[07:12] <valorie> I have not gotten a link, but my alarm is set for 4:45 AM tomorrow morning; hopefully a link appears here or on my phone by about then....
 It will. I'll have it here 15 mins before
[12:52] <valorie> hello?
[12:53] <valorie> @tsimonq2?
 A bit over an hour to go by my reckoning
[12:54] <valorie> hmmm, I guess I''ll just sleep here for an hour....
 Correct :)
 Afternoon
 morning lol
 Hey hey :)
 https://meet.jit.si/GenerousFibresPaintNor is the meeting link. I've had some problems with snap confinement and video calls recently, I'd highly recommend just using Falkon.
 We start in 26 minutes or so, I'll be there 5 minutes early, I'd suggest everyone who is available try to test their setup with Jitsi
 If for some reason this is not working, tell me, we'll go with Google Meet
 10:4
 Seems I can get in ok and use the chat
[13:53] <valorie> hey RikMills, ltns

[15:07] <valorie> and done
[15:08] <valorie> going back to bed until it's light.....
[15:08] <valorie> loved hearing everyone's voice
 I've been busy packaging the COSMIC packages for NixOS lol
 Thanks valorie!
 I too enjoyed the meeting. It was good to hear from everyone! :)
 Yes, as discussed we should get back to doing that on a regular schedule
 Indeed. I should be using Kubuntu again, I've been on Nobara Plasma since I've been streaming for a bit.
 I would highly recommend joining the TB meeting starting right about now. Sorry for the short notice
 I'm happy to, but I don't have an invite of link
[20:00] <arraybolt3_wc> #ubuntu-meeting IRC channel
 Ah ha, perfect
[20:00] <arraybolt3_wc> all text-based this time
[20:01] <arraybolt3_wc> (my nick is weird since I switched to a local client for better reliability just in case - my normal arraybolt3 nick is active in #ubuntu-meeting and now this is my bouncer.)
 On route to it now
[20:07] <arraybolt3_wc> Rick_Timmis: just fyi the meeting is in progress.
 Yes, thanks array.. I've joined it
 Doesn't seem to be about anything Kubuntu at the moment.

[21:19] <ricktimmis> Fellow Councillors, I have prepared a News post on kubuntu.org regarding the Kubuntu Council meeting today.
[21:19] <ricktimmis> https://kubuntu.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=5130&action=edit
 Do anyone know the answer to this question?:
 If my ubuntu.com and kubuntu.org emails go to my proton.me email how can I reply as one of those alias?
 I think you should be able to set the Reply-to field in your email client.
[21:31] <ricktimmis> I will look to Publish that News on Sunday 4th February
[21:47] <valorie> ricktimmis: looks great; you strike exactly the right tone
[21:47] <valorie> although I don't think we set a limit of $6000, that's just a quibble
[21:48] <ricktimmis> Well that sentence was the one that worried me.
[21:48] <ricktimmis> Although we agreed that on list, I wonder if the amount would better left out of the news post ??
[21:49] <valorie> yes
[21:49] <ricktimmis> OK, I think so too. I'll make that change before I publish
[21:49] <valorie> what I came away with was "preliminary budget"
[21:49] <ricktimmis> Much better.. I'll use that
[21:50] <valorie> Scarlett could make huge progress in a short time, or find knotty problems we didn't anticipate
[21:50] <valorie> I'm glad we have enough money to have a cushion
[21:51] <ricktimmis> I very much liked your idea about fundraising, perhaps a discussion point for the next meeting
[21:52] <valorie> I let someone borrow my old Kubuntu tshirt and it never returned :(
[21:52] <valorie> I miss it and would wear a new one
[21:52] <valorie> or a polo
[21:53] <valorie> laptop bags would sell too
 We should do new merch
[21:53] <valorie> has ubuntu sent out the artwork for the LTS?
[21:53] <ricktimmis> Well, Eric E setup an Ubuntu Studio Merch Shop, and he helped them do the same for Kubuntu Focus. I'm sure he'd be willing to give us a few pinters
[21:54] <valorie> excellent news
[21:54] <valorie> does anyone have experience using a logo in a QR code?
[21:54] <valorie> and is there a good way to create one without paying someone
[21:55] <valorie> it would be fun to have a code in our merch that sends people to our site
[21:55] <ricktimmis> I would think so, although you could simply brand around the QR Code to achieve the same thing I gues
[21:55] <valorie> mmmm, I've seen them inside it
[21:56] <ricktimmis> Yes me too. I have tools to make QR codes, but I haven't tried to do one with a brand logo in it. Would need more looking into
[21:57] <ricktimmis> Ah he her it is
[21:57] <ricktimmis> https://ubuntustudio.myspreadshop.com/
[22:00] <valorie> spreadshirt is a decent company too
[22:04] <sgmoore> Hello all, I want to thank each and every one of you, and I look forward to bringing Kubuntu back to its former glory. Thank you !!!!
[22:05] <ricktimmis> Hey Scarlett, we're looking forward to working with you again :-)
[22:12] <sgmoore> :)
[22:14] <sgmoore> I am all set to begin diving in tomorrow, I am not on a bouncer as of yet, but will sort it out. I will of course check in when I am here! Thanks again!
[23:25] <valorie> I just quickly made a business card w/QR code for my genealogy society in Canva as proof of concept: https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7ZpIUlJg/6E8vl3uav_w9vOmD2TU2Cg/edit?utm_content=DAF7ZpIUlJg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
