| nhaines | Welcome to the Ubuntu California meeting for January 14th, 2018. Happy new year, everyone! :D | 03:01 |
| nhaines | Today's agenda can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18January14 | 03:01 |
| darthrobot | Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18January14 - Ubuntu Wiki] | 03:01 |
| nhaines | #topic Upcoming events | 03:02 |
| nhaines | Within the next day, the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will begin! | 03:02 |
| nhaines | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase | 03:03 |
| darthrobot | Title: [UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase - Ubuntu Wiki] | 03:03 |
| nhaines | This contest is where we'll get submissions for alternate wallpapers and example music and video files for the next Ubuntu release. | 03:03 |
| nhaines | We include new wallpapers every cycle, but because it's an LTS release, it's time to refresh the example video and music file as well! | 03:04 |
| nhaines | Photos will go on Flickr and we'll use the Ubuntu Community Hub for music and video this time around. | 03:04 |
| nhaines | More details will be available at the wiki page and at https://community.ubuntu.com/c/desktop later, plus an email and blog post will go out. You'll see it come across the Ubuntu California mailing list. | 03:05 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Desktop - Ubuntu Community Hub] | 03:05 |
| nhaines | The contest will last until March 15th, so that's plenty of time for artistry. :D | 03:05 |
| nhaines | In other news, SCALE 16x is fast approaching, and will take place from March 8th through 11th. We're hosting UbuCon at SCALE as well as an Ubuntu booth. The call for volunteers will start very soon (also watch the mailing list) but it's time to start thinking about your schedules! | 03:07 |
| nhaines | SCALE is a great way to get experience running a booth, even if you haven't done so before. This is Ubuntu and Ubuntu California's 11th year at SCALE, so we'll teach you everything you need to know. | 03:07 |
| nhaines | And if you have an Ubuntu-related talk for UbuCon, we might still have a slot or two open for our Thursday and Friday schedule. | 03:08 |
| nhaines | #topic Announcements | 03:08 |
| nhaines | The first security updates for the Spectre and Meltdown CPU vulnerabilities landed last week, and more will land Tuesday. This is a serious vulnerability affecting all Intel processors from the past 15 years, several AMD processors, and some graphics cards. | 03:09 |
| nhaines | So it's very important to install any available security updates from the Ubuntu repositories and reboot the system. | 03:09 |
| nhaines | More information is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown | 03:10 |
| darthrobot | Title: [SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown - Ubuntu Wiki] | 03:10 |
| nhaines | Now's the time to keep an eye on security updates, because the vulnerabilities are extremely complex, so updates are being handled bit by bit. | 03:10 |
| nhaines | #topic Agenda | 03:10 |
| nhaines | Every two years, Local Community teams go through a re-verification process to make sure they're still active and healthy. Due to the change in leadership timeframes last year, we're overdue, and the time is now. | 03:11 |
| Geom | Sorry I was a little late. | 03:11 |
| nhaines | Geom: glad you could make it. :) | 03:11 |
| nhaines | Reverification is pretty simple, and pleia2 and I will be working on it over the next couple of weeks. | 03:12 |
| nhaines | The process is documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines | 03:12 |
| darthrobot | Title: [LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines - Ubuntu Wiki] | 03:12 |
| nhaines | That's pretty much everything going on for the next couple of months so far. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS should be a very nice polish of Ubuntu 17.10, so there should be a lot of excitement at our booth during SCALE. | 03:13 |
| nhaines | #topic Other business | 03:13 |
| pleia2 | oh, hello! yes I'll start working on that soon | 03:13 |
| nhaines | pleia2: yay! \o/ | 03:13 |
| nhaines | Is there any other business before we wrap the meeting up? | 03:14 |
| Geom | Can you get me updated on SCaLE? I guess I missed it already :-( | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | ah yes, that was right before you joined | 03:15 |
| nhaines | Geom: I'll go over it after the meeting and there'll be logs. :) | 03:15 |
| Geom | OK | 03:15 |
| nhaines | Alrighty, I think that just about wraps it up. | 03:16 |
| nhaines | We have a couple busy months ahead, and I hope that we can keep some of that momentum going throughout the year. :) | 03:16 |
| pleia2 | thanks nhaines | 03:16 |
| nhaines | I'll see everyone here again in two weeks; our next meeting is January 28th! | 03:17 |

| nhaines | Geom: relevant SCALE information from the meeting: ^^ | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: I'll get you the abstract and start work on reverification wiki tomorrow, this weekend is going by much too quickly ;) | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | "3 day weekend, I have PLENTY of time! er..." | 03:18 |
| === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-ca to: https://ubuntu-california.org (has links to mailing list, forum, and more!) | Next Meeting: Sunday, January 28th, at 7:00pm PST (UTC -8:00) This channel is logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com | We have an unlogged channel at #ubuntu-us-ca-offtopic | ||
| nhaines | pleia2: are you me? :) | 03:19 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:19 |
| pleia2 | in my defense, I just bought a house and am flying to Sydney for linux.conf.au on Wednesday, so I've got a lot on my plate ;) | 03:20 |
| DonkeyHotei | you bought a house in australia? | 03:22 |
| Geom | Thank you for that, brief. | 03:22 |
| Geom | Any schedule yet? | 03:23 |
| nhaines | Same schedule as always, 2pm to 6pm Friday, 10 to 6 Saturday, 10 to 2 Sunday. | 03:24 |
| pleia2 | DonkeyHotei: hah, no :) | 03:24 |
| pleia2 | in Castro Valley, right near the BART station | 03:24 |
| nhaines | The big question mark is whether or not I'll be around on Friday or not. But we won't know that until a couple weeks away, so there will be contingency plans. :) | 03:24 |
| nhaines | pleia2: does it have a Bat-pole down to the terminal in the basement? | 03:25 |
| Geom | OK, but what about who is doing what, etc. Tables, chairs, banners, ...... | 03:26 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: basement? it's california ;) | 03:26 |
| nhaines | pleia2: yeah, but the basement can be the BART station. ;) | 03:26 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:26 |
| pleia2 | nah, but it is just a couple blocks away | 03:27 |
| Geom | The new house has a basement? | 03:27 |
| nhaines | Geom: That'll go up this week. | 03:27 |
| Geom | nhaines: Ok | 03:27 |
| pleia2 | Geom: no, but it is a very unusual house, it used to be one story, the previous owner wanted more space, so he jacked it up and added a first floor | 03:27 |
| Geom | pleia2: Wow, I saw the facebook about the new house, but that is unusual to jack the house UP to add a floor below! | 03:28 |
| pleia2 | indeed! | 03:28 |
| Geom | pleia2: why? | 03:29 |
| Geom | reason? | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | the first floor couldn't handle one on top, so it was full demo or raise it up | 03:29 |
| Geom | pleia2: Wow, I am trying to get my head around how that would be done... | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | I would love to stumble upon photos of it being done, but so far all I have is the paperwork (which is extensive) | 03:30 |
| nhaines | They completely rebuilt the basement and foundation at the Griffith Observatory a couple years ago. | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: and there ARE pictuers of tha! | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | t | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | videos too, time lapse :) | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | Geom: so it made the whole place a little weird, since the second floor pretty much kept the original layout and it's a full house itself, just added a 3.5 car garage, huge living room, den and full bath downstairs | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | 2900 sq feet, the place is huge | 03:32 |
| Geom | pleia2: Wow, what are you going to do with it? | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | Geom: the plan is to create more humans to fill it up ;) | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | but in the meantime, I'll finally have an enclosed office where I can put all my books and toys (oh, and work) | 03:33 |
| Geom | pleia2: I see. Well I will pray for the two of you then. | 03:34 |
| pleia2 | thanks, we'll need it ;) | 03:34 |
| Geom | pleia2: I was sorry I never got to talk to him at the last SCaLE. | 03:35 |
| pleia2 | I don't think he's coming down this year :\ | 03:35 |
| Geom | pleia2: I am sure he is busy. | 03:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 03:36 |
| Geom | nhaines: Changing subject... I thought Griffith was plagued by light pollution, especially for the milkey way galex. | 03:37 |
| nhaines | Hmm, technically, anything nearby is in the Milky Way. :) So I guess the brighter stuff is still okay. | 03:38 |
| nhaines | But yeah, it's bad now. But when it was built, it wasn't. | 03:39 |
| nhaines | I don't know what they observe there now, but it's a fantastic planetarium. | 03:39 |
| Geom | Yes, I know. We used to go out to the desert to see the stars. | 03:39 |
| Geom | Yes, it is a fantastic planetarium | 03:40 |
| nhaines | I forget now if it was there or Palomar that they discovered that other galaxies were actually galaxies and not just nebulae. | 03:40 |
| nhaines | I went out to Afton Canyon Campground, about 30 miles past Barstow on the 15. Halfway between here and Vegas, just enough to have the least amount of light pollution around. | 03:41 |
| nhaines | When I got up after the moon at set, I walked around and got to see my shadow on the ground that was cast by the Milky Way. | 03:41 |
| Geom | That is good. | 03:41 |
| Geom | nhaines: Haven't talked to you in awhile. Could I get a call? | 03:43 |
| Geom | Or call you? | 03:43 |
| nhaines | Geom: absolutely! I've been thinking about you lately. :) | 03:43 |
| nhaines | You can call me any time. | 03:43 |
| Geom | nhaines: same here. | 03:43 |
| Geom | I'll call in a couple minutes. | 03:44 |
| Geom | pleia2: Hope to catch up with you. Love your posts on facebook. | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | o/ | 03:45 |
| Geom | pleia2: At least I know what to pray for both of you. Still grateful for you hosting be at that security conference. What a blessing that was. | 03:47 |
| Geom | pleia2: chat again soon. | 03:49 |
| Geom | nhaines: calling.... | 03:49 |
| nhaines | Geom: operators are standing by... | 03:50 |
