<itnet7> [TOPIC] Florida LoCo Birthday Bash - -- mhall119 2009-11-02 21:10:47
<Michelle_Qimo> mhall119 is dealing with Kid Two at the moment
<itnet7> Ah!!!
<Michelle_Qimo> So...
<Michelle_Qimo> oh, wait, here he is
<mhall119> sorry
<mhall119> the time changes always make bedtimes worses
<mhall119> my typing suffers too
<itnet7> lol
<itnet7> You have the floor mhall119 !
<mhall119> okay, so I assume everybody knows about the birthday bash
<mhall119> http://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Linux/calendar/10712190/
<mhall119> there have been some different times posted in different places, so I just wanted to clarigy
<mhall119> clarify even
<mhall119> we plan on eating about 5pm
<mhall119> we're telling people to start arriving at about noon
<mhall119> to give us all lots of time for socializing before dinner
<mhall119> since I know some of you will have a long drive home after dinner
<itnet7> Welcome aboard nejode we are in a team meeting (just to let you know, and you are welcome to join in the discussion)
<mhall119> but really, you can some whenever you want
<mhall119> I know there are some people coming over early to help Michelle_Qimo bake goodies for the rest of us
<nejode> thanks...
<Michelle_Qimo> bring a side dish, if you can, and lawn chairs if you have them
<mhall119> we've got a few high-carb side dishes already in the works
<dorgan> :D
<mhall119> so any veggie dishes would be good
<mhall119> we have like 30 pounds of meat for the smoker
<mhall119> so don't worry about that
<mhall119> we'll be providing some sodas
<crashsystems> what is the optimal time of arrival?
<mhall119> alcoholic beverages are welcome, but we won't be providing any
<mhall119> (we blew out booze money on more meat)
<mhall119> crashsystems: any time between noon and 5pm is optimal
<mhall119> if you're going to be drinking alcohol, please be respectful, this is a family gathering, I don't want anyone drunk
<govatent> any idea on when you plan to wind things down?
* haykuro passes out
<mhall119> because we will draw funny faces on you with permanent marker
<itnet7> rofl haykuro !
<haykuro> ;)
<mhall119> govatent: sometime after dinner I would imagine
<crashsystems> and take pictures
<mhall119> finally, we have an extra room and an air mattress if someone needs to stay over night
<itnet7> mhall119: lol
<Michelle_Qimo> Everyone is welcome to stay 'til whenever. There's some crashing space available
<mhall119> or two someones, if you really like eachother
<dhillon-v10> lol
<jledbetter> woo hoo!
<mhall119> it's offered on a first come first served basis
<Lupine> snuggling?
<Michelle_Qimo> snuggling is always an option
<mhall119> Lupine: that's optional
<mhall119> spooning costs extra
<itnet7> Just so everyone knows over 57 people will potentially attend
<mhall119> if everyone who says they're coming actually comes
<crashsystems> if halls.OverNightGuests >= 2: crashsystems.print "I call floor"
<itnet7> Lupine: needs to be held, as he's all alone up in Mass.
<mhall119> crashsystems: we also have the couch
<Michelle_Qimo> crashsystems: your space is held.
<crashsystems> that works too
<itnet7> lol crashsystems !
<Lupine> yeah...kinda sad...get lots of pictures for me, won't be leaving MA until late Sat night :(
<mhall119> which is only slightly more comfortable than the floor
<mhall119> Lupine: :(
<mhall119> I'll send itnet7 home with a care package for you
<Michelle_Qimo> Oh, and just to serve as a reminder - play nice everyone.
<Lupine> ty <3
<mhall119> no guarantees it'll survive until the following Monday
<itnet7> lol
<Michelle_Qimo> we've got at least two guests (our son included) that have high functioning autism. Mind your manners.
<itnet7> Oh, of course Michelle_Qimo
<Michelle_Qimo> :-)
<mhall119> also, just to let everyone know
<mhall119> we now have a black labrador
<mhall119> not just the two little dogs
<mhall119> but he will be in his kennel for the duration of the party
<itnet7> All I can think of when someone says labrador is Cheech and Chong
<dorgan> lol
<crashsystems> at least it is not a laberdoodle :P
<itnet7> [TOPIC]Ubuntu Learning Project -- mhall119 2009-11-03 18:06:12
<mhall119> okay, moving on
<Michelle_Qimo> moving on
<mhall119> I got to sit in on pleia2's session for Ubuntu Open Week today
* mhall119 should have been working
<mhall119> oh well
<itnet7> lol
<jledbetter> Great session, worth a little less work ;)
<dhillon-v10> mhall119, so how did it go
<mhall119> anyway, she's involved in a really neat project to get community instruction together for teaching people Ubuntu
<mhall119> the log of the session is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekKarmic/Learning
<mhall119> the project wiki is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/
<mhall119> they're wanting to get more contributions
<zoopster> I'm here \o/
<mhall119> I've already linked my hacklet from ubuntu-fl.org for doctormo to include
<itnet7> Hey there zoopster!!
<zoopster> hey
<Michelle_Qimo> Hey zoopster!
<mhall119> I also linked tiemonster's macro for OpenOffice.org
<mhall119> it would be nice if we could all contribute a little to helping them build up this project
<crashsystems> so this project is about having in-person training sessions?
<mhall119> there's a very low barrier to entry
<zoopster> hi Michelle_Qimo
<Michelle_Qimo> is there anything useful I can contribute?
<mhall119> crashsystems: it's making the course material, which will then be converted into HTML, IRC lessons (like for UOW), moodle courses, or printouts
<mhall119> Michelle_Qimo: yes
<mhall119> they need some outlines for what instructions are needed
<dhillon-v10> mhall119, can you list out some of the topics that we can do
<mhall119> some people have contributed ODF material that needs to be converted to asciidoc for them
<itnet7> They should also involve new contributors to kind of "beta" test new courses
<mhall119> even just giving them reference material to tutorials or instructions that you've written of found elsewhere
<itnet7> or new users
<itnet7> I meant
<mhall119> their IRC channel is #ubuntu-learning
<mhall119> you can also contribute by simply reviewing lessons others have posted for accuracy and clarity
<itnet7> Nice!
<mhall119> there's really a lot that anybody can do
<Michelle_Qimo> mhall119, you know what my skillset is. Get me materials, and I'll review and edit.
<mhall119> I know some people in here (who aren't currently here) have held packaging lessons, those should be contributed
<mhall119> Michelle_Qimo: will do
<itnet7> and Lupine's bug triaging lesson!!
<itnet7> sweet!
<mhall119> pleia2 and doctormo are running the show, so if you want to know where you can help go chat with them
<mhall119> itnet7: yes!
<Lupine> yup, I'm checking out the wiki to see what I can offer
<mhall119> so, go /join #ubuntu-learning
<mhall119> read the logs from the talk (there are links at the bottom too)
<mhall119> and lets make this project really rock
<itnet7> cool!
<mhall119> if you know of any tutorials or instructions online, go ahead and link to them at the bottom of their wiki pages
* Michelle_Qimo adds another channel to lurk in to her list.
<mhall119> they've got it broken apart into sections
<mhall119> so pick whatever seems most suited, and add your link
<itnet7> [TOPIC] Talk about South Florida event - -- alanbir 2009-11-03 19:35:47
<itnet7> Oops
<mhall119> if you have some time, write a quick instruction on some topic that interests you, or some package that interests you

<mhall119> does it have wifi?
<govatent> yes.
<mhall119> do they allow food?
<govatent> wifi and more eth ports than you can count
<itnet7> mhall119: what is wifi?
<itnet7> :-P
<govatent> and yes food is not a problem
<govatent> it's our IT lab
<mhall119> itnet7: I dunno, some witch-craft stuff
<mhall119> govatent: win!
<itnet7> mhall119: lol
<govatent> my question is, how many would actually attend an event in south florida?
<mhall119> but I can't make it
<govatent> any takers?
<mhall119> ropetin

<govatent> sat tends to be the best for people right?
<mhall119> zbrown: is also from down there

<govatent> i need to sit down with my professor and found out exactly what they want
<itnet7> if there is time or if there isn't too much help needed
* Michelle_Qimo would come if mhall119 would arrange kid-care for the weekend...
<Michelle_Qimo> just sayin

<itnet7> do you know if some students from teh school would also attend?
<Lupine> please
<govatent> I will try and setup a poll with students this week
<govatent> i am sure i can get a nice local turn out from the IT degree students
<govatent> programmers and network majors
<mhall119> govatent: does your school have convocations?
<dhillon-v10> govatent, if its working with some college people then I will seriously think about coming to this event
