[02:03] <pleia2> #startmeeting
[02:03] <pleia2> who all is here?
[02:03] <gua> i'm here!
[02:04] <akk> o/
[02:05] <greg-g> I'm partially here, might go for a walk with the pregnent wife soon-ish
[02:05] <pleia2> :)
[02:05] <pleia2> ok, we don't actually have anything on the agenda
[02:06]  * pleia2 waits for wiki to load
[02:06] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11September11 empty agenda :)
[02:06] <pleia2> but we have had some events lately
[02:06] <pleia2> DWonderly: you about?
[02:07] <pleia2> philipballew wrote a writeup about the san diego jam last weekend: https://philipballew.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/ubuntu-global-jam-san-diego-wrap-up/
[02:07] <greg-g> cool! add it to a team report! :)
[02:08] <pleia2> yep
[02:08] <grantbow> :)
[02:08]  * greg-g didn't do that as they happened for Michigan, and had a big backlog of reports to do with reapproval next week
[02:08] <pleia2> we've done them monthly for the past couple of years
[02:08] <gua> is there a designated time for comments/questions from random people (like me)?
[02:09] <pleia2> and we add posts like this to the project page after the event so making team reports are easy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OneiricGlobalJam
[02:09] <pleia2> gua: since we have no agenda this meeting is pretty free-form, anyone can make comments/questions any time :)
[02:10] <gua> ah alright
[02:10] <pleia2> today up in berkeley we did the solano stroll, just plugged in my camera to get the pictures ;)
[02:10] <pleia2> gave out over 100 CDs, lots of people at the booth all day, lots of fun, too much funnel cake
[02:10] <grantbow> \o/
[02:10] <gua> that sounds good
[02:10] <greg-g> pleia2: how many -us-ca people were there?
[02:11] <rww> o/
[02:11] <rww> (here, not there)
[02:12] <philipballew> is here!
[02:13] <pleia2> greg-g: jyo, jdeslip at least, the rest were mostly berkeleylug
[02:14] <greg-g> cool!
[02:14] <grantbow> did Ian make it?
[02:14] <pleia2> yep :)
[02:14] <pleia2> we're going to play 3ds at the next berkeleylug
[02:15] <pleia2> hehe
[02:15] <grantbow> cool
[02:15] <pleia2> anyone have announcements, comments, questions, other things?
[02:15] <pleia2> san francisco ubuntu hour on wednesday evening: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1209/detail/
[02:16] <greg-g> dang, I'll be out of town
[02:16] <grantbow> a week from Thurs I am hosting a Global Jam in Kenya to jump start the wiki.ubuntu.com/KenyanTeam - virtual support would be most appreciated. Details to follow.
[02:16] <grantbow> err, not Global Jam, Ubuntu Hour
[02:16] <grantbow> one step at a time
[02:16] <gua> Is anyone taking part in the Stanford ai-class, ml-class or db-class and has heard of Bay Area meetup plans for study groups or would be interested in attending study groups?
[02:17] <akk> I'd be interested in a study group for ai or ml ... haven't heard of any plans for one.
[02:17] <greg-g> grantbow: nice.
[02:17] <makushimu> I had applied for that online AI class, really looking forward it.
[02:18] <grantbow> online? excellent
[02:18] <akk> grantbow: online and free, offered by stanford. ai-class.com
[02:18] <gua> I've heard second-hand stuff about a study group at Hacker Dojo, but if there's demand i'd prefer to have one a bit closer to the East Bay (where I am). I was thinking the places where the DV LUG people meet might be good, or Noisebridge in SF could also work.
[02:18] <akk> tens of thousands of students taking it worldwide :)
[02:19] <pleia2> my boss wants me to take the db class, but I can't imagine when I'd have time :\
[02:19] <akk> I'm closer to Hacker Dojo than either of those places, myself.
[02:19] <gua> grantbow: http://www.ai-class.com/    http://www.ml-class.com/    http://www.db-class.com/
[02:20] <grantbow> gua: dvlug.org and noisebridge.net are both weekly, sounds good
[02:20] <gua> makushimu: Would you be interested in attending a study group?
[02:20] <makushimu> Oh, I didn't know about db and ml classes, thank you for sharing!
[02:20] <locodir-user> IS THERE A LIST OF UBUNTU USERS
[02:20] <gua> grantbow: Is there somethng weekly related to AI at Noisebridge?
[02:20] <grantbow> locodir-user: no
[02:20] <locodir-user> IN CALIFORNIA
[02:20] <pleia2> locodir-user: please turn off your caps lock :)
[02:21] <makushimu> gua: I would love to try
[02:21] <grantbow> gua: not sure about AI
[02:21] <locodir-user> ok thank youy
[02:21] <grantbow> gua: at noisebridge
[02:21] <akk> A list of all Ubuntu users in California would be a very very long list. :)
[02:21] <gua> grantbow: Ah, well related to any of the classes really then?
[02:21] <pleia2> I'd say the wednesday linux night class at noisebridge from 6-8 would be happy to have the study group people join them
[02:21] <pleia2> everyone pretty much does their own thing there anyway
[02:21] <gua> makushimu: alright. fyi there are subreddits for each class too. http://www.reddit.com/r/aiclass    http://www.reddit.com/r/mlclass    http://www.reddit.com/r/dbclass
[02:22] <pleia2> s/class/thing
[02:22] <pleia2> :)
[02:22] <grantbow> pleia2: +1
[02:22] <makushimu> gua: Most excellent, thank you!
[02:22] <gua> I was thinking of attending a few local meeting things like DV LUG and bringing up the study group topic.
[02:22] <locodir-user> i see
[02:22] <gua> pleia2: that's a good idea to bring it up then
[02:22] <pleia2> yeah :)
[02:22] <locodir-user> well im very new to this ubuntu  its alot of work
[02:23] <pleia2> ok, anything else?
[02:24] <gua> Any ideas for groups besides DV LUG and the various Noisebridge groups that might be interested in those classes?
[02:24] <pleia2> my solano stroll pictures are now up (I'll add the good ones to the california flickr too): http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157627650086116/
[02:24] <pleia2> gua: you might mention it to the sf-lug.org folks
[02:25] <locodir-user> the only reason i got into this system and im glad i have is that somoene in ontario california that is really good with the system has been hacking me for 2 years
[02:25] <gua> pleia2: Ah, good idea.
[02:25] <locodir-user> and im still in luimbo
[02:26] <locodir-user> limbo
[02:26] <pleia2> ok, I think we can wrap up the meeting
[02:26] <akk> locodir-user: If you have specific questions, you might want to wait 'til the meeting is over, then ask -- people are usually happy to help.
[02:27] <pleia2> anything else before we finish? :)
[02:27] <locodir-user> wow great yes i need help lol
[02:27] <pleia2> thanks for coming gua, nice to see new faces!
[02:27] <gua> That was a fast meeting.
[02:27] <pleia2> no agenda will do that
[02:27] <philipballew> good meeting though gua :)
[02:27] <gua> pleia2: Sure! I figured people here would be into AI and things like that.
