   3 [02:05] <pleia2> [TOPIC] Oneiric Release plans: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OneiricRelease
   4 [02:05] <MarkDude> Use of word collaborate makes it clear WHY. Better than any suggestion I could have made
   5 [02:05] <pleia2> so far there aren't any plans for the Oneiric release
   6 [02:05] <philipballew> sd might have a party
   7 [02:05] <pleia2> I'm going to be out of town for the actual week of the release
   8 [02:06] <philipballew> so so cal should have something
   9 [02:06] <pleia2> (actually giving a presentation about it in Philly, and probably going to their release party ;))
  10 [02:06] <MarkDude> DarkwingDuck: ping
  11 [02:06] <pleia2> philipballew: cool :)
  12 [02:07] <pleia2> I'll drop a mail to the list reminding people it's coming up soon
  13 [02:07] <philipballew> pleia2, about how long after do cd's come?
  14 [02:07] <pleia2> philipballew: usually about 2 weeks
  15 [02:07] <philipballew> right.
  16 [02:08] <pleia2> then I ship them everywhere, which takes a day or two
  17 [02:08] <philipballew> DarkwingDuck, should have them and I can meet him at the uh or whatever
  18 [02:08] <pleia2> so I'll send a bunch down to you or DarkwingDuck probably the day after the shipment gets in
  19 [02:08] <pleia2> sounds good :)
  20 [02:08] <philipballew> he's gonna go to uds. will they show up before that?
  21 [02:09] <pleia2> yeah, I think so
  22 [02:09] <pleia2> we'll see how timing works out and go from there
  23 [02:09] <pleia2> any other comments about the release for now?

  25 [02:10] <pleia2> our next meeting is on the 9th,the release is on the 13th
  26 [02:10] <DarkwingDuck> Got caught up in my Colts game.
  27 [02:10] <pleia2> welcome DarkwingDuck
  28 [02:10] <pleia2> [TOPIC] Team Leadership Elections
  29 [02:11] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: were you going to handle this?
  30 [02:11] <DarkwingDuck> Yes, I have zero notes. I'm on mobile right now.
  31 [02:11] <bkerensa> pleia2: :) CA could always come visit their Northern Neighbor... We should have a keg, soft drinks and gourmet pizza again (fingers crossed)
  32 [02:11] <bkerensa> :D
  33 [02:11] <DarkwingDuck> However, I get my working laptop tomorrow so, I will be sending an email about it very very very soon.
  34 [02:11] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: can you put out a call for nominees this week?
  35 [02:11] <pleia2> ok, great
  36 [02:11] <pleia2> we need to get this rolling ASAP
  37 [02:12] <DarkwingDuck> aye, It will happen BEFORE wednesday
  38 [02:12] <pleia2> as a review, we have a team leadership document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership
  39 [02:12]  * MarkDude nominates nhaines 
  40 [02:12] <jdeslip> Yep. It has been a fun year for me. But, I'm not going to run for reelection :)
  41 [02:12] <pleia2> elections are yearly, and we elect three people from around the state to co-lead
  42 [02:12] <pleia2> it's that time of year :)
  43 [02:12] <rww> o/
  44 [02:13] <pleia2> MarkDude: nominating people is fine, but please confirm they are willing to stand for leadership before formally submitting their name
  45 [02:13] <MarkDude> fair enough, makes sense
  46 [02:13] <DarkwingDuck> I'll be sending an email laying out the procedure.
  47 [02:13] <rww> (as in hi, not as in volunteering)

  49 [02:13] <DarkwingDuck> rww: Almost got ya
  50 [02:13] <jdeslip> rww: too bad
  51 [02:13] <MarkDude> He would make a great leader, I hope others encourage him also
  52 [02:13] <philipballew> pleia2, the job pays lots right?
  53 [02:13] <philipballew> haha
  54 [02:15] <pleia2> philipballew: hah
  55 [02:16] <pleia2> thanks for working on this DarkwingDuck :)

  57 [02:16] <pleia2> [TOPIC] Announcements, etc
  58 [02:16] <MarkDude> it pays with a warm fuzzy from the feeling of helping ;)
  59 [02:16] <rww> That's what that is? I thought it was indigestion.
  60 [02:17] <DarkwingDuck> Libertopia is getting rough... I'm having a hard time witht he funds... Being unemployed sux
  61 [02:17] <DarkwingDuck> But, I've been talking to a couple places for sponsorship.
  62 [02:17] <philipballew> would canonical help?
  63 [02:18] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: maybe another note to the list asking for help?
  64 [02:18] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2: I was going to.
  65 [02:18] <pleia2> philipballew: they sent a conference pack, they don't give financial funding for booths beyond that
  66 [02:18] <DarkwingDuck> philipballew: I'm not sure... I can ask.
  67 [02:18] <pleia2> philipballew: care to share your blog post about the last SD ubuntu hour?
