[03:01] <nhaines> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu California meeting for February 25th, 2018.
[03:01] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18February25

[03:02] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[03:03] <nhaines> In a week and a half, SCALE begins!  From March 8th through 11th in Pasadena, one of the best Free and Open Source Software conferences in the US is going to be a blast once again!
[03:03] <nhaines> More info about SCALE: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/16x
[03:03] <darthrobot`> Title: [SCALE 16x | 16x]
[03:04] <nhaines> And for the first two days of SCALE, Richard Gaskin and I are hosting UbuCon, which is a two-day conference packed with speakers from all around the Ubuntu community.  System 76 is keynoting this year and talking about how Ubuntu and Pop!_OS are related.
[03:04] <nhaines> More info about UbuCon at SCALE: http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-scale/

[03:05] <nhaines> Are there any other upcoming events on the horizon?
[03:06] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[03:08] <nhaines> We have some great speakers lined up for UbuCon, and I'm really excited to see them!  From Ubuntu California, we have Jono Bacon, Elizabeth Joseph (pleia2) and Nathan Handler (nhandler) as well as myself speaking.
[03:08] <nhaines> Plus Richard Gaskin and I are doing our traditional Ubuntu Q&A on Friday night.
[03:09] <nhaines> On to the agenda...
[03:09] <nhaines> #topic Last-minute SCALE status check-in.
[03:11] <nhaines> UbuCon is nominal.  SCALE stepped up to help us out.  Canonical offered money via the community fund and asked me to submit a request with a specific number, but they have not approved it yet.
[03:12] <nhaines> SCALE has always been an amazing partner and this continues this year more than ever.
[03:13] <nhaines> Canonical sent us a Conference Pack but has yet to approve the donations request.  Combined with that and the lack of volunteers for booth duty, I may not be able to keep the booth open for the entire expo.
[03:13] <nhaines> At the moment, we're looking at only having the booth open on Saturday.  This has a chance of impacting our eligibility for a booth in the future.
[03:14] <nhaines> That said, George Mulak hasvolunteered most of the supplies and to help out when he can.  So a giant thanks to him for stepping up to help.
[03:17] <nhaines> I know that the wiki continues to be a problem.  But we absolutely need volunteers to put on community events like this, so please send an email if you can help.  I'll be emailing the list after the meeting.
[03:18] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[03:18] <nhaines> Is there any other business before we wrap things UP?
[03:18] <nhaines> Hello, surprise CapsLock!  :)
[03:20] <nhaines> All right.  I hope to see some of you at UbuCon which will be amazing, and I also hope to see some of you at the booth as well.  :)
[03:20] <nhaines> No meeting on the 11th in lieu of SCALE, so I'll see everyone back in here for a meeting on March 25th.
[03:20] <nhaines> Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

[03:20] <darthrobot`> Meeting ended Mon Feb 26 03:20:49 2018 UTC.

[04:40] <gmulak> I am late!  I got sidetracked in  a project!
[04:40] <nhaines> It happens.  :)
[04:40] <nhaines> Log here: http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2018/ubuntu-us-ca.2018-02-26-03.01.moin.txt

[04:41] <nhaines> And on the page soon but first I have to decide which tea to make and then I have to write more emails.
[04:42] <gmulak> nhaines: Sorry, phone rang, it was Vicki
[04:42] <gmulak> I will look at the log.
[04:42] <nhaines> Although I think these sample teas are coming close to a decade old, so sealed tightly or not, I'm going to go with this strange "Kurhaus Sinfonie Bad Hamm" tea because it's just black/green/oolong blend with orange blossoms and strawberry pieces and I know it's good but I don't think I can buy more unless I fly to Hamm, Germany.  And it's not quite that good.  ;)
[04:45] <gmulak> Funny, sound gross to me, sorry!
[04:46] <gmulak> nhaines:  Please talk to me about the booth being manned.
[04:46] <nhaines> It's vaguely strawberryish with a sort of earthy, creamy undertone.  Not sure why, though.  I'm putting it down to the "flavoring" ingredent entry.
[04:46] <nhaines> We have no booth schedule because we have no volunteers.
[04:47] <nhaines> I'm speaking at UbuCon on Friday so unless we get volunteers for that afternoon, we'll have to open Saturday.
[04:47] <gmulak> nhaines:  What do you mean?  I am a volunteer?
[04:47] <nhaines> Yes, but I don't know your availability.  :)
[04:48] <gmulak> nhaines:  All you have to do is call me and we will work it out.
[04:49] <gmulak> Please give me the info of people who have volunteered in the past.
[04:49] <gmulak> nahines:  And call me tomorrow afternoon, please.  I watch my grandson in the morning until about 3pm
[04:51] <nhaines> Greatly appreciated, thank you.  :)
[04:51] <DonkeyHotei> [Sun 2018-02-25 08:49:05 PM PST] <gmulak> Please give me the info of people who have volunteered in the past. <---- this would include myself, and i helped you load your car after scale 13x closed
[04:52] <DonkeyHotei> scale 13x proved that my patience for trade shows is a lot thinner than it used to be
[04:53] <gmulak> I appreciate that.  I am so very sorry, I do not remember names very well and I don't remember DonkeyHotei name.  Can you email me your information?  Please
[04:53] <gmulak> gmulak@tierratek.com
[04:53] <DonkeyHotei> i can, but i am NorCal and not SoCal, so it would be of little use for the show
[04:54] <gmulak> Can you come down?
[04:56] <DonkeyHotei> this time is just not in the cards, though i do admit i'm curious about how much may have changed with the move to pasadena
[04:56] <gmulak> Please send me an email.
[04:57] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: it's bigger, for one.  :)
[04:57] <DonkeyHotei> it's the second move for the show, and i miss the tone it had prior to the first move, though in some ways, bigger is better too
[05:00] <nhaines> They've worked hard to try and keep that early community feel.
[05:00] <nhaines> I think they've done better than any other show.
[05:00] <nhaines> (of their size, etc.)
[05:00] <gmulak> More kids, more family.
[05:01] <gmulak> Got to go.  Be back in a couple of hours.....\

[23:20] <chiluk> Hey folks... who would I talk to about Ubucon..
[23:20] <chiluk> basically I see that there are a bunch of 30 minute break slots in the schedule.
[23:21] <chiluk> which kind of looks like we didn't get enough submissions.
[23:21] <chiluk> I could do this talk at UbuCon if you guys would like https://2016.texaslinuxfest.org/node/21
