I'm Kip, based near Vancouver, Canada, and I'm project lead behind the Avaneya initiative, a cerebral science fiction game for GNU/Linux. 23:03 I'm a systems administrator, got Ubuntu server on a few machines... 23:03 Hi KombuchaKip! 23:04 I'm azend from Guelph; Very close to Elmira and KW 23:04 Thought I might be alone in here... 23:04 Hi azend! 23:04 BobJonkman: Hey Bob. 23:04 Hi BobJonkman 23:05 Little distracted here. I'm at Al Madina, and my Schawarma Poutine is almost ready 23:06 That does sound distracting 23:06 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-05-23 has the agenda for today 23:07 First item: 23:07 #topic Canadian Team ReApproval 23:07 And the news is: We're re-approved! 23:07 Woohoo! 23:07 The good news came to us a few days after the last meeting. 23:08 Great work guys! 23:08 For some reason, it was delayed, and had to go through a Launchpad bug process. 23:08 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075848 is the bug report (and resolution) for our reapproval 23:08 Ubuntu bug 1075848 in Ubuntu LoCo Teams "Re-approval, ubuntu-ca" [Critical,Fix released] 23:09 I like that, "Critical, fix released" 23:10 Me too 23:11 Thanx again to everyone who helped out with that 23:12 bregma spoke at the LoCo meeting; dscassel wrote some words, kbiefer helped with the ReApproval page... 23:12 And lots of other folk too! 23:13 And I did nothing which is why I'm thanking those who did :) 23:15 Hey, you're with us in spirit! 23:15 And with us now! 23:15 :) 23:15 On to the next topic: 23:16 #topic Events, past and present 23:16 We're about to launch into an UbuntuHour right after the IRC meeting. 23:16 Slayah is here with me. Hi Slayah! 23:17 Hello. 23:17 Hi Slayah 23:17 But the big news is all the Ubuntu Release Parties we had over the last month 23:18 Certainly 23:18 They were a lot of fun 23:18 I wasn't able to make it out but I hope the one in Toronto was fun 23:19 Various pictures at http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/464470/detailed (KW) 23:19 http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed has the Guelph pics 23:19 Yay to azend for organizing the Guelph venue. 23:20 * azend thanks BobJonkman for taking some pictures as he forgot. 23:20 Bigger and better the next time I hope 23:20 I think there may be more pictures coming (not sure tho) 23:21 I'm thinking we should put up an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter on the wiki 23:21 I would be happy to 23:21 Great! 23:22 #action azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki 23:22 * meetingology azend to create an Ubuntu Canada Guelph Chapter page on the Wiki 23:22 uh oh 23:22 what am I getting myself into? :P 23:22 Now it's official. No backing out! :) 23:23 If you still have access to Diyode facilities, maybe you can host the June IRC meeting IRL 23:25 Or not. Just an idea. 23:25 I could do that 23:25 I would have to be organized but I could do that 23:25 #idea The newly formed Guelph Chapter could host the IRC Meeting IRL 23:26 * azend learns that a wiki page constitutes a real life chapter 23:26 * BobJonkman adds some more hot sauce to the Schawarma Poutine 23:26 I would be happy to host a meeting 23:26 Hey, if it's on the Internet, it must be true. 23:27 Could host an Ubuntu Hour the same way... 23:28 Moving on... 23:28 subtopic Online events 23:28 #subtopic Online events 23:28 * azend looked away 23:28 online events! 23:28 Did anyone attend any of hthe UDS or Ubuntu Open Week events? 23:28 I didn't.. 23:29 and it looks like it's just you and me BobJonkman 23:29 :) 23:30 I sat in on the IRC discussion for the LoCo chapter subdivision discussion. 23:30 Same as before - the LoCo council is in favour of breaking up large country LoCos into provincial or state chapters; some LoCos prefer City or region chapters, others don't want sub-chapters at all. 23:31 I think this is all I've got http://imgur.com/a/7knay 23:31 Sadly, most of that meeting took place in a Google Hangout, which doesn't work on a computer running only on F/LOSS 23:32 And I don't think the IRC discussion for that was archived beyond the IRC Log Bot 23:32 That's both true and rather ironic 23:32 aren't the hangout sessions recorded and posted to youtube afterwards? 23:32 Yes, but they lack the IRC portion of the discussion 23:33 There was also an Ubuntu (Ether)pad in progress; I don't know what happened with that. 23:33 Etherpad is awesome these days 23:34 I'm really happy with how far they've come 23:34 If anyone's interested, I can find the links to the video, IRC logs and UbuntuPad 23:34 Yeh, I've been running an Etherpad VM appliance. 23:34 But I like that Ubuntu is hosting its own Pad service 23:35 Better than relying on Google Docs 23:36 Very true 23:36 Moving on? 23:36 Definately 23:36 #topic Other stuff 23:37 I have nothing 23:37 Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials 23:38 Oh? 23:38 it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer 23:38 KwartzLab for instance has a great printer 23:38 it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something 23:39 I managed to have a plotter lying around but, for those who don't, it would be cool if we could give them something to show off 23:39 Just an idea. 23:40 #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers 23:41 Those interested can come and contact me 23:41 ouch... 23:41 I didn't know he hated my idea that much.. 23:41 He just pinged out 23:41 Is that where you got your party poster? http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/465654/detailed 23:41 Slayah: I know :P 23:41 * BobJonkman1 is back 23:42 #topic Call-out for an order of Ubuntu Canada stickers 23:42 Those interested can come and contact me 23:42 <-- BobJonkman (~BobJonkma@CPE00222dd67418-CM00222dd67415.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 23:42 ouch... 23:42 I didn't know he hated my idea that much.. 23:42 It's a great idea! 23:42 Mail-order Ubuntu Canada promotional materials 23:42 Oh? 23:42 it would be cool if you could order posters or something from another member with a nice printer 23:42 KwartzLab for instance has a great printer 23:42 it would be cool if we could shoot them a couple bucks for 20 posters or something 23:42 I managed to have a plotter lying around but, for those who don't, it would be cool if we could give them something to show off 23:42 Just an idea. 23:42 BobJonkman1: no. I did not get my poster from KwartzLab 23:43 that was printed at my school and then carried through cambridge to guelph on a long and arduous travel path 23:43 #idea: Get some local makerspaces to print promotional posters for distribution to Canadian Team members 23:43 But the poster looked pretty good 23:44 BobJonkman1: Look at you. Getting the command verb correct. 23:44 Sure did! 23:45 (that was meant for "the poster Sure Did look good", not "I Sure Did get that command verb correct" 23:45 I got that :) 23:46 azend: Are you on the Ubuntu-ca mailing list? 23:46 It would be nice to get some stickers together though 23:46 BobJonkman1: I believe so 23:46 Yes I am 23:47 The mailing list might be the best place to coordinate poster requests (and possible printing locations) 23:47 Sure 23:48 https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca for subscribing to the mailing list, for anyone who is interested 23:49 azend: Do you want to run with that? Asking on the mailing list to see who's interested in coughing up some bucks for posters or stickers? 23:49 Sure. 23:50 I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode 23:50 He pinged out again 23:50 Slayah: darn him 23:51 Sorry. Just switch WiFi APs 23:51 Wind mobile eh? That's why. 23:51 Actually, I just connected to my phone tether. The restaurant WiFi was flakey. 23:51 That makes sense 23:51 Restaurant wifi is even worse than Wind 23:52 So: 23:52 Sure. 23:52 I might give it a couple of hours to talk with the people who already have purchased stickers for Diyode 23:52 #action azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers 23:52 * meetingology azend to ask on the mailing list about printing posters and stickers 23:53 That's probably the coolest thing anyone's come up with in one of these IRC meetings in a long time 23:54 Trust me, I didn't think too hard on it. 23:54 but I would love an ubuntu canada sticker on my laptop 23:55 There's always room for another sticker! 23:56 OK, approaching the end of the IRC hour. 23:56 I hadn't realized that it has been an hour already 23:57 time flies 23:57 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. 23:57 Does anyone else have anything else to bring up 23:57 azend FiReSTaRT cyphermox KombuchaKip bregma ubuntulog DarwinSu1vivor mars NCommander ryanakca IdleOne jlamothe txwikinger jaguar sipherdee_ zul egerlach 23:58 Next meeting for 27 June?
