[bkerensa@ubuntu.com: Ubuntu Global Jam - The Final Details]

by Steve Langasek

Hey folks, Thought I'd forward on the invite to this weekend's Ubuntu Global Jam in case anyone here was interested and isn't subscribed to ubuntu-us-or. The Global Jam (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam) is a coordinated event that brings folks in the community together to help make Ubuntu better, not just developers but contributors of all stripes. And of course, one way to make Ubuntu better is by making Debian better, so I'm planning to spend some time looking through Debian release-critical bugs that apply to both Debian and Ubuntu and seeing about squashing one or two. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

FYI for Ubuntu/Debian Jam Tomorrow

by Benjamin Kerensa

Hello All, With the Ubuntu/Debian event coming tomorrow morning I just wanted to suggest that people taking public transit or coming via vehicle take into consideration that the Occupy Portland people have started camping in the Park Blocks close to where PuppetLabs is situated and there is the potential for traffic and transit delays if stuff gets out of hand so you might want to give yourself an extra 15 minute buffer in your travel time. -- Benjamin Kerensa Team Lead, Ubuntu Oregon bkerensa(a)ubuntu.com

Local Jam and Bug Squashing Party: details for the day

by Steve Langasek

Hi folks, As promised, here's a follow-up with some more details for the big day. When, Where, What ----------------- The Ubuntu Local Jam and Debian Bug Squashing Party will be held at the PuppetLabs office in downtown Portland from 10am to 5:30pm on Sunday, December 4. Again, the address is: 411 NW Park Ave Suite 500 Portland, OR 97219 Many thanks to PuppetLabs for hosting us! To participate fully in the event, please bring your own computer with you. (laptop/netbook/tablet/wearable computer?) What are we working on? ----------------------- When considering possible topics for Ubuntu and Debian to collaborate on today, one in particular stands out: multiarch. http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch Both Debian and Ubuntu have multiarch support as a goal for the next release. Unfortunately, there are a lot of packages that need to be changed to make that a reality. *Fortunately*, we have converting these packages down to an art! http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation Even if you know nothing about changing packages, you can still help out! We've prepared a wiki page that tells you everything you need to know about how to modify a package. http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingAPackage If you haven't worked with source packages before, it's recommended that you read this page before the Jam on Sunday. But if you don't get to it, don't worry - we'd still like to see you! In addition to this main theme, we have a number of other tasks lined up to entertain our community members, regardless of background. * Ubuntu SRU verifications: Brian Murray will lead us through the process of verifying Stable Release Updates for Ubuntu, helping bug fixes from the Ubuntu developers make their way to users. * Ubuntu bitesized bugs: multiarch too boring? There are many small bugs in Ubuntu that could use your help. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize * Debian release-critical bugs: of course, multiarch is not the only issue for the upcoming Wheezy release. Let's spend some time looking at those release-critical bugs... maybe we can even give the German BSP a run for their money this weekend :) http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/10/msg00003.html That's all, folks ----------------- See you on Sunday! -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Khun Pic's Thursday November 17th, 7pm?

by Vagrant Cascadian

i guess i'm calling it. How about Thursday November 17th, at 7pm? Khun Pic's Bahn Thai (503) 235-1610 3429 SE Belmont St Portland, OR 97214 if possible, i'd like call around 5:30 to make a reservation if there's going to be more than 5 people- please email me and/or the list if you definitely want to go. it's a somewhat flexible space, so if you can't commit, feel free to drop by anyways. Hope that works for everybody. Sounds like the local Debian community would like to see you, John, hope you can join us (I, for one, use offlineimap every day, so "John Goerzen" is one of those omnipresent names in my life). for those who haven't seen my meta-review of Khun Pic's Bahn Thai: "i don't think they have their own web page, but there are numerous reviews online, which generally amount to praising the food despite the *slow* service, which largely mirrors my experience. the long wait gives plenty of time for conversation, right?" -Vagrant Cascadian, Debian Portland Soc list, October 2011 live well, vagrant

Visiting PDX; meetup?

by John Goerzen

Hi folks, I'll be in Portland next week - arriving the afternoon of the 15th, leaving the afternoon of the 19th. A brief family vacation with my wife and boys. I'm interested in meeting any Portland-area folks that may be around. I've started http://www.doodle.com/hebeu25ae79xz5ae to see when people are available, if it matters. We'll be staying downtown at 506 SW Washington with no car, but easy access to transit. I will, of course, bring along my GPG fingerprint. -- John

third Thursday: Oct 20, 7pm @ Lucky Lab

by Steve Langasek

Hey all, I think we've missed a couple of third Thursdays for various reasons, but good news! We have another one coming up, and it's this Thursday! Who's for a beering at Lucky Lab? Say, 7ish? BTW, given that our meeting time and place of choice coincides with every other geek gathering in Portland, does anyone have suggestions of other venues to try? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Third Thursday of the month

by Steve Langasek

Well, today is the third Thursday of the month, which is our standard beering night. Since Vagrant and I are both in Banja Luka for DebCamp, we're declaring that quorum, and having the Portland Debian beering in Banja Luka. Anyone who wants to join, meet up at the bar in front of the conference hotel in 15 minutes! Bdale will be joining us, Keith, which I think means he will have officially made it to as many Portland Debian beerings as you have... you need to step up your game here ;-P And for those of you who find Banja Luka a bit out of the way for a beering this time around, well... feel free to have beer without us over there anyway :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
