(08:58:47 PM) cprofitt: ausimage_oui: hal14450_ and I discussed this with ducky_laptop and slick and came to the conclusion that we will do another 'single' location event in Waterloo (08:58:54 PM) cprofitt: I will let ausimage_oui talk a bit about that now (08:58:57 PM) cprofitt: ausimage_oui: you have the floor (08:59:31 PM) ausimage_oui: essential may 1 has been set to be reserved at HI waterloo (09:00:30 PM) ausimage_oui: I think the wife wrote a confusing request as I got an email for clarifications (09:00:37 PM) ausimage_oui: but... (09:00:54 PM) ausimage_oui: the talk is a morning install fest (09:01:07 PM) ausimage_oui: then lunch on your own.... (09:01:26 PM) ausimage_oui: maybe stipends for the volunteers to get lunch (09:01:42 PM) cprofitt: Yes... we are trying for an all-day event... and are we still shooting for an install fest too? (09:02:06 PM) ausimage_oui: that was what has been suggested (09:02:26 PM) ausimage_oui: talks then party will follow (09:02:34 PM) cprofitt: err... (09:02:46 PM) cprofitt: when, if held, would the install fest be? (09:03:05 PM) ausimage_oui: 10-2ish (09:03:17 PM) ausimage_oui: or something (09:03:28 PM) cprofitt: ok (09:04:27 PM) ausimage_oui: we need volunteers and speakers (09:04:42 PM) cprofitt: yes -- May 1st was the date right? (09:04:45 PM) ausimage_oui: cprofitt: you were checking sponsors? (09:04:56 PM) cprofitt: I am working on that... have not heard back from my contact (09:05:09 PM) ausimage_oui: k (09:05:28 PM) cprofitt: I think FOSSCON may possibly take some of the $$ available from sponsors (09:05:44 PM) ausimage_oui: true (09:05:47 PM) cprofitt: Dave123: or marnold any questions or comments? (09:07:44 PM) cprofitt: ok... GNu_Joe your topic (09:07:47 PM) cprofitt: identi.ca (09:08:07 PM) GNu_Joe: It's slow IRC (09:08:28 PM) GNu_Joe: In that you don't have to be online to see each 140 char. post (09:08:44 PM) GNu_Joe: It's twitter with more options (09:09:06 PM) cprofitt: who would 'get' the login information -- officers? (09:09:11 PM) GNu_Joe: Thought it would fill the gap between email and IRC (09:09:43 PM) cprofitt: I do like the idea... and like identi.ca better than twitter... (09:09:46 PM) GNu_Joe: Well one account would follow members and they post one could see all the posts in one RSS feed (09:09:58 PM) cprofitt: but we would need to figure out some logistics. (09:10:12 PM) cprofitt: ah... so a # not an account? (09:10:24 PM) cprofitt: or does identi.ca work differently than twitter? (09:10:54 PM) GNu_Joe: yes so one could follow with a browser or smart phone without having to open an account (09:11:15 PM) cprofitt: but posting would be from one account; yes? (09:11:19 PM) GNu_Joe: only those who wanted to contribute would need to post to there accounts (09:11:20 PM) marnold: no (09:11:41 PM) cprofitt: so, one account aggregates the other users accounts? (09:11:55 PM) GNu_Joe: think a planet but on a smaller level only 140 charters make it fast read (09:12:02 PM) marnold: I'll proably show up a the party though (09:12:28 PM) cprofitt: ok... well... I would like to hear more about identi.ca -- we can discuss a little more (09:12:33 PM) cprofitt: I do like the idea (09:12:42 PM) cprofitt: just not familiar with the setup. (09:13:03 PM) cprofitt: ducky_laptop: ducky - Feb 20th workshop -- are you here? (09:13:14 PM) cprofitt: good to know you will make the party marnold (09:13:17 PM) GNu_Joe: examples this is MHVLUG + friends http://identi.ca/api/statuses/friends_timeline/mhvlug.rss (09:13:50 PM) cprofitt: GNu_Joe: but NY LoCo would make an account to make official 'posts'? (09:13:58 PM) GNu_Joe: This is just MHVLUG as in announcements http://identi.ca/api/statuses/user_timeline/mhvlug.rss (09:14:30 PM) cprofitt: ok... since ducky_laptop is not here we will table his two topics until the next meeting. (09:14:37 PM) cprofitt: on other off-topic list item (09:14:50 PM) cprofitt: I would like to discuss our topics on the mailing list prior to the meeting (09:14:57 PM) GNu_Joe: So if you follow the last one you get just announcements, the other you get everyone that's subscribed in (09:15:07 PM) cprofitt: both to hash things out and raise awareness of the meetings... does that sound good? (09:15:20 PM) cprofitt: GNu_Joe: great idea... we just have to set it up (09:15:21 PM) GNu_Joe: so... with one account you get two feeds ... {done} (09:15:36 PM) ausimage_oui: sounds good cprofitt (09:15:44 PM) GNu_Joe: and you can then embed it into your other sites (09:15:55 PM) cprofitt: sounds great GNu_Joe (09:15:59 PM) cprofitt: we will work on that... (09:16:29 PM) cprofitt: GNu_Joe: are you going to add your LUG events to the wiki page for the LoCo? (09:16:49 PM) GNu_Joe: sure (09:16:57 PM) cprofitt: awesome... (09:17:07 PM) cprofitt: my goal for that is to list all Linux related events / meetings (09:17:15 PM) cprofitt: as a service for people browsing the wiki (09:17:32 PM) cprofitt: any other topics? (09:17:49 PM) GNu_Joe: Going to have a table at FOSSCON right? (09:18:02 PM) cprofitt: depends on the cost... but my plan is yes (09:18:19 PM) cprofitt: we plan on helping to plan and staff it too (09:18:31 PM) GNu_Joe: With all the help your giving them, I can't see why they would charge (09:18:47 PM) ***cprofitt nods (09:18:55 PM) cprofitt: ok... I think the meeting is over... }}}
