Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] From Southern California--place to stay.
Just to clarify - George was one of our awesome booth volunteers from SCaLE12x this year and he's coming up for the San Francisco release party (and bringing a laptop for demos!) so he's looking for a place to stay Thursday night. Normally I'd offer space on my couch, but I've got a bit too much going on right now.

Hi everyone, So far I've committed to hauling over 3 laptops and a tablet with the latest release, and Grant is bringing along his tablet as well. Does anyone else have laptops (or tablets, phones running Ubuntu) that they could bring along to this event as demo machines for attendees?

Happy release day, my California friends! If you're in/around San Francisco this evening we'll be having a release party at 7PM Details: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2583-san-francisco-saucy-salamander-release-party/ -- Forwarded message -- From: Adam Conrad adcon...@ubuntu.com Date: Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 6:13 AM Subject: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) released To: ubuntu-annou...@lists.ubuntu.com The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 13.10 for Desktop, Server, Cloud, Phone, and Core products. Codenamed Saucy Salamander, 13.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs. Ubuntu 13.10 introduces the first release of Ubuntu for phones and Ubuntu Core for the new 64-bit ARM systems (the arm64 architecture, also known as AArch64 or ARMv8), and improved AppArmor confinement. In addition to these flagship features there are also major updates throughout. Ubuntu Server 13.10 includes the Havana release of OpenStack, alongside deployment and management tools that save devops teams time when deploying distributed applications - whether on private clouds, public clouds, x86 or ARM servers, or on developer laptops. Several key server technologies, from MAAS to Ceph, have been updated to new upstream versions with a variety of new features.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: [BALUG-Announce] REMINDER BALUG TOMORROW Tu 2013-10-15: Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph: Code Review for Systems Administrators; other BALUG News
Hi everyone, I don't usually forward announcements for BALUG meetings since I assume folks who are in San Francisco and interested are subscribed to their announce list, but since I've had a lot of chats lately with team members about OpenStack and how we manage our fleet of Ubuntu servers that runs the OpenStack infrastructure I figured I'd pass this along.

The OpenStack Infrastructure team not only manages this system using all open source tools, like Gerrit and Jenkins for review and testing, but also uses the system themselves for reviewing and testing changes being made to systems running the infrastructure itself. Puppet configuration files, Python scripts and more are subjected to automated syntax tests and then collaboratively reviewed in public by community and core team members alike before approval. This talk will give you a walk through of the actual software used to accomplish this and how this process has allowed the team to have a considerably open, collaborative approach to systems administration for the project infrastructure. Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph is an Automation and Tools Engineer at HP[2] working on the OpenStack Infrastructure[3] team. She is also a member of the Ubuntu Community Council[4] and on the Board of Directors for Partimus[5], a non-profit in the San Francisco Bay Area providing Linux-based computers to schools in need. 1. http://www.princessleia.com/ 2. http://www.hp.com/ 3. http://ci.openstack.org/ 4. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil 5. http://partimus.org/ So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: r...@balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] We now have an Ubuntu Banner and Tablecloth for SoCal AND NorCal
Hi everyone, Ever since receiving the Ubuntu tablecloth and banner from Canonical a couple years ago we've been shipping it between northern and southern California for events. This was starting to get expensive (community members were paying for this out of their own pocket) and was always logistically troublesome (getting it shipped on time, etc). When funding for Community, Upstreams, and Flavors was announced by Canonical in June[0] I immediately thought of this and put in a request for a 2nd banner and tablecloth for the team. I received a banner and tablecloth today! I'll be keeping this one here in Northern California for events we do up here. Phliip Ballew currently has the banner and tablecloth for Southern California and so he'll be the one to contact if you are organizing something down there.

Hi everyone, Larry Cafiero of FeltonLUG (just north of Santa Cruz) has asked me if I knew of anyone who could come down to their LUG and present on Ubuntu 13.04 next Sunday, July 14th. I presented for them last year and they're a great group of folks, it was a fun and interactive presentation. Plus it gave me the opportunity to sneak in a roller coaster that evening in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately my speaking schedule these next few weeks is busy so I'm unable to do it this time. Is there anyone else on list who can make it down? Or do you know of someone?

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] ubuntu hour placard ... license?; ... CD sleeves (8.5x11 fold up)
On Sun, Jul 7, 2013 at 10:12 AM, Michael Paoli michael.pa...@cal.berkeley.edu wrote: What license(s) would you want added that would be most appropriate? Keep in mind *most* of the content is Copyright and/or Trademark by Canonical. I didn't add all that much to it - but still, ought to have suitable compatible license to cover that. Since it's more creative than code, I'd suggest a creative commons license, with a preference for CC BY-SA http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/ With the comments that you don't need to give attribution. I notice you already included Trademark comments in the README so we're set there for Canonical's assets. Also, probably would be good to also have that information in the placard svg file itself - in reasonably readable form, but that wouldn't print out by default. Any particularly good ideas how to do that? (E.g. layer(s) of text not visible by default - or is there some better/best practice on how to do that for Inkscape svg file?) Hopefully someone else can chime in here, I don't know! And yes, CD/DVD sleeves - I've also done some stuff on that - should put that up somewhere too - but git or the like may be more suitable, as I foresee a lot more forking there. :-) I've been meaning to add fold lines to one of your more recent revisions, but the first step is digging through email to find the latest ones - putting them *somewhere* in revision control would be good :) If you put them on a public git repo I can copy California-specific ones to our bzr (just so we have all our assets in one easily accessible spot). And that reminds me that the sleeves don't have an obvious license either. I'll contact contributors to that and sort it out.

Hi everyone, Canonical won't be shipping out (or producing, it seems) non-LTS DVDs anymore. As a result, we'll be getting LTS release DVDs when requests are made for conferences (and presumably when it's released). More details below. -- Forwarded message -- From: Laura Czajkowski la...@lczajkowski.com Date: Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 10:22 AM Subject: DVD news To: Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com Aloha folks, A number of people have been asking for an update on the 13.04 DVD allocation, the LoCo Council contacted Canonical to see what was happening this cycle. Below is the mail we were asked to share with people from Canonical. Hi all, This is just to let you know that going forward, Canonical will not be producing DVDs for standard releases.We understand that to convert interested experimenters to Ubuntu users we need to provide and outstanding initial user-experience, and the ability for the user to explore and learn in safety with a supporting network of experts around them. The LoCo teams are a key to that second part as you provide a personal experience that's local to the user. While we love users to be on the latest version of Ubuntu, the key thing for new users is a known, stable and supported environment. So to make sure we provide that we'll be shipping you the LTS release CDs rather than the latest standard release. Therefore, there won't be DVDs for 13.04 as going forward our focus will be on LTS releases. The next production of DVDs will be 14.04. To bridge the gap till 14.04,we will continue to supply 12.04 DVDs for events. You can request DVDs for events through Shipit as normal.[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences] Thank you for your continued and valuable support in making Ubuntu great.

It's set up to get people working world-wide on important parts of the Ubuntu project together in one room so they can discuss and decide the focus for their work for the upcoming development cycle. Right. While there is a community track, even this track is focused on giving action items which lead to producing results and material and isn't going to be valuable or interesting to your standard Ubuntu *user* who is not interested in contributing, let alone someone who only has a passing interest in technology on a policy level. Inviting large numbers of non-developers who have no prior knowledge or experience with Ubuntu or Free Software to anything other than the keynote would seem to be unproductive, unsatisfying, and subversive to the goals of UDS. I agree, but you do mention anything other than the keynote which is where I think we may have an in here. Ubuntu is a major player on the Internet today, and the existence of the summit in California again is something that's exciting and important, but as Peter points out, actually inviting them to the summit to attend the workshop sessions about SELinux implementation or whatnot would be useless. If I wanted to risk hurting UDS anyway, I would at least come up with a consensus of what UDS might mean to California lawmakers before starting a letter writing campaign. So say we're just inviting some people to the first 2 hours of the summit to see the keynote, I don't think this would be harmful to UDS. But it would require volunteers to properly receive them, it would be a mess to have people spend valuable time and be completely lost. And I think coming up with a consensus as to the value of UDS is essential. Grant - perhaps the team you put together can work on this value document in a broad sense? Even if it's not used for UDS I could see the team leveraging such a document about having active Ubuntu presence in California for other things, including user-focused conferences and involvements with groups like opensourceforamerica.org that Jason mentioned. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: Ubuntu Advocacy Development Kit
I haven't had a chance to look at it myself yet (I'm traveling this week), but Jono and his team launched a new Ubuntu Advocacy Development Kit for LoCo Teams that is worth checking out if you're running Ubuntu events or presentations. Details about the project, how to install it and how contribute to it below. -- Forwarded message -- From: Jono Bacon j...@ubuntu.com Date: Sat, Dec 15, 2012 at 6:18 PM Subject: Ubuntu Advocacy Development Kit To: Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com Hi Everyone! Recently I have been working on a project called the Ubuntu Advocacy Development Kit (ADK). This is simple: to provide a package that contains all the documentation and materials (e.g. logos, cover art, posters, and presentations) that you need to get out and spread the word about Ubuntu. The ADK is now available in a PPA. To install it just paste the following in a terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-adk-admins/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-adk-en When the package has been installed you can then find 'Ubuntu Advocacy Development Kit' in the dash. enjoy! The goal of the ADK is to provide as much guidance and content as possible to make spreading the word about Ubuntu as simple and effective as possible. If you feel like some content is missing, or find errors in the existing content, please file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-adk/+filebug Thanks!

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: DVDs For LoCo Teams
Hi everyone, Just a quick heads up to say I've put in this request. I'm taking care of distribution again this time around, I'll be able to start shipping them out once they arrive, but the release is still a week away, then they need to be printed, shipped overseas... If you would like some DVDs, please contact me at lyz at ubuntu.com with your name, address and purpose for request (Need some for your school or library? Handing out at a small event?). If you are in the same area as someone else in the team who needs CDs please try to request them together as I'm paying for these shipping costs out of pocket and it's cheaper to send larger packages than several small ones. This is the only shipment the team gets per cycle, so please don't waste these DVDs and request only a limited number to suit your needs! Follow these tips to help stretch our supply: 1. At tech events, inform (maybe hand out cards with instructions?) users that they can download and burn an ISO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto 2. Burn ISOs as they wait! Bring along some blank DVDs and a system that can burn a DVD at the event and give them a fresh copy 3. For handing out at other events, use the pressed DVDs as display copies and use our CD sleeves for burned copies: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/CDSleeves 4. For installs and demos at events, try using a USB stick NOTE: For larger conferences please contact me with details so we can request an https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences conference pack plus DVDs AT LEAST 6 weeks prior to the event. I will update information to the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/QuantalRelease once I start shipping them so everyone will be able to keep track of the number of DVDs still available. -- Forwarded message -- From: Jono Bacon j...@ubuntu.com Date: Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 6:13 PM Subject: DVDs For LoCo Teams To: Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com Hi All, Just a quick note that approved teams can find out how to order your Ubuntu 12.10 DVDs at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingCds.

Hi everyone, We do annual leadership elections to decide who will lead us in the coming year, and it's that time of year again! Right now we need a short-term volunteer to put the effort into running the election, from determining the precise timeframe, setting up the wiki page and doing the call (and encouragement!) for nominations to eventually setting up the poll in Launchpad for the team. Leadership details (and links to applications in our past years) can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership You can also look in the mailing list archives for past years to see how these have been handled. Note: I'd be happy to work with anyone interested in running this to get them started, but as mentioned at the meeting on Sunday[0] I'm going to be out of the country with limited access to the Internet for a month starting on October 10th.

Hi everyone, I'm very happy to announce that Wikimedia has offered space in their offices on New Montgomery St in downtown San Francisco for our Ubuntu Global Jam event on Saturday the 8th! Date: Saturday, September 8, 2012 Time: Noon - 4PM Location: Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., 149 New Montgomery St, Floor 3, San Francisco, CA 94105 Cost: Free (I'll be paying for the food out of pocket) For this event we will be focusing on ISO testing. What is ISO testing? Disk images for the upcoming Ubuntu release, 12.10, need to be tested throughout the development cycle and bugs filed. You can do LiveCD tests, install tests on hardware, install tests in virtual machines and application testing. In the first hour or so we will teach you how to run the tests and then how to report the bugs. I'll bring some testing handouts, copies of the latest working versions of the images on DVDs and USB sticks, a spindle of blank DVDs and the iso files themselves in case we need more. If you wish to do testing, you will need to bring a laptop which can boot from DVD or USB and do one or all of the following: LiveCD testing, test installs on the laptop hardware itself or tests on virtual machines. If you don't want to do testing at the event itself or don't have a laptop you can bring, you're welcome to join us to just learn about the tools used for testing and eat some pizza. RSVP here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1918/detail/ If you have trouble logging in to RSVP (or don't have/want a Launchpad account) please just let me know you're coming so I can give the folks at Wikimedia an accurate attendee count prior to the event. We will be ordering cheese, veggie and meat pizzas to arrive around 1:30, so please let me know if you have any further dietary restrictions/preferences.

Hi everyone, A few days back I forwarded on the announcement for the upcoming Global Jam September 7-9th[0] I'm still working to get a location to the one in San Francisco on Saturday the 8th (I'm in touch with one company now), but I'll post details once I have them. We'll be doing a QA-focused jam, so testing ISOs and applications for the 12.10 release in virtual machines, I've even contacted[1] the QA team to see how I can improve the set of materials I'll be bringing along for this event. Finally, I've set up a wiki page for this project so if other areas are doing Jams as well, they can all be listed on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/QuantalGlobalJam The Ubuntu Global Jam wiki[2] is pretty good for looking for ideas for a Jam, and we've also held ones in the past which were fairly unstructured and people could just come and hack on whatever they wanted (last cycle we even had a random coffee-shop meetup during jam weekend where a couple of us worked on packages and bug fixes). Questions about running such an event are always welcome.

This is a bit last minute, but if folks are available tomorrow to help out over at CACS in San Francisco they can always use the help :) -- Forwarded message -- From: Christian Einfeldt einfe...@gmail.com Date: Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 5:16 PM Subject: Pizza, Networking and installing Linux at Creative Arts Charter School To: sf-lug sf-...@linuxmafia.com Hi, The school year is starting at the Creative Arts Charter School, a public charter school in SF, and so we (Partimus volunteers) will be working there tomorrow, Saturday, August 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 pm, at 1601 Turk Street at Pierce Street to take the first steps toward assessing the network with an eye toward installing wifi and Linux on the notebook computers that arrived recently: http://blog.partimus.org/?p=357 Our goal for tomorrow is to look at the network; assess it for wifi; assess whether we can put a server in the telco closet for a variety of services; and then potential mass installation of Linux onto the notebook computers. If we are not able to mass install Linux on the notebooks, then we might have to just take as shot at installing Linux individually on as many of the computers as possible. The kids start school on Monday, so we are going to try to get as far as we can tomorrow. If we only take a few baby steps, that is fine. Please bring with you copies of Ubuntu 12.04 on USB sticks and CDs, in case we need to manually install it. Please also bring cable testers, screw drivers, pliers, and anything else that you would need to get into notebook or desktop computers, triage them, and fix them. If you have any spare wifi routers to donate, that would also be a plus. Our other goal is to have our special yummy pizza at 1:00 pm. If you would like to help, please come to the corner of Turk and Pierce, and call me or text me at 415-351-1300 as the school is quite large. If I don't respond right away, please understand that there might be other people who are calling me or texting me at the same time, and I will get to each of you as soon as I can. Any re-tweets, re-dents, and re-posting of this email is appreciated.

As many of you know my life has been going through some major changes and one of the changes is that I am relocating to the state of Indiana. Because of this change it is only fair and right that I step down from my position in the US-CA team and allow someone that will be living in the state to help out and be a part of the team. The ride I have had in the team has taught me a lot and I am not vanishing completely. You all have become a part of my family and for everything everyone has done, thank you. I have already been in contact with the US-IN team and will be continuing my work with Ubuntu Loco teams in Indiana when I move there. I will be in Southern California until friday morning when I fly out. Thanks for your work on the team! It's been great working with you. We've had some discussions in channel and it was generally agreed that we should just let your term run out since it ends in October anyway.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: computer work at a public school this Saturday
Forwarding this along, the Partimus.org crew will be over at KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy this Saturday, July 28, from 1 pm to 4 pm helping them install some computers for one of their math classes.
