He's a mac guy 21:17:51 [ r2d2rogers] coool 21:17:58 [ r2d2rogers] also look at gnu radio... 21:18:01 [ r2d2rogers] software radios 21:18:10 [ r2d2rogers] haven't heard about it recently 21:18:15 [ r2d2rogers] but was very cool 21:18:43 [ r2d2rogers] 2008 hamfest April 25 and 26 21:18:49 [ wharp] I think the hamfests are pretty often 21:19:16 [ r2d2rogers] was usually at Kiroli park in west monroe, but that might have just been the field day... 21:19:30 [ wharp] Got a link for their club page? 21:19:42 [ r2d2rogers] wow 21:19:43 [ r2d2rogers] yeah 21:19:58 [ r2d2rogers] was updated yesterday after the weather that went through 21:20:03 [ r2d2rogers] SKYWARN? 21:20:09 [ r2d2rogers] http://www.tchams.org/ 21:20:12 [ wharp] Yep, just checked, he's the current pres 21:20:18 [ r2d2rogers] not the most flashy page 21:20:25 [ wharp] Yeah, this one either 21:20:31 [ wharp] http://www.clarc.us/ 21:20:43 [ Robdgreat] http://www.ares-nela.org/ 21:20:44 [ Robdgreat] ? 21:20:49 [ hfwilke] ooh 21:20:53 [ hfwilke] time for me to go have snack 21:20:54 [ hfwilke] bbl 21:20:56 [ hfwilke] sorry guy 21:20:57 [ hfwilke] a 21:20:59 [ hfwilke] s 21:22:09 [ wharp] Is there anything else we want to say/discuss about the f2fs? 21:22:10 [ Palintheus] Robdgreat: you have any input on the dates location? 21:22:14 [ Palintheus] gsibbery: ^? 21:22:17 [ Robdgreat] hmm 21:22:28 [ gsibbery] yes? 21:22:33 [ wharp] Ya know, there are tools for deciding times and such... 21:22:36 [ gsibbery] just kind of lurking for now. 21:22:38 [ r2d2rogers] 21:22:51 [ r2d2rogers] anything confusing or anything you'd like to talk about gsibbery ? 21:23:12 [ gsibbery] nothing in particular. this is my first meeting so am just kind of seeing what goes on here. 21:23:28 [ wharp] Well this is as much your group as anyones so please speak up 21:23:28 [ r2d2rogers] I think we are trying to get a routine for meetings still 21:23:34 [ r2d2rogers] wharp: +1 21:24:00 [ r2d2rogers] gsibbery: +1 is a method used for voting or indicating agreement in IRC interaction.... 21:24:09 [ Robdgreat] or sometimes ++ 21:24:11 [ r2d2rogers] have you been in IRC much? 21:24:21 [ gsibbery] Have used it before, but not a whole lot. 21:24:34 [ r2d2rogers] we had some issues with the last meeting where we were using too many unfamiliar terms 21:24:49 [ r2d2rogers] So I want to try to be more concious about it, especially in meetings 21:24:58 [ r2d2rogers] have you seen the wiki pages? 21:25:16 [ gsibbery] So far the only thing I heard that I am unfamiliar with is HAM unless youre talking of amateur radio 21:25:26 [ gsibbery] Yes, I took a look. 21:26:01 [ Robdgreat] yeah, ham is amateur radio 21:26:14 [ wharp] There's http://www.timebridge.com/home.php and http://www.doodle.ch/main.html for scheduling things that we might want to look at 21:26:28 [ wharp] now I'm hungry 21:26:55 [ gsibbery] OK, no problem. For scheduling meetings? 21:27:06 [ r2d2rogers] yeah 21:27:16 [ r2d2rogers] or face to face stuff 21:27:30 [ r2d2rogers] right now we aim for two meetings per month 21:27:30 [ wharp] for anything we think it'd be useful for 21:27:47 [ r2d2rogers] the first thursday at 9pm and the third thursday at 10:30 21:27:50 [ wharp] but we've got a schedule for irc meetings already 21:28:18 [ gsibbery] face to face meetings you mean? or have you set that up yet? 21:28:36 [ r2d2rogers] no f2f's are set yet 21:28:56 [ wharp] Generally if we talk about meetings we're talking about the IRC meetings. If its f2f, we mention that usually. 21:29:06 * r2d2rogers nods 21:29:18 [ wharp] Since we're spread out around the state our f2f meetings will be much less frequent 21:29:22 [ gsibbery] ok, no prob. 21:29:34 [ wharp] Unless we do a lot of growing, and even then, those are more likely to be local meetups 21:29:36 [ r2d2rogers] hey kenneth 21:29:40 [ gsibbery] yeah thats what i was thinking, f2f statewide could be a problem 21:29:40 [ r2d2rogers] yup 21:29:47 [ kenneth] hey guys, how's it going. sorry i'm running behind. 21:30:07 [ r2d2rogers] no worries 21:30:33 [ wharp] hey kenneth 21:31:29 [ r2d2rogers] kenneth: so far we're mainly talking face to face ideas 21:31:41 [ wharp] face to face meetings that is 21:31:50 [ wharp] otherwise that might sound....odd 21:32:09 [ r2d2rogers] I'd love one during spring break 21:32:17 [ r2d2rogers] march 24th week 21:32:25 [ r2d2rogers] sorry boys demanding more attention 21:32:35 [ r2d2rogers] wife not back at time I'd expected her 21:32:42 [ r2d2rogers] back later I hope 21:32:45 [ wharp] well any meeting would be on the weekend anyway 21:33:05 [ kenneth] If I remember right, at the last meeting we were also talking about maybe doing it in April when 8.04 was released. 21:33:33 [ wharp] I think we've decided we might try doing 2 21:33:36 [ wharp] one before release 21:33:39 [ wharp] or 21:33:57 [ Palintheus] ok on work comp...pulling up vacation calender 21:34:06 [ wharp] have more local release parties at release, and one before that where we try to get everyone to come 21:34:17 [ kenneth] makes sense. 21:34:55 [ wharp] If we're going to have it down in N.O. I'd like to get someone down there to take the lead on this. 21:35:15 [ hfwilke] seems like the release patry would be the big event for everybody, and the local meetups would be the smaller evnt 21:35:17 [ hfwilke] event 21:35:22 [ wharp] right 21:35:34 [ wharp] except not 21:35:40 [ hfwilke] hmmm 21:35:49 [ wharp] I think the dates just don't work out that way 21:35:51 [ hfwilke] ah 21:35:59 [ hfwilke] ok...I'm afk 21:36:02 [ wharp] I think r2d2rogers wanted to do it end of march 21:36:19 [ hfwilke] k 21:36:30 [ kenneth] in N.O.? 21:36:46 [ wharp] I think that's the plan 21:37:12 [ wharp] and at least a North and South meetup for the 8.04 release 21:38:21 [ wharp] Palintheus: that when everybody else has vacation scheduled? 21:38:44 [ kenneth] i gotcha. makes sense to me. i may not be able to do the march meeting since that's within two weeks of the wife's due date. but the north/south release is very doable. 21:38:57 [ Palintheus] Im looking, access over vpn blows 21:39:04 [ wharp] haha 21:41:27 [ Palintheus] ...still opening 21:41:44 [ wharp] ouch 21:41:56 [ wharp] Ok, well let us know and we'll come back to that. 21:42:00 [ wharp] GPG Key signing 21:42:21 [ wharp] I think we might want to make this just a staple part of any f2f. 21:43:05 [ wharp] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#head-07fb6c57086eca90167f7ba1bd2b1895b6386534 21:43:46 [ Palintheus] ok someone already has 3/24 - 3/31 21:44:17 [ wharp] hm...but if you're on vpn you could always work on the road.... 21:44:19 [ Palintheus] and 4/1 - 4/3 21:44:25 [ Palintheus] doh...4/4 21:44:27 [ wharp] what is open? 21:44:34 [ Palintheus] other than that Im good 21:44:53 [ Palintheus] actually I can't I have vpn just so I can work from home 21:45:07 [ Palintheus] I don't have a company phone to call across the country with 21:45:30 [ wharp] so you can only work from home? is it tied to that ip address? 21:45:49 [ Palintheus] that has nothing to do with me calling across the country ;) 21:46:14 [ wharp] oooh, gotcha 21:46:15 [ wharp] nevermind 21:46:21 [ Robdgreat] pwnt 21:46:31 [ wharp] I keep thinking you just do computer claim stuff and not the calling part 21:46:38 [ wharp] not that I really know much 21:46:43 [ wharp] so back on topic 21:47:02 [ Palintheus] k 21:47:05 [ r2d2rogers] do we need a generic face to face agenda 21:47:13 [ r2d2rogers] including gpg keysigning? 21:47:21 [ Palintheus] has everyone had a chance to look at the gpg signing page I linked to in the agenda 21:47:22 [ Palintheus] ? 21:47:29 [ Robdgreat] not yet 21:47:29 [ wharp] well if we had regular f2f's maybe 21:47:35 [ r2d2rogers] crap 21:47:38 [ r2d2rogers] back later 21:47:55 [ wharp] lol 21:48:50 [ wharp] so you'd have to go the 22nd of march or earlier, or 12th of april or later? 21:49:41 [ wharp] I have looked at the page, but its been a while 21:50:40 [ Palintheus] correct on the dates 21:51:06 [ Palintheus] I would prefer april personally, but Im game to anything I that is agreed on 21:51:31 [ Palintheus] bbi10 21:51:39 [ wharp] [Action Item] r2d2rogers: change calendar to not have Informal Discussion Night on meeting nights 21:53:36 [ wharp] so gsibbery what exactly are your expectations or wants with regards to the LoCo? 21:54:17 [ gsibbery] I have been using Linux for some years and wanted to get more involved with Ubuntu so dropped by the meeting to see what goes on here. 21:54:26 [ wharp] I see 21:54:40 [ wharp] are you active in the community otherwise? 21:54:44 [ gsibbery] I am mainly interested in training new users since I think Ubuntu is the best bet for general use 21:55:10 [ wharp] Gotcha 21:55:21 [ wharp] Have you looked around our wiki? 21:55:27 [ gsibbery] not so much online. I do help people around my neighborhood. I am testing Hardy now and doing bug reports as I find them 21:55:30 [ gsibbery] yes, I have 21:55:39 [ wharp] ok 21:55:46 [ kenneth] where are you from gsibbery? 21:55:54 [ gsibbery] Plaquemine. 21:56:02 [ gsibbery] About 17 miles south of BR 21:56:25 [ wharp] One of the things we need to work on is participation. We've got some good ideas, but not much follow through at the moment. 21:56:31 [ wharp] Need to build up some momentum. 21:56:50 [ gsibbery] Yes, i can see that. seems a bit slow so far. 21:57:17 [ gsibbery] Participation in what though precisely? What are the goals you have in mind? 21:57:18 [ wharp] Well we didn't send out emails or invites for the meeting. 21:57:31 [ gsibbery] In the user community in general or something more specific? 21:57:35 [ wharp] the goals you have in mind 21:57:59 [ gsibbery] Yes, I notice no mails were sent. 21:58:25 [ wharp] at the last meeting we discussed some subteams and I think that's one of the things we need to work on at the moment 21:58:36 [ kenneth] one thing that i'm curious about is what are the specific goals for two kinds of users: those using Ubuntu inside the group that may not understand it or need help with it, and those outside of the group that we're educating about OSS. 21:58:39 [ wharp] at team to make sure things are taken care of for the meeting 21:59:23 [ wharp] well the thing is, we have goals as a group, but that's because our members want to see them accomplished 21:59:31 [ wharp] so the goals are really the goals of our members 22:00:08 [ gsibbery] As to the latter, have you thought about library projects? Getting this software to libraries so they can hand them out or something like that? It occurs to me that most people may still not know what Linux is 22:00:18 [ wharp] that's one thing we have discussed 22:00:37 [ wharp] I know there was a project in BR along those lines that's since fizzled and I've seen reference to another project on the wiki 22:01:08 [ gsibbery] Yes, the BRLUG had some such project but am not sure how active it is. 22:01:11 [ wharp] kenneth, gsibbery a lot of this just hasn't been decided or talked about yet. There isn't a lot going on on either the mailing list or the forum 22:01:22 [ wharp] the project isn't active anymore, I asked about that 22:01:41 [ kenneth] there's always viral marketing type stuff. get business cards printed with, perhaps, 5 principals/benefits of open source, and a link to the louisiana loco website or the ubuntu site. 22:01:45 [ wharp] As far as users within the group, we talked about a new memeber subteam 22:01:57 [ kenneth] and distribute them at coffee shops and such. 22:01:59 [ gsibbery] Ok, that seems to be a good way to get people to learn about the software. 22:02:09 [ wharp] some of that we can get from system76 I think 22:02:42 [ kenneth] what would we hope to accomplish with the new member team? as a new member myself, i think one thing that i've had trouble with is that there's several sources of info for the team. 22:03:22 [ wharp] well as a new member yourself, that would be a great start for the team. What do you see as needing to be done to make new members more at home so to speak. 22:03:23 [ kenneth] although the wiki seems to be the most up to date, there's also the site off of axxium's site, and when you search for louisiana loco the second result that comes up is the forum post about the team. 22:03:48 [ wharp] I do agree, there are a lot of resources that seem to be redundant 22:05:06 [ kenneth] maybe consolidating the info somehow. i've not messed with wiki's too much, but is there a way to syndicate some of the content from the wiki onto axxium's site? axxium's site looks very sharp, from a marketing perspective. 22:05:16 [ wharp] But people are going to have to tell us what's working and what's not working before we can do something about it 22:05:33 [ wharp] I'm not sure, I think it might be drupal 22:05:52 [ wharp] or xoops 22:06:00 [ kenneth] people are also going to have to find out about us so that they can have the opportunity to say what's not working. 22:06:29 [ kenneth] has any thought been given to registering a domain name specific to the loco? louisianaubuntu.org or something? 22:06:40 [ wharp] we haven't talked about that I don't think 22:06:48 [ hfwilke] xoops 22:07:12 [ hfwilke] I think you get an ubuntu site when you get approved 22:07:23 [ wharp] I think the website will mostly be a collection of all the tools/resources we have 22:08:02 [ hfwilke] the biggest issue I see with the website is that axxium has to maintain it 22:08:06 [ hfwilke] the wiki we get to update 22:08:12 [ wharp] yeah, that's a problem 22:08:14 [ hfwilke] but the website is slick 22:08:24 [ wharp] r2d2rogers doesn't have access? 22:08:31 [ hfwilke] not that I know of 22:08:33 [ wharp] hm 22:08:34 [ hfwilke] but maybe 22:08:37 [ wharp] we might need to check on that 22:08:58 [ wharp] [Action Item] wharp: Check on who is able to update the website 22:09:11 [ hfwilke] I do like the idea of some of the wiki content syndicated to axxium's site 22:09:46 [ hfwilke] that would give anyody the opportunity to post news items, or some such 22:09:47 [ kenneth] i guess i'm still thinking mainly of marketing at this point. what do people need to know to be convinced to try ubuntu? 1) it's got a live cd and you don't have to fud up your system. 2) it's got synaptec that you can use to do one click installs of most software. 3) these are the ubuntu equivalents to the windows software you're used to. 4) here's the philosophical principals of open source and why it's a good thing (tm) 22:10:00 [ wharp] kenneth: there is a stub for the new memeber team page here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LouisianaTeam/NewMemberTeam 22:11:09 [ gsibbery] let them know about alternative software if they are used to Windows. 22:11:12 [ wharp] obviously marketing is something we need to do, but I think we need to have our ducks in a row so that we're able to provide a consistent, positive experience 22:11:15 [ gsibbery] http://www.linuxalt.com/ or something like this 22:11:48 [ kenneth] that's a great resource gsibbery 22:11:51 [ wharp] kenneth: that sounds like something that might be a good forum post. Ways we can market Ubuntu 22:12:25 [ kenneth] i'll make a note to myself to post something about it 22:12:32 [ wharp] Ok 22:12:54 [ wharp] Have either ya'll looked at our proposed new front page for the wiki? 22:13:00 [ wharp] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LouisianaTeam/foo 22:13:08 [ kenneth] yeah you sent me a link before to it. 22:13:10 [ hfwilke] bbiab 22:14:10 [ wharp] We need to make it as easy as possible for people to join the LoCo, find a place they can contribute, and hit the ground running. 22:14:11 [ Palintheus] and back sorry all 22:14:15 [ wharp] wb 22:15:28 [ wharp] I think we need to send out a call for people to join the subteams. 22:15:34 [ kenneth] yeah. 22:15:58 [ Palintheus] r2d2rogers does have access to the site 22:15:59 [ wharp] Maybe a post to the mailing list with a description of what we'd like each of them to be as a starding point 22:16:03 [ wharp] I thought so 22:16:59 [ wharp] We have a web subteam so maybe they (meaning r2d2rogers) could work on syncing up some of the content? 22:17:46 [ kenneth] It may not help showing what we need on the home page, as well as the links to the sub teams. maybe having some specific tasks that need to be filled? A How Can You Help section? 22:18:33 [ Palintheus] I think we should look at several of the really active/successful teams such as MA, Chicago, CO, and ....(trying to think) 22:19:18 [ Palintheus] BOOM 22:19:26 [ boomer] allo allo 22:20:11 [ wharp] hey boomer 22:20:36 [ kenneth] we also need to let people know that they can get something out of the group. more than, "Hey join us, now get to work!" I guess that's where the new member team would come in, but it seems important to provide a resource for those struggling with Ubuntu. 22:21:00 [ wharp] well that's why there's a section with reasons why they should join 22:21:01 [ Palintheus] right, provide some support and get them interested 22:21:27 [ wharp] BUt I think we should list that there are ways they can help out on the main page 22:21:37 [ kenneth] I think it's important to make people not feel like they have to be heavy Linux users or highly experienced to be able to get something out of the group. that might intimidate people into not joining. 22:21:46 [ kenneth] oh yeah, agreed. 22:23:26 [ wharp] well anybody with an account can edit the wiki 22:23:34 [ wharp] and /foo isn't linked to anywhere so add your ideas 22:24:07 [ wharp] rather nothing links to it 22:24:59 [ kenneth] when is /foo expected to go live? 22:25:05 [ wharp] when we get it finished 22:25:19 [ wharp] its pretty open ended 22:25:27 [ kenneth] ic 22:25:32 [ Palintheus] I haven't looked at in a while, /me fails 22:25:42 [ wharp] lol 22:25:51 [ r2d2rogers] hullo 22:25:57 [ r2d2rogers] wife arrived 22:26:55 [ Palintheus] \o/ 22:26:59 [ r2d2rogers] I'd like to see each of us list what we are good with so new people know who would be a good person to ask 22:27:02 [ wharp] we're discussing the wiki and new users 22:27:06 [ r2d2rogers] Palintheus: yeah no kidding 22:27:13 [ r2d2rogers] she forgot her cell phone 22:27:19 * r2d2rogers nods 22:27:20 [ wharp] r2d2rogers: on the forum maybe? 22:27:26 [ r2d2rogers] cool, reading back 22:27:30 [ r2d2rogers] that would be good 22:27:33 [ kenneth] yeah. that's a good idea. 22:27:45 [ Robdgreat] r2d2rogers: new web team member ;) 22:27:54 [ r2d2rogers] wharp: random as I seem ML up there 22:27:58 [ r2d2rogers] any luck there? 22:28:04 [ wharp] what? 22:28:07 * r2d2rogers goes to read back 22:28:12 [ r2d2rogers] on the maling list admin? 22:28:18 [ wharp] Oh, haven't heard anything yet 22:28:31 [ Palintheus] just got the notification Robdgreat ;) 22:28:46 [ wharp] at this point I think they'll just get moved into LP and that's about the only way we'll get admin of it back 22:29:21 [ Palintheus] thats probably a few months away though, I think we just need to start bugging people 22:29:29 [ wharp] Ok, anybody want to start up that post on members and how they can help out? 22:29:36 [ Palintheus] Ive seen Zelut get stuff done in a week or two on ML junk 22:29:44 [ wharp] Really? 22:29:55 [ wharp] maybe I'll hop in their irc chan tomorrow and ask about it 22:29:59 [ Palintheus] yeah, ping him in -us a few times a week and it might speed it up 22:30:51 [ kenneth] i can make the post. 22:31:03 [ wharp] I don't see a ticket in rt yet 22:31:05 [ wharp] ok 22:31:10 [ r2d2rogers] I do have access to the web site 22:31:19 [ r2d2rogers] there was early discussion about a domain name 22:31:25 [ r2d2rogers] but that was tabled at that time 22:31:30 [ wharp] [Action Item] kenneth Forum post re users and their areas of interests 22:31:41 [ wharp] reason? 22:31:56 [ r2d2rogers] in favor of the site we were working on at laubuntu.axxium.us 22:31:59 [ Palintheus] :todo add add mootbot capabilities to ATDT 22:32:00 [ ATDT] Palintheus: The operation succeeded.
