Just been IRC partying 01:43 <wxl> well ok 01:44 <bkerensa> Right so usually in the past I would organize one... fund a venue and some sponsors for food and other things 01:44 <wxl> if you have any folks interested in linux or ubuntu, you could make a little impromtu party sgclark. evagelize! 01:44 <bkerensa> since I do not have the time for that anymore the best I can offer is that if anyone wants to handle the organizing and finding sponsors... I can ask Mozilla or Freegeek to host us 01:44 <wxl> bkerensa: was this something you had ubuntu covering or you id on your own? 01:45 <bkerensa> mostly sponsors but some was out of pocket 01:45 <bkerensa> Ubuntu did not have community funding at the time 01:45 <bkerensa> still yet I hear the process takes many weeks 01:45 <sgclark> it does, but possible 01:45 <wxl> yiiiikes 01:45 <wxl> well i can at least look into it 01:46 <wxl> i don't have much in the way to offer out of pocket wise :( 01:46 <wxl> maybe we could put a fund together. i can certainly help 01:47 <wxl> #action wxl will look into ubuntu funding for release party 01:47 * meetingology wxl will look into ubuntu funding for release party 01:47 <wxl> huh you'll listen to that? 01:47 <wxl> weird bot 01:47 <wxl> ok well i have one other thing to discuss 01:48 <wxl> then we'll move on to any other ideas anyone has 01:48 <wxl> and then we can just ramble XD 01:48 <wxl> #topic Approval 01:48 <wxl> #meetingtopic Approval 01:48 <wxl> oh well 01:48 <wxl> anyways i'm surprised to find our loco isn't officially approved 01:48 <wxl> it does have some benefits 01:48 <wxl> basically all we have to do is keep on doing our thing 01:49 <shirgall> The /topic says there's no IRC meeting. It's lying. 01:49 <wxl> if we can get this done, ubuntu will cover hosting which wouldbe nice 01:49 <wxl> shirgall: yeah i thought meetingology was supposed to take care of that but it's being a poopy bot. 01:49 <sgclark> lol 01:49 <shirgall> meetingology: are you alive? 01:49 <meetingology> shirgall: Error: "are" is not a valid command. 01:50 <wxl> so first here's some info on the team verification/approval guidelines https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines 01:50 <wxl> so the one thing we need to do if you read the criteria is really is to do some stuff 01:51 <wxl> i think the salem ubuntu hour is a big help in that regard 01:51 * sgclark is willing to donate time for this 01:51 <wxl> a release party would help 01:52 <sgclark> I have no friends to throw parties heh, but I can help with alot of that other stuff 01:52 <wxl> if anyone anywhere on the team can do something that either promotes ubuntu or helps contribute to ubuntu (bug jam for example), that would make a difference 01:52 <wxl> sgclark: well you could check out the local lug or even something like the library 01:52 <wxl> i had a thought about doing a talk at my daughter's school :) 01:52 <sgclark> did I mention I was shy? :) 01:53 <wxl> well that doesn't help XD 01:53 <sgclark> lol 01:53 <wxl> we can figure that out, though 01:53 <wxl> the reason i bring up this topic is so that we can keep our collective eyes open for opportunities 01:53 <sgclark> I am heavily involved in Kubuntu development though 01:53 <wxl> so you could wrangle some of the local kubuntu folks maybe 01:53 <sgclark> so my name is scattered about ubuntu 01:54 <wxl> obviously these are physical events local to oregon 01:54 <sgclark> well I work with a bunch of folks across the pond, I really don't know anyone here sorry :( 01:54 <wxl> right well there ya go XD 01:55 <wxl> i think once we get into a "groove" of doing things, it'll come naturally 01:55 <wxl> i don't think this should necessarily be difficult 01:55 <wxl> well, that's all i got 01:55 <wxl> any other topics, interesting events, etc? 01:56 <wxl> btw if you didn't noticed, i posted on a talk mozilla lars is having in eug next month 01:56 <wxl> seems like i twill be interesting 01:56 <sgclark> Well, LinuxFestNW might be a venue to go to to get ourselves to meet and find others, but it isnt until April I think, but an idea 01:56 <wxl> yes and a great idea 01:57 <wxl> i have any plan of making that happen 01:57 <wxl> i met one of the guys at oscon and have his card stashed somewhere 01:57 <sgclark> same 01:57 <wxl> i should get on that 01:57 <sgclark> :) 01:57 <wxl> #agenda wxl will get us into LinuxFestNW! 01:57 <wxl> oh wrong command 01:57 <wxl> #action wxl will get us into LinuxFestNW! 01:57 * meetingology wxl will get us into LinuxFestNW! 01:58 <bkerensa> wxl will grab Ubuntu banner and cloth from me too! 01:58 <bkerensa> :) 01:58 <wxl> ooh 01:58 <wxl> #action wxl will coerce bkerensa to give up the Ubuntu banner and cloth 01:58 * meetingology wxl will coerce bkerensa to give up the Ubuntu banner and cloth 01:59 <sgclark> lol 01:59 <sgclark> I know KDE and Kubuntu will want presence there, so I will conjure up some garb from them too 01:59 <wxl> excellent 02:00 <wxl> the guy said something about not having a lot of space he might have us share a booth with some other lug/loco 02:01 <wxl> now we just need stickers 02:02 <wxl> we could do a ubuntu logo inside the green heart on the white oregon state sticker :) 02:02 <sgclark> sounds good to me 02:03 <sgclark> do we have all that other stuff, wiki, launchpad forum? 02:03 <wxl> yeah 02:03 <wxl> just no website currently 02:03 <wxl> the forums are kind of dead 02:03 <wxl> which is fine by me, i hate forums XD 02:04 <QIII> me too 02:04 <sgclark> On the global activities.. we all have to attend these together? 02:04 <wxl> sgclark: no, not at all. it's a team effort 02:04 <sgclark> ok 02:04 <wxl> think of it like you do development 02:04 <wxl> your whole team doesn't work on every bug 02:04 <sgclark> gotcha 02:04 <sgclark> right 02:04 <wxl> nor does every member work every cycle 02:05 <sgclark> wonder if my akademy trip counts. ubuntu paid for it 02:05 <wxl> we also might want to just do something like this, spreading the word of ubuntu http://benjaminkerensa.com/2012/09/16/ubuntu-in-oregon 02:05 <wxl> wuzzat? 02:05 <sgclark> I will also write a blog post 02:06 <wxl> akademy is in eu right?? 02:06 <sgclark> akademy is KDE's developer convetion, hackfest, bug jam all in one 02:06 <sgclark> yeah 02:06 <wxl> yeah probably not the same. everything's under the banner of work in oregon 02:06 <wxl> that's my understanding of it at least 02:06 <sgclark> ok 02:07 <sgclark> there were ubuntu folks there :) 02:07 <sgclark> but ok 02:07 <wxl> i'm sure there were :) 02:07 <wxl> heck, i would have gone and i'm really a lubuntu guy :) 02:08 <sgclark> hehe, it was a great experience 02:08 <wxl> actually come to think of it, putting brochures like in that aforementioned link, in public places around the state is a great idea 02:09 <wxl> you still have a copy of that brochure bkerensa ? 02:09 <sgclark> A good start is the LFNW and release parties. 02:10 <wxl> i think i might make these meetings 30 mins long inn the fuure 02:10 <wxl> until we have lots to talk about :) 02:11 <wxl> #action wxl will harass bkerensa for copies of his old brochure! 02:11 * meetingology wxl will harass bkerensa for copies of his old brochure! 02:11 <wxl> #action wxl will trim down future meetings to 30 minute length 02:11 * meetingology wxl will trim down future meetings to 30 minute length 02:12 <wxl> i'm going to end the meeting early "officially" 02:12 <wxl> #endmeeting
