Say Hi, Cranky 00:12 <BobJonkman1> Who else do we have? 00:13 <BobJonkman1> Say Hi, tell us where you're from and what you dowith Ubuntu 00:13 * BobJonkman1 is looking for an external microphone 00:13 <bregma> Hi!

I didnt do any coding, but took pictures and video. 00:18 <katherineb> Me too. I really enjoyed it. 00:19 <BobJonkman1> You can see the page with links to the media at http://wiki.opendataday.org/Waterloo_Region 00:19 <BobJonkman1> Hi katherineb ! 00:19 <BobJonkman1> Tell us what you worked on 00:20 <katherineb> Hi Bob! I worked on an HTML page with javascript about police call data 00:20 <Cranky_> Anyone who is in the Google+ group who didn't get an invite, raise your hands, please 00:21 <BobJonkman1> Darcy (dscassel) was there too, working on the Food Premise Inspection Data, getting info on New Restaurants so it could generate notifications 00:22 <bregma> I released a new version of Unity 7, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzFXRz-b3Ns&feature=youtu.be 00:22 * bregma is very proud of the video 00:23 <Cranky_> Unity 7 is coming with 14.04? 00:23 <BobJonkman1> bregma: I recently found your Ubuntu blog too! 00:23 <BobJonkman1> Gotta link for us? 00:23 <bregma> uh ih.... 00:23 <bregma> http://bregmatter.wordpress.com/ 00:24 <BobJonkman1> That's the one! Catchy name! 00:24 <bregma> although I think I'm the only one here who uses Unity 00:24 * BobJonkman1 is not a fan of Unity 00:25 <Cranky_> I love it.. 00:25 <BobJonkman1> OK, moving on to more recent stuff 00:25 <BobJonkman1> #subtopic Ongoing events 00:25 <BobJonkman1> We had a pleasant Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener a couple of weeks ago 00:26 <BobJonkman1> And azend_ had one in Guelph last week. 00:26 <BobJonkman1> Aruna (who can't be with us tonight) is planning one for the near future in Toronto 00:27 <BobJonkman1> And I've already scheduled the next Ubuntu Hour KW for Monday, 17 March 00:27 <Cranky_> St. Patrick's Day? 00:28 <BobJonkman1> It's St. Patricks Day, so I joke we're going to Thanh O'Nguyen's Vietnamese restaurant 00:28 <Cranky_> well the Irish pubs will be a bit full 00:28 <Cranky_> as will the Irish 00:28 <BobJonkman1> "Tony" makes a mean Vietnamese Green Curry dish 00:29 <BobJonkman1> #subtopic Upcoming events! 00:29 <BobJonkman1> Lots of stuff on the horizon, what with an upcoming release and all 00:31 <BobJonkman1> Apparently we have sound 00:31 <Cranky_> I can hear Bob 00:32 <Cranky_> if anyone wants a direct invite, send me your email. 00:33 * BobJonkman1 has just recapped the events for the Video chat 00:35 <BobJonkman1> Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS is coming out on 17 April 00:36 <BobJonkman1> genii has a release party in Toronto on the 17th, 00:36 <BobJonkman1> with free cupcakes and coffee 00:36 <BobJonkman1> (but you have to decorate your own cupcake) 00:36 <katherineb> That could be fun! 00:37 <BobJonkman1> Next week is the Ubuntu Developer Week, followed by Ubuntu Developer Summit the week after. 00:37 <BobJonkman1> bregma: Can you shed any insight on those events? 00:38 <bregma> sorry, I've been too tied up in the last couple of weeks to pay attention to those events 00:39 <BobJonkman1> Google+ video page, for refence: https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s 00:39 <bregma> I suspect it will involve a lot of discussions about phones and apps for phones 00:39 <BobJonkman1> What news on phone hardware? 00:41 <bregma> Mark Shuttleworth announces two OEMs (phone manufacturers) will be selling Ubuntu phones, probably by the end of this year 00:42 <BobJonkman1> Ubuntu Global Jam is also coming up. 00:42 <BobJonkman1> Last year we had a great time at Computer Recycling. 00:42 <BobJonkman1> I hope to get Charles McColm chaslinux to host again this year 00:42 <BobJonkman1> Or maybe dscassel can get us Kwartzlab again 00:43 <BobJonkman1> There's an opportunity to fix bugs, install the new release, discover new bugs, write some documentation 00:43 <BobJonkman1> And it's another excuse for an Ubuntu Social Event 00:43 * BobJonkman1 and katherineb are such party animals 00:44 <BobJonkman1> After UGJ I hope to have a release party here in KW as well. 00:44 <BobJonkman1> dscassel promised! 00:45 <cagordon> missed it? 00:45 <Cranky_> I'm thinking of doing another wipe and load when 14.04 comes out, I might bring my laptop with me 00:45 <BobJonkman1> cagordon: Nope, we're still going. 00:45 <BobJonkman1> Join us in the Video Chat at https://plus.google.com/events/cmj49r3pl7fn0sbce1i5bv8513s if you've got the Googles 00:47 <BobJonkman1> I was thinking of holding the April IRC meeting on Release Day 00:47 <BobJonkman1> So we should be able to catch the Toronto gang as they gearing up for their release party 00:48 <BobJonkman1> Although last year it was a bit hectic having an IRC meeting in the middle of a party 00:50 <BobJonkman1> After the release there is something called Ubuntu Open Week 00:51 <BobJonkman1> a series of classroom events 00:51 <BobJonkman1> I think they're being held on Google Hangouts, but there may still be a backchannel on IRC. 00:52 <BobJonkman1> The IRC channel tends to suffer from lack of attention in Ubuntu Open Week. 00:52 <BobJonkman1> I can tell you, it's difficult to focus your attention in two places at once 00:52 <BobJonkman1> #link Ubuntu Open Week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek 00:53 <BobJonkman1> But I don't think it's updated for the new release yet 00:53 <BobJonkman1> Jono Bacon had a blog post about it: http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/12/05/ubuntu-events-coming-up/ 00:56 <BobJonkman1> Anybody on Facebook? 00:56 <BobJonkman1> 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 <BobJonkman1> It might nice to have an Ubuntu Canada Twitter feed too. 00:57 <BobJonkman1> I'll if anything like that exists already. 00:57 <BobJonkman1> Oh, I guess that should have gone into "Other Stuff" 00:57 <BobJonkman1> #topic Other Stuff 00:57 <BobJonkman1> Any other Other Stuff? 00:57 <katherineb> Does Ubuntu Canada have a facebook account? 00:58 <Cranky_> the colour coding on my new headphones is backwards... 00:58 <BobJonkman1> katherineb: I don't know... 00:58 <BobJonkman1> katherineb: Are you on Facebook? 00:58 <Cranky_> https://www.facebook.com/groups/482867065100815/?fref=ts 00:59 <katherineb> No and I don't want to sign up but might consider volunteering if I was just using an organizational account 00:59 <BobJonkman1> katherineb: I think Facebook wants people accounts, not organization accounts 01:00 <BobJonkman1> So once you're in as a person you can set up a page for an organization 01:00 <BobJonkman1> katherineb: If you want to create an account as firstname=Ubuntu lastname=Canada I have no objections 01:01 <Cranky_> I take that back.. this is the correct page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2212705657/?fref=ts 01:01 <katherineb> I guess not then. I don't want to be on facebook myself 01:01 <Cranky_> the first one I listed is mis-using the ubuntu name for who knows what end 01:01 <BobJonkman1> 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 <BobJonkman1> Alrighty then, probably time to wrap it up 01:02 <BobJonkman1> Any last words from anyone? 01:03 <BobJonkman1> Next IRC/Video Chat will be on Thursday, 27 March at the usual time 01:03 <BobJonkman1> I think we'll have the kinks worked out of the video by then 01:04 <BobJonkman1> 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 <BobJonkman1> OK, goodnight everybodeee! 01:04 <katherineb> Good night ! 01:04 <Cranky_> goodnight everybody 01:05 <BobJonkman1> #endmeeting
