[00:18] <valorie> it seems that klipper used to have a qr code generator as a way to save a block of text!
[00:19] <valorie> but I don't see the scissors at the base of the Clipboard any more so that's gone, and the other linux ways of generating them
[00:19] <valorie> do not allow insertion of logos, etc.
[00:20] <valorie> I wonder if any of the big linus art projects do... 
[00:20] <valorie> linux
 I'm glad Rick took care of the email, and I'm excited to see the progress here!
 Just for some transparency, Jonathan is waiting on just slightly more specific information
 Scarlett is going to send him an invoice, but Jonathan wants to know if this is considered the initial transfer or an additional $2k on top
 If anyone from the KC sees this before Rick, IMHO, JFDI. We need to make sure Scarlett gets paid. Thanks in advance for the help, it's bedtime for me ;)
 valorie: I saw a QR code generator in #debian-til the other day btw, arraybolt3 probably knows more ;)
[02:46] <arraybolt3> I know Plasma itself can generate QR codes in the clipboard history popup.
[02:46] <arraybolt3> But that doesn't make a logo-ified QR code.
[02:52] <valorie> right, there are various ways to do it but adding the logo is not so easy and most people don't want that -- but for clothing etc. I think it's cool
[02:54] <valorie> my version of the clipboard does not include that generator but on the other hand this box has "kpop" on it because of nvidia issues
[02:54] <valorie> looking forward to getting back to kubuntu on this box with the LTS
[02:55] <valorie> travel lappy is on kub; I'll check there
[02:55] <valorie> evidently generating the codes is rather basic and has been done for a long time
[02:56] <valorie> but until people started using them for marketing they didn't become widely known/used
[02:56] <valorie> & misused
 I just made a QR code using the clipboard and pasted logo over the top and my phone could still read it. From my understanding, the QR code have redundant info so they are still readable when damaged (or partially covered with logos): https://imgur.com/a/rVabMRz
 /redundant/redundancy/
 Just don't put the logo dead center as that renders it unreadable.
[03:45] <valorie> ah, in my example it's right in the middle, but it was generated around the logo
 let my try another QR code format....
[03:46] <valorie> I was just hacking out an example for my genealogy society
[03:47] <valorie> didn't try with the K - it would be easier with a larger K without the solid box around it
[03:47] <valorie> otoh it might not be worth doing
 If I use the standard QR, a center logo works fine.  I tried the one with the squares in the middle thinking I could safely park a logo there...
[03:48] <valorie> but I think qr codes *are* worth it
[03:49] <valorie> how are you, @DarinMiller
[03:49] <valorie> I just heard from my son Thomas this evening and heard that he's thinking about flying north to go to LFNW with me :-)
[03:50] <valorie> I think Simon is planning on it, and so are @ahoneybun and Emma from System76
 I am quite well Valorie.  How is everyone in your neck of the woods?
[03:51] <valorie> pretty good!
[03:52] <valorie> except my younger sister, who is sinking into early-onset dementia
[03:52] <valorie> :-(
[03:52] <valorie> it seems so wrong
[03:52] <valorie> my mother died of it
[03:53] <valorie> but the rest of the family is flourishing
 I am sorry to hear about your sister and unfortunately I can somewhat relate.....  My wife and I lost several family members last year... some age related, some cancer, and one depression... the inevitability is harder to ignore as we age...
 Contrarily, we have 3 grand kids that steer us to the brighter side of life. :)
[04:01] <valorie> for sure!
[04:02] <valorie> I have one grandson and multitudes of nephews, nieces and their children
[04:02] <valorie> my sis had 7 kids
[04:03] <valorie> none of them so far linux users but of course I've not given up hope
[04:03] <valorie> lol
 lol, we can always hope. :)
[04:04] <valorie> I heard a cool story today after the Council meeting about an American volunteering in Ukraine working with the Ukranians to build "drone" stretchers
[04:04] <valorie> which are programmed and controled by steam deck
[04:05] <valorie> it even mentioned linux
[04:05] <valorie> brilliant idea
[04:05] <valorie> they don't fly, but are sorta like RC cars
 Fun stuff.  People are awesome!
[04:06] <valorie> I didn't find any news stories about it yet
[04:07] <valorie> this guy was being interveiwed while home an leave and is local 
[04:07] <valorie> Ukraine is full of programmers, etc.
 Morning KC folks, re @tsimonq2 and Jonathan clarification, I did send an email to him explaining, what should happen.
[09:28] <sgmoore> Good morning
[09:29] <ricktimmis_> Good Morning 
 Still not getting emails from the KC list. Launchpad says I am subbed, but no emails are going to any of the emal addresses on my LP account
 But I have read Ricks emails in the list archive
 and good morning :)
[09:37] <ricktimmis_> Good Morning Rik. I might be having the same issue, where did you got to check your subscription ?
 https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-council
[09:38] <ricktimmis_> Ta, will go check
 The button says 'unsubscribe' for mean, presumably meaning I am subbed
 *for me
[09:38] <ricktimmis_> Yep, same for me.
[09:40] <ricktimmis_> Did you check your mailing list subscriptions
[09:40] <ricktimmis_> https://launchpad.net/~rick-timmis/+editmailinglis
[09:40] <ricktimmis_> https://launchpad.net/~rick-timmis/+editmailinglists
 Ok, checked on my subs page and the KC is there and going to my main gmail
 So it should work
[09:42] <ricktimmis_> I'm just sending a test message to the KC list now, so you should get it in a few minutes
 Got that one
 Maybe just accessing those pages woke launchpad up
 Probably also a good idea to have the subbed address as a real one, and not a mail forwarder like our kubuntu.org email
 Got to go and do a few things. Will be back later
 Anyone know who manages our Mastodon account kubuntu@fostodon.org ?
 This is a fun game of telephone ;) (re @Rick_Timmis: Morning KC folks, re @tsimonq2 and Jonathan clarification, I did send an email to him explaining, what should happen.)
 FWIW ubuntu.social is a thing (re @Rick_Timmis: Anyone know who manages our Mastodon account kubuntu@fostodon.org ?)
 Essentially, again to make things slightly more transparent so we can get Scarlett paid... (re @tsimonq2: This is a fun game of telephone ;))
 I believe I have the login (re @Rick_Timmis: Anyone know who manages our Mastodon account kubuntu@fostodon.org ?)
 The best path forward would be for someone on the KC to email Jonathan saying "this is our payment schedule, she gets $2k on 01/31, $2k at February EOM, $2k at the end of March"
 I understand the pedanticism because this is actually used as a reference legally speaking
 So no qualms about that, just need to solve this little game of telephone we're having :)
 Yep, leave that with me I'll get it done, I'm at work at present but I'll email him before the next 3hrs has passed
[18:37] <ricktimmis_> KC Members with the next LTS do we intend to support it for 3 or 5 years ?
 3 is SOP
[18:41] <ricktimmis_> OK, Just thinking about Plasma 5, and dependents such as Kubuntu Focus, do we consider 5 ?
 3 due to the universe I think?
 There will be another LTS in 2 years anyway
[18:49] <ricktimmis_> Also just taking a duster to KDE Phabricator, where we have a Kubuntu Project KanBan Board...
[18:49] <ricktimmis_> https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/214/
[18:50] <ricktimmis_> Do we want to continue using this, and should I clean it up (i.e remove all the tasks, to make space for new, and sort out the columns)
 I feel like a good clean might not be bad but depends on if we have any bug reports in there?
[18:57] <ricktimmis_> No Biugs, they're in LP and KDE I think, It's all the stuff we were doing as a Council / Community really
[18:57] <ricktimmis_> OK, I will tidy it up
 For the record: I need some time off from Ubuntu to rest. I will still be available to Scarlett as usual (I'm still doing $dayjob work and that's part of it, she should not worry), everything else, sorry, can't participate or talk until Monday. Thanks for your understanding.
[20:04] <sgmoore> Sorry I was on a call. I put in a ticket to sysadmin to create a Kubuntu team to use invent boards and the like as the phabricator instance will be retired sometime in the near(ish) future.
 Perfect, thanks!
[20:07] <sgmoore> And with that, I am going to call it a day :) Early start, means may days ends a bit early ( hope that isn't a problem. Leaves me time to do chores and dinner :) See you all tomorrow!
 Thanks sgmoore, I won't do anything further on Phab, and wait for Invent board
[20:20] <sgmoore> Sounds good!
 By the way Scarlett, I have an email coming your way in the next 10 or so minutes, don't feel rushed to look at it tonight unless you're feeling up for it :)
[21:50] <valorie> <--- very happy to see more communication and Stuff Getting Done
