User1: User2 I haven't done anything with that website in a loooong time.
User1: Svpernova09 hosts the site now.
User1: User5 meetings died because no one cared to schedule them. When they were scheduled no one showed up. On the rare occasion someone did show up, it was rife with politics. I made a pretty big fuss about it but nothing has changed. There is a blog post on the site about it.
User2: howdy netritious :)
User1: howdy wrst :) cold out your way?
User1: User5 http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/2012/announcements/leadership-elections/
User2: not as cold as predicted, its 10
User2: how about you?
User1: ew whee that's cold!
User1: yeah, freezing here
User2: I think tonight supposed to drop below 0 again
User2: we had about 3-5" of snow
User2: or I should say 3-5" of "flurries"
User1: egad, not as cold here.... 31
User1: with wind chill later today temps are supposed to drop :/
User2: but on the loco stuff I hate to say it in here I'm not for sure its hardly worth the effort, I think ubuntu is becoming much less community oriented anyway
User1: for me it was less about ubuntu and more about community
User3: Temp: 7 F (-14 C) ~ light snow ~ Windchill: -9 F (-23 C) ~ Humidity: 84%
User3: :D
User1: wow Unit193, guess I'm living like it's Florida :)
User3: User2 I still maintain the Xubuntu community is good!
User3: (And by extension, what little Ubuntustuio community there is)
User2: User3 that's all well and good but Ubuntu proper is garbage as far as their concern for community
User1: User2 rarely do I recall anyone talking about ubuntu at a local meetup.
User3: User2 Depends, factions are good, factions are bad.
User1: *I recall ubuntu only being mentioned in passing, not as the focus of the meetup
User2: User3 I have a CLA you can sign!
User3: NTY. :D
User2: User3 that kills community at a much higher level and makes locos useless
User2: that being said this is a good group of people :)
User2: User1 what was the purpose then? :)
User1: mostly wrst, except that guy Unit193...idk what his deal is
User1: :D
User2: ha ha
User1: User2 the purpose of the meetups? to commune with each other?
User2: but really the hoops required just to become Ubuntu blessed loco were nuts especially for a group like this with so much geogrophy to cover
User2: they were obviously thinking of urban areas and not of locations like ours
User2: User1 so you communed but just not about ubuntu :)
User4: There is a login for the host if someone needs access :D
User4: I log in and make sure it's updated when i do the rounds with the rest of my WP sites
User1: User2 well yes and no...ubuntu was talked about, but wasn't really the focus of discussion, at least not what I can recall.
User1: hey Svpernova09
User1: anyone use pfsense?
User1: besides me
User2: User1 I have thought about using pfsense :)
User2: so that doesn't really qualify ;)
User5: What are the benefits of being an "Ubuntu Community" official or not vs setting up an independent community that follows its own rules?
User5: Just thinking outside the box here
User6: b/c ubuntu has clout
User6: and random other community does not
User2: User5 in reality we dont get presed cds or a banner thing for tech show type things
User3: Stash.
User2: i think in community terms ubuntu is getting less relavent as far as true community goes, but it is no doubt the big dog still
User2: User3 exactly
User2: and i am admittedly a little not on team ubuntu exactly like i was at one time
User3: ^ is just cranky.
User2: i do hope they do well but...
User2: User3 yes
User2: i think i may grow a neckbeard and start moaning on mailing list about mundane things no one cares about :)
User1: ha
User1: i thought everyone did that wrst
User3: No, I'm hip and new, I output to IRC (just not here, dangit, ubuntulog_.)
User2: ha ha netritious
