[16:58] <czajkowski> UDS-N has been annonced
[17:04] <IdleOne> :( Not in a country I can visit
[17:05] <rww> I can, though ☺
[17:05] <rww> wrong side of the country, but still
[17:05] <IdleOne> time zone will make it a lot easier for me to participate remotely
[17:06] <IdleOne> wait! maybe if I fly to Cuba and get citizenship, then swim my butt to Florida...
[17:07] <IdleOne> I will be granted asylum
[17:07] <IdleOne> The plan is perfect.
[17:07] <IdleOne> NOTHING CAN GO WRONG!
[17:09] <maco> IdleOne: wait the US isnt a country you can visit as a canadian?
[17:09] <maco> IdleOne: didnt you used to live here?
[17:10] <IdleOne> maco: long story, but yes
[17:10] <maco> did you get deported back to canuckistan?
[17:10] <IdleOne> I did
[17:11] <IdleOne> well not exactly
[17:11] <IdleOne> in essence
[17:11] <IdleOne> like I said, long story
[17:12] <maco> czajkowski: where'd that person get the info?
[17:12] <maco> jono hasnt blogged it yet
[17:13] <AlanBell> undacovabrutha /is/ the info. Robbie the release manager
[17:13] <AlanBell> maco: and it is right :-)
[17:13] <maco> AlanBell: i know its right. someone else at canonical told me it an hour ago
[17:13] <maco> oh that's robbie's?
[17:14] <rww> I thought Steve Langasek was the release manager :\
[17:14] <AlanBell> someone else let it slip last week
[17:14] <maco> twitter's a funny place to announce something like that
[17:14] <AlanBell> rww: oops, he is the platform lead
[17:15]  * IdleOne waits for an official announcement
[17:17] <IdleOne> rww: From your statement I assume you plan on going to UDS?
[17:20] <AlanBell> rww: robbie sets the dates http://old.nabble.com/UDS-11.04,-11.10-and-12.04-dates-td28811471.html
[17:20] <AlanBell> I mean IdleOne:
[17:22] <rww> IdleOne: I'm hoping to, yeah
[17:23] <AlanBell> it isn't in hurricane season or anything is it?
[17:23] <maco> no hurricane season will be over by then
[17:28]  * maco finds it odd that itd be announced on a proprietary platform like twitter instead of an open one
[17:29] <pleia2> well, twitter reaches more people
[17:30] <pleia2> hmm, orlando, that's better than rumored miami
[17:30] <pleia2> I have family there, might actually be possible to do family+uds trip
[17:30] <maco> then cross-post!
[17:30] <AlanBell> I wonder if it will be at the home of the mouse
[17:31] <maco> but twitter certainly doesnt reach a decent portion of the free software community, as a decent portion of us refuse to use it
[17:31] <pleia2> AlanBell: haha, I'd totally go then, quit my job
[17:31] <AlanBell> I have been to a conference in the Swan and Dolphin resort
[17:31] <pleia2> maco: it's really a hassle to maintain two accounts and keep nicks straight on both, for me it's not a matter of "refusing" it's "I can't be bothered"
[17:32]  * AlanBell can't be bothered with Identi.ca either
[17:32] <maco> but really, it should be announced on planet ubuntu
[17:32] <rww> I can't be bothered with twitter, so I guess I balance one of you out ;P
[17:32] <maco> not spread through the twitter rumour mill
[17:33] <maco> reallly... on the Fridg
[17:33] <maco> *Fridge
[17:33] <AlanBell> I would have thought they would turn this on as the announcement http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-n/
[17:33] <maco> as opposed to the usual "oh well jono said it on his blog" ... cuz i think uds announcements are the main reason i /havent/ setup a filter that strips jono's posts from planet ubuntu before reaching my RSS reader
[17:36] <pleia2> yeah, it should be announced all over the place
[17:38] <czajkowski> aloha
[17:38] <AlanBell> hi czajkowski
[17:38] <czajkowski> greeting from ubuntu hour limerick
[17:39] <czajkowski> http://twitgoo.com/1evwpf
[17:39] <AlanBell> I should have sent the family over to join you there!
[17:39] <rww> heh, I think we have the same netbook

[17:39] <czajkowski> munster red
[17:40] <rww> ah, mini 10v in i think purple
[17:40]  * rww didn't know the mini 9 came in different colors too

[17:43] <pleia2> my mini9 came to our ubuntu hour on tuesday :) http://princessleia.com/images/journalpics/072010/mini9olpcatjulhour.jpg

[17:51] <czajkowski> yup
[17:51] <czajkowski> what i found works is a demo
[17:51] <czajkowski> so i  have demod the LD for 10-15 mins
[17:51] <czajkowski> and then we do a q&a
[17:52] <AlanBell> czajkowski: any sign of that reviveyourpc.ie person?
