| etank | thanks vorian | 02:29 |
| vorian | it's a bit confusing with the UTC | 02:29 |
| xq | yeah, skimmed the date | 02:30 |
| vorian | we have meetings so late, it's already another day UTC time | 02:30 |
| xq | and time, put a GCal entry for tonight (9PM EST) | 02:30 |
| xq | then realized the dates didn't match (on the Wiki page) and was like "uh oh" | 02:30 |
| xq | and of course the masterful etank was like "That's because it's already passed in UTC time!" | 02:31 |
| vorian | sounds like you need to use kontact :P | 02:32 |
| xq | or something ;) | 02:32 |
| xq | vorian and his KDE. | 02:32 |
| vorian | \o/ | 02:32 |
| xq | KDE is for the birds. | 02:33 |
| xq | And vorians. | 02:33 |
| xq | I've Evolutioned. ;p | 02:33 |
| vorian | no one is perfect, i suppose | 02:36 |

| wolter | etank, hey, you applied too? | 04:17 |
| xq | wolter: no, i shoved him in here :\ | 05:27 |
| wolter | Heh. | 05:27 |
| wolter | You applied. | 05:27 |
| wolter | I know because I saw you in the table =D. | 05:28 |
| xq | yea | 05:28 |
| wolter | right xq ? | 05:28 |
| wolter | hah | 05:28 |
| xq | and showed up on the wrong day | 05:28 |
| wolter | Have you been accepted yet? | 05:28 |
| xq | he did my dirty work for me | 05:28 |
| wolter | Yeah, me too :(. | 05:28 |
| wolter | etank did | 05:28 |
| wolter | ? | 05:28 |
| xq | I saw the March 6th and then skimmed for the time and saw the "9PM EST" | 05:28 |
| xq | And made it easy on myself and used it for my GCal entry | 05:29 |
| xq | But, of course, easy way isn't always the best ;) | 05:29 |
| xq | From now on I know always to use -the -link- and use UTC to for *everything* | 05:29 |
| wolter | Yeah. | 05:30 |
| wolter | Damn UTC. | 05:30 |
| wolter | It got me confused too. | 05:30 |
| wolter | It should be in GMT I say. | 05:30 |
| wolter | I know I am GMT-6. | 05:30 |
| xq | Well, I just skimmed and saw the date of March 6th then 9PM EST | 05:31 |
| xq | instead of using a time zone converter as I usually do | 05:31 |
| xq | But anyway, yeah same here for GMT | 05:31 |
| xq | And tomorrow it falls back at 2 AM EST ;) (well, across the U.S. it falls back one hour) | 05:32 |
| xq | Or wait, "spring" forward. | 05:32 |
| wolter | What falls back, sorry? | 05:33 |
| xq | Time in the U.S. | 05:34 |
| xq | This weekend | 05:34 |
| xq | But it's spring forward/set ahead one hour | 05:34 |
| xq | We gain an hour... | 05:34 |
| wolter | Oh... | 05:36 |
| wolter | Why are you applying for membership, mainly? | 05:36 |
| xq | Well, I've been a Linux user since around '94. Started with Slackware, shortly migrated to Debian. Then Ubuntu forever ago. Stated a LoCo a while back (2 years ago?), and would like to get it approved this year. | 05:39 |
| xq | I feel like I should be a "member" at least to have an active team. I'm also active in the community andstay active, so feel like I've reached that point. | 05:40 |
| xq | Kind of sums it up. | 05:40 |
| xq | I'm involved in a lot of open source things and love to help people. Love to give back to the community. This is just another way. | 05:40 |
| wolter | Well yeah, but what benefits are you looking forward to? | 05:40 |
| wolter | Or is it just being a member, by itself. | 05:40 |
| wolter | ? | 05:40 |
| xq | Just being a member, I guess, in and of itself. | 05:41 |
| xq | I guess having a say in the community council and elections is a perk. | 05:41 |
| xq | It also sets a good example within your own community (loCo, for me). | 05:43 |
| wolter | Oh. | 05:44 |
| wolter | Yeah. | 05:44 |
| wolter | Yeah, being a member of ubuntu would be representative of how much you've put into the community. | 05:44 |
| wolter | But I want the most my @ubuntu email. | 05:44 |
| xq | I see everything that comes with the approval as "perks," I guess. I don't really need them. They're good to have/nice to have, but I have other motiviations (like setting the example for member), or perhaps even just printing a business card with the Ubuntu logo for team purposes. | 05:47 |
| xq | I'm into marketing, so maybe it's just how I think. I don't know hehe. | 05:47 |
| xq | Never crossed my mind. | 05:47 |
| xq | @ubuntu.com would be nice for official reasons :) | 05:47 |
| wolter | Yeah... | 05:47 |
| wolter | I think it should be handed to non members as well... | 05:48 |
| wolter | maybe make a special one, like ubuntu-member | 05:48 |
| wolter | For only members. | 05:48 |
| wolter | The nice thing is that it is only an email forwarder. | 05:51 |
| wolter | So its no big deal for ubuntu. They don't have to handle big storage. | 05:51 |
| xq | yeppers | 05:59 |
| xq | well, off to bed i go | 05:59 |
| xq | good talking with you. have a good night :) | 05:59 |
