Katherine sigint KombuchaKip wylde sipherdee cyphermox jaguar- DarwinSurvivor zul txwikinger mars jlamothe laurelrusswurm FiReSTaRT cjop ryanakca bregma dscassel johanbr 23:02 It's time for the monthly IRC meeting. 23:02 Hey all. Kip from the Avaneya project, a cerebral science fiction game for Ubuntu. (White Rock, BC, Canada). 23:02 There's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013/2013-09-26 23:03 Hi KombuchaKip! 23:03 * KombuchaKip waves BobJonkman1 23:03 #subtopic Introductions 23:04 Let's follow KombuchaKip's example. Who are you, where are you from, what's your involvement with Ubuntu? 23:04 I'm Bob Jonkman from Elmira, Ontario (just north of Waterloo). I'm a sysadmin and Ubuntu enthusiast 23:06 Slow night :) 23:06 Must be the good weather on the last nice day of the year 23:08 Well, racing on to the next topic then... 23:08 #topic Events 23:08 Did anyone attend sessions at the Ubuntu Developer Summit? 23:09 http://uds.ubuntu.com/ 23:10 It's too bad that most sessions are now on Google Hangouts, and not using Free Software for online collaboration. 23:10 Since I don't have the Google Hangout plugins installed on my computer I didn't see any of the sessions 23:13 #link Recorded videos are on the Ubuntu Community Channel at http://ubuntu.mirocommunity.org/ 23:14 But I don't see any of the UDS videos featured on that page. 23:15 #subtopic Ubuntu Global Jam 23:15 So, who jammed? 23:15 We had a pretty good turnout at the Kitchener Global Jam 23:16 #link Pictures are at http://pix.ie/ubuntuca/album/475387/detailed 23:17 I was sorry to have to miss it. 23:17 Katherine: We missed you! 23:18 Maybe next time... I hope. 23:18 There will be other jams, usually about a month for a release 23:18 I filed a few bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~bjonkman 23:18 I know others did too 23:19 But largely it was a good day for meeting like-minded Ubuntu folks 23:19 People came to Kitchener from Mississauga and Toronto! 23:22 Many thanx to Charles McColm @chaslinux for organizing the Kitchener Global Jam event 23:22 @chaslinux tweeted about UGJ : https://twitter.com/chaslinux/status/378910396020953088 23:22 BobJonkman1: Error: "chaslinux" is not a valid command. 23:24 #subtopic Software Freedom Day 23:24 How about SFD last Saturday? Did anyone go to one of the events in Canada? 23:25 http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/ 23:26 There's an upcoming Software Freedom Day celebration in Kitchener at Kwartzlab this coming Saturday (T-minus two days and counting!) 23:26 http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab 23:29 I'm giving the first talk on ownCloud, doing a live demonstration. 23:30 what time does your talk start? 23:32 I'm presenting at 11:00am 23:33 I'll probably do a brief introduction of Free Software, since we don't have a "What Is Free Software" presentation this year 23:33 I hope to cover installation, updating, and a brief tour of the major features 23:33 I was on the #owncloud channel to ask a questions, and spoke to one of the developers 23:34 Turns out he's from Waterloo too, and he'll be coming down to help me present 23:34 He writes the News addon, so he'll demonstrate that in the last 15-20 minutes or so 23:35 ...that's Alessandro Cosentino, zimba12 in the #owncloud channel 23:38 We're also going to stream Richard Stallman's keynote speech at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts starting at 5:00pm 23:39 So we'll certainly go much later than the 5:00pm end time indicated on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Canada/Kitchener/Kwartzlab#Charles_McColm:_XBMC:_Building_Your_Own_Entertainment_System 23:39 #subtopic Ubuntu Release Parties 23:40 Let's do some Release Party planning! 23:41 Ubuntu 13.10, Saucy Salamander, is scheduled for release on 17 October 23:41 That's T-minus 21 days and counting! 23:42 Who's planning an Ubuntu Release Party? 23:43 dscassel says that Release Parties are a tradition, and there will almost certainly be one in the Kitchener-Waterloo area 23:45 My guess is that it'll be at Kwartzlab, probably on Thursday, 17 October 23:45 (they've got a Hackathon planned for Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 October 23:46 Or maybe Ubuntoids will be invited to the Hackathon, and we'll all party together. 23:47 what are they coding about? 23:50 * BobJonkman1 goes to check the Kwartzlab calendar... 23:51 #link: Kwartzlab Global Synchronous Hackathon: https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=OTk5ZHMzZmxpNWs5NTBvcW82MjljMXJmbDggZXZlbnRzQGt3YXJ0emxhYi5jYQ&ctz=America/Toronto 23:54 Doesn't say much about the topic for the hackathon. 23:55 Hopefully someone will post to the Kwartzlab blog about it 23:55 #topic Other stuff 23:55 We're approaching the end of the IRC meeting (T-minus five minutes and counting) 23:56 Anyone have anything else? 23:56 I should mention the Ubuntu Hour in Guelph tomorrow night... 23:56 * BobJonkman1 mentions the Ubuntu Hour in Guelph tomorrow night 23:56 So that's covered :) 23:57 #link to Ubuntu Hour Guelph: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2545-ubuntu-hour-guelph/ 23:58 The next IRC meeting would be on the fourth Thursday in October, that would be the 24th. 23:59 But the last few meetings it's just been me talking to myself. 23:59 I can do that without scheduling a meeting. 23:59 So is there anyone who really wants to schedule the next one? 00:00 If not, we can leave it until there's a desperate, pent-up demand... 00:01 OK, let me know, either here in the #ubuntu-ca channel, or on the mailing list. 00:01 Is interest really declining or are there just people temporarily away? 00:01 It's been quiet all over, so I think people may just be enjoying the last few days of nice weather 00:02 But there's the possibility that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) have become so mainstream that there is no longer a need for specialized groups. 00:03 The weather is unlikely to be this warm late in October. 00:03 I'll bet there were Telephone User Groups back in Alex Bell's day 00:03 But you don't see TUGs around any more, either 00:03 I dunno, we've had some nice days around Hallowe'en in the past. 00:04 But I also remember trekking door-to-door with my son through the snow 00:04 They could have used party lines for their meetings. 00:04 :) 00:04 If you want a meeting, let me know. 00:05 Or even better, just pop over to the Ubuntu-ca LoCo page and schedule one yourself. 00:06 The Ubuntu Hours in Guelph are new, and have been pretty popular (both of them) :| 00:06 Katherine: If you schedule a meeting or an Ubuntu Hour then I'll come. 00:07 I don't really know enough about what's going on to schedule meetings but I'll try to attend if meetings are scheduled. 00:08 :) OK. It's pretty easy, just go to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca/ and log in with your Launchpad ID, then you can create a new event 00:09 We've been using "Event" to schedule a meeting since the "Meeting" interface is pretty clunky. "Event" does what we want, even for meetings 00:10 So give it a shot. If you schedule the meeting I'll take care of putting up an agenda. We can do the meeting announcements together 00:10 All right, if there's nothing else, I'll #endmeeting 00:11 (we're already at T-plus 10 minutes and counting for the meeting end :) ) 00:12 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
