(We'll get to release parties soon.) 02:02:35 * ianorlin is not currently planning any 02:03:16 #topic Announcements 02:03:38 nothing from me here eitehr 02:03:52 The Ubuntu Online Summit wrapped up 10 days ago. 02:04:21 It was a fun UOS and there was a lot discussed. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS put a lot of technolgies into place that are going to build the last stages of convergence. 02:04:48 Tons of plans and roadmaps were revealed, and you can see a track summary session held by all the track leads here: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1605/meeting/22691/track-summaries/ 02:04:48 Title: [Track Summaries - | The Summit Scheduler] 02:05:07 And you can also view replays of all of the sessions as well. 02:05:28 Are there any other announcements at this time? 02:08:32 Okay then, on to our first agenda item. 02:08:41 #topic 16.04 Release Parties 02:08:45 so, we haven't had any yet 02:08:52 \o/ 02:09:05 I couldn't find a venue on release day here in San Francisco, and then had to postpone until I have more time to organize 02:09:20 I don't have time yet, but I hope to get something set up for July or so 02:09:32 pleia2 good idea 02:10:10 July is when 16.04.1 comes out, which prompts all the upgrades from 14.04, kind of like a 2nd release day ;) 02:10:31 And now things like the Ubuntu Software Store actually work. :) 02:10:58 hah, right 02:11:10 hopefully we'll know more about the usb sticks for 16.04 release too 02:11:18 there was never an announcement that they were available for locos to request 02:12:29 (no word on dvd availability either, but there were murmurs about them dropping them entirely) 02:12:30 Also they're still not available in the Canonical Store. 02:12:39 yeah, I saw someone complain about that the other day 02:12:59 The last I heard from Canonical, there would be no DVDs, and when I complained in an UOS session on video they didn't seem too sympathetic. :) 02:13:08 heh 02:13:26 if anyone has any downtown SF venue ideas, feel free to let me know (or reply on list to the thread where we're talking about it) 02:13:32 Although there was talk about producing DVD artwork anyway. 02:13:42 I'll work to reach out to folks and stuff once I have a bit more time 02:13:47 that's all from me 02:14:39 Sounds good. 02:14:41 why the requirement it be downtown? 02:16:18 DonkeyHotei: it's where I live and I'm running the party 02:16:50 also good public transit from all over the bay 02:17:24 but mostly that I'm the one hauling everything over to the venue, so I don't want to go across town 02:18:46 Seems reasonable enough. :) 02:19:13 No one's volunteered to run a party in SoCal and I'm overbooked, so at the moment there aren't any plans. 02:19:33 But if somebody *did* want to, they could let me know and I would try to show up with an Ubuntu tablet that does stuff. 02:21:24 Okay, so that's the end of our agenda. 02:21:28 #topic Other Business 02:21:44 Is there anything else anyone wanted to discuss? 02:24:24 nothing here 02:25:08 I'm going to start discussions with a local library about giving a couple of talks on Ubuntu and/or my Ubuntu book. 02:25:13 the new member moratorium? 02:25:15 great 02:25:16 So I'll keep everyone informed if that goes off. :) 02:25:23 kicks off! 02:25:30 (I almost said "goes well.") 02:25:32 DonkeyHotei: on launchpad? 02:25:35 yes 02:25:42 any updates? 02:25:52 we don't really use launchpad, so I wouldn't go as far as calling it a "new member moratorium" 02:26:13 it's just temporarily paused until some of the wiki stuff can be sorted 02:26:28 (our team is an open team, so spammers were joining to try to get access to the ubuntu wiki) 02:26:47 I will note that this seems to have stopped as far as the joining bit goes. 02:26:54 to be clear, people don't need to be part of the launchpad team, or need to know what launchpad is, to consider themselves a member of this team :) 02:27:18 Yes, anyone in California who wants to promote Ubuntu is welcome. :) 02:28:59 pleia2: if you wanted to set the team back to open, I think it's probably safe to do so now. 02:29:41 nhaines: I'd rather not, it only stopped because we locked down the wiki even further, as soon as that lets up we'll have to re-mod and I don't have the time to hover over it right now 02:29:58 pleia2: I'm okay with this, too. 02:30:05 thirded 02:30:22 uh I hate the wiki spammers and can tell from pleia2 reaction at scale was harder 02:30:24 I'll make sure it's on my list when a long-term wiki solution presents itself 02:30:29 pleia2, yeah 02:31:00 We should also maybe discuss changing how Launchpad fits into LoCo membership. 02:31:22 A little later down the road, anyway. 02:31:25 * pleia2 nods 02:31:29 do we need launchpad for say election of new leaders ? 02:31:40 lynorian: good point 02:32:02 and for the flyers and cd sleeves, which allows members direct committing to the repository rather than doing a merge request 02:32:09 can't we manual add people still? 02:32:24 yep 02:32:57 We do *not*, but we use it for such now. 02:32:57 we could just as easily use the mailing list roster for civs mails for elections 02:33:17 yeah, we could 02:34:49 We'll have to consider that carefully before making any policy changes. 02:36:36 Well, we'll have to see how the wiki drama pans out, too. 02:36:43 * pleia2 nods 02:36:46 Any other comments before we wrap things up? 02:39:05 * lynorian does not have anything 02:39:57 thanks for chairing :) 02:40:11 You're welcome. :) 02:40:13 Okay then, that wraps up this week's meeting. We'll see you all on May 29th for our next meeting! 02:40:16 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
