nhainesCarl Richell from System 76 will be giving the keynote, and they will be making product announcements!!03:04
pleia2exciting :)03:05
nhainesYes!  And they won't tell me what they are ahead of time, haha.03:05
pleia2hehe03:06
nhainesAnd of course, SCALE is from March 2nd through March 5th.  It's looking really great!03:06
nhaineshttp://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x03:06
darthrobotTitle: [SCALE 15x | 15x]03:06
lynorianyeah it seems to get closer and closer every year03:06
nhainesThe price goes up to $90 on Wednesday, so don't wait to register!  The coupon code UBNTU will get you 50% off, so feel free to share that with everyone.03:07
pleia2\o/03:07
nhainesBut that's not all!  If you volunteer at the booth for at least one shift, I will pay for your full expo pass.  By which I mean SCALE will pay!03:07
lynorianok were do I sign up03:09
nhainesWe do need some more volunteers, so please email me if you can spend time at the booth.  We promise to let you escape to eat lunch and wander the expo floor or see any talks you're dying to see.03:09
nhainesSign up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale15x03:09
darthrobotTitle: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale15x - Ubuntu Wiki]03:09
nhainesOr email me at nhaines@ubuntu.com if you can't edit the page, and give me the information in the volunteers table.03:09
nhainesJust like last year, Canonical's booth is next to ours and their plan is to just combine the booth spaces and let us run it.  So gigantic thanks to Canonical again!03:10
nhainesThey're also sponsoring UbuCon Summit and the coffee and muffin service.03:11
pleia2great03:11
pleia2mm coffee and muffin03:11
pleia2except I'll be down the hallway all day (except for my talk!) the first day running the open source infra event03:11
nhainesWe're still rounding up devices for the booth, but we'll have computers and phones running Ubuntu and I think we're going to get a Nextcloud Box that runs Ubuntu Core.  :)03:12
pleia2I'll work on social media-ing all this stuff to drum up more interest03:12
pleia2do you need scale ticket for ubucon?03:12
nhainespleia2: you can still have coffee and a muffin!  Also one of the "complimentary speaker water" bottles that I have a bill for.03:12
pleia2hehe03:12
nhainesYou do not need a SCALE ticket for UbuCon, but it would be frankly silly not to have one.  :)03:13
pleia2agreed, just wanted to make sure I was giving out the right information03:13
nhainesAnyone registering for SCALE should choose the UbuCon SCALE passes, which are the same price.03:13
nhainesUnderstood!03:13
nhainesThe "UbuCon pay-what-you-want" donation during SCALE registration will help defray the cost of incidental supplies for UbuCon and the booth.03:13
pleia2cool03:14
nhainesI think that's everything there.03:14
nhainesOh, pleia2, thanks for running the Open Source infrastructure event!  That's awesome.  :)03:15
pleia2I'm excited :)03:16
nhainesAny other upcoming events before we move on?03:17
nhainesHehe, I think SCALE and UbuCon are the biggest things too!03:19
nhaines#topic Announcements03:19
nhainesI worked on the Leadership documents and published a draft copy.03:19
nhainesNo 's' in "document"!03:19
pleia2unfortunately I haven't been able to make time to look through it yet03:19
nhainesThat's okay, it's why I didn't put it on the agenda proper, just under announcements. :)03:20
nhainesThe current document is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership03:20
darthrobotTitle: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership - Ubuntu Wiki]03:20
nhainesThe ammended document is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines/CaliforniaLeadershipDocument03:20
darthrobotTitle: [NathanHaines/CaliforniaLeadershipDocument - Ubuntu Wiki]03:20
nhainesBasically it removes the "leadership council" mentions to "leadership role".03:21
nhainesI suspect the position should be styled "Team Lead" but I don't think I committed to that in the document.03:21
nhainesSo if that's something the LoCo wants, then we can vote on the amendment, and once accepted, we can hold new elections.03:22
nhainesBut the actual day-to-day running of the LoCo and meetings shouldn't materially change.03:22
nhainesAny other announcements today?03:23
* lynorian has none03:24
pleia2nothing from me03:24
nhaines#topic Agenda03:24
nhainesThere are no items on the agenda for this meeting.03:25
nhaines#topic Other Business03:25
nhainesAny other business today?03:25
lynorianto be clear no meeting the sunday when everyone is returning from scale03:26
pleia2good point03:26
nhainesYes, correct.03:26
nhainesI would also like to take a second to highlight our own Elizabeth Joseph, who aside from being an amazing member of this LoCo is an accomplished technologist and ardent supporter of girls and women in technology and Free and Open Source software, which is such an important topic03:28
nhainesDiversity and representation are important across everything in society, and we definitely are stronger when everyone is happy and confident in persuing their interests and skills to the best of their ability, without discouragement.03:29
pleia2thanks nhaines :)03:29
nhainespleia2: I know we all try to do our little parts, but you do a gigantic part, and it's an inspiration to me and doubtless countless others.  Thanks so much for being such a good influence in the world.  :)03:30
pleia2you're welcome03:31
nhainesAlrighty, I think that's it for this meeting!03:31
nhainesIn two weeks we have UbuCon Summit and SCALE, and no meeting!  Be at SCALE and have fun there instead!03:31
pleia2thanks for chairing03:32
nhainesIn one month, we have our next meeting.  March 19th, in fact!03:32
nhainespleia2: you're welcome.  :)03:32
nhainesEveryone have fun, sign up to volunteer for SCALE and get a free pass and t-shirt for the booth, and I'll see everyone back here in a month!03:32
