[03:01] <pleia2> ^^ agenda :)
[03:01] <pleia2> #topic Upcoming events
[03:02] <pleia2> so we've got an Ubuntu Hour coming up in Berkeley on Feb 14th http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3290-ubuntu-hour-berkeley/
[03:02] <pleia2> I'll also likely host one in San Francisco on Wednesday, but time got away from me so I haven't added it to the LTP or Meetup, or announced it, I should do that tonight
[03:03] <pleia2> any other events that aren't listed?
[03:03] <nhaines> SGVLUG has a meeting on February 11th.  The topic is "Building a Community." http://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/227991894/
[03:03] <nhaines> Liz Krane will be talking about her experience growing the Learn to Code LA Meetup group to 2200 members in less than a year.
[03:03] <ianorlin> ok sounds nice but is still a bit of a drive for me
[03:04] <nhaines> They'll also be raffling off some leftover stuff from SCALE, so if you really miss Pasadena, it's a good excuse to go back.  :)
[03:04] <pleia2> nhaines: any thoughts as to how we could convince Richard to start posting announcements to his Pasadena Ubuntu Hours to the team? or at least adding them to LTP or meetup?
[03:05] <pleia2> they're kind of invisible to the team at the moment, which is ashame for folks looking for LA-focused events (I don't remember the details for them, so I struggle to help people find info about them)
[03:05] <nhaines> pleia2: That's a good question.  I owe him a phone call, so I'll mention it to him this week.
[03:05] <pleia2> cool
[03:06] <pleia2> sounds like that LUG meeting should be fun
[03:06] <pleia2> #topic Announcements
[03:06] <pleia2> anyone have any announcements?
[03:07]  * ianorlin does not
[03:07] <pleia2> tablet news last week was pretty big :) http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/02/04/canonical-reinvents-the-personal-mobile-computing-experience/
[03:07] <pleia2> and our own nhaines is organizing the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase this cycle http://nhaines.livejournal.com/69721.html
[03:08] <nhaines> Yes!
[03:08] <pleia2> materials for that get included in an LTS, which I learned at SCALE is what 97% of ubuntu users use
[03:09] <nhaines> TIL some people aren't perpetually running devel.
[03:09] <pleia2> hehe
[03:09] <pleia2> "some"
[03:10] <pleia2> it does offer perspective on the decision to switch to only 9 months support for the 6 months releases
[03:10] <nhaines> Indeed.
[03:11] <nhaines> I still think they should've waited two more interrim releases to do so, though.
[03:11] <pleia2> it was a bit abrupt
[03:12] <pleia2> alright, so moving along
[03:12] <pleia2> #topic UbuCon Summit / SCALE 14x post-mortem meeting.
[03:12] <pleia2> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x
[03:12] <pleia2> I updated the wiki earlier with links to photos (are there other galleries of photos? Please add links!), blog posts and videos from the ubucon summit
[03:13] <nhaines> I believe I received photos from David Ellsworth, but I think we ran into a weird sharing name collision in OwnCloud, so I will troubleshoot.
[03:14] <pleia2> fun times
[03:15] <nhaines> I'd say UbuCon was a giant success.
[03:15] <pleia2> I agree :)
[03:16] <pleia2> I hope Canonical also found value in it and will continue supporting us in the future, and maybe some other UbuCons too
[03:16] <pleia2> nhaines: were you at the organizing team wrap-up meeting last week?
[03:17] <nhaines> pleia2: no, I couldn't make it, so that's another reason I owe Richard a phone call.
[03:17] <nhaines> But everything I've heard from Canonical so far is that they were very happy.
[03:17] <pleia2> I wasn't either (wrong side of the planet)
[03:17] <pleia2> that's good to hear :)
[03:18] <nhaines> And I believe they'll be working with UbuCon Europe as well.  I'll be sitting in on that meeting Tuesday, if I can be up at 6:30am, which is always dubious.
[03:18] <pleia2> nice
[03:18] <pleia2> haha, yeah
[03:18] <ianorlin> yeah it went really well
[03:18] <nhaines> Probably the only thing I would do differently for UbuCon is to feature the Q&A more centrally.
[03:19] <ianorlin> nhaines: that would probably be nice
[03:19] <nhaines> But outside of that, I thought the unconference portion turned out really well.
[03:19] <pleia2> I would have liked to hear some more results from the unconference
[03:20] <pleia2> like how the track leads at UOS do a summary hangout to share
[03:20] <pleia2> so maybe a conclusion session where each group shares something
[03:20] <nhaines> That's a really good idea.
[03:20] <ianorlin> unconferences yeah that could be good sharing what happened at the others is one thing that could be better
[03:22] <nhaines> I thought the booth worked very well also, although I think we could've used that extra table after all.
[03:22] <pleia2> yeah, every time I came by the booth it was quite busy
[03:23] <ianorlin> yeah it seems booth has been quite busy last three years
[03:23] <nhaines> The booth's been really busy all 8 years.
[03:24] <pleia2> hehe
[03:25] <nhaines> The convergence demo was a huge hit.  It'll be really exciting next year when it's running legacy desktop apps, too.
[03:25]  * pleia2 nods
[03:26] <nhaines> Was there anything the booth could've done better or differently?
[03:27] <pleia2> no ideas from me
[03:28] <nhaines> The booth is pretty much a known quantity these days.
[03:28] <ianorlin> yep
[03:29] <nhaines> I would like to specifically thank Luis Caballero for being an absolute rockstar at the booth Friday and Saturday.
[03:29] <pleia2> yay, thanks Luis!
[03:29] <nhaines> Even the Canonical community team mentioned it to me.
[03:32] <nhaines> So to me, UbuCon Summit and SCALE were a giant success because a lot of people came together and worked hard.
[03:33] <pleia2> ++
[03:33] <pleia2> excellent work everyone :) I had a blast
[03:33] <nhaines> Richard and I are always trying to keep from getting complacent about UbuCon, but I think the general formula works.  :)
[03:35] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
[03:36] <pleia2> anything else for this meeting?
[03:36]  * ianorlin does not have anything
[03:36] <nhaines> Nothing from me.
[03:37] <pleia2> alrighty, thanks guys
[03:37] <pleia2> #endmeeting
[03:38] <pleia2> I wonder what happened to the bot
[03:38] <pleia2> not that we strictly use the minutes that come from it
[03:40] <nhaines> Yeah.  I should look into that some time soon.
[03:40] <nhaines> It's going to be tomorrow, though, because I'm sick or something today.
[03:41] <nhaines> (So thanks for all the wiki maintenance this week!)
[03:43] <pleia2> hope you feel better :\
[03:43] <pleia2> I'm pretty excited that I managed to do SCALE and LCA without catching anything
[03:44] <nhaines> Thanks!  This is my second year in a row that I didn't get sick after SCALE *because* of SCALE.
[03:44] <nhaines> Although I suspect that being too busy to eat so all my meals outside of dinner consisted of Soylent didn't hurt this year.
[03:45] <nhaines> That's probably better than I eat all the rest of the year anyway.
[03:47] <pleia2> hah
[03:51] <nhaines> I also walked 20.5 miles at SCALE (plus another 3.5 on the following Monday) and lost something like 2.5 pounds, which was kind of nice.
[03:52] <pleia2> crazy :)
[03:53] <nhaines> It means I made the right decision when we went to Yard House and I ordered the lobster artichoke dip and didn't share any.
[03:54] <pleia2> that sounds delicious
[07:44] <pleia2> doing meeting rotation tasks on a serverely jetlagged brain, so feel free to pitch in if I've missed anything :)
[07:47] <nhaines> Duly noted!  :)
