  10 [02:03] <pleia2> #topic OCLUG Installfest

  12 [02:03] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OCLUGInstallFestMay2014 - Ubuntu Wiki]
  13 [02:03] <pleia2> nhaines: anything you wish to talk about?
  14 [02:04] <nhaines> Everything's rolling along logistically.  Other than pizza money, everything is all in place.
  15 [02:04] <nhaines> What's not in place are volunteers.  I've only received one email, so I assume no one else is going.
  16 [02:04]  * ianorlin needs to send email
  17 [02:04] <DalekMagnus> I can go
  18 [02:05] <DalekMagnus> I just confirmed with my fiance >_>
  19 [02:05] <DalekMagnus> she gave me a stare
  20 [02:05] <DalekMagnus> horriffying*
  21 [02:05] <nhaines> The more the merrier.  Basically we need people to help with installation.
  22 [02:05] <nhaines> And by "installation" I mean figuring out if the hardware sounds sane and then figuring out how to boot from a DVD.
  23 [02:05] <DalekMagnus> Oh that's cake, will do
  24 [02:05] <DalekMagnus> ah, more fun
  25 [02:06] <nhaines> As far as fixing scary arcade installation problems, well the more installers we have, the freer myself and a couple others will be to troubleshoot.  So don't worry about that.  :)
  26 [02:06] <nhaines> Anyone from Ubuntu California who has signed the Code of Conduct will get an Ubuntu name badge to wear, assuming the email me their full name before Saturday.  :P
  27 [02:07] <DalekMagnus> lol I hope I see an arcade build
  28 [02:07] <DalekMagnus> !
  29 [02:07] <nhaines> So email me at nhaines at ubuntu.com if you can make it.  Details are here: http://www.oclug.org/installfest.html
  30 [02:07] <darthrobot> Title: [OCLUG Installfest]
  31 [02:07] <nhaines> The most important thing is that we're featuring Ubuntu and not talking about the command line other than the very, very brief mention that *I* will give during the install.
  32 [02:08] <nhaines> Mainly so that people understand why they're given a list of commands to copy/paste when they search for answers on the Internet.
  33 [02:09] <nhaines> Other than that we're just going to stay positive, not mention other software in a negative manner, etc.  :)
  34 [02:09] <nhaines> I think that's about it.
  35 [02:09] <pleia2> great, thanks nhaines
  36 [02:09] <ianorlin> yeah not get into a war about which is best
  37 [02:09] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
  38 [02:10] <pleia2> so, do we have other stuff to talk about?
  39 [02:10] <eps> BALUG?
  40 [02:10] <pleia2> yeah, as I mentioned on list I'll be presenting on 14.04 at BALUG on tuesday

  42 [02:10] <darthrobot> Title: [[BALUG-Announce] BALUG meeting Tu 2014-05-20: Elizabeth KrumbachJoseph on Ubuntu14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr"; & other BALUG news]
  43 [02:11] <eps> Actually, I do have something new:
  44 [02:11] <eps> In re https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/05/14/drm-and-the-challenge-of-serving-users/
  45 [02:11] <darthrobot> Title: [DRM and the Challenge of Serving Users | The Mozilla Blog]
  46 [02:11] <pleia2> I also presented at FeltonLUG yesterday, slides at BALUG will be similar, anyone is welcome to use them: http://princessleia.com/presentations/1404-whats-new-felton.pdf (and .odp)
  47 [02:11] <darthrobot> Content type: [application/pdf] Size: [94938]
  48 [02:11] <eps> I would like to propose a vote to condemn Mozilla's decision to implement DRM in upcoming Firefox releases.
  49 [02:12] <nhaines> Out of scope.
  50 [02:12] <nhaines> Besides which, of course, they're not implementing DRM.  Adobe is.
  51 [02:12] <eps> nhaines: really? We can't take a position on that?
  52 [02:12] <akk> I have questions about that and wouldn't mind discussing it after the meeting.
  53 [02:12] <pleia2> I'm not really interested in that
  54 [02:12] <ianorlin> good thing is other browsers in repos
  55 [02:12] <nhaines> akk: that sounds like a capital idea.  :)
  56 [02:13] <pleia2> anything else?
  57 [02:13] <nhaines> eps: "out of scope" is merely my opinion.
  58 [02:14] <eps> Two votes: one to determine whether it's in scope, with a second on the resolution if the first one passes.
  59 [02:15] <pleia2> #vote Should a vote to condemn Mozilla's decision to implement DRM in upcoming Firefox releases be within the scope of this team

  80 [02:16] <rww> (Once this is done, I have a topic)
  81 [02:16] <pleia2> eps: sounds like it's an after meeting discussion for folks interested in the topic in general
  82 [02:16] <nhaines> rww: once the meeting's done?
  83 [02:17] <rww> nhaines: no, it's within scope
  84 [02:17] <pleia2> rww: go for it
  85 [02:17] <DalekMagnus> (bleh)
  86 [02:17] <rww> (second, typing)
  87 [02:18] <rww> I would like to amend section C of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership to mandate that decisions on topics added to the agenda < 48 hours before the meeting or brought up during "Any other business" cannot be finalized during a meeting and must go to the mailing list for discussion.
  88 [02:18] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership - Ubuntu Wiki]
  89 [02:19] <pleia2> rww: seems reasonable
  90 [02:19] <rww> I recognize the hilarity of suggesting this during "Any other business".
  91 [02:19] <nhaines> I really like the idea that we could vote on and....  yes.  :)
  92 [02:19] <pleia2> rww: can you send a proposal to the list?
  93 [02:19] <rww> yep
  94 [02:19] <pleia2> cool
  95 [02:19] <eps> Add it to the agenda for the next meeting. :-)
  96 [02:20] <rww> Good idea, I probably will.
  97 [02:21] <rww> (This will also give me a chance to use the word "agendized", which is my new favorite word since I heard it at a school board meeting.)
  98 [02:21] <nhaines> Sounds good to me.
  99 [02:21] <rww> Anyways. Other topics?
 100 [02:21] <DalekMagnus> haha
 101 [02:21]  * ianorlin can't think of any
 102 [02:22] <pleia2> alright, thanks everyone
