[02:59] <nhaines> Meeting time!
[02:59] <hangar18> hello hello! let's roll!
[03:00] <nhaines> #startmeeting
[03:00] <nhaines> Welcome to the November 4th Ubuntu California meeting!  We have only two more left in the year, I think.  :)
[03:00] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda is availble here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18November04
[03:00] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[03:00] <nhaines> First up, are there any events that are coming up soon?
[03:01] <hangar18> nothing on my end.
[03:02] <nhaines> Nothing I'm aware of. The call for papers of the Southern California Linux Expo has ended, but UbuCon is still accepting papers at the moment.
[03:02] <hangar18> question!
[03:02] <nhaines> Yes!
[03:02] <hangar18> about those papers.
[03:03] <hangar18> are those like essays that you write?
[03:03] <hangar18> that explains the talk that you want to do or something?
[03:03] <nhaines> They are abstracts the propose a presentation
[03:03] <nhaines> Basically the same as the descriptions you see on the conference websites, with a tiny bit more detail.
[03:04] <nhaines> But mostly more metadata, not so much more detailed blurbs.
[03:04] <hangar18> so are they to get permission to do a presentation or details a presentation that'll take place?
[03:05] <nhaines> Yes, you submit them for consideration, and then the expo committee selects the talks they want. For UbuCon, Richard Gaskin and I make the selections.
[03:06] <lynorian> hello
[03:06] <nhaines> Hi, lynorian.
[03:06] <hangar18> oh cool. sounds like fun. If I ever come up with something interesting to discuss, I may do that.
[03:06] <hangar18> Hey, lynorian.
[03:06] <lynorian> oh really I did sumbit my first ubucon submission
[03:07] <hangar18> lynorian: cool! Congratulations!
[03:07] <nhaines> hangar18: SCALE is a great place to give your first talk!  It's a real, giant conference, but it still feels like a user group.  A great way to get experience.  Same for booth volunteering!
[03:07] <nhaines> lynorian: we did receive your submission, thank you.  :)
[03:07] <hangar18> I may get to volunteer this time around.\
[03:08] <hangar18> i asked my wife if she'd be interested in going with me and i think she's going to.
[03:08] <nhaines> That's great!  :)
[03:09] <nhaines> Okay, moving on...
[03:09] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[03:09] <nhaines> Any community announcements this week?
[03:10] <hangar18> none here. still working on interview questions to hand out for future articles for full circle magazine. my free time gets divided up a lot with a lot of things.
[03:10] <hangar18> oh!
[03:11] <hangar18> I may have made a new contact for a future new team member on an app totally unrelated to ubuntu
[03:11] <nhaines> Oh, that's good news!
[03:11] <hangar18> i plugged away for our team and i think this gentleman may show up sometime
[03:11] <nhaines> Send them to the mailing list, definitely.
[03:12] <nhaines> #topic Agenda
[03:12] <nhaines> The agenda is empty for this meeting.
[03:12] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[03:12] <nhaines> So first off, I want to say how great the LoCo's Twitter feed is doing this past month.
[03:12] <nhaines> Giant thanks to hangar18 for taking that on.  :)
[03:13] <nhaines> You've really struck the right tone, I think.
[03:13] <pleia2> I did hop on a couple times to add the scale cfp, but otherwise it's been all hangar18 :)
[03:13] <pleia2> so yes, thank you \o/
[03:13] <hangar18> nhaines: THANK YOU!!! I was hoping to do a good job for everyone
[03:14] <hangar18> pleia2: thank you for letting me have the reins for it. I enjoy doing it a lot and I do my best to bring the tone and vibe for it.
[03:14]  * pleia2 thumbs up
[03:14] <nhaines> I'm not on Twitter a lot, but my phone has pinged me often the past two weeks, so I've run into it.  They're great.
[03:14] <nhaines> Thanks again.  :)
[03:14] <nhaines> Is there any other other business this week?
[03:15] <hangar18> I'd like to ask something about the tshirts I put togethe.
[03:15] <hangar18> oops. together
[03:15] <pleia2> nhaines: lmk if you or Richard need any scale help (including rounding up more speakers), I can't attend so I'd like to do *something* before the kiddo arrives in january :)
[03:15] <nhaines> Please!
[03:16] <hangar18> do you need more details about it because I'd love to get that out into the open for everybody to have the chance to buy at cost.
[03:16] <nhaines> pleia2: thanks! :) We are light on submissions, as we always are late in the year. :)
[03:18] <pleia2> ok, we'll chat
[03:18] <hangar18> maybe some of us can meet somewhere in the middle for a team party or something before the baby comes.
[03:18] <nhaines> Can you send along the latest design?
[03:19] <nhaines> pleia2: I have an impossible deadling on the 15th and little time before that. If you like the shirt design, I'm good with that.
[03:19] <hangar18> nhaines: yeah, I'll pull it up and get it over to you. I did change the font on the wording.
[03:19] <pleia2> I don't have a strong opinion design-wise, not my forte :)
[03:19] <hangar18> nhaines: ok, that's cool. I do like it so I'll get the details out to everyone
[03:20] <pleia2> hangar18: alas, probably not being very mobile after thanksgiving ;)
[03:20] <nhaines> Okay, I'll carve out some time.  Thank you. :)
[03:21] <hangar18> pleia2: that's cool.
[03:21] <nhaines> pleia2: we'll hold the party via blue hologram! :)
[03:21] <pleia2> hehe
[03:22] <hangar18> lmao as Luke said in "The Last Jedi," to R2, "that was a cheap move."
[03:22] <hangar18> that'd be an awesome way to hang out
[03:23] <nhaines> And as Johnny Depp said to Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribbean, "Ah! Pirate!"
[03:23] <nhaines> Okay, so I think that about wraps things up.  Thanks to everyone for attending.  :)
[03:23] <hangar18> nhaines: lmao i remember that!
[03:24] <hangar18> you're welcome! i'm glad i was able to be here this time. i hope everyone has a great week.
[03:24] <hangar18> and i'll get information out on the mailing list for items discussed here. and more on twitter/facebook, too.
[03:25] <nhaines> I'm glad you could make it.  :)  The LoCo is better for having you around.
