  11 [03:02] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12November18 - Ubuntu Wiki]
  12 [03:02] <pleia2> our agenda is empty :)
  13 [03:02] <pleia2> I guess I can give some updates
  14 [03:02] <pleia2> I've shipped out CDs to San Diego, Lake Forest and Los Angeles
  15 [03:02] <pleia2> s/CDs/DVDs
  16 [03:03] <eps> :-)
  17 [03:03] <pleia2> I haven't heard back from the silicon valley folks about DVDs, but hopefully they'll find time to reply so I can get some down there to San Jose and Mt View
  18 [03:03] <philipballew> so I was able to hand out several of these already
  19 [03:04] <pleia2> we do have some 12.04 CDs left over too, this week I'll go through them to make sure our wiki is up to date, they're LTS so it's ok to have leftovers :)
  20 [03:04] <pleia2> philipballew: yay!
  21 [03:04] <grantbow> LTS = good for newbies
  22 [03:04] <josheboy> <--- newbie
  23 [03:04] <pleia2> and servers, companies, etc ;)
  24 [03:04] <philipballew> We here in San Diego had our Ubuntu hour this Thursday and had 3 people besides myself. I have a few lts here I still hand out as well.
  25 [03:05] <pleia2> josheboy: nice to have some new faces here :) welcome
  26 [03:05] <josheboy> Thanks much :)
  27 [03:05]  * philipballew high fives josheboy 
  28 [03:05] <kallecarl> Hello, new to the meeting want to invite Ubuntu folks to http://www.qtdeveloperdays.com/northamerica/ Dec 5 -7. Jono confirmed tonight that he will be on the panel about open source tablets
  29 [03:05] <darthrobot`> Title: [Qt Developer Days]
  30 [03:05] <pleia2> kallecarl: cool, thanks!
  31 [03:05] <pleia2> kallecarl: is there an announcement you can forward to the mailing list?
  32 [03:05] <kallecarl> list address
  33 [03:05] <grantbow> nice
  34 [03:05] <kallecarl> ?
  35 [03:05] <kallecarl> grantbow: howdy
  36 [03:05] <pleia2> kallecarl: ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com
  37 [03:06] <kallecarl> pleia2: not really an announcement I guess
  38 [03:06] <kallecarl> just the URL for the conference
  39 [03:06] <kallecarl> will do though
  40 [03:06] <pleia2> kallecarl: ok, thanks
  41 [03:06] <eps> Isn't it horrifically expensive to attend?
  42 [03:06] <grantbow> nice adjective
  43 [03:07] <pleia2> hehe
  44 [03:08] <grantbow> Santa Clara with a free three day pass? Not too horrific.
  45 [03:08] <pleia2> another thing I wanted to mention is how we plan events
  46 [03:09] <philipballew> kallecarl, If you are advertising it here, can LoCo members here get in for free or a good price?
  47 [03:09] <kallecarl> eps: there are a few complimentary passes
  48 [03:09] <pleia2> we've gone from having pretty strict rules to having essentally none, which some people are taking advantage of now - to the extent of sometimes not even telling the rest of the team they're having what they call Ubuntu California events ;(
  49 [03:09] <pleia2> :(
  50 [03:09] <kallecarl> please email me at carlsymons@gmail.com
  51 [03:09] <philipballew> pleia2, This is a problem.
  52 [03:10] <pleia2> so today I created a wiki page to help people understand the minimum requirements for hosting an event (and akk helped me clean it up): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/HowTo
  53 [03:10] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/HowTo - Ubuntu Wiki]
  54 [03:10] <pleia2> this is now linked on our Projects page
  55 [03:10] <grantbow> sounds good
  56 [03:10] <philipballew> +1
  57 [03:10] <pleia2> should be helpful for for all of us really :) we forget how many resources we have!
  58 [03:11] <grantbow> true
  59 [03:11] <pleia2> it's a wiki, so please feel free to make edits as needed, that's really my first stab at it
  60 [03:11] <pleia2> I'm hoping this will be enough to solve the problem of rogue events ;)
  61 [03:12] <eps> Speaking of Projects ...
  62 [03:13] <eps> SCALE 11x -- http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/
  63 [03:13] <darthrobot`> Title: [SCALE 11x]
  64 [03:13] <pleia2> oh gosh, that's coming up fast
  65 [03:13] <eps> Hello!
  66 [03:13] <pleia2> I'm skipping this year :(
  67 [03:14] <eps> Philip?
  68 [03:14] <philipballew> eps, Ill be there
  69 [03:14] <philipballew> I can run the booth for the loco if needed
  70 [03:14] <philipballew> since I live down here somewhat and not
  71 [03:14] <eps> So, I guess it goes on the Projects page.
  72 [03:14] <pleia2> yeah
  73 [03:14] <pleia2> can copy the 10x page probably and adjust accordingly :)
  74 [03:15] <pleia2> also follow up with nhaines to see if there will be an Ubucon too
  75 [03:15] <philipballew> probably nhaines and iheartubuntu will help with all the people from their hours
  76 [03:15] <grantbow> another Ubucon would be great
  77 [03:15] <pleia2> grantbow: yeah :)
  78 [03:15] <eps> Find some discount codes for attendees, and figure out what you need from people who are interested in volunteering
  79 [03:15] <philipballew> I'm gonna set up a page for hotel/ride sharing for people so were all not booked in out own hotels if we dont want to
  80 [03:16] <pleia2> philipballew: that's great!
  81 [03:16] <grantbow> eps: Volunteering? Thanks for that ;-)
  82 [03:16] <pleia2> let me know if you have any questions logistically, I am not sure who is working with Gareth to arrange the booth
  83 [03:16] <philipballew> the hilton is somewhat $$ compared to ones a few blocks away as well. and there is parking around for people driving from sf
  84 [03:17] <eps> grantbow: Would you prefer ... conscription?
  85 [03:17] <pleia2> I just can't attend because I have too much happening this year (changing jobs, getting married)
  86 [03:17]  * philipballew still wants to see a "scale or bust" sign on a car
  87 [03:17] <pleia2> turns out you can't actually take 2 months a year off for conferences and honeymoon... ;)
  88 [03:18] <philipballew> :)
  89 [03:18] <mikestewart> honeymoon at SCaLE!
  90 [03:18] <mikestewart> :-P
  91 [03:18]  * mikestewart back to luring
  92 [03:18]  * mikestewart back to lurking
  93 [03:18] <philipballew> I have a good thing to mention
  94 [03:19] <philipballew> Our loco member dave (iheartubuntu) came out of the woodwork this week to pull a victory for Ubuntu/linux with that netflix app he helped make. So whenever you see the news about that, know it was made possible from someone who came from our loco.
  95 [03:19] <pleia2> philipballew: oh yes, good catch
  96 [03:19] <grantbow> excellent!
  97 [03:19] <pleia2> mikestewart: getting married in April :) and I'd like to go somewhere more exciting than LA ;)
  98 [03:19] <josheboy> oh wow. that's pretty cool
  99 [03:20] <pleia2> http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html
 100 [03:20] <darthrobot`> Title: [PPA for Netflix Desktop App | iheartubuntu]
 101 [03:20] <pleia2> the Ubuntu Developer Summit will probably happen during my honeymoon, but he wasn't thrilled with that honeymoon idea
 102 [03:21] <philipballew> I want to see a plenary session where you get married by markdude pleia2
 103 [03:21] <eps> Do we know where the next UDS will be held?
 104 [03:21] <pleia2> philipballew: hahahah
 105 [03:21] <pleia2> eps: nope :\
 106 [03:22] <grantbow> hopefully Oakland
 107 [03:22] <pleia2> ok, anyone else have anything?
 108 [03:22] <grantbow> How about shirts? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Shirts
 109 [03:22] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Shirts - Ubuntu Wiki]
 110 [03:22] <pleia2> grantbow: oh yes! what were your thoughts here?
 111 [03:23] <kallecarl> pleia2: i didn't sign up for the mailing list. Just mailed the address you gave
 112 [03:23] <kallecarl> the QtDevDays announce
 113 [03:23] <pleia2> kallecarl: thanks, I'll let it through
 114 [03:23] <grantbow> Let's have an art contest again and get some more printed.
 115 [03:23] <philipballew> grantbow, I like this idea. If we get them made up by scale we can pass them out there
 116 [03:23] <grantbow> Canonical colors have changed so at least updating colors will be good.
 117 [03:24] <grantbow> both Canonical and Community colors
 118 [03:24] <eps> No more aubergine? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!
 119 [03:24] <pleia2> so are we proposing a full logo redesign
 120 [03:24] <philipballew> who will print them grantbow ?
 121 [03:24] <grantbow> yes
 122 [03:24] <kallecarl> at LinuxCon, there were the coolest shirts. Not screened like a big hunk of plastic but rather dyed into the shirt
 123 [03:24] <pleia2> eps: yes aubergine, but we haven't updated our stuff for even that change...
 124 [03:24] <kallecarl> drivemg.com is the contact
 125 [03:24] <pleia2> eps: our logo is still the old old old ubuntu logo
 126 [03:24] <grantbow> our colors for the old shirt were pre-aubergine
 127 [03:25] <philipballew> IDEA! Hold a contest from the ml to get design ideas, and the winner gets a free shirt.
 128 [03:25] <eps> Is there a URL with design guidelines?
 129 [03:25] <pleia2> philipballew: we can't really promise that :( no one to $$$$ for the shirts
 130 [03:25] <grantbow> If we design it we'll find someone to print it. Maybe the person that did it last time.
 131 [03:25]  * mikestewart can't imagine much more *exciting* than LA ... but ya, wouldn't honeymoon here (or SCaLE) either.
 132 [03:25] <philipballew> true.
 133 [03:25] <pleia2> (unless you're volunteering :))
 134 [03:25] <grantbow> Ernest Rogers
 135 [03:26] <grantbow> we can ask him
 136 [03:26] <pleia2> mikestewart: maybe exotic is the right word (boo more california ;))
 137 [03:26] <philipballew> pleia2, I can look into printing them at a shop near me here if I have some funds
 138 [03:26] <josheboy> I live in LA, and I took my very recent honeymoon far away from here, haha. And no laptops either. It was very refreshing :p
 139 [03:26] <philipballew> so if people pre order them, but not sure if people would want that
 140 [03:26] <grantbow> no reason we can't do multiple printings too
 141 [03:26] <philipballew> agreed
 142 [03:26] <grantbow> though probably not necessary yet
 143 [03:26] <pleia2> ok, so can someone take an action item to put together a wiki page for this new design contest and organize it on list?
 144 [03:26] <philipballew> yes
 145 [03:26] <pleia2> josheboy: congrats!
 146 [03:27] <grantbow> I can organize it
 147 [03:27] <pleia2> ok great :)
 148 [03:27] <grantbow> and do a wiki page
 149 [03:27] <josheboy> pleia2: Thanks. And congrats on the near future nuptuals :)
 150 [03:27] <pleia2> josheboy: thank you :)
 151 [03:27] <grantbow> +1
 152 [03:27] <pleia2> wow, this was a productive meeting!
 153 [03:27] <pleia2> anything else?
 154 [03:27] <grantbow> not bad for a blank agenda
 155 [03:27] <pleia2> indeed
 156 [03:27] <eps> Other than not ordering purple and orange M&Ms, what other disasters should I know about?
 157 [03:28]  * mikestewart lives in long beach.  
 158 [03:28] <grantbow> eps: please propose a design in the contest that is soon to come.
 159 [03:28] <pleia2> eps: do they have purple?
 160 [03:28] <mikestewart> did you guys firgure out whos working with Gareth on SCaLE booth?
 161 [03:28] <philipballew> mikestewart, come down to san diego!
 162 [03:28] <josheboy> mikestewart: I live in North Hollywood
 163 [03:29] <pleia2> philipballew: will you contact Gareth to see who he has down for the ubuntu booth contact?
 164 [03:29] <mikestewart> philipballew, san diego is an awesome place to visit.  as is sf bay area.
 165 [03:29] <philipballew> pleia2, will do
 166 [03:29] <pleia2> great
 167 [03:29] <philipballew> mikestewart, all the more reason to come here and say hello
 168 [03:29] <philipballew> and get a free ubuntu cd
 169 [03:29] <mikestewart> philipballew, I wouldn't mind being backup help for the booth
 170 [03:29] <eps> pleia2: www.mymms.com (and yes, they are appropriate for weddings)
 171 [03:30]  * mikestewart is an organizer of #drupal-la  
 172 [03:30] <philipballew> mikestewart, yeah, Lets do that.
 173 [03:30] <mikestewart> we'll have a booth, too
 174 [03:30] <grantbow> Oh, I burned some 12.04 and special 12.10 CD size images. I will let the list know when I get a chance to test the 12.10 CDs.
 175 [03:30] <pleia2> eps: just proposed pink m&m wedding favors and got a funny look, then he goes "whatever you want, hon"
 176 [03:30] <pleia2> mikestewart: cool
 177 [03:30] <mikestewart> philipballew, where are you in sandiego?
 178 [03:30] <philipballew> alright. I gtg get back to my homework
 179 [03:30] <philipballew> ah
 180 [03:31] <philipballew> mikestewart, Point Loma
 181 [03:31] <pleia2> grantbow: cool, thanks
 182 [03:31] <kallecarl> pleia2: whatever you want, hon...already trained well
 183 [03:31] <josheboy> "whatever you want, hon" is the perfect soon-to-be groom answer
 184 [03:31] <pleia2> josheboy: +1
 185 [03:31] <pleia2> kallecarl: too
 186 [03:31] <pleia2> :)
 187 [03:31]  * mikestewart is not sure how close that is to stone brewery  -- a major reason to get in the car for the SD trip.  besides legoland for the kids
 188 [03:31] <pleia2> ok, we can wrap up this meeting :)
 189 [03:31] <grantbow> great meeting! thanks for chairing pleia2
