I'm one of the contacts for Ubuntu Canada 23:05 <belkinsa> I'm Svetlana Belkin, from the Ohio Team. I just came to see how this will go. I'm one of the contacts of Ohio Team. 23:06 <razorgoto> i am in! 23:06 <razorgoto> I am Sammy Lao, in Toronto. 23:06 <Cranky_> https://plus.google.com/events/ckmoqf7m5qcrmvrq0gaj0umgjt4 23:07 <Cranky_> this, I believe, is the link.. 23:07 <BobJonkman> Pardon our slowness as we juggle the video stuff. 23:08 <BobJonkman> I can see Jeff and Sammy, but haven't got onscreen myself yet 23:08 <Cranky_> stop juggling the camera, Bob! 23:08 <BobJonkman> Maybe that's the problem ;) 23:08 <bregma> I do not believe that's the link for joining, only for passive consumption 23:09 <belkinsa> Shame. 23:09 <Cranky_> try this one then: 23:09 <Cranky_> https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYfE_l_y7ElnUcN-RrW8FzTbUzkiVy8ojMRcVncm896Ea3mUug?authuser=0&eid=116845700584173888571&hl=en-GB 23:09 <belkinsa> Yes! 23:10 <bregma> yippur, c'est ca 23:10 <belkinsa> Woot! 23:10 <BobJonkman> OK, if that's the end of introductions then we'll carry on. 23:11 <BobJonkman> We just needed that right link 23:11 <bregma> folks should use headphones and close other viewers so the laaag doesn;t kill things 23:12 <BobJonkman> Good stuff. I' here, now with headsets 23:12 <belkinsa> I know. bregma. 23:12 <belkinsa> I have two laptops on 23:13 <BobJonkman> Getting "Hi"s from Bob, Cranky, razorgoto, bregma. 23:14 <BobJonkman> Anyone else? 23:14 <BobJonkman> If not, on to: 23:14 <BobJonkman> #topic Events 23:15 <BobJonkman> I looked at UDS briefly, but didn't stay around much 23:16 <BobJonkman> Svetlana is reporting on leadership 23:17 <BobJonkman> bregma is telling us about the new release, specifically high resolution problems. 23:17 <BobJonkman> When was high resolution ever a problem? 23:18 <BobJonkman> Ubuntu 14.04 beta is available now. 23:18 <BobJonkman> bregma says there's a rolling release for development versions. 23:18 <BobJonkman> Once it's released it's fixed until the next release 23:18 <Cranky_> the link for the Google Plus page is https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116845700584173888571/ 23:18 <BobJonkman> 14.04 is an LTS, long term support 23:18 <BobJonkman> Good for five years 23:19 <BobJonkman> Best thing in the new Unity is the placement of menus, now available in the application window instead of just at the top of the screen 23:19 <belkinsa> Woot, for the lock screen. 23:19 <BobJonkman> Lots of other eye candy too 23:21 <belkinsa> And the volume limit, you can go past that limit without going tio the settings 23:21 <BobJonkman> 0px borders on Unity, but a "magic range" used for grabbing windows for resizing. 23:22 <Cranky_> there is a video out for the 14.04 beta: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/ubuntu-1404-trusty-tahr-final-beta.html 23:23 <BobJonkman> http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/3521841/in/album/487639/detailed 23:23 <belkinsa> You can allow Ubuntu to allow you to have the volumes past 100% w/o going into the sound settings. 23:25 <Cranky_> brb.. puppy needs out! 23:26 <BobJonkman> Upcoming: Ubuntu Global Jams 23:26 <BobJonkman> Maybe get chaslinux (Charles McColm) to host one in Kitchener 23:27 <BobJonkman> Sammy razorgoto reports that FreeGeek Toronto is in a new location, Sammy will check if they can host a UGJ 23:28 <belkinsa> You guys are verified right? 23:30 <BobJonkman> Release Parties: So far, only Toronto has one planned, we're planning one in Kitchener, but no venue or date yet. 23:31 <BobJonkman> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek 23:31 <belkinsa> For Ohio Team, nothing planned. We are very scattered and many members are inactive. 23:31 <BobJonkman> Any other events? 23:33 <BobJonkman> #topic Other Stuff 23:35 <BobJonkman> razorgoto was volunteered to manage a Facebook page for Ubuntu Canada 23:35 <belkinsa> You sort of do. 23:36 <razorgoto> there is a ubuntu canada group on facebook. 23:36 <BobJonkman> Also, we could use a page on Twitter and a Linked In page 23:36 <razorgoto> But groups are being depreciated by facebook 23:36 <razorgoto> they are moving people from "groups" to "pages" 23:37 <BobJonkman> #subtopic: Other other stuff? 23:37 <belkinsa> Not really, though I have a Nexus 7 2013 but waitiong for the image 23:37 <BobJonkman> Ubuntu phone? 23:37 <belkinsa> Waiting* 23:38 <belkinsa> bregma, cool room. ;) 23:38 <BobJonkman> http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/ubuntuca 23:40 <belkinsa> Lost my though there... 23:40 <BobJonkman> LoCo Council could approach Canonical to make resources available for thingks like microblogging 23:41 <belkinsa> (English not my first either) 23:41 <razorgoto> You want to move the meeting to the release date? 23:41 <BobJonkman> #subtopic IRC meeting date? 23:42 <BobJonkman> razorgoto: not moving the release date, but the meeting date 23:42 <razorgoto> OK. 23:43 <razorgoto> Great idea, svetlana, bob. 23:43 <BobJonkman> If we hold the meeting on the party date then there are a lot of distractions. 23:44 <BobJonkman> Easter Weekend for a Release Party is a non-starter for most people 23:44 <belkinsa> I like that last idea too. For the solo folks. ;) 23:44 <BobJonkman> So we'll open a Google Hangout on the date of the party so people can commune online 23:44 <BobJonkman> And we'll have the actual IRC Video Chat a week later 23:45 <BobJonkman> Hi Aruna! 23:45 <Cranky_> Aruna is here! 23:45 <belkinsa> Hey there, Aruna! 23:48 <belkinsa> I'm goof too. 23:48 <belkinsa> Good* 23:48 <belkinsa> Thanks for letting me to be here. 23:49 <Cranky_> please come again belkinsa 23:49 <belkinsa> I shall. 23:49 <belkinsa> This the first time that I had a successful Hangout. 23:49 <BobJonkman> So we'll run an extended video chat from 7pm Atlantic time to 9pm Pacific time, and anyone partying on the 17th can join in 23:49 <razorgoto> Great meeting everyone! 23:50 <razorgoto> thank you for coming svetlana 23:50 <BobJonkman> Thanx everyone for attending! 23:50 <BobJonkman> See you all next month for the party and the meeting. 23:50 <belkinsa> And now I get that e-mail of the invite. 23:50 <BobJonkman> Minutes and video clip will be online shortly. 23:50 <BobJonkman> #endmeeting
