   8  02:00:57 <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/16May15 - Ubuntu Wiki]
   9  02:01:19 <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
  10  02:01:43 <nhaines> Are there any events that are being planned at the moment?  (We'll get to release parties soon.)
  11  02:02:35 * ianorlin is not currently planning any
  12  02:03:16 <nhaines> #topic Announcements
  13  02:03:38 <pleia2> nothing from me here eitehr
  14  02:03:52 <nhaines> The Ubuntu Online Summit wrapped up 10 days ago.
  15  02:04:21 <nhaines> It was a fun UOS and there was a lot discussed.  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS put a lot of technolgies into place that are going to build the last stages of convergence.
  16  02:04:48 <nhaines> Tons of plans and roadmaps were revealed, and you can see a track summary session held by all the track leads here: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1605/meeting/22691/track-summaries/
  17  02:04:48 <darthrobot`> Title: [Track Summaries - | The Summit Scheduler]
  18  02:05:07 <nhaines> And you can also view replays of all of the sessions as well.
  19  02:05:28 <nhaines> Are there any other announcements at this time?
  20  02:08:32 <nhaines> Okay then, on to our first agenda item.
  21  02:08:41 <nhaines> #topic 16.04 Release Parties
  22  02:08:45 <pleia2> so, we haven't had any yet
  23  02:08:52 <nhaines> \o/
  24  02:09:05 <pleia2> I couldn't find a venue on release day here in San Francisco, and then had to postpone until I have more time to organize
  25  02:09:20 <pleia2> I don't have time yet, but I hope to get something set up for July or so
  26  02:09:32 <ianorlin> pleia2 good idea
  27  02:10:10 <pleia2> July is when 16.04.1 comes out, which prompts all the upgrades from 14.04, kind of like a 2nd release day ;)
  28  02:10:31 <nhaines> And now things like the Ubuntu Software Store actually work.  :)
  29  02:10:58 <pleia2> hah, right
  30  02:11:10 <pleia2> hopefully we'll know more about the usb sticks for 16.04 release too
  31  02:11:18 <pleia2> there was never an announcement that they were available for locos to request
  32  02:12:29 <pleia2> (no word on dvd availability either, but there were murmurs about them dropping them entirely)
  33  02:12:30 <nhaines> Also they're still not available in the Canonical Store.
  34  02:12:39 <pleia2> yeah, I saw someone complain about that the other day
  35  02:12:59 <nhaines> The last I heard from Canonical, there would be no DVDs, and when I complained in an UOS session on video they didn't seem too sympathetic.  :)
  36  02:13:08 <pleia2> heh
  37  02:13:26 <pleia2> if anyone has any downtown SF venue ideas, feel free to let me know (or reply on list to the thread where we're talking about it)
  38  02:13:32 <nhaines> Although there was talk about producing DVD artwork anyway.
  39  02:13:42 <pleia2> I'll work to reach out to folks and stuff once I have a bit more time
  40  02:13:47 <pleia2> that's all from me
  41  02:14:39 <nhaines> Sounds good.
  42  02:14:41 <DonkeyHotei> why the requirement it be downtown?
  43  02:16:18 <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: it's where I live and I'm running the party
  44  02:16:50 <pleia2> also good public transit from all over the bay
  45  02:17:24 <pleia2> but mostly that I'm the one hauling everything over to the venue, so I don't want to go across town
  46  02:18:46 <nhaines> Seems reasonable enough.  :)
  47  02:19:13 <nhaines> No one's volunteered to run a party in SoCal and I'm overbooked, so at the moment there aren't any plans.
  48  02:19:33 <nhaines> But if somebody *did* want to, they could let me know and I would try to show up with an Ubuntu tablet that does stuff.
  49  02:21:24 <nhaines> Okay, so that's the end of our agenda.
  50  02:21:28 <nhaines> #topic Other Business
  51  02:21:44 <nhaines> Is there anything else anyone wanted to discuss?
  52  02:24:24 <pleia2> nothing here
  53  02:25:08 <nhaines> I'm going to start discussions with a local library about giving a couple of talks on Ubuntu and/or my Ubuntu book.
  54  02:25:13 <DonkeyHotei> the new member moratorium?
  55  02:25:15 <pleia2> great
  56  02:25:16 <nhaines> So I'll keep everyone informed if that goes off.  :)
  57  02:25:23 <nhaines> kicks off!
  58  02:25:30 <nhaines> (I almost said "goes well.")
  59  02:25:32 <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: on launchpad?
  60  02:25:35 <DonkeyHotei> yes
  61  02:25:42 <DonkeyHotei> any updates?
  62  02:25:52 <pleia2> we don't really use launchpad, so I wouldn't go as far as calling it a "new member moratorium"
  63  02:26:13 <pleia2> it's just temporarily paused until some of the wiki stuff can be sorted
  64  02:26:28 <pleia2> (our team is an open team, so spammers were joining to try to get access to the ubuntu wiki)
  65  02:26:47 <nhaines> I will note that this seems to have stopped as far as the joining bit goes.
  66  02:26:54 <pleia2> to be clear, people don't need to be part of the launchpad team, or need to know what launchpad is, to consider themselves a member of this team :)
  67  02:27:18 <nhaines> Yes, anyone in California who wants to promote Ubuntu is welcome.  :)
  68  02:28:59 <nhaines> pleia2: if you wanted to set the team back to open, I think it's probably safe to do so now.
  69  02:29:41 <pleia2> nhaines: I'd rather not, it only stopped because we locked down the wiki even further, as soon as that lets up we'll have to re-mod and I don't have the time to hover over it right now
  70  02:29:58 <nhaines> pleia2: I'm okay with this, too.
  71  02:30:05 <DonkeyHotei> thirded
  72  02:30:22 <lynorian> uh I hate the wiki spammers and can tell from pleia2 reaction at scale was harder
  73  02:30:24 <pleia2> I'll make sure it's on my list when a long-term wiki solution presents itself
  74  02:30:29 <lynorian> pleia2, yeah
  75  02:31:00 <nhaines> We should also maybe discuss changing how Launchpad fits into LoCo membership.
  76  02:31:22 <nhaines> A little later down the road, anyway.
  77  02:31:25 * pleia2 nods
  78  02:31:29 <lynorian> do we need launchpad for say election of new leaders ?
  79  02:31:40 <pleia2> lynorian: good point
  80  02:32:02 <pleia2> and for the flyers and cd sleeves, which allows members direct committing to the repository rather than doing a merge request
  81  02:32:09 <lynorian> can't we manual add people still?
  82  02:32:24 <pleia2> yep
  83  02:32:57 <nhaines> We do *not*, but we use it for such now.
  84  02:32:57 <DonkeyHotei> we could just as easily use the mailing list roster for civs mails for elections
  85  02:33:17 <pleia2> yeah, we could
  86  02:34:49 <nhaines> We'll have to consider that carefully before making any policy changes.
  87  02:36:36 <nhaines> Well, we'll have to see how the wiki drama pans out, too.
  88  02:36:43 * pleia2 nods
  89  02:36:46 <nhaines> Any other comments before we wrap things up?
  90  02:39:05 * lynorian does not have anything
  91  02:39:57 <pleia2> thanks for chairing :)
  92  02:40:11 <nhaines> You're welcome.   :)
  93  02:40:13 <nhaines> Okay then, that wraps up this week's meeting.  We'll see you all on May 29th for our next meeting!
