pleia2yay20:41
pleia2valorie: probably more appropriate to talk over here ;) it's 69 cents per copy for color, so yeah I'll probably just go b&w21:31
pleia2the pdf on Resources is optimized for non-us paper, so I'm also modifying the svg for US + B&W printing21:32
valorieif we have pretty paper, it will still look good21:32
* pleia2 nods21:33
valorieand if we have bus. cards, we won't need a lot -- just a few attention-grabbers21:33
pleia2yeah, if people want more info21:33
pleia2I'll see how much pretty paper costs, I might just do 10021:33
valorieCLS might use more, although I'm not gonna be handing stuff out there21:33
valorieI don't think there are tables there21:34
valorieit's an unconf.21:34
pleia2yeah21:34
valoriemight do a talk21:34
pleia2yay :D21:34
valorieif I can get my head together21:34

AlanBellhi, which country are you in now?22:40
dinda_old22:41
dindaack, wrong kb sorry22:41
czajkowskimaco: what does MOTU stand for ?22:58
AlanBellMasters of the Universe22:58
AlanBellwhich is a He Man reference22:58
AlanBelland She-Ra too of course22:59
czajkowskihmm22:59
czajkowskihow to explain that in a slide22:59
czajkowskibah22:59
AlanBellput up a picture of she-ra and have done with it22:59
czajkowskihehe23:00
Pendulumor just put MOTU = Masters of the Universe and explain what a MOTU does23:00
czajkowskiMOTU - Developers in Ubuntu ;)23:00
AlanBellwell the point is that the repos are main, universe, multiverse23:00
AlanBelland the MOTUs can muck about in universe23:00
AlanBellas I understand it23:01
AlanBellalthough "muck about" may be a bit too flipant a term for the serious work they do :-)23:01
czajkowskilol23:01
czajkowskitrue23:01
czajkowskigah I'm talking in front of CLC and I keep forgetting what it stands for23:02
czajkowskithis is not going to go well23:02
czajkowskiand I've to leave Castleconnell in 2 hrs23:02
AlanBellHe-Man fought skeletor, who did She-Ra fight?23:02
AlanBellCity Learning Centre23:03
AlanBellShe was only allowed to destroy robotic enemies which were her primary foes.23:04
valorieAlanBell knows a great deal about this23:05
valorie;-)23:05
AlanBellhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra23:05
AlanBellthere is nothing worth knowing that wikipedia does not know23:06
valorieI remember all the boys in the summer watching the cartoon beginning23:06
valorieall holding up their imaginary swords23:06
valorieI HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!23:06
valoriehilarious23:06
valoriebut why didn't little girls have the same?23:07
valoriethat makes me sad23:07
AlanBellI actually don't blame the parents23:07
AlanBellif anyone thinks I want, or am encouraging, my son to pick up anything long, heavy and dangerous and run about the house pretending it is a light sabre they are wrong.23:09
valoriethey were imaginary swords23:19
valoriealthough there are some light-weight plastic toy ones on the market23:19
valorieI would have loved to learn how to sword-fight, though23:20
AlanBellyeah, I don't exactly encourage them either. Air guitars yes, air swords, not so much23:20
valorieit's very acrobatic23:20
* valorie was a tomboy23:20
valorieI wanted to shoot, and fish, and climb trees23:20
valorieand did23:20
valoriebut also could cook my fish, bake a pie23:21
valorieetc.23:21
valorieI think those should be human skills23:21
valorieit's just -- those boys had a *moment*23:21
valorietogether23:21
valoriethere is nothing like that for girls23:21
AlanBellbet there is23:23
AlanBellprobably singing into hairbrushes as microphones or something like that though23:24
valoriethat isn't *powerful* though23:27
valoriethere are plenty of bonding experiences, certainly23:27
