  12 [02:01] <MarkDude> Moar Geeknics
  13 [02:01] <pleia2> MarkDude: cool, have a date to report?
  14 [02:02] <MarkDude> What time next month- I needs some help
  15 [02:02] <MarkDude> Last event was full fail
  16 [02:02] <MarkDude> Due to me
  17 [02:02] <MarkDude> It was fun- but had smallest attendance
  18 [02:03] <pleia2> the link from geeknic.org you shared had a broken link to the actual info and rsvp stuff about the event :\
  19 [02:03] <pleia2> so it was tricky for me to share around
  20 [02:03] <eps> Someone should organize an August picnic in Sunnyvale's Baylands Park. ;-)
  21 [02:03] <pleia2> eps: can you help MarkDude plan the next one?
  22 [02:04] <MarkDude> Yay
  23 [02:04] <MarkDude> Yes- multiple levels of fail
  24 [02:04] <grantbow> thanks for volunteering eps
  25 [02:04] <eps> It's probably too late to reserve Baylands. :-(
  26 [02:04] <MarkDude> As well as links sent out that I was not aware of :D
  27 [02:05] <pleia2> MarkDude: yeah, it ended up being a bit confusing :)
  28 [02:05] <MarkDude> I was confused- so Imagine it was a hassle for ithers
  29 [02:05] <pleia2> hehe
  30 [02:05] <pleia2> ok, so MarkDude needs help planning for the next geeknic
  31 [02:06] <pleia2> MarkDude: feel free to post to the list to ask for help too, I'll ask around and see if anyone can
  32 [02:06] <MarkDude> Ok
  33 [02:06] <pleia2> I'm not available the saturdays of the 10th or 17th in august (have events)
  34 [02:06] <pleia2> (fosscon in philly is the 10th, woo!)
  35 [02:06] <MarkDude> Ok, eps - lets see if we can plan it- and have you email lest once we are set
  36 [02:07] <MarkDude> +1 FOSScon
  37 [02:07] <MarkDude> OLPC Summit in OCTober- towards end of month, otherwise thats all I have :)
  38 [02:07] <grantbow> 18, 19 and 20th
  39 [02:07] <pleia2> cool
  40 [02:08] <grantbow> downtown at SFSU
  41 [02:08] <pleia2> grantbow: PM me your phone number so I can get you access to olpcsf stuff
  42 [02:08] <grantbow> k, thanks
  43 [02:08] <pleia2> so, CLS and OSCON next week
  44 [02:08] <pleia2> who all is going?
  45 [02:08] <pleia2> I know philipballew is going up to help with the Ubuntu booth
  46 [02:08] <pleia2> I'll be attending both afterall (speaking at oscon)
  47 [02:10] <pleia2> MarkDude: will you be there?
  48 [02:11] <pleia2> alright, so what else...
  49 [02:11] <pleia2> we've lost access to our identi.ca account for now :( they switched to a new authentication system, in doing so they reset all passwords and if you account doesn't have an email address associated with it you're locked out of your account :(
  50 [02:12] <pleia2> I'll keep an eye on it in case they end up finding a mechanism for us to solve this, a lot of other people are in the same position, it's not good
  51 [02:12]  * MarkDude will miss his 1st OSCON in 8 years
  52 [02:12] <MarkDude> :(
  53 [02:12] <pleia2> aw, bummer
  54 [02:13] <MarkDude> Evan is reachable via Identica from last I rememebr
  55 [02:13] <MarkDude> The only way I know of to really solve Identica issues
  56 [02:16] <pleia2> MarkDude: he works for identica?
  57 [02:16] <pleia2> if you could lend a hand here, it'd be appreciated
  58 [02:17] <grantbow> I think he started it
  59 [02:18] <pleia2> I think that's pretty much all I had team update wise
  60 [02:18] <pleia2> ubuntu hour last week was great :) had like 12 people and we did a keysigning!
  61 [02:19] <pleia2> in san francisco
  62 [02:19] <grantbow> nice
  63 [02:19] <MarkDude> Yep he started it-
  64 [02:20] <pleia2> anyone else have anything to discuss?
  65 [02:21] <grantbow> Evan P, not our Evan B :-)
  66 [02:21] <pleia2> I'm going to be traveling during our next meeting in 2 weeks, our meetings have been pretty lean lately so we can either decide to 1) cancel it 2) someone else volunteer to announce and run it
  67 [02:22] <pleia2> thoughts?
  68 [02:22] <grantbow> I'll do it
  69 [02:22] <pleia2> ok, thanks grantbow :)
  70 [02:22] <rhernand> I got a question...  I recently relocated from San Jose, CA to San Antonio,TX and there doesn't appear to be a group in this city
  71 [02:23] <rhernand> any recommendations?
  72 [02:23] <pleia2> rhernand: have you spoken with folks on the state-wide team?
  73 [02:23] <grantbow> try /join #ubuntu-us-tx and /topic :-)
  74 [02:23] <pleia2> groups in the US are organized on the state level, in texas I think they then have subteams
  75 [02:23] <pleia2> if one doesn't exist, you can typically propose to run an event and see who comes :)
  76 [02:24] <rhernand> i might have to do that...
  77 [02:24] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TexasTeam has info about parts of the team though
  78 [02:24] <darthrobot> Title: [TexasTeam - Ubuntu Wiki]
  79 [02:24] <pleia2> I met with the Dallas folks once, but that was 5 years ago at this point ;)
  80 [02:26] <pleia2> any upcoming events to announce?
  81 [02:27] <grantbow> nothing out of the ordinary comes to mind - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups
  82 [02:27] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups - Ubuntu Wiki]
  83 [02:27] <pleia2> alright, thanks everyone :)
  84 [02:28] <rhernand> thanks
  85 [02:28] <pleia2> rhernand: lots of folks involved with event coordinating here, so if you need help planning something in your area please feel free to ask :)
