BobJonkman1 zykotick9 mars DarwinSurvivor dscassel FiReSTaRT IdleOne egerlach txwikinger2 ryanakca Kulag azend bregma jlamothe sipherdee zul cyphermox jaguar 23:02:44 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-03-28 23:02:48 That's the agenda 23:03:36 #topic Introductions 23:04:22 I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, (currently at Almadina restaurant in anticipation of Ubuntu Hour) contact for Ubuntu Canada and chairing the meeting until dscassel gets here 23:06:40 I'm Verdi from Guelph. 23:07:42 Hi azend! 23:08:11 I don't think I've ever made a meeting because I either forget or it's just at a bad time 23:08:30 Well, you didn't forget :) Is it a bad time? 23:08:41 No. 23:09:01 You just caught me coding up some C++ 23:09:24 Great! I'm just waiting for Katherine to show up - she's just connecting to the WiFi now. 23:09:49 azend: Are you working on something Ubuntish? 23:10:12 Heh I wish 23:10:31 But it will run on a debian-ed raspberry pi 23:10:43 Close enough! 23:10:46 or Ubuntu technically 23:12:22 So BobJonkman1, while we're waiting, how do you feel about Mir? 23:12:30 There you are! Hi Katherine! 23:12:48 Hi Bob! 23:13:14 I haven't checked it out at all. But philosophically I'm in favour of refactoring old code to remove all the legacy X stuff 23:13:35 In practice, I'm not so sure that Canonical is going about it the right way. 23:14:48 OK, I guess we'll move on to the next 23:14:51 #topic Events 23:15:54 There was only a brief Ubuntu Global Jam in Kitchener-Waterloo that piggybacked on Ubuntu Hour 23:16:51 bbiab 23:18:34 http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/3178393/size/800 is a picture of us at the Jam/Hour 23:19:15 I didn't attend any of the online hangouts for the UDS... 23:19:42 But Katherine and I were both at the coffeeshop for the Page Polishing Party 23:21:49 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam received quite a facelift 23:22:40 Did anyone go to UbuntuSDKDays? 23:23:40 Finally in Events, the LoCo Council meeting did not take place on 19 March 23:23:54 Apparently there were no items on their agenda. 23:24:27 I did not know that we were required to add our own ReApproval request to the agenda. 23:26:09 The next LoCo Council Meeting is on 16 April 2013 at 4:00pm EDT (although there have been glitches with Daylight Saving Time, so that might be off by an hour) 23:27:25 It seem the LoCo Council Agenda page has not yet been updated for this meeting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda (still says 19 March 2013) 23:28:21 I haven't added our ReApproval Request yet, because I will not be available on 16 April, and *someone* from Ubuntu-ca needs to attend 23:28:35 So, any volunteers? 23:29:48 OK, we'll leave that for the moment 23:30:23 #help Need someone to attend the LoCo Council meeting on 16 April 2013 at 4:00pm EDT to represent Ubuntu-ca for the ReApproval Request 23:31:03 OK, onwards, I guess. 23:31:32 #subtopic Ubuntu Release Parties 23:32:12 Q: Are there any planned for Canada? 23:33:28 #idea We could delay the Release Party until the RaringRingtail CD/DVDs have arrived (which requires that Ubuntu-ca gets their re-approval first) 23:34:25 That way we'll have something more to give away than devilled eggs and burned DVDs marked up with sharpie markers 23:34:51 But first we need to find venues 23:34:56 * bregma wakes up 23:35:05 Howdy, bregma! 23:35:29 hey 23:35:42 Hi bregma 23:36:00 sorry to go back a topic, but if you need a volunteer for the lococouncil, I can probably show up 23:36:10 Slow meeting. azend stepped out, and Katherine can talk to me in person 23:36:13 bregma: Great! 23:36:14 I'm not quite sure what I'd need to do 23:36:21 I'm back 23:36:39 Quorum is achieved! 23:36:48 (not that I know what quorum is) 23:36:56 Just need to read the backlog first. 23:37:25 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012 is the page with our ReApproval info 23:37:43 Hopefully you can just point the LoCo Council there, and it'll speak for itself. 23:37:59 (you == bregma) 23:38:17 mkay, sounds easy enough 23:38:54 bregma: Will you add our ReApproval request to the LoCo Council agenda? 23:39:01 When are the install CD/DVDs set to arrive? 23:39:07 sure, I can do that 23:39:21 more buy-in for me 23:39:24 azend: Typically, CD/DVDs arrive 2 to 4 weeks after release 23:40:08 dscassel gets them, but has had to pay duty/tariff/taxes/fees to get them across the border 23:40:37 At a previous meeting someone said either that shouldn't happen, or there's a way to get reimbursed 23:40:40 BobJonkman1: I wouldn't mind running my first Ubuntu launch party in Guelph 23:41:14 Zounds! That's great, azend! I'm a mere 20 minutes from Guelph (by car), so I'll come! 23:41:54 I can't get to Guelph on local public transit 23:42:08 #action azend offers to host an Ubuntu Release Party in Guelph 23:42:08 * meetingology azend offers to host an Ubuntu Release Party in Guelph 23:42:24 I've been to a few of dscassel's parties @KwartzLab in the past and they were fun 23:42:28 Katherine: I'm sure some kind soul from KW may be available for carpooling 23:43:24 I'll keep that in mind 23:43:51 I'm in KW every day 23:43:55 It isn't a fun bus ride 23:44:19 But the greyhound isn't bad if you're nearby the terminals 23:44:22 I'm not sure how often GO Transit makes the trip. Probably not on weekends. 23:45:03 Don't ride go. You get stuck out by aberfoyle for like an hour at most times 23:45:24 Yech. Aberfoyle is nice, but not from the inside of a GO bus 23:45:43 I don't mind riding intercity buses, I just can't afford to pay for the rides right now 23:46:02 I'm sure the Vancouver LoCo will have some kind of Release Party event 23:46:04 You're not in a GO bus; You're in a small terribly heated glass box 23:46:14 And genii-around is usually good for a party in Toronto 23:46:31 And dscassel may offer Kwartzlab again in KW 23:46:47 Party, party party! (and it's not even Friday) 23:46:48 I'll probably be celebrating by catching up on sleep 23:47:09 bregma: You're in Quebec, aren't you? 23:47:22 Oh, hey! Meeting! 23:47:31 nope, nearth Perth, ON 23:47:34 Oh, hey! dscassel! 23:47:46 Sorry, I've gotta pack for my trip home, but I can check in occasionally. 23:47:50 Hi dscassel 23:47:52 bregma: So we can expect a Perth Release Party? 23:48:16 OK, dscassel. There'll be minutes and such. We won't volunteer you for too much/ 23:48:31 I think the other guy here that uses Ubuntu may be away at school that day 23:48:50 bregma: :) Perth is just north-west of KW, isn't it? 23:49:11 no, that's Perth County, people always mix them up 23:49:24 Guilty as charged. 23:50:37 OK, that's Release Parties wrapped up. azend, keep us posted on the mailing list! Looking forward to it! 23:50:54 #topic Other Stuff 23:51:23 I guess bregma is taking care of our representation for the LoCo renewal 23:51:37 #action bregma is taking care of our representation for the LoCo renewal 23:51:37 * meetingology bregma is taking care of our representation for the LoCo renewal 23:52:27 Anything else? 23:52:45 Has anyone been looking at the Ubuntu On Air stuff? 23:53:25 http://ubuntuonair.com/ 23:53:30 I do sometimes, but not the last few weeks. 23:53:35 Work's been hectic. 23:53:42 Looks like IRC meetings, but with voice and video 23:53:51 Basically. 23:54:04 it's much like vUDS 23:54:19 Jono does his Q&A thing there as well. Which if you have any questions or concerns, is a good place to bring them up. 23:54:54 I looked at watched the first one 23:55:12 I saw part of something with Jono Bacon, Elizabeth Krumbach and Laura Czajkowski. 23:55:40 Randall Ross was there too. Might have been a vUDS at that. 23:57:22 I had to find a different computer to view the video, since this one is Googlefree. Would be nice if the whole thing could be hosted on Ubuntu servers. Google has enough of my demographic profile without giving them my Ubuntu interests 23:58:23 OK, it's approaching 8:00pm at Almadina and the rest of the timezone. 23:58:25 well, I wouldn't be suprized if "Ubuntu servers" were virtual servers running on a google farm 23:58:53 or on Microsoft Azure even 23:59:10 bregma: You might be right. I'm logged into irc.ubuntu.com but it's just Feenode.net by a different name 23:59:18 all that cloudy stuff makes my head swim 23:59:21 bregma: Really?!? 23:59:28 give me silicon 23:59:57 ("Really?!?" was directed at MS Azure, not bregma's swimming head) 00:00:27 OK. time for an Ubuntu Hour here. Thanx, everyone! 00:00:29 I dunno, I head MS runs a pretty good cloud, and they offer ubuntu out of the box 00:00:44 thanks for hosting, BobJonkman1 00:01:12 Yes, thanks 00:01:19 You're welcome! 00:01:22 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
