[01:40] <nhaines> pleia2: I do need to get in touch with you about doing the mailing list.  I already do it for the LCC, so I may as well just add one more.  :)
[01:55] <nhaines> Meeting coming up in 5!
[01:58] <pleia2> o/
[01:58] <nhaines> Yay  :)
[01:59] <nhaines> I'm hoping this goes smoothly because SpaceX.  :)
[01:59] <pleia2> :)
[01:59] <pleia2> can you see it from there?
[02:00] <nhaines> Unless the clouds conspire against me again!  Little too late for the gorgeous exhaust plume illumination we got the first two times, though.
[02:01] <pleia2> fingers crossed
[02:01] <nhaines> It's not the view from Long Beach (or Vandenburg, of course!) but it's good enough to take a photo of and annoy friends with my pictures of a bright oval.
[02:01] <nhaines> Meeting time!
[02:01] <nhaines> #startmeeting
[02:01] <nhaines> Welcome to the Ubuntu California meeting for October 7th, 2018.
[02:02] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18October07
[02:02] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[02:02] <pleia2> on Wednesday we have an Ubuntu Hour in SF http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3804-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/
[02:02] <nhaines> \o/
[02:03] <nhaines> That'll be fun.  How's the attendence?
[02:03] <pleia2> I'm not sure I'll be able to make it (travel early the next morning) but some folks will be there :) and right after there's a Bay Area Debian Dinner http://bad.debian.net/pipermail/bad/2018-October/003820.html
[02:03] <pleia2> we haven't had one in some time
[02:04] <nhaines> Well I hope it inspires more participation.  Ubuntu Hours are fun and easy to host.  :)
[02:04] <pleia2> I think we had 5-6 last time though, they're pretty chill
[02:04] <nhaines> According to my blog, Ubuntu 18.10 will be released on October 18th, which is pretty cool!
[02:05] <nhaines> I think we'll get the new community theme by default!  Sadly I can't use it because I run Unity.
[02:06] <pleia2> hah :)
[02:06] <nhaines> The community-contributed wallpapers were announced, and they are pretty awesome: https://www.nhaines.com/blog/2018/09/28/announcing-ubuntu-18.10-free-culture-showcase-winners/
[02:07] <nhaines> I'm going to try and work with Canonical about doing something more with the Free Culture Showcase this next cycle so we can be more lively when the LTS comes up.  Maybe prizes and things!  So that should be pretty fun.
[02:08]  * pleia2 nods
[02:08] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[02:09] <nhaines> Any big announcements?  I guess technically the FCS stuff goes here.  :)
[02:09] <pleia2> nothing from here, would you like me to follow up on list about UbuCon?
[02:10] <nhaines> Ooh, yes please!  I need to update the website.  (I needed to last week.)
[02:10] <pleia2> will do
[02:10]  * nhaines scribbles that down.
[02:10] <nhaines> Thank you.  :)
[02:10] <nhaines> #topic Agenda
[02:10] <nhaines> There is no agenda for this meeting.
[02:10] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[02:11] <nhaines> Well, there's been a lot of chatter on the ML about meeting frequencies and social media accounts, sort of cross-topic though.  :)
[02:12] <nhaines> I set up Mastodon in an lxc container, and I was angry the whole time and it doesn't start.  So I'll have to do the VM thing later.  :)
[02:12] <pleia2> lol
[02:13] <nhaines> The lack of traction with identi.ca/status.net made me not want to invest in other similar efforts until they pick up steam, so I'll be looking into that.  But there's no reason we shouldn't have a mastodon presence, if only to mirror our Twitter feed.
[02:13] <pleia2> we don't want to get into the business of running our own, resources aside, moderation is a nightmare
[02:13] <nhaines> That's good to know.  It's heavier than I hoped, and I thought a closed (registration) server might be interesting.  Or something to pitch to Canonical if Mastodon supports OpenID.  But yeah, I have no time for moderation.
[02:14] <nhaines> So I've been sort of thinking about the feedback received and I'll chime in in more detail soon.
[02:14] <pleia2> I do hope we can at least find content for the existing resources
[02:15] <nhaines> I think with a dedicated, fresher volunteer (or two) we should be able to make the feeds useful, if not quite lively
[02:16] <nhaines> But I guess we'll see.
[02:16] <nhaines> Any other business for tonight?
[02:16] <pleia2> I think I'm set
[02:16] <nhaines> Me to!  Okay, so I'll see everyone again October 21st then.  :)
[02:17] <nhaines> Let the edited logs show that I did not misspell "too" in the message above and certainly did not edit the log before posting to the wiki.
[02:17] <nhaines> Thanks, everyone.  :)
[02:17] <nhaines> #endmeeting
[02:17] <pleia2> thanks nhaines :)
[02:17] <nhaines> Okay, T-4 minutes!  I'll be outside for the next 10.  ;)
[02:18] <pleia2> have fun!
[02:18]  * pleia2 watches live stream ;)
[02:39] <nhaines> Complete mission success!  \o/
[02:39] <nhaines> Of course, the clouds, which were parted at five to 7, offered complete coverage once the launch happened.
[02:40] <pleia2> hooray california
[02:40] <pleia2> even if we could see anything here, it's been a smokey day :(
[02:40]  * pleia2 hides indoors with windows closed
[02:40] <nhaines> And yet, no barbecue roll for the satellite!
[02:47] <pleia2> I guess there was some visibility in parts of the bay no obscured by smoke
[02:47] <pleia2> not
[02:55] <nhaines> Next time!
