   3 [03:00] <pleia2> Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11March27
   4 [03:01] <philipballew> quite the big agenda!
   5 [03:01] <pleia2> TOPIC: Ubuntu Global Jam Parties
   6 [03:01] <pleia2> so the Global Jam is next weekend, Apr 1-3
   7 [03:01] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam
   8 [03:02] <pleia2> our wiki page for it is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/NattyGlobalJam
   9 [03:02] <pleia2> as you can see we have 2 events planned, one in Walnut Creek on Friday and another in Berkeley on Sunday
  10 [03:02] <pleia2> more are welcome :)
  11 [03:02] <DarkwingDuck> These on the loco directory yet?
  12 [03:02] <dragon> o/
  13 [03:03] <pleia2> yes, the links are on the wiki
  14 [03:03] <DarkwingDuck> are they all inclusive or, are they topical jams?
  15 [03:04]  * eps giggles
  16 [03:04] <pleia2> the one in Walnut Creek is all inclusive, jono's email about it is here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2011-March/001640.html
  17 [03:04] <dragon> o.O
  18 [03:04] <DarkwingDuck> Roger
  19 [03:04] <dragon> We have a meeting, right?
  20 [03:04] <pleia2> for the Berkeley one I put on the wiki: Focus: Testing and Bugs
  21 [03:04] <DarkwingDuck> We are in the meeting now dragon
  22 [03:05] <pleia2> dragon: this is the meeting :)
  23 [03:05] <aaditya> Oh, no wonder.
  24 [03:05] <iheartubuntu> :)
  25 [03:05] <aaditya> I see no messages on my pidgin.
  26 [03:05] <DarkwingDuck> ?
  27 [03:05] <pleia2> but even at the Berkeley one we can do other stuff too
  28 [03:06] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: were you going to do a virtual doc jam?
  29 [03:06] <DarkwingDuck> I'm still thinking about setting one up online but, it all depends how much crunch work I have.
  30 [03:06]  * pleia2 nods
  31 [03:07] <DarkwingDuck> But yes. I'll post date and time on the ML
  32 [03:07] <pleia2> cool, thanks :)
  33 [03:07] <DarkwingDuck> One of my doc gurus got his lappy stolen
  34 [03:07] <DarkwingDuck> So crunch time +1
  35 [03:08] <pleia2> oh, and I mailed the list about it this morning, but in case you're interested in running one but are not sure how, there is an event in #ubuntu-classroom tomorrow geared toward getting everyone ready: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJamBootcamp
  36 [03:08] <pleia2> yeah, poor nixternal :(
  37 [03:08] <DarkwingDuck> Yeah... I called him last night... still no luch
  38 [03:08] <DarkwingDuck> *luck
  39 [03:09] <pleia2> ok, any thing else about the Jams?
  40 [03:09] <DarkwingDuck> Lets get good quality work out there...
  41 [03:10] <DarkwingDuck> These Jams help us Devs more then people know.
  42 [03:10] <DarkwingDuck> ESP Unity
  43 [03:10] <DarkwingDuck> Unity needs some major TLC
  44 [03:10]  * DarkwingDuck gets off his soapbox
  45 [03:10] <pleia2> :)
  46 [03:12] <pleia2> TOPIC: Announcements, other things
  47 [03:12] <pleia2> anyone have any bright ideas? comments? rants?
  48 [03:12] <DarkwingDuck> Unity needs testors and bug reporting
  49 [03:12] <DarkwingDuck> :P
  50 [03:13] <philipballew> whats the best way to do that?
  51 [03:13] <philipballew> do i need to actually install 11.04 or can i report bugs from my vbox machine just fine?
  52 [03:13] <DarkwingDuck> Download and install a daily live CD http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
  53 [03:13] <pleia2> only if vbox supports accelerated graphics for your card
  54 [03:14] <DarkwingDuck> vbox will not give you the Unity 3D
  55 [03:14] <philipballew> hum. i can partition this week then
  56 [03:14] <pleia2> there is an experimental thing to enable 3d in vbox, but it hardly works for anyone :\
  57 [03:15] <pleia2> this is one of the many reasons they need more testers, it's harder to do testing because you pretty much have to do it on actual hardware
  58 [03:15] <DarkwingDuck> Here are the list of bugs
  59 [03:15] <DarkwingDuck> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity
  60 [03:15] <eps> DarkwingDuck: I was expecting we'd be working from Beta 1
  61 [03:15] <pleia2> the beta 1 or the daily build
  62 [03:15] <pleia2> (beta1 comes out on the 31st)
  63 [03:16] <DarkwingDuck> Here are the list of new bugs. https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New
  64 [03:16] <DarkwingDuck> Replicate and confirm the bugs is a good start.
  65 [03:16] <philipballew> gotta build that karma somehow
  66 [03:17] <DarkwingDuck> This is a simple way to help with Unity
  67 [03:19]  * eps would really like to see how viable Natty is on machines with older, less-capable video hardware
  68 [03:19] <philipballew> unity is gonna be interesting. should see what happens
  69 [03:19] <DarkwingDuck> :)
  70 [03:19] <pleia2> ok, anything else?
  71 [03:20] <pleia2> eps: if Unity doesn't work for some reason it falls back to regular gnome (it did this flawlessly on my VM), so I wouldn't worry too much
  72 [03:21] <pleia2> alright, I think we can wrap this up then :)
  73 [03:21] <pleia2> thanks everyone
