[03:00] <nhaines> Hi everyone!  It's January 28th and that means it's meeting time.  :)
[03:01] <pleia2> hello!
[03:01] <nhaines> _o/
[03:01] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18January28
[03:01] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18January28 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:01] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[03:01] <nhaines> Anything interesting happening in the next couple of weeks?
[03:02] <pleia2> nothing up here
[03:03] <nhaines> There's some kind of Snapcraft Summit going on in Seattle this next week: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/01/26/a-peek-at-the-snapcraft-summit/
[03:03] <darthrobot> Title: [A peek at the Snapcraft Summit | Ubuntu Insights]
[03:03] <nhaines> Snapcraft is pretty awesome, and the snap and snapcraft devs are very diligent, so I have no doubt that amazing things are going to come out of that meeting.  Also I think I may have been off to the left in that article's photo, at the Ubuntu Rally in New York  :)
[03:04] <nhaines> Anyway, that's good news for Ubuntu and Ubuntu users.
[03:04] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[03:04] <nhaines> Any announcements to be made this week?
[03:05] <nhaines> Okay, we'll move along to the agenda then.  :)
[03:06] <pleia2> I guess since the last time we had a meeting, make sure you patch your systems :)
[03:06] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown
[03:06] <darthrobot> Title: [SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:06] <nhaines> Oh right, that's a good reminder! :)
[03:06] <pleia2> the patches at this point are pretty comprehensive
[03:06] <pleia2> get new kernels, reboot, all safe
[03:06] <nhaines> Meltdown is mostly addressed and Spectre patches had to just sort of filter in.  So if you've already updated, make sure you check again.
[03:07] <nhaines> Your security, if not your backend system performance, will thank you.  ;)
[03:07] <pleia2> yeah, the bottom of that wiki page has the timeline, Jan 22nd saw the latest Spectre updates land
[03:07] <pleia2> come to my Ubuntu security talk at UbuCon!
[03:07] <DonkeyHotei> is there an update addressing variant 1 yet?
[03:08] <nhaines> The disclosures have not been handled to everyone's satisfaction, but the Ubuntu Security Team have done an excellent job of documenting their progress.
[03:08] <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: yes, it's all linked on the wiki page, but here directly https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5753.html
[03:08] <darthrobot> Title: [CVE-2017-5753 in Ubuntu]
[03:09] <nhaines> #topic SCALE 16x and UbuCon at SCALE
[03:09] <nhaines> SCALE is a thing that is happening!  And so is UbuCon!  At the other thing!
[03:09] <pleia2> yay :)
[03:09] <nhaines> UbuCon planning is going pretty well, and Richard Gaskin and I are handling that.  :)
[03:10] <nhaines> Ubuntu will have a booth at SCALE and we need volunteers from the LoCo as always!  The signup sheet is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale16x
[03:10] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale16x - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:11] <nhaines> As always, we need bodies to stand there and talk about Ubuntu with booth visitors.  SCALE is a very friendly, informal expo and so it's a very gentle way to gain a lot of booth experience if you've never done it before.  :)
[03:11] <pleia2> shall I share this call for participants on Twitter?
[03:11] <nhaines> Yes, that'd be great.
[03:11] <pleia2> the wiki has also become very hard to log into and edit, might want to mention that they can contact you if they can't edit?
[03:12] <nhaines> Yup, good idea.  They can email me or the list.
[03:12] <pleia2> (you need to be in a special group in lp to edit it at all, and that's poorly documented)
[03:12] <nhaines> I do forget that.  Mostly the wiki is just annoyingly slow.
[03:12] <pleia2> yeah, I got logged out recently and it was a 15 minute, multi-attempt ordeal to get back in ;)
[03:13] <nhaines> In addition, we still have a speaker slot open for UbuCon, so if you have something cool that you want to talk about and it's Ubuntu related, you should definitely let me know.  :)
[03:13] <nhaines> You can just email me directly at nhaines at ubuntu dot com and I'll forward that on to Richard Gaskin and we'll discuss.
[03:15] <nhaines> pleia2: thanks! https://twitter.com/ubuntu_us_ca/status/957814149743980544
[03:15] <darthrobot> [R: mobile.twitter.com] Title: [Twitter]
[03:16] <pleia2> np, lmk when we have an UbuCon schedule and I'll make sure that gets out as well
[03:16] <nhaines> Great!  We hope to firm that up over this upcoming week.
[03:17] <nhaines> People submitting additional talks will help with this!  ;)
[03:17] <nhaines> But we have some exciting speakers lined up, and we're trying to confirm a couple more.  We'll have a press release out soon.
[03:17] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[03:17] <pleia2> \o/
[03:17] <nhaines> Is there any other business before we wrap things up?
[03:18] <pleia2> oh, real quick
[03:18] <pleia2> I'm still the only active (for certain values of) admin for our social media things, if anyone else wants to help out, I welcome the help :)
[03:19] <pleia2> we do try to keep it very California-related, but I'm sure we could do a better job keeping it updated about team meetings and the regular Ubuntu Hours that happen
[03:19] <pleia2> (as in, I don't want the social media accounts just puppeting all Ubuntu news)
[03:20] <nhaines> I should probably get some of the passwords from you.
[03:20] <pleia2> probably so :)
[03:20] <nhaines> I did remember to re-set my calendar notifications for meetings properly, so that I remember to send out emails the Wednesdays before.  ;)
[03:21] <nhaines> Okay, I will attempt to remember to email you or something later!
[03:22] <nhaines> I am famously bad at social media, though, so anyone else should also volunteer to help out.
[03:22] <nhaines> Okay, any other business before we wrap things up?
[03:23] <pleia2> I'm all set, thanks for chairing
[03:23] <nhaines> You're welcome!
[03:23] <nhaines> Alright, we have just two more meetings before SCALE!  Our next meeting is Feburary 11th, 2018.
