[02:00] here [02:00] o/ [02:00] * eps waves [02:00] meee [02:00] * j_dulaney is president [02:01] j_dulaney, is a freind from the East Coast [02:01] ok, so we don't really have an agenda this time [02:01] nice! [02:02] anyone have any thoughts for events? announcements? anything to bring up? [02:02] I do [02:02] eps: cool, go for it [02:02] Take a look at this product description: http://www.frys.com/product/7126262 [02:02] ah yes, you dropped me an email about this [02:03] and compare it with the manufacturer's version: [02:03] it does inteed seem to run Ubuntu [02:03] http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-id41-linux.html [02:03] Fry's isn't very good at product descriptions ;) [02:03] Or maybe they don't it to come up in searches for Ubuntu [02:04] I was going to go to frys this week. Ill take a look at it if it is there [02:04] Frys has really bad descritpions imho [02:04] eps: I've had to look at the manufacturer's website for everything I've bought at Fry's, I wouldn't say it was an intentional oversight [02:04] I think it's just general Fry's bad descriptions [02:05] Should this product be listed here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed [02:05] If it's Ubuntu, that'll make it way better than any Linux stuff I've seen at Fry's before. [02:06] Is it Ubuntu? Have you seen one at Fry's? [02:06] I don't know much about that page (it's community-maintained and anyone can update it) [02:06] I saw it online. You know as much as I do. Supposedly it ships with oneric (not precise). [02:07] but if someone went to Fry's asking for Ubuntu, I'm pretty sure the sales staff wouldn't have a clue that device runs Ubuntu [02:07] Or Linux, even. [02:07] Im gonna look at it this week. I will be at frys and it claims to be available in store [02:08] It'll be interesting to see if these things are actually "in the wild." [02:08] * pleia2 nods [02:08] thanks philipballew :) [02:08] No problem [02:08] and nice find, eps! [02:08] philipballew: if it does, take pictures and blog about it :D [02:08] +1 [02:09] sounds like a good idea. I will do. [02:09] Ill ask the employes to see what they were trained to say as well. [02:09] * pleia2 nods [02:09] They're trained? [02:09] rofl [02:09] now now :) [02:10] I assume their dress code comes with training, yes. [02:10] sell this, and make sure your shirt is cleaned [02:11] MarkDude: did you want to mention the next Geeknic you're looking to plan? [02:11] You bet [02:11] June 23rd [02:11] heather Farms in Walnut Creek [02:12] doh, same day as Ubuntu User Days [02:12] * MarkDude has not created a listing on Geeknic.iorg yet [02:12] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F17_Bay_Area [02:12] can we do it Sunday instead? :) [02:13] +1 [02:13] * MarkDude already has this one locked in- [02:13] ah, ok [02:13] We are already planning a South bay event [02:13] as well as sumthin in July- if Linux Picnic is a nogo [02:13] Will there be a Beefy Miracle present? [02:14] And bacon? [02:14] Stickers [02:14] as well as Ubuntu CDs [02:14] ok, hopefully I can make it to the July one then :) [02:14] and other Ubuntu swag also [02:14] * MarkDude plans on having a vote on FB for dates [02:14] and taking votes on ML also [02:14] Any leftovers can go to BerkeleyLUG. ;-) [02:15] they will be added together [02:15] eps: hehe [02:15] :) [02:15] * MarkDude hopes eps can man a bbq [02:15] operate rather [02:15] I dunno ... my skills might be a bit rusty [02:15] * MarkDude trusts you [02:16] * MarkDude apologizes for the date thing [02:16] Do we have a bbg or does someone need to bring one? [02:16] they have them at the park [02:16] At UDS many people asked me about a bbq and told me the sooner the better [02:16] They do have them there [02:16] You might want to bring a small one for veggies [02:16] We always bring one for the vegetarians [02:17] seems smart [02:17] There will be Tofu Miracles also [02:17] hehe [02:17] As well as smoked peppers and other noms [02:17] tofu would be a beany miracle? [02:17] +1 [02:17] damn you akk- I should have asked you before I started calling it the Tofu miracle ;) [02:18] Thats better [02:18] :) [02:18] lol [02:18] * MarkDude was hoping to have a volunteer to email the list about the next event- as far as planning dates [02:19] It would be early July so as not to interupt OSCON and CLS [02:19] * MarkDude will bug folks on that later. [02:19] Pretty soon we should make plans to go to CLS in Portland [02:19] Carpools FULL of people should go to that [02:20] * MarkDude shuts up now [02:20] :) [02:20] but not too close to 4th of july :) [02:20] True [02:20] makes the poll easier [02:21] Ill be busy with all the fireworks I bought out of state [02:21] Explosions in the sky? [02:21] ah wow, oscon is earlier than I thought [02:21] * philipballew should probably not say that [02:21] theoretically of course philipballew [02:21] ;) [02:21] maybe do it in really *late* july [02:21] For anyone perusing the channel logs, philipballew was just kidding about that. :) [02:21] akk, +1 [02:21] hahah [02:22] lol [02:22] ok, anyone have anything else before philipballew further incriminates himself? :) [02:23] Incriminates or incinerates? [02:23] heh [02:23] touche [02:23] eps+1 [02:23] * j_dulaney wants to light it all off [02:24] the next SF Ubuntu Hour is next week, June 13th [02:24] * pleia2 will add a loco portal event in a bit [02:24] i'll likely be in Sac that day [02:24] Ill be there pleia2 [02:25] philipballew: great :) [02:25] With or without Bay Area Debian?
