20:01 < Iowan> Bathroom break
20:01 < Iowan> PRESENT
20:01 < Iowan> Guess it's officially time to begin!
20:02 < AtomicSpark> Indeed.
20:02 < AtomicSpark> I was going to highlight the entire channel, but I don't remember the command.
20:02 < Iowan> Others interested in logging in?
20:02 < Bynw> can anyone say they are present or are there rules for that :o)
20:03 < AtomicSpark> Bynw: The point of you saying PRESENT is to let us know you are here and to help logging later.
20:03 < Iowan> Only those who are here - which kinda makes me wonder if I qualify...
20:03  * kristau is present ;)
20:04 < Iowan> Four and counting...
20:04 < Bynw> PRESENT :o)
20:04  * AtomicSpark nudges paultag
20:04 < paultag> AtomicSpark, howdy
20:04 < paultag> AtomicSpark, what's up
20:04 < AtomicSpark> paultag: Meeting!
20:04 < paultag> w00t :)
20:04 < paultag> I'll be here for another 10
20:04 < paultag> Let's do this thang

20:06 -!- linuxuser21 [~601f08d0@gateway/web/freenode/x-dzmelbhegmiidaav] has joined #ubuntu-us-ia
20:06 < AtomicSpark> Well I'd like welcome you all to the 2nd meeting of the Iowa LoCo.
20:07 < AtomicSpark> Since KWierso isn't here, we'll have to skip his agenda until he shows up.
20:08 < Iowan> AtomicSpark: First two are yours
20:08 < AtomicSpark> Yes, but I don't want to have all of the attention!

Anchor(target)

20:09 < AtomicSpark> But anyways, my first agenda is to remind everyone of the Ubuntu Global Jam training session tomorrow at 2100 UTC
20:09 < AtomicSpark> Which is...
20:09  * AtomicSpark does math
20:09 < Iowan> 3:00
20:09 < AtomicSpark> Yes, 3:00 PM
20:10 < AtomicSpark> The main topic is "how to run a jam". I assume we'll be the perfect audience for that since it will be our first time running one.
20:10 < AtomicSpark> There will be more specific sessions later on it seems.
20:10 < linuxuser21> Hello, please go easy, this is my first time doing something like this
20:11 < Iowan> AtomicSpark:  Did you happen to attend the last one - what to expect?
20:11 < AtomicSpark> Iowan: I only caught the tail end of it. It was pretty dead. Nobody showed up. Guess I was too late. ;3
20:11 < AtomicSpark> linuxuser21: To an irc meeting? You're free to randomly join.
20:12 < AtomicSpark> linuxuser21: it's just a logged guided chat session. i suppose you can put it that way.
20:12 < linuxuser21> Yeah, this is my first time.
20:12 < Iowan> linuxuser21: We're gonna claim you PRESENT!
20:12 < AtomicSpark> Wonderful!
20:13 < linuxuser21> I got an invite to the Iowa Loco and  wanted to get involved.
20:13 < Iowan> linuxuser21: Hope that was my invint :)
20:13 < AtomicSpark> But anyways, it would be good to have everyone attend that meeting tomorrow. It takes place in #ubuntu-locoteams.
20:13 -!- Amaranth [~travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
20:14 < paultag> AtomicSpark, Iowan, I am on my way out. Can you PM me the log URL later on? Thanks you two. You guys rock. Carry on!
20:14 < linuxuser21> @Iowan yup, that was your invite.
20:14 < AtomicSpark> paultag: It'll be on the wiki.
20:14 < AtomicSpark> paultag: But yes, will do.
20:14 -!- Amaranth [~travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-us-ia
20:14 < Iowan> paultag:  Should be an email link, too
20:14 < AtomicSpark> Iowan and his 1 min emails ):
20:15 < Iowan> One-liners...
20:15 < Iowan> Any burning questions we should get answered tomorrow night - or wait for KWierso?
20:16 < AtomicSpark> This is how I imagine it will happen. We'll meet locally (if possible) and set up some computers. We'll join irc channels and perhaps install Lucid.
20:16 < AtomicSpark> Then we'll get ideas on what needs testing, etc.
20:16 < AtomicSpark> (this is for the jam, not tomorrows meeting)
20:17 < kristau> What types of "bugs" need fixing? Any non-coder type stuff? Documentation?
20:17 < Iowan> Any idea if CD's will be available for us "unofficial" LoCo's?
20:17 < AtomicSpark> Iowan: Probably not. We'll just burn a few or run virtual machines.
20:18 < Bynw> unfortunately that jam takes place during the day ... will be at work :(
20:18 < AtomicSpark> Bynw: The meeting!
20:18 < AtomicSpark> Bynw: The jam is in March
20:18 < Bynw> Oh ok
20:18 < Bynw> whatever takes place at 3 tomorrow :o)
20:18 < AtomicSpark> Oh I suppose I should rediscuss that since we have different people here.
20:19 < linuxuser21> This is probably going to sound really noobish, but, what is this Jam thing?
20:19 < AtomicSpark> The Ubuntu Global Jam is this thing were everyone gets online and helps make Ubuntu better!
20:19 < AtomicSpark> It welcomes all types of users. You can bug test, help write documentation, fix bugs, etc.
20:19 < AtomicSpark> Read more here (later) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam
20:20 < Iowan> Is the Jam a pre-quel to the release party?
20:20 < linuxuser21> thanks for the link.  I'll be sure to read that.
20:20 < AtomicSpark> But what we want to do is get the CR/IC people togeather in person. DSM is on their own but we're encouraging them to do the same.
20:21 < AtomicSpark> Iowan: Lucid comes out in the middle of April, so yes.
20:21 < kristau> Are there locations set up yet for DSM and CR/IC?
20:21 < Iowan> Cherokee is at liberty...
20:22 < linuxuser21> I'm up for that one.  lol
20:22 < AtomicSpark> kristau: No. I am working on the Kirkwood Community College in IC.
20:22  * kristau is in the DSM area, BTW.
20:22 < AtomicSpark> kristau: Wonderful!

Anchor(target)

20:23 < AtomicSpark> This brings me to my next agenda...
20:23 < Iowan> Volunteer?
20:23 < AtomicSpark> Des Moines people! We need you! You need to get together and have your own little party.
20:23  * Bynw is a des moines people
20:23 < AtomicSpark> This will be a test to help develop your own little ReLoCo (regional/really local community team)
20:24 < AtomicSpark> We (Iowan and myself) need someone in DSM to step up and be a temporary contact person for this event.
20:24 < kristau> Sadly, my March 26-28th is already booked, but I may be able to help in the lead-up.
20:24 < Bynw> ditto
20:24 < AtomicSpark> kristau: Shame. Well there is always the release party!
20:24 < Iowan> Ground-work will be appreciated - site, etc.
20:24 < Bynw> that's a bad weekend ... already have many plans
20:26 < Iowan> If nothing else, we are building a list of DM'ers
20:26 < AtomicSpark> This is true.
20:27 < AtomicSpark> In any case, we will eventually need a Des Moines "subteam".
20:27 < AtomicSpark> For the other half of Iowa.
20:28 < AtomicSpark> That's pretty much all I have for my agenda. Iowan do you have anything to add?
20:29 < Iowan> I suppose "we" could touch on the 3rd agenda item - members  locations on map
20:30 < Iowan> It'd be "handy" to help up plan events if we know who is where
20:30 < kristau> I need to sign up for the group. Will do that shortly, but I'm lazy and gnupg takes a bit of effort ;P
20:30 -!- Amaranth [~travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
20:31 < AtomicSpark> Yes. If you're paranoid, you don't have to make it exact. Just zoom out and blindly click on your city.
20:31 < AtomicSpark> You can find the page here https://launchpad.net/~<username>/+editlocation
20:31 < AtomicSpark> Make sure you uncheck the hide option.
20:31 < Iowan> AtomicSpark: Do you have the membership page handy?
20:32 < AtomicSpark> Also a reminder to have your full name as your display name on LP. Many people do this, and it'll help us figure out who is who.
20:32 < AtomicSpark> Here is our member page if you haven't signed up https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-ia
20:32 < AtomicSpark> Just click join team (or something like that) on the right side of the page
20:35 < Iowan> That's pretty much the agenda for this evening.
20:35 < Iowan> Speaking of which - the agenda is open for members to include items
20:36 < AtomicSpark> And discuss them!
20:36 < AtomicSpark> Tis the reason for the meetings.
20:36 -!- F0o [~chatzilla@173-27-165-168.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu-us-ia
20:36 < Iowan> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IowaTeam/Meetings Check here - there should be a fresh entry each week
20:37 -!- Amaranth [~travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-us-ia
20:37 < AtomicSpark> Yes yes. I suppose we can end the meeting and just make fun of F0o for being late again.
20:37 < Iowan> Last call for members wishing to be counted PRESENT
20:38 < F0o> present
20:38 < linuxuser21> present
20:38 < jimerickson> present
20:38 < Iowan> Thanks F0o - you take a hint very well!
20:38 < Iowan> Othre, too!
20:38 < F0o> Iowan:  im slow i know
20:38 < Iowan> Slow is better than absent!
20:39 < Iowan> Other "business" requiring discussion?
20:40 < Iowan> Second meeting is "officially" closed - social hour begins!
