   4  02:07:27 <nhaines> Welcome to the Ubuntu California meeting for 10 July 2016.  The agenda is availble here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16July10
   5  02:07:27 <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16July10 - Ubuntu Wiki]
   6  02:08:11 <nhaines> We have a couple upcoming events.
   7  02:09:09 <nhaines> First of all, pleia2 is continuing her grand Xeres tour at BALUG, where she'll talk about Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.  That'll be on July 19th at Henry's Hunan Restaurant in San Francisco.
   8  02:10:13 <nhaines> Looking further out, there's an Ubuntu 16.04 release party at OpenDNS on July 28th.
   9  02:10:58 <nhaines> I will pester pleia2 to get her BALUG talk into the LoCo directory/Meetup, but there's more info abou the release party available here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3398-san-francisco-ubuntu-1604-release-party/
  10  02:10:58 <darthrobot> Title: [San Francisco Ubuntu 16.04 Release Party | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
  11  02:11:23 <nhaines> You should definitely attend any of those events you can, because pleia2 is a fantastic speaker.
  12  02:11:39 <nhaines> #topic Announcements
  13  02:12:54 <nhaines> Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS is imminent.  We'll see that released on 21 July.  This is perfect timing for the release party!  The release of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS will also be when Ubuntu 14.04 LTS users begin to receive the option to upgrade.
  14  02:13:32 <nhaines> Does anyone else have any announcements at this time?
  15  02:14:19 <pleia2> so sorry
  16  02:14:39 <pleia2> nhaines already mentioned the release party, so there's that and we could always use help spreading the word :)
  17  02:14:54 <nhaines> \o/
  18  02:14:56 <pleia2> we also still need help finding a sponsor for that party for food+drinks
  19  02:15:04 <pleia2> (venue sponsor is secured)
  20  02:15:13 <nhaines> #topic Food and drink sponsor for upcoming release party
  21  02:15:16 <nhaines> Speaking of.  :)
  22  02:15:30 <pleia2> aha, there we go :)
  23  02:15:37 <pleia2> we need about $300 for this
  24  02:16:15 <nhaines> If anyone wants to approach someone for sponsorship but did not get the email with details, that's available here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2016-June/002736.html
  25  02:16:15 <darthrobot> Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Food and beverage sponsor needed: San FranciscoRelease Party in July]
  26  02:16:17 <pleia2> pizza+beverages for 40-50 people, so far 25 have rsvped, and it's still a couple weeks agao
  27  02:16:24 <pleia2> er, away
  28  02:16:49 <pleia2> you can give some details about your company at the event, little cards where the food is, and/or say something before my 16.04 presentation
  29  02:17:44 <nhaines> Any thoughts about using the Ubuntu Community Reimbursement Fund?
  30  02:18:08 <pleia2> yeah, we'll do that as a last resort
  31  02:18:21 <pleia2> I'll give it another week or so, then request
  32  02:19:02 <nhaines> I agree, it's better to have local sponsors if we can find them.
  33  02:19:17 <pleia2> anyway, that's about it, bring your friends, should be fun :)
  34  02:19:32 <nhaines> \o/
  35  02:19:42 <nhaines> #topic Other business
  36  02:20:17 <nhaines> Only thing I can think of lately is that snapd in 16.04 just got some really nice desktop integration features a couple days ago.
  37  02:20:35 <nhaines> So if anyone's been using snappy they should check that out again.  :)
  38  02:20:45 <nhaines> Is there any other business before we wrap things up?
  39  02:20:48 <pleia2> at our last meeting there was an agenda item for talking about our logo, but no one there to talk about it and most thoughts were shared on the agenda page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16June26
  40  02:20:48 <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16June26 - Ubuntu Wiki]
  41  02:21:04 <pleia2> I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to clear up nhaines' concerns
  42  02:21:33 <pleia2> my issue is that, while retro, it's still a little embarrassing for me to show off our old logo at events and thing :)
  43  02:21:45 <pleia2> s/old/current with old branding
  44  02:22:20 <pleia2> the new branding is almost as old as the old branding at this point
  45  02:22:22 <nhaines> I half-meant to try and find my old sketches, but haven't had time (which is the story of my life this month).
  46  02:22:50 <pleia2> heh, I understand that :)
  47  02:23:21 <nhaines> Although at the time they were sort of half-ideas and there was zero interest in changing the logo at all, so I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
  48  02:23:45 <pleia2> it's been a few years, and the old branding really is old now
  49  02:24:11 <pleia2> if I created an etherpad to brain dump concerns that I could craft into an email, would you contribute?
  50  02:24:14 <nhaines> But I do remember that it all turned into a unrecognizeable orange blob.
  51  02:24:21 <pleia2> hehe
  52  02:24:27 <nhaines> Yes I would.
  53  02:24:43 <pleia2> ok http://pad.ubuntu.com/2016-branding
  54  02:24:43 <darthrobot> [R: pad.ubuntu.com] Title: [OpenID Authentication Required]
  55  02:24:56 <nhaines> Well that was quick.  :)
  56  02:25:38 <pleia2> I haz speed
  57  02:26:23 <pleia2> that's all from me
  58  02:26:32 <nhaines> Okay, I might have to get out paper and try and find a pencil then.  For sketches!  Also I now wonder what happened to my colored pencils but I think they were watercolor pencils.
  59  02:27:16 <nhaines> Okay, so looks like I have more to do this week than "Harass people doing actual work about Ubuntu Snap 16 for RPi2."
  60  02:27:37 <nhaines> I think that wraps this up.  Thanks for arranging all the 16.04 talks and the release party.  :)
  61  02:28:29 <pleia2> thanks nhaines
