   1 [02:03] <pleia2> #startmeeting
   2 [02:03] <pleia2> who all is here?
   3 [02:03] <gua> i'm here!
   4 [02:04] <akk> o/
   5 [02:05] <greg-g> I'm partially here, might go for a walk with the pregnent wife soon-ish
   6 [02:05] <pleia2> :)
   7 [02:05] <pleia2> ok, we don't actually have anything on the agenda
   8 [02:06]  * pleia2 waits for wiki to load
   9 [02:06] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11September11 empty agenda :)
  10 [02:06] <pleia2> but we have had some events lately
  11 [02:06] <pleia2> DWonderly: you about?
  12 [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/
  13 [02:07] <greg-g> cool! add it to a team report! :)
  14 [02:08] <pleia2> yep
  15 [02:08] <grantbow> :)
  16 [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
  17 [02:08] <pleia2> we've done them monthly for the past couple of years
  18 [02:08] <gua> is there a designated time for comments/questions from random people (like me)?
  19 [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
  20 [02:09] <pleia2> gua: since we have no agenda this meeting is pretty free-form, anyone can make comments/questions any time :)
  21 [02:10] <gua> ah alright
  22 [02:10] <pleia2> today up in berkeley we did the solano stroll, just plugged in my camera to get the pictures ;)
  23 [02:10] <pleia2> gave out over 100 CDs, lots of people at the booth all day, lots of fun, too much funnel cake
  24 [02:10] <grantbow> \o/
  25 [02:10] <gua> that sounds good
  26 [02:10] <greg-g> pleia2: how many -us-ca people were there?
  27 [02:11] <rww> o/
  28 [02:11] <rww> (here, not there)
  29 [02:12] <philipballew> is here!
  30 [02:13] <pleia2> greg-g: jyo, jdeslip at least, the rest were mostly berkeleylug
  31 [02:14] <greg-g> cool!
  32 [02:14] <grantbow> did Ian make it?
  33 [02:14] <pleia2> yep :)
  34 [02:14] <pleia2> we're going to play 3ds at the next berkeleylug
  35 [02:15] <pleia2> hehe
  36 [02:15] <grantbow> cool
  37 [02:15] <pleia2> anyone have announcements, comments, questions, other things?
  38 [02:15] <pleia2> san francisco ubuntu hour on wednesday evening: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1209/detail/
  39 [02:16] <greg-g> dang, I'll be out of town
  40 [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.
  41 [02:16] <grantbow> err, not Global Jam, Ubuntu Hour
  42 [02:16] <grantbow> one step at a time
  43 [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?
  44 [02:17] <akk> I'd be interested in a study group for ai or ml ... haven't heard of any plans for one.
  45 [02:17] <greg-g> grantbow: nice.
  46 [02:17] <makushimu> I had applied for that online AI class, really looking forward it.
  47 [02:18] <grantbow> online? excellent
  48 [02:18] <akk> grantbow: online and free, offered by stanford. ai-class.com
  49 [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.
  50 [02:18] <akk> tens of thousands of students taking it worldwide :)
  51 [02:19] <pleia2> my boss wants me to take the db class, but I can't imagine when I'd have time :\
  52 [02:19] <akk> I'm closer to Hacker Dojo than either of those places, myself.
  53 [02:19] <gua> grantbow: http://www.ai-class.com/    http://www.ml-class.com/    http://www.db-class.com/
  54 [02:20] <grantbow> gua: dvlug.org and noisebridge.net are both weekly, sounds good
  55 [02:20] <gua> makushimu: Would you be interested in attending a study group?
  56 [02:20] <makushimu> Oh, I didn't know about db and ml classes, thank you for sharing!
  57 [02:20] <locodir-user> IS THERE A LIST OF UBUNTU USERS
  58 [02:20] <gua> grantbow: Is there somethng weekly related to AI at Noisebridge?
  59 [02:20] <grantbow> locodir-user: no
  60 [02:20] <locodir-user> IN CALIFORNIA
  61 [02:20] <pleia2> locodir-user: please turn off your caps lock :)
  62 [02:21] <makushimu> gua: I would love to try
  63 [02:21] <grantbow> gua: not sure about AI
  64 [02:21] <locodir-user> ok thank youy
  65 [02:21] <grantbow> gua: at noisebridge
  66 [02:21] <akk> A list of all Ubuntu users in California would be a very very long list. :)
  67 [02:21] <gua> grantbow: Ah, well related to any of the classes really then?
  68 [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
  69 [02:21] <pleia2> everyone pretty much does their own thing there anyway
  70 [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
  71 [02:22] <pleia2> s/class/thing
  72 [02:22] <pleia2> :)
  73 [02:22] <grantbow> pleia2: +1
  74 [02:22] <makushimu> gua: Most excellent, thank you!
  75 [02:22] <gua> I was thinking of attending a few local meeting things like DV LUG and bringing up the study group topic.
  76 [02:22] <locodir-user> i see
  77 [02:22] <gua> pleia2: that's a good idea to bring it up then
  78 [02:22] <pleia2> yeah :)
  79 [02:22] <locodir-user> well im very new to this ubuntu  its alot of work
  80 [02:23] <pleia2> ok, anything else?
  81 [02:24] <gua> Any ideas for groups besides DV LUG and the various Noisebridge groups that might be interested in those classes?
  82 [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/
  83 [02:24] <pleia2> gua: you might mention it to the sf-lug.org folks
  84 [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
  85 [02:25] <gua> pleia2: Ah, good idea.
  86 [02:25] <locodir-user> and im still in luimbo
  87 [02:26] <locodir-user> limbo
  88 [02:26] <pleia2> ok, I think we can wrap up the meeting
  89 [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.
  90 [02:27] <pleia2> anything else before we finish? :)
  91 [02:27] <locodir-user> wow great yes i need help lol
  92 [02:27] <pleia2> thanks for coming gua, nice to see new faces!
  93 [02:27] <gua> That was a fast meeting.
  94 [02:27] <pleia2> no agenda will do that
  95 [02:27] <philipballew> good meeting though gua :)
  96 [02:27] <gua> pleia2: Sure! I figured people here would be into AI and things like that.
