[02:06] welcome RogueScholar :) [02:06] so we start these things off by talking about upcoming events [02:06] #topic Upcoming events [02:06] Much obliged, Pleia2. Glad to be here. :) [02:07] I don't have anything scheduled for San Francisco at the moment (I've been too busy) but there is a local who is interested in helping out and to whom I owe an email [02:07] the monthly Ubuntu Hours in Pasadena are still happening, can see details and RSVP on our meetup page https://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/ [02:07] Title: [Ubuntu California LoCo (Los Angeles, CA)| Meetup] [02:07] next one is on May 11th, they happen right before the San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group meeting, so it's a good night [02:08] I think that's all we really have event-wise [02:08] #topic Any other business [02:08] this is the wild west part of the meeting :) [02:09] RogueScholar: what brings you here? [02:10] Well I've been in IT for going on a couple decades now, and I feel like part of my professional development at this stage needs to be promoting the causes that I care about. [02:10] that's great to hear, using Ubuntu where you work? [02:11] Haha, don't I wish. No I get to save that enjoyment for my personal PCs and homelab. [02:11] ah, fair enough, I remember those days [02:12] Truth be told, I'm not much of a Linux veteran, I think I onboarded with 14.04. [02:12] that's ok, always people coming and going from linux spheres, so it's nice to see new blood [02:13] Thanks, I'm relieved to see that there's not a certain threshold of prior involvement in order to participate here. [02:13] not at all, I always like to say that if you've been using Ubuntu a day longer than someone else, you have something to teach ;) [02:14] In regards to your mention of a San Francisco event, I too am a NorCal person, though a few hours north of SF, so please keep me in mind for activities up in this area. [02:14] a lot of our month to month events are pretty basic, "Ubuntu Hours" where we just go to a coffee shop and chat about the latest Ubuntu news and projects we're working on (both at work and as hobbies) [02:14] oh, good to know, have you been to North Bay LUG before? it's in Sebastopol http://nblug.org/ [02:14] Title: [North Bay Linux Users’ Group] [02:15] No I haven't, but I know Sebastopol very well, it's barely a couple hours away. I'm bookmarking them as we chat. :) [02:15] nice folks, often have super interesting meetings [02:15] I wish I could make it up, but from SF it's quite the hike on a week night [02:15] Oh you're based up north as well? [02:16] I live in downtown SF [02:16] In looking over the group page it seemed there was a heavy slant towards SoCal, so I just kind of assumed the leadership probably resided there as well. [02:17] we're pretty spread out :) [02:17] Well if I can drive to Sebastopol from Fort Bragg, then you can make the trek too. ;) [02:17] haha [02:18] I also work with a non-profit based in the bay area, Partimus.org, so some of our time is spent working with low-incoming housing facilities and schools (though fewer schools now) to put Linux-based machines in for residents and students [02:19] I'd say right now that's where most of my effort is focused Ubuntu-wise locally, instead of Ubuntu Hours [02:19] Oh no kidding?? I was just reading about their work not long ago, I wish I could recall where. [02:22] alright, I think we'll wrap up this meeting [02:22] usually nhandler and lynorian at least are also here, but quiet night :) [02:23] err, nhaines [02:23] It happens; spring is in the air. [02:23] but sometimes nhandler too! he's in london right now though [02:23] hope you got out to enjoy the weather today :) was gorgeous down here [02:24] and with that, let's conclude!
