[00:36] akk: I have a question about Apress royalty reporting when you have some time. :) [00:36] Sure, PM me. [00:36] Thanks! [01:55] meeting in ~5 minutes [01:58] Ooh, I finished building my own Puritine container just in time. Now all the desktop app icons on my tablet work, and also I can stop wasting time on that and get stuff done. :) [02:00] Plus, I took my guitar out of the closet and tuned it. All the strings were down a half step. Now back in the closet for another 7 years! [02:00] * nhaines will learn to play some day. [02:00] Meeting time!

[02:00] Today's agenda is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16May15 [02:00] Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16May15 - Ubuntu Wiki] [02:01] #topic Upcoming events [02:01] Are there any events that are being planned at the moment? (We'll get to release parties soon.) [02:02] * ianorlin is not currently planning any [02:03] #topic Announcements [02:03] nothing from me here eitehr [02:03] The Ubuntu Online Summit wrapped up 10 days ago. [02:04] It was a fun UOS and there was a lot discussed. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS put a lot of technolgies into place that are going to build the last stages of convergence. [02:04] Tons of plans and roadmaps were revealed, and you can see a track summary session held by all the track leads here: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1605/meeting/22691/track-summaries/ [02:04] Title: [Track Summaries - | The Summit Scheduler] [02:05] And you can also view replays of all of the sessions as well. [02:05] Are there any other announcements at this time? [02:08] Okay then, on to our first agenda item. [02:08] #topic 16.04 Release Parties [02:08] so, we haven't had any yet [02:08] \o/ [02:09] I couldn't find a venue on release day here in San Francisco, and then had to postpone until I have more time to organize [02:09] I don't have time yet, but I hope to get something set up for July or so [02:09] pleia2 good idea [02:10] July is when 16.04.1 comes out, which prompts all the upgrades from 14.04, kind of like a 2nd release day ;) [02:10] And now things like the Ubuntu Software Store actually work. :) [02:10] hah, right [02:11] hopefully we'll know more about the usb sticks for 16.04 release too [02:11] there was never an announcement that they were available for locos to request [02:12] (no word on dvd availability either, but there were murmurs about them dropping them entirely) [02:12] Also they're still not available in the Canonical Store. [02:12] yeah, I saw someone complain about that the other day [02:12] The last I heard from Canonical, there would be no DVDs, and when I complained in an UOS session on video they didn't seem too sympathetic. :) [02:13] heh [02:13] if anyone has any downtown SF venue ideas, feel free to let me know (or reply on list to the thread where we're talking about it) [02:13] Although there was talk about producing DVD artwork anyway. [02:13] I'll work to reach out to folks and stuff once I have a bit more time [02:13] that's all from me [02:14] Sounds good. [02:14] why the requirement it be downtown? [02:16] DonkeyHotei: it's where I live and I'm running the party [02:16] also good public transit from all over the bay [02:17] but mostly that I'm the one hauling everything over to the venue, so I don't want to go across town [02:18] Seems reasonable enough. :) [02:19] No one's volunteered to run a party in SoCal and I'm overbooked, so at the moment there aren't any plans. [02:19] But if somebody *did* want to, they could let me know and I would try to show up with an Ubuntu tablet that does stuff. [02:21] Okay, so that's the end of our agenda. [02:21] #topic Other Business [02:21] Is there anything else anyone wanted to discuss? [02:24] nothing here [02:25] I'm going to start discussions with a local library about giving a couple of talks on Ubuntu and/or my Ubuntu book. [02:25] the new member moratorium? [02:25] great [02:25] So I'll keep everyone informed if that goes off. :) [02:25] kicks off! [02:25] (I almost said "goes well.") [02:25] DonkeyHotei: on launchpad? [02:25] yes [02:25] any updates? [02:25] we don't really use launchpad, so I wouldn't go as far as calling it a "new member moratorium" [02:26] it's just temporarily paused until some of the wiki stuff can be sorted [02:26] (our team is an open team, so spammers were joining to try to get access to the ubuntu wiki) [02:26] I will note that this seems to have stopped as far as the joining bit goes. [02:26] to be clear, people don't need to be part of the launchpad team, or need to know what launchpad is, to consider themselves a member of this team :) === ianorlin is now known as lynorian [02:27] Yes, anyone in California who wants to promote Ubuntu is welcome. :) [02:28] pleia2: if you wanted to set the team back to open, I think it's probably safe to do so now. [02:29] nhaines: I'd rather not, it only stopped because we locked down the wiki even further, as soon as that lets up we'll have to re-mod and I don't have the time to hover over it right now [02:29] pleia2: I'm okay with this, too. [02:30] thirded [02:30] uh I hate the wiki spammers and can tell from pleia2 reaction at scale was harder [02:30] I'll make sure it's on my list when a long-term wiki solution presents itself [02:30] pleia2, yeah [02:31] We should also maybe discuss changing how Launchpad fits into LoCo membership. [02:31] A little later down the road, anyway. [02:31] * pleia2 nods [02:31] do we need launchpad for say election of new leaders ? [02:31] lynorian: good point [02:32] and for the flyers and cd sleeves, which allows members direct committing to the repository rather than doing a merge request [02:32] can't we manual add people still? [02:32] yep [02:32] We do *not*, but we use it for such now. [02:32] we could just as easily use the mailing list roster for civs mails for elections [02:33] yeah, we could [02:34] We'll have to consider that carefully before making any policy changes. [02:36] Well, we'll have to see how the wiki drama pans out, too. [02:36] * pleia2 nods [02:36] Any other comments before we wrap things up? [02:39] * lynorian does not have anything [02:39] thanks for chairing :) [02:40] You're welcome. :) [02:40] Okay then, that wraps up this week's meeting. We'll see you all on May 29th for our next meeting! [02:40] #endmeeting [02:40] Meeting ended Mon May 16 02:40:16 2016 UTC. [02:40] Minutes: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2016/ubuntu-us-ca.2016-05-16-02.00.moin.txt [02:40] memorial day weekend? [02:40] Maybe! === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-ca to: Welcome to the Ubuntu California Local Community (LoCo) Team! | Website: http://ubuntu-california.org (has links to mailing list, forum, and more!) | Next Meeting: Sunday, May 29th, at 7:00pm PDT (UTC -7:00) This channel is logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic [02:48] Post-meeting checklist finished! [02:49] pleia2: I'm out of town the weekend of June 12th, so I won't be able to chair. And I'll probably still be driving during the meeting, at that. [02:50] nhaines: ok, I should be around [02:51] pleia2: thanks! [02:54] Note I emailed to get 16.04 DVD's and was told that they will be usb drives but no ETA on shipping at this time [02:54] toddc: ah, who did you email? [02:55] 1 sec looking email adress [02:57] stefanie.danevoy@canonical.com office manager [02:57] That's the person in charge of such requests. :) [02:58] Maybe I should send another email out from the LoCo Council and ask for an update. [02:58] we tried to order for azloco [04:28] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/mark-shuttle-worth-talks-ubuntu-phone-snappy ctrl-F TV [04:28] Title: [Mark Shuttleworth Talks Ubuntu Watches, Unity 8 and The Future of Free Software - OMG! Ubuntu!] [04:28] I guess the narrative changed from "we're focusing on phones first" ;) [09:15] dax: nah, moving the phones to snappy makes phones better--but makes all Ubuntu better, too. [09:29] The sooner everything is exactly one code base, the sooner everything benefits from every development again.
