nhaines_o/03:01
ianorlinwell also keep in mind next month is April03:01
pleia2ianorlin: already? x_x03:02
pleia2so hopefully we will have release parties soon03:02
pleia2I will chat with nhandler this week to see if Yelp can host again03:02
pleia2for reference, release day is April 21st03:03
pleia2I will actually be in town (only barely)03:03
caballeroI am planning with the help of Phil to plan an ubuntu hour in the San Diego area...planning on perhaps the best time would around the release of 16.1003:03
caballerowe are very excited....:-D03:03
pleia2caballero: great :)03:04
pleia2sometimes there are doughnuts at those ubuntu hours, I am jealous03:04
nhainesRelease day is my bithday this year.  :D03:04
pleia2nhaines: woo, nice birthday03:04
pleia2#topic Announcements03:04
pleia2beyond events, anyone have any announcements?03:05
caballeroSorry...just noticed a typo...should've been 16.0403:06
nhainescaballero: sounds even better.  :)03:06
nhainesI think the next Ubuntu phone OTA is end of March, and that should have some really nice convergence features.03:06
nhainesWhich means the bq MX10 tablet shouldn't be terribly far behind.  Will be exciting times.03:07
pleia2yeah, as they have been calling it the first convergence device03:07
caballeroFYI: ubuntu user magazine is due 3/25/2016 for the USA03:08
pleia2how often is that released these days? quarterly?03:08
caballeroevery 4 months03:09
pleia2aha03:09
pleia2alright, we can move on from announcements03:09
pleia2#topic Initial feedback/evaluation of Meetup.com group so far03:09
pleia2#subtopic How it worked for UbuCon Summit and related SCALE14x events03:09
pleia2so I think this was sub-optimal03:10
pleia2everyone had to join the loco in order to rsvp :(03:10
pleia2that was lots of people from all over the world03:10
pleia2and meetup doesn't seem to allow people to join an event and not the group (unless I'm missing a setting)03:10
nhainesIt isn't very tidy, administratively.03:10
nhainesI believe that's true.  Meetup is designed for groups to be topics of interests, not actual groups.03:11
nhainesAt least, that's the focus.03:11
pleia2I did hear some grumbling about having to join for it, and some people just didn't bother (came to the events anyway)03:11
ianorlinyeah I don't really like meetup that way03:13
pleia2any other feedback from how it worked for these events?03:13
caballeroI was getting anywhere form 4 to 7 invitations on a daily basis while Scale 14x03:13
pleia2caballero: for ubuntu california things, or meetup being spammy in general?03:14
ianorlinI think the turning in the everpad notes at unconfrence events did not work the best03:14
nhainesI thought it was interesting to see what other groups people belonged to who joined the Ubuntu California group.03:14
pleia2ianorlin: talking about meetup :)03:14
nhainesAnd it did seem like it gave UbuCon Summit some exposure.03:15
ianorlinyeah and then I think they might still be getting notificatoins about like say the new ubuntu hour03:15
nhainesI think this will be beneficial for future events.03:15
ianorlinwhich kind of does not help when you are that far away03:15
pleia2yeah, meetup does help with exposure (I'll get to that in the next subtopic)03:15
pleia2which seems we're kind of in anyway03:16
pleia2#subtopic How it's working in general as a team resource03:16
caballeroboth: in general it was for everything going on in Scale 14x..and ubuntu too like the party Mark through for the ubuntu community03:16
pleia2I got a complaint from a member in Pasadena about how the SF Ubuntu Hour was too far away http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/events/228693398/03:17
darthrobot[403] Title: [Attention Required! | CloudFlare]03:17
pleia2heh, bot03:17
pleia2so meetup is also really not designed for states03:17
ianorlinpleia2: +103:17
pleia2I am sure all you socal people are annoyed at my monthly SF events03:17
nhainesDoesn't bother me.  I'm quite adept at deleting Meetup emails now.  :)03:18
pleia2lol03:18
pleia2also, most of our members are from socal03:18
pleia2I think that's because the location is set as Los Angeles03:18
nhainesAnd one person did seem to be happy to know that there are Ubuntu Hours up there.  So that was kind of nice.03:18
ianorlinpleia2: less annoying than component mismatches from main that have reverse dependcies in main emails03:18
pleia2it's exciting when I see someone join the group who is bay area03:18
pleia2but we have seen a slight uptick in attendance of Ubuntu Hours here since posting on meetup too, so it is getting to *some* of the right people :)03:19
nhainesThat's good news.  :)03:19
nhainesI wish we had more group events.  That would definitely make Meetup.com more useful.03:19
pleia2yeah03:20
ianorlinYeah meetup tends to give sometimes events you can't go to03:20
pleia2need to make richard add pasadena events03:20
ianorlinor have someone that can add them once they are announced03:20
pleia2are they announced somewher?03:20
ianorlinI don't know03:20
ianorlinbut yeah that would be helpful03:20
caballeromeetup is very useful to spread the word....at least is the impression i get....03:21
nhainespleia2: that's right, actually, I do need to do that.  Although I think they're announced on the SGVLUG Meetup group.03:21
pleia2nhaines: ah :)03:21
pleia2just have him Cc: our list!03:21
pleia2anyway03:22
ianorlinit spreads the word but sometimes to people that can't come because it is too long; can't commute03:22
pleia2I'm kind of meh on meetup, it has gotten 1-2 more people at our Ubuntu Hours, and it'll be interesting to see how/if it helps our release party03:22
pleia2but it's got a lot of annoying things03:22
nhainesThat's about my feeling, too.  I do think that UbuCon Summit was a great way to jumpstart the group membership.03:23
nhainesSo I think that will make the group much more useful than it otherwise would have been.03:23
* pleia2 nods03:23
ianorlin+103:23
pleia2ok, any other thoughts?03:24
pleia2I didn't really expect an action item out of this, I'll keep crossposting events to meetup and loco.u.c03:24
nhainesI think it was good to look back and see how it's beginning to shape up.  Good timing on this.03:25
pleia2#topic Any other business03:26
pleia2anything else?03:26
pleia2I'll be in the wrong part of the planet again for our next meeting03:26
pleia2should keep an eye on the loco mailing list for when they start talking about release parties though03:27
ianorlinpleia2: +103:27
pleia2someone asked in the locoteams channel for them to add the release party event to loco.u.c, but it looks like that hasn't been done yet03:28
nhainesSounds good to me.03:28
caballeropleia2: as we get closer to our announcement for the ubuntu hour in SD I will emailing you...so expect emails from luis.r.caballero@cox.net03:28
pleia2caballero: ok :)03:28
pleia2alright, looks like we can wrap this up03:30
pleia2thanks for coming, everyone03:30
nhaines\o/03:30

caballerogood night...03:30
ianorlin /me goes to get dinner03:30
nhainespleia2: I emailed everyone the group photo for SCALE at least a week ago.  :)03:30
pleia2nhaines: hm, to where?03:31
nhainespleia2: directly to their email addresses.03:31
pleia2including me?03:31
pleia2can not find03:31
nhainesSo I believed.03:31
nhaineshttps://cloud.nhaines.com/index.php/s/fKvAdoLm5KZcMkO03:32
darthrobotTitle: [ownCloud]03:32
pleia2yay03:32
nhainesIt's a little large.03:32
pleia2maybe because you already shared your owncloud thing with me I didn't get an additional email03:32
pleia2if I tweeted this, would it break your owncloud?03:33
pleia2or can we upload to the ubuntu_us_ca flickr group (need license + author)03:33
nhainesI believe that I put the link in an email and you were on the CC: list.  So maybe you weren't!03:34
pleia2also, been a long time since we've used it :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntu-us-ca03:34
darthrobotTitle: [Ubuntu California Team | Flickr - Photo Sharing!]03:34
nhainesUpload it to the Flickr group as copyrighted and the author is David Ellsworth.03:34
nhainesI'll talk to him later about a CC license, but he's being very particular about presentation.03:34
pleia2I need to license it when I upload, so I'll wait until I hear from you about that03:35
nhainesRight, but you can change the license later, unless they've changed that.03:35
pleia2yeah, just don't want to get it wrong and have people copy it around :\ or complain about the license if it's restrictive03:36
pleia2you know the internet03:36
nhainesOkay, I'll try to do a phone call tomorrow.03:36
pleia2thanks for working on this03:36
