| dinda | valorie; are we not enough for ya? ;) | 00:57 |
| valorie | lol | 00:57 |
| valorie | just trying to get my head around how cool it is | 00:57 |
| valorie | :-) | 00:57 |
| dinda | valorie: I'm sure there will be tons of folks for you to meet | 00:57 |
| valorie | yup | 00:57 |
| dinda | I think maco too | 00:57 |
| valorie | oh yes | 00:57 |
| dinda | what about czajkowski? | 00:57 |
| valorie | but I've known her for years | 00:57 |
| valorie | just don't happen to have met "IRL" | 00:58 |
| valorie | maco and I met on MySpace | 00:58 |
| valorie | LOLOL | 00:58 |
| maco | valorie taught me to use irc | 00:59 |
| valorie | did I? | 00:59 |
| valorie | I'm sure I urged you on | 00:59 |
| maco | you told me about #linuxchix and i said i didnt know how to irc so you explained xchat to me | 00:59 |
| valorie | how cool is that | 01:00 |
| valorie | the circle of life | 01:00 |
| akgraner | valorie, woo hoo!!! Can't wait to see you again... | 04:46 |
| valorie | this time we might be able to squeeze in more than a hug | 04:47 |
| valorie | lol | 04:47 |
| valorie | I'm so happy | 04:47 |
| akgraner | Valorie - I'll have to make my personal Calendar available so you all can remind me to keep some white space on it during UDS :-) | 04:48 |
| valorie | lol | 04:48 |
| akgraner | I gave out about 35 cards with UW information on it women who are already using and know about Ubuntu - they had never heard of of the Ubuntu Women Project | 04:49 |
| valorie | that's awesome | 04:49 |
| akgraner | and were pleasantly surprised to know the project existed - They all wanted to know how they could become an active contributor | 04:50 |
| akgraner | which goes great with the mentorship re-vamping stuff | 04:50 |
| nigelb | \o/ | 04:51 |
| akgraner | I am more convinced after Grace Hopper that preaching to the chore at things like Linux Fests don't always hit the mark | 04:53 |
| valorie | for sure | 04:53 |
| akgraner | The Grace Hopper Celebration in Atlanta was the most rewarding event that I have attended to date for me personally | 04:54 |
| akgraner | I was blown away with the abundance of absolute abundance of talented technical women! | 04:55 |
| valorie | I was really happy to hear that you were attending | 04:56 |
| valorie | and I think we need to do more of that stuff | 04:56 |
| akgraner | I left with a list a mile long of things I want to know more about | 04:56 |
| valorie | Goat shows too | 04:56 |
| valorie | :-) | 04:56 |
| akgraner | :-) | 04:56 |
| akgraner | Linux Fund handed out CD's at a state fair recently - over 300,000 people attended the fair | 04:56 |
| akgraner | I applied for the GNOME internship as well | 04:57 |
| valorie | cool! | 04:58 |
| akgraner | now I have to figure out how to contribute to GNOME between now and October 25th in the Marketing Area | 04:58 |
| akgraner | as that was the project area I chose and you have to be contributing already to be considered | 04:58 |
| valorie | going to grace hopper etc. isn't marketing? | 05:03 |
| maco | i think it means making marketing materials | 05:09 |
| nigelb | Also, it might mean gnome marketting rather than Ubuntu marketting | 05:39 |
| maco | yes it does | 05:40 |
| nigelb | and I should learn that marketing has only one 't' | 05:40 |
| valorie | I imagine about now, GNOME means "not ubuntu" | 05:42 |
| valorie | for awhile | 05:42 |
| valorie | quite a few hurt feeling on both sides | 05:42 |
| maco | well marketing a specific distro isnt the same as marketing gnome *overall* | 05:43 |
| maco | because ya know...fedora's good too! and umm i cant think of any other gnome-centric dist...oh duh. debian | 05:43 |
| nigelb | suse? | 05:43 |
| maco | nah suse is overwhelmingly kde | 05:43 |
| nigelb | oh | 05:43 |
| maco | mandriva is also very kde | 05:44 |
| elky | too german a company to be gnome :P | 05:44 |
| nigelb | debian is not just one DE though | 05:44 |
| JanC | there are at least a 100 GNOME-centric distros ;) | 05:44 |
| nigelb | elky: lol | 05:44 |
| maco | elky: heh right | 05:44 |
| maco | JanC: i just dont know which ones they are | 05:44 |
| maco | nigelb: gnome is on disc 1 and kde is on disc 2 iirc | 05:44 |
| nigelb | there's a bunch of ubuntu derivatives | 05:44 |
| elky | and once you remove the ubuntu derivatives, there's like 5? | 05:44 |
| maco | ahah | 05:44 |
| nigelb | lol | 05:45 |
| nigelb | ubuntu, debian, fedora => wat else? :p | 05:45 |
| nigelb | g25 | 05:45 |
| * svaksha wonders if the gnome internship is meant only for students | 05:45 | |
| nigelb | Nope. | 05:45 |
| * svaksha thought it was | 05:46 | |
| czajkowski | good morning | 08:40 |

| akgraner | hey check it out - it's the pic of women in open source from Grace Hopper celebration - http://www.flickr.com/photos/gailcarmichael/5041629521/in/set-72157624932418433/ | 18:41 |
| valorie | y'all look like you are having fun! | 18:42 |
| MarkDude | Cool pic. There are some badass women in that photo :) | 18:44 |
| akgraner | valorie, we had a blast! | 18:45 |
| akgraner | MarkDude, I am hoping some of their awesomeness rubbed off on me - I learned so much from just working the booth with them | 18:46 |
| MarkDude | Well, what about some of Deb's tattoos? Are you gonna rock some sleeves? | 18:47 |
| akgraner | I'll never tell :-) | 18:47 |
| MarkDude | :D | 18:48 |
| IdleOne | is that a Fedora tat? | 18:50 |
| IdleOne | on the right shoulder | 18:50 |
| IdleOne | indeed it is, or sure looks like it. cool | 18:51 |
| AlanBell | http://www.flickr.com/photos/gailcarmichael/5042233858/in/set-72157624932418433/lightbox/ | 18:52 |
| AlanBell | looks very much like it | 18:52 |
| IdleOne | yup | 18:53 |
| MarkDude | Thats a temp tattoo | 18:53 |
| MarkDude | They give them to Fedora Ambassadors as SWAG | 18:53 |
| IdleOne | Guess they don't have true Fedora nuts like we do in Ubuntu :P | 18:54 |
| MarkDude | I have some pics of my nephew wearing a few of them. | 18:54 |
| * MarkDude wore some to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, kept forgetting I had them on, until I got looks. Proud Uncle I am - so I did not mind | 18:55 | |
| nigelb | oh, this is sweet! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gailcarmichael/5042233532/in/set-72157624932418433/ | 19:07 |
| nigelb | akgraner: priceless look on your face :D | 19:07 |
| akgraner | hehe | 19:24 |
