[00:04] <valorie> yofel: happy new year!
[00:04]  * valorie is now back from the cabin
[04:07] <tsimonq2> valorie: Random thought that came to me while studying: I think it would be a good idea to have an Ubuntu BoF session at LFNW talking about 18.10 plans with people like Dustin from Budgie etc. You in on the idea? :)
[04:18] <valorie> how many other people are gonna be there?
[04:18] <valorie> sure, as long as we have someone to watch the table
[04:19] <valorie> a bit late for some of the planning
[04:19] <valorie> oh
[04:19] <tsimonq2> Right, if I put it on the schedule and we promote the heck out of it, we'll get people...
[04:19] <tsimonq2> hm?
[04:19] <valorie> 18.10
[04:19] <valorie> right
[04:19] <tsimonq2> yeaaaah
[04:19] <tsimonq2> :)
[04:19] <tsimonq2> It's like two weeks after 18.10
[04:19] <tsimonq2> There's going to be a huge surge of development after the LTS polish
[04:20] <tsimonq2> grr, 18.04 ;)
[04:20] <tsimonq2> But yeah, I wanna take advantage of it
[04:20] <tsimonq2> Maybe get some Pop folks around too; anyone that's interested in Ubuntu, really!
[04:20] <valorie> I'm not the most technically equipped to help, but sure
[04:20] <valorie> I can at least keep the meeting moving ahead
[04:20] <tsimonq2> We still need community people around too ;)
[04:21] <tsimonq2> You're also still a release manager, so there's that too :P
[04:21] <valorie> sure
[04:28] <tsimonq2> valorie: Here's what I have as the abstract:
[04:28] <tsimonq2> LinuxFest NorthWest comes two weeks after the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, so let's do some Ubuntu 18.10+ planning! Anybody interested in the future of Ubuntu and flavors or derivatives is welcome to join!
[04:28] <tsimonq2> Topics may include getting Ubuntu and flavors on new devices, coordination of cross-flavor development or social projects, and anything else that fits within the scope of "pulse of the Ubuntu community". Bring your projects and ideas to help make Ubuntu better!
[04:28] <tsimonq2> Never done conference proposal abstracts before :)
[04:29] <valorie> maybe look at other BoF descriptions?
[04:29] <valorie> sounds good to me, tsimonq2
[04:29] <tsimonq2> Hm valorie, where could I find those?
[04:31] <tsimonq2> Either way, submitting :)
[04:34] <valorie> I dunno - google?
[04:34] <tsimonq2> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[04:34] <tsimonq2> I got the idea from Debian
[04:34] <tsimonq2> They do these things all the time
[04:34] <valorie> seems like this year's website is wiped of previous year's info
[04:35] <valorie> which sucks
[04:35] <tsimonq2> valorie: Can I add you as one of the "speakers"? :)
[04:36] <valorie> if it has to be a panel, sure
[04:36] <tsimonq2> There's no requirementsw
[04:37] <tsimonq2> That's the thing, it's a freeflow, informal discussion
[04:37] <valorie> right
[04:37] <valorie> I've been in many BoFs
[04:37] <tsimonq2> I haven't :D
[04:37] <valorie> and held a few myself
[04:39] <tsimonq2> Oh ok
[04:39] <tsimonq2> So am I getting it right valorie?
[04:40] <valorie> yes, I think it's a great idea
[04:41] <valorie> I've not been thinking ahead, and now I am
[04:41] <valorie> so thank you for that
[04:41] <tsimonq2> yw :D
[04:41] <tsimonq2> oooooh I think I need to retitle my talk to "Ubuntu: Beyond the Beaver" :D :D :D
[04:41] <tsimonq2> s/talk/BoF/
[04:42] <valorie> oh dear god
[04:42] <tsimonq2> They make that terminology confusing :P
[04:42] <tsimonq2> YES
[04:42] <tsimonq2> XD
[04:42] <valorie> NO
[04:42] <valorie> please
[04:42] <tsimonq2> Awww :P
[04:42] <tsimonq2> Fine
[04:42] <valorie> it's awful
[04:42] <tsimonq2> hahahahahahahaa
[04:43] <valorie> and I like beavers
[04:43] <tsimonq2> Fiiiiiiiiiiiine I'll keep with the boring old talk name "Ubuntu 18.10+ Planning"
[04:44] <tsimonq2> URGH I KEEP SAYING TALK BECAUSE STUPID WEBSITE
[04:44] <tsimonq2> >_<
[04:44] <valorie> you can use the beyond the beaver as you talk to people about it
[04:44] <tsimonq2> Like, I love you site, but like...
[04:44] <tsimonq2> Sure
[04:44] <tsimonq2> Ok
[04:44] <valorie> no, the website sorta sucks
[04:44] <valorie> always have, still does
[04:46] <tsimonq2> heh
[04:46] <tsimonq2> right
[04:47] <valorie> is there official artwork for 18.04 already?
[04:47] <tsimonq2> mmm
[04:47] <tsimonq2> Don't think so...
[04:47] <valorie> since it is already alpha time, you would think so.....
[04:51] <tsimonq2> nah
[04:52] <tsimonq2> They usually wait a bi
[04:52] <tsimonq2> *bit
[05:09] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> oh yay, Linode's down
[05:53] <valorie> tsimonq2: when I was first involved, and there was UDS, the tshirts were out by UDS (which was about a month before release
[05:53] <tsimonq2> ohh hmm
[05:54] <tsimonq2> UDS <3
[05:54] <tsimonq2> I wish we could still have those...
[05:54] <valorie> uds was all about planning far ahead
[05:54] <valorie> yeah, that was what grew the community
[09:46] <yofel> valorie, acheronuk: happy new year :)
[19:16] <acheronuk> who owns the G+ Kubuntu community?
[22:12] <valorie> if you find out, put it on https://phabricator.kde.org/w/kubuntu/social-media/
[22:12] <valorie> looks like you Marco and Aaron have accounts, but one should be bolded or starred or something
[22:40] <acheronuk> valorie: I can now post as Kubuntu with the brand account, but even that seems not to own it. maybe Rick does?
[22:41] <valorie> ah, could be
[22:41] <valorie> I've not been a fan or much of a G+ user for a few years
[22:41] <valorie> started off good! and with every change, it got worse IMO
[22:43] <acheronuk> it's main selling point is that it's NOT FACEBOOK for me.
[22:43] <acheronuk> but not my favourite
[22:44] <valorie> true that
[22:44] <valorie> but the stuff I liked about it is gone
[22:48] <valorie> irc is still the best social network!
[22:48] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shoTTC3PeKg
[22:48]  * valorie <3s everyone here
[22:48] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> oh wrong channel
