Show respect for my continent and our continent to the south. :) [02:53] lol [02:53] It sounds so patriotic "America's Council." [02:54] We just need a continental anthem now to start our meetings. [02:54] That might be hard to do over IRC cody-somerville [02:55] If we all sing loud enough, we might be able to hear each other. [02:55] Isn't that why we have DCC? [02:55] Massive amounts of all cap words? [02:55] persia: That won't support live streaming. Maybe we should go to icecast [02:56] Oh, Canadaaa... the land of the free, and the home of the brave...

[03:06] pretty good, i was in CA for a few days [03:06] you watch that rose bowl game :) [03:06] nah [03:06] probably for the best, hehe [03:07] i got sick starting the day after though, i was wiped out for 3 full days and then some [03:07] for those intersted, this would be tonights agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [03:08] Rocket2DMn: yikes, that's lousy [03:08] yeah really, im still working on getting back to 100% [03:08] ouch [03:09] alrighty! [03:09] hurrah, eightyeight! [03:09] Hey 88 [03:09] PrivateVoid: you are up! [03:09] pleia2, this is the eightyeight you were telling me about, heh? [03:09] sorry i'm late. 2nd day on the job [03:09] My name is PrivateVoid (aka Charles) this is my wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrivateVoid and this is my lp page: https://launchpad.net/~privatevoid. I work as a System Adminsitrator is a K-12 school disrict. I contribute some time and effort to supporting FOSS at the following sites - http://community.k12opensource.com/ and http://www.classroom20.com/ in addition to other various social networking sites. My hobbies are phot [03:09] ography, programming, and computer security and forensices. I have been using Linux for two years at home and have been around the edges since SUSE was released (1993 I think if memory serves). I am looking forward to contributing more to Ubuntu and FOSS. I feel like Bachelor #3 tonight. Questions? [03:11] New York LoCo eh? [03:11] Yes, the NY LoCO [03:11] it draws breath again [03:11] :-) [03:11] how's the team doing? [03:11] whoohoo go NY LoCo [03:11] Love the work your doing in the education side of the Beginners Team PV [03:12] The team is growing slowly... vorian... we have some activity in New City, Syracuse, Potsdam (new person) and Rochester [03:12] thanks Vantrax [03:12] hi MikeB [03:12] Hi [03:12] To be honest I hope we accomplish much more with BT EDU [03:12] PrivateVoid: i can see that would be challenging, large land area to cover [03:13] PrivateVoid, There are a number of ways to contribute to Ubuntu. What would you say is the primary way you make a difference in the Ubuntu project? [03:13] It is... and with four major cities (I call them major) it tends to clump people [03:13] Ircing on my iPhone wish me luck [03:13] MikeB: (i hope with iSSH) [03:13] cody-somerville, Evangelizing and spreading the word [03:13] Nope [03:14] I am not up to speed with programming yet, so my efforts have been focused on working with new members and growing the NY LoCo [03:14] MikeB: we managed to snag eightyeight to get quorum, so if it's too much trouble we're cool [03:15] I can attest to the work PrivateVoid has done on the forums and BT. He does a wonderful job. [03:15] I also want to eventually get involved in bug triage, but the BT and NY LoCo have taken the front seat [03:15] and I see that trend continuing for a while at least [03:15] three kids only allow so much time for such things [03:15] and I've worked with PrivateVoid on getting the NY Team up and going again, very motivated, AND we've worked together on getting the beginners team classroom sessions off the ground [03:15] great work :) [03:15] I think you do great work in all areas, PrivateVoid :) [03:15] any one here to cheer for PrivateVoid? [03:15] pleia2, we have three scheduled [03:15] o/ [03:15] GO PV! [03:16] What he said :) [03:16] I am [03:16] * TheDukeNY cheers [03:16] PrivateVoid has done a great job with the BT Education FG, and it really shows. Great job PrivateVoid [03:16] PrivateVoid, Contributions of that nature can sometimes be hard to measure. What do you feel are the best indicators of a sustained and significant contributions via evangelizing? [03:17] cody-somerville, to be honest the fact that the NY team is holding events again and getting people who were kind of depressed re-motivated [03:17] As a member of NY LoCo I may also say he is a very motivated person, excellent, hard working, strongly driven, motivated, well educated, etc. [03:17] cody-somerville: His work with the BT Education group can be seen here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Education/Events. He has several events lined up already. [03:17] In addition to that we have seen a huge amount of growth with the BT though much of that success goes to the team as a whole and I just played a role in that as a team member [03:18] you can also see the NY Team newsletter [03:18] Do you have a link for the NY Team newsletters? [03:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Newsletter/Issue1 [03:18] its our first issue... and has a way to go before it will be what we need... but it is a start [03:19] If I am lucky I may even be able to get a 'test' lab put in with Linux in the school district I work in... [03:19] which could help a great deal IMHO [03:19] PrivateVoid, Do you feel the NY Team is integrated well with greater Ubuntu Community? Also, do you feed your content in your newsletter upstream to the UWN Folks for inclusion in the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter when appropriate? [03:19] that experience could then be used as a template for others to follow [03:19] well said [03:20] cody-somerville, I have contributed some of the content to UWN (though not with that first newsletter)... I think the NY LoCo has some growth to do to be a true part of the greater community... but we need to grow locally a bit more before that will be 'felt' [03:20] * Vantrax would like to acknowladge the work PrivateVoid does to get new users integreating into the community [03:21] We are trying to get all the four regions we have activity in to participate in the Global bug jam... but that would just be a start [03:21] The Newsletter is also not my work alone [03:21] daradib, a new NY LoCo member has put it together [03:21] PrivateVoid, Keeping us all connected is important and I'm excited to hear that you feel the same way. I'd encourage you to work with the UWN on your newsletter so that everyone can benefits and read the great content you produce. [03:22] and I would only take credit for asking people to take that bull by the horn and contributing a few things to it [03:22] delegation will be the key in growing a LoCo IMHO [03:22] absolutely [03:22] indeed [03:22] * deejoe nods [03:22] +1 for great work in the community and his loco team [03:22] * TheDukeNY nods [03:22] +1 [03:23] excellent work PrivateVoid :) [03:23] +1 [03:23] +1 from me as well, wonder job all the way around [03:23] I work with Tyche alot so I intend to assist with the UWN [03:23] thanks, pleia2 [03:23] and vorian [03:23] +1 on ny loco work [03:23] congrats PrivateVoid, and welcome aboard [03:24] * PrivateVoid smiles [03:24] thanks everyone [03:24] PrivateVoid, Congratulations PrivateVoid and welcome aboard. It was pleasure meeting you this evening. [03:24] Congrats PrivateVoid. You deserve it [03:24] congratulations PrivateVoid ! [03:24] Congrats dude [03:24] Nicely done PrivateVoid [03:24] im glad i made it in time ;) [03:24] is there some next step I must take? [03:24] LP or other? [03:24] * Vantrax cheers PV [03:24] vor, you're up! [03:24] Ok [03:24] PrivateVoid, you'll be notified by e-mail when you've been added to the ubuntumembers team within the next 24 hours. [03:24] Hola. My name is Shaun Dennie. I'm a long time Unix hacker and have been an Ubuntu user since 5.10. My wiki page can be found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ShaunDennie and my forums page can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=217315 [03:24] I'm a moderator for the Ubuntu forums and an active member of the forums Beginner Team in IRC. Since early 2008, I generally spend several hours a day helping people on the Ubuntu forums. [03:24] I'm also a member of the Argentina LoCo. My official duties for the Argentina LoCo include helping people on the forums, helping people at open source gatherings and arguing about fútbol. [03:24] I've really enjoyed being part of the community and would like to take the next step to get even more involved. [03:25] Hi! My name is Miguel Sajnovsky, I'm an ubuntu member since last november and I'm here to support Vor. What I would like to mention about him is how much he loves to help newcomers, always giving support and showing in a very humble way how much does he know about ubuntu. I understand that he trully feels the spirit of being an ubuntu member. https://launchpad.net/~miguel.sajnovsky [03:26] vor: nice testimonials on your wiki [03:26] Thank you [03:26] Vor is never afraid to help new users. Most users are only confident enough to help out when they have other people around to back them up. On countless occassions, I have seen vor helping people on IRC alone. He just kept working with them until the problem was solved. [03:27] vor: great work on the forums, do you see yourself expanding your work from there into other portions of ubuntu? or have other general future goals? [03:28] vor, It seems you help out a lot by helping answer questions. Its great to see you've created a number of tutorials on popular topics. :) What is one question you get asked more than any other? [03:28] pleia2: For a while now I've been thinking about become a developer actually. I haven't decided what specific direction I want to go with it (probably kernel or something low level) so I've been putting it off until I've decided. I imagine sometime this year I'll start writing code again. [03:28] cody-somerville: "I just installed 4G of RAM and Ubuntu only sees 3G. What's wrong?" [03:29] Wow. Thats unexpected. [03:29] cody-somerville: Almost all my tutorials are question driven. If I answer a question enough, I write a formal tutorial to point people at. [03:29] vor, Do you have any plans on moving them to the community help wiki? [03:31] cody-somerville: It's not something I'd thought of yet. One of the reasons I enjoy writing tutorials on the forums is the interactive nature of it. People may have questions or problems with the tutorial and it's easy to help them on the forums. [03:31] * cody-somerville nods. [03:31] Although I could just growl at vor, I do have to admit that he is a wonderful Staffer on Ubuntu Forums - and does great work with the Beginners Team. [03:31] Having said that, I wouldn't mind making them wikis. I've been talking to some of the Argentina LoCo members and they are interested in helping me translate a few of them to Spanish as well. === ianmcorvidae|alt is now known as ianmcorvidae [03:32] vor, Do you have any experience with Launchpad Answers? If so, what do you feel could be done to help improve the experience? [03:32] cody-somerville: I've only encountered it briefly with google searches so, I'm not familiar enough with it to know what could be improved. [03:35] I'm happy to give you a +1! keep up the great work [03:35] * PrivateVoid support Vor [03:35] +1 from me too, amazing forums work and it's very exciting to hear you may want to become a dev :) [03:36] * Rocket2DMn is here for vor! [03:36] * Hellow also supports vor [03:36] Vor is a great mod on the forums. I give him a strong +1 [03:36] * nhandler gives Vor his support [03:36] +1 on good forums activity [03:36] +1 for contributions on the forums. Keep on doing a great job writing tutorials. I know from experience that they make life for folks so much easier :) [03:36] * Vantrax is here for Vor [03:36] sorry folks, I hate to interrupt, but I have a call coming up, and I just wanted to pledge my support for davidm's application [03:37] just in case I am on the call [03:37] jono: no problem, thanks! [03:37] Thank jono [03:37] he is an excellent contributor, I noted my support on his application [03:37] thanks folks! [03:37] nn jono [03:38] vor, Congratulations and welcome aboard! [03:38] Thanks! [03:38] woohoo! congrats vor ! [03:38] Congrats Vor!!! (This San Lorenzo will be winning the next championship?) [03:38] Congrats vor [03:38] Congrats vor [03:38] Thanks everyone for your support too === robbmunson is now known as robb_away [03:38] *This means ?? [03:38] Sajnox: Let's hope. ;) [03:38] Rocket2DMn: you're up! [03:39] alrighty [03:39] vor, You'll be notified by e-mail when you've been added to the ubuntumembers launchpad team within the next 24-48 hours or so. If you have a blog, be sure to add it to the planet :) [03:39] Hello, my name is Connor Imes aka Rocket2DMn. My wiki page can be found here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Rocket2DMn and launchpad here - https://launchpad.net/~rocket2dmn [03:39] I'm a software engineer by trade, was born/raised/educated in CA but now live and work in PA. I've been using Ubuntu since Feisty and have been actively contributing since day 1. Notable areas of contribution are the forums (especially the Beginners Team and as Staff), wiki documentation, and launchpad bug triaging. I really enjoy spreading my time between the different areas, and each is so different that I get to learn a lot in t [03:39] he process as well. [03:39] Through my Ubuntu adventures, I've also been blessed to work directly with a number of the people on the this council (vorian, MikeB, and pleia2) and some of today's membership candidates (PrivateVoid, vor, hikaricore, and Hellow)! [03:39] also, beer :d [03:39] beer++ [03:39] it played a major role along the way, pleia2 ! [03:40] :) [03:40] * Vantrax has had help from Rocket2DMn on Launchpad several times. Yay Rocket2DMn [03:40] I have spent a lot of time with Rocket2DMn. Although he spends time in many areas, his contributions are significant and significant in all of them. He has triaged all sorts of bugs on Launchpad, worked hard to clean up the wiki over the summer (and keeps the BT wiki pages up-to-date), and is very active on the forums and on IRC. He has my complete support [03:41] * Hellow supports Rocket2DMn 100% [03:41] I agree nhandler he was very active in the 'summer of documentation' project [03:41] Rocket2DMn, any plans to get involved in development efforts? [03:42] cody-somerville, perhaps sometime down the road, it's stepping into a whole other domain that i already spend time on at work (sometimes), and there could be legal issues that arise because of work that i dont want to think about yet [03:43] Rocket2DMn, The FocusGroup wiki pages look pretty snazzy [03:43] * nhandler notes that PrivateVoid created the nice headers [03:44] I actually borrowed the core of it from the Mass / AZ teams and modified them with Rocket2DMn's approval and we did them together [03:44] i had help from PrivateVoid and other team members to build up our Beginners Team wiki as well, most of the actual Focus Group pages are mad by the group leaders. i run the Wiki FG - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki [03:44] Rocket2DMn: your future plans page is slightly abandoned (becoming a member is on there for "someday"), want to take a look and see if there is anything you'd like to add? [03:44] PrivateVoid, made those sexy headers [03:44] s/page/section [03:45] smexy [03:45] pleia2, as of right now, i want to maintain my level of contribution, since i moved across the country and started work ive been happy to simply maintain. I'm always trying to learn more about the different domain to which i contribute though. [03:45] I'd like to get better and troubleshooting and triaging certain areas, like kernel, wireless, and video [03:45] Rocket2DMn: any interest in getting involved with the US-PA loco team? :) [03:46] pleia2, I'm trying my best to attend the nearest meetings, and hopefully any events that pop up [03:46] i wish i had been there for the Intrepid party, but i was in CA [03:46] great [03:46] yeah :) [03:46] including the cross-border NY-PA meet up; right? [03:47] hehe [03:47] heck yeah PrivateVoid , just tell us what bar [03:47] i'm happy to +1 Rocket2DMn, great stuff!

[03:49] Rocket2DMn, Be sure to add your blog, if you have one, to the planet once you've been added to the ubuntumembers launchpad group. [03:49] =D [03:49] Congrats Rocket2DMn [03:49] cody-somerville, you want the blogs to be FOSS or Ubuntu related correct? [03:49] I have five... but only two are tech related [03:49] it seems hikaricore is not here... [03:49] erichammond: your up! [03:50] Hi, My name is Eric Hammond. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EricHammond and https://launchpad.net/~esh [03:50] My primary contributions to Ubuntu so far are the building, maintaining, documenting, promoting, and supporting of public virtual machine images for running Ubuntu on Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) which I have been doing since late 2007. [03:50] I have been fostering an Ubuntu on EC2 community which is around 700 registered members and growing (number of readers beyond that is not clear). [03:50] I have also been working with Canonical the last few months in an advisory and testing capacity as the new official Ubuntu images are being built and released for EC2. [03:52] btw, back now [03:52] erichammond: i'm a little confused at your first testimonial [03:53] is it missing or is the link bad? [03:53] Mark Shuttleworth generously offered the following testimonial for sharing with the membership board: [03:53] "Eric has made a sustained and substantial contribution to the Ubuntu community through his work on EC2. His Ubuntu images for Amazon EC2, and his leadership of the community that is growing up around Ubuntu on EC2, easily warrant membership in my opinion. I very much appreciate the time that he has put into this initiative, and think it will be very important work in growing the community of people who work wi [03:53] (it was cut off at "community of people who work w") [03:53] :) [03:54] ...community of people who work with Ubuntu on the server in 2009." [03:54] thanks! [03:54] erichammond, Were you at UDS Jaunty? [03:54] cody-somerville: Yes, I flew myself up for one day. [03:55] erichammond, What sort of EC2 initiatives are you involved with for Jaunty? [03:55] It was great to meet the Ubuntu server team folks I'd been working with online. [03:56] Two directions: I build images myself for EC2 and Jaunty is included in them [03:56] You can see the complete list here: http://alestic.com [03:56] erichammond: where is mark's testimonial documented? [03:56] I also support the server team in the development of vmbuilder and the official Ubuntu images for EC2. At the moment that effort is focused on Intrepid, but it should work transparently for Jaunty as well. [03:57] erichammond, do you have anyone here from the Server team to root for you? [03:57] eightyeight: He sent it to me in email. [03:57] :) [03:57] erichammond, would you be able to forward the e-mail to our mailing list? [03:58] cody-somerville: Based on the phrasing I assumed the rest of the email was private and I would not feel comfortable doing so without his permission. [03:58] erichammond, No problem. [03:59] I can check with him, but I'm guessing now is not a good time. [04:00] I'm happy to +1 [04:00] erichammond, don't worry about it [04:00] EC2 is really cool stuff, and I'm happy to see what progress is being made there [04:00] +1 here [04:00] +1 from me as well. I'm excited to see more EC2 yummyness in the future. [04:00] +1 from me, great work on EC2 :) [04:02] +1 [04:02] erichammond: congrats! and welcome aboard! [04:02] Thank you all! [04:02] Congratulations [04:03] erichammond: no, thank you for your contributions :) [04:03] erichammond, Please be sure to add your blog, if you have one, to the planet once you've been added to the ubuntumembers launchpad group!! :) [04:03] Congrats erichammond ! [04:03] andresmujica: you're up :) [04:03] :) [04:03] Hi, first of all, i want to apologize for not attending last meeting, to be honest i was confused about the date and didn't make it in time. It was too late when i got connected. Sorry about that. [04:04] My name is Andres Mujica, my wiki page is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndresMujica my launchpad page is https://edge.launchpad.net/~andres-mujica and my LinkedIn profile is at http://www.linkedin.com/in/andresmauriciomujica. I'm an Ubuntu user since Warty, full time Linux user since RH 7.1 and Linux "concious" since slackware -no idea which one- around '95. [04:04] no problem [04:04] I've earned the RHCE and DCAP certifications, and hopefully would pursue the Ubuntu ones this year. [04:04] My main contribution to Ubuntu is at Bug triaging as member of the bugsquad (i.e. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/290506 ) and im in queue for bugcontrol membership (there are some aplications unreviewed, mine between those). Also i've made some small contribs to the wiki aMy main contribution to Ubuntu is at Bug triaging as member of the bugsquad (i.e. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/290506 ) and im [04:04] Launchpad bug 290506 in ubuntu-release-notes "cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [04:04] upps [04:05] haha [04:05] that mouse!!!! [04:05] i was wondering how did i've managed to get that long!!! [04:06] Made some Ubuntu migrations at seat level for customers at the company i work at. [04:08] andresmujica: just being thorough here, but i noticed you are a bug squad member since 2006, but i only see bug karma since 2008? [04:09] yes, i've made some work at the beginning but was consumed by work. [04:09] Since last year i've managed to get at least weekends and some hours at night to work on it.. [04:10] andresmujica: what do you plan on doing with ubuntu in the future? where do you see yourself making the greatest amount of contributions? [04:11] well, i like a lot triaging beacuse i believe it's the best way to help the Ubuntu community, making things work. [04:11] so my efforts would be in that direction.

[04:16] forums and bug reports are an awesome combo [04:16] andresmujica, Do you have anyone here to cheer for you? [04:16] I'd like to speak in support of andresmujica 's triaging activity: he not only hits lots of bugs, but tends to ask insightful questions that lead to resolution.

[04:21] congrats :D [04:21] grats [04:21] :-D [04:21] davidm: you're up :) [04:21] Hi I'm David Mandala (davidm) this is my wikki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DavidMandala, and my lp page https://launchpad.net/~davidm [04:21] I'm a generalist, computer and electronics geek, I do some coding, some evangelizing, I explain Ubuntu Mobile Linux and why getting your device running with it is a good thing ;-) and a bunch of other stuff, it's listed on my wiki page. I like to get "stuff" done. ;-) [04:21] I tend to do things to and with: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam [04:23] davidm, Why did you choose to get involved with Ubuntu? [04:23] I have been involved with Linux for a long time, I've tried most distros one time or another. [04:24] I liked RedHat for a while until they choose to drop their community and I eventually landed with Debian [04:24] davidm: _nice_ testimonials [04:24] But Debian was too slow, [04:25] you either had to use stable (years old) or testing (not bad but iffy) or unstable (very unstable) [04:25] Then Ubuntu came on the seen and I tried it, it was everything good I liked about Debian but far far less pain [04:25] Stuff that I could convert my wife too :-) [04:26] eightyeight, thanks [04:26] It let me show people the goodness of Linux with out the pain of most of the distros [04:26] So I jumped in with both feet, then wanted to do more [04:26] davidm: is most of work work with the mobile team, or are you focused elsewhere? [04:27] I'm mostly focused on mobile as I've spent a great deal of time in the embedded space and I see the mobile space as a brand new playing field, [04:28] I assist other teams as I can but focus mostly on Ubuntu mobile. === ubottu changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 07 Jan 16:00: Foundation Team | 07 Jan 17:00: QA Team | 07 Jan 18:00: Edubuntu meeting | 08 Jan 12:00: Ubuntu Mobile Team | 08 Jan 13:00: Desktop Team | 08 Jan 14:00: Ubuntu Java [04:28] davidm: where do you want to see ubuntu mobile in the future? [04:28] I'm a lucky man, I get to work on my hobby and help make changes that will be felt by lots of folks [04:29] davidm, Where do you see Ubuntu Mobile in 2 years? [04:29] cody-somerville: copycat. :) [04:29] I want to see it running on ARM, Atom, and smaller devices, not necessarily phones but new classes of mobile devices that are coming. [04:30] are we going to see uPhones? [04:30] +1 Rocket2DMn, if so i want one ;) [04:30] lol [04:30] I see it on all ARM netbooks, many Atom netbooks and other places yet to be defined [04:30] Long term we will see some interesting things in the phone space I suspect with Ubuntu [04:31] but not today, it's too soon [04:31] davidm: +1 from me on the mobile team. i'm excited to see its future [04:31] The market is growing at a pace that is insane and it's going to be exciting to be part of it. [04:31] eightyeight, thanks [04:32] Anyone here to cheer for davidm? [04:32] +1 [04:32] * jono waves [04:32] we did have jono [04:32] :) [04:32] jono, was/is :-) [04:32] davidm is a great Ubuntu contributor [04:32] Some of the others are in the EU so this meeting was too late for them.
