[18:54:03] <chesedo> previous meeting minutes is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings/20170822
[18:54:09] <chesedo> just for a refresher
[18:54:30] <chesedo> londoner: will you be needing any next step help?
[18:54:44] <paddatrapper> Maaz: I am Kyle Robbertze 
[18:54:44] <Maaz> paddatrapper: Alrighty
[18:54:49] <chesedo> ...trello, mailing list, etc...
[18:55:00] <chesedo> Maaz: topic Events 
[18:55:00] <Maaz> Current Topic: Events
[18:55:09] <chesedo> upcoming events for the next month are:
[18:55:09] <chesedo> - PyCon ZA 2017: 5th and 6th October 2017 (Cape Town) -> https://za.pycon.org/
[18:55:29] <paddatrapper> Eish don't remind me... So much to organise before then
[18:55:36] <chesedo> paddatrapper: you were at debconf iirc?
[18:55:42] <paddatrapper> chesedo: yup
[18:55:42] <londoner> I opened a Launchpad account in May and, after waiting for 4 months, earlier this month finally got approved as an Ubuntu Wiki editor.
[18:55:57] <inetpro> londoner: wow
[18:56:17] <chesedo> paddatrapper: wow keeping busy... how was it?
[18:56:37] <chesedo> londoner: are you part of the wiki team?
[18:56:50] <londoner> I maintain the official Full Circle Magazine article index at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/FullIssueIndex - also in spreadsheet format at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UgDCiTyVRrG5cRFSgOLmY-bEOaZ0TQwf83j7RFCUybg
[18:56:59] <paddatrapper> chesedo: it was good fun. Getting there and back was a mission, but lots of interesting talks and discussions
[18:57:27] <paddatrapper> Debian packages are over 95% reproducible! 
[18:57:31] <chesedo> ah cool, i have not read that in ages
[18:57:45] <inetpro> londoner: that is nice to know
[18:57:55] <chesedo> paddatrapper: reproducible?
[18:58:42] <paddatrapper> chesedo: so the binary built in the archive can be rebuilt on another machine with the same environment and be bit for bit identical 
[18:58:55] <chesedo> i see the full circle mag still has the py section
[18:59:13] <paddatrapper> https://reproducible-builds.org/
[19:00:39] <chesedo> paddatrapper: that is interesting, i though that machine languages might differ between machines...
[19:00:56] <chesedo> or is that covered by the "same environment"?
[19:01:13] <paddatrapper> chesedo: yup. Needs to be the same architecture 
[19:01:29] <chesedo> ah righto
[19:01:58] <chesedo> i am not aware of other events for the year
[19:02:03] <chesedo> are any of you?
[19:02:03] <paddatrapper> But seeing as the Debian build infrastructure builds for all supported architectures, it isn't that much if an issue 
[19:02:12] * inetpro should try to make an effort to print the Full Circle Magazine for coffee table reading in the office
[19:02:39] <paddatrapper> Nope. Wikimania happening in CT next year is the next one I know of 
[19:03:08] <chesedo> inetpro: that might be a lot of ink (colour wise)
[19:03:27] <chesedo> but a great distraction
[19:03:42] <inetpro> chesedo: true, that there's always nice content in there and we can't keep it to ourselves
[19:03:53] <inetpro> info is there to be shared
[19:03:57] <inetpro> :-)
[19:04:20] <chesedo> i remember saving each one years ago for the gimp content it had
[19:04:24] <inetpro> s/that there's/but there's/
[19:05:01] <chesedo> inetpro: how big is your office in head counts?
[19:05:26] <chesedo> Maaz: agreed No other events to add
[19:05:26] <Maaz> Agreed: No other events to add
[19:05:53] <inetpro> we have four in the office but a few other IT guys and users who come and go
[19:06:46] <chesedo> Maaz: topic Miscellaneous
[19:06:46] <Maaz> Current Topic: Miscellaneous
[19:07:01] <chesedo> if anyone has any misc topics...
[19:07:30] <inetpro> chesedo: but you're right... maybe too much ink needed
[19:07:37] * chesedo now wonders if it is possible to get a copied subscription
[19:08:34] <chesedo> or maybe a print shop will work out cheaper... and better looking...
[19:08:39] <inetpro> would be nice if we could just do cheap printing and selling locally to cover the printing costs
[19:09:30] <chesedo> i think posting would be the biggest/killer issue here in SA
[19:09:59] <chesedo> but yeah...
[19:10:05] * chesedo sighs
[19:10:50] <chesedo> Maaz: topic Next meeting

[19:11:24] <Maaz> Current Topic: Elect chairperson for next meeting
[19:11:55] <chesedo> paddatrapper: are you still on for the next chair?
[19:12:35] <inetpro> +1 for paddatrapper, if he's available
[19:13:35] * chesedo has an exam on that and the next day
[19:14:48] <inetpro> chesedo: he said last time, "I _should_ be free"
[19:15:22] <chesedo> ok, i'll put him on for now... can change if need be
[19:15:31] <paddatrapper> Sorry, yes I am
