[00:22] blame miscommunication on me - not sure how I didn't explain it well - but I did.. [01:01] ok, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu is all done [01:01] prolly should link the video and stuff [02:09] I really like Jen Phillips's story. [02:11] is that the bus/train/car/wings one? [02:11] if so, me too [02:12] yes it is [02:12] the metaphor is so simple [02:12] makes a charming story [02:12] yup [02:13] didn't really fit into the scope of How she got into ubuntu but still made an impression on me [02:13] then again maybe it did [02:13] heh [02:13] sure it did :) [02:14] in any case. I LIKED IT! and that is all that matters :P [02:14] me too [02:15] 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] haha, IdleOne [02:16] 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] am I taking the story to personal? [02:17] lol [02:17] there are pilots in real life who still use the other modes of transport [02:17] :-) [02:17] where's my jetpack? [02:20] valorie: I am sure they are always a little sad when they have to land again [04:49] 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] Thanks :-) [04:52] i think pleia2 can handle that stuff, just a matter of if she's round i guess [04:53] hmm, she's not listed... svaksha is though [04:58] nope, not me [05:07] 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] there arent, i think svaksha is the only one on irc [05:14] we've had this problem before :\ [05:15] 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] I'm sure someone will turn up :) [05:32] akgraner: I just got the version sent to the news-team. I'll post it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it [06:14] akgraner, feel free to get me added to the mod list if you like [06:15] you get to do stuff like mail rt@u.c and request stuff like that now that you're the grand poobah === robertwall is now known as rww [07:01] 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] and gave him the basics [07:01] we are inspiring others in the community \o/ [07:18] w00t [07:41] good morning [07:54] Mamarok: how are you doing?

[10:40] thanks valorie :) [10:40] nigelb: well done [10:40] thanks czajkowski :) [10:40] I guess reading the logs of membership meetings helped [13:23] nhandler - thanks! elky pleia2 I'll look into mailing list stuff today :-) [13:25] 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] elky, I don't do whimpering well - but I have been known to whine upon occasion ;-P [13:27] well, /they/ are the ones whimpering [13:27] * elky hands akgraner a strong coffee [13:29] 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] 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] morning [13:35] MichelleQ, hey! [13:36] I am drastically undercaffenated this morning. Gah. [13:38] MichelleQ, that is a serious issue - you gotta fix that at once [13:38] I'm headed to drop a child off for dance, and then to go get some caffeine. [13:38] :-) [13:39] need to figure out a way to sufficiently embarrass the hubs today. It's his birthday! [13:47] akgraner: boo [13:47] czajkowski, howdy :-) [13:48] doody [13:48] :) [13:49] :-P [13:50] 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] geez, you folks are up early :) [13:53] akgraner: nice interview with emmajane :) [13:53] akgraner: we have spint also so am even happier [13:53] dinda: it's 13:53 here :) [13:54] czajkowski: I'm timezone impaired ;) [13:54] dinda: aye happens me somes, and akgraner doesnt help it either with her being awake at all hours also [13:54] czajkowski: I will be contacting you and a few others soon about beta testing the new desktop course [13:55] czajkowski, spint? or did you mean pints - I never know with you :-P [13:55] dinda, sweet!!! [13:56] dinda: great I just upgraded at the weekend, looking forward to this now [13:56] akgraner: spring [13:56] :) [13:56] 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] taking peoples emails and comments and putting them into headings in one document so I can go create paper jams/bugs [13:58] 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] akgraner: dont spread yerself thin [13:58] tis all good [13:58] I know when and where to find you should I need your help [13:59] czajkowski, nope "No" is fast becoming my new fav word and concept [14:00] Oh one of my talks got picked up the the Texas Linux Fest!!! :-) [14:00] 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] 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] wow [14:05] :p [14:06] back not bag (but you know what I meant) [14:07] of course [14:53] http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Home <-- we can has bar announcing winners, whee [15:31] elky, loving the home page and you and pleia2 are rocking with the story wiki page - thanks!!

[23:44] 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] gives a new meaning to what brown can do for you [23:45] [23:45] * elky hits IdleOne over the head with an umbrella repeatedly [23:45] hahaha [23:45] EWW! [23:46] New channel rule: no poo jokes, or you get smacked with an umbrella [23:46] repeatedly in the head [23:46] YES!
