[20:56] <yotux> is anyone around this afternoon?
[20:58] <tsimonq2> hello yotux :)
[20:58] <tsimonq2> yotux: how are you?
[20:59] <yotux> tsimonq2: I am good was reading some of the mailing list items
[21:00] <yotux> was not sure if this was active cahnnel or just people hanging around
[21:02] <yotux> tsimonq2:thank you for the wiki page think it will help
[21:05] <tsimonq2> :)
[21:05] <tsimonq2> yotux: so what are your thoughts?
[21:06] <yotux> tsimonq2:Seems I have been removed from the group on launchpad
[21:06] <yotux> tsimonq2:I think the socail aspect needs to be built and from there the sub-locals can group
[21:07] <tsimonq2> what do you mean by that?
[21:07] <yotux> IE: Madison area users get together form a relationship and then transform into a working group
[21:07] <tsimonq2> I see
[21:07] <yotux> or one could say start with a working group so there is a better foundation
[21:08] <tsimonq2> where are you again?
[21:08] <tsimonq2> just curious
[21:08] <yotux> Portage, so lets say Madison
[21:09] <yotux> I was going to Chicago for a Loco a few years ago and then life changed and the group changed
[21:09] <tsimonq2> so you said you are no longer a part of the Launchpad team?
[21:09] <tsimonq2> I see
[21:09] <yotux> Looking at my launchpad account no
[21:09] <tsimonq2> I'll add you
[21:09] <tsimonq2> (if you don't mind)
[21:09] <yotux> unless I am in the wrong place
[21:09] <tsimonq2> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-wisconsin
[21:09] <tsimonq2> added :)
[21:10] <yotux> you can add me I have talked with my wife and asked if I could try and get ubuntu users together
[21:10] <tsimonq2> awesome :)
[21:10] <tsimonq2> I think it would be a really good idea to have a meetup in Madison
[21:10] <tsimonq2> like a release party
[21:11] <yotux> I agree socail but also advocate for Ubutnu
[21:12] <yotux> my lauchpad page seems intereseted states I joined Wi loco 2007-06-12 but it was not there before your edit
[21:12] <tsimonq2> well imho although advocation is good, we need a team to do that ;)
[21:12] <tsimonq2> I see
[21:12] <yotux> I agree
[21:13] <tsimonq2> well I'm 14 so I'd have to ask my dad, but I think an Ubuntu Hour in the Green Bay area would be good
[21:13] <tsimonq2> Mike Putnam is actually in the Fox Valley
[21:13] <tsimonq2> but most of the users that responded are from Madison
[21:13] <yotux> I am 34 a school bus driver at the moment
[21:13] <tsimonq2> I see :)
[21:14] <tsimonq2> where do you use Linux? just at home or elsewhere?
[21:14] <yotux> Thank you for being a strong adovate at your age its inspiring
[21:14] <tsimonq2> thank you :)
[21:14] <yotux> I have a home server, desktop, and also a VPN at a remote server farm
[21:14] <tsimonq2> I see
[21:15] <yotux> laptop also but thats home user
[21:15] <tsimonq2> yeah my computer runs Lubuntu and at school we have Chromebooks
[21:15] <tsimonq2> so I frequently use Linux
[21:15] <yotux> how does one add thier name to the wiki page
[21:15] <tsimonq2> are you logged in to the wiki?
[21:16] <yotux> Sady most of the schools have adopted Google Edu and that has lead to chromebooks being the norm
[21:16] <tsimonq2> yeah our school has
[21:16] <yotux> I like FOSS and Google to me is not really FOSS
[21:16] <tsimonq2> I agree
[21:17] <tsimonq2> I installed Ubuntu on my old system in February of 2015, then moved to Lubuntu and started contributing to the project in July 2015
[21:17] <tsimonq2> I got my Ubuntu Membership on February 4, 2016
[21:18] <tsimonq2> so I love this community
[21:18] <yotux> I started with Ubutnu in 2005 and moved to Kubuntu 2 years ago
[21:18] <tsimonq2> ohh I see
[21:18] <tsimonq2> the people who run Kubuntu are really nice and KDE is my choice for a full-blown DE
[21:18] <tsimonq2> I am using LXQt right now
[21:18] <yotux> not impressed with 16.04 seems a little rushed and maybe broken
[21:19] <tsimonq2> I don't use Unity so I can't vouch for that ;)
[21:20] <tsimonq2> anyways
[21:20] <yotux> Myself I have a hardtime with the graphics around Unity I understand why it is here but prefer alt options
[21:20] <tsimonq2> yeah
[21:20] <tsimonq2> so in a bit I'll go to the ML asking about 16.10's release party
[21:21] <yotux> sound like a good idea
[21:21] <tsimonq2> AFAIR it's gonna be a better release than 16.04, we have big plans ;)
[21:21] <yotux> thats the hard part 16.04 is an LTS, so it should be better than 16.10 imho
[21:22] <tsimonq2> well the LTS is for stability
[21:22] <tsimonq2> which we obviously didn't have in this release XD
[21:22] <yotux> I agree
[21:23] <yotux> Kubuntu is going through a culture change so I will be give them extra slack
[21:23] <tsimonq2> I see :)
[21:24] <yotux>  tsimonq2: are yout the only one added people to the location wiki
[21:24] <yotux> sorry can't type today
[21:24] <tsimonq2> nope, Ian and Alex have added themselves
[21:25] <tsimonq2> are you logged into the wiki?
[21:25] <yotux> I think that I am
[21:26] <tsimonq2> can you edit it?
[21:26] <tsimonq2> unless you just want to give me the details and I can just plug it in
[21:27] <yotux> found a link, so how does know if there are an ubuntu member
[21:28] <yotux> reading the membership I would say no, I have not went to the council
[21:29] <tsimonq2> let me look at your LP page
[21:29] <tsimonq2> nope, you are not
[21:30] <tsimonq2> yay it looks good :)
[21:31] <yotux> Thanks I have limited knowledge, I use google to help learn new skills
[21:31] <tsimonq2> heh I think that's everyone ;)
