Started logging meeting in #ubuntu-us-tn
[19:42:17] <cyberanger> well, lemme think, what was my first thing
[19:42:20] <cyberanger> oh
[19:42:47] <cyberanger> [topic] Ubuntu 10.10 release is Oct. 10th, this sunday, Release Parties?
[19:42:57] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: middle tn status
[19:42:58] <cyberanger> ?
[19:43:16] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: no plans for a release party here
[19:43:57] <pace_t_zulu> we seem to be short of interested individuals
[19:44:22] <pace_t_zulu> i am only really aware of wrst and xpistos in the area
[19:44:42] <pace_t_zulu> this is something i'd be happy to discuss further offline
[19:44:55] <pace_t_zulu> but for the purposes of this meeting, no plans for a release party
[19:45:14] <cyberanger> we have more members that were here with intrest
[19:45:28] <cyberanger> Phase_: is in middle, dunno if he had intrest
[19:45:57] <cyberanger> also, did you ask nlug?
[19:46:13] <pace_t_zulu> no, not involved in nlug
[19:46:45] <cyberanger> I understand the size maybe small, for karmic, myself & ericG showed, if nlug wasn't asked, that's the size
[19:47:06] * wrst is geographically challenged
[19:47:08] <pace_t_zulu> i suppose getting involved with nlug could be beneficial for our team
[19:47:13] <cyberanger> when we did, it jumped to 4 (with a larger size expected, but things came up)
[19:47:24] <cyberanger> & we really need the event
[19:47:40] <pace_t_zulu> i am willing to plan it and be there
[19:48:06] <pace_t_zulu> when i have brought it up around here the response has been less than enthusiastice
[19:48:12] <pace_t_zulu> *enthusiastic
[19:48:17] <cyberanger> I'd rather have two guys plan & attend in each major city, with the possibility for more, than back down cause it's low
[19:48:34] <pace_t_zulu> but i should bring it up on the mailing list
[19:48:53] <pace_t_zulu> and i suppose i could use facebook... even though i'm totally creeped out by facebook these days
[19:48:55] <cyberanger> I know, but we have approx a month & a half with our deadline for an attempt for approval
[19:49:10] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: well, facebook bothers me too
[19:49:10] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: i'm with you...
[19:49:29] <cyberanger> ok, can you plan something, announce it by or on the 10th
[19:49:39] <cyberanger> I know that's very little time
[19:49:41] <pace_t_zulu> sure can
[19:49:56] <pace_t_zulu> you have any suggestion on a day or time?
[19:50:28] <cyberanger> I do suggest a place that we've been before
[19:50:36] <pace_t_zulu> wrst: is there a way we can facilitate your presence?
[19:50:45] <pace_t_zulu> J & J's?
[19:50:56] <cyberanger> the karmic one was at a mellow mushroom near J&J's
[19:51:04] <pace_t_zulu> i know both
[19:51:17] <wrst> pace_t_zulu: well extremly busy and pregnant wife pace_t_zulu so truthfully probably not
[19:51:19] <pace_t_zulu> mellow mushroom offers more in terms of beer selection
[19:51:21] <cyberanger> have nlug or us been there before
[19:51:39] <pace_t_zulu> xpistos seems to only be available on sunday afternoons
[19:51:41] <wrst> i am going to do my best to go to our next cooklug meeting
[19:52:05] <cyberanger> wrst: I'll make that a loco event
[19:52:22] <wrst> ha ha works for me there will be an ubuntu user or two there
[19:52:24] <cyberanger> any chance they would be ok with a release party after their meeting
[19:52:39] <cyberanger> wrst: ^
[19:53:19] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: not trying to encroach when I said I'll list that as an event, your region
[19:53:30] <cyberanger> is it just us three?
[19:53:31] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: no worries
[19:53:35] <wrst> uhh dont' know, not 100% i will make it but pretty sure
[19:53:41] <pace_t_zulu> linuxman410 and chris4585 were around earlier
[19:53:49] <pace_t_zulu> but yes... right now
[19:53:55] <cyberanger> I'm on their list too wrst, I'll ask
[19:54:01] <linuxman410> i am still here
[19:54:11] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: are you ok asking nlug, I could ask
[19:54:31] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger, i have no affiliation with nlug... wouldn't know
[19:54:38] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger, please do
[19:54:39] <cyberanger> I'll ask
[19:54:52] <cyberanger> I thought I saw you in #nlug once, oh well
[19:55:01] <pace_t_zulu> i have been in there before
[19:55:08] <cyberanger> linuxman410: east tennesse status
[19:55:21] <linuxman410> no status
[19:55:25] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I'll need a date & place before I can ask
[19:55:42] <cyberanger> linuxman410: no release party in east tn?
[19:56:07] <linuxman410> no do not reckon
[19:56:26] <cyberanger> I know we have intrest in knoxville (& I'd be on that list if I can get to knoxville)
[19:56:58] <cyberanger> knoxville has been using a perkins restraunt, same one klug uses
[19:57:06] <cyberanger> so I'd suggest using that
[19:57:07] <linuxman410> my problem is i work sundays
[19:57:13] <cyberanger> as do I
[19:57:18] <cyberanger> I understand
[19:57:28] <cyberanger> but it'd be good to plan one
[19:57:35] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: would you be interested in attending middle tn?
[19:58:48] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I would, same as any other, I'm foot & bus bound
[19:59:03] <cyberanger> so there is that
[19:59:23] <cyberanger> I can rent a car, but I gotta get to chattanooga for that
[19:59:28] <cyberanger> that could be doable
[19:59:39] * wrst must head out
[19:59:41] <cyberanger> I'd head to memphis if the timing was right
[19:59:45] <cyberanger> wrst: ok
[20:00:00] <cyberanger> I think were done on issues concerning you
[20:00:09] <cyberanger> since your covered with cooklug
[20:00:20] <cyberanger> hope you enjoy your night
[20:00:28] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: you don't need to go to that trouble
[20:00:43] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: I want to, question is if I can
[20:00:57] <cyberanger> next release I should have a car
[20:01:08] <cyberanger> so the issue is just work
[20:01:31] <pace_t_zulu> could you make it sunday afternoon 4-6?
[20:01:47] <cyberanger> in theroy, yeah
[20:01:53] <cyberanger> this sunday?
[20:01:56] <cyberanger> the 10th
[20:02:24] <pace_t_zulu> yea
[20:02:30] <pace_t_zulu> why not do it then
[20:02:47] <cyberanger> actually, I take that back, 10th is nogo
[20:02:49] <pace_t_zulu> i suppose we could be fancy and do it an 10 am
[20:02:51] <cyberanger> following one
[20:02:58] <cyberanger> couldn't do 10am
[20:03:38] <pace_t_zulu> well it wouldn't be as fancy on the 17 of october
[20:03:44] <cyberanger> work is 5am till 12pm EDT, plus approx 2hr drive, arrival would be 1pm CDT if everything was ontime
[20:04:31] <cyberanger> I also intend to host one in chattanooga, on behalf of southeast tn
[20:04:45] <cyberanger> chugalug willing
[20:05:39] <pace_t_zulu> so you just throw a party after the meeting?
[20:05:58] <cyberanger> well, chugalug isn't much for meetings, we meet to party
[20:06:14] <cyberanger> most are IT admins, a meeting for tech isn't their style
[20:06:39] <cyberanger> which is actually one reason working with chugalug is easy for this
[20:06:47] <cyberanger> but an installfest is all us
[20:07:38] <cyberanger> might be able to get some hands, but it's more of a pals & beer group than a football team, no goalie, all fun
[20:07:49] <cyberanger> that's the physical end
[20:08:32] <cyberanger> the list however is the most active one in tennessee (granted, I haven't been on golem since the life in it came back recently)
[20:09:09] <cyberanger> in cookville's case, idk, I'm gonna ask, it might be done that way
[20:09:18] <cyberanger> for simplicty's sake
[20:09:24] <cyberanger> west tn status
[20:09:26] <cyberanger> netritious: ^
[20:10:29] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: netritious hasn't been around
[20:10:44] <pace_t_zulu> he is 8+ hours idle
[20:10:57] <cyberanger> lemme see if jfenn2199 is on
[20:11:01] <cyberanger> xmpp that is
[20:12:32] <cyberanger> jfenn2199 is unaware, but I think netritious was planning something
[20:13:19] <cyberanger> jfenn2199: can you implement one?
[20:13:31] <cyberanger> based off a prior event
[20:13:51] <jfenn2199> I can implement one fairly quickly if netritious hasn't already planned anything
[20:14:34] <pace_t_zulu> what kind of ideas do you have jfenn2199?
[20:14:40] <cyberanger> what's your plan (I think I recall bits of what netritious said, but we'll ask before doing anything)
[20:14:56] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: btw, do not use 10th, 7 day notice
[20:15:08] <cyberanger> for the benifit of nlug, min, 7days
[20:15:11] <jfenn2199> I know notice wise
[20:15:30] <jfenn2199> well the 17th is a Sunday so that would probably be a bad day
[20:16:02] <jfenn2199> But I would need to find a public place with accessible wifi
[20:16:57] <jfenn2199> (quite a few around) post notice to GOLUM and also if our friends at Midsouth Makers if they would be so kind to speard word around there
[20:17:46] <cyberanger> jfenn2199: you've used enough places already that meet those requirements, if you could, reuse the same places
[20:18:06] <cyberanger> keeps it simple for the new members, plus word of mough
[20:18:20] <jfenn2199> yeah that's what I would look into
[20:18:39] <jfenn2199> before I make anything set in stone I do want to consult netritious to see what he's done
[20:20:42] <cyberanger> exactly
[20:20:57] <cyberanger> plus I think he has been working on it
[20:21:12] <cyberanger> just please, do hold an event
[20:21:46] <jfenn2199> either way we'll make sure it happens
[20:21:51] <cyberanger> I don't care if it's just you & netritious, we need to hold more events & it'll look good in a month & a half
[20:21:56] <cyberanger> good
[20:22:06] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: your thinking sunday?
[20:22:19] <cyberanger> is the 17th good
[20:22:23] <cyberanger> 4pm CDT?
[20:22:25] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: so far i'd be the only one there
[20:22:33] <pace_t_zulu> we can try 17th
[20:22:36] <cyberanger> mellow yellow or J&J's
[20:23:36] <cyberanger> well, I urge you to make it 7 days at least, from the announced day to the event (I'll be sending the letter to nlug, I got that covered)
[20:23:51] <pace_t_zulu> that's fine
[20:25:11] <cyberanger> linuxman410: is it ok if we setup a knoxville meeting & a chattanooga one?
[20:25:52] <linuxman410> yeah but i probably will not be able to make it
[20:27:21] <cyberanger> I haven't gotten to dates yet
[20:27:29] <cyberanger> what dates work for you
[20:28:36] <pace_t_zulu> hey guys, i gotta run
[20:28:41] <cyberanger> (I get chattanooga is far for you, but knoxville's gotta be reasonable, if the date works)
[20:28:47] <linuxman410> ok here's my thing i have a nervous condition that does not let me drive that far
[20:28:54] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: one sec
[20:29:02] <cyberanger> if you can spare a minute
[20:29:18] <cyberanger> shifting topic for a second...
[20:29:36] <cyberanger> we need some documentation for november's loco council meeting
[20:29:48] <cyberanger> if I can have every poc maintain
[20:30:08] <pace_t_zulu> what kind of documentation?
[20:30:09] <cyberanger> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TennesseeTeam/ApprovalApplication
[20:30:30] <cyberanger> amoungst others, stuff towards our approval process
[20:30:53] <cyberanger> I can't do it alone, if I'm not briefed on the whole state fully
[20:31:44] <pace_t_zulu> sure. i'd be happy to contribute
[20:33:38] <cyberanger> we need to start doing monthly progress reports, but I'll leave that for another time
[20:33:47] <cyberanger> go over that after the events
[20:33:57] <cyberanger> during a leadership meeting perhaps
[20:34:06] <cyberanger> thanks for the delay pace_t_zulu
[20:34:24] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: we have documentation going back a year or so
[20:34:28] <cyberanger> linuxman410: & jfenn2199, same request
[20:34:52] <cyberanger> but not structured per the councils format
[20:35:03] <jfenn2199> I'll see what I can work up
[20:35:15] <pace_t_zulu> ok... i gotta run
[20:35:21] <cyberanger> & the less left blank, the better, so if something was missed, plug it in
[20:35:47] <cyberanger> (we can link to our roadmap & such I suppose, but there is a format)
[20:36:24] <pace_t_zulu> cyberanger: my i excuse myself?
[20:36:48] <cyberanger> linuxman410: I'm hearing & understaing of conditions, is knoxville too far
[20:37:05] <cyberanger> pace_t_zulu: of couse
[20:37:14] <cyberanger> thanks for delaying your departure
[20:37:22] <pace_t_zulu> cheers guys
[20:37:26] <linuxman410> yes i am afraid so
[20:37:48] <cyberanger> linuxman410: so it's not date & time, but distance, sorry about that
[20:38:27] <linuxman410> yeah it is more distance than anything
[20:38:48] <cyberanger> 4 events need a week planning, give or take
[20:39:03] <cyberanger> linuxman410: how many members are in your area
[20:39:14] <linuxman410> none
[20:39:31] <linuxman410> just me
[20:39:59] <cyberanger> well, RagnarokAngel to your north, with family in knoxville
[20:40:08] <cyberanger> & his route isn't via you
[20:40:19] <cyberanger> well, unless he does it differently than me
[20:40:34] <cyberanger> or Johnson City is indeed shorter
[20:42:09] <cyberanger> linuxman410: I'll see what I can do for you, if not this release, but next one (or just a simple meet in between)
[20:42:27] <linuxman410> ok
[20:42:33] <cyberanger> idk what I'll find on that, but I will look into it
[20:43:05] <jfenn2199> well folks I'm off I'll pull the logs tomorrow to get a full account
[20:43:29] <RagnarokAngel> where are you linuxman410?
[20:43:32] <cyberanger> I need to be in the loop jfenn2199,
[20:43:54] <linuxman410> in morristown
[20:44:12] <RagnarokAngel> what day is our party going to be?
[20:44:23] <cyberanger> jfenn2199: I am working on putting theses events on the loco contact list & directory
[20:44:34] <cyberanger> thank you
[20:45:10] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: none seem to be set (I thought otherwise, didn't know that we were in this boat)
[20:45:35] <RagnarokAngel> oh dang
[20:48:31] <cyberanger> I'm on it, pace_t_zulu is on it & jfenn2199 is on it
[20:49:09] <cyberanger> & if you & linuxman410 are intrested, join in & 5 cities will have a release party this time
[20:50:52] <cyberanger> ...
[20:51:03] <linuxman410> how do you mean
[20:51:28] <cyberanger> I can't plan for Johnson City, or that region in general
[20:51:39] <cyberanger> at least to the point you two can
[20:52:12] <cyberanger> I'm used to knoxville to chattanooga, memphis to nashville to chattanooga
[20:52:20] <cyberanger> & beyond
[20:52:50] <cyberanger> but morristown is limited to the NWS in my knowledge
[20:53:07] <linuxman410> what is nws
[20:53:10] <cyberanger> if you both want to work on that city, or nearby
[20:53:21] <cyberanger> National Weather Service Morristown
[20:54:24] <cyberanger> the only time I've made a run for Morristown Directly (due to routes, it didn't make sense most other times or I had too little control over the trip)
[20:54:38] <cyberanger> was for the NWS skywarn program
[20:54:53] <cyberanger> which meant for east tn & beyond, a trip to Morristown
[20:55:13] <cyberanger> I try to be a local wherever I go
[20:55:22] <cyberanger> but I gotta go there to try
[20:57:05] <cyberanger> linuxman410: would there be a local lug in your reach
[20:57:07] <cyberanger> ?
[20:57:59] <linuxman410> no i thought about putting a ad in the trader trying to start one here
[20:59:10] <cyberanger> not in Johnson City even?
[20:59:45] <linuxman410> johnson city is still too far it is like a 2 hr drive from me
[21:02:55] <cyberanger> really, that far?
[21:03:10] <cyberanger> I thought it was the same as my morristown drive
[21:03:22] <cyberanger> & a connecting federal road
[21:03:52] <cyberanger> oh well
[21:04:11] <cyberanger> hrm
[21:04:14] <linuxman410> yeah i drove it years ago
[21:04:37] <cyberanger> I take it this is as close to solving this issue as we'll get in meeting
[21:04:50] <cyberanger> so anything else for the record
[21:04:55] <cyberanger> before I adjorn
[21:04:57] <cyberanger> ?
[21:05:52] <cyberanger> (not killing the topic, just the meeting, since all release parties need a day or two of setup still, not counting morristown
[21:06:53] <cyberanger> we have memphis, nashville, cookeville, knoxville & chattanooga, & a target to set them up asap, sunday the 17th for nashville seems likely)
[21:07:26] <cyberanger> going
[21:07:27] <cyberanger> going
[21:07:29] <cyberanger> gone
[21:07:32] <cyberanger> #endmeeting
Meeting ended.
