[09:41] <fabbione> hey tmarble 
[09:41] <tmarble> hi fabbione
[09:42] <tmarble> fabbione: sorry -- didn't see you here -- multitasking
[09:42] <tmarble> i head out to San Diego in about 1 hour
[09:42] <fabbione> no problem
[09:42] <fabbione> i saw your ping yesterday but i was already weekend'ing :)
[09:42] <fabbione> ok
[09:42] <tmarble> you can do that!
[09:42] <fabbione> have fun there
[09:42] <fabbione> not always.. my wife doesn't allow me to :)
[09:42] <tmarble> it's all work :-(   SPECjvm2006
[09:43] <fabbione> well i love to travel..
[09:43] <fabbione> is there anything i can do for you before you take off?
[09:43] <tmarble> Please note: https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-mtv
[09:44] <tmarble> I will be attending all week and coordinating activities for Sun
[09:44] <fabbione> ok
[09:44] <fabbione> than you should subscribe to all specs you are supposed to be in
[09:44] <tmarble> any tips on things to think about and/or how to prepare for UDS would be most helpful
[09:45] <fabbione> once you are registered go to the spec tracker
[09:45] <tmarble> with the exception of the their launchpad page -- is there any other mechanism to determine "who's who" among developer/attendees?
[09:45] <fabbione> and make sure to be subscribed to the one you are interested in
[09:45] <tmarble> got it
[09:45] <fabbione> nope
[09:45] <fabbione> but there will be a general introduction the first day
[09:46] <tmarble> first day = Sunday
[09:46] <tmarble> ?
[09:46] <fabbione> i assume we will do like other times.. everybody stands up and say a couple of word on "who am I"
[09:46] <fabbione> yes sunday is my very best guess
[09:46] <tmarble> I'll arrive around noon-ish on Monday
[09:46] <tmarble> do you suppose that developers are going to want to go on caffeine induced hackathons for 24-hour straight?
[09:47] <tmarble> or, would there be some interest, do you think, in *a little* sight-seeing (e.g. food or nightlife in San Francisco)?
[09:47] <fabbione> no, specs writing is boring enough that we spend the evening drinking to forget :)
[09:47] <fabbione> sight seeing and life > *
[09:48] <fabbione> are you going to be the only guy from SUN showing up?
[09:48] <fabbione> Simon was talking about a few more coming
[09:48] <tmarble> hmmm  I'm very tempted to organize an outing... say tuesday-ish?... for some (techno dance) clubbing... sound good?
[09:48] <fabbione> and we were trying to arrange a dinner just to get to know eachother before starting to work
[09:48] <tmarble> there will be several -- don't have a full count yet
[09:48] <tmarble> cool -- any ideas on which day the dinner would take place
[09:48] <fabbione> well they need to register in LP and subscribe to specs, otherwise it will be caothic
[09:49] <tmarble> right
[09:49] <fabbione> dinner should be wed AFAIK
[09:49] <fabbione> it really depends.. Simon didn't answer one single email i wrote to him to have names and dates
[09:49] <tmarble> now, let's say, Sun person wants to package application foobar for Ubuntu (Debian)... if there isn't a spec yet, should they create one?
[09:50] <tmarble> I apologize on Simon's behalf for that... I'll be much more responsive
[09:50] <fabbione> yes, they need to create a spec in wiki.u.c (use the spec template) register it in LP and get it scheduled for MV
[09:50] <tmarble> I just got approved late friday
[09:50] <tmarble> k
[09:50] <fabbione> but there is a time limit for specs submission
[09:50] <fabbione> let me check
[09:51] <tmarble> but, I don't see anything on the schedule yet -- > will the schedule be on the wiki -> ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitMountainView
[09:51] <fabbione> the schedule will be generated on a daily base
[09:51] <tmarble> OK....
[09:51] <fabbione> because specs don't get all approved/worked at the same speed
[09:51] <fabbione> but
[09:51] <fabbione> if SUN guy is known to show up tue, his specs will not be scheduled for monday
[09:52] <fabbione> or something like that
[09:52] <tmarble> ok
[09:52] <fabbione> i mean.. apply that rule in different ways
[09:52] <fabbione> like he needs to leave early and so on
[09:52] <fabbione> point is that fixed schedule simply doesn't work
[09:52] <tmarble> sure, that makes sense
[09:52] <fabbione> if a spec needs more discussion or one just go from draft to approved in one hour.. 
[09:52] <fabbione> etc.
[09:52] <tmarble> I'm going to target nightlife for tuesday (or thursday)
[09:52] <fabbione> you get the idea
[09:53] <fabbione> yeah let's meet up on monday and see how things are settled
[09:53] <tmarble> ok... 
[09:53] <fabbione> i have no idea of a lot of details yet
[09:53] <fabbione> like what's up for dinner and so on
[09:53] <tmarble> hey, I thought you were supposed to know *everything* :)
[09:53] <fabbione> (if we need to find our own resturant or we are all at the hotel.. etc.)
[09:53] <tmarble> i'm at the same hotel BTW
[09:54] <tmarble> .. and I'm going to stay the weekend as I have biz the following week in Santa Clara
[09:54] <fabbione> yeah yeah.. my wife accuses me of the same, but then when i ask her to fix an IRQ problems, she believes i got some weird new sexual desease
[09:54] <fabbione> cool
[09:54] <tmarble> hehe
[09:54] <fabbione> we will stay the week after too
[09:54] <fabbione> but we have a fixed event on saturday
[09:54] <fabbione> and we need to change hotel
[09:54] <tmarble> you can do that
[09:55] <fabbione> yeps.. let see how things evolve
[09:55] <fabbione> i am all up for partying and driking
[09:55] <fabbione> drinking
[09:55] <fabbione> it helps to face the day after :P
[09:55] <tmarble> don't know how to localize "woot" in italian ;-)
[09:55] <fabbione> ehehe 
[09:55] <tmarble> I have to step away from the computer for a bit (last minute packing and all...)
[09:56] <fabbione> i understand that
[09:56] <fabbione> take care
[09:56] <fabbione> i am off to watch a movie and then to bed
[09:56] <tmarble> I'll be around (on IRC) once I'm in San Diego
[09:56] <fabbione> ok
[09:56] <tmarble> buon cine!

[09:56] <tmarble> ttyl!
