Glad to be here. :) 02:07:02 I don't have anything scheduled for San Francisco at the moment (I've been too busy) but there is a local who is interested in helping out and to whom I owe an email 02:07:29 the monthly Ubuntu Hours in Pasadena are still happening, can see details and RSVP on our meetup page https://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/ 02:07:29 Title: [Ubuntu California LoCo (Los Angeles, CA)| Meetup] 02:07:56 next one is on May 11th, they happen right before the San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group meeting, so it's a good night 02:08:14 I think that's all we really have event-wise 02:08:34 #topic Any other business 02:08:49 this is the wild west part of the meeting :) 02:09:03 RogueScholar: what brings you here? 02:10:14 Well I've been in IT for going on a couple decades now, and I feel like part of my professional development at this stage needs to be promoting the causes that I care about. 02:10:31 that's great to hear, using Ubuntu where you work? 02:11:16 Haha, don't I wish. No I get to save that enjoyment for my personal PCs and homelab. 02:11:54 ah, fair enough, I remember those days 02:12:00 Truth be told, I'm not much of a Linux veteran, I think I onboarded with 14.04. 02:12:26 that's ok, always people coming and going from linux spheres, so it's nice to see new blood 02:13:06 Thanks, I'm relieved to see that there's not a certain threshold of prior involvement in order to participate here. 02:13:24 not at all, I always like to say that if you've been using Ubuntu a day longer than someone else, you have something to teach ;) 02:14:00 In regards to your mention of a San Francisco event, I too am a NorCal person, though a few hours north of SF, so please keep me in mind for activities up in this area. 02:14:02 a lot of our month to month events are pretty basic, "Ubuntu Hours" where we just go to a coffee shop and chat about the latest Ubuntu news and projects we're working on (both at work and as hobbies) 02:14:37 oh, good to know, have you been to North Bay LUG before? it's in Sebastopol http://nblug.org/ 02:14:37 Title: [North Bay Linux Users’ Group] 02:15:14 No I haven't, but I know Sebastopol very well, it's barely a couple hours away. I'm bookmarking them as we chat. :) 02:15:18 nice folks, often have super interesting meetings 02:15:32 I wish I could make it up, but from SF it's quite the hike on a week night 02:15:56 Oh you're based up north as well? 02:16:09 I live in downtown SF 02:16:38 In looking over the group page it seemed there was a heavy slant towards SoCal, so I just kind of assumed the leadership probably resided there as well. 02:17:04 we're pretty spread out :) 02:17:05 Well if I can drive to Sebastopol from Fort Bragg, then you can make the trek too. ;) 02:17:10 haha 02:18:35 I also work with a non-profit based in the bay area, Partimus.org, so some of our time is spent working with low-incoming housing facilities and schools (though fewer schools now) to put Linux-based machines in for residents and students 02:19:00 I'd say right now that's where most of my effort is focused Ubuntu-wise locally, instead of Ubuntu Hours 02:19:03 Oh no kidding?? I was just reading about their work not long ago, I wish I could recall where. 02:22:36 alright, I think we'll wrap up this meeting 02:22:50 usually nhandler and lynorian at least are also here, but quiet night :) 02:23:07 err, nhaines 02:23:09 It happens; spring is in the air. 02:23:16 but sometimes nhandler too! he's in london right now though 02:23:42 hope you got out to enjoy the weather today :) was gorgeous down here 02:24:31 and with that, let's conclude! 02:24:33 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
