[16:49] <sodarock_laptop> Mithrandir: cool, so where are people meeting up at?
[16:54] <Mithrandir> sodarock_laptop: the hotel; hotel at mit.
[16:56] <sodarock_laptop> Mithrandir: thanks.

[17:55] <maxi2> anything new with mobile develop environment?
[18:00] <mypapit> eh
[18:00] <maxi2> namely?
[18:00] <mypapit> nah nothing new
[18:01] <mypapit> just fooling around with hildon/python
[18:01] <maxi2> i heard there is team which takes care of mobile kernel?
[18:02] <sodarock_laptop> maxi2: amit is the guy who does most of the kernel work for UME
[18:02] <sodarock_laptop> I believe
[18:02] <sodarock_laptop> Though our guys (moblin.org) do try to push our work to amit
[18:02] <maxi2> sodarock_laptop: thanks. any docs regarding the mobile kernel
[18:03] <sodarock_laptop> http://www.moblin.org/
[18:03] <maxi2> i'll check it out.
[18:03] <sodarock_laptop> http://www.moblin.org/projects_kernel.php though it is hasn't been updated real recently.
[18:03] <sodarock_laptop> So not sure if it is out of date or not.  That isn't my area.
[18:03] <maxi2> i tried to join the team on the launchpad, but it seems no one cares...
[18:04] <sodarock_laptop> I do the moblin image creator stuff
[18:04] <Mithrandir> maxi2: people are accepted into the team after they have contributed code, not before.
[18:04] <sodarock_laptop> Well this is a good channel to make contacts.  
[18:04] <Mithrandir> well, code, or other contributions.
[18:04] <sodarock_laptop> I bought them lots of beer and so I got accepted ;)  LOL.
[18:05] <maxi2> wooo... thats quick channel
[18:05] <sodarock_laptop> Mithrandir: this network connection doesn't seem to be all that fast here.
[18:06] <Mithrandir> sodarock_laptop: correct. :-P
[18:06] <sodarock_laptop> I'm looking forward to going and getting a steak at Ruth's Chris steakhouse tonight! :)  Yum Yum.
[18:06] <maxi2> looking at mentoring thing on the launchpad, it seems like there is no much taking place in mobile area.
[18:07] <sodarock_laptop> maxi2: there is a lot going on.  You should subscribe to the ubuntu-mobile mailing list.  Lot of traffic there.  And a lot at the dev@moblin.org mailing list.
[18:11] <maxi2> i did subscribe ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com, it seems like 2 mail per day.
[18:12] <sodarock_laptop> Usually I see more than that, but there is a lot of work going on in regards to mobile.
[18:12] <sodarock_laptop> The dev@moblin.org mailing list is probably a bit more busy.
[18:12] <maxi2> i will try it out.
[18:15] <maxi2> done! now bomb me.
[18:19] <maxi2> i think it not a bad idea to have some kinda IDE with emulators to facilitate the development of mobile apps.
[18:26] <sodarock_laptop> maxi2: not sure how much traffic there will be this week, since a few of us are either at UDS or other conferences.  Though our kernel guys (moblin.org) are at the office this week.
[18:28] <maxi2>  sodarock_laptop:  thanks for ur info.  
[18:28] <sodarock_laptop> no problem.
[18:28] <maxi2> so u are  based in boston?
[18:29] <sodarock_laptop> No, I'm based in Oregon.  Though I maybe moving to Boston, for work.  Or maybe moving to Europe for work.  But both of those are aways away in time.
[18:31] <maxi2> i am currently europe
[18:35] <sodarock_laptop> maxi2: cool, I want to go over there and work for 1-5 years, and see how I like it.  Not sure which EU country is best for Linux or Python work.
[18:37] <maxi2> europe is definitively for linux. the city administration in munich in germany, for example, is completely switching to linux.
[18:39] <sodarock_laptop> I guess I need to learn German :)  Though my former college roommate, who is German, said I could probably be okay not knowing German to get a job in IT.  I assume I would learn it fast enough if I was living in Germany.
[18:42] <maxi2> well, it depends on where are you going in germany. In big city like munich or berlin etc. you wont have any problem surviving w/o knowing the language.
[18:43] <maxi2> i am not native german myself. ;=)
[18:44] <sodarock_laptop> maxi2: well hopefully you know the language now :)
[18:45] <maxi2> yes. I am now teaching in Uni.
[18:45] <sodarock_laptop> Hopefully not teach German ;)  That was a joke at College, taking English classes from a non-native English speaker.
[18:45] <sodarock_laptop> s/teach/teaching/
[18:46] <maxi2> haha. you right. I am CS guy. so ...
