enricoChrisH: that guy is "spiv"02:03
enricoI'll introduce everyone to everyone until everyone will be sick of me introducing people :)02:03
enrico(that's what I usually do anyway ;)02:04
enricoIt's however more fun to meet people IRL anyway02:04
enricoPhotos spoil the expectations02:04

ChrisHenrico: At least your airline didn't go bancrupt this time.02:43
enricoChrisH: eh02:44
enricoChrisH: but the train company tried to keep me away of the airport02:44
ChrisHenrico: Were you too ugly? ;)02:44
enricoChrisH: the ticket office was closed, and the train driver didn't allow me in saying that the ticket office was open02:44
ChrisHenrico: Did you get anything done today? Or are you just sitting in the reception hall being on IRC? :)02:45
enricoChrisH: the italian railway police officer I asked things later told me to call the railway police next time, because they'd like to beat some train driver since they are annoyed at them doing that  (of course he didn't say "beat")02:45
enricoChrisH: I'm trying to get the hang of this secretary job and to work out and organize what are the initiatives I'll undertake02:46
enricoThen I'll make some annoucement in the list02:47
ChrisHenrico: Ah, the italian train. I thought you had trouble in Barcelona.02:47

enricoChrisH: for the ubuntu-doc channel, yes02:48
enricoSorry, for the ubuntu-doc community02:48
ChrisHDo we have a seperte community? :)02:48
=== ChrisH is asking too many questions today
enricoChrisH: you mean, a doc community outside of the channel?  I think so.  There are many more people in the list than in the channel02:48
enricoSome are active in the book, for example02:48
hornbeckwell I am off to work guys02:48
enricohornbeck: see you later!02:49

sivangenrico : was it sunday that the ticket office was close?03:19
enricosivang: yes03:19
sivangenrico : I heared from Treenaks (Martin Van Streek) that they have an automatic machine there,03:19
enricosivang: but you won't need to get a train ticket in Rome, since you won't get out of the airport anyway03:19
sivanghehe03:19
enricosivang: sure, but the automatic machine was out of order03:19
sivangNow I get it,03:19

ChrisHenrico: If I may ask... I can't attend at the LaptopSupportAndPowerManagement BOF. Care to take a few notes? That the most FAQ here at work how the "power state of the nation" is currently.05:12
enricoChrisH: ok!05:23
ChrisHenrico: thanks05:23
enricoChrisH: that'll be tomorrow afternoon, I'll be there, 05:24
enricoChrisH: anyhow, every BOF has a notetaker and has notes published05:24
ChrisHenrico: Okay, that should do it.05:24
enricoChrisH: however, if you want to be online, I can tell you what happens and report questions for you (like, interfacing you with the bof)05:24
ChrisHenrico: Wednesday will probably the most interesting day for me. I can offer to take notes there.05:24
