19 [02:01] <pleia2> #topic Software Freedom Day plans
20 [02:02] <pleia2> so grantbow emailed Sameer on the 24th about SFSU plans, who replied "updates coming soon"
21 [02:02] <pleia2> afaik, there haven't been any yet
22 [02:02] <pleia2> but they typically do an on campus thing some weekday that a few folks from the team go to
23 [02:02] <pleia2> any other areas have anything?
24 [02:02] <Roguehorse> oh, I was going to contact him to see if he needed help or anything and got sidetracked
25 [02:02] <pleia2> hehe
26 [02:03] <Roguehorse> I sent an email to Hurricane and never heard back
27 [02:03] <pleia2> well, we're trying :)
28 [02:03] <jyo> oh hi
29 [02:03] <Roguehorse> hi
30 [02:04] <pleia2> jyo works at Hurricane, so maybe chats can happen? :)
31 [02:05] <nhaines> The next OCLUG meeting is technically on SFD. So we probably should have planned something.
32 [02:05] <Roguehorse> ?? Hmm .... sure!
33 [02:05] * ianorlin doesn't know the topic of next OCLUG meeting
34 [02:06] <nhaines> They don't have topics unless there's a presentation.
35 [02:06] <ianorlin> ah
36 [02:08] <Roguehorse> (crickets)
37 [02:09] <pleia2> hehe, ok, next topic then
38 [02:09] <pleia2> #topic CaliforniaTeam/Leadership Election
39 [02:09] <pleia2> so this isn't until December strictly speaking, but I want to put it in people's minds early
40 [02:09] <Roguehorse> pleia2: Your the president! - next topic
41 [02:09] <elky> nah, she needs a break
42 [02:09] <Roguehorse> :-)
43 [02:09] <pleia2> you may notice that I miss about half the meetings, I'm traveling a lot and work is taking up a lot of my time, so I probably want to not play leader anymore
44 [02:10] <pleia2> plus Iwant to give others some opportunity :)
45 [02:10] * ianorlin hasn't done tihs before and don't really now how tihs works
46 [02:10] <pleia2> ianorlin: we have a whole document! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership
47 [02:10] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership - Ubuntu Wiki]
48 [02:10] <elky> there'll be a queue of people lining up to scold her for taking it on again if she does.
49 [02:10] <Roguehorse> I have a hard time with the groups I have now trying to get anything done
50 [02:10] <pleia2> mostly the job of the leadership trio is making sure meetings happen, announcements go out, and generally the team hums along
51 [02:11] <pleia2> elky: hehe
52 [02:11] <rww> more than three candidates this time would be nice :P
53 [02:11] <pleia2> so if anyone is interested, please think about it, and ask me or philipballew or rww questions if you are curious about what we've been up to this past year
54 [02:12] <pleia2> yes, a proper election would be lovely :)
55 [02:12] <jyo> I'm too busy running the election to run in the election, guys.
56 [02:12] <Roguehorse> LOL! I've seen that before at the Foundation
57 [02:13] <nhaines> What's the process for standing for election?
58 [02:13] <nhaines> Are there any deadlines, when's the election, etc. :)
59 [02:14] <rww> jyo: I can run the election, if you'd like to run in it :P
60 [02:14] <ianorlin> nhaines read pleia2 link
61 [02:15] <pleia2> the coordinator will send out an email like this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2013-December/002346.html
62 [02:15] <darthrobot`> Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Call for Ubuntu California LoCo leadershipnominations]
63 [02:15] <nhaines> ianorlin: I have. I didn't see any dates or nomination procedures there.
64 [02:15] <pleia2> again, all a couple months off and we'll iron that out as we get closer, I just want potential leaders to start thinking
65 [02:16] <nhaines> December. Looks good.
66 [02:16] <rww> and it's self-nomination over email or IRC
67 [02:16] * pleia2 nods
68 [02:17] * ianorlin wonders if that should be in the leadership so this question doesn't come up again
69 [02:18] <pleia2> it'll be linked at the bottom of the page in a 2014 link once we get going
70 [02:18] <pleia2> but it's 3 months off, so no one has done any of the deadline setting or anything yet
71 [02:18] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
72 [02:19] <Roguehorse> Has anyone heard from Jono at all? I never got to meet the guy.
73 [02:20] * ianorlin hears him on his podcast bad voltage but not in ubuntu-us-ca stuff
74 [02:20] <pleia2> he came to our release party in San Francisco for Trusty
75 [02:20] <nhaines> Jono's around all the time.
76 [02:20] <Roguehorse> I know, I was there too, but somehow missed him
77 [02:20] <nhaines> Roguehorse: I'm hoping he's at SCALE again next year. He's awesome. :)
78 [02:21] * ianorlin is pretty sure he will be
79 [02:21] <Roguehorse> I've heard all good things
80 [02:21] <pleia2> he's got the XPrize job now, so not quite as much Ubuntu-y things I think these days
81 [02:21] <Roguehorse> I've heard from many that I HAVE to get to SCALE but it's kind of a big wad of cash right now
82 [02:22] <pleia2> so, other things on the calendar, Utopic release is coming up on October 23rd
83 [02:22] * ianorlin likes living close to scale
84 [02:22] <Roguehorse> ianorlin: :-P
85 [02:22] <nhaines> Utopic will also be the foundation of the new phones featuring Ubuntu later this year. :)
86 [02:23] <pleia2> \o/
87 [02:23] <Roguehorse> Hmm.. my phone is junk again. I need to send it in for exchange
88 [02:24] <nhaines> I cleaned my keyboard last night and got all the keys back in the same place.
89 [02:24] * ianorlin wonders what new things are in server for utopic
90 [02:24] <Roguehorse> nhaines: LOL! Good work! (put it on your LinkedIN) ;-)
91 [02:25] <nhaines> Looking inside keyboard. Soon the living shall envy the dead.
92 [02:25] * pleia2 gives nhaines a gold star
93 [02:25] <pleia2> ianorlin: I don't expect a lot of innovation
94 [02:26] <pleia2> so, other upcoming stuff, I'll be out of town on Wednesday, but Michael Paoli will be hosting the typical SF Ubuntu Hour (and probably a Debian Dinner to follow)
95 [02:26] <pleia2> berkeley ubuntu hour coming up on the 18th: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2692-ubuntu-hour-berkeley/
96 [02:26] <darthrobot`> Title: [Ubuntu Hour Berkeley | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
97 [02:27] <pleia2> oh! copies of The Official Ubuntu Book
98 [02:28] <Roguehorse> have it
99 [02:28] <pleia2> nhaines has some in SoCal, I have some in NorCal, chat with us if you need one
100 [02:28] <pleia2> 8th edition (came out in July)
101 [02:28] <nhaines> I'm waiting on 9th edition.
102 [02:28] <pleia2> hehe
103 [02:29] <pleia2> ok, that's all I've got
104 [02:29] <Roguehorse> Some of the peeps at EBLUG might dig one
105 [02:30] <pleia2> I should go to that some time
106 [02:31] <Roguehorse> They're a nice group, just not very, um (active)? I guess I should say?
107 [02:31] <pleia2> aha :)
108 [02:32] <Roguehorse> pleia2: It would be nice to see you come in and hang out :-)
109 [02:32] <jyo> You're not missing much, at least last time I dropped by.
110 [02:32] <Roguehorse> I'm trying - but it's hard when you'rew the only one motivated
111 [02:32] <pleia2> Roguehorse: may do! probably not until November or so
112 [02:33] <Roguehorse> pleia2: No worries
113 [02:33] <pleia2> although, I might be around this month
114 [02:33] * pleia2 shrugs
115 [02:33] <pleia2> anyway, anything else from anyone before we wrap up and I go get sushi? :d
116 [02:33] <Roguehorse> nah, I'm empty
117 [02:34] <pleia2> alrighty, thanks everyone
