  10 [02:09] <pleia2> #topic Leadership Elections
  11 [02:10] <pleia2> so, we had Darkwing step down due to moving out of the state
  12 [02:10] <pleia2> I'll toss my name in again for a leadership spot
  13 [02:10] <pleia2> is there anyone who wants to run the call for leaders and all that? :)
  14 [02:11] <grantbow> where are the rules?
  15 [02:11] <eps> ...and deadlines?
  16 [02:11] <pleia2> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership
  17 [02:11] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership - Ubuntu Wiki]
  18 [02:11] <pleia2> eps: the person running it has to determine the deadlines
  19 [02:12] <pleia2> we don't have hard deadlines really, octoberish or novemberish for new leadership going in
  20 [02:12] <pleia2> if you scroll down to the bottom of that leadership page you'll see what we did in years past
  21 [02:13] <pleia2> and I think look in the archives in september & october of last year
  22 [02:13] <pleia2> I really can't do it again this year because 1) it's actually kind of awkward to do it since I'm one of the leaders 2) I'll be gone for a month starting october 10th
  23 [02:15] <pleia2> so, anyone? :)
  24 [02:15] <eps> Where's MarkDude when we need him? ;-)
  25 [02:17] <pleia2> heh
  26 [02:17] <grantbow> lol
  27 [02:17] <pleia2> he's more of an exciting event doer :) less of an administriva running election type I think
  28 [02:17] <pleia2> this really is sending emails, encouraging people to apply, setting up vote (if we have more than 3 applciants)
  29 [02:18] <pleia2> alright, I'll follow up on list and see if I can get someone to handle it
  30 [02:19] <pleia2> that was all we had on our agenda for today
  31 [02:19] <pleia2> #topic Announcements, events, anything else
  32 [02:20] <pleia2> I'm canceling the october and november SF Ubuntu Hours due to aformentioned out of townness
  33 [02:21] <grantbow> unless someone else picks them up?
  34 [02:21] <pleia2> will probably do an Ubuntu Hour+Dinner-ish thing some time the first week of October
  35 [02:21] <pleia2> grantbow: yes, anyone is welcome to run them
  36 [02:21] <eps> I think we're due for a Bay Area Debian Dinner.
  37 [02:21] <pleia2> eps: yes, but I'll be on an airplane during the next one, so someone else has to handle that :)
  38 [02:22] <pleia2> http://bad.debian.net/shotgun_rules.txt details how to go about it, if someone is interested
  39 [02:22] <darthrobot`> Content type: [text/plain] Size: [7286]
  40 [02:22] <pleia2> (and they can look in archives for my past announcements)
  41 [02:24] <pleia2> any other events or thing coming up that anyone would like to talk about?
  42 [02:25] <grantbow> noisebridge.net has a raspberrypi.org event in a week
  43 [02:25] <pleia2> link?
  44 [02:25] <eps> https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/RaspberryPiEvent

  49 [02:26] <pleia2> thanks
  50 [02:27] <pleia2> I believe jyo still has a few pis around for sale
  51 [02:27] <pleia2> mine is now next to my desktop, chugging away
  52 [02:27] <eps> That's not a conflict. Free ice cream at the Powell and Rockridge BART stations from 1-4 p.m. are the conflict. :-)
  53 [02:27] <grantbow> I have one on order. Who has one for sale?
  54 [02:27] <pleia2> grantbow: jyo
  55 [02:28] <pleia2> eps: haha
  56 [02:28] <grantbow> ah
  57 [02:28] <pleia2> powell isn't so far from noisebridge :)
  58 [02:29] <pleia2> ok, I think we can wrap things up, unless anyone else has anything?
  59 [02:29] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to email list to find someone to run leadership election
  60 [02:29] <darthrobot`> ACTION: pleia2 to email list to find someone to run leadership election
  61 [02:29] <eps> Can we outsource this to the Indiana LoCo?
  62 [02:30] <pleia2> hah
  63 [02:30] <eps> Just asking!
  64 [02:30] <pleia2> I think some indianans still lurk on our mailing list ;)

  66 [02:30] <darthrobot`> Title: [Software Center problems after Adobe Flash - possibly K3b - Ubuntu Forums]
  67 [02:30] <pleia2> (our forums are rather quiet)
  68 [02:31] <eps> We have forums?
  69 [02:31] <pleia2> sure do!
  70 [02:31] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
