Catchy name! 00:24 although I think I'm the only one here who uses Unity 00:24 * BobJonkman1 is not a fan of Unity 00:25 I love it.. 00:25 OK, moving on to more recent stuff 00:25 #subtopic Ongoing events 00:25 We had a pleasant Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener a couple of weeks ago 00:26 And azend_ had one in Guelph last week. 00:26 Aruna (who can't be with us tonight) is planning one for the near future in Toronto 00:27 And I've already scheduled the next Ubuntu Hour KW for Monday, 17 March 00:27 St. Patrick's Day? 00:28 It's St. Patricks Day, so I joke we're going to Thanh O'Nguyen's Vietnamese restaurant 00:28 well the Irish pubs will be a bit full 00:28 as will the Irish 00:28 "Tony" makes a mean Vietnamese Green Curry dish 00:29 #subtopic Upcoming events! 00:29 Lots of stuff on the horizon, what with an upcoming release and all 00:31 Apparently we have sound 00:31 I can hear Bob 00:32 if anyone wants a direct invite, send me your email. 00:33 * BobJonkman1 has just recapped the events for the Video chat 00:35 Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS is coming out on 17 April 00:36 genii has a release party in Toronto on the 17th, 00:36 with free cupcakes and coffee 00:36 (but you have to decorate your own cupcake) 00:36 That could be fun! 00:37 Next week is the Ubuntu Developer Week, followed by Ubuntu Developer Summit the week after. 00:37 bregma: Can you shed any insight on those events? 00:38 sorry, I've been too tied up in the last couple of weeks to pay attention to those events 00:39 Google+ video page, for refence: https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s 00:39 I suspect it will involve a lot of discussions about phones and apps for phones 00:39 What news on phone hardware? 00:41 Mark Shuttleworth announces two OEMs (phone manufacturers) will be selling Ubuntu phones, probably by the end of this year 00:42 Ubuntu Global Jam is also coming up. 00:42 Last year we had a great time at Computer Recycling. 00:42 I hope to get Charles McColm chaslinux to host again this year 00:42 Or maybe dscassel can get us Kwartzlab again 00:43 There's an opportunity to fix bugs, install the new release, discover new bugs, write some documentation 00:43 And it's another excuse for an Ubuntu Social Event 00:43 * BobJonkman1 and katherineb are such party animals 00:44 After UGJ I hope to have a release party here in KW as well. 00:44 dscassel promised! 00:45 missed it? 00:45 I'm thinking of doing another wipe and load when 14.04 comes out, I might bring my laptop with me 00:45 cagordon: Nope, we're still going. 00:45 Join us in the Video Chat at https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s if you've got the Googles 00:47 I was thinking of holding the April IRC meeting on Release Day 00:47 So we should be able to catch the Toronto gang as they gearing up for their release party 00:48 Although last year it was a bit hectic having an IRC meeting in the middle of a party 00:50 After the release there is something called Ubuntu Open Week 00:51 a series of classroom events 00:51 I think they're being held on Google Hangouts, but there may still be a backchannel on IRC. 00:52 The IRC channel tends to suffer from lack of attention in Ubuntu Open Week. 00:52 I can tell you, it's difficult to focus your attention in two places at once 00:52 #link Ubuntu Open Week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek 00:53 But I don't think it's updated for the new release yet 00:53 Jono Bacon had a blog post about it: http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/12/05/ubuntu-events-coming-up/ 00:56 Anybody on Facebook? 00:56 I'd like to get a Facebook curator for an Ubuntu Canada page so that other people have a place to get information and join the Ubuntu Canada community 00:57 It might nice to have an Ubuntu Canada Twitter feed too. 00:57 I'll if anything like that exists already. 00:57 Oh, I guess that should have gone into "Other Stuff" 00:57 #topic Other Stuff 00:57 Any other Other Stuff? 00:57 Does Ubuntu Canada have a facebook account? 00:58 the colour coding on my new headphones is backwards... 00:58 katherineb: I don't know... 00:58 katherineb: Are you on Facebook? 00:58 https://www.facebook.com/groups/482867065100815/?fref=ts 00:59 No and I don't want to sign up but might consider volunteering if I was just using an organizational account 00:59 katherineb: I think Facebook wants people accounts, not organization accounts 01:00 So once you're in as a person you can set up a page for an organization 01:00 katherineb: If you want to create an account as firstname=Ubuntu lastname=Canada I have no objections 01:01 I take that back.. this is the correct page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2212705657/?fref=ts 01:01 I guess not then. I don't want to be on facebook myself 01:01 the first one I listed is mis-using the ubuntu name for who knows what end 01:01 The link to the Facebook page Cranky posted can only be seen if you're logged in. So that's not for me. 01:02 Alrighty then, probably time to wrap it up 01:02 Any last words from anyone? 01:03 Next IRC/Video Chat will be on Thursday, 27 March at the usual time 01:03 I think we'll have the kinks worked out of the video by then 01:04 I've asked Jeff to start the video at 6:58pm EST so that we can adjust the rabbit ears before the meeting starts 01:04 OK, goodnight everybodeee! 01:04 Good night ! 01:04 goodnight everybody 01:05 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
