[08:17] good morning [09:25] czajkowski: which Mark was the Mark in the ngo team notes? [09:26] Mark A. Hershberger [09:27] thanks [09:27] no bother [09:28] czajkowski: did the guy who gave the talk later on give you the list of groups of websites and list of organisations? [09:28] dholbach: Andrew, nope he's just sent me an email asking for the gobby doc as he couldn't find it [09:28] dholbach: shall poke him about that [09:29] ok, so I'll assign the work item to you [09:29] ROCK :) [09:30] grand :) [13:31] Morning [13:31] hiya [13:31] hi Pendulum [13:32] aloha [13:32] hi laura [13:32] good... afternoon! everybody! [13:33] highvoltage: missed you! [13:33] I should be there next time at least :) [13:33] excellen [13:33] highvoltage: so do you have your Canadian Visa yet? [13:34] czajkowski: I begged them more than month ago to send me my passport so long so that I can at least go to the uds... until today I got absolutely no response back from the Canadian Embassy [13:34] mate of mine is living over there and has her application returned 4 times, they are driving her somewhat more insane than she already was [13:35] czajkowski: I mailed them by registerd post today telling them that I have missed the conference and that they don't need to send it back anymore until the visa application is approved... hopefully that won't take too much longer [13:36] czajkowski: there was a South African recently who got assylum in Canada because he said that all the black people in South Africa wants to kill all the white people... and he actually got assylum [13:37] since then a lot of crazies have been applying for all kinds of canadian visas... I think that's messing it up for people like me who just want to go over for 2-3 months [13:37] highvoltage: Visa process is always a mess [13:38] * txwikinger has gone through too many of those [13:38] However the Canadian High Commission was very good when we got our immigration visas [13:43] txwikinger: yeah I guess it's a bit of a gamble. sometimes you'll have a great experience and other times not, and it might just be luck of the draw what kind of service you get [13:44] highvoltage: true [13:45] highvoltage: Which area of Canada do you want to visit? [13:45] txwikinger: Quebec [13:45] Ah cool
