[09:38] <enrico> LET THE CONFERENCE BEGIN!
[09:39] <ChrisH> Hehe... :)
[09:40] <ChrisH> enrico: Are you there already?
[09:41] <ChrisH> Is there an official IRC channel during the conference?
[09:43] <enrico> uhm uhm uhm...  let's ask
[09:44] <enrico> Mako doesn't know of anything but #ubuntu-devel
[09:44] <ChrisH> Uh huh... would be nice to have one for organisational things there.
[09:44] <ChrisH> #mataro? #ubuntu-conference?
[09:48] <enrico_> As I was saying, *when my computer won't crash* I'll be hanging on here and keeping people updated
[09:57] <ChrisH> lulu: Hey. :) How's breakfast?
[09:58] <lulu> ChrisH: excellent :o) all sorts of allsorts!
[09:58] <ChrisH> lulu: I assume everone has a laptop on the table. ;)
[10:03] <enrico> AS I WAS SAYING
[10:03] <enrico> When my laptop crashes
[10:04] <enrico> That is, when my laptop does not crash, I hang out here
[10:04] <enrico> ghghgh
[10:04] <enrico> And I'll be posting some updates in the list about what happens
[10:04] <enrico> All the BOFs will have notes on the wiki as well
[10:14] <lulu> ChrisH: yes. lots of laptops
[10:19] <ChrisH> lulu: Enough wall sockets? :)
[10:20] <ChrisH> How many are there actually? 20? 50? 200?
[10:20] <ChrisH> Would be nice to have a web cam. :)
[10:42] <enrico> ChrisH: wall sockets?  huge
[10:42] <enrico> I'll try to post pictures
[10:47] <enrico> I took some pictures, now I have to fetch the cable to get them out of my camera
[11:10] <ChrisH> enrico: Can't you wear a helmet cam?
[11:10] <ChrisH> enrico: How crowded is it already?
[11:19] <enrico> laptop's so much crashy today
[11:19] <enrico> So, posts to the list
[11:21] <ChrisH> enrico: Is it crowded already? :)
[11:22] <enrico> uh, quite
[11:22] <enrico> around 55 people already
[11:23] <ChrisH> So the BOFs are probably more like conferences...
[11:24] <enrico> yeah, although not everyone's in a BOF
[11:25] <ChrisH> What are you doing? Hacking? :)
[11:28] <enrico> Well, rebooting my laptop over and over, mainly :(
[11:28] <enrico> Plus, talking with cenerentola and fixing the notes I've taken
[12:31] <ChrisH> enrico: what about a public gallery? I can set one up in no time.
[12:35] <enrico> ChrisH: do you have bandwidth enough?
[12:35] <ChrisH> enrico: 0.5 Mbps
[12:35] <enrico> ChrisH: uhm, that's going to be hammered
[12:35] <ChrisH> enrico: No problem. :)
[12:36] <enrico> In that case... :)
[12:36] <ChrisH> enrico: At least I wanted to put my photos online there. Let's burn the line. :)
[12:36] <enrico> I'm tring to put my pictures on my  server atm
[12:46] <enrico> First report sent!
[12:47] <enrico> well, sending...
[01:28] <ChrisH> sivang: Hey... a late entry. :)
[01:28] <sivang> yes :)
[01:28] <sivang> Have been up late packing :)
[01:29] <ChrisH> You mean you watched your gf pack your bag? :)
[01:29] <sivang> something like that :) hehe
[01:29] <sivang> I would be lost without her 
[01:31] <sivang> :)

[01:40] <plovs> ah, ok, nice to see you all irl
[01:40] <sivang> ChrisH : tommorow?
[01:41] <ChrisH> sivang: wednesday
[01:41] <ChrisH> enrico: At the front entrance? :)
[01:41] <plovs> enrico: thanks, for the first write up
[01:42] <enrico> ChrisH: I'll hand out the room keys :)
[01:42] <enrico> plovs: my pleasure.  More will come this afternoon
[01:42] <ChrisH> Launchpad... sounds nice.
[01:42] <sivang> enrico : can you come pick us up from the train station? :)
[01:43] <plovs> enrico: yeah, with a limo, a white one, but if that is not possible then a black is ok as well, we're easy
[01:43] <enrico> sivang: I'll send the armed guards for that
[01:43] <sivang> I want cavier and champane 
[01:43] <enrico> plovs: helycopter is allright?
[01:43] <enrico> sivang: no champagne here, but a good cava will do
[01:43] <plovs> enrico: armed guards is good, i got this funny package in my suit-case from france
[01:44] <sivang> enrico : yes, but make it the luxury ones , you know with the hot tub in it
[01:44] <enrico> (cava is the local champaigne)
[01:44] <enrico> sivang: hot jacuzzi, one each
[01:44] <ChrisH> enrico: Wow... power! endless power! :)
[01:45] <enrico> you can sleep in a jacuzzi here, they give you special inflatable pillows for that
[01:45] <plovs> enrico: does wireless work in the rooms yet?
[01:45] <enrico> plovs: Haven't been in the room today :)  But wlan works in all the places I've been
[01:45] <plovs> enrico: nice
[01:46] <enrico> ChrisH: there's a red phone here, I didn't try to pick it up.  Maybe that can help you :)
[01:46] <sivang> enrico : they have a jacuzzi?
[01:46] <enrico> sivang: uh, really, no
[01:46] <ChrisH> sivang: It's a bad hotel. No swimming pool at all.
[01:46] <enrico> The hotel is nice, one of those hotels that are the same all around the globe
[01:47] <sivang> enrico : ok then, now how in the _world_ don't they provide 2 keys per room?
[01:47] <enrico> TV, frigobar, shower, tub, toilet and *bidet*!
[01:47] <enrico> Italians need bidet
[01:47] <enrico> Air conditioning, too
[01:47] <ChrisH> enrico: Bidet is nice... but I'd rather have a whirlpool.
[01:47] <enrico> And the breakfast buffet is really good
[01:48] <sivang> enrico : where do you leave the laptop when you want to just walk around and hang?
[01:48] <sivang> enrico : do they have enough power outlets for the less, ACPI blessed ubuntu boxes out there? :)
[01:49] <enrico> sivang: lots of power outlets: check the pictures (announced in the list)
[01:49] <enrico> (tehre's also a ConferenceGalleries wiki page now)
[01:49] <enrico> sivang: where to leave the laptop... uhm... the room has a safe, but it's kind of small
[01:49] <enrico> sivang: best option is keeping on you
[01:50] <plovs> enrico: an airport running windows is not really faith-inspiring afaik, but nice pics anyway
[01:51] <enrico> plovs: hang on a sec
[01:51] <sivang> enrico : do they have any sort of belongings keeping ?
[01:51] <sivang> enrico : even paid?
[01:52] <ChrisH> Who's the guy in the background here: http://foodfight.org/fotos/2004/12-05%20Ubuntu%20Hacker%20Crowd/?img_0003.jpg
[01:52] <ChrisH> I've seem him before at the LinuxTag.
[01:54] <enrico> plovs: http://lento.uncasino.it/enrico/galleries/2003-10-22-Sofia/foto/thumb/dscf0113-1-0.html
[01:55] <ChrisH> enrico: does not look like windows :)
[01:56] <enrico> ChrisH: you mean the guy with glasses next to the wall?
[01:57] <ChrisH> enrico: Yes, behind Mark (if that's him)
[02:00] <ChrisH> Would be nice to have a few photos of people. I have no idea how elmo or mdz look like.
[02:01] <ChrisH> enrico: But I'm sure you'll introduce us to all. :)
[02:03] <enrico> About keeping belongings, the hotel rooms are fine.  There's also this locker you can use
[02:03] <enrico> ChrisH: that guy is "spiv"
[02:03] <enrico> I'll introduce everyone to everyone until everyone will be sick of me introducing people :)
[02:04] <enrico> (that's what I usually do anyway ;)
[02:04] <enrico> It's however more fun to meet people IRL anyway
[02:04] <enrico> Photos spoil the expectations
[02:05] <ChrisH> enrico: That's right. It will probably make my head explode to learn 50 names.
[02:05] <enrico> ChrisH: well, 50 so far.  More will arrive :)
[02:25] <enrico> hornbeck: !!
[02:25] <enrico> hornbeck: how're you doing?
[02:32] <enrico> lunchtime updates at lento.uncasino.it/enrico/ubuntuconf
[02:32] <hornbeck> I am here, I am doing fine
[02:33] <ChrisH> enrico: Can't you just wear a helmet camera? :)
[02:33] <hornbeck> I am done with a truck load of work for my job, so back to Ubuntu this week
[02:33] <enrico> hornbeck: Wow!  So not in super-hectic-swamped mode anymore!
[02:33] <hornbeck> nope, done with all that
[02:34] <hornbeck> only thing I have today is like two clients and a meeting
[02:34] <lulu> hornbeck: welcome back!
[02:34] <hornbeck> so the rest will be doc writing
[02:34] <hornbeck> lulu: thanks
[02:35] <hornbeck> so is everyone except me at the conferance?
[02:36] <enrico> hornbeck: no, not yet
[02:36] <hornbeck> ahh
[02:37] <enrico> hornbeck: just me and lulu, from the current subscriber list of the channel
[02:38] <enrico> ChrisH: I know you ask that because you want to spy my passwords! :)
[02:39] <hornbeck> where is ChrisH, plovs, and sivang?
[02:39] <hornbeck> thought they where first responders also?
[02:40] <plovs> hornbeck: right here, working
[02:40] <plovs> hornbeck: i go tomorrow
[02:40] <ChrisH> hornbeck: I'm here. :) Hi, John.
[02:40] <ChrisH> hornbeck: I'll be in Spain from Wednesday to Saturday.
[02:42] <hornbeck> good deal guys
[02:42] <hornbeck> have alot of fun for me
[02:42] <enrico> sivang is probably busy packing, like in the last 3 days :)
[02:42] <hornbeck> I am going to start my passport process in january that way if this every pops up again I can just go
[02:42] <enrico> hornbeck: buy a lead case for it, though: I heard that new american passports have biometrics on RFID
[02:43] <enrico> hornbeck: oh, no, they tell me it's not yet working
[02:43] <ChrisH> enrico: At least your airline didn't go bancrupt this time.
[02:44] <enrico> ChrisH: eh
[02:44] <enrico> ChrisH: but the train company tried to keep me away of the airport
[02:44] <ChrisH> enrico: Were you too ugly? ;)
[02:44] <enrico> ChrisH: the ticket office was closed, and the train driver didn't allow me in saying that the ticket office was open
[02:45] <ChrisH> enrico: Did you get anything done today? Or are you just sitting in the reception hall being on IRC? :)
[02:45] <enrico> ChrisH: 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")
[02:46] <enrico> ChrisH: I'm trying to get the hang of this secretary job and to work out and organize what are the initiatives I'll undertake
[02:47] <enrico> Then I'll make some annoucement in the list
[02:47] <ChrisH> enrico: Ah, the italian train. I thought you had trouble in Barcelona.
[02:47] <ChrisH> enrico: So you are the logging officer?
[02:48] <enrico> ChrisH: for the ubuntu-doc channel, yes
[02:48] <enrico> Sorry, for the ubuntu-doc community
[02:48] <ChrisH> Do we have a seperte community? :)
[02:48] <enrico> ChrisH: you mean, a doc community outside of the channel?  I think so.  There are many more people in the list than in the channel
[02:48] <enrico> Some are active in the book, for example
[02:48] <hornbeck> well I am off to work guys
[02:49] <enrico> hornbeck: see you later!
[02:49] <hornbeck> have fun, and I will be checking in
[02:49] <hornbeck> :-)
[02:49] <enrico> hornbeck: I'll have some things to ask you about the book
[02:49] <hornbeck> ok, I will be back later
[03:19] <sivang> enrico : was it sunday that the ticket office was close?
[03:19] <enrico> sivang: yes
[03:19] <sivang> enrico : I heared from Treenaks (Martin Van Streek) that they have an automatic machine there,
[03:19] <enrico> sivang: but you won't need to get a train ticket in Rome, since you won't get out of the airport anyway
[03:19] <sivang> hehe
[03:19] <enrico> sivang: sure, but the automatic machine was out of order
[03:19] <sivang> Now I get it,
[03:20] <sivang> I thought it was in Barcelona :)
[04:00] <enrico> (since I'll be in Taiwan for some time...)
[04:06] <enrico> I moved upstairs
[04:06] <enrico> Wlan still works
[04:07] <enrico> And there are lots of power plugs
[04:20] <enrico> mako opens the BOF: A goal for hoary is having input methods for as many scripts as we can figure out what to do
[04:24] <enrico> some (many) input methods have been mentioned to show the current mess
[04:33] <enrico> there is a need to see what people are actually using
[05:12] <ChrisH> enrico: 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.
[05:23] <enrico> ChrisH: ok!
[05:23] <ChrisH> enrico: thanks
[05:24] <enrico> ChrisH: that'll be tomorrow afternoon, I'll be there, 
[05:24] <enrico> ChrisH: anyhow, every BOF has a notetaker and has notes published
[05:24] <ChrisH> enrico: Okay, that should do it.
[05:24] <enrico> ChrisH: 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] <ChrisH> enrico: Wednesday will probably the most interesting day for me. I can offer to take notes there.
[05:25] <ChrisH> enrico: Thanks for the offer. But I will probably not be online during that time because I need to get a few things ready for the flight.
[05:27] <enrico> ChrisH: ok
[08:25] <enrico> Dinnertime!
[08:25] <enrico> (more or less)
[08:25] <enrico> See you all tomorrow (I'll try to hack up a nightly report)
[08:26] <enrico> Bye!
[09:10] <ChrisH> Yeah, right... my notebook is making trouble. Argh!
