[19:16:03] <Kurisu_Yamato> I'm still here, ready and waiting
[19:16:13] <jfenn2199> Yep!
[19:16:50] <elijah-mbp> yep
[19:18:04] <pace_t_zulu> 5 of us here...
[19:18:10] <pace_t_zulu> better turnout than usual
[19:18:30] <pace_t_zulu> anyone have a topic they'd like to discuss?
[19:18:33] <Kurisu_Yamato> Well I actually had an early shift at work, so I was able to show up, for once.
[19:18:55] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: glad you could join
[19:18:58] <jfenn2199> So when is the date this month for the loco council?
[19:19:17] <pace_t_zulu> jfenn2199: i was under the impression that it was last month
[19:19:46] <jfenn2199> I talked to cyberanger and he said that we postponed it to this month
[19:19:57] <pace_t_zulu> i didn't get that memo

[19:24:32] <pace_t_zulu> anyone out there?
[19:24:53] <Svpernova09> yeah, was reading first link
[19:25:02] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: :)
[19:25:21] <Kurisu_Yamato> Yeah, I read it as well.
[19:25:31] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09 Kurisu_Yamato +1
[19:25:58] <pace_t_zulu> [idea]add our team logo to the approval application
[19:26:20] <Kurisu_Yamato> Due to my lack of transportation, I can be at very few, if any events (havnt been to a GOLUM meeting ever, tho I want to, and its not even that far away). Well, that and my work schedule, but I am very active in places I physically am, to try to show off Ubuntu, and Linux as a whole, to anyone who may have use for it.
[19:26:30] <pace_t_zulu> as per http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/2010/12/03/%23ubuntu-us-tn.html
[19:26:57] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: where is that place? ... that you are physically
[19:27:04] <Kurisu_Yamato> Memphis
[19:28:33] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: that's the best place to be in the state right now so far as the loco goes
[19:28:42] <pace_t_zulu> anyone else here in nashville
[19:29:03] <Kurisu_Yamato> Yeah, so I have noticed. I only live maybe 3-4 miles away from where the GOLUM meetings are, but I just can never get there.
[19:29:17] <Svpernova09> Has anyone from the loco contacted HackerConsortium about getting involved? HC is Nashville's hackerspace
[19:29:36] <Svpernova09> from the loco in Nashville*
[19:29:43] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: i am unfamiliar with hackerconsortium
[19:29:53] <Svpernova09> oh snap
[19:30:03] <pace_t_zulu> i will definitely look into that...
[19:30:07] <Svpernova09> http://www.hackerconsortium.com/
[19:30:20] <Svpernova09> #hackerconsortium here on Freenode
[19:30:28] <pace_t_zulu> [link]http://www.hackerconsortium.com/location.php
[19:31:42] <Svpernova09> I think the people involved with GOLUM are pretty well aware of this group as well
[19:31:56] <Svpernova09> Dan9186[MM] and I have also talked about this group at MidsothMakers meetings
[19:32:08] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: big thank you for that
[19:32:19] <Svpernova09> Since a large part of MM seem to be tech / geek types that are either already involved with linux, or interested in it
[19:32:33] <Svpernova09> We've done the same in the memphis 2600 meetings, which lately are largely just the MM group.
[19:33:46] <Svpernova09> There is also discussion on the GOLUM list about a possible installfest
[19:34:02] <Svpernova09> When that comes around I plan to try to show off my proxmox machine running multiple ubuntu VMs
[19:36:00] <pace_t_zulu> MM?
[19:36:13] <Svpernova09> midsouthmakers, the memphis group establishing a hackerspace here
[19:36:32] <Kurisu_Yamato> This is the first I have heard of many of these groups. Haha.
[19:36:43] <Svpernova09> www.midsouthmakers.org
[19:36:47] <Svpernova09> www.golum.org
[19:36:56] <netritious> I'm here for literally 60 secs...got something boiling on the stove
[19:37:11] <Kurisu_Yamato> Ah, don't worry, I was able to find the sites easily, google is always your friend, after all.
[19:37:12] <Svpernova09> o/ netritious
[19:37:18] <Kurisu_Yamato> But I do appreciate the linkage.
[19:45:22] <pace_t_zulu> Svpernova09: really good job bringing that up
[19:46:10] <Kurisu_Yamato> So,random topic of interest, due to windows just refusing to re-install properly on my girlfriends laptop, she has switched to Ubuntu, and for a few months now has had nothing but good experiences, while the rest of her family is re-installing windows every few months because someone messes up the machines. Her only problem is she cannot run a game I make, because it is currently windows only.
[19:46:33] <Svpernova09> nice
[19:47:53] <Kurisu_Yamato> As for me, while yes, I am on my windows machine now, I do have a dedicated linux box, as well as a netbook that dual boots between 10.10 and winXP. Also a near-dead laptop I keep plugged in running 10.4 for special purposes (usually data processing at home, etc). Just setting the tone on my end.
[19:47:56] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: +1
[19:48:02] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: what game are you making?
[19:49:05] <Kurisu_Yamato> I have a custom game based on the Stepmania game engine (basically, it's a dance game ala DDR) : while that does have linux branches, and is open source, I currently have not been able to get my source to compile in Linux, but in all fairness, I haven't really tried too hard.
[19:50:13] <Kurisu_Yamato> Gaming would be my main hobby, so yeah...
[19:52:26] <pace_t_zulu> Kurisu_Yamato: is your game open source?
[19:53:55] <Kurisu_Yamato> My branch is not: however, I have shared my code mods with other groups on their own branches, but my full source in and of itself is closed. It is due to my release model in this particular instance: I do have another branch in the works that would be just the engine itself, without some security code, for public release.
[19:54:57] <pace_t_zulu> next loco council meeting is December 21st
[19:55:09] <pace_t_zulu> [topic]next loco council meeting is December 21st
[19:57:58] <pace_t_zulu> anyone have anything else they'd like to discuss?
[19:58:28] <Svpernova09> not I

[19:58:41] <pace_t_zulu> i motion to adjourn
[19:58:57] <pace_t_zulu> anyone second that motion?
