20:29 <tsimonq2> #topic Eickmeyer
20:29 <tsimonq2> hi
20:29 <Eickmeyer> o/
20:29 <tsimonq2> Please introduce yourself
20:30 <Eickmeyer> My name is Erich Eickmeyer, I am currently the Council Chair for Ubuntu Studio, and have been contributing since March/April.
20:30 <Eickmeyer> I've been working on revitalizing the flavor, and have been the driving force behind some of the innovations in Ubuntu Studio apparent in 18.10.
20:31 <wxl> it's ONLY been that long????
20:31 <tsimonq2> I was gonna say
20:32 <bashfulrobot> A lot done for the time frame.
20:32 <tsimonq2> Any questions for Eickmeyer?
20:32 <Eickmeyer> I've been an administrator for the Ubuntu Studio Facebook and Twitter accounts as well.
20:32 <Eickmeyer> I've been doing all webpage posts on ubuntustudio.org since April.
20:32 <tsimonq2> bashfulrobot: +1
20:32 <wxl> random question with no bearing on your membership: what's the future for studio?
20:33 <bashfulrobot> Eickmeyer: How do you see yourself moving forward within the Ubuntu ecosystem? Plans? ideas? (high level)
20:33 <Eickmeyer> Right now, we're focusing on bringing Wacom tablet configuration to ubuntustudio-controls, and making ubuntustudio-installer a utility that anybody can install from any flavor to gain all of the benefits of Ubuntu Studio.
20:33 <Eickmeyer> That way, they can use thier desktop environment of choice.
20:34 <wxl> OOOOH
20:34 <nzoueidi> Eickmeyer, any loco teams around? I am wondering why you are not involved into?
20:34 <Eickmeyer> bashfulrobot: I see myself continuing the lead for Ubuntu Studio and brining it back into the spotlight of being the multimedia distro of choice.
20:34 <Eickmeyer> nzoueidi: Currently, the loco teams in my area are inactive, afaik.
20:35 <Eickmeyer> valorie would know more about that than I, however.
20:35 <tsimonq2> Eickmeyer: If you had to suggest one improvement for Ubuntu as a whole, what would it be?
20:35 <wxl> i can confirm they are, afaik, too
20:35 <wxl> there's been some talk of bringing ubuntu pnw back but i need to revisit that topic again, so blame me
20:35 <tsimonq2> DO IT :D
20:37 <bashfulrobot> Eickmeyer: What do you see as on of the hardest things when getting involved in Ubuntu?
20:37 <Eickmeyer> tsimonq2: Tough one. I'm not sure I have a concise answer to that, but I think figuring out a way to get packages from Debian updated easier would be nice, but I really don't know.
20:37 <tsimonq2> Cool.
20:37 <bashfulrobot> Eickmeyer: What do you see as *one* of the hardest things when getting involved in Ubuntu?
20:37 <tsimonq2> I'm ready to vote as soon as bashfulrobot's question is answered.
20:38 <bashfulrobot> tsimonq2: works for me.
20:38 <nzoueidi> me too, I need another mug of coffee
20:39 <wxl> ditto
20:39 <nzoueidi> I am looking into the bugs in your LP account, keep it up
20:39 <Eickmeyer> bashfulrobot: Probably one of the hardest things is finding a place where one's skills are best used. I have a degree in leadership, so I found a leadership opportunity with Studio once I saw the need. However, leadership spots seem hard to come by, which makes sense.
20:39 <Eickmeyer> Honestly, it ended my days of distrohopping.
20:39 <bashfulrobot> :-)
20:40 <bashfulrobot> for now. Wait until your installer is out.
20:40 <Eickmeyer> Hehe
