? | 03:27 |
| ianorlin | I think Sunday people travel back from scale probably won't work as pleia2 will be on a plane | 03:28 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:28 | |
| ianorlin | I might be just arriving back and getting dinner | 03:28 |
| ianorlin | and not sure if nhianes would be home yet | 03:28 |
| nhaines | The next meeting is scheduled on the wiki for February 7th. | 03:28 |
| pleia2 | wfm | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | I'm hosting an Ubuntu Hour on Wednesday in SF http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3284-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/ | 03:29 |
| nhaines | We always skip meetings that fall on SCALE weekend. | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | it's at a different starbucks than usual because our usual one changed their hours (for winter? I don't know!) | 03:29 |
| nhaines | In the early days we'd get together afterward for an in-person meeting, but everything's become so big that people fly or drive out Sundays sometimes and everyone's exhausted too. | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it's really chaotic | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | oh, I forgot one scale thing | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | do we have details for party/get togethers? | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | wednesday and thursday nights | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | Friday night is jono's bad voltage live show http://www.badvoltage.org/live/ | 03:31 |
| nhaines | pleia2: no, and I'm trying really hard to get them. | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | (not music, it's a podcast) | 03:32 |
| nhaines | But I'll get them on Meetup the moment I get the details. (I think there are venues selected and there's just last minute details to be set in stone.) | 03:32 |
| caballero | nhaines: I will email you in the next 1 or 2 days...I plan on volunteering again this year... | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: great, thanks | 03:32 |
| nhaines | Also, Bad Voltage Live is awesome even if they did make me come on stage last year and then pull out my arm hair with tape. | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | http://www.jonobacon.org/2016/01/06/bad-voltage-live-in-los-angeles-why-you-should-be-there/ | 03:33 |
| nhaines | caballero: glad to hear it! Be sure to sign up on the wiki as soon as you can, and I look forward to your email. :) | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | ^^ jono's post about it | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | and he also has some questions that need answers for the show: http://www.jonobacon.org/2016/01/08/we-need-your-answers/ | 03:33 |
| ianorlin | what payment methods work for parking? | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | (they're mostly fun questions) | 03:33 |
| nhaines | Oh right, I need to fill that out. :) | 03:34 |
| pleia2 | :) | 03:34 |
| nhaines | ianorlin: no idea. I'd bring cash and a credit card. | 03:35 |
| pleia2 | I think that was all I had | 03:35 |
| nhaines | No bitcoin. :) | 03:35 |
| ianorlin | I don't have credit card I only have debit | 03:35 |
| ianorlin | I could bring cash | 03:35 |
| nhaines | If your debit card has a credit card logo on it, it will suffice. | 03:35 |
| ianorlin | ok | 03:36 |
| nhaines | Okay, I think that's all for now. In two weeks is UbuCon Summit and SCALE! \o/ | 03:36 |
| ianorlin | nightmare place for a card scimmer though | 03:36 |
| ianorlin | skimmer | 03:36 |
| ianorlin | #endmeeting | 03:36 |
| nhaines | Anything else before we move on? | 03:37 |
| caballero | ianorlin: you get a $10 off coupon for each day you attend scale for parking...when you go up to Scale customer service people | 03:37 |
| nhaines | caballero: is that the case this year? | 03:37 |
| caballero | I hope so... | 03:37 |
| ianorlin | new venue I am not sure it is true | 03:38 |
| ianorlin | hence why I asked | 03:38 |
| caballero | Phil: you know anything about this? | 03:38 |
| nhaines | If you're parking at the hotel, there will be shuttles from the Westin. From the Sheraton you can just lay down and roll over to the vene, so should be even easier. | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | sheraton \o/ | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | (though the Westin is a nicer hotel) | 03:38 |
| nhaines | Okay then, if anyone has questions, feel free to ask on the mailing list! | 03:39 |
| ianorlin | I think I am not parking at hotel but driving each day | 03:39 |
| nhaines | But for this meeting, it's a wrap. :) | 03:39 |
| pleia2 | thanks nhaines | 03:39 |
| nhaines | Our next meeting will be on February 7th, 2016. Til then! | 03:39 |
| nhaines | #endmeeting | 03:40 |
| caballero | Goodnight everyone...hope to see you all soon! | 03:40 |
| pleia2 | https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x/parking | 03:40 |
| pleia2 | no words about discounts there | 03:40 |
| nhaines | pleia2: good night! | 03:40 |
| pleia2 | o/ | 03:40 |
| pleia2 | back to book things (which is what made me late) | 03:40 |
| nhaines | Okay, now I can eat, and *then* I will do post-meeting things. | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | enjoy | 03:41 |
| nhaines | pleia2: yay, book things! | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: jeklsjlesjfklsd | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | /o\ | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | it'll be over some day :) | 03:41 |
| nhaines | I have a friend who's written 36k words of his 50k first draft in the last four days. It's been pretty amazing. | 03:41 |
| nhaines | The only crazy thing is that he plans to do another book next week. | 03:42 |
| pleia2 | can he come do mine next? | 03:42 |
| nhaines | Haha, I'll ask! | 03:42 |
| pleia2 | pretty sure that's the rate I need to finish at to hit my really-I-shouldn't-miss-this-deadline deadline | 03:42 |
| nhaines | 10k a day isn't bad. | 03:42 |
| nhaines | Ooh, actually he was at 38k 30 minutes ago. I guess he's going for 40k after all. | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:43 |
| * pleia2 back to salt mines | 03:43 | |
| nhaines | _o/ | 03:43 |
