03:42:56 <meetingology> TOPIC: BCC
03:43:19 <CurtisElgin> ok going to do a quick follow up on Code Camp first
03:44:12 <Paul_Wilch> How was it?
03:44:29 <Paul_Wilch> A lot of Q's about Ubuntu?
03:45:40 <CurtisElgin> We handed out around 400 flyers 175 Discs and 55 lanyards. So a popular hit. And a thanks to Clint for getting steered in the right direction.
03:45:51 <Paul_Wilch> NICE!
03:46:04 <Paul_Wilch> Thanks for the assistance Clint!
03:46:25 <ClintBseID> You guys did all the heavy lifting, great job!
03:46:41 <CurtisElgin> Popular comment was Ubuntu has a LoCo team?
03:46:50 <Paul_Wilch> LOL!
03:47:13 <CurtisElgin> well that and can i have this
03:47:25 <ClintBseID>
03:48:25 <Paul_Wilch> Next year I'll be there and maybe we can plan for a topic...
03:48:42 <Paul_Wilch> Were there many topics on Open Source or Ubuntu?
03:49:00 <CurtisElgin> I think Clint hit it on the head with a linux trac perhaps next year
03:49:12 <Paul_Wilch> For sure!
03:49:39 <ClintBseID> Drupal and CakePHP.
03:50:19 <ClintBseID> And Ubuntu hold court in the hallway!
03:50:35 <Paul_Wilch> NIce!
03:50:43 <CurtisElgin> Ubuntu usage on machines yes talks specific to ubuntu not really. open source yes there was some
03:50:47 <Paul_Wilch> Did you give the presentation on CakePHP, Clint?
03:51:16 <ClintBseID> Yes and it was demonstrated on both 10.04 and 10.10.
03:51:25 <Paul_Wilch> LOL! Nice!
03:51:51 <Paul_Wilch> Were there many people using Ubuntu that you saw?
03:51:57 <Paul_Wilch> Just in the crowd
03:53:08 <ClintBseID> We had a full house for late in the afternoon.
03:53:29 <CurtisElgin> Didn't see to many machines other than the presenters.
03:54:06 <CurtisElgin> So lets gets some ideas flowing shoot them into the mailing list for next years code camp.
03:54:35 <CurtisElgin> not now, just as a note

03:56:30 <CurtisElgin> Description
03:56:30 <CurtisElgin> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdahoTeam/Meetings
03:56:31 <CurtisElgin> 12302 W Explorer Dr, Boise, ID
03:56:48 <CurtisElgin> that is also on the calendar on the site
03:58:10 <Paul_Wilch> I'll do a 15 min demo on OpenShot video editor
03:58:32 <CurtisElgin> current topics Openshot, Ubuntu One, Network/Wifi Management
03:59:10 <CurtisElgin> does anyone want to add a topic to the list or are we ok with this current listing
03:59:15 <Paul_Wilch> I can do more on OpenShot if needed. Just wanted to make sure everyone had time
04:01:34 <rihanha> we can scale the wifi/network up or down, just want to introduce the basics to start. we can delve deeper if anyone in attendance wants to
04:01:47 <Paul_Wilch> I think that 3 topics would be great. Could be 20 min each, 10 min break, 20 min Q and A
04:02:13 <rihanha> sounds good.
04:02:54 <CurtisElgin> alright will stick with the three and adjust the times around.
04:03:57 <Paul_Wilch> Where should we put documentation? Can it be a presentation or does it have to be Wiki?
04:03:58 <rihanha> we sent out that announcement earlier this week - are we ok to send it tomorrow? or some slightly edited version. i know we talked a little about where to meet for the global jam and for the release party
04:04:09 <rihanha> i haven't gone back over to read the replies today as intended...
04:04:48 <rihanha> we were talking pizza or something similar - was that for the jam or the party?
04:04:54 <rihanha> or something else?
04:05:17 <CurtisElgin> id ay upload it to the teams google docs then we can embed.
04:05:27 <rihanha> either
04:05:30 <Paul_Wilch> I agree with Clint 100000% on Idaho Pizza Company
04:05:35 <rihanha> for documentation - embed or wiki will be fine
04:05:41 <ClintBseID> We going to do the jam at Idaho Pizza Company?
04:05:59 <rihanha> the limiting reagent on both is wifi
04:06:04 <Paul_Wilch> Oh I thought pizza was for release party
04:06:23 <rihanha> and for release there is equipment lugging potential
04:06:29 <Paul_Wilch> then have an actual release party in May at University of Phoenix
04:06:44 <rihanha> we could split them out?
04:07:24 <ClintBseID> Are you going to let people bring their computers to the release party to have an install fest at the same time?
04:07:45 <rihanha> yeah i think that's the question -
04:08:22 <CurtisElgin> #topic Global Jam / Release Party
04:08:22 <meetingology> TOPIC: Global Jam / Release Party
04:08:26 <Paul_Wilch> Well for the pizza I was thinking no laptops just get to know each other, then two weeks later at the university have the official release party and install
04:08:31 <rihanha> we did a small release party at pauls a few years back, and folks did lug out their pcs/laptops
04:08:39 <Paul_Wilch> what do you guys think?
04:09:09 <rihanha> maybe we could pull off a release party in a room again
04:09:18 <rihanha> the one at UoP was just about right
04:09:39 <rihanha> lots of plugs/ wifi is free
04:10:07 <rihanha> we could combine the april meet and release party
04:10:16 <ClintBseID> Wired net is very important in order to get wireless working...
04:10:41 <rihanha> does UoP offer that? i'm guessing its locked down for outsiders
04:11:03 <rihanha> we can set up a pxe install server
04:11:05 <Paul_Wilch> yeah i can double check on the wired
04:12:10 <rihanha> yeah, curt just confirmed we'll have a pxe server/debian proxy so all packages are local/available
04:12:19 <Paul_Wilch> Elgins rock! Great idea!
04:12:21 <rihanha> that will conquer some of the issues.
04:12:26 <ClintBseID> We all know that the public release date is April 28th and from my own experience, Natty is no where near stable. As far as it being locked down from outsiders, we can always create a wired connection out of a wireless.
04:13:14 <rihanha> we can work out the details over the next few weeks. thankfully we have a little time yet.
04:13:31 <Paul_Wilch> Yeah I'm worried about Natty as well. It is still an Alpha though....
04:14:23 <rihanha> for global jam, curt is contacting steve (vorian) to see if he wants to head up the bug jam part
04:14:36 <rihanha> we can do testing/documentation
04:14:58 <rihanha> we'll need a space (and again wifi) to meet, april 2nd
04:15:08 <Paul_Wilch> Yeah I think Steve would be awesome for that. I haven't met him but just reading what he has done, he would be a lot of help.
04:15:09 <rihanha> we had slotted 4 hours early to mid day w/ lunch to follow
04:15:19 <ClintBseID> I have fears of a repeat of 9.04 and that it wasn't "stable" for the better part of a month after its release. Its going to be interesting from my perspective on when I might hear back on the bug report I filed concerning the major defect in Grub2.
04:15:19 <rihanha> obviously folks are welcome to come for part/all
04:16:49 <rihanha> i have never actually documented a bug, i was hoping we could talk vorian into sharing since he's our resident expert. how often have you dealt with bug reporting Clint?
04:18:17 <Paul_Wilch> Have you heard back from Steve (Vorian) after you emailed him?
04:18:29 <rihanha> btw Curt and I switched roles, I"m typing he's handling the cranky kiddo
04:18:36 <rihanha> not yet
04:18:37 <ClintBseID> I was part of an ISV development team so I have used bugzilla and the ubuntu system was a little more rudimentary in form, but realatively easy to use. Just be sure to save off syslog and partman before making any changes after the bug is discovered so that conditions are still present.
04:19:40 <rihanha> cool. if we don't get vorian to give a talk on it can we get you to talk a bit on it for the team? i believe darin has done some as well, but he's out of town a lot lately.
04:20:05 <ClintBseID> oay
04:20:07 <ClintBseID> okay
04:20:10 <rihanha> sweet. thanks.
04:20:18 <Paul_Wilch> Maybe Chris could pop in real quick?
04:20:39 <rihanha> we'll keep that in the hopper for a topic soon, don't worry we wont spring it on you w/ out plenty of notice!
04:20:59 <rihanha> into IRC? He may just be hovering???
04:21:33 <rihanha> yeah, i think he's just lurking at the moment - could try a private msg
04:23:21 <rihanha> sorry, pebcak
04:24:00 <rihanha> so i'll send something very similar to what we sent out to the mailing list tomorrw.
04:25:02 <rihanha> to recap - we'll announce the march mtg & topics, the april 2 global jam, the april release party and a nod to the processing/data visualization group forming
04:26:27 <rihanha> is that a wrap?
04:26:33 <rihanha> we okay for now?
04:26:34 <Paul_Wilch> yep, i think so
04:26:39 <Paul_Wilch> Clint?
04:26:42 <Paul_Wilch> All good?
04:26:52 <ClintBseID> all good
04:27:21 <rihanha> oh, by the way, if you (or any fellows) want to give a talk at a future meet, please don't hesitate to speak up. i'm sure folks will get bored with just us. >.<
04:27:21 <Paul_Wilch> See you all on the 17th!
04:27:33 <rihanha> the 17th. wow, this month is flying
04:27:38 <rihanha> thanks all!
