[19:08] <JackWat> here pradeep https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NorthCarolinaTeam/Meeting
[19:08] <_marx_> the wiki needs to be updated on that
[19:08] <JackWat> oh
[19:08] <_marx_> pradeep: do you have a NC connection?
[19:08] <pradeep_> nope
[19:08] <pradeep_> am nigerian like i said
[19:09] <pradeep_> saw a notice on twitter an followed it here
[19:09] <_marx_> ah
[19:09] <akgraner> I twitter about the meetings..:-)
[19:11] * boredandblogging (n=nali@ubuntu/member/boredandblogging) has joined #ubuntu-us-nc
[19:11] <akgraner> so who is here for the LoCo meeting
[19:11] <JackWat> <

[19:11] <JackWat> and _marx_
[19:11] <pradeep_> me
[19:11] <JackWat> so all 3 of us
[19:11] <akgraner> me too
[19:12] <_marx_> [TOPIC] bug jams
[19:12] <MootBot> New Topic: bug jams
[19:12] <_marx_> location is a problem in my area
[19:13] <akgraner> for global jam or just in general
[19:13] <_marx_> both
[19:13] <akgraner> there are places in Fuquay that have free wifi that can do it... and if people want I can host a few people here at my house global Jam day
[19:14] <akgraner> still looking for a location in this area that has free wifi and by this area I mean Western NC
[19:14] <_marx_> finding a wireless spot isn't terribly difficult
[19:14] <pradeep_> sorry would have to listen and may contribute to the meeting too
[19:14] <_marx_> well here it isn't terribly difficult
[19:15] <akgraner> no it's just talking over for a day...
[19:15] <akgraner> pradeep, yep you can contribute...:-)
[19:15] <pradeep_> ok
[19:16] <akgraner> So I was thinking that I could scout out a location (other than my house) here in the area where we can set up shop for a day and squash some bugs.
[19:16] <_marx_> I suppose i'm wishing for a spot that has pc's running ubuntu or that would be fairly easy to bring in a pc
[19:16] <akgraner> I talked to The 1927 Lake Lure in and we can have it there
[19:16] <_marx_> not limiting the event to laptops
[19:17] <akgraner> Inn not in I meant
[19:17] <akgraner> they have some meeting rooms that we can use..
[19:17] <_marx_> oh that's a pretty place
[19:17] <akgraner> I think so but it's only 20 mins from the house so I am partial to it...
[19:18] <akgraner> What about areas for Global Jam to do other things
[19:18] <_marx_> not sure what you mean akgraner
[19:19] <akgraner> well Global Jam isn't just about bugs...it's about all things ubuntu
[19:19] <akgraner> so we could plan an LoCo UbuCon
[19:19] <akgraner> run it like an unconference
[19:19] <akgraner> people show up and we run with it
[19:19] <akgraner> bug jam could be one part of that
[19:20] <akgraner> if someone shows up that knows how to package we could have a class on packaging
[19:20] <pradeep_> think i agree too
[19:20] <akgraner> we could have one on how to set up wiki's
[19:20] <pradeep_> it should have topics related to ubuntu
[19:20] <pradeep_> not only bugs
[19:21] <akgraner> _marx_, sorry I was on a roll...:-)
[19:21] <_marx_> it's good I like it
[19:21] <akgraner> so Winston to me is a good center for both the Raleigh crew and here.. that way no one is driving more than 2 hours
[19:22] <akgraner> but hey that's just me..
[19:23] <akgraner> unless people want to come here.. I can arrange something
[19:24] <_marx_> ow, pressure to find a good location
[19:24] <akgraner> the hotel is cutting their rates for me from 230.00 -250.00 a night to like 89-99 if they have availability and someone wants to stay there...
[19:25] * pradeep has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[19:25] <_marx_> akgraner: for the Oct 2-4 weekend?
[19:25] <akgraner> yep
[19:25] <_marx_> dang, hum maybe that's past leaf color change peak
[19:25] <akgraner> well not for me.. for the LoCo team and Ubuntu related events
[19:25] <JFo> woo
[19:26] <JFo> reduced hotel rates FTW
[19:26] <akgraner> so should I go ahead and plan something here...
[19:27] <akgraner> if it's just a handful I will turn my house into an open house/Global Jam...
[19:27] <pradeep_> would the meetings be online
[19:27] <akgraner> pradeep_, they can be
[19:27] <pradeep_> k
[19:27] <_marx_> what do you think attendance would be like akgraner
[19:28] <pradeep_> would have start a loco channel here in nigeria
[19:28] <akgraner> I am not sure... I am hoping to see what the ubucon in ATL does
[19:28] <akgraner> and go from there
[19:28] <akgraner> pradeep_, you can.. after this meeting I can shoot you the links to do that
[19:29] <pradeep_> ok
[19:29] <akgraner> _marx_, BugeyeD would you all be willing to come here?
[19:29] <akgraner> JFo, is here.. Pete and I plus who ever else we can bring with 5 of us..
[19:30] <akgraner> maybe we can snag the GA and SC LoCo's for that event and combine efforts...
[19:30] <JFo> I imagine we could
[19:30] * _marx_ is maybe right now
[19:30] <_marx_> I hope to find a location in Winston, Kernersville or G'boro
[19:31] <akgraner> they would rock if you can
[19:31] <akgraner> I'll work on stuff here but if you find something there let me know and we can go from there...
[19:31] <akgraner> will that work
[19:31] <_marx_> libraries have pc's running xp so live cd's are an option
[19:32] <_marx_> yes akgraner that works
[19:32] <akgraner> cool
