| nhaines | Hmm, I feel surprisingly well for having had 6 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours. Power of naps, I guess. | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | o/ | 02:00 |
| nhaines | Okay, meeting time! | 02:00 |
| nhaines | pleia2: glad you made it. :) I'm glad *I* made it. | 02:00 |

| nhaines | Good evening everyone! It's time for our biweekly LoCo meeting! | 02:01 |
| nhaines | Tonight's agenda can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16July24 | 02:02 |
| darthrobot | Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16July24 - Ubuntu Wiki] | 02:02 |
| nhaines | #topic Upcoming events | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | so, we have our release party in SF coming up :) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2016-June/002735.html | 02:03 |
| darthrobot | Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] San Francisco Ubuntu 16.04 Release Party] | 02:03 |
| nhaines | Thursday is the 16.04 Release Party in San Francisco! \o/ | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | tell your friends, neighbors, cats | 02:03 |
| nhaines | But not too many cats, because they steal pizza! | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | it's true | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | everything is all set, looking forward to it | 02:03 |
| nhaines | Party details are here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2016-June/002735.html and you should definitely RSVP if you are planning to attend. | 02:03 |
| darthrobot | Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] San Francisco Ubuntu 16.04 Release Party] | 02:03 |
| nhaines | pleia2: is it true that everyone who attends should bring Arch discs for installation? | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | I don't think any of my laptops take discs... | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | but I will have some Ubuntu USB sticks :) | 02:05 |
| nhaines | Yay! Are they giveaways? | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | indeed, got a conference pack with some hats, a tshirt, pins | 02:06 |

| darthrobot | Title: [Giveaways for the @ubuntu_us_ca release party in SF next w… | Flickr] | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | stickers too | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | and I should have a copy or two of the 9th edition of the official ubuntu book | 02:07 |
| nhaines | That is the most official Ubuntu book! | 02:07 |
| nhaines | It all sounds great. I wish I could be there. :) | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | same! | 02:08 |
| nhaines | Well, I look forward to hearing how it all went. | 02:09 |
| nhaines | #topic Announcements | 02:09 |
| nhaines | Does anybody have any topical announcements to make? | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | The reports of the meetup.com group death have been greatly exaggerated. | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | all 300+ members of the team were emailed this morning about it shutting down in 14 days, sorry about that, I've been trying to get the team at Canonical to renew it | 02:10 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I'll have to check with the Community Team to find the status of that. They were trying to find the right person to set things up. | 02:10 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:10 | |
| pleia2 | other teams got similar notices today, so it is on their radar | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | including Florida, where one of them lives, so hoping that helps | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | no other announcements from me, just wanted to clear the air there | 02:12 |
| nhaines | I'm thinking a brief mass email to the meetup can clear things up. Just a note that the pilot was a success and it's a just hiccup as we transition to committing to use the service. | 02:12 |
| nhaines | Something along those lines. | 02:12 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: from us, or the broader Ubuntu group running it? | 02:13 |
| nhaines | Probably from us, unless the bigger group can still do that. I might have to see if I have those credentials. | 02:13 |
| nhaines | If not, we can share the email with the other teams using Meetup so they can adapt and resend it. :) | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | ok, can you take care of that then? | 02:15 |
| nhaines | Yup. I'll look at it Monday or Tuesday and get the message out. | 02:15 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 02:16 |
| nhaines | You're welcome. :) | 02:16 |
| nhaines | #topic Canonical no longer provides Ubuntu DVDs; LoCos now receive 25 USB sticks per event instead of 150 DVDs. | 02:17 |
| nhaines | #subtopic wat do? | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | right, so I'm preparing for this release party | 02:17 |
| nhaines | As is tradition. | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | not sure how many I should give away there, and I haven't gotten much word at all about whether teams can request more packs of USB sticks or anything | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | in fact, availability was never formally announced at all, I just kept nagging on the mailing list ;) | 02:18 |
| nhaines | Soon! | 02:18 |
| nhaines | Actually, I'm waiting for the person in charge of handing requests to come back from leave before announcing it. ;) | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | ok | 02:19 |
| nhaines | That way she's not completely swamped. Should be a week or so. | 02:19 |
| nhaines | Leave sounds weird. I understand it's just a vacation. | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | europeans, always taking weeks off | 02:20 |
| nhaines | It's nice work if you can get it! | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | indeed :) | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | anyway, I'm not sure where that leaves us | 02:20 |
| nhaines | So I think we can just order more when we do a major event. | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | ok | 02:21 |
| nhaines | The LoCo Council had a meeting with the the Community Team last week and I definitely brought this up. | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | these are what they are, fwiw: https://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=1206 | 02:21 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Canonical Store] | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | which means they go for about $8 each, and they're really nice looking, useful | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | with DVDs we just told people to email me and I'd drop them in the mail, but this is a bit trickier | 02:22 |
| nhaines | Oh, here's a question only you can answer! :) How big are they? | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | 8G | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | or dimensions? | 02:22 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 02:22 |
| nhaines | Nope, capacity. Dimensions-wise they're smaller than a breadbox. | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | they are quite small | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | dimension-wise ;) | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | 8G is nice | 02:23 |
| nhaines | Big enough to throw a couple ISOs on there or something. | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 02:24 |
| nhaines | I think there's a sort of idea that if LoCos want or need DVDs, they can have them locally produced and send a community reimbursement request. | 02:24 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:24 | |
| nhaines | The Community Team is going to make sure the artwork (which we all think exists) is up on the wiki. | 02:25 |
| pleia2 | I did have someone come to the BALUG meeting who expected me to have some DVDs to give away, but I didn't | 02:25 |
| pleia2 | didn't have the USB sticks yet either | 02:25 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I mentioned that for SCALE, for instances, 25 sticks is nuts. | 02:26 |
| pleia2 | heh, yeah | 02:26 |
| nhaines | I think you should probably keep 1 or 2 for use during Ubuntu Hour or LUG events, and give the rest away. | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | at local northern california events, or open it up to everyone? | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | not sure I *can* open it up to everyone, we only have 25 of them :) | 02:28 |
| nhaines | Local events. If we do some SoCal stuff, I'll request a conference pack. | 02:28 |
| pleia2 | ok, sounds good | 02:28 |
| nhaines | I might see if I can just get USB sticks. I still have a bunch of leftover stuffs from SCALE, not counting 14.04 DVDs. :) | 02:29 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:29 | |
| nhaines | But yeah, do what you can with the ones you have. No sense in hoarding them. | 02:29 |
| pleia2 | no, definitely not, just wanted to make sure we had a fair plan | 02:29 |
| nhaines | Have an Ubuntu Hour and make people reflash them with 16.04.1. ;) | 02:29 |
| pleia2 | haha, right | 02:29 |
| pleia2 | alright, that's all I have | 02:30 |
| nhaines | I sort of suspect if 25 USB sticks turns out to be woefully inadequate, they'll revisit that. But for now I think we're fine. | 02:30 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:31 | |
| nhaines | Unfortunately, I think that's because if pleia2 or I ask for more, they'll trust that we'll put them to good use. | 02:31 |
| nhaines | But we'll start with that. Making them special giveaways at events isn't the end of the world, either. | 02:32 |
| nhaines | We'll just see what happens at SCALE! | 02:32 |
| pleia2 | yeah :) | 02:32 |
| nhaines | Okay, that's all from me there. | 02:32 |
| nhaines | #topic Other business. | 02:33 |
| nhaines | Anything else before we wrap up? | 02:33 |
| pleia2 | that's it from me | 02:34 |
| nhaines | Okay, that'll do it for tonight, then. | 02:34 |
| nhaines | pleia2: thanks for making it. :) | 02:34 |

| nhaines | Next meeting August 7th. | 02:35 |
| pleia2 | thanks nhaines | 02:35 |
| pleia2 | I'll be out of the country during next meeting | 02:35 |
| * pleia2 looks at timezones | 02:36 | |
| nhaines | Double-checking my calendar, I should be around. | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | I think I'll be on a plane to London during the meeting | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | on my way home | 02:36 |
| nhaines | But I am not feeling like doing the post-meeting checklist stuff on my laptop keyboard with no mouse, so I will probably do that tomorrow. | 02:37 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:37 | |

| nhaines | Thanks. | 02:38 |
| nhaines | pleia2: if you like kids and the 80s and creepy things and Netflix, you definitely should watch Stranger Things. | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: I actually just added it to my queue yesterday after someone else recommended it :D | 20:55 |
