This is the 4th meeting of the Iowa Team, starting at 20:05 CST and finishing at 21:35 CST Attendance Please type PRESENT when the meeting starts to indicate who is online and paying attention. Active Attendees: linuxuser21 Bynw KWierso godbyk gringochapin jimericksonCedarRapids1 IowanAtomicSpark F0oAgenda When adding agenda items please "sign" them, place @SIG@ after each of your items.If you won't be in attendance, please describe your item and wishes in detail otherwise those items may not be effectively discussed. Global Jam locations @Iowan@ I will be late/absent.Minutes Chat was almost entirely about where we're holding the Global Jam event(s). Global Jam Emergency IRC Chat scheduled for Tuesday, March 16th at 20:00 CST to hopefully get a location or two finalized. (Or at least discuss any newer conversations with the various schools...) Gringochapin (Or maybe AtomicSpark) plans to contact Kirkwood CC in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids to see if we could meet there as a fallback. Send the finalized plans out on the mailing list as soon as we can. We might be able to do some sort of Translation Jam, depending on who attends.Iowa City Region Gringochapin is waiting on a reply from UIa's ACM organization about whether they'll officially host the event. If they host, the room is free. If they don't host, it will cost $150 for the day. We have a few people that said they'd be willing to help contribute the money for the $150, but it'd be nice to have the room for free. Tentative hold on the room for Sunday will stay until sometime next week. Reserved time would probably start around noon on Sunday. Doubt we'll have many show up before then. It can run as long as there is demand for it. Outside food/drinks are not allowed in the room. We'd either have to pay for catering, or buy and eat at the cafeteria. Des Moines Region A number of people would prefer to meet in Des Moines instead of Iowa City, due to driving distances. KWierso still needs to contact Simpson College's Evening/Weekend program about using one of their metro campuses for a Des Moines/Ankeny Jam. If we do host an event in Iowa City on Sunday, we should try for a Des Moines event on Saturday, to give as many people an opportunity to attend as possible. Simultaneous events would still be acceptable. (That's why we have IRC.) Any Other Business Should we try to acquire some old/cheap computers to use at the Jam for running Hardware Profiles and/or testing installation/upgrade? Guide Lines The meeting moderator will ensure key points are discussed. Key points from the Agenda will be noted by [TOPIC] Agenda item.

Please see MootBot for details on specific tags. IRC LOGS [20:05] Hi all. Do we have someone to run the meeting? Iowan said he'd be late/absent [20:08] So, do we have enough people present to hold a meeting? Present present too sorta [20:09] PRESENT, for record-keeping purposes :) What's happening? I'm present, I s'pose. [20:10] Anyone wanna' volunteer to run the meeting, or should we just keep it informal? I'm fine with either. [20:12] I guess I can run it for now. No guarantee I won't get called away from the computer for prolonged periods of time, though. Sounds good. Go for it. And thanks. Fine with me [20:13] It's IRC, you're allowed to multitask. Retroactively starting this meeting at 8:05 So, uh, there's only one item officially on the agenda for tonight and the guy who added it isn't here (yet) Global Jam locations [20:14] I've done some research on that, though don't know if anyone has as well. present I sent an email to the mailing list about what I found out. If I read it right, it looks like the University of Iowa has a room available on sunday [20:15] costs $150 no matter how long we're there That's correct. Is there any reason we shouldn't do it on that date. It's available all day. Correct, though if we can get the ACM to host, we can use it for free. [20:16] I don't have any money to contribute to the "pay UofI $150" fund it'll be a miracle if I have enough money for gas to make the trip over and back [20:17] So that's really two questions: Is holding it on Sunday the 28th ok with everyone, and if the ACM doesn't come through for us, do we want to try and come up with the $150, or try and find another location? [20:18] I still need to contact the Simpson College evening/weekend program to see how much it'd cost to use one of their facilities in the DM area I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow [20:19] I don't really have any objections to having it on sunday but then again, I probably can't make a trip to Iowa City [20:20] Understandable. Does anyone else have anythoughts on the date or cost? what would be involved in getting ACM to sponsor the meeting? [20:21] I have sent them an email, they emailed me back early this week, I replied with further details, and I haven't heard from them sense. [20:22] -->| CedarRapids1 (~42d300a9@gateway/web/freenode/x-aimkoeejlquxntxt) has joined #ubuntu-us-ia I am willing to donate to getting the room, but I just don't know if it makes sense for such a small group, and I certainly can't carry it all. [20:23] But they sounded very interested in their first email, so hopefully it's just a lack of time rather than a lack of interest. i can donate to getting a room but can't make the trip [20:24] Since we're running short on time, if I can get in touch with the Simpson people, and if it turns out to be cheaper than UofI (assuming ACM doesn't sponsor), should we try to schedule an emergency meeting earlier than next thursday to discuss? I think that's a good idea. We are running out of time on this. [20:25] What would be sweet is holding them on different days, so those who can and want can go to both. |.> Present [20:48] cedarrapids1_, that shouldn't be too hard to do Yeah, I'm sure it will be all over the list. hopefully we can talk to people tomorrow so we can discuss over email over the weekend Thanks Iowan: I can send you the log. || F0o ([email protected]) has joined #ubuntu-us-ia Can we count F0o as present? Afterall, I don't think we actually officially terminated the meeting. :) [21:11] :) F0o: Later than I was - so whatever I volunteered for is now yours... gringochapin: lookin out for me preciate it Iowan: im guessing it involved buying pizza dunno - I just deliver... [21:12] after I get the bolt out of my tire... lol Iowan: thought you werent going to be here [21:13] I said "late or absent" ended up as "late" So, the only thing that was decided was that we will definitively reserve the room at the UI if the ACM agrees to host, and if so, the event will start Noon Sunday the 28th. I believe so other than that, we're still just talking to other places [21:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/IowaTeam/20100316 for what it's worth Yep. And once we nail this down definitively, we're going to need to market like crazy, because it's going to be short notice. [21:15] Next year, let's start in January. :) My old prof at Simpson said he would be interested in promoting the Jam with his students just need a time/place [21:16] Sweet. My Computer Security and Oporating Systems prof said the same. Oh yeah, does anyone here use PGP and wanna' do an informal signing? [21:17] At the event? linuxuser21, you still here? did you make it to that "How to Run a Translation Jam" session? Or am I the only crypto-nerd? :) Well I probably have the backing of kirkwood's "computer club" No, it ended up being a really late night and I didn 't wake up in time [21:18] gringochapin: i think your the only crypto at this point AtomicSpark: Will they host us? Can you find out if they can get us a room there? F0O: Sounds like it. :) Ah well. I doubt we would be doing translations anyway. I'm barely mediocre with Spanish I'm becoming quite good with German though. [21:19] KWierso: I can bring my wife along. She is fluent. She was born and raised in Guatemala. :) Still not the greatest though gringochapin: i'll contact the it department head tomorrow. [21:20] here's the translation session log: http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/2010/03/05/%23ubuntu-locoteams.html AtomicSpark: Great! Then I won't bother, as I was planning on calling them, but it sounds like you would have more contacts there than I. [21:24] so... we pretty much done for now? [21:25] I was reading about other Linux groups the other day, and the sorts of things they do, and one of them is taking old surplus computers and computer parts, putting them together, installing Linux and some good software, and giving them away to poor kids who don't own a 'puter. That would be awesome if we could get into doing that, though it would be a lot of work, so I think we would need to be a little bigger than we are to pull it off. Still, that would be awesome. [21:26] we could try putting out feelers with our various schools to see what they do with old computers when they upgrade I'm done. I'm just chatting to no one/everyone. [21:27] Yeah, because building the computers isn't the big deal, it's tech support that I'm worried about. Typically, they talk to the teachers to find out who the smart kids are, and they generally give them to kids in the higher elementary grades or older, so they can usually figure stuff out on their own, but it still might become an issue. [21:28] And I don't think it would be hard to get machines donated. I know companies that throw out old computers all the time. They're old, but not that old, and still perfectly fine to put Linux on. There is a forum with GREAT tech support - but you gotta be able to get there. [21:29] Exactly. Some groups have even managed to get some of the local ISPs to donate free internet. Great for PR anyway. [21:30] I'm hoping Lucid solves some (most... all?) of Karmics woes - but I think htat with every release if/when we do get a spot at UIa, maybe we could get some old computers to try installing Lucid on generate some hardware profiles [21:31] I have some - RAM is biggest limitation because unless I win $$$ and can buy a laptop, I'm not particularly inclined to drag my desktop all the way down to Iowa City or Des Moines For sure. I've got an old machine sitting by my desk. All it needs is a new hard drive. I think it's a 1.6GHZ single core, 2GB or maybe only 1 of RAM. But we should be able to get a HW profile off it no prob. [21:32] Minus the HD of course. :) Mine ore 128-256 M... one laptop has 32M (not planning Ubuntu for that one) *are [21:33] did we ever officially end the meeting? [21:34] not to my knowledge - who's running tonight's meeting? I started it Then you can end it ;) okay [21:35] any new business? going once.... going twice.... SOLD... uh... 100 pizzas, bought by Iowan for delivery to the Jam! Meeting offically closed :) |
