<elementc> oh hi guys
<itnet7> Thanks for speaking on my behalf :-p
<dantalizing> hey elementc
<dantalizing> long time no see
<elementc> long time no see
<itnet7> I'm round it's hard to stop
<elementc> haha
<elementc> so... what's up?
<dantalizing> so for those who arent usually around, the active team usually meets up in here to discuss advocacy, release events, install fests, general user help, or whatever
<dantalizing> and the otehr 99% is nonsense
<dantalizing> meeting agenda is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/Meetings
<emet> lol

<dantalizing> which is typical
<dantalizing> ;0

<emet> I am from Ft.Lauderdale
<jamesrfla> Ft. Myers
<dantalizing> emet is now the miami organizer
<dantalizing> :)
<emet> rofl
<emet> okay
<dantalizing> seriously, we talked about doing a face to face meetup on the 21st of feb
<dantalizing> barcamp miami is 22nd
<dantalizing> and FOWA is 23rd & 24th
<emet> I'm probably going to barcamp miami
<dantalizing> me too
<dantalizing> driving down to miami is too far for 1 night :)
<elementc> miami's out of my workplace. whens the next barcamp orlando :P
<dantalizing> we were gonna do a release party/installfest, but that kinda dies
<dantalizing> *died
<dantalizing> so maybe we can build off the f2f for the future
<emet> FAU had a pretty big installfest a few years ago :o
<dantalizing> really? cool
<dantalizing> well hopefully we can do something big for jaunty release
<emet> yeah they had speakers and stuff too
<elementc> afk; brb
<dantalizing> zbrown suggested umm
<dantalizing> crap
<dantalizing> oh
<emet> the problem is FAU seriously cut it's extracurricular budget and pretty much all the student clubs are hurting
<dantalizing> titanic brewery
<dantalizing> saturday night
<dantalizing> i know at least 2 of us will be there
<dantalizing> but if there are other, better suggestions, for location
<emet> is that Miami?
<dantalizing> yes
<dantalizing> near um i understand
<dantalizing> or is it mu?
<emet> mu?
<dantalizing> UM
<dantalizing> Miami
<emet> ah
<emet> UM is deep into Miami
<dantalizing> well thats the only suggestion we've had so far
<dantalizing> i called a couple place
<emet> you live in Miami?
<dantalizing> but they were either booked or $$$
<emet> I know zbrown goes to UM
<dantalizing> emet: no, in gainesville
<emet> damn
<emet> lol
<emet> does UF has a LUG?
<dantalizing> emet: thats the prob...i really have no idea about miami locations
<elementc> kback. civic centers or parks?
<dantalizing> i was just digging on the google
<dantalizing> emet: GatorLUG
<jamesrfla> pak33m!!!!!
<elementc> ohly smokes its been a while
<dantalizing> elementc: the suggestion i got from a couple of miami expatriots was for libraries
<dantalizing> but that would assume we're gonna do install/release activities
<dantalizing> we have nobody taking the lead on that
<pak33m> hi everybody
<dantalizing> so we're just gonna do a f2f for now
<dantalizing> morning pak33m
<elementc> libraries will typically kick you out or charge if you have more than 15 in my experience.
<jamesrfla> meeting time 17min late...
<itnet7> elementc didn't you say you were from Brevard? I held a linux sig for the space coast computer group and there were like 60 of them at the Library in Cocoa
<emet> I know someone who uses Ubuntu from Bevard
<emet> Brevard*
<itnet7> Yeah, who ? :-)
<dantalizing> ok, so barring any other suggestions, we're still Titanic Brewery on 2/22

<dantalizing> but whateva
<zoopster> bummer...he's a character
<zoopster> I haven't spoken with him since my move...maybe time for a call
<itnet7> He might have just been so excited to get close to maddog, he wasn't thinking about what he was saying
<dantalizing> maybe
<MianoSM1> What was said?

<dantalizing> NTTP: i meant bordy ;)
<zoopster> pak33m: I can't hang out that long...so I'm sure you can be back well before then!

<NTTP> Moved away from Polk county 7 months ago....
<pak33m> zoopster: you mean the tampa meetup?
<itnet7> Yeah that might be really cool to go to the gig after the meetup, unless pak33m is going to play flock of seagulls all night :-P
<mhall119> We get donated computers, load them up with a derivative of Xubuntu, and give them to kids with special needs
<zoopster> pak33m: yea
<dantalizing> that is awesome mhall119
<NTTP> mhall119: Awesome - I wish that you had that going when I was still over there.

<mhall119> I just finished putting together a LiveCD of Qimo (my distro), but unfortunately I have nowhere to host the image. If anyone want's a copy, I'll burn you one and snail-mail it
<pak33m> and i am a fine dj!

<NTTP> I updated my info on the team website - if anyone needs me you can find my info there or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NeoTaoistTechnoPagan
<mhall119> sure, if anyone is willing to host it and can spare the bandwidth, I'd be thrilled
<dantalizing> nttp glad to see you're coming back more often

<pak33m> itnet7: so what time is the minivan swiging into orlando on sat?
<NTTP> just make the exception for a 'former' Ubuntu-er. I've gone back to Gentoo ;-)
<dantalizing> oh thats sad
<zoopster> MianoSM: what kind of bandwidth do you have to host with?
<MianoSM> umm, I think 100/100
<itnet7> Holy crap... we actually have to have some organization this time... and a schedule :-)
<mhall119> I got the most basic GoDaddy service
<itnet7> not sure...
<dantalizing> nice MianoSM
<mhall119> I'm operating out of my own pocket, which unfortunately isn't very deep
<NTTP> must go - getting 'the look' from the wife
<pak33m> itnet7: ok let me know
<itnet7> I think we are planning on leaving rockledge around 7:00am
<zoopster> yeesh...mhall119...take up MianoSM offer
<MianoSM> I have access to a couple of data centers, but not all of my hosts are ubuntu.
<dantalizing> NTTP: see ya soon
<itnet7> bye NTTP
<dantalizing> MianoSM: do you have 2u of rack space?
<pak33m> itnet7: will you have your boots polished by then too
<mhall119> MianoSM: if you would be willing to host it that would be wonderful
<itnet7> lol
<itnet7> we are going to try to make it on time for 10
<pak33m> itnet7: do you have room for me
<itnet7> Of course!
<pak33m> itnet7: nice well i have gas money for you
<mhall119> MianoSM: our charity email is info@quinncoincorporated.org
<pak33m> wow that was like high school
<itnet7> Pak33m, no worries!
<pak33m> giving gas money that is
<mhall119> We're also going to have a vendor table at this year's Autism Walk at MOSI, on March 28th, if anyone was going to be attending that come look for us
<pak33m> talk to you all later. wife is not calling but i have to sleep
<dantalizing> MOSI?
<dantalizing> later pak33m
<zoopster> Museum of Science and Industry
<mhall119> and we've just picked 10 4th and 5th grade students from a Plant City elementary school that we're sending computers to as soon as I get them built
<zoopster> very cool place
<zoopster> mosi.org
<mhall119> if you sign up for the walk, you get free admission for the day
<zoopster> see ya pak33m
<mhall119> and they usually have free food too, hotdogs and such
<mhall119> Anybody know where I can get professionally produced CDs, on the cheap?
<dantalizing> mhall119: i've looked online before, but not really ever used any of them
<dantalizing> ok i'm out
<dantalizing> thx everyone
<mhall119> thanks dantalizing
<MianoSM> g'nite
<zoopster> see ya
<zoopster> mhall119: define cheap
<mhall119> under $200
<zoopster> for how many
<mhall119> I'd like at least 50, but there were 10,000 participants at last year's walk, so as many as I can get for my budget
<mhall119> I'd even take blank CD-Rs that have been professionally printed, and I can burn them myself
<zoopster> there are a few guys around tampa with burners that do this sort of thing...I have never used any of them and I don't have a list any more...you should be able to get 500+ for $200 if you have everything already setup (artwork and burned cd)
<mhall119> local shops or national chains?
<zoopster> local shops with duplicators...I'd start with the mom&pop printer shops
<zoopster> cd's in bulk are el cheapo anymore and the setup is a piece of cake...with the economy...I'll bet you can do good
<mhall119> I'll check around, got to get a Tampa yellow pages
<zoopster> I'll try to search around this week and will ping your info@ email if I find something
<mhall119> thanks
<zoopster> superpages.com
<mhall119> I work in St. Pete, so I'll check around there too
<zoopster> I have plenty of yellow pages if you want one...and am in tampa...we're having a f2f meeting on Saturday...http://meetup.com/Tampa-Linux if interested
<zoopster> I can bring a copy
<mhall119> Unfortunately I have to finish moving my stuff out of my old house this weekend, so I can't attent
<dantalizing> morning esarjeant
<jamesrfla> back
<jamesrfla> What did I miss?
<zoopster> mhall119: bummer...oh well, next time
<mhall119> yeah, now that I found the LoCo channel, I'll be here more often
<mhall119> what do you do at the meetups?
<jamesrfla> cool mhall119
<itnet7> first half hour is devoted to jump-ins
<itnet7> j/k
<mhall119> is there a way to save a bookmark or something to a channel in Pidgin?
<jamesrfla> you mean like a log?
<mhall119> no, so that I can easily find my way back here without having to remember the channel name
<jamesrfla> o
