<itnet7> hello everyone ;-)
<crashsystems> greetings
<itnet7> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/Meetings agenda is small tonight
<Lupine> howdy
<itnet7> we can wait a couple of minutes, but lets do a show of hands :-)
<jamesrfla> Hey
<mhall119> present
* itnet7 is here
* Chorca is here, for the first time evars
<itnet7> Hey there Chorca!! Welcome Aboard!
* crashsystems is really just a bot pretending to be crashsystems.
<jamesrfla> I am here
<maxolasersquad> Here (kinda)
<maxolasersquad> I'm helping my daughter do her homework.
<itnet7> Nice! good Dad!
<Chorca> hehe
<itnet7> Okay well not much on the agenda
<crashsystems> lol
<itnet7> I had created a while back a Linked-In Group
<mhall119> link?
<itnet7> I can get it for you... hold one sec
<itnet7> http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=753617
<jamesrfla> sorry back
<maxolasersquad> Joined.
<mhall119> joined
<itnet7> oh cool
<dantalizing> morning
<mhall119> the mod sure is slow in accepting....
<mhall119> must have better things to do
<itnet7> I just approved you
<mhall119> oh, cool
<itnet7> I have temporarily made it to where one of us that is in the channel all the time has to kind of know who you are before adding you
<itnet7> if you know what I mena
<itnet7> Hey there dcabot
<mhall119> like some kind of elite secret society, right?
<maxolasersquad> Is a sacrifice involved?
<dantalizing> l33t
<crashsystems> Ubuntu Illuminati
<dcabot> Did I interrupt?
<itnet7> the linked-in group will be a place that we can share Ideas and potentially recruit some team members
<itnet7> dcabot, we kind of just started welcome aboard
<itnet7> sort of a secret society :-)
<mhall119> crashsystems can be our official cryptographer
<crashsystems> lol
<itnet7> I know that everyone is busy, in the linked-in group there are opportunities for people to ask questions and post topics, feel free to comment and answer things Really good stuff we'll add to the blog
<maxolasersquad> Can I knock of people that piss us off?
<maxolasersquad> knock off
<itnet7> +1 mhall119
<mhall119> maxolasersquad: only once you reach level 10
<itnet7> In the linked-in group?
<crashsystems> my question is, is it _only_ useful for finding employment opportunities?
<mhall119> itnet7: I think he meant in real life
<itnet7> OH gotcha secret society/mobsters :-)
<maxolasersquad> That may take awhile :(
<mhall119> we need our own 4chan board, so FoxNews will talk about us
<itnet7> Linked in can be used for much more
<itnet7> but no one has to join it's only out there in case you want to
<crashsystems> If I put my email address in there, is it publicly visible?
<itnet7> I am not sure I can find out and let you know
<crashsystems> ok
<jamesrfla> foxnews was talking about us?
<mhall119> if not, we can all publicize it other places for you
<maxolasersquad> It is definitely viewable by people you link with.
<mhall119> jamesrfla: no, about 4chan, thinks they're some super-hacker cult
<jamesrfla> ah I see
<maxolasersquad> It is not viewable by anyone that you aren't linked with.
<crashsystems> cool
<itnet7> I am just not sure about people searching through groupmembers seeing addresses of people that aren't linked
<itnet7> Oh...
<itnet7> thanks maxo
<dantalizing> ?
<mhall119> lies
<itnet7> just approved you too maxo
<mhall119> is zoopster here today?
<itnet7> I haven't seen him all day
<dantalizing> he was alive earlier
<dantalizing> is that it?
<mhall119> hmm, is there any way to associate our IRC nick with our LinkedIn name on the group? I don't know who half those people are
<itnet7> Yeah, for the first topic
<itnet7> let me look while Dan begins his topic
<dantalizing> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/Projects/JauntyReleaseParties
<dantalizing> lotsa release parties
<mhall119> party!
<dantalizing> was also hoping zoopster would be around
<crashsystems> France may have had the biggest release party, but we will have the most parties!
<dantalizing> main thing is, we still need help in miami
<mhall119> also the coolest
<dantalizing> and if you dont live where we're having a party, please, start your own
<zoopster> huh?
<mhall119> we need a location for Tampa too
<zoopster> I'm around
<itnet7> cool!
<dantalizing> itnet7: do you have details for melbourne yet?
<mhall119> zoopster: Tampa release party, we still going to do one?
<itnet7> No
<zoopster> yes...on the calendar 2 May
<zoopster> working on a venue...suggestions?
<dantalizing> j chris?
<dantalizing> what kind of thing are you planning?
<zoopster> for a morning/mid-day thing...yes...they close at 2p
<mhall119> zoopster: how about a store?
<zoopster> was thinking to have a late afternoon...dinner drinks thing
<zoopster> store?
<zoopster> as in?
<dantalizing> cool
<mhall119> I don't think they'd go for it, but having it in the middle of a Best Buy would get a lot of attention
<dantalizing> i can leave tallahassee and head to tampa :)
<mhall119> food and drink would be out, obviously
<zoopster> that's a 4 hr drive dantalizing
<mhall119> maybe a smaller computer shop would be willing though
<dantalizing> mortal
<zoopster> if we did a best buy thing...I'd want it on the night of the 23rd
<itnet7> May 2nd was the only available day at the Library I was going to reserve a room
<Chorca> aww no time data for O-town yet
<itnet7> I don't want to hold it the same day as two others
<zoopster> mhall119: that's what I was thinking...I have not been able to dig into a local linux shop, yet
<dantalizing> itnet7: right
<dantalizing> Chorca: coming soon!
<mhall119> zoopster: doesn't have to be a linux shop
<Chorca> hehe
<Chorca> i'm in waterford lakes, so anything in o-town
<zoopster> mhall119: well..not going to go to citrus park computers...they can't even spell open source or linux
<mhall119> any mom and pop computer store would probably love having their name and address on flyers advertising a software release party
<Chorca> if not i can go to melbourne lol
<dantalizing> Chorca: or both :)
<Chorca> haha tru
<itnet7> Chorca, that would Rock!
<mhall119> zoopster: wherever it is, can you bring that projector you had at FLS?
<zoopster> mhall119: happy to...
<dantalizing> mhall119: will be presenting?
<mhall119> I can
<mhall119> I was hoping to make the party double as a build day, but that'll depend on the venue
<maxolasersquad> We've got a local Linux friendly shop, but it would be too small for a party.
<dantalizing> maxolasersquad: have you notified the tallahassee lug?
<dantalizing> i tried to stir up something in pensacola, but so far they're pretty stiff
<maxolasersquad> No. I didn't see any contact information on their website.
<maxolasersquad> My brother has an Ubuntu user that is in the LUG there. I'll see if I can get him to peer-pressure him.
<zoopster> mhall119: I have the same desire
<itnet7> I set a tentative date for May 9th
<itnet7> for Melbourne/Rockledge
<dantalizing> itnet7: brb
<dantalizing> things i was hoping to get: details, more cities
<Chorca> omg jaunty on the mini9 is pretty hot
<itnet7> Chorca everything working for ya?
<crashsystems> linkedin membership pending approval.
<Chorca> pretty much. I noticed that someone got the new notifications to show up, although it's not running under compiz cause aparrantly the launcher hates it
<jamesrfla> sorry i haven't been paying attention in here a meeting ran late.
<dantalizing> back
<dantalizing> lots of new people tonight
<mhall119> bbl, going to pick up chinese takeout
<dantalizing> and some rare attendees
<itnet7> crashsystems, approved :-)
<Chorca> i'd been meaning to jump into one of these, just kept forgetting. :P
<dantalizing> morning _Cloud_ dcabot homer maxolasersquad
<itnet7> Chorca, are you on the mailing list?
<zoopster> what linkedin group?
<mhall119> zoopster: if you can find a computer shop that's not already looking at Linux, maybe a release party will convince them to run it on some demo setups
<itnet7> I created a Florida Team Linked-in Group
<Chorca> yeah
<zoopster> mhall119: good idea...I know of a few that may be interested who I have worked with in the past...might be a good opp
<itnet7> http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=753617&trk=anet_ug_hm
<zoopster> thank you itnet7
<dantalizing> oops
<dantalizing> morning mack_dbFL
<zoopster> cool...membership pending
<zoopster> thanks
<zoopster> so...Tampa team poll - 2 May? or 23 April?
<dantalizing> evening
<dantalizing> :)
<mhall119> your group is growing fast itnet7
<itnet7> approved zoopster :-)
<Epidemic> Anyone dealing with an Atheros wireless adapter for your laptop? Mine sometimes connects to my wireless and sometimes it doesn't.... :-/
<itnet7> woohoo!
<zoopster> Epidemic: I use atheros on my stinkpad - never had a problem
<Epidemic> I'm using WPA with tkip/aes and it just is finicky...
<dantalizing> so nobody has a preference for may 2 or april 23?
<Epidemic> I have a symbol in the wireless network key but that shouldn't change anything...
<zoopster> what version? and what kernel?
<crashsystems> Epidemic I recently had connection problems with a RalLink card, due to the TKIP/AES combo. Go straight AES and see how that works.
<zoopster> I had severe problems with 8.10 and a earlier kernel
<Epidemic> I changed the AP to only use AES but same issue
<zoopster> the latest kernel and wireless parts fixed it
<Epidemic> 2.6.27-11-generic
<Epidemic> how do I check my versions on wireless?
<zoopster> that's what I have now
<Epidemic> NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0?
<itnet7> zoopster what time would you do it May 2nd and how far away is tallahasse?
<dcabot> I can help, but I'm not running it.
<Epidemic> As far as the package manager says everything is up to date :-/
<zoopster> itnet7: I'd like to do a late afternoon early evening thing...4 hr drive tpa/tlh
<dcabot> I'm right there.
<dantalizing> dcabot: where?
<maxolasersquad> itnet7: Where are you?
<itnet7> I am in Melbourne
<dcabot> We're talking TPA, no?
<dantalizing> dcabot: yes
<zoopster> yes dcabot
<dcabot> Am I the only near tampa?
<itnet7> Can you do May 9th Zoopster?
<zoopster> dcabot: no...quite a few of us are in and around tampa
<itnet7> I can change my date
<maxolasersquad> That would be quite a drive.
<itnet7> I would like to try and go to tallahassee and I don't want to miss yours
<zoopster> I could...figured that would be too late and why I was asking about the release night
<itnet7> Oh... gotcha
<maxolasersquad> 324 miles according to Google Maps.
<maxolasersquad> That would be amazing if you could make it.
<zoopster> Epidemic: for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the package
<dcabot> madwifi
<itnet7> To where tallahassee
<maxolasersquad> Yes
<dantalizing> itnet7: its 2 hrs from gainesville
<itnet7> OMG
<itnet7> My sense of direction seriously stinks
<zoopster> no, dcabot I don't use madwifi...using ath9k now, but the kernel bits are included in a meta package and I don't remember the name
<maxolasersquad> It would probably take five hours.
<maxolasersquad> It is four hours from Orlando.
<dantalizing> just be glad there is nothing in pensacola yet :)
<Epidemic> zoopster: package?
<dantalizing> pensacola = 5 hrs from tlh
<maxolasersquad> brb
<itnet7> I would probably have to come up to gainesville and hitch a ride if a certain person is going to tlh
<dantalizing> or is it 5 hrs from gainesville? i forget
<zoopster> dantalizing: from gnv
<dantalizing> ah
<dantalizing> thx zoopster
<zoopster> dantalizing: you can do tlh-pns in 3
<dantalizing> then mobile in 45 more mins!
<zoopster> yep
<zoopster> lived there for my first 25 years (Pns that is)
<dantalizing> itnet7: are you up for the SE Jaunty Release Party Caravan?
<zoopster> all of my fam lives there
<itnet7> lol
<dantalizing> we got hax (our puppy) from freeport
<dantalizing> so this is my plan.. release party in gainesvile, steal a car, release party in tlh early, release party in pns late.. overnight in mobile
<maxolasersquad> ~2.5 hours from gville
<dantalizing> ditch the car, release party in mobile, bus to biloxi, release party in biloxi
<itnet7> you seriously rock dan if you pull that off!
<dantalizing> bus to new orleans, release party, fly to tpa
<itnet7> ROFL
<dantalizing> release party
<itnet7> You are cracking me up
<jamesrfla> ?
<dantalizing> zoopster gives us a ride back to gainesville
<maxolasersquad> I'll put full coverage on my van and then you can grab it.
<dantalizing> deal
<maxolasersquad> Insurance should give me $50 for it.
<itnet7> teehee
<dantalizing> meh
<crashsystems> I know of no one who uses linkedin :(
<dantalizing> they'll find it behind a best buy in mobile
<itnet7> Well you know of at least 9 people they are all on the Florida Team
<crashsystems> true
<dcabot> Did you punch in all your old jobs?
<crashsystems> punch?
<dcabot> enter...
<dcabot> Back from the punch card days...
<crashsystems> I'll add only things I think relevant to the computer/tech field (for now at least).
<Epidemic> zoopster: if you figure it out message me if you don't mind :)
<zoopster> Epidemic: linux backports...that's what I used to get the latest driver
<zoopster> and that fixed my problems completely
<dcabot> I'll match you up with people from your old jobs.
<dcabot> It'll
<zoopster> interestingly enough, Epidemic, I don't show it installed right now...but I did have problems with wpa and that fixed it (latest kernel/latest driver) using backports
<dcabot> Is that it with the planning?
<zoopster> crashsystems: you know of me...I use linkedin
<crashsystems> woot! I know peoplez!
<itnet7> omg off topic... buy.com has/had 16 Gb microsd cards for 44.99
<itnet7> http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-16gb-microsdhc-card/q/loc/101/209874873.html
<dantalizing> dcabot: for now, i think
<dantalizing> we done itnet7?
<itnet7> Sure, sounds good to me
<dantalizing> lol
<Chorca> whats rediculous about the mini 9 though.. you can't get SSds for them right now, noone has them!
<dcabot> I missed it for the tampa date. What was it again?
<dantalizing> dcabot: its still up in the air
<dantalizing> may 2 or april 23
<Epidemic> inet7: there's a 32gb for $54
<mhall119> I'd prefer a weekend evening if we can
<mhall119> even the 24th
<itnet7> 32 Gb microsd?
<itnet7> I am not sure if a g1 can see more than 16 atm
<Epidemic> err, thought it was flash, nvm
<itnet7> good deal though!
<crashsystems> has the meeting ended, or have we just gotten way off topic?
<itnet7> does anyone else have anything to bring up?
<itnet7> if not I would consider it over :-)
* zoopster is patiently waiting for the next tmobile android phone
<zoopster> nothing from me
* itnet7 tried to wait
<maxolasersquad> TMobile has no service here
<itnet7> Ok well if no one has nothing now we can consider it ended....
<itnet7> I would like to make one suggestion
<maxolasersquad> Waiting on another carrier.
<Epidemic> zoopster: so, linux-backport-modules-mykernelversion?
<zoopster> maxolasersquad: I hate to say it...but no one wants tlh...it was tossed around like a hot potato for the longest time
