[02:01] <nhaines> Hi everyone!  Meeting time.  :)
[02:03] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/19August18
[02:03] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming Events
[02:04] <nhaines> UbuCon LA is up and running between the 22nd and 24th of August.  It'll certainly be amazing!
[02:05] <nhaines> Locally there's not much going on, but we're already in discussions on UbuCon @ SCALE 18x in Pasadena next March.
[02:05] <nhaines> Does anyone know of any other upcoming Ubuntu-related events?
[02:06] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[02:07] <nhaines> Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS was released on August 8th, so time to update your ISOs for future deployments!
[02:08] <nhaines> LTS point releases offer the same great experience as the original release, but with all updates to that point rolled in.
[02:08] <nhaines> And the second point release on includes a Hardware Enablement kernel from future versions of Ubuntu, offering improved hardware compatibility and support.
[02:08] <nhaines> #topic Agenda
[02:08] <nhaines> There are no items on tonight's agenda.
[02:09] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[02:09] <nhaines> Is there any other business to discuss at this meeting?
[02:09] <Guest50> Hello
[02:09] <nhaines> Hello, and welcome to our monthly meeting, currently in progress.
[02:09] <Guest50> How does it work?
[02:09] <nhaines> Right now we're just discussing any other business before we wrap up.
[02:10] <nhaines> It's quiet tonight, so in a couple of minutes we'll be able to discuss anything else you might be interested in.  :)
[02:10] <Guest50> I’m new and wondering if there are any upcoming events
[02:12] <nhaines> Welcome!  At the beginning of the meeting, I noticed UbuCon LA in Chile happening from Thursday to Saturday, and we've already begun planning for UbuCon at the Southern California Linux Expo in Pasadena in March 2020.
[02:12] <Guest50> also is there a video chat or is this all text based? I don’t see other messages?
[02:13] <nhaines> It's all text-based.  During the summer, things are pretty quiet, so this meeting is more pro-forma than usual.
[02:14] <nhaines> I'm going to go ahead and end this meeting and then we can talk freely.
[02:14] <nhaines> Logs will be available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/19August18
[02:14] <nhaines> Our next meeting will be held on September 15th, 2019.  I hope to see everyone there!

[02:16] <nhaines> Guest50: Welcome!  How did you find us?
[02:18] <Guest50> I’m in the Bay Area and I recently started learning about contributing
[02:20] <nhaines> Glad to hear it!  we used to be very active in the LA area, and then in the Bay Area for a bit, and now it's mostly around LA again.
[02:21] <nhaines> We do have a pretty low-volume mailing list you can subscribe to.  You could ask around there about Bay Area projects like Partimus.  https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-us-ca
