pleia2ok, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu is all done01:01
pleia2prolly should link the video and stuff01:01
IdleOneI really like Jen Phillips's story.02:09
valorieis that the bus/train/car/wings one?02:11
valorieif so, me too02:11
IdleOneyes it is02:12
valoriethe metaphor is so simple02:12
valoriemakes a charming story02:12
IdleOneyup02:12
IdleOnedidn't really fit into the scope of How she got into ubuntu but still made an impression on me02:13
IdleOnethen again maybe it did02:13
IdleOneheh02:13
pleia2sure it did :)02:13
IdleOnein any case. I LIKED IT! and that is all that matters :P02:14
pleia2me too02:14
IdleOneI was a little disappointed when she went back to using the bus but I could see there was light at the end of the tunnel02:15
valoriehaha, IdleOne02:15
IdleOnemore disappointed for her though. Once you have learned to fly, it is a drag to have to go back to waiting for a bus :)02:16
IdleOneam I taking the story to personal?02:17
IdleOnelol02:17
valoriethere are pilots in real life who still use the other modes of transport02:17

valoriewhere's my jetpack?02:17
IdleOnevalorie: I am sure they are always a little sad when they have to land again02:20
akgranerhey any uw mailing list moderators around?  I just sent the email winner announcement to the list I included all the links for the news team to add it to the fridge I think it is awaiting moderation :-)04:49
akgranerThanks :-)04:50
elkyi think pleia2 can handle that stuff, just a matter of if she's round i guess04:52
elkyhmm, she's not listed... svaksha is though04:53
pleia2nope, not me04:58
nhandlerWell, the list admins are vid at svaksha.com, hangulanv at yahoo.com, alejandra.ruiz at gmail.com, jamfish728 at gmail.com . There might be more people with access though05:07
pleia2there arent, i think svaksha is the only one on irc05:14
pleia2we've had this problem before :\05:14
nhandlerWell, if you can't get a hold of any of them, you could probably file an RT ticket to gain access to the list05:15
pleia2I'm sure someone will turn up :)05:19
nhandlerakgraner: I just got the version sent to the news-team. I'll post it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it05:32
elkyakgraner, feel free to get me added to the mod list if you like06:14

akgranernhandler - thanks!  elky pleia2 I'll look into mailing list stuff today :-)13:23
elkyif you consider it borderline urgent, you could probably drop in to #canonical-sysadmin and mention the word "mailman" and head in the general direction of the whimpering13:25
akgranerelky, I don't do whimpering well - but I have been known to whine upon occasion ;-P13:26
elkywell, /they/ are the ones whimpering13:27
* elky hands akgraner a strong coffee13:27
akgranerI need an IV drip of strong coffee :-)13:29
* elky knows who'se going to be first in line for the 32oz starbucks frappes13:31

czajkowskitaking peoples emails and comments and putting them into headings in one document so I can go create paper jams/bugs13:57
akgranerczajkowski, that is great! I am really excited seeing the progress on the NGO front from cycle to cycle - I wish I could do more that just offer encouragement but plate is too full - and besides you all have a handle on it :-)13:58
czajkowskiakgraner: dont spread yerself thin13:58
czajkowskitis all good13:58
czajkowskiI know when and where to find you should I need your help13:58
akgranerczajkowski, nope "No" is fast becoming my new fav word and concept13:59
akgranerOh one of my talks got picked up the the Texas Linux Fest!!!  :-)14:00
czajkowskiakgraner: I look at it this way, I can only do so much, if I take on more sure I can prolly swing it, but means other stuff won't get done as well14:00
akgranerczajkowski, totally agree - so I just say - I want to help out but at this point in time I just cant take on any more, but check bag with me I think what you are doing is important (well if I think that it is).  that's my polite "no" these days14:02
