21:04 < MatthewMPP> BlenderCAD had it's first meeting today from 12-6pm, however, no one showed.  I was expecting Zanahade, Eric, and Stephen.

21:05 < calimer> I have two things to mention but I'll brb need to get in a quick shower before it gets too late
21:05 < johnc4510> Ubuntu Open Week finished up last Friday, and as usual, it was a great 5 days of sessions geared toward helping the community get involved. The list of prominent Ubuntu community members hosting sessions was, as always, impressive. You can find the logs of all the Ubuntu Open Week Sessions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek just scroll down the page to "The Timetable" header and click on any session titleto read the logs.
21:05 < johnc4510> calimer: k

21:10 < johnc4510> I applied for the System 76er LoCo program. As soon as that's approved, we can submit our flyer for printing. I added their link to our website. They had a script you can add that displays their icon which is also a hotlink. http://azloco.com/
21:10 -!- dasunsrule32 [n=dasunsru@209.181.109.148] has joined #Ubuntu-US-AZ

21:10 < johnc4510> the script i added to our website is nice looking and smallish
21:10 < Jeff_Martin> johnc4510: pretty clean looking
21:11 < johnc4510> btw if you haven't seen the new system 76 netbook you should look it over
21:11 < johnc4510> Jeff_Martin: thx
21:11 < tyche> It may even be better than the Dell Mini 9
21:11 < johnc4510> http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=92
21:11 < johnc4510> yeah it's really slick looking
21:12 < johnc4510> a little more money i thing at 359
21:12 < johnc4510> and i think you can get different drives for extra
21:12 < johnc4510> but it's nice for sure
21:12 < tyche> Not considering that it's got more on it for SSD than the one I bought for $512
21:12 < johnc4510> :)
21:12 < johnc4510> tyche: ah thx
21:13 < johnc4510> i haven't read to much on it yep but...i think i would seriously consider it

21:28 < MatthewMPP> I was going to 1 run Kubuntu and 1 run Xubuntu, however Kubuntu was buggy, and it's a lot simpler to have just 1 distro.

21:32 < johnc4510> sure
21:32 < johnc4510> that works for me
