[05:38] evening Burgundavia [05:38] not bad === beuno got off the phone with Carl from System76 a while ago, and is getting his laptop shipped to europe [05:39] :D [05:39] which one are you getting? [05:39] Darter! [05:39] nice [05:40] yeah, very nice of him to make an expception and send it over there [05:40] I'll pick it up on my way to debconf [05:40] you bought a darter? [05:40] and voila! [05:40] you being sponsored to debconf? [05:40] Burgundavia: yeap!

[05:44] ahh [05:44] :p [05:45] the flight is the expensive part [05:45] what do you do for work, anyway? [05:45] I own a web development company, so mainly web dev [05:45] ahh [05:45] how old are you? [05:46] not so much dirty work, mostly managing it at this point [05:46] 23 :p [05:46] right [05:46] I got it started when I was 17 [05:46] heh [05:46] wait, do all these questions violate the CoC or anything? :-P [05:46] not really [05:46] besides, I judge the CoC now :) [05:46] lol [05:46] lol [05:46] /evil_laugh [05:47] I am probably about to radically change life course [05:47] oh yeah? [05:47] I actually come more from the tech side, I landed here because you guys where very friendly, but I think I'll probably end up doing most my work on the MOTU side [05:47] probably going to go for an Urban Planning degree [05:47] Burgundavia: really? what is it you do now? [05:48] marketing and PR for a desktop linux company [05:48] that actually sounds kind of fun, especially nowadays [05:49] yeap, I think so [05:49] it would be, if it were not for the company and its mismanagement [05:50] ooh... not good :( [05:50] do you guys concentrate on any particular distro? [05:50] pretty much [05:50] but their are many companies popping, I'm sure you can find work easily now a day [05:50] our own, which is Fedora-based [05:51] I work for Userful [05:51] and why urban planning? [05:52] because geography has always facinated me, I am a natural politician and I want to change the world [05:52] nice [05:52] that sounds like a great goal! [05:52] (nice phrase for a politician too) :p [05:53] I have this problem that my skills are extremely broad but shallow [05:53] I have the exact same problem [05:54] only it turns out managing a company turns out to benefit a lot from that [05:54] indeed [05:54] I have the exact skills a CIO/CTO/CEO needs, just not the opportunity, and I realize that maybe tech isn't exactly what I want to be doing === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:55] politicians should have a broad set of knowledge, most don't seem to [05:55] especially in the US [05:56] Burgundavia: why not the tech industry? you seem to fit in very well [05:56] and the CC thing should really help you with exposure to other Linux companies [05:56] because I enjoy using computers to do things, not for their own sake [05:58] Burgundavia: having a broad range of knowledge will help you move until you find something you are comfortable with [05:58] it might be harder to find specific work, but it reallt opens up your options [05:59] yep [06:00] hence why I am doing community college for a year, then transfer to a university [06:00] nice, well, you're on your way, that's the important part :D [06:00] indeed [06:02] Burgundavia: how old are you? === zerbero_2 [n=jga@pd9527d86.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:02] 24 [06:03] ah, right, I though you where older [06:03] *thought [06:03] now I feel old [06:03] lol [06:03] right [06:03] how old are you, boredandblogging [06:03] ?
