[00:22] <akgraner> blame miscommunication on me  - not sure how I didn't explain it well  - but I did..
[01:01] <pleia2> ok, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu is all done
[01:01] <pleia2> prolly should link the video and stuff
[02:09] <IdleOne> I really like Jen Phillips's story.
[02:11] <valorie> is that the bus/train/car/wings one?
[02:11] <valorie> if so, me too
[02:12] <IdleOne> yes it is
[02:12] <valorie> the metaphor is so simple
[02:12] <valorie> makes a charming story
[02:12] <IdleOne> yup
[02:13] <IdleOne> didn't really fit into the scope of How she got into ubuntu but still made an impression on me
[02:13] <IdleOne> then again maybe it did
[02:13] <IdleOne> heh
[02:13] <pleia2> sure it did :)
[02:14] <IdleOne> in any case. I LIKED IT! and that is all that matters :P
[02:14] <pleia2> me too
[02:15] <IdleOne> I was a little disappointed when she went back to using the bus but I could see there was light at the end of the tunnel
[02:15] <valorie> haha, IdleOne
[02:16] <IdleOne> more disappointed for her though. Once you have learned to fly, it is a drag to have to go back to waiting for a bus :)
[02:17] <IdleOne> am I taking the story to personal?
[02:17] <IdleOne> lol
[02:17] <valorie> there are pilots in real life who still use the other modes of transport
[02:17] <valorie> :-)
[02:17] <valorie> where's my jetpack?
[02:20] <IdleOne> valorie: I am sure they are always a little sad when they have to land again
[04:49] <akgraner> hey 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 :-)
[04:50] <akgraner> Thanks :-)
[04:52] <elky> i think pleia2 can handle that stuff, just a matter of if she's round i guess
[04:53] <elky> hmm, she's not listed... svaksha is though
[04:58] <pleia2> nope, not me
[05:07] <nhandler> Well, 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 though
[05:14] <pleia2> there arent, i think svaksha is the only one on irc
[05:14] <pleia2> we've had this problem before :\
[05:15] <nhandler> Well, if you can't get a hold of any of them, you could probably file an RT ticket to gain access to the list
[05:19] <pleia2> I'm sure someone will turn up :)
[05:32] <nhandler> akgraner: I just got the version sent to the news-team. I'll post it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it
[06:14] <elky> akgraner, feel free to get me added to the mod list if you like
[06:15] <elky> you get to do stuff like mail rt@u.c and request stuff like that now that you're the grand poobah
[07:01] <pleia2> cool, a fellow from a loco left me a message asking how we did our contest
[07:01]  * pleia2 told him to drop by here
[07:01] <pleia2> and gave him the basics
[07:01] <pleia2> we are inspiring others in the community \o/
[07:18] <elky> w00t
[07:41] <dholbach> good morning
[07:54] <valorie> Mamarok: how are you doing?
[07:55] <Mamarok> hi valorie :)
[07:55] <valorie> :-)
[08:02] <czajkowski> aloha
[10:35] <elky> yay nigelb!
[10:36] <AlanBell> yay!
[10:36] <nigelb> AlanBell: I think I'm in shock
[10:37] <elky> :)
[10:37] <elky> for those not there, he ended up with 2 of the board giving testimony and got unanimous +1
[10:39] <valorie> high fives!
[10:40] <nigelb> thanks valorie :)
[10:40] <czajkowski> nigelb: well done
[10:40] <nigelb> thanks czajkowski :)
[10:40] <nigelb> I guess reading the logs of membership meetings helped
[13:23] <akgraner> nhandler - thanks!  elky pleia2 I'll look into mailing list stuff today :-)
[13:25] <elky> if 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 whimpering
[13:26] <akgraner> elky, I don't do whimpering well - but I have been known to whine upon occasion ;-P
[13:27] <elky> well, /they/ are the ones whimpering
[13:27]  * elky hands akgraner a strong coffee
[13:29] <akgraner> I need an IV drip of strong coffee :-)
[13:31]  * elky knows who'se going to be first in line for the 32oz starbucks frappes
[13:33] <akgraner> you got it!  I'm already developing a habit for the large Caramel Coffee Frappes at McDonalds - drop the kids off at school - then zip through the drive through the back home to handle the day :-)
[13:34] <MichelleQ> morning
[13:35] <akgraner> MichelleQ, hey!
[13:36] <MichelleQ> I am drastically undercaffenated this morning.  Gah.
[13:38] <akgraner> MichelleQ, that is a serious issue - you gotta fix that at once
[13:38] <MichelleQ> I'm headed to drop a child off for dance, and then to go get some caffeine.
[13:38] <akgraner> :-)
[13:39] <MichelleQ> need to figure out a way to sufficiently embarrass the hubs today.  It's his birthday!
[13:47] <czajkowski> akgraner: boo
[13:47] <akgraner> czajkowski, howdy :-)
[13:48] <czajkowski> doody
[13:48] <czajkowski> :)
[13:49] <akgraner> :-P
[13:50] <czajkowski> akgraner: I got 4+ hrs sleep, and cleared inbox so rather chuffed
[13:52]  * akgraner hands czajkowski a box of smiles and sunshine ;-p
[13:53] <dinda> geez, you folks are up early :)
[13:53] <dinda> akgraner: nice interview with emmajane :)
[13:53] <czajkowski> akgraner: we have spint also so am even happier
[13:53] <czajkowski> dinda: it's 13:53 here :)
[13:54] <dinda> czajkowski: I'm timezone impaired ;)
[13:54] <czajkowski> dinda: aye happens me somes, and akgraner doesnt help it either with her being awake at all hours also
[13:54] <dinda> czajkowski: I will be contacting you and a few others soon about beta testing the new desktop course
[13:55] <akgraner> czajkowski, spint?  or did you mean pints  - I never know with you :-P
[13:55] <akgraner> dinda, sweet!!!
[13:56] <czajkowski> dinda: great I just upgraded at the weekend, looking forward to this now
[13:56] <czajkowski> akgraner: spring
[13:56] <czajkowski> :)
[13:56] <czajkowski> even worse than usual I know
[13:56]  * czajkowski got a ton of NGO work done last night so that's what's  taken me so long 
[13:57] <czajkowski> taking peoples emails and comments and putting them into headings in one document so I can go create paper jams/bugs
[13:58] <akgraner> czajkowski, 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] <czajkowski> akgraner: dont spread yerself thin
[13:58] <czajkowski> tis all good
[13:58] <czajkowski> I know when and where to find you should I need your help
[13:59] <akgraner> czajkowski, nope "No" is fast becoming my new fav word and concept
[14:00] <akgraner> Oh one of my talks got picked up the the Texas Linux Fest!!!  :-)
[14:00] <czajkowski> akgraner: 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 well
[14:02] <akgraner> czajkowski, 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 days
[14:05] <czajkowski> wow
[14:05] <czajkowski> :p
[14:06] <akgraner> back not bag (but you know what I meant)
[14:07] <czajkowski> of course
[14:53] <elky> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Home <-- we can has bar announcing winners, whee
[15:31] <akgraner> elky, loving the home page and you and pleia2 are rocking with the story wiki page - thanks!!
[15:39] <czajkowski> akgraner: pics from the Skynet Ubuntu talk http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/370759
[15:40] <akgraner> czajkowski, thanks!
[23:44] <elky> For lols, a comment from a friend about the stories: "I like the idea of toilet graffiti playing a role in converting someone to Ubuntu."
[23:45] <IdleOne> gives a new meaning to what brown can do for you

[23:45]  * elky hits IdleOne over the head with an umbrella repeatedly
[23:45] <IdleOne> hahaha
[23:45] <elky> EWW!
[23:46] <elky> New channel rule: no poo jokes, or you get smacked with an umbrella
[23:46] <IdleOne> repeatedly in the head
[23:46] <elky> YES!
[23:49] <IdleOne> I wish career builder would stop sending me recommendations to jobs that have nothing to do with my work history
