[02:02] <pleia2> so things are coming together here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/TrustyRelease
[02:02] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/TrustyRelease - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:02] <rww> o/
[02:02] <Roguehorse> o/
[02:02] <pleia2> I don't see philip here now, but he's hosting a little Ubuntu Hour-esque get together in San Diego on Thursday: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2765-ubuntu-san-diego-1404-release-party/
[02:02] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu San Diego 14.04 Release Party | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
[02:03] <pleia2> I've been working with folks to get the San Francisco event to come together: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/TrustyRelease/SanFrancisco
[02:03] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/TrustyRelease/SanFrancisco - Ubuntu Wiki]
[02:03] <pleia2> we'll have three Nexus 7s running Ubuntu for folks to check out :D
[02:03] <rww> How does the SD release party time work when the place it's at closes at 11:30?
[02:03] <raevol> ack a little late,  but here!
[02:03] <rww> post-starbucks bar time?
[02:04] <pleia2> rww: hah, good question (for philip)
[02:04] <nhaines> Yeah, the party ends a couple hours after that Starbucks closes.  Something to track.
[02:04] <nhaines> Oh hey, I should read the entire scrollback.  But yes.
[02:05] <pleia2> :)
[02:05] <rww> anyways, San Francisco
[02:05] <pleia2> we have a lot of signups
[02:05] <pleia2> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2761-san-francisco-trusty-release-party/
[02:05] <darthrobot> Title: [San Francisco Trusty Release Party | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
[02:05] <pleia2> more than we've had for an event before, I'm impressed :)
[02:05] <pleia2> (and a little scared)
[02:05] <rww> hehe :)
[02:06] <pleia2> the venue has that URL to track RSVPs, so they know what's coming, I'll follow up directly with them to make sure all is in order
[02:06] <rww> what's left on the todo list?
[02:06] <Roguehorse> What's the parking like around there and how close to BART?
[02:06] <nhaines> That's good news.  :)
[02:06] <pleia2> Roguehorse: it's between Powell and Civic Center BART, very close
[02:06] <pleia2> Roguehorse: parking is awful, downtown and all
[02:06]  * rww is BARTing
[02:06] <Roguehorse> pleia2: BART it is!
[02:06]  * pleia2 recommends Powell :)
[02:07] <Roguehorse> pleia2: K, TY
[02:07] <nhaines> pleia2: if there's a massive turnout and everyone's using public transport, maybe you can get a special price at the bar.
[02:07] <pleia2> rww: todo list - I don't think anything
[02:07] <pleia2> nhaines: the venue is providing drinks already :)
[02:07] <nhaines> ooh  :)
[02:07] <rww> pleia2: food?
[02:07] <nhaines> rww: the important part is covered though.
[02:07] <pleia2> rww: I submitted a community funding request to Canonical for food
[02:07] <nhaines> Clever!
[02:08] <pleia2> it's landing on my credit card though, will submit receipts for reimbursement (hopefully they approve it!)
[02:08]  * nhaines crosses his fingers.
[02:08] <Roguehorse> Ouch
[02:08] <pleia2> we'll order a bunch of pizzas from Extreme pizza probably should figure out what actually
[02:08] <nhaines> Make sure you get extra anchovies.
[02:08] <pleia2> we were going to do Costco pizzas, but logistics for getting hot pizzas to the venus is hard :\
[02:08] <nhaines> They get soggy, but pickles will add more crunch.
[02:09] <pleia2> I want folks to have fun, not be sending everyone out on pizza runs
[02:09] <nhaines> Please report back on that.
[02:09]  * rww glares at nhaines 
[02:09] <pleia2> hah
[02:09] <rww> pleia2: did you get the quiz sorted out :D?
[02:09]  * rww is trying to think of things to do
[02:09] <pleia2> rww: haven't even started :)
[02:09] <Roguehorse> Pizza works, easy. Trash can be a bugger though.
[02:09] <pleia2> rww: I can create a google doc and we can collaborate on questions if you want
[02:10] <rww> pleia2: woohoo. works for me
[02:10] <Roguehorse> pleia2: Smart idea
[02:10] <rww> btw, i'll be leaving work at 4:30 so i'll be there a bit after it starts
[02:10] <rww> do you need volunteers to help set up, or is it minimal setup?
[02:10] <pleia2> rww: PM me your email address for sharing goog docs?
[02:10] <pleia2> rww: might need setup volunteers to make sure we have cords and things run properly
[02:11] <pleia2> rww: if you could also bring the SCaLE stuff, we might use some of that
[02:11] <rww> pleia2: sure
[02:11] <eps> Roguehorse: There is paid parking at the Fifth and Mission garage. See http://sfpark.org/
[02:11] <darthrobot> Title: [SFpark]
[02:11] <Roguehorse> I would help set up but have to wait for a sitter before I can go.
[02:11] <pleia2> eps: thanks!
[02:12] <Roguehorse> eps: Thanks, I'll go BART though.
[02:12] <pleia2> I have jyo coming by my place to help me haul over goodies too, 3 laptops and snacks from Costco (meeting eps at Costco the night before to pick up cookies and things)
[02:13] <pleia2> I'll firm up what time we want to meet for setup, event starts at 6:00 so getting there by 5:30 for setup seems fine
[02:13]  * ianorlin wonders if laptops will run out of power or if they are plugs?
[02:13] <pleia2> ianorlin: I've packed a power strip, but I should ask about actual access to power :)
[02:14] <Roguehorse> Has anyone checked the weather forcast? Just for giggles if anything else.
[02:14] <pleia2> I have my little presentation prepped too, only like 10 minutes long (and will crib from nhaines' as well once that's around)
[02:14]  * pleia2 never looks at weather forecasts
[02:14]  * eps wonders about the wisdom of bringing touchscreens to an event where everyone's likely to have greasy fingers
[02:14] <pleia2> haha
[02:14] <Roguehorse> eps: LOL!!!!!
[02:14] <Roguehorse> good call
[02:14] <rww> yeah, I was bothered about that. figure i can just clean it off at the end of the evening though :P
[02:15]  * pleia2 makes sign "please wipe pizza grease off hands before fondling tablets" :P
[02:15] <Roguehorse> have packets of wipes EVERYWHERE!
[02:15] <pleia2> haha, not a bad idea
[02:15] <eps> +1
[02:15] <pleia2> eps: haz wipes at costco? :)
[02:15] <Roguehorse> get a case of baby wipes
[02:16] <pleia2> alright, cool
[02:16] <Roguehorse> ok, maybe a case is much
[02:16] <pleia2> hehe
[02:16] <lrcaballero> If someone can bring a couple of microfiber towels can help with the graese part...Costco sells 30 of them for like $18
[02:17] <Roguehorse> lrcaballero: Good thought, but the microfibers can't be tossed
[02:17] <nhaines> Fry's had 4 for $5.  Might be more economical for just one night.
[02:17] <nhaines> Roguehorse: you wash them.  :)
[02:17] <Roguehorse> nhaines: but that many people at once?
[02:17] <eps> I should just look for Wet-Naps. (Smart and Final or Cash and Carry?)
[02:17] <lrcaballero> Roguehorse: save them, wash them and use them for the car...hehe!
[02:18] <Roguehorse> eh, bring em anyway
[02:18] <nhaines> eps: giant bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
[02:18] <pleia2> lol
[02:18] <Roguehorse> nhaines: LOL!!!
[02:18] <rww> cover the tablets in clingwrap
[02:18] <eps> nhaines: planning on removing blood stains?
[02:18] <Roguehorse> are we getting off topic?
[02:18] <Roguehorse> ; P
[02:18] <pleia2> ok, point taken about grease, I'll bring something along to handle it and remind attendees to be respectful
[02:19] <Roguehorse> pleia2: +1
[02:19] <nhaines> +1
[02:19] <pleia2> anything else we can think of?
[02:19]  * ianorlin has nothing else
[02:19] <rww> remember to install stallboard on your tablets
[02:20] <rww> for the ultimate ubuntu touch experience
[02:20] <Roguehorse> maybe extra cords in case some fool is mean and takes one?
[02:21] <nhaines> During the party?
[02:21] <raevol> power strips?
[02:21] <Roguehorse> idk, it was just a thought
[02:21] <Roguehorse> nah, interface
[02:21] <Roguehorse> no one is going to go for a PS cord
[02:22] <pleia2> rww: haha, I am trying to avoid it to avoid offending people :)
[02:22]  * pleia2 went with "random cats"
[02:22] <nhaines> cats! \o/
[02:22] <rww> pleia2: i have been terrorising elky with it
[02:22] <pleia2> lol
[02:23] <pleia2> this is shaping up nicely, I'm excited :)
[02:23] <rww> so am I :D
[02:23] <Roguehorse> agreed
[02:23] <pleia2> any other release party updates from anyone?
[02:23] <pleia2> s/party/event
[02:23] <rww> i was excited when it was 20 people, then i looked today and was wowed
[02:23] <Roguehorse> what r we @?
[02:23] <nhaines> I have some related forms I'll publish soon.
[02:23] <pleia2> 30 registered on the site, 6 emailed me directly, and 17 maybes
[02:24] <Roguehorse> not bad!
[02:24] <nhaines> We have a promotional flyer, an attendee datasheet based on the Installfest HOWTO forms...
[02:24] <raevol> u'll bug phil about the SD one
[02:24] <rww> do we have anything else going on apart from SF, SD, and the installfest at OCLUG?
[02:24] <pleia2> oh, I'm bringing "Hello, my name is" stickers too ;)
[02:24] <Roguehorse> this is going to be fun! : )
[02:24] <pleia2> nhaines: nice!
[02:24] <pleia2> rww: I think that's it
[02:24] <Roguehorse> pleia2: LOL! Always a fave
[02:24] <rww> any action items?
[02:24] <eps> We need "Hello, my nick is" stickers ;-)
[02:24] <nhaines> And best of all, the CSUF faculty are really excited, so I have a full-page "talking points" sheet that breaks down Ubuntu, Installfests, and OCLUG.
[02:25] <nhaines> So that'll be easy to adapt.  :)
[02:25] <Roguehorse> eps: Going to have to custom do those
[02:25] <pleia2> nhaines: that's awesome
[02:26] <Roguehorse> eps: http://www.vistaprint.com/
[02:26] <darthrobot> [R: www.vistaprint.com] Title: [Browsing's better with cookies enabled.]
[02:26] <nhaines> All Ubuntu color palette.  The LUG saw it this month and were really happy with them.
[02:26] <rww> i should get business cards one of these years
[02:26] <nhaines> Otherwise, the installfest is looking like it's going to be good.  So I'll keep everyone up to date.  :)
[02:26] <pleia2> \o/
[02:26] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
[02:27] <pleia2> any other topics anyone wants to bring up?
[02:27] <Roguehorse> anyone have raffle prizes to donate?
[02:27] <raevol> texted phil, SD release party on for this thursday at 7pm, that venue should be open then
[02:28] <rww> raevol: yep, it's the ending time i was confused about
[02:28] <rww> since it ends at 1am and starbucks closes at 11:30pm
[02:28] <nhaines> Can we get that on the wiki or something?
[02:28] <raevol> i think that's if we stroll over to a more late-night oriented venue :p haha
[02:28] <rww> ah, okays :)
[02:28] <pleia2> so far the raffle prizes are:
[02:28] <pleia2>  * 1 Ubuntu Unleashed 2014 book
[02:28] <pleia2>  * 1 Official Ubuntu Server book
[02:28] <rww> nhaines: lyz just did
[02:28] <nhaines> yay
[02:28] <pleia2> if anyone else has new Ubuntu goodies to bring along as prizes, please do :)
[02:29] <pleia2> I also asked jono if he had anything to bring
[02:29] <eps> Do we know if he's coming?
[02:29] <pleia2> he is!
[02:29] <nhaines> pleia2: have him bring a Nexus 4 or something.
[02:29] <nhaines> Or the Official Ubuntu Book!
[02:29] <pleia2> nhaines: haha, for the raffle? :)
[02:29] <nhaines> pleia2: yes  :)
[02:29] <pleia2> Official Ubuntu Book is 7th edition and getting a bit long in the tooth :\
[02:29] <rww> then we can prank call mozilla on it
[02:31] <Roguehorse> I'm out of ideas
[02:31] <pleia2> hah, me too
[02:31] <pleia2> might be meeting end time :)
[02:31] <nhaines> Oh!  One thing.
[02:31] <Roguehorse> ??
[02:31] <nhaines> I put links to the OCLUG installfest documents on the mailing list on April 9th.  So far they're still the same.
[02:31] <pleia2> cool
[02:31] <nhaines> So if anyone wants printables for a release party, there's a start.
[02:32] <eps> pleia2: will we need cups, plates, tableware, etc.?
[02:32] <Roguehorse> eps: just wet wipes
[02:32] <pleia2> eps: I don't think so, but I'll doublecheck (and extreme can provide if needed)
[02:32] <Roguehorse> LOL!!
[02:32] <pleia2> definitely won't need cups
[02:33] <Roguehorse> of course not, we won't have any printers there
[02:34] <pleia2> :P
[02:34] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone
[02:34] <raevol> \o/
