| [00:00] <dscassel> :D | |
| [00:00] <mimcpher> dscassel: We're out :P | |
| [00:00] <dscassel> I got a few left. I suppose that's a good way to get rid of them. | |
| [00:00] <dscassel> There'll be more in about 6 weeks. :) | |
| [00:01] <mimcpher> dscassel: I mean, we can just burn a stack, but the branded ones are so very shiny | |
| [00:01] <mimcpher> If you've got some you want to be rid of, I'd take 'em | |
| [00:02] <BobJonkman1> I have a few left. Will be handing out at Ubuntu Hour in Waterloo next week, if there's folks to take 'em | |
| [00:02] <dscassel> Okay. I'll drop off the last of what I have this week or next. | |
| [00:02] <mimcpher> Where is Ubuntu Hour happening? | |
| [00:02] <BobJonkman1> Say, is this official meeting talk> | |
| [00:02] <mimcpher> dscassel: if it's easier, I can grab 'em at Kwartzlab too. | |
| [00:02] <dscassel> Uh, right. | |
| [00:03] <BobJonkman1> mimcpher: At the Duke of Wellington: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1555/detail/ | |

| [00:04] <bregma> woo hoo! | |
| [00:04] <KombuchaKip> dscassel: Yo | |
| [00:04] <dscassel> Meeting time! | |
| [00:04] <khoover> PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTY | |
| [00:05] <dscassel> Please introduce yourself! Who are you? Where are you from? what do you do with/for/on Ubuntu? | |
| [00:05] <dscassel> Yeah, pretty much. :D | |
| [00:05] <dscassel> mimcpher: You're involved in CSC? | |
| [00:05] * BobJonkman1 is Bob Jonkman from Elmira, who occasionally hangs out at the Duke of Wellington and hands out Ubuntu CDs | |
| [00:06] <dscassel> mimcpher: How can I get you guys to do Ubuntu stuff? :D | |
| [00:06] <mimcpher> dscassel: Uh, fairly trivially. We used to do Linux (which means ubuntu) install parties. | |
| [00:07] <KombuchaKip> My name's Kip. I am the project lead behind Avaneya. Avaneya's a free, commercial, sci-fi game for Ubuntu still in the works (www.avaneya.com). I live just outside of Vancouver. Also check out our Viking Lander Remastered archive at the aforementioned. | |
| [00:07] <wylde> 'llo, James PLate from Welland, recently getting involved with bug triage and harassing family and friends to get on Ubuntu ;) | |
| [00:07] <Jeruvy> Someone page? Oh meeting night :) | |
| [00:07] * khoover is Ken Hoover from Markham, who...well, he'll add in the what he does later. | |
| [00:07] * mimcpher is Matthew McPherrin in Waterloo. Exec of CSC, who is a Ubuntu Mirror. And we hand out ubuntu CDs to students. | |
| [00:07] * bregma lives in the back woods of Lanark County, Ontario, and woks on Ubuntu and Debian | |
| [00:07] <johanbr> I'm Johan, pretty recent transplant to Montreal, use Ubuntu for most of my computing needs. I also help people on IRC, report bugs and occasionally patch them | |
| [00:07] <kurtul> i'm from halifax, ns. i use ubuntu in all my computers as first os. and install ubuntu on friends computers | |
| [00:08] <dscassel> mimcpher: Woo! I should drop by for one of those. | |
| [00:08] <dscassel> I subscribe to the CSC calendar, but I haven't seen one in a while. | |
| [00:08] <mimcpher> dscassel: Yeah, they haven't really happened in a while. | |
| [00:10] * Jeruvy hails from Calgary and is a big Ubuntu server admin, and a desktop enthusiast. | |
| [00:11] <BobJonkman1> If we're wondering what to chat about, there's an agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-03-13 | |
| [00:11] <dscassel> Hi, I'm Darcy, I'm in Waterloo and I'm co-contact for Ubuntu Canada. | |
| [00:11] <dscassel> Thanks, BobJonkman1 :) | |
| [00:12] <BobJonkman1> Thought you might be distracted by shiny lasers and bots and things | |
| [00:13] <dscassel> Faroud's not around. Shame, I'm intested in how the Global Jam in St Johns's went down. | |
| [00:13] <dscassel> Anybody go? | |
| [00:13] <dscassel> BobJonkman1: Sorta, yeah. ^^; | |
| [00:14] <dscassel> Our global jam was pretty awesome! Happy to finally meet bilal and mars :D | |
| [00:14] <dscassel> Not great attendance, mind you. A lot of people were busy that weekend. | |
| [00:15] * mimcpher is always busy for #ubuntu-ca events | |
| [00:15] <mimcpher> :/ | |
| [00:15] <dscassel> mimcpher: Are you going to be around the CSC office around lunch time any day this week? | |
| [00:16] <dscassel> (I'd stop by for pi day tomorrow, but sadly I can't partake. Doctor's orders' :/ ) | |
| [00:17] <mimcpher> dscassel: With probability > 0.5 I'll be in CSC after 12:30 tomorrow | |
| [00:17] <BobJonkman1> Pi day! Forgot about that. | |
| [00:17] <dscassel> Pie! :D | |
| [00:19] <dscassel> Anyway, next big event is the release party. | |
| [00:20] <dscassel> Unless I can convince anyone to host an Ubuntu Hour. :D | |
| [00:20] <dscassel> We're hosting one at Kwartzlab on the Saturday | |
| [00:21] <BobJonkman1> (Ubuntu Release Party at Kwartzlab, not an Ubuntu Hour) | |
| [00:21] <BobJonkman1> Although, why not? | |
| [00:21] <dscassel> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1527/detail/ | |
| [00:21] <dscassel> yes! | |
| [00:21] <dscassel> well, we don't serve food, which is kind of a downer. | |
| [00:22] <dscassel> (Normally, I mean, the release party will have pizza, cake, devilled eggs, etc. :D) | |
| [00:22] <khoover> :( no food? and jez, i gotta upgrade my ubuntu at some point... | |
| [00:22] <BobJonkman1> Kwartzlab may not serve food, but the URP participants usually bring some | |
| [00:23] <bregma> is everybody running the 12.04 beta by now?? | |
| [00:23] <dscassel> bregma: Me! :D | |
| [00:23] <Jeruvy> yes | |
| [00:23] <BobJonkman1> No, not yet. Corrupted my USB drive image... :( | |
| [00:23] <wylde> I am | |
| [00:23] <khoover> i'm still on natty, can't bear to go to ocelot and it's gnome 3 | |
| [00:25] <bregma> 11.10 runs Unity | |
| [00:26] <khoover> ...shoot, got em backwards | |
| [00:26] <khoover> meant unity | |
| [00:27] <bregma> as of yesterday's upgrade most of my problems with the beta have been worked out, it seems very stable and fully functional | |
| [00:27] <bregma> I would recommend upgrading now to give things a good testing before final release | |
| [00:28] <dscassel> Yeah. There's a (slim) chance you can get your problem fixed if you run into something. | |
| [00:30] <khoover> exactly what's the likelihood of something breaking/getting wiped in the natty => ocelot upgrade? | |
| [00:30] <BobJonkman1> Kernel freeze on 5 April: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | |
| [00:30] <khoover> cause then I might just do it and try a different windowing system than gnome | |
| [00:30] <BobJonkman1> I've always had good results in upgrading, even to a beta release | |
| [00:30] <bregma> I upgraded from natty to oneiric without trouble | |
| [00:31] <bregma> and then to precise, with minor video driver trouble (nVidia, fixed upstream by nVidia) | |
| [00:32] <khoover> alrigh. suppose kde would be the closest thing to gnome that isn't gnome, right? | |
| [00:32] <dscassel> khoover: There's cinnamon, but not sure how well it's supported. | |
| [00:32] <bregma> KDE is the closest thing to Win XP that isn't Gnome2 | |
| [00:32] <khoover> bregma, oh thank god | |
| [00:32] <dscassel> khoover: There's also XFCE. xubuntu is decent. | |
| [00:33] <khoover> dscassel, had a bad experience with it on my first ubuntu install | |
| [00:33] <khoover> so, how would i update to ocelot, anywho? | |
| [00:34] <dscassel> khoover: update-manager -d | |
| [00:34] <khoover> can't use apt(itude)? | |
| [00:34] <dscassel> khoover: If you want to hand-edit your sources.list, sure! :D | |
| [00:34] <bregma> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades | |
| [00:35] <dscassel> Anybody running a release party? | |
| [00:36] <BobJonkman1> I would really love to hear about a Toronto release party (hint hint) | |
| [00:39] <khoover> supposing the upgrade will require a reboot | |
| [00:39] <bregma> it will probably install a new kernel, you will want to reboot to pick it up | |
| [00:39] <BobJonkman1> That was a (hint hint) to encourage some Torontonian to set up a URP... | |
| [00:40] <khoover> ... | |
| [00:40] * khoover quits | |
| [00:40] <khoover> sorry, hang on, got that wrong. | |
| [00:40] * khoover has quit (Remote host has run away like hell) | |
| [00:40] <BobJonkman1> khoover: Thought I'd offended you... | |
| [00:41] <khoover> huh? | |
| [00:42] <dscassel> Okay, well... | |
| [00:42] <dscassel> I'd love if someone was able to take over doing Team Reports | |
| [00:42] <dscassel> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/TeamReports | |
| [00:43] <bregma> but we're so satisfied with the work you're already doing | |
| [00:43] <dscassel> All you have to do, really, is pull events from the loco portal. | |
| [00:44] <dscassel> (Which can be scripted... I almost did it, but then got lazy and lost the code) | |
| [00:44] <dscassel> Thanks, bregma 9_9 | |
| [00:49] <dscassel> 'Cuz we're likely up for renewal in a few months. And they're gonna ask about team reports. | |
| [00:49] <dscassel> Otherwise, we're probably cool. Except for the whole province teams things. | |
| [00:49] <dscassel> thing | |
| [00:50] <BobJonkman1> How might the province teams thing affect LoCo renewal? | |
| [00:51] <dscassel> Ubuntu Canada may not be renewed. Unless we decide to be Ubuntu Ontario. | |
| [00:51] <dscassel> It's up to the LoCo Council, really. | |
| [00:51] <dscassel> Not that anyone's ever talked to me about it... | |
| [00:51] <dscassel> So I'm just speculating. | |
| [00:52] <BobJonkman1> Would other provinces automatically get LoCo status then, too? | |
| [00:53] <dscassel> Again, I'm speculating. Ubuntu ontario may not be automatic. | |
| [00:54] <BobJonkman1> f'rinstance, Faroud in Newfoundland... kurtul from Nova Scotia... There was someone from Saskatchewan a few meetings ago... | |
| [00:55] <BobJonkman1> Oh, and Jeruvy (sorry 'bout that omission!) | |
| [00:55] <dscassel> They'd probably need to organize and get separate approval. | |
| [00:55] <dscassel> Hypothetically. | |
| [00:55] <dscassel> Again, speculating. | |
| [00:56] <Jeruvy> BobJonkman, no harm done. :) | |
| [00:56] <BobJonkman1> Well, best we get ourselves geared up to do Team Reports then. | |
| [00:58] <dscassel> Yup. I'll see if I can dig up that script to automate them. | |
| [00:58] <dscassel> Anyway, it's 9. Anything else? | |
| [00:59] <dscassel> mimcpher: I'll drop by tomorrow. :D | |
| [01:00] <mimcpher> dscassel: awesome | |
| [01:01] <dscassel> Thanks folks! | |
| [01:02] <BobJonkman1> dscassel: I'll work on minutes and logs in a bit. | |
| [01:03] <BobJonkman1> dscassel: Also, there seem to be two release parties in KW. Conveniently, they're both at Kwartzlab so I don't have to miss either one :) http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | |
| [01:04] <bregma> thanks for running the meeting, guys | |
| [01:06] * Jeruvy is off to the game | |
| [01:11] <dscassel> Thanks, BobJonkman1 :) | |
| [01:12] <dscassel> Yeah, I didn't look for the existing one when the global event went up. | |
| [01:17] <BobJonkman1> OK, I'll remove the one that's not registered to the global event | |
| [01:21] <BobJonkman1> Hmm... Seems I can add events, but can't remove them: "You can not remove this team event. You are not an admin/owner of the Launchpad team or on the LoCo Council." | |
| [16:35] <wmat> anyone know of an Ubuntu loco chapter in Edmonton? | |
| [16:37] <bregma> I believe there is only the national loco, the Quebec loco, and the Vancouver loco | |
| [16:46] <wmat> bregma: thx | |
| [16:47] <wmat> there's one in Kitchener/Waterloo as well, but that may be the national one | |
| [17:07] <mimcpher> KW people are nationals, yee. | |
| [17:15] <wmat> heh | |
| [19:04] <BobJonkman> wmat, bregma, mimcpher: :P KW is just another local chapter. Happens to have the two ubuntu-ca national contacts here, but otherwise just the same as the Edmonton Chapter (which wmat is setting up, right?) | |
| [19:05] <mimcpher> BobJonkman: Ah, well then I wasn't clear on the seperation | |
| [19:07] <bregma> is a "chapter" an official designation of a subgroup within a loco, or is it just a handy word being bandied about? | |
| [20:30] <wmat> BobJonkman: I actually live in Waterloo ;) | |
| [20:30] <wmat> BobJonkman: however, I was contacted today by someone inquiring about starting a chapter in Edmonton | |
| === bregma is now known as bregma|afk | |
| [21:21] <mimcpher> Man, I really hate unity. And xmonad has stopped working since I upgraded to oneric this morning :( | |
