Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] LTS Release party.
Walter - You are correct, I don't think we figured out this release party thing (when, and where) yet. Yes - please check with Ben to see if we can hold release party at Mozilla. As for "when" - As most of you know, this April 2016 is Ubuntu's Long Term Support (LTS) release, it would be cl to have the release party to celebrate LTS. If its decided to have a release party, we (James, Cody, and Phil) feel it best to celebrate the LTS release. However LinuxFest Northwest will also be taking place during April 23-24, 2016. So this could once again cause a scheduling conflict with some of our key members / contributors, in less we have LTS release party first week of April or perhaps sometime in May ;-) Where the weather "May" be a "Bit" better. LOL. This is simply some suggestions, and is completely up to the rest of the LoCo team. Thanks Walter, and all. Phil.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu meeting.
Che, I concur with what Cody said; Here in Salem we have been staying at around 3 people pre meeting, with a few visitors who temporary attend to get a problem or two solved. Stay vigilant, because people will eventually show up. Some things we found that work here in Salem are: * Small flyer (poster) half page, the larger ones seem to get taken down more often to make room. * Meet at least once pre month at the same place and time. * Meet on a weekday, (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings work best, because many people leave town on a Friday for the weekend, and most holidays fall on a Monday, so those days near the weekend may not be as good a turnout.) However you may find in your area, that people may be willing leave their own town to travel to yours on the weekend ;-) Just a few ideas though - great work on LoCo evens page. Ciao for now Phil.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
Sounds to me like some of our key members, who have been great contributors (U know who UR) are going to be at LFNW, AND due to the short time frame we'd be facing, not to mention, Canonical requiring several months notice to approve funding. That said; looks like we'll have to wait until October to hold a release party, as suggested by Benjamin. As for location - I'm all for holding it in Salem, however I would ALSO like to hold it at Mozilla, because I'm a big fan of FF. That is if we can plan our event (which maybe sometime during first or second week of October) around Benjamin's schedule. Plus it'll be great to see those members, who otherwise would have been at LFNW. AND of course we have more time to do as Walter suggested; we can ABSOLUTELY get a jam pack full of goodies. ;-) Very nice - much thanks Walter. I'll be at tomorrow's Salem Ubuntu held at Broadway commons, while there, Cody and I can check on conference room pricing for October, just in case we can't get Mozilla. Even though I'm for going to Mozilla or bust... LOL. Thanks all, for supporting a truly great OS. Ciao for now Phil.

I've been a supporter and user of Ubuntu for several years now, my first taste of Ubuntu was 8.04 as far as I remember (not as young as I used to be). My epic Linux journey started when a friend of mine from Chicago introduced me to OpenSUSE (KDE). I liked it but at the time I was big into retro gaming and found, being the noob that I was, that I could install the various emulators a lot easier on Ubuntu. I also fell head over heals for the cube desktop and who could forget the wobbly windows. That was the beginning. After using it for awhile and getting to know the philosophy behind not just Ubuntu but Linux in general, I found that it really suited my own outlook on life. I'm not a coder myself but I like to help out where ever I can. My main skills are building PCs of various different shapes and sizes and of course maintaining and upgrading them. I use Ubuntu full time which makes life interesting at times being a gamer (Steam is helping a lot). I'm also a contributor to Rootgamer.com, a Linux gaming site based out of Holland. We're quiet at the moment but plans are being made for the future and converting the site to a more well rounded Linux gaming support site, a bit like WoWhead except for Linux gamers. I've also been a contributor to the unofficial Ubuntu Manual project, covering the Thunderbird section for both 11.10 and 12.04.

Thanks, Walter, Cody, Thomas, I'm familiar with iChat, Pidgin, and Empathy, which is the default IRC in Ubuntu. My problem was not app based, it was Logging in via web interface.

I have recently discovered that logging in through Ubuntu One first, solves many a log in issues - go figure... LOL. Problem solved. I'll eagerly await this evenings irc meeting at 6:30pm, to see it all works. BTY: I think tonight's topic is review of UOS. Thanks everyone for your support. Phil.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Hour this week?
James, is correct regarding Salem's Ubuntu meeting days - so I second his statement. The local Salem OR Ubuntu - meets on the First and Second Friday of each month, at 6:00pm at our normal meeting location - Broadway coffee house. 1300 Broadway St NE #100, Salem, OR 97301. So there is no meeting this Friday 11th of July. Ciao for now Phil.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Gauge use of a Mumble server for the LoCo
Cody, I think you have a great idea, and having a VoIP Ubuntu help line similar to Call for Help, which was a tech help show with Leo Laporte as host technical adviser for the show, that aired during the great tech epoch of the late 90s. Where Call for Help was phone based, the Ubuntu Call for Help would be, as Cody stated online via VoIP. If implemented with usability, interoperability, and of course security in mind, then this could become a huge benefit to the Linux Ubuntu community. My only concern is requiring a client app to be installed, as this detracts from both usability, and interoperability, by requiring client to first install an application before they can seek help. Q1. Is there any existing turn-key web based solutions, that doesn't require software to be installed, instead uses the browser, or at minimum a browser plug-in? ;-) I still think it's a great idea, regardless of how it's implemented, and can only further help the Ubuntu community. Cody - if you can't find a server to run your VoIP idea, please let me know and I'll see if I can allow you to use my company's server. Respectfully submitted for your consideration, Sincerely Phillip.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Tonight's Ubuntu Hour
Yep, I agree with James and Cody, its just to risky to attend this evening's Ubuntu meeting, so I also won't be attending. Looks like next Friday it's going to be in the mid 40s, OMG - much warmer.
