 03:00:19 <pleia2> ok, who all is here for the meeting? :)

 03:00:49 <philipballew> here

 03:01:09 <grantbow> aloha

 03:01:12 * eps is not entirely here

 03:01:28 <josheboy> I am

 03:01:45 <pleia2> great, welcome everyone!

 03:02:10 <pleia2> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12November18

 03:02:10 <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12November18 - Ubuntu Wiki]

 03:02:12 <pleia2> our agenda is empty :)

 03:02:29 <pleia2> I guess I can give some updates

 03:02:41 <pleia2> I've shipped out CDs to San Diego, Lake Forest and Los Angeles

 03:02:55 <pleia2> s/CDs/DVDs

 03:03:01 <eps> :-)

 03:03:10 <pleia2> I haven't heard back from the silicon valley folks about DVDs, but hopefully they'll find time to reply so I can get some down there to San Jose and Mt View

 03:03:43 <philipballew> so I was able to hand out several of these already

 03:04:01 <pleia2> we do have some 12.04 CDs left over too, this week I'll go through them to make sure our wiki is up to date, they're LTS so it's ok to have leftovers :)

 03:04:05 <pleia2> philipballew: yay!

 03:04:27 <grantbow> LTS = good for newbies

 03:04:43 <josheboy> <--- newbie

 03:04:44 <pleia2> and servers, companies, etc ;)

 03:04:46 <philipballew> We here in San Diego had our Ubuntu hour this Thursday and had 3 people besides myself. I have a few lts here I still hand out as well.

 03:05:01 <pleia2> josheboy: nice to have some new faces here :) welcome

 03:05:10 <josheboy> Thanks much :)

 03:05:12 * philipballew high fives josheboy

 03:05:22 <kallecarl> Hello, new to the meeting want to invite Ubuntu folks to http://www.qtdeveloperdays.com/northamerica/ Dec 5 -7. Jono confirmed tonight that he will be on the panel about open source tablets

 03:05:22 <darthrobot`> Title: [Qt Developer Days]

 03:05:34 <pleia2> kallecarl: cool, thanks!

 03:05:43 <pleia2> kallecarl: is there an announcement you can forward to the mailing list?

 03:05:49 <kallecarl> list address

 03:05:51 <grantbow> nice

 03:05:51 <kallecarl> ?

 03:05:57 <kallecarl> grantbow: howdy

 03:05:57 <pleia2> kallecarl: ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com

 03:06:20 <kallecarl> pleia2: not really an announcement I guess

 03:06:27 <kallecarl> just the URL for the conference

 03:06:31 <kallecarl> will do though

 03:06:38 <pleia2> kallecarl: ok, thanks

 03:06:43 <eps> Isn't it horrifically expensive to attend?

 03:06:58 <grantbow> nice adjective

 03:07:01 <pleia2> hehe

 03:08:35 <grantbow> Santa Clara with a free three day pass? Not too horrific.

 03:08:47 <pleia2> another thing I wanted to mention is how we plan events

 03:09:00 <philipballew> kallecarl, If you are advertising it here, can LoCo members here get in for free or a good price?

 03:09:11 <kallecarl> eps: there are a few complimentary passes

 03:09:20 <pleia2> we've gone from having pretty strict rules to having essentally none, which some people are taking advantage of now - to the extent of sometimes not even telling the rest of the team they're having what they call Ubuntu California events ;(

 03:09:25 <pleia2> :(

 03:09:28 <kallecarl> please email me at carlsymons@gmail.com

 03:09:51 <philipballew> pleia2, This is a problem.

 03:10:09 <pleia2> so today I created a wiki page to help people understand the minimum requirements for hosting an event (and akk helped me clean it up): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/HowTo

 03:10:09 <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/HowTo - Ubuntu Wiki]

 03:10:13 <pleia2> this is now linked on our Projects page

 03:10:29 <grantbow> sounds good

 03:10:34 <philipballew> +1

 03:10:35 <pleia2> should be helpful for for all of us really :) we forget how many resources we have!

 03:11:09 <grantbow> true

 03:11:22 <pleia2> it's a wiki, so please feel free to make edits as needed, that's really my first stab at it

 03:11:37 <pleia2> I'm hoping this will be enough to solve the problem of rogue events ;)

 03:12:42 <eps> Speaking of Projects ...

 03:13:03 <eps> SCALE 11x -- http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/

 03:13:03 <darthrobot`> Title: [SCALE 11x]

 03:13:25 <pleia2> oh gosh, that's coming up fast

 03:13:31 <eps> Hello!

 03:13:35 <pleia2> I'm skipping this year :(

 03:14:02 <eps> Philip?

 03:14:10 <philipballew> eps, Ill be there

 03:14:23 <philipballew> I can run the booth for the loco if needed

 03:14:38 <philipballew> since I live down here somewhat and not

 03:14:40 <eps> So, I guess it goes on the Projects page.

 03:14:46 <pleia2> yeah

 03:14:59 <pleia2> can copy the 10x page probably and adjust accordingly :)

 03:15:06 <pleia2> also follow up with nhaines to see if there will be an Ubucon too

 03:15:13 <philipballew> probably nhaines and iheartubuntu will help with all the people from their hours

 03:15:20 <grantbow> another Ubucon would be great

 03:15:25 <pleia2> grantbow: yeah :)

 03:15:54 <eps> Find some discount codes for attendees, and figure out what you need from people who are interested in volunteering

 03:15:55 <philipballew> I'm gonna set up a page for hotel/ride sharing for people so were all not booked in out own hotels if we dont want to

 03:16:06 <pleia2> philipballew: that's great!

 03:16:37 <grantbow> eps: Volunteering? Thanks for that ;-)

 03:16:52 <pleia2> let me know if you have any questions logistically, I am not sure who is working with Gareth to arrange the booth

 03:16:56 <philipballew> the hilton is somewhat $$ compared to ones a few blocks away as well. and there is parking around for people driving from sf

 03:17:10 <eps> grantbow: Would you prefer ... conscription?

 03:17:18 <pleia2> I just can't attend because I have too much happening this year (changing jobs, getting married)

 03:17:24 * philipballew still wants to see a "scale or bust" sign on a car

 03:17:54 <pleia2> turns out you can't actually take 2 months a year off for conferences and honeymoon... ;)

 03:18:11 <philipballew> :)

 03:18:19 <mikestewart> honeymoon at SCaLE!

 03:18:21 <mikestewart> :-P

 03:18:31 * mikestewart back to luring

 03:18:35 * mikestewart back to lurking

 03:18:52 <philipballew> I have a good thing to mention

 03:19:09 <philipballew> Our loco member dave (iheartubuntu) came out of the woodwork this week to pull a victory for Ubuntu/linux with that netflix app he helped make. So whenever you see the news about that, know it was made possible from someone who came from our loco.

 03:19:27 <pleia2> philipballew: oh yes, good catch

 03:19:45 <grantbow> excellent!

 03:19:48 <pleia2> mikestewart: getting married in April :) and I'd like to go somewhere more exciting than LA ;)

 03:19:51 <josheboy> oh wow. that's pretty cool

 03:20:06 <pleia2> http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html

 03:20:06 <darthrobot`> Title: [PPA for Netflix Desktop App | iheartubuntu]

 03:20:43 <pleia2> the Ubuntu Developer Summit will probably happen during my honeymoon, but he wasn't thrilled with that honeymoon idea

 03:21:20 <philipballew> I want to see a plenary session where you get married by markdude pleia2

 03:21:20 <eps> Do we know where the next UDS will be held?

 03:21:27 <pleia2> philipballew: hahahah

 03:21:31 <pleia2> eps: nope :\

 03:22:23 <grantbow> hopefully Oakland

 03:22:26 <pleia2> ok, anyone else have anything?

 03:22:39 <grantbow> How about shirts? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Shirts

 03:22:39 <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Shirts - Ubuntu Wiki]

 03:22:54 <pleia2> grantbow: oh yes! what were your thoughts here?

 03:23:01 <kallecarl> pleia2: i didn't sign up for the mailing list. Just mailed the address you gave

 03:23:10 <kallecarl> the QtDevDays announce

 03:23:18 <pleia2> kallecarl: thanks, I'll let it through

 03:23:20 <grantbow> Let's have an art contest again and get some more printed.

 03:23:36 <philipballew> grantbow, I like this idea. If we get them made up by scale we can pass them out there

 03:23:43 <grantbow> Canonical colors have changed so at least updating colors will be good.

 03:24:07 <grantbow> both Canonical and Community colors

 03:24:08 <eps> No more aubergine? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

 03:24:17 <pleia2> so are we proposing a full logo redesign

 03:24:17 <philipballew> who will print them grantbow ?

 03:24:30 <grantbow> yes

 03:24:31 <kallecarl> at LinuxCon, there were the coolest shirts. Not screened like a big hunk of plastic but rather dyed into the shirt

 03:24:31 <pleia2> eps: yes aubergine, but we haven't updated our stuff for even that change...

 03:24:36 <kallecarl> drivemg.com is the contact

 03:24:43 <pleia2> eps: our logo is still the old old old ubuntu logo

 03:24:52 <grantbow> our colors for the old shirt were pre-aubergine

 03:25:12 <philipballew> IDEA! Hold a contest from the ml to get design ideas, and the winner gets a free shirt.

 03:25:20 <eps> Is there a URL with design guidelines?

 03:25:28 <pleia2> philipballew: we can't really promise that :( no one to $$$$ for the shirts

 03:25:31 <grantbow> If we design it we'll find someone to print it. Maybe the person that did it last time.

 03:25:34 * mikestewart can't imagine much more *exciting* than LA ... but ya, wouldn't honeymoon here (or SCaLE) either.

 03:25:38 <philipballew> true.

 03:25:40 <pleia2> (unless you're volunteering :))

 03:25:52 <grantbow> Ernest Rogers

 03:26:03 <grantbow> we can ask him

 03:26:04 <pleia2> mikestewart: maybe exotic is the right word (boo more california ;))

 03:26:08 <philipballew> pleia2, I can look into printing them at a shop near me here if I have some funds

 03:26:19 <josheboy> I live in LA, and I took my very recent honeymoon far away from here, haha. And no laptops either. It was very refreshing :p

 03:26:29 <philipballew> so if people pre order them, but not sure if people would want that

 03:26:35 <grantbow> no reason we can't do multiple printings too

 03:26:46 <philipballew> agreed

 03:26:47 <grantbow> though probably not necessary yet

 03:26:48 <pleia2> ok, so can someone take an action item to put together a wiki page for this new design contest and organize it on list?

 03:26:55 <philipballew> yes

 03:26:55 <pleia2> josheboy: congrats!

 03:27:00 <grantbow> I can organize it

 03:27:08 <pleia2> ok great :)

 03:27:08 <grantbow> and do a wiki page

 03:27:17 <josheboy> pleia2: Thanks. And congrats on the near future nuptuals :)

 03:27:23 <pleia2> josheboy: thank you :)

 03:27:30 <grantbow> +1

 03:27:41 <pleia2> wow, this was a productive meeting!

 03:27:45 <pleia2> anything else?

 03:27:50 <grantbow> not bad for a blank agenda

 03:27:57 <pleia2> indeed

 03:27:58 <eps> Other than not ordering purple and orange M&Ms, what other disasters should I know about?

 03:28:09 * mikestewart lives in long beach.

 03:28:24 <grantbow> eps: please propose a design in the contest that is soon to come.

 03:28:26 <pleia2> eps: do they have purple?

 03:28:30 <mikestewart> did you guys firgure out whos working with Gareth on SCaLE booth?

 03:28:32 <philipballew> mikestewart, come down to san diego!

 03:28:58 <josheboy> mikestewart: I live in North Hollywood

 03:29:06 <pleia2> philipballew: will you contact Gareth to see who he has down for the ubuntu booth contact?

 03:29:16 <mikestewart> philipballew, san diego is an awesome place to visit.  as is sf bay area.

 03:29:23 <philipballew> pleia2, will do

 03:29:31 <pleia2> great

 03:29:38 <philipballew> mikestewart, all the more reason to come here and say hello

 03:29:46 <philipballew> and get a free ubuntu cd

 03:29:47 <mikestewart> philipballew, I wouldn't mind being backup help for the booth

 03:29:48 <eps> pleia2: www.mymms.com (and yes, they are appropriate for weddings)

 03:30:01 * mikestewart is an organizer of #drupal-la

 03:30:08 <philipballew> mikestewart, yeah, Lets do that.

 03:30:09 <mikestewart> we'll have a booth, too

 03:30:21 <grantbow> Oh, I burned some 12.04 and special 12.10 CD size images. I will let the list know when I get a chance to test the 12.10 CDs.

 03:30:21 <pleia2> eps: just proposed pink m&m wedding favors and got a funny look, then he goes "whatever you want, hon"

 03:30:46 <pleia2> mikestewart: cool

 03:30:50 <mikestewart> philipballew, where are you in sandiego?

 03:30:50 <philipballew> alright. I gtg get back to my homework

 03:30:54 <philipballew> ah

 03:31:00 <philipballew> mikestewart, Point Loma

 03:31:15 <pleia2> grantbow: cool, thanks

 03:31:16 <kallecarl> pleia2: whatever you want, hon...already trained well

 03:31:23 <josheboy> "whatever you want, hon" is the perfect soon-to-be groom answer

 03:31:29 <pleia2> josheboy: +1

 03:31:33 <pleia2> kallecarl: too

 03:31:34 <pleia2> :)

 03:31:37 * mikestewart is not sure how close that is to stone brewery  -- a major reason to get in the car for the SD trip.  besides legoland for the kids

 03:31:41 <pleia2> ok, we can wrap up this meeting :)

 03:31:42 <grantbow> great meeting! thanks for chairing pleia2
