 02:08:55 <nathwill> #meetingtopic Ubuntu Oregon Monthly IRC meeting for May 2012

 02:10:22 <nathwill> ok. looks like no specific agenda items have been added to the wiki. does anyone have anything they want to discuss?

 02:10:26 <nathwill> ref: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OregonTeam/Meetings/CurrentAgenda

 02:12:30 <nathwill> alrighty. :) i'll just mention a couple things going on, most of it's been mentioned on the mailing list before, but in case any one missed it.

 02:12:37 <blkperl> whens the next debian/ubuntu bug party?

 02:12:40 <nathwill> :)

 02:13:06 <nathwill> blkperl, i don't think anyone's started scheduling anything, but i'd definitely be interested.

 02:13:32 <nathwill> now that UDS is over, let's add that to our agenda, eh?

 02:13:54 <nathwill> #subtopic debian/ubuntu bug squashing party

 02:14:35 <blkperl> I can get a room at PSU if we want to have it there

 02:14:44 <nibalizer> yea lets do that

 02:15:00 <nathwill> perfect. i as just going to ask who'd hosted before. i think PSU is a great place to do it.

 02:16:07 <blkperl> nathwill: nibalizer and i can provide virtual machines as well

 02:16:34 <nathwill> blkperl: that sounds awesome. i should be able to do the same if more are needed.

 02:17:07 <nathwill> ok, so slangasek and kees i believe headed things up last time?

 02:17:18 <nathwill> or who steered the last one?

 02:18:18 <nathwill> #link http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1454/detail/

 02:18:24 <nathwill> there's the details for the last BSP we had

 02:19:42 <nathwill> so last time we focused on multiarch, bitesize, packaging bugs.

 02:19:52 <nathwill> and SRU verification.

 02:20:24 <nathwill> i would think that that would still be a great set of things to focus on... y'all agree?

 02:20:52 <blkperl> yep that sounds good

 02:22:09 <nathwill> alright. to make sure we can get the word out and get the biggest possible participation, how does early June sound?

 02:22:44 <nathwill> i'm thinking a Saturday is most likely to be a day that people are free.

 02:22:44 <blkperl> hmm just a second, it needs to be after PSU finals

 02:22:47 <nathwill> ok

 02:22:54 <nathwill> what's that schedule like?

 02:22:55 <nibalizer> prolly best to do june 16 or so

 02:23:11 <blkperl> yes june 16

 02:23:13 <blkperl> or later

 02:23:40 <nathwill> ok. june 16 would be 3rd saturday. so maybe 16th, maybe 23rd.

 02:24:09 <blkperl> that sounds good

 02:24:12 <nathwill> let's do a followup on that on the mailing list so we can get broader input on availability.

 02:24:17 <nathwill> eh?

 02:24:35 <blkperl> yep

 02:25:09 <nathwill> great. that sounds like a good plan.

 02:25:28 <nathwill> anything else that we should address immediately on the topic of the next BSP?

 02:25:54 <nathwill> blkperl, i'm assuming it's relatively straightforward to get a room?

 02:26:38 <nibalizer> nathwill: yes

 02:26:48 <blkperl> nathwill: yep, we just need to know how many so we can get the correct room

 02:27:11 <blkperl> or a rough estimate :)

 02:27:21 <blkperl> which if people rsvp that will be fine

 02:27:37 <blkperl> also we have a room bigger than the puppetlabs area so we should be fine

 02:27:49 <nathwill> ok. thanks nibalizer.

 02:27:49 <nathwill> ok. sounds like we've got that dealt with as much as we can for the moment. you guys want to send the email asking for input on the preferred date, or should i?

 02:27:58 <nibalizer> we can provide wireless access, power, that stuff, food is allowed int he room but PSU won't pay for it

 02:28:10 <nathwill> yeah, i'll create the event on loco.ubuntu.com as soon as we get a date nailed, then people can start RSVP'ing.

 02:28:11 <nibalizer> nathwill: you should, i'm not even on the mailing list

 02:28:37 <nathwill> i'm thinking we'll collect input until Friday, if i send the mail tonite.

 02:28:50 <nathwill> ok. /msg nibalizer tsk tsk ;)

 02:28:55 <nathwill> lol

 02:29:33 <nathwill> anything else for BSP we need to figure out that isn't date dependent?

 02:31:42 <nibalizer> i've never done it before, so idunno

 02:32:50 <nathwill> ok. i can't think of anything, so let's call that covered for now.

 02:33:09 <nathwill> and we can follow up on the mailing list or in IRC throughout the week if anything else comes up.

 02:33:24 <nathwill> alright, next topic...

 02:34:01 <nathwill> #topic launchpad membership

 02:35:04 <nathwill> just a quick reminder in case you didn't get the mail... tracking membership on the wiki was really unwieldy, and loco council takes the membership in the loco-group to be more valid... so we've axed the membership list from the wiki

 02:35:29 <nathwill> if you haven't yet, please join the ~ubuntu-us-or group on launchpad

 02:36:06 <nathwill> #link https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-or

 02:36:35 <blkperl> done

 02:36:41 <nathwill> if you have any questions, feel free to message me or ben.

 02:36:44 <nathwill> thanks blkperl :)

 02:38:20 <nathwill> we're doing pretty well this year, just so y'all know in case you haven't seen it. we're currently 41 members strong, up 33% since december.

 02:39:32 <nathwill> so thank you all. it's been a super exciting year to be involved, and people are starting to realize that Ubuntu Oregon is a great team in the Ubuntu Community. let's keep the momentum going

 02:40:23 <nathwill> any questions on membership before we move to the next topic?

 02:41:27 <nathwill> as a related note, bkerensa has expressed interest in helping anyone interested in pursuing Ubuntu Membership. I'm looking at the list of things and will probably be applying sometime in the next few months.

 02:41:44 <nathwill> if you're interested, feel free to send Ben a mail for tips.

 02:42:53 <blkperl> what does Ubuntu Membership entail?

 02:43:36 <nathwill> Ubuntu Membership is effectively a recognition of ongoing contribution to the community.

 02:44:22 <nathwill> there's a lot of criteria they consider to be contribution, not strictly bugs/code/docs, etc... if you're active in the support community, these types of things make a difference too

 02:45:28 <nathwill> as far as benefits, Ubuntu Members can vote in the selection of Community Council's board, you get an @ubuntu.com email, and other misc perks

 02:45:30 <nathwill> (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership)

 02:46:19 <blkperl> interesting

 02:47:35 <nathwill> yeah. i'm generally pretty skeptical of "belonging" to an organization, but from what i can tell, this is a genuinely mutually beneficial way to get more involved with the community

 02:48:21 <nathwill> alrighty... any other questions on launchpad/ubuntu membership?

 02:50:27 <nathwill> alright...

 02:50:33 <nathwill> 2 more quick things...

 02:50:43 <nathwill> #topic Ubuntu Hours

 02:51:16 <nathwill> so i went and hung out at Ava Roasteria in Beaverton last week

 02:51:25 <nathwill> and nobody showed. :(

 02:51:51 <nathwill> is Beaverton not convenient? I'm willing to move downtown if anyone is interested and has a location suggestion.

 02:58:30 <nathwill> ugh.

 02:58:36 <nathwill> silly wifi.

 02:58:46 <nibalizer> nathwill: persistent connection?

 02:58:54 <nathwill> yeaaah...

 02:59:14 <nathwill> i reorganized the hardware in our office, and i think i picked the wrong corner for the router.

 02:59:29 <nibalizer> :(

 03:00:13 <nathwill> lol. it gets better too... stupid wifi signal booster can't get a gps signal, so i need to go snag a 20 ft ethernet cable so i can move the booster closer to the window

 03:00:51 <nathwill> anyways... after the intro talk, i'd like to get some volunteers to do technology demos on anything they're interested in showing off

 03:01:20 <nathwill> whether that be puppet, lxc, whatever.

 03:01:36 <nathwill> even a standard LAMP session would be great.

 03:01:40 <nibalizer> nathwill: when is this?

 03:01:56 <nathwill> nibalizer. i want to have the overview this month, probably the last weekend.

 03:02:56 <nathwill> after that, maybe bi-weekly, or once monthly...

 03:06:42 <nibalizer> hrm, i migt be able to make it, end of may/early june is finals and starting a new job so i can't promise you anything

 03:07:37 <nathwill> ok.

 03:07:56 <nathwill> well, i'll send an announcement as soon as we get it nailed down.

 03:08:05 <nathwill> any other questions about any topic at all?

 03:08:13 <nibalizer> no from me :)

 03:08:46 <nathwill> ok then!

 03:08:52 <nathwill> #endmeeting
