[Ubuntu-US-CA] San Diego Ubuntu Hour April 4/19
Hey all, This month, the San Diego Ubuntu Hour will be held near the UCSD campus in La Jolla! I'm hoping to attract some new faces, so we will be hosting it at Starbucks, 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, La Jollahttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=qsource=s_qhl=engeocode=q=starbucksaq=sll=32.86854,-117.233863sspn=0.012544,0.027874ie=UTF8hq=starbuckshnear=ll=32.864773,-117.231653spn=0.006308,0.013937z=17 on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011, 7-9pm. As always, rsvp is appreciated: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/852/detail/ Its within walking distance of UCSD, and it is adjacent to the 5. The La Jolla Village Shopping Center has plenty of parking, and I-5 should have drained its rush hour traffic out by 7pm. I'm printing up fliers to post around the area this week to let people know. I've also been trying to network with the San Diego LUG, and various other tech groups I've heard about this month. Cheers!

The Panera Bread building is a free-standing structure from the actual mall, right next to the huge NBC building. (I'm Ron Burgundy?) It is right next to where they set up the ice skating rink for Christmas, by the actual Plaza. Panera Bread has a lot of space and internet access. Come discuss and network with other Ubuntu fans! I know what you're thinking, Downtown?! the traffic! the parking! Its ok, calm down :) 1. Its at Horton Plaza so the parking in the adjoining Horton Plaza parking structure isfree for 3 hours, when you get your ticket validated in the mall. 2. Its 7pm on a Tuesday, so its not like the Gaslamp Quarter is out in full force 3. Its well past rush hour, traffic should be manageable! Hope to see you there!

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] San Diego Ubuntu Hour! All Interested San Diegans Ping Me Back!
Alright everyone, let's just be decisive! We will meet at: Starbucks *1221 Rosecrans* St. San Diego, CA 92106 10:30am Sat 10/30/2010 * Look for the table with the Ubuntu sign, and i'll also be wearing a /white hoodie with an Ubuntu logo on it/ I'll get there at about 10:00 to stake out a table or two. From the email chain here, I'm anticipating 4-6 people to show up, so one or two tables should be good enough. This location does have wifi, so you can bring a computer if you want. I don't own a laptop, so I'll probably just hang out there for a while. There's no real topics for this meeting, just a general meet and greet, basic organization stuff maybe, a little bit of hacking if you're inclined. Personally, I'll stay for about 45m-1h, but you're welcome to stay there as long as you like.

I'm flying home from UDS on Saturday the 30th however, after that I would love to be a major part of it! There has been some cool ideas down here about things to do at Ubuntu Hour that I will be sharing with the LoCo once I get everything condensed into a manageable read.

Hey all, Nice to get some feedback. I've already heard back from 3 or 4 interested people. Never having been to a California Ubuntu Hour before, I'm not sure what they are typically like. My idea here is to have a meeting, once a month, where anyone interested in Ubuntu or any of its various subsystems can attend to see if they can learn more about it. I'm a driver developer by day, so I tend to see Ubuntu as more of a sum of parts, and would want this meeting to be open to anyone interested in Ubuntu or its constituent parts. Some group use scenarios: 1. Fledgling coder comes in for help with getting started with C coding for oss project 2. Small business owner comes in to talk about whether Ubuntu can be used in lieu of Windows 3. Coder comes looking for extra manpower to help with his pet Gnome-based Python project 4. Coder comes in looking to learn how to make debian packages 5. Interested person comes in to learn how to triage through bugs on Launchpad Some of the above-mentioned points are directly related to Ubuntu (like #2 or #5), but #1, #3 would help out the greater OSS community, and #4 would help Ubuntu indirectly via the debian community. After talking to Flannel (and getting very lost downtown this weekend) I'd agree that Mission/Fashion Valley would be a good place to hold meetings. Its somewhat central, plenty of parking, and a lot of freeways lead there. Suggestions/advice still welcome. I'll attend the next IRC meeting to advocate this idea further.

Well, the 5 points Kevin listed seem like what I had in mind. #3 and #5 specifically are Ubuntu focused. When I started a LUG 8 years ago, I was definitely thinking I would have this highly technical group where people would be building and distributing their own signed packages, etc. I am now almost completely on the side of just have fun, be social, and explore the Linux system in an intelligent manner. It allows the technical folks to be technical, and everyone to just be there to learn or socialize... So, for Ubuntu Hour, I'd probably stick to those lines except have more of a focus on the Ubuntu specifics rather than general Linux, Launchpad, important Wikis, etc.I'd actually be fairly open on the type of content if were all related to Ubuntu.

What do you think makes a real Ubuntu Hour? I ask because everyone seems to have their own ideas and I'm always looking to shamelessly reuse them for the one I have. ;) -- 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 mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
