We have a new volunteer from PLUG, but we also need a Ubuntu-US-AZ volunteer for the Installfest. The volunteer needs to make sure someone from the LoCo is there every month ( exceptions allowed for special events like this weekend's Installfest as long as the PLUG side is still there ) 21:38 < xHans> I will email that to johnc4510. Any volunteers to follow-up with him to make sure we get something worked out? 21:38 < matthewmpp> I am planning on attending more of the install fests. 21:39 < xHans> matthewmpp: you want to be the volunteer rep for the LoCo? 21:39 < matthewmpp> okay. 21:39 < xHans> doesn't require you to be there, but that is the easy way to make sure the LoCo has someone there :) 21:39 < xHans> danke 21:39 < xHans> PLUG devel is this Thursday at UAT. Topic: An Introduction to Trac 21:39 < matthewmpp> I would still like to get a set of Ubuntu disks. 21:39 < xHans> most Stammtische and PLUG meetings start at 19:00, but the devel mtg starts at 19:30. We want to be prepared for people at least a half-hour before the meeting, but since the sponsor ( also this month's presenter ) is coming in from out of town, he might not be quite so early 21:40 < xHans> matthewmpp: I'm certain we can make that happen, please also remind me to add you to the Installfest mail alias 21:40 < xHans> slofgren: if you have time and interest, he's coming down from Prescott 21:41 -!- Siph0n [n=Siph0n@ip98-167-157-88.ph.ph.cox.net] has quit ["Leaving"] 21:41 < xHans> speaking of Prescott gaining, Prescott Stammtisch a week from Tuesday. www.LUGY.net 21:41 < xHans> matthewmpp: did I forget anything? 21:42 < matthewmpp> looking... 21:43 < xHans> oh, I did, TEDx 21:43 < tyche> Who is TED and why should we pay any attention to him? 21:43 < xHans> www.TEDxPhoenix.com, it's looking for suggestions of what presentations to seek 21:44 < matthewmpp> BlenderCAD international online meeting is the 3rd Saturday of the Month, Noon MST, on #cad. 21:44 < xHans> tyche: Ted Gould is great, he's on the Ubuntu desktop team ( OK, that part isn't great because he's at least partially behind the evil update security bug ) and he's a Cononical employee 21:45 < xHans> but, he's not the Ted in TED :) 21:45 < xHans> matthewmpp: yeah, that's a couple of weeks away, so I left it off for now :) 21:45 < tyche> Then you still haven't answered my question. 21:45 < matthewmpp> np 21:46 < xHans> tyche: I did, but not with related content :) 21:46 < matthewmpp> tyche: http://www.tedxphoenix.com/ 21:46 < xHans> www.TED.com, it's from Technology, Entertainment, Design 21:46 < tyche> I saw that before. It still didn't explain anything 21:47 < xHans> it's essentially a conference series bringing talks from interesting people doing interesting things 21:48 < xHans> it's a great way to spend lots of time watching interesting presentations on youtube :) 21:48 < tyche> AH! and entertaining, too? Then you should have slofgren tell how HE had a baby. Hee hee 21:48 < xHans> tyche: there's a good idea 21:49 < xHans> "TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design." 21:49 < tyche> And by now he should have some high Technology Designs on me. So he's got it ALL covered. 21:50 < xHans> "The TED community is based on an open and respectful exchange of ideas." 21:52 < matthewmpp> xHans: the openoffice.org class at mcc starts tomorrow. 21:53 < xHans> matthewmpp: yeah, thanks, forgot that 21:53 < xHans> the database shows a few seats still available 21:53 < xHans> http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/BPC110.html 21:54 < xHans> it's an online OpenOffice.org class 21:54 < xHans> there is no regular meeting time, but there are weekly assignments 21:54 < xHans> Students will be learning OpenOffice.org applications with practical, hands-on exercises and assignments. There will be an emphasis on word processing, spreadsheets, databases and presentation software. Each topic will be covered for about 3 weeks. 21:55 < xHans> As matthewmpp pointed out, it starts tomorrow 21:55 < xHans> since there is no fixed class times I would think you can start anytime this week as long as you have time to do the first week's assignment 21:57 < matthewmpp> Is everybody ready to call it a week? 21:58 * matthewmpp thanks xHans for running both of tonight's meetings for us. 21:58 < matthewmpp> ttyl 21:58 -!- matthewmpp [n=chatzill@wsip-98-172-82-189.ph.ph.cox.net] has quit ["ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.0.13/2009080315]"] 21:59 < xHans> well, didn't run this one, but I did usurp some of it :) 22:00 < slofgren> all hail xHans 22:00 < azmike> hail xHans 22:00 * xHans waits for ice from the sky 22:01 < xHans> or meatballs 22:05 < tyche> Time for bed.
