[02:00] <nhaines> It's meeting time once again!
[02:01] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[02:01] <nhaines> Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will be released on April 21, 2016, and it includes Snappy, which is going to lead to a single, unified code base on all Ubuntu platforms in the future.
[02:02] <nhaines> So it's exciting times ahead.
[02:02] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[02:02] <nhaines> Does anyone have anything else they'd like to share this week?
[02:03] <DonkeyHotei> wait, so dpkg is gone?
[02:03] <nhaines> No.  Snappy is here.
[02:03] <nhaines> Or `snap` is the command, I think.
[02:03] <DonkeyHotei> snappy replaces dpkg, no?
[02:03] <nhaines> No.
[02:04] <nhaines> The two are unrelated.
[02:06] <pleia2> still struggling to find a venue for the SF release party
[02:06] <pleia2> so it definitely won't be on release day, maybe some time later in May
[02:07] <nhaines> pleia2: tell jono to wave his magic wand!
[02:07] <pleia2> I haven't heard from him, nhandler said he was going to look into it
[02:07] <nhaines> On the bright side, that does give you the opportunity to request Ubuntu DVDs!
[02:07] <pleia2> or usb sticks, apparently
[02:07] <nhaines> And by DVDs I mean USB sticks.
[02:08] <nhaines> And no worries about getting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ones by accident because those ran out two months ago.  :)
[02:10] <pleia2> haha, so I've heard
[02:10] <nhaines> I briefly considered what a release party down here would look like, but I've been so busy the last month that it hasn't really gone anywhere.
[02:11] <nhaines> So maybe in a week or two I can look into it if no one else has!
[02:12] <pleia2> our last LTS one went well, I think it might turn out ok up here to do ours a bit late
[02:13] <nhaines> Yeah, sometimes delayed parties can be fun, and especially with snappy around, there will be lots to talk about.
[02:13] <nhaines> And really, May is still in the "launch period."
[02:14] <nhaines> Okay, well, if there's nothing more, I guess that's meeting's end.  :)
[02:14] <pleia2> thanks for chairing :)
[02:16] <nhaines> Thanks.  :)  I hope to be more present in general in a week or two.

[02:20]  * ianorlin missed the meeting but did not really have anything to say 
[02:32] <nhaines> ianorlin: you were with us in spirit.
[03:01] <nhaines> I think I'll reinstall Ubuntu on my desktop computer this week.  I like doing clean installs around LTS time.
[03:05] <DonkeyHotei> i prefer to upgrade
[03:08] <nhaines> I've already upgraded to xenial.
[03:08] <nhaines> I'm hoping that lxc might help keep my system cleaner this time around, unless Ubuntu Snappy Personal Desktop gets there first.
[03:09] <nhaines> Although technically that's still what I said.
