Started logging meeting in #ubuntu-us-tn
[19:07:52] <cyberanger> [topic] release parties
[19:08:44] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: yeah, but you got family in knoxville, klug is there & we've got enough activity there to justify overlooking the lug
[19:09:02] <RagnarokAngel> yes, yes.
[19:09:06] <cyberanger> (at least we did, maybe things have changed slightly)
[19:09:09] <RagnarokAngel> just up at school things are slower
[19:09:59] <cyberanger> anyone know if middle & west tn have anything being prepared
[19:10:28] <wrst> cyberanger: for some reason i think i heard pace_t_zulu mention something but i really don't know for sure
[19:10:45] <xTEMPLARx> not that I'm aware of. haven't heard tell of it. jfenn is the only westerner i know of
[19:10:58] <xTEMPLARx> pace is in chatt
[19:11:09] <RagnarokAngel> i have no idea
[19:11:33] <cyberanger> really, since when
[19:11:50] <xTEMPLARx> perhaps I mis-remember
[19:11:57] <RagnarokAngel> hahaha
[19:12:01] * cyberanger this is the first I heard of this, & I'm not too far away
[19:12:31] <cyberanger> release party in chattanooga is in planning
[19:12:48] <cyberanger> knoxville is in planning
[19:12:57] <cyberanger> sounds like that's all we know
[19:13:01] <RagnarokAngel> woohoo, I <3 parties!
[19:13:49] <cyberanger> agenda is "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release on April 29, 2010 "
[19:13:54] <cyberanger> that's it
[19:14:27] <cyberanger> I can close it & we'll have a 7 minute meeting, or if anyone has something to say
[19:14:42] <RagnarokAngel> What day are we planning the knox party on?
[19:14:56] <xTEMPLARx> thus far it looks like the 8th is pending
[19:15:02] <xTEMPLARx> may 8th
[19:15:05] <RagnarokAngel> ok, I'm out of school by then
[19:15:09] <cyberanger> maybe they'd like to plan a release party on their poc's behalf
[19:16:29] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: one week after chattanooga sounds like the preliminary, I have penciled in the 1st. xTEMPLARx is taking good care of knoxville, he penciled in a week after chattanooga's (& I'll try to make both)
[19:16:44] <cyberanger> wrst: would you want to head to knoxville
[19:17:14] <xTEMPLARx> RagnarokAngel: not sure if you knew but I posted something about it in the KLUG mail list.. had one bite interested in it and possibly in joining the loco :D
[19:17:21] <cyberanger> we wouldn't mind
[19:17:30] <RagnarokAngel> excellent xTEMPLARx
[19:17:44] <cyberanger> oh hang that thought xTEMPLARx
[19:17:47] * xTEMPLARx would love to have Papaw Stout down for dinner.
[19:18:04] <cyberanger> [topic] work with lugs statewide (if possible)
[19:18:33] <cyberanger> we have worked with nlug in the past for karmic's release party
[19:18:47] <cyberanger> klug has had intrest mutiple times
[19:18:56] <wrst> whoops sorry got afk for a second my schedule is pretty full right now cyberanger
[19:19:05] <wrst> if its where i could i would love to
[19:19:24] <cyberanger> wrst: well this is a month away minimum
[19:19:37] <wrst> i will do my best make no promises but would love to
[19:20:03] <cyberanger> well, we'll be there reguardless
[19:20:13] <wrst> ha ha xTEMPLARx sounds like you are making fun of my age :P
[19:20:26] <xTEMPLARx> KLUG's mailing list had some activity around an install party possibly happening soon. The idea was raised to wait for Lucid's pending release, but it was shot down by people who didn't think it wise to install a brand-new release on newbies machines
[19:20:33] <xTEMPLARx> welcome mac
[19:20:37] <mac9416> Hey, xTEMPLARx
[19:20:43] <cyberanger> wrst: do you think the lug would be intrested in working with the loco
[19:20:44] <mac9416> How are things?
[19:20:47] <cyberanger> hey mac9416
[19:20:52] <mac9416> Evening, cyberanger
[19:21:07] <cyberanger> well, that depends, do you know of any plans in west tn for a release party
[19:21:13] <wrst> i don't really know cyberanger i will try to get with my contact and see
[19:21:15] <wrst> hey mac9416
[19:21:18] <RagnarokAngel> xTEMPLARx: why is installing a brand new OS on newbies machines not a good idea?
[19:21:23] <mac9416> Hi, wrst. :-)
[19:21:27] <RagnarokAngel> I think installing slack on new users machines isn't a good idea, personally...
[19:21:41] <xTEMPLARx> RagnarokAngel: good call
[19:22:20] <xTEMPLARx> it was only one person's opinion but it didn't meet with any opposition, plus I believe they were hoping to have it scheduled well before the posted release date for lucid
[19:22:40] <RagnarokAngel> I'd love to go to an installfest
[19:22:43] <cyberanger> mac9416: what's going on out west, any release party plans
[19:23:16] <mac9416> cyberanger, I believe EricG mentioned he planned to have one, but no word for about a month.
[19:23:16] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: well, if you don't mind going to knoxville, I don't expect them to mind another pair of hands
[19:23:40] <RagnarokAngel> since I actually have a car up here this time around I'm all for heading in for an installfest
[19:24:15] <cyberanger> mac9416: understood, I'll try to get in touch with the other leaders, jump start things if I can
[19:24:38] <xTEMPLARx> RagnarokAngel: you should join the KLUG mailing list then, I'd say... Else I'll try to keep ya informed of the date.
[19:25:00] <cyberanger> xTEMPLARx: I'm also on the list
[19:25:33] <cyberanger> well, here's what I propose, since this is supposed to be a statewide meeting...
[19:27:05] <cyberanger> we have east tn with two release parties in the works, intrest in working with a lug (if not more than one)
[19:27:22] <cyberanger> & the rest I'm uninformed of
[19:27:28] <cyberanger> as is the members here
[19:28:35] <cyberanger> so why not close the meeting, if nobody has anything to add to the adgenda & reconvine in a week
[19:28:52] <mac9416> cyberanger, so there are some confirmed meetings?
[19:28:55] <cyberanger> or when a mailing list post metions one
[19:29:05] <cyberanger> mac9416: sorta confirmed
[19:29:10] <cyberanger> two in east tn
[19:29:29] <cyberanger> in the works, with no reason to suspect them to not happen
[19:29:35] <mac9416> cyberanger, OK. Whenever they're for sure going to happen, they should be added to the new LoCo directory.
[19:29:39] <mac9416> However that's done.
[19:30:06] <cyberanger> there's a release party wiki page to add that details to
[19:30:15] <cyberanger> what's the LoCo directior
[19:30:16] <cyberanger> y
[19:30:32] <mac9416> http://loco.ubuntu.com/
[19:30:37] <mac9416> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/
[19:31:13] * wrst peeks in using chakra
[19:32:04] <cyberanger> we'll have to add it to http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org too
[19:32:11] <mac9416> Right.
[19:32:13] <cyberanger> http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org
[19:32:28] <wrst> whoops sorry thought the meeting had ended :\
[19:32:32] <mac9416> MootBot, good to hear you got the link. :-P
[19:32:38] <cyberanger> we can add it to the planning stages too
[19:32:43] <mac9416> wrst, I think it's real close.
[19:32:50] <cyberanger> for the release party pages
[19:32:59] <wrst> wow mac9416 this has to be a record ;)
[19:33:08] <mac9416> :-)
[19:33:48] <cyberanger> (I mean really the only thing that's stopping knoxille from being 100% is it's being tied to chattanooga & I'm working with the lug a but more on chattanooga)
[19:34:21] <cyberanger> actually, xTEMPLARx you wanna just call it as may 8th
[19:34:26] <cyberanger> say 6pm
[19:34:53] <xTEMPLARx> sounds good to me
[19:35:14] <cyberanger> your end is more solid (chugalug for what I've seen likes playing things more spur of the moment anyhow)
[19:35:17] <cyberanger> ok
[19:35:23] <xTEMPLARx> its a saturday so travellers have time
[19:35:58] <cyberanger> exactly
[19:36:23] <cyberanger> we will never get everyone, but sat. is a bit more reasonable I think
[19:37:48] <cyberanger> [idea] Knoxville's Release Party May 8th 6pm (EDT) at Perkins, link to follow
[19:38:34] <cyberanger> http://bit.ly/aFx3sK
[19:39:21] <cyberanger> I would say that some of you have been there before, but of those present, only I have
[19:40:17] <xTEMPLARx> thankfully, Kingston Pike parallels the interstate, so its usually difficult to get lost in that part of k-town
[19:40:53] <cyberanger> but this gives binarymutant, baytes & others a chance to show too
[19:40:59] <cyberanger> xTEMPLARx: you'd be suprised
[19:41:14] <RagnarokAngel> google maps it.
[19:41:18] <cyberanger> I've directed some that way before, they somehow spun their heads
[19:41:23] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: bit.ly link
[19:41:52] <RagnarokAngel> hurray!
[19:41:55] <RagnarokAngel> someone did the heavy lifting for me
[19:42:03] <xTEMPLARx> lol
[19:42:12] <cyberanger> xTEMPLARx: granted, I took them via US 11 (up there that's kingston pike, down here that's lee highway)
[19:42:27] <xTEMPLARx> yup
[19:42:33] <xTEMPLARx> you will eventually drive by it that way
[19:42:44] <xTEMPLARx> but any unfamiliar ground seems to take forever to get anywhere
[19:42:49] <cyberanger> & they were twisted between ft. loudon dam & the icearium
[19:43:11] <xTEMPLARx> still a ways to go yet.. .:D
[19:43:22] <RagnarokAngel> oh This isn't bad at all
[19:43:27] <xTEMPLARx> nope
[19:43:41] <xTEMPLARx> close to the cedar bluff exit off off 40/75
[19:43:44] <cyberanger> their issue was in between they thought they turned when it was the same road
[19:45:04] <cyberanger> xTEMPLARx: I know, I've been there before, the issue was we never hit the interstate, got sepreated in traffic & around city limits of farragut & lenior city, thy thought that curve was a new road & stopped
[19:45:28] <xTEMPLARx> cyberanger that bit of info was more for rag... sorry shoulda said :D
[19:45:40] <cyberanger> ah
[19:45:41] <cyberanger> lol
[19:45:58] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: you know the town better than they did too
[19:46:02] <cyberanger> that'll help
[19:46:44] <cyberanger> well, wrst, that's the info for the first confirmed release party, 100mi east of ya, if you wish to go
[19:46:50] <cyberanger> wrst: ^^
[19:47:09] <cyberanger> anything else for the meeting?
[19:47:09] <wrst> shall try to make it cyberanger
[19:47:34] <cyberanger> wrst: if you can't you can't, but just thought you'd like to know
[19:47:46] <wrst> much appreicated
[19:47:52] <wrst> or appreciated even
[19:47:57] <wrst> or however its spelled :\
[19:48:10] <cyberanger> since atm idk about middle tn & west tn (I'll try to find out though)
[19:48:52] <cyberanger> it's spelled "spellcheck" but to me it's tomAto or TomaTO
[19:49:13] <wrst> hmm don't know if quassel has spell check... does irssi? :P
[19:49:32] * cyberanger thinks wrst missed the point
[19:49:48] <wrst> ha ha yeah i think i did until i re-read that cyberanger
[19:49:52] * wrst misses many things :)
[19:50:09] <cyberanger> ok, well, I assume there's nothing else for tonight
[19:50:23] <wrst> sorry cyberanger i think i've driven the meeting toa tangent
[19:51:00] <xTEMPLARx> :)
[19:51:10] <cyberanger> so offically I will close mootbot & request for everyone to try & keep an eye for more meetings this month (announced via topic & mailing list)
