[03:03] SGVLUG has a meeting on February 11th. The topic is "Building a Community." http://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/227991894/ [03:03] Liz Krane will be talking about her experience growing the Learn to Code LA Meetup group to 2200 members in less than a year. [03:03] ok sounds nice but is still a bit of a drive for me [03:04] They'll also be raffling off some leftover stuff from SCALE, so if you really miss Pasadena, it's a good excuse to go back. :) [03:04] nhaines: any thoughts as to how we could convince Richard to start posting announcements to his Pasadena Ubuntu Hours to the team? or at least adding them to LTP or meetup? [03:05] they're kind of invisible to the team at the moment, which is ashame for folks looking for LA-focused events (I don't remember the details for them, so I struggle to help people find info about them) [03:05] pleia2: That's a good question. I owe him a phone call, so I'll mention it to him this week. [03:05] cool [03:06] sounds like that LUG meeting should be fun [03:06] #topic Announcements [03:06] anyone have any announcements? [03:07] * ianorlin does not [03:07] tablet news last week was pretty big :) http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/02/04/canonical-reinvents-the-personal-mobile-computing-experience/ [03:07] and our own nhaines is organizing the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase this cycle http://nhaines.livejournal.com/69721.html [03:08] Yes! [03:08] materials for that get included in an LTS, which I learned at SCALE is what 97% of ubuntu users use [03:09] TIL some people aren't perpetually running devel. [03:09] hehe [03:09] "some" [03:10] it does offer perspective on the decision to switch to only 9 months support for the 6 months releases [03:10] Indeed. [03:11] I still think they should've waited two more interrim releases to do so, though. [03:11] it was a bit abrupt [03:12] alright, so moving along [03:12] #topic UbuCon Summit / SCALE 14x post-mortem meeting. [03:12] #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x [03:12] I updated the wiki earlier with links to photos (are there other galleries of photos? Please add links!), blog posts and videos from the ubucon summit [03:13] I believe I received photos from David Ellsworth, but I think we ran into a weird sharing name collision in OwnCloud, so I will troubleshoot. [03:14] fun times [03:15] I'd say UbuCon was a giant success. [03:15] I agree :) [03:16] I hope Canonical also found value in it and will continue supporting us in the future, and maybe some other UbuCons too [03:16] nhaines: were you at the organizing team wrap-up meeting last week? [03:17] pleia2: no, I couldn't make it, so that's another reason I owe Richard a phone call. [03:17] But everything I've heard from Canonical so far is that they were very happy. [03:17] I wasn't either (wrong side of the planet) [03:17] that's good to hear :) [03:18] And I believe they'll be working with UbuCon Europe as well. I'll be sitting in on that meeting Tuesday, if I can be up at 6:30am, which is always dubious. [03:18] nice [03:18] haha, yeah [03:18] yeah it went really well [03:18] Probably the only thing I would do differently for UbuCon is to feature the Q&A more centrally. [03:19] nhaines: that would probably be nice [03:19] But outside of that, I thought the unconference portion turned out really well. [03:19] I would have liked to hear some more results from the unconference [03:20] like how the track leads at UOS do a summary hangout to share [03:20] so maybe a conclusion session where each group shares something [03:20] That's a really good idea. [03:20] unconferences yeah that could be good sharing what happened at the others is one thing that could be better [03:22] I thought the booth worked very well also, although I think we could've used that extra table after all. [03:22] yeah, every time I came by the booth it was quite busy [03:23] yeah it seems booth has been quite busy last three years [03:23] The booth's been really busy all 8 years. [03:24] hehe [03:25] The convergence demo was a huge hit. It'll be really exciting next year when it's running legacy desktop apps, too. [03:25] * pleia2 nods [03:26] Was there anything the booth could've done better or differently? [03:27] no ideas from me [03:28] The booth is pretty much a known quantity these days. [03:28] yep [03:29] I would like to specifically thank Luis Caballero for being an absolute rockstar at the booth Friday and Saturday. [03:29] yay, thanks Luis! [03:29] Even the Canonical community team mentioned it to me. [03:32] So to me, UbuCon Summit and SCALE were a giant success because a lot of people came together and worked hard. [03:33] ++ [03:33] excellent work everyone :) I had a blast [03:33] Richard and I are always trying to keep from getting complacent about UbuCon, but I think the general formula works. :) [03:35] #topic Any other business [03:36] anything else for this meeting? [03:36] * ianorlin does not have anything [03:36] Nothing from me. [03:37] alrighty, thanks guys [03:37] #endmeeting }}}
