16 [02:02] <pleia2> #topic Further discussion and decision on Leadership document amendment: Decisions on non-agendized topics during IRC meetings
17 [02:02] <pleia2> rww: all yours!
18 [02:02] <rww> whoo, my favorite word
19 [02:03] <rww> So hopefully everyone had a chance to look at the mailing list post already
20 [02:03] <pleia2> at the last meeting there was lots of talk about adjusting the time (36 vs 48 or something)
21 [02:03] <pleia2> but consensus seemed to be that it's a good idea
22 [02:03] <rww> tl;dr for anyone who hasn't is in the first paragraph of https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2014-June/002437.html
23 [02:03] <darthrobot> Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Leadership Document amendment: Decisions on non-agendized topics during IRC meetings]
24 [02:04] <rww> yeah, that's the impression I got too
25 [02:04] <rww> Anyone have an issue with the amendment, apart from the time?
26 [02:04] <nhaines> It looks good to me.
27 [02:05] <elky> o/
28 [02:05] <ianorlin> I like the idea
29 [02:05] <pleia2> cool
30 [02:05] <pleia2> the rationale for 36 hours was that it allows folks to add friday after work
31 [02:05] <pleia2> which seems reasonable
32 [02:06] <rww> otoh, they have two weeks to add...
33 [02:06] <rww> well, 12 days
34 [02:06] <pleia2> heh, right
35 [02:07] <rww> does anyone have a preference other than 36 or 48?
36 [02:07] <elky> and friday night drinks inspired ideas could probably do with a fortnight cooldown ;)
37 [02:07] <rww> also, does anyone particularly prefer 48 over 36? (I don't)
38 [02:07] <grantbow> 48 seems right to me
39 [02:07] <DonkeyHotei> 36 seems like a compromise
40 [02:08] <pleia2> 48 is fine
41 [02:08] <elky> i like 48
42 [02:08] * grantbow wasn't aware of discussion of less than 36
43 [02:08] <pleia2> easier on the brain
44 [02:08] <DonkeyHotei> also, i stand by my recommendation of an 8pm cutoff instead of 7pm
45 [02:08] <ianorlin> 48
46 [02:08] <rww> I'd like to call for an everybody-vote on 48, then.
47 [02:08] <nhaines> It's a bad compromise. If the point is to allow people time to view the meeting agenda and schedule accordingly, then it's better to allow people to do that on Friday night and not Saturday morning.
48 [02:08] <elky> nhaines: good point
49 [02:09] <pleia2> and this is just for decision-making things anyway, if it's "chat about some idea" I think it's fine to add things later
50 [02:09] <ianorlin> like oclug is saturday morning and 4 hours
51 [02:09] <pleia2> we don't decide much :)
52 [02:09] <rww> pleia2: yep. It's specifically taking action on things.

88 [02:12] <pleia2> #action rww to update wiki and mailing list with results
89 [02:12] <darthrobot> ACTION: rww to update wiki and mailing list with results
90 [02:12] <rww> #topic Any other business
91 [02:13] <rww> Anyone have anything?
92 [02:13] <pleia2> ah, upcoming events
93 [02:13] * rww ponders mailing list for this month
94 [02:14] <rww> yep, some discussion about that on there. If anyone has any ideas, even if you think they're not awesome, please go add to that :D
95 [02:14] <nhaines> Installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a very old laptop and an HP netbook running some HP Linux yesterday. Ran very well on both.
96 [02:14] <rww> nice thread about hard disk quality, that was interesting to read
97 [02:14] <nhaines> OCLUG is planning another installfest for October, so that's a thing too.
98 [02:14] <rww> same setup as the recent one?
99 [02:15] <pleia2> cool
100 [02:15] <nhaines> Yup, but with more proactive advertising from what we've learned from the last one.
101 [02:15] <rww> nice
102 [02:15] <elky> make sure you hit up university campuses if nothing else
103 [02:16] <pleia2> some Ubuntu Hours upcoming, SF and Berkeley: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california/
104 [02:16] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu California | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
105 [02:16] <elky> and (lesson learned also) not the week before...
106 [02:16] * eps is looking for a "better" installfest worksheet
107 [02:16] * rww counts on fingers
108 [02:16] <pleia2> oh! there may be a Juju workshop at SFSU some time in the next couple of months, hoping to get an Orange Box for the event too (a Canonical employee would bring it)
109 [02:16] <rww> pleia2: does the one on the 9th correspond with a BAD dinner>
110 [02:16] <rww> coincide **
111 [02:17] <pleia2> rww: I am not calling one, but someone might
112 [02:17] <rww> pleia2: (re: SFSU) awesome! i'd be interested in going to that, the stuff on G+ about orange box has been fun
113 [02:18] <pleia2> no credit for me, Sameer just Cc:ed me on discussions with Canonifolk :)
114 [02:18] <rww> also Juju in general. They scaled it up to some ridiculous number of instances recently to test performance
115 [02:19] <rww> Anyone on utopic?
116 [02:19] <pleia2> does tablet count? :)
117 [02:19] <rww> no, but how is tablet going too :P
118 [02:19] * rww is all Debian and Android right now, hasn't been keeping track
119 [02:19] <pleia2> hehe
120 [02:19] <pleia2> is good
121 [02:20] <grantbow> fyi https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn
122 [02:20] <darthrobot> Title: [UtopicUnicorn - Ubuntu Wiki]
123 [02:20] <ianorlin> I have done some lubuntu on utopic
124 [02:20] <nhaines> eps: what's lacking from the current worksheet?
125 [02:20] <ianorlin> did three of the tests for the alpha1
126 [02:20] <rww> oh! Ubuntu One shutdown is almost exactly a month from now, so if you haven't yet pulled your data from that go do it
127 [02:21] <elky> owncloud is pretty good as a replacement if you have a vps or whatever. really easy to get going
128 [02:21] <rww> like, go do it now before you forget :P
129 [02:21] * rww is out of AOBs
130 [02:21] * pleia2 too
131 [02:21] <eps> nhaines: things like whether a machine has PS/2 ports, or is USB-only
132 [02:22] <nhaines> I recommend Copy as a U1 replacement, plus you can move your U1 files over for free. Shameless referral link (extra 5GB) is here: https://copy.com?r=sSPOra
133 [02:22] <darthrobot> [R: www.copy.com] Title: [Copy]
134 [02:23] <rww> Someone wrote a GUI client for Microsoft OneDrive recently, but I suspect that will not be a popular U1 alternative.
135 [02:23] <pleia2> hehe
136 [02:23] <rww> (OneDrive used to be called SkyDrive)
137 [02:24] <rww> hasn't PS/2 been legacy since like 2000
138 [02:24] <ianorlin> it is still on new mobos
139 [02:24] * pleia2 just recently replaced her ps/2 keyboard
140 [02:25] <rww> wow, finally something my work computers are cutting-edge about
141 [02:25] <nhaines> Not sure it's terribly relevant for an installfest either--no OS doesn't support both.
142 [02:25] <pleia2> rww: haha
143 [02:25] <elky> pleia2: was it a M?
144 [02:26] <eps> nhaines: I'm getting ready to install on a bunch of former XP machines, and it makes a difference for us
145 [02:26] <pleia2> elky: nah, but a close M successor
146 [02:26] <elky> so oldschool
147 [02:26] <rww> nhaines: did the recent installfest discriminate between BIOS and UEFI, or not bother because Ubuntu?
148 [02:27] <rww> (and Secure Boot on vs. off vs. not present, I guess)
149 [02:27] <ianorlin> most were vista machines or xp ones
150 [02:27] <pleia2> ah
151 [02:28] <pleia2> ok, wrap up time?
152 [02:28] <nhaines> rww: not because Ubuntu.
153 [02:28] <rww> pleia2: yep
154 [02:28] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
