Awesome! I would like to get another one up and running and keep it up at 
least once a month. Just a quick question, did anyone notify KPLUG down here 
that we were holding one? 

Also, anyone in the Inland Empire or LA area interested in holding them as 
well? I would be able to make those assuming I'm in town this time around.

2010-10-29 Thread Kevin DuBois
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.

Cheers,
Kevin DuBois

Hey guys,
Sorry for the extremely late response, to be honest, I decided it would be
best to pipe down until all the leadership arguing was completed before
rocking the boat :D

I'll try to make it this saturday, I have other commitments for this week,
so if I can work it in, I will. The location sounds good. Hopefully see
everybody saturday.

Phillip,

I haven't heard anything back from Kevin DuBois.  If you're interested 
in an Ubuntu Hour in San Diego, I recommend you email him and see if 
he's still planning anything.  If he's not, you might want to organize 
one yourself.  At the simplest level, it's just an announcement that 
you're going to be somewhere for an hour on a regular schedule.

2010-08-18 Thread Mark Garrow
I use to attend a meeting for Ubuntu in San Diego some time back and would
like to do it again.  We typically had 3 to 7 people show up and the
discussion was pretty loose.  No real predefined topic(s), everyone just
brought to the table what they needed help with, were interested in, etc.
This also included software usage as in "What do I use when I want to .
. "  Your points 2 & 5 are where my interests are.  I don't
code (although there is the desire to know more about it).  Although I'm no
expert, or even novice in some eyes, I've been actively using Ubuntu/Kubuntu
since Breezy Badger.

I would add scripting to the list of things I'd like to learn more about. :)

2010-08-18 Thread Kevin DuBois
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

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.

Cheers

Good question Nathan.

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.

(not sure if that answered your question)

No one said "make it like BarCamp", they just said "BarCamp might be a 
good source of interested people for a hacker-friendly event.

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.  ;)

I do stay longer than an hour if attendees show no sign of leaving and 
if I'm not too tired or hungry.  But if you're going to stay that long 
you should probably buy something (I usually do either way).

I'll probably be happy to stick around and chat on the 26th if you stay

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] San Diego Ubuntu Hour! All Interested San Diegans Ping Me Back!

2010-08-14 Thread David Kaiser
Hi Nathan, I actually do agree with that premise too - advocacy of
Ubuntu Linux in a larger forum, so to speak.  There could be many forums
(Barcamp included) which could be considered candidates for that, and
some good potential places for personal networking with techie types.

I know my last e-mail was getting long and I wasn't trying to start
debate - but I do think your comments are correct and I definitely
should have stated that premise in my original response.

I should have also added one other negative point to my last e-mail- a
member of our LUG registered for the last Barcamp in San Diego, drove
down there, only to be refused admittance because one of the organizers
has a personal grievance with him.  It just reinforced, to me at least,
about what is wrong about Barcamp and it's lacking of structure and
organization.

I still recommend to Kevin to startup a real Ubuntu Hour...  :)


Thanks,
David

By the way Nathan, I may be able to make it to the August 26th Ubuntu
Hour in Lake Forest - just curious - do you ever go over the (1) "hour"
?  I'm going to be headed somewhere near there around 8pm so I might
stay longer (2 hrs) as Panera Bread is open.

Well, good suggestions but Bruce's suggestion about BarCamp was that it 
might be a good way to get in touch with people who had experience with 
get-togethers or interest in Ubuntu and in that limited scope I don't 
think it's bad advice.  :)

I think it'll be good to have another Ubuntu Hour in San Diego and I 
hope others will put some together as well.  I know I'll definitely try

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] San Diego Ubuntu Hour! All Interested San Diegans Ping Me Back!

2010-08-14 Thread David Kaiser
Kevin, this is a great idea - San Diego is a great area to do this.  I
hope you find a good suitable location, this is always the challenge for
organizing Linux events.   I live too far North to consider driving out
for weeknight-type schedules (two hours drive, one-way, for a two-hour
meet is hard to figure )  For the same reason I haven't been able to
make the Ubuntu night in O.C, and also the reason why we might have to
make one for the Inland Empire :)

Regarding Bruce's comments on Barcamp, I'd really make the opposite
recommendation.

Barcamp is not Linux, it's not Ubuntu Linux, it's not open-source,
it's not even actually about computing...  barcamp is only about
whatever barcamp is about.  It's an "un"-conference.

Here's the general impression (my OPINION only, your mileage may
vary...)  You go, you network, meet other individuals, look to generate
some common interest for a meeting time slot (you'll see sticky notes
on a wall next to time slots)  so let's say you go and want to talk
about Ubuntu Linux for 1 hour and you've found 4 or 5 other people who
will do this too.  So you write your name down on the sticky note for
that time.

Lets say then that there are 15 more people that want to talk about some
ASP.Net program they want to sell for tracking your SEO stats.  They can
just walk over and put their sticky note on your time slot.  Nobody
cares.  Nobody is in charge.  It's an unconference.

Additional concerns:

- barcamp is loud, random, hectic... not the kind of place you could
accomplish items #3 or #5 in your list below - as they need a
quiet/dedicated environment where people can work on their laptops, etc.

- Barcamp is supposedly by definition, a free event for everyone, but you
end up seeing all the requests for (and prominently placed webbanners
for) corporate sponsorship.  Do you want to hold an Ubuntu event at a
camp that is sponsored by Microsoft.  I don't.  (I don't believe the
Ubuntu policies, in general, are open to corporate sponsorship/logos of
even burning CD's, etc.)

- A barcamp event may be lacking in proper network security.  While you
also don't know much about the setup (DSL connection, firewall settings
or lack thereof, or Wi-Fi security settings) you find at a coffee
house...  at least the network was installed/paid/maintained through the
efforts of the proprietor that you are supporting (and you should ask
them basic questions about use of the wireless network if they allow
your meeting there.)  With any barcamp event, the network has to be
established by someone who is an organizer or volunteer of the barcamp. 
I personally find this to be a security problem.  At an event like
Defcon I expect people to be probing laptops, capturing packets, etc. 
at a Linux-focused event where you are wanting to help people new to
Ubuntu Linux, you want to know that nothing malicious is going on when
you're helping them setup their PPA or something.

Where is a barcamp network security on the scale between the friendly
meetup you proposed and something like Defcon.  Well, you don't know -
and you won't.  It's a relevant question to ask.


OK - i've made my points.  :)  take them with a grain of salt, use as
you wish.  Best of luck with organizing an event.  I hope you find San
Diego a great place to start a Ubuntu Hour.  I may try to make it to the
OC one, or this one someday, (if it's not at a Barcamp of course)

Thanks,
David

Kevin,

I'm interested.  My only constraints are that I live in north Escondido and
am very busy.  But I'd love to see something for Ubuntu start up.

You might consider contacting the local San Diego Barcamp site (
http://www.barcampsd.org/) as well and seeing if there are interested people
there.  Barcamp has weekends twice a year and several of them tend to be
Linux oriented...

[Ubuntu-US-CA] San Diego Ubuntu Hour! All Interested San Diegans Ping Me Back!

2010-08-14 Thread Kevin DuBois
Hey all,
I'm looking into get a San Diego "Ubuntu Hour" going around the greater San
Diego area! I'm thinking that we do this 'coffee house coder' style. We had
similar events back in Michigan that seemed to always work out well.

If you are in San Diego, and would be willing to meet once a month for an
Ubuntu Hour, PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK! :) We need to get about half a 3-6 'core'
people that would come every month.

Why?
1. Getting a new open source pet project going
2. Getting involved in an existing OSS project
3. Getting started doing technical/translation/bug/community/documentation
work for Ubuntu
4. Technical networking in meatspace!
5. Answering technical questions for people who are having trouble
installing/configuring Ubuntu

Where?
I'm new to the area, so I'm scouting out decent coffee shops where the
management would be open to this type of deal. I'm thinking a good place to
meet would be the downtown area.

When?
I'm thinking once a month would probably be a good frequency at which to
meet. Probably a Mon/Tues/Wed night after the workday would be a decent day
to meet. (Doesn't interfere with social schedules as much)

How?
I have a few ideas to drum up interest, including fliers around downtown and
the college campuses

This plan is still in its infancy, suggestions/advice is always welcome.

Cheers,
Kevin DuBois
