Unfettered hardware (no proprietary drivers needed!), 8 GB RAM, 750 GB SATA HD, dual-core Pentium Tsomething or another (64-bit but no VT-x). <dtchen> takers? E-mail me off-list. <maco> dtchen: donate to what? <maco> occupydc? <dtchen> I'm doing my usual "shed extra hardware" run. <dtchen> (don't like to keep more than one computer at a time) <maco> my computers break enough i find spares handy <maco> :P <dtchen> you want? <dtchen> I can leave it with Merge @ ToI. <maco> *ponder* <maco> i dont have a laptop that can both be used as a laptop and do compiles in decent times <dtchen> I recently bought a new laptop to fix drivers, and it came with that 750 GB HD. I just swapped in my five-year-old 320 GB. <maco> my dual core doesnt know how to use batteries anymore, and my netbook doesnt suspend and cant compile, and so my 5 year old laptop is the only one that can kind of do all of the above... <dtchen> you could just blow away the Windows 7 Home Premium install that's on it :-) <maco> why the crap is a computer you own running windows? <dtchen> it isn't! <dtchen> the HD has a Windows 7 install on it (I bought the laptop from Best Buy) <dtchen> it gives me the giggles that I've been doing the Ubuntu Friendly thing for over a decade :-) #ubuntu-us-dc 2011-10-21 <bcurtiswx> whats the special get together for tomorrow? <maco> i think merge is trying to fix that weve been MIA for a while <maco> thanks for the reminder <maco> also maybe crimsun is deploying again? <maco> he said he'd be leaving again in the fall #ubuntu-us-dc 2011-10-23 <ChinnoDog> howdy <ChinnoDog> crickets #ubuntu-us-dc 2011-10-29 <ChinnoDog> No one talks in here any more. <maco> jbicha moved away, i mostly stepped out of ubuntu, lfaraone went off to college... <ChinnoDog> maco: you stepped out of Ubuntu? What team are you playing for now? <maco> i use kubuntu, but i dont do much development anymore <maco> a couple accessibility bugs a cycle is about all <ChinnoDog> I never did any development :-p <maco> im a dev at a software company now. when i come home, i dont want to work on ubuntu <maco> ive been knitting instead <ChinnoDog> knitting is much less error phone <ChinnoDog> prone <ChinnoDog> maco: guess I am all alone then :-( #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-07 <ubuntourist> Sssshowtime! <jelkner> good morning ubuntourist! <ubuntourist> Time for our weekly adventure in LoCo revival. * ubuntourist is here * jelkner is here <jelkner> ubuntourist, any news since last week? * ubuntourist scans the vast horizon for other souls. <ubuntourist> Just sent out a query from LoCo member Rik regarding a release party. <jelkner> where? when? <ubuntourist> That was Rik's query. ;-) <ubuntourist> His message also inferred a "What?" as well. <jelkner> OK, ubuntourist, email sent <jelkner> to the mailing list <jelkner> Next Sunday, let's evaluate the level of response and see what makes sense going forward after that. <jelkner> Make sense? <ubuntourist> Yeah. We might also go with doodle (or some other means) to see if another time is preferred by people. <jelkner> That's a great idea. <jelkner> Since this is about the only time I am regularly available, however, meeting at other times may need to go on without me. <ubuntourist> OK, then. Next week. Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel. Maybe a nudge in e-mail during the middle of the week, <jelkner> sounds good <ubuntourist> With that, shebang. The gavel drops. * ubuntourist adjourns the meeting. #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-12 <ChinnoDog> hi peeps <bcurtiswx> hi <ChinnoDog> Next Ubuntu release around the corner. <bcurtiswx> correct <ChinnoDog> par-t? <bcurtiswx> We probably will, do you want to bring it up at the next meeting? * ChinnoDog adds meeting to calendar <bcurtiswx> meeting help <meeting> bcurtiswx: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. <bcurtiswx> meeting help start <meeting> bcurtiswx: Error: There is no command "start". <bcurtiswx> meeting help startmeeting <meeting> bcurtiswx: Error: There is no command "startmeeting". <bcurtiswx> meeting list <meeting> bcurtiswx: Admin, Alias, AutoMode, BadWords, Channel, ChannelStats, Config, Ctcp, Dict, Dunno, Factoids, Herald, Karma, Later, Lingvo, MeetBot, Misc, MyLogger, Network, News, Nickometer, Note, Owner, Plugin, Praise, Protector, Quote, QuoteGrabs, RSS, Reply, Scheduler, Seen, Services, ShrinkUrl, Status, Success, Time, Topic, URL, User, Utilities, and Web <bcurtiswx> meeting help MeetBot <meeting> bcurtiswx: Error: There is no command "meetbot". <ChinnoDog> meeting list MeetBot <meeting> ChinnoDog: addchair, deletemeeting, listmeetings, pingall, recent, and savemeetings <ChinnoDog> meeting listmeetings <meeting> ChinnoDog: Error: You don't have the admin capability.

Giving her the dual monitor setup :) see ya'll tomorrow <kjcole> See ya. * kjcole changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-dc to: Next LoCo IRC meeting: 7:00 PM, Tuesday, 2012-10-16. Be there! (Previous meeting log at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/10/15/%23ubuntu-us-dc.html) #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-16 <kjcole> "Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" <bcurtiswx> truer words can not be spoke <bcurtiswx> n <bcurtiswx> Im not even going to bother stating a log if nobody shows up <bcurtiswx> sdtarting* <bcurtiswx> of ffs <bcurtiswx> starting***** <kjcole> Well... Should we allow late arrivals (as yesterday we caught a third)? <bcurtiswx> im up for it <kjcole> And isn't there a #ping or some such once you start the meeting that reaches out to all who are theoretically on the channel? <bcurtiswx> idk how 3 would be a huge deal, but it seems we should be throwing a welcoming party for anyone else who shows up <kjcole> Heh. <bcurtiswx> ChinnoDog, JonathanD marcoceppi paulproteus kjcole bcurtiswx MEETING TIME!!! <paulproteus> Well, that's exciting. <bcurtiswx> a third * bcurtiswx worships paulproteus 's arrival <paulproteus> Don't get too excited. I'm actually not in DC at the moment (and only am periodically) <bcurtiswx> well you can at least give us a good head count for IRC meetings ;) <paulproteus> Perfect (-: <kjcole> paulproteus Yeah, I've often wondered what brought you to this channel. ;-) <paulproteus> Yeah.. I don't remember actually... <kjcole> Must be my charming personality. <bcurtiswx> I was gonna say the beard or red fedora.. <paulproteus> Maybe I wanted to talk to you here for some reason here! <paulproteus> +/- extra "here" <kjcole> ;-) <bcurtiswx> Well, We'll postpone again until tomorrow. kjcole mind sending out an e-mail? <kjcole> So... Not looking promising... <bcurtiswx> we'll get a goos chunk of people on one day I hope <bcurtiswx> good* <bcurtiswx> If we go a week with no major progress, we'll have to go the "advertising" route <kjcole> OK. But, since my ISP is often unreliable from home, I've been staying at work to make sure I can attend. I may go home tomorrow, and if luck holds, I'll be on. If not, well... <bcurtiswx> kjcole, im not worried about your attendance. I can guarantee you'll be here once the serious stuff comes along :) <kjcole> OK then. <bcurtiswx> kjcole, can't you just hack into someone elses wireless nearby? <bcurtiswx> O:-) <kjcole> Sometimes, actually. But the signal strength from nearby apartments isn't all that much. <bcurtiswx> pay your building to install wireless boosters? * kjcole changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-dc to: Next attempt at a LoCo meeting: 7:00 PM, Wednesday, 2012-10-17. Be there? (Previous meeting log at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/10/15/%23ubuntu-us-dc.html) <bcurtiswx> paulproteus, your attendance has saved you from our sacrifice to the LoCo gods this evening ;) <bcurtiswx> poor JonathanD , he's voted for tonight <kjcole> bcurtiswx: I've considered some of the high-powered antennas being used by the DC Broadband Bridge folks. <kjcole> Anyway, I'm gonna book on outa here I think. <bcurtiswx> kjcole, thanks for your time once again <kjcole> Later. <JonathanD> Hi. <JonathanD> What did I do? #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-17 <ChinnoDog> I forgot about meeting. doh <marcoceppi> I will be here tonight <bcurtiswx> lol, great to hear about meeting tonight :) <ChinnoDog> oh. It is tonight. I thought I missed it. <marcoceppi> I actually remembered in time to be here <bcurtiswx> Still tonight <bcurtiswx> about 6 minutes <bcurtiswx> kjcole, it's looking good tonight <kjcole> bcurtiswx, do tell, praytell. <bcurtiswx> ChinnoDog, and marcoceppi are here <kjcole> I almost bagged it. Then, as usual, I got to working on something that kept me at my desk past 6:00... <bcurtiswx> kjcole, you are quite dedicated <bcurtiswx> Hi Sujit <kjcole> Dedicated? Yes. Effective? Debatable. ;-) But I'm satisfied wit an "A for effort". ;-) <kjcole> Hokay!

It is a meeting hosted by the DC Government's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). <bcurtiswx> Still, it's nice to know all of whats going on around the region that technology related <Sujit> Yeah. Its doesnt have anything related to Ubuntu I guess <kjcole> Government wonks blather on about trying to improve digital inclusion, and others lobby for them to hurry it up. <bcurtiswx> did this summit have anything to do with the eventual wireless access in WMATA tunnels <kjcole> There is some overlap between the Broadband Bridge group and the LoCo <kjcole> but the Summit is probably not going to be the place to exploit that. <bcurtiswx> #action kjcole to add these events to LoCo calendar <bcurtiswx> ok, then DCWEEK ? <Sujit> IT IS ON A MONDAY!! <Sujit> not happening for me :( <marcoceppi> DCWEEK is quite long <bcurtiswx> What goes on there? <marcoceppi> O <marcoceppi> I'm skimming the schedule now <bcurtiswx> please add a link to it <marcoceppi> http://digitalcapitalweek.org/schedule/ <bcurtiswx> #link http://digitalcapitalweek.org/schedule/ <marcoceppi> APIs, startup, funding, iOS, HTML5 from what I gathered <bcurtiswx> kjcole got a link to the broadband summit ? <Sujit> DCWEEK is long...not Broadband summit. http://connect.dc.gov/event/fall-2012-community-broadband-summit <kjcole> #link http://connect.dc.gov/event/fall-2012-community-broadband-summit <bcurtiswx> thanks <ChinnoDog> I am here now. <bcurtiswx> ChinnoDog, thanks for attending :) <kjcole> #link https://fall2012summit.eventbrite.com/ <Sujit> Hello Chinnodog <ChinnoDog> hiya <bcurtiswx> So there are quite a few events, Would someone be willing to put together a brief summary of each of these events for the website and mailing list. I can accumulate and distribute once completed <bcurtiswx> ihodge@example.net <marcoceppi> Sure, I'll help out with that <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, which event would you like ? <bcurtiswx> or events <kjcole> DCWEEK is now posted to the calendar. <marcoceppi> I'll take DCWEEK for a brief summary <bcurtiswx> kjcole, would you make a brief summary for it and send to me at ihodge@example.net <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, it's yours <bcurtiswx> how about the broadband summit ? <kjcole> I'll put the summit there for what it's worth, with the caveat that it's more wonky less LoCo'ey <bcurtiswx> kjcole, OK i figured i'd gather all of it together and send one mass e-mail out. I'm happy to do that if you want to send me the summar in e-mail <bcurtiswx> summary* <kjcole> ("there" being the calendar). I'll also send a summary. <bcurtiswx> #action marcoceppi to send summary of DCWEEK to bcurtiswx <kjcole> bcurtiswx, summary to you. <bcurtiswx> #action kjcole to send summary of broadband summit to bcurtisx <bcurtiswx> or bcurtiswx.. LOL <bcurtiswx> OK onto the next topic <bcurtiswx> #topic Advertising local linux help. <Sujit> I have one.. <Sujit> WHat happened to InstallFest? <bcurtiswx> Sujit, did you want to use the mailing list to organize an installfest ? <bcurtiswx> I'm happy to work with you on it if you'd like <Sujit> sure <bcurtiswx> #action Sujit to work on organizing an installfest for Quantal Quetzal <Sujit> Do you have a plkace in mind?/ <bcurtiswx> Sujit, we'll discuss that later <Sujit> place* <Sujit> ok. <bcurtiswx> onto the topic <bcurtiswx> I think the mailing list would be a great medium to advertise people to get linux help. This gets people in our mailing list and will hopefully increase awareness of what we do <bcurtiswx> The workload behind this would require flyers to be designed and then we'll need to find out where we can legally distribute them <marcoceppi> Why not just help point people to something like Ask Ubuntu? <Sujit> But not many people dont know linux/ubuntu...why would they join ubuntu mailing list? <kjcole> #idea folks with access to schools or community centers might possibly throw a flyer up occasionally, no? <Sujit> I like flyers idea <Sujit> +1 <bcurtiswx> kjcole, that's a good idea <bcurtiswx> it would be an advertisement to try Ubuntu and ask all questions on the mailing list.. If we use ask ubuntu we drive traffic away, why not have it come through here first and we can reference ask ubuntu if we need to ? <bcurtiswx> #agree to kjcole's idea <marcoceppi> That's fine, I think we should just be pushing to help expose Ubuntu more <kjcole> To spread the work around, we should try to rope Mr. Weber, who claims art among his skills, into flyer design. (I've done a few, and could probably rejigger one of my old ones, but...) <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, we can promote Ubuntu as the main content and make pull tabs to a wiki page with how to get help <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: +1 I misunderstood the original topic <kjcole> bcurtiswx, +1 that. <Sujit> sounds good <bcurtiswx> so #help design flyer <bcurtiswx> #help design wiki page <bcurtiswx> Ok, anything else on this topic ? <bcurtiswx> I think flyers are a good start <marcoceppi> For reference, some of the resources here could help: http://spreadubuntu.org/ <bcurtiswx> absolutely <Sujit> I think we shld ask for a confirmation frm MR Weber that he is ready to design....rather than assuming <bcurtiswx> #link http://spreadubuntu.org/ <kjcole> #idea Take images (and other ideas, texts, etc.) from the Software Freedom Day site <kjcole> #link http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide#Useful_Documents.2C_Templates.2C_Files_and_Examples <bcurtiswx> kjcole, yes, add the link too <bcurtiswx> YAY! <bcurtiswx> Sujit, i left it as an open help request in case he doesn't <Sujit> ok. <bcurtiswx> #topic Gathering information about our members and where they are in the Ubuntu "experience" <bcurtiswx> If we have a list on our wiki with member specialties it may make communication between our members easier <kjcole> Before I forget: People with photos on Flickr who have not yet gotten onto the group, need to bug maco for membership. <kjcole> If she's no longer maintaining that, she can probably hand admin rights to someone else. <bcurtiswx> kjcole, you care to take care of finding out ? <kjcole> bcrutiswx, Will ask her. <bcurtiswx> #action kjcole to talk with maco about flickr group maintainence. <bcurtiswx> Anyone here want to take care of writing an e-mail to the mailing list to gather this information ? <bcurtiswx> OK, i'll leave it as an open help topic <bcurtiswx> #help write e-mail to mailing list requesting Ubuntu specialties from LoCo members <kjcole> #idea http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/node/add/poll <kjcole> #link http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/node/add/poll <bcurtiswx> kjcole, thank you <Sujit> I am sorry, but do we need to ask admin to add us to the ubuntu group before we upload photos? <bcurtiswx> Sujit, good question, I am not sure <Sujit> Becuase I added pics to that group and I never bothered to ask admin <kjcole> Sujit, You can upload whatever you want to your account, but to have it flagged as being part of the DC Ubuntu LoCo, maco has to add you as a member to the group. <kjcole> Sujit, Really? <bcurtiswx> OK, kjcole is going to be looking into that so we can move on :) <Sujit> hmmm. i see my pics in that group. can you guys see ? <Sujit> ok <kjcole> Right. Moving on. ;-) <bcurtiswx> #topic Ideas for the LoCo going forward <bcurtiswx> anyone have anything they can think of that we can do as a group in the future? <marcoceppi> Sadly, not sure how meetingology works, so... <marcoceppi> More publicity for Ubuntu via demos in public places <bcurtiswx> #link http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot <Sujit> try to attend all meetings and events .. :-P <kjcole> #idea something at HacDC, to be determined?

Say hi to M shuttlworth <bcurtiswx> I had lunch with him <bcurtiswx> Rick Spencer introduced me <Sujit> what the ......... <kjcole> Where do you people find the time / money??? <Sujit> really? <bcurtiswx> really really <Sujit> exactly Kjcole <marcoceppi> Had a beer with him in San Diego, thanks to Jorge Castro <bcurtiswx> I do a lot of Desktop Team work, so canonical lets me go for free ;) <kjcole> The DC LoCo had an interesting beginning that allowed me to meet him at Below Zero in Canada: <bcurtiswx> kjcole, once day I'd like to get a devoted team together to work out the details of having a UDS at Washington Convention Center <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: I thought the same about the Gaylord <kjcole> The human hurricane known as Paul Flint knew Matt Zimmerman before he joined Canonical. <Sujit> You have all my supoort bcurtwix <marcoceppi> but having a UDS in DC would be amazing <bcurtiswx> We have the night life that UDS's seem to require <kjcole> Matt slipped Paul some very early CD's and Paul became the defacto Team Contact for DC until moving to Vermont. <bcurtiswx> we can be DC tour guides, im sure we've all done it for friends family who visit.. <marcoceppi> sure, definitely <marcoceppi> I'd be interested in what the process is for making DC a candidate. I know having a loco presence is a plus <kjcole> Paul, with his inside connection, got Jeff Elkner and a couple of others to Australia for Down Under, and then the three of us went to UBZ in Canada. <bcurtiswx> well having an approved LoCo will help a lot ;) <kjcole> Oh, now there's an idea! <marcoceppi> so, we're still not approved after we "fell out"? <marcoceppi> that's not what the loco portal says ;) <bcurtiswx> we need to support we're on the right track again and even after this meeting we've got plenty of information <kjcole> I've seen events pulled off by a small handful of people... (Wikimania being the most recent.) <Sujit> I thought we are approved <bcurtiswx> we aren't but i'll leave kjcole to that <kjcole> marcoceppi, I got e-mail saying "you're gone" a while back. I believe I forwarded to the list. <marcoceppi> kjcole: I remember that <bcurtiswx> The wife needs the dual screen greatness of my desktop for her homework. I will see ya all next month and look forward to your e-mails <marcoceppi> o/ <kjcole> marcoceppi, that was the from the official "powers-that-be". <kjcole> I'm going to go rot my mind in front of the tube in a few minutes. <Sujit> good night bcurtiswx <kjcole> (The OTHER tube.) <marcoceppi> see you all alter <kjcole> alter what? ;-) <Sujit> good night guys. * kjcole waves good bye. <Sujit> hahh. m sure that was a typo <marcoceppi> s/alter/later/ * kjcole heads off to the 55" television here in the office. #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-18 <Lucas__> Hi <Lucas__> Bye * kjcole changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-dc to: 2012-10-17 meeting minutes at http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/ubuntu-us-dc/meetings/2012-10-17T22:59:59.html <bcurtiswx> kjcole, sorry I haven't gotten to an e-mail yet. It's on my todo list though. <kjcole> bcurtiswx, I haven't gotten to my tasks either. (Well, I did send off a note to maco asking about Flickr, but that's it so far.) #ubuntu-us-dc 2012-10-27 <lkpx> me.com <lkpx> #!/usr/bin/perl <lkpx> Atencion 290 22...Atencion 290 22...Atencion 290 22 ...65438...34742...23453...23454...29584...24836... 22334...34635...10202...19375...34653...23457... 12345...94532...24643...27543...14795...24568... 75744...74755...87194...63549...Final,final. <lkpx> +1-203-976-2548 <lkpx> text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 <lkpx> <UL> <LI>First list item <LI>Second list item <p>second paragraph of second item <LI>Third list item </UL> #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-01 <lfaraone> marcoceppi: not sure. <ChinnoDog> I bet DC looks empty today. <marcoceppi> adom: email their support <marcoceppi> adom: https://one.ubuntu.com/help/contact/ <adom> i already created a bug report, might contact as well later #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-02 <ChinnoDog> marcoceppi: I need a new roomie. Know anyone that wants to live in this neighborhood? <marcoceppi> ChinnoDog: Nof off the top of my head, I'll keep my ears out <ChinnoDog> Thanks. <adom> hey guysremind me the location again please? <ChinnoDog> Oh yea, that is today <adom> haha Were getting food first <ChinnoDog> It is on the same street as Lost Dog <ChinnoDog> at Crave <adom> k WereHeading that way, just going to grab food somewhere nearby there <marcoceppi> ChinnoDog: I'll be heading over in about 10 mins <ChinnoDog> k, see you there <adom> Were at black finn eating a sandwich. by over right after. <adom> be* * adom is on his phone. <marcoceppi> adom: cool, we're in crave <adom> Were Heading over Now. well bethe two geeks with Laptops. #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-03 <adom> ssh.blinkenshell.org <marcoceppi> adom: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ <adom> cheers <ChinnoDog> Morning <marcoceppi> o/ <ChinnoDog> I like Crave but I think we need bigger tables <marcoceppi> heh, probably <adom> haha agreed <adom> was still a fun time though <adom> btw, Tim and I drove there in his rental, and it got towed <adom> we had to walk to the towing place and pay $150 to get it back <adom> luckily we were both in high spirits and laughed about it <adom> we split the cost <adom> honestly $150 for a towed vehicle doesn't seem that high <marcoceppi> adom: holy shit! Why was it towed? <marcoceppi> How far was the tow yard? I could have given you guys a lift <ChinnoDog> Where did you park? The garage is free. #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-05 <adom> well, we found a little dirt parking lot that was half empty. turns out there was a hard to see sign that said "Permit parking only". the sign is clearly hidden from view until you enter the lot so we didn't notice it. <adom> we laughed because there were many other places to park but we chose to park there. * adom shrug. #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-07 <linuxtech> Anyone want to do a key signing tomorrow? <linuxtech> I want to package something for Debian and Ubuntu, and I can't find my old key I made more than 10 years ago... <linuxtech> Not tomorrow, Wed. <linuxtech> My launchpad id is cp and I have tried to subscribe to the ubuntu-us-dc list, but someone needs to approve it apparently. <ChinnoDog> The list is slow. Probably no one paying attention. I'll see if I can help with that. #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-08 <marcoceppi_> linuxtech: I'll sign your key if we can meet in real life somewhere * marcoceppi_ needs more signatures too <adom> so LeaseWeb got hacked over the weekend. <adom> hackers claimed they got customer data <adom> all they did was redirect our leaseweb.com DNS entry to a different IP temporarily <adom> no one was affected <adom> meh <ChinnoDog> Isn't that why hackers post confidential data online? To prove they are hot full of hot air? <adom> yeah, they just showed a landing page that said something like "we hacked you, this page is prove. :)" <adom> and yes, they spelled "proof" wrong. * adom facepalm <adom> they just managed to change the DNS entry to point to a different IP address. <adom> nonetheless, we're resetting passwords and all that. <adom> probably just to say we did <adom> although its almost completely unecessary. <adom> meh <linuxtech> Key signing tomorrow Wednesday Crystal City Shops food court ("The Landing") at 4:15; It looks like it will be 4 of us thus far. and two are Debian Developers! #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-09 <linuxtech> http://www.thecrystalcityshops.com/ shows location. <linuxtech> marcoceppi_: Can you make the keysigning tomorrow? <linuxtech> I don't know the DC are, so I posted a couple images to help me narrow down the location. http://axs.org/keysigning/ <linuxtech> The green arrow is close, Aaron Ucko said: Yes, those appear to match up. Please note that the shops are largely underground, so there may well be no aboveground buildings corresponding to the Landing. <linuxtech> http://goo.gl/QKZ8q1 Link to Google Map. <linuxtech> Note I will not have Internet access or be on IRC tomorrow. People can find my phone number via whois axs.org. <marcoceppi_> linuxtech: I should be able to make it <adom> whois axs.org <adom> whoops <adom> that whois doesnt work, just fyi <adom> count me out this event, busy at work because taking Friday off to head up to NY for a wedding this weekend. <ChinnoDog> Would be nice if there were push notifications for apt in Saucy so I didn't have to apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade <ChinnoDog> I guess I will just cron it <adom> ChinnoDog: on past setups when I had conky setups you can have a part of the config output the amount of updates needed if any. <ChinnoDog> Just thought it would be neat if I could have an up-to-the-second version of saucy <adom> Failing to find a screenshot of example. Anyway, yeah if you want up-to-the-second I guess you could just do a cron job. <adom> Although, you could just have the cron job output notifications for when it finds that a package(s) needs updated right? <adom> Here's a quick google result you could look into: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/lucid/notification-daemon/ <adom> says lucid, so don't know about compatibility, but whatevs <marcoceppi_> Oh crap, I totally forgot about the keysigning <marcoceppi_> :\ #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-14 <ChinnoDog> Morning <marcoceppi> o/ <ChinnoDog> Angelika cancelled their showing of Walking Dead for this season <ChinnoDog> I need a new place to watch it #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-15 <rickspencer3> hey loco team ... any thoughts about setting up a meetup for Thursday for the release party? <rickspencer3> ChanServ, do you do anything interesting? <ChinnoDog> ChanServ is boring. He has the personality of a robot. * adom lawls. <rickspencer3> hey adom, ChinnoDog * adom waves. <rickspencer3> would you guys come out to a little celebration on THursday night? <adom> Whereabouts? <rickspencer3> I'm looking to reserve a table for us at Bread and Soda <rickspencer3> it's on Wisconsin Avenue in Glover Park <adom> that's a 45min drive from my work. i dont get out until 5:30, so i wouldnt get there until 6:15 at the very earliest. more likely closer to 6:45 probably. <adom> if everyone will be tryign to go, i could try to attend as well <adom> but cant guarantee anything yet <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I've got plans on Thursday night already :\ <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, bring them! <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: If only! Unfortunatley these plans put me in Southern VA <rickspencer3> ChinnoDog, adom, marcoceppi what do you guys think about me setting a meetup on meetup.com? <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: for the release party, or for more regular events? <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, for the release party as a start? <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I don't really have a problem, with the exception that meetup is a paid for platform <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, yeah, I can pay for it <rickspencer3> it may bring some more people into the loco, I was thinking <rickspencer3> arg ... I have to name the meetup group and stuff <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, how does "DC Ubuntu Parties" sound for a group name? <rickspencer3> I presume I can change it later <rickspencer3> maybe DC Ubuntu Get Togethers ? <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: Ubuntu DC LoCo might be a better umbrela name, or "Ubuntu DC" <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, is it ok if I use "LoCo"? <ChinnoDog> Meetup for this purpose seems useful but unnecessary <rickspencer3> I didn't want to be presumptious <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I'd recommend at least mailing the ubuntu dc mailing list with this idea too, since only a small amount of us are in IRC <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, well, I tried the mailing list, but got rejected because I was not accepted tot he team yet :( <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I assume so? <rickspencer3> I'll leave LoCo out of it for now <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: that's lame, we really need to figure out who has the power of what in the loco and get some more active bodies in places <rickspencer3> I don't feel like it would be right for me to claim that I represent the Loco <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, well, in fairness, I applied like 1 hour ago :) <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: ah, that's probably why! ;) <ChinnoDog> I sent a message to the list requesting access to moderate and the response was that all pending membership requests have been taken care of <ChinnoDog> Oh. 1hr ago is not long. <rickspencer3> ChinnoDog, :) <rickspencer3> hey marcoceppi ChinnoDog adom, etc... http://www.meetup.com/DC-DMV-Ubuntu-Meetup-Group/ * marcoceppi joins * adom joined. <rickspencer3> yeah! <rickspencer3> I'm confirming a venue in a few minutes, then I'll make the invite for the event <rickspencer3> http://www.meetup.com/DC-DMV-Ubuntu-Meetup-Group/events/145669202/ <rickspencer3> ChinnoDog, any chance you could send that through the loco mailing list or something? <ChinnoDog> Just wait for them to auth you. If it takes too long I can send a message to the list to nudge them. <rickspencer3> thanks ChinnoDog <adom> rickspencer3: you might want to update bcurtiswx, he's OP here. <bcurtiswx> hey rickspencer3 what can i do for you ? <bcurtiswx> adom, what did he want befre ? <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: \o/ <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: he's waiting for approval on the dc loco list <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: also, can you op someone eles in the channel, or add them to chanserv? <bcurtiswx> i can op anyone, but we've approved everyone we have in waiting <rickspencer3> hi bcurtiswx <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, I joined the dc loco team this morning (I think) <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, and also, I am organizing a little release event <rickspencer3> I would like to invite the loco to that <adom> bcurtiswx: sorry for late response, at work...just that i think ^^^ <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, lemme go look, once sec <rickspencer3> thanks bcurtiswx <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, what is your launchpad id ? <rickspencer3> rick-rickspencer3 <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, ^ <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, I don't see it https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-districtofcolumbia <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, hmmm <rickspencer3> let me try again <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, ok, I have no idea what team I tried to join earlier :) <bcurtiswx> we've had to change our name before, since we're the weird part of the US in that we aren't a state, but a territory <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, taxation without representation :) <bcurtiswx> ;) <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, so, can you come on Thursday? <bcurtiswx> not looking good for me specifically, things can change tho. <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, so what brings you to DC from Seattle ? <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, well, we (my wife, son, and I) lived in Alexandria in 90s, before we left so I could work at Microsoft in 1998 <rickspencer3> that's why we went to Seattle <rickspencer3> after the boy graduated High School, I had already been working for Canonical for 4.5 years, so ... <rickspencer3> we decided to move back <rickspencer3> my wife didn't love Seattle, but we both love DC <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, ah I'm sorry you had to deal with MSoft ;) <rickspencer3> (we have a daughter now too, but didn't when we left for Seattle) <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, almost 10 years there! <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, well then, welcome back :) <rickspencer3> thanks bcurtiswx <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, I'd love to be part of other loco events, btw <bcurtiswx> you introduced me to Mr. Shuttleworth at the UDS-O so I'm still thankful for that <rickspencer3> I should have planned this party weeks ago, but I was so heads down driving the phone release <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, oh? I don't recall, though I'm sure he does <rickspencer3> sabdfl never forgets anyeone <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, i'm not very happy with how touch has taken away from the Desktop, but hopefully when things start getting more "gelled" the Desktop can regain that focus <bcurtiswx> We usually meet once a month in here for formalities as we try to get "official LoCo" status back <rickspencer3> we're not official? <rickspencer3> hmmm <bcurtiswx> i'm sure we could, but with how busy everyone is, we haven't attended a "let us back in" IRC chat <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, hold on, just took a call <rickspencer3> brb <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, sure thing <ChinnoDog> rickspencer3: I would be curious about the relative merits of living in DC vs Seattle. <rickspencer3> ChinnoDog, then come on Thursday! <rickspencer3> ;) <rickspencer3> we can talk all about it <rickspencer3> personally, I like both places <bcurtiswx> Meteorologically speaking, Seattle's a rainy place, but probably not as rainy as the past week has been <ChinnoDog> I can't on Thursday. :-( I already have plans. <bcurtiswx> Yeah, typically there's two points that have to be met in order for people to show ihodge@example.net.. A) Metro access and B) Weekends <ChinnoDog> I would be up for it most weekdays but can't this time. <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx good to note about the metro access, I'll keep that in mind for next time <ChinnoDog> I like having my weekends to myself. <rickspencer3> probably more than 2 days notice too ;) <marcoceppi> we had a small, but successful two outings from just the people in IRC on weekdays, but weekends are way better (and more notice) <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, marcoceppi is there a Loco wiki page where I should put the breadsoda thing? <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, haha.. There is <bcurtiswx> the reason i laugh, is that we have a drupal page.. well.. had one.. and Canonical is having a troubled time getting it back up.. <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/ <rickspencer3> oops <bcurtiswx> it's been that way for a good month now <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, well, now you have an escalation point :) <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, if it helps it's been in purgatory in rt "rt.ubuntu.com #22941" <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, I need to go, remind me tomorrow and I'll chase it up :) <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, i will try. Have a great evening <rickspencer3> bye! <bcurtiswx> bye <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED TO TALK TO <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, yes? <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: IS contacted me a while ago, they can't update it and took it off line because of a plugin incompatibility <marcoceppi> it, the site <marcoceppi> after the forums were comprimised, they went through and upgraded all the properites. They asked me about the site but I didn't know who to mention it to <marcoceppi> and it slipped my mind <bcurtiswx> they contacted you? <bcurtiswx> when? <marcoceppi> before the site was taken offline <marcoceppi> shortly before* <marcoceppi> they can put it back online but the plugin needs to be removed or whatever. Let me find the email <bcurtiswx> i've been on contact with them after that, in e-mail threads, i gave them perm to get it back up with a newer Drupal <bcurtiswx> they told me all that in their initial communication <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, but, thanks :) <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: cool <marcoceppi> I can help push it along if need b <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, OK, Thanks #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-16 <rickspencer3> morning all <marcoceppi> o/ <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: where abouts are you in the city? <rickspencer3> hi marcoceppi, I live in Glover Park <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: ah, cool <rickspencer3> how about you marcoceppi? <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: Falls Church, VA <rickspencer3> gotcha <marcoceppi> planning on moving in to the city proper come december <ChinnoDog> This neighborhood not good enough for you marcoceppi? lol <marcoceppi> ChinnoDog: I find myself riding in to DC more often then not during the week <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, where in the city? <ChinnoDog> Isn't everything going to cost 2x as much if you move into DC? <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I'm not sure yet, just started looking <bcurtiswx> marcoceppi, where in Falls Church? <bcurtiswx> I live inside the 495/66/7 triangle <bcurtiswx> thankfully not quite the bermuda one.. ... i think <marcoceppi> bcurtiswx: At the new Mosaic town center, where the Target is <bcurtiswx> cool #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-17 <rickspencer3> good morning all <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: o/ <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, looks like the release is going fine, (according to infinity and cjwatson) <rickspencer3> now just waiting for sabdfl to name the next release :) <marcoceppi> huzzah <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: I seem to remember he naming them a few weeks before the release, seems he's a bit too busy these days ;) <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, yeah, he used to name them around beta time #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-18 <rickspencer3> o/ <rickspencer3> forgot to autojoin :) <bcurtiswx> o/ <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, should hud-service be taking up 15% of my 8GB of RAM ? <rickspencer3> uh <rickspencer3> no :) <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, that sounds like a pretty serious bug <bcurtiswx> how would I restart it ? <bcurtiswx> there's no service for it <bcurtiswx> just kill and it'l autospawn rickspencer3 <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, sorry, I don't really know <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, OK j/w, thx <rickspencer3> #ubuntu-desktop would probably love to hear from you :) <bcurtiswx> rickspencer3, i'm fairly sure I have a professional annoyer tag in my secret canonical employee profile ;) <rickspencer3> lol <bcurtiswx> bbl, gotta go pick up my wife from WMATA <rickspencer3> bcurtiswx, well, people who help us track down and fix bugs are NOT annoying #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-21 <adom> morning all <marcoceppi> o/ <rickspencer3> morning marcoceppi <rickspencer3> I'm starting a DC Bus app for Ubuntu this morning :) <adom> nice <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: you're not out in San Fran? <rickspencer3> marcoceppi, nah, it's the cloud sprint this week <rickspencer3> next week is the client sprint in Oakland <marcoceppi> rickspencer3: ah, gotchya <rickspencer3> where we will work with design and also prep for vUDS <adom> someone tell me what vUDS is? <rickspencer3> adom, vUDS is "virtual UDS" <rickspencer3> we moved UDS to be online every 3 months <rickspencer3> instead of a live event you have to travel to, every 6 months #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-22 <rickspencer3> morning all <rickspencer3> https://code.launchpad.net/~rick-rickspencer3/+junk/DCBusit <ChinnoDog> morning <rickspencer3> o/ ChinnoDog <ChinnoDog> There is now vUDS? <adom> morning <adom> rickspencer3: ...and what's UDS? <adom> should i already know? <rickspencer3> adom, Ubuntu Developer Summit <adom> ahhh <adom> cool <rickspencer3> it's when we get together and discuss the next release <rickspencer3> did you guys see my Metro bus app for the phone? <adom> saw the link, havent checked it yet <adom> hey, didnt Ubuntu Touch just release stable? <adom> like, last week <marcoceppi> adom: Wouldn't cal it "stable" but it's a usable image, it'll def get lots of heavy updates this cycle though <adom> marcoceppi: gimme a guesstimate as to when I'll be able to install Ubuntu Touch on my mainstream Android phone and use it day-to-day. <adom> by mainstream phone, let's say I get the new Nexus 5. <adom> (which i'm planning on and we should all discuss because wow its amazing and only $350 without contract) <marcoceppi> adom: no idea, but soon. Nexus 4 version of the site does a pretty good job so far as I understand * marcoceppi is cloud/server has no idea <adom> marcoceppi: fair enough <marcoceppi> adom: rickspencer3 should know ;) <adom> rickspencer3: any idea on when a day-to-day usable release of ubuntu touch might be available for download? <adom> also, is Ubuntu doing dev on the new Nexus 5 yet? j/c <rickspencer3> adom, I think it already has been <rickspencer3> that was 13.10 <rickspencer3> I have been using Ubuntu as my only phone for a month or two <rickspencer3> but as of last week, it works quite well <rickspencer3> it lacks a few features, but nothing blocking you from using it <adom> rickspencer3: oh. wow, nice. <adom> i have a Samsung GS3, can I install it? <rickspencer3> adom, well, could be, if there is a community port <rickspencer3> the ports are nice, but really not close to the official Nexus 4 image <rickspencer3> honestly, if you don't have a Nexus 4, it would be hard to use it as your only phone, I think <adom> rickspencer3: fair enough. <adom> any progress on the nexus 5 yet? or is it still too early? <rickspencer3> adom, sorry, I didn't see your question <rickspencer3> adom, we haven't picked a new reference platform yet <adom> rickspencer3: oh. i was hoping Nexus 5 would be an assured platform for Ubuntu Touch in the future. maybe not refernece platform, but I assumed there'd be at least support for the hardware. <rickspencer3> it might be <rickspencer3> just not sure yet <adom> fair enough <adom> im still pretty sure I'm getting one. $350 without a contract with great hardware, you can't beat that in my book. <adom> although ill probably spring for the larger storage memory one for more <adom> im psyched. my anticipation stems mostly from the dream of leaving TMobile i have to admit. <adom> its not that bad up where I'm from, but once we moved down here, it became a wifi tablet in my pocket pretty much. <adom> thinking I'll switch to Verizon. gf and I have been planning on starting a new share plan rather than seperate plans. Verizon seems to have great coverage around here and i've been told their 4G LTE is the fastest (or at least it usually beats AT&T's) <adom> glad to hear from anyone about their provider and the coverage/speed they get <ChinnoDog> What does anyone make of the prices on http://cloudatcost.com/? <ChinnoDog> Will they be in business longer than 5 minutes? <ChinnoDog> adom: I bet you cannot beat those rates. #ubuntu-us-dc 2013-10-24 <adom> ChinnoDog: you snag one of those $35 cloud ihodge@example.net? im just checking it out now. <adom> for $35 one time fee, i might just have to grab one for the theck of it. <adom> even just for SSH and all that <adom> very enticing idea <ChinnoDog> adom: no. I was considering one of the high end ones but idk anything about that site. What if they go belly up tomorrow? <adom> yeah, was thinking about it...wouldn't be surprised if 6 or 18 months from now they *accidentally* got hacked and all emails, passwords (unhashed), credit card data, and server data was compromised and the company disappeared. <adom> just seems like their only goal is gaining a wide user base and not making nay profit. <adom> its likely just a reseller with a private rack somewhere charging to host VPSs for customers, we have plenty of those here, but those prices are sketchy as hell. <ChinnoDog> They use someone else's equipment I think <ChinnoDog> I doubt they have any of their own equipment <ChinnoDog> I mean.. I could do that <ChinnoDog> (Maybe I should) <ChinnoDog> On the plus side the AUP does not have an IRC restriction <ChinnoDog> adom: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/new-provider-cloudatcost-com-cheap-vps-1-month-first-10000-servers-1392062/2/#post17553730 <ChinnoDog> I'm not entirely sure how to interpret it but what I get from it is that they are super cheap because they built /everything/, which is probably convenient to do in Canada, a land of large open spaces <adom> i might just buy one of the
