<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Who's going to SeaGL? @Valoriez @tsimonq2 @wxz
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> I probably will
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> In fact... let me ask for funding tomorrow
<valorie> I will
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I'm wondering if I can come up with a talk or something.
<valorie> that would be cool!
<tsimonq2> I'm so mad with Twitter right now. So, you have to be 13 to have a Twitter account... I just changed my birthday from when I initially created my account to my real one, and they immediately locked me out. They think I'm under 13, so I have no way to log into my Twitter account now until I wait the couple of days for them to process my appeal request with a picture of my photo ID...
<tsimonq2> https://twitter.com/tsimonq2 is now gone
<valorie> buh
<tsimonq2> "In order to create a Twitter account, you must be at least 13 years old. Twitter has determined that you donât meet these age requirements, so your account has been locked and will be removed from Twitter. Your active ad campaigns have been paused."
<tsimonq2> They don't have a phone number to call, but like I said, I started an appeal process.
<valorie> why did you give a fake birthday?
<tsimonq2> soooo
<tsimonq2> Because I created my account when I was 10. :P
<valorie> !
<valorie> precocious boy
<tsimonq2> hahahahaha
<tsimonq2> well
<tsimonq2> If anyone knows anybody at Twitter, halp pls

<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> Denver sounds good? @ahoneybun
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Yep I got the notification of me being mentioned lol.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> The airport is really out there though.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I mean we have our trains that go from it to a college though
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> well, it seemed a nice thought
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> It could work though if we use the college on the A line.
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> @ahoneybun, oh :D
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> I am losing intenet on and off today. Hopefully fixed  tomorrow!
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> So the University is CU.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> http://www.rtd-denver.com/routemaps/2514/A.pdf
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> @acheronuk
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @ahoneybun, Could you ask around to see if they'd be open to hosting such a thing?
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I could stop by maybe thursday since I that off and it's on the way to the A line for my flight.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I might need numbers and what we expect like food hosting or things like that.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> A line is like 9 bucks too so not that bad and you don't need a car to get to the event from the airport!
<valorie> I've already advocated for System76 to be chosen for the next KDE laptop vendor
<valorie> so maybe the team there would be interested in being part of the hosting team
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Chosen? Pretty sure the team would need to reach out for that.
<valorie> right now they are working with Slimbook in Spain
<valorie> I don't think the team doing that has the energy to work with a new company yet
<valorie> but I wanted System76 to be on their radar
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I don't think system76 will either though. Our focus is Pop!_OS with GNOME.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> They can pick System76 but we most likely would not do that.
<valorie> well, the partnership is going well with slimbook for now
<valorie> afaik
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> valorie can you get any number of past akademys to give the CU?
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> honestly I would just install Kubuntu on the Galago Pro.
<valorie> maybe write to the board or akademy-team ?
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Then buy that Slimbook.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> what is the email?
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> got it,.
<valorie> kde-ev-board@kde.org, akademy-team@kde.org
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Email sent.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Gave a few reasons to pick Denver.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> akademy group photo link is broken.
<valorie> well, Denver won't be chosen without a team stepping up to make a bid
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I'll see what I can do with the Ubuntu LoCo here.
<valorie> excellent
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> We'll reach out Emma and I will.
<valorie> there may be some sort of LUG there in Denver as well
<valorie> often the uni students are the best ones
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Most likely but I just know of the CO LoCo.
<valorie> sure, and they might have other contacts
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I'll put some feelers out at the CU once I heard back from the Akadamy Team.
<valorie> you could look at techie Meetup groups and see if there's anything interesting
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> We do have a LUG.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> https://www.meetup.com/The-Denver-Boulder-Linux-Meetup-Group/
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Message sent to their admin. He's been to our Pop release parties and Emma knows him.
<valorie> cool
<valorie> flying to Denver would be much easier and cheaper than Europe (for me) if less exciting
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Denver is exciting :)
<valorie> it's true that I've never eaten moose hotdogs, and I guess you can there!
<valorie> http://www.bikerjimsdogs.com/
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Oh I've been there!
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> It's good!
#kubuntu-council 2018-06-06
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> So they emailed me about akademy and I need to get some information.
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I was thinking of CCing the Council, what do you folks think?
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @ahoneybun, I'm +1
<valorie> sure
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> *yawn* I just want the next 24 hours to go by quickerrrr :)
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> In 24 hours I'll be at the Green Bay airport \o/
<valorie> nice
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I'm happy about my direct flight to NC lol.
#kubuntu-council 2018-06-07
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Weeeeeeee
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Finals are done
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Time for SELF
<valorie> have fun!
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Thanks!
<ricktimmis[m]> Congratulations Simon
<valorie> oooo, ricktimmis[m] is here!
<ricktimmis[m]> Just came off a call with the laptop computer company, they're putting together specs for 2 machines. A 13 inch, and a 17 inch
<valorie> very nice
<ricktimmis[m]> Hello {{{{hug}}}}
<valorie> have they talked at all with KDE people, or just with you?
<valorie> ricktimmis[m]: {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}} back
<ricktimmis[m]> Just me
<valorie> ok
<valorie> I think both the e.V. and the kde promo team will want to know about this
<valorie> the e.V. sooner, and the promo team before it hits, so they can help promote
<valorie> I assume they won't want to take the lead since it will be Kubuntu and not KDE branded
<valorie> but still
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Annnnd my flight is delayed.
<valorie> booo, ahoneybun
<ricktimmis[m]> Well, let me get it fleshed out in principle, before we take it further
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> All my entertainment is in my checked bag too.
<valorie> who will hit SELF first, you or tsimonq2?
<ricktimmis[m]> Once we have specs, prices, shipping understood, then I think we have something to talk about
<valorie> right, I just wanted to put that in the back of your mind
<ricktimmis[m]> Excellent, thanks
<valorie> the e.V. can help with any legal issues around branding, etc.
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @valorie, At first, Aaron was supposed to be first, but now we may line up
<valorie> let the arm-punching commence!
<ricktimmis[m]> Cool
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Hahahahahaha
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> At Green Bay Austin Straubel now
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> I had to get my seat assignment at the gate...
<valorie> not a long flight, is it?
<valorie> 2-3 hours?
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @valorie, I'm going to Detroit where I have a three hour layover, then to Charlotte
<valorie> ah
<valorie> that's a bit annoying
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Right
<valorie> one hour, no problem
<valorie> 3 hours is a bit
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> But it is comparable to a direct flight from Denver to Charlotte... Lol
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Yeah, it was the best I could do though. Oh well.
<valorie> I'd love to visit the Motor City, but actually visit
<valorie> not kick my heels for 3 hours in the airport, lol
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Hah
<ahoneybun> Andddd delayed again.
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Hello from Detroit
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Getting some Popeye's... Never had it before.
<wxl> whatcha doing there?
<ahoneybun> SELF
<wxl> i'm in sf wasting time next to some gci students (the event is over). my brother and i are going to do dinner
<wxl> oh cool
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Yeah I have a three hour layover
<ahoneybun> I'm on a 3 hour delay so far.
<ahoneybun> Well 2 really.
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Dinner
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/opaNGW8u/file_7701.jpg
<wxl> gross
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Lol
<wxl> the food at gci was.. wow.. and a lot, too
<wxl> i'm still stuffed from lunch and barely ate anything for it because i was still stuffed from breakfast
#kubuntu-council 2018-06-08
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Well, I'm in Charlotte now. Waiting for Aaron...
<valorie> is he landing soon, tsimonq2?
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> He's 1:34 away...
<valorie> oh gosh
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> I also can't get into our room without him, sooo I'm just going to grab coffee with Noah and wait for him...
<valorie> will be a late night for you two
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Indeed.
<valorie> it's already about midnight there, right?
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Especially with me getting three hours of sleep last night because of finals cramming...
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Yeah, 11:44
<valorie> coffee seems an ungood idea
<valorie> maybe hot chocolate?
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Hah
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> *shrug*
<valorie> lol
<IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> I'm tempted to fall asleep on top of my luggage near Aaron's gate and wait for him to find me, but I think that might be unwise too. :P
<valorie> heh
<acheronuk> think my broadband is fixed :)
<acheronuk> ISP had set the modem on a 'slower profile' though while the line was dodge. just spent 10 mins persuading them that they had in fact done that (they denied it) and to reset it.
<acheronuk> told me there had been no change and re-setting would change nothing
<acheronuk> they did it anyway as I insisted
<acheronuk> which immediately got my missing 2Mbps download back, and doubled my upload back to where it had been :)
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> \o/
<valorie> weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> https://www.zdnet.com/article/mark-shuttleworth-dishes-on-where-canonical-and-ubuntu-linux-are-going-next/
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> "because, while "I think GNOME is a nicely done desktop," many Ubuntu users are now objecting to GNOME. Shuttleworth also had kind words about the KDE Neon, MATE, and LXDE desktops. Still, "I do miss Unity, but I use GNOME." "
<valorie> not plasma, but KDE Neon?
<valorie> ok.....
<valorie> still, that's better than the suits against neon that some feared

<valorie> nice, ahoneybun
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> I have somethings I wish to discuss from the talk.

<valorie> before you forget
<IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> agreed
<ahoneybun> I have a keep doc for it valorie

<valorie> cool
<valorie> I would add: people take action items and commit to deadlines
<IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> Right.
