[04:50] <cactaur> Hm...
[04:50] <cactaur> Does #ubuntu-california no longer redirect?
[04:51] <rww> looks like it
[04:52] <rww> pleia2, DarkwingDuck, jdeslip: You should probably set /mode #ubuntu-california +if #ubuntu-us-ca
[04:57] <ryaxnb> new mythbusters here in PST, 9PM DSC, watch it, now
[04:57] <ryaxnb> Note: those with satellite already saw it at 6PM
[04:57] <ryaxnb> we get the delayed feed on cable
[04:58] <ryaxnb> in any case, the satellite gets a PST/EST feed that shows it again at 9PM IIRC, so watch it anyways if you havent already
[04:59] <ryaxnb> this is, IMO, the third most loved show on the internet after ST:TOS and ST:TNG
[05:00] <ryaxnb> very few people on the internet actually hate the mythbusters. you can dislike them, argue their theory or way of testing or reliance on explosives, you can argue the show went downhill or that the early episodes sucked (opinions vary) but hating it is pretty much impossible
[05:32] <pleia2> oops, I didn't realize it stopped redirecting
[05:33] <pleia2> mlocked
[05:33] <pleia3> and works :)
[05:34] <pleia2> thanks rww (and cactaur)
[16:38] <chip__> Hello Everyone! I am interested in joining the California Local Community group. My name is Arthur Dean, and I live in Irvine.
[16:39] <akk> Welcome, chip__
[16:40] <chip__> Thank you.
[16:41] <chip__> I have spent a few years studying Java, C, C++. and C#; but I do not have much practical experience. I'm looking to contribute in anyway I can.
[16:42] <chip__> Is anyone here from Socal?
[16:42] <akk> Mostly what the loco does is advocacy, social get-togethers, maintaining the website and things like that -- no programming needed
[16:43] <akk> though the new website may have some Google appengine stuff, which might involve programming for folks so inclined.
[16:43] <akk> There are definitely some SoCal people who hang out here.
[16:43] <akk> And a lot of people will be at SCALE in February (near LAX).
[16:47] <chip__> Sounds great, I would love to get some experience working with Google app engine.  I'd never heard of SCALE, but I will try to attend. is this it? scale.la?
[16:48] <akk> http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/
[16:48] <chip__> lol good thing I asked. :D
[16:48] <chip__> alright now that seems more on topic haha
[16:48] <akk> It's a great conference -- everything from beginner to developer stuff.
[16:49] <akk> Also very affordable, as conferences go.
[16:54] <chip__> I agree, even the full access pass is affordable! I'm signing up right now
[17:06] <chip__> Excellent, I completed registration. It will be my first Expo! I just moved to California from New Jersey, so it will be great to meet some people with common interests.
[17:06] <chip__> Thanks for telling me about it
[17:09] <akk> No prob. I'm sure you'll love it.
[17:29] <chip__> It was nice meeting you. Thanks again for your help.
[18:50] <erichammond> akk: There are also plenty of promo codes floating around that will give folks 50% of of SCALE registration.
[18:51] <erichammond> "SGVLU" - San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group (SGVLUG)
[18:51] <erichammond> "LAPM" - Los Angeles Perl Mongers (LA.pm)
[18:51] <akk> Nice. I hadn't seen any yet this year, and usually don't see any until about a month before the event.
[18:52] <erichammond> "ERIC" would give you 50% off last year, but I don't seem to have it this year :)
[18:57] <akk> Might be worth posting discount codes to the u-c list ...
[18:58] <erichammond> We could ask Gareth for an Ubuntu promo code if we're going to spread the news.  That way registrations can be tracked back to this group.
[19:05] <erichammond> Hm, Why isn't there a project page on the wiki for SCALE9x?  Is Ubuntu California not running a booth?
[19:05] <DarkwingDuck> We are.
[19:05] <DarkwingDuck> I have not had the time yet
[19:06]  * DarkwingDuck adds that to the pre-christmas todo list
[19:06] <erichammond> Is there a point person who is in contact with Gareth, or should I ask for the promo code?
[19:07] <DarkwingDuck> Yasumoto is
[19:10] <erichammond> cool, Yasumoto even has a @socallinuxexpo.org email address.
[19:11] <erichammond> I'll drop a note to Gareth and CC Yasumoto.
[19:11] <DarkwingDuck> Thanks erichammond, you want to toss up a wiki page?
[19:13] <erichammond> Heading offline for my commute...
[20:39] <StinkPot> whats an ubuntu
[21:46] <erichammond> Gareth has given the Ubuntu California Team the promo code "UBUCA" which will give 50% off of registration for SCaLE9x http://www.socallinuxexpo.org
[21:47] <erichammond> You don't have to be a member of Ubuntu California to use this promo code, and you are welcome to spread it far and wide when telling others about SCALE.
[21:47] <pleia2> thanks erichammond!
[21:48] <erichammond> If you sign up early with this promo code, a full pass is only $30 which is an amazing deal for the weekend.

[22:20] <jamalta> oh scale is coming up soon?
[22:21] <akk> February, not that soon.
[22:23] <jamalta> That's only two months!
[22:41] <erichammond> I just put a placeholder page in for SCaLE9x and included the Ubuntu California Team promo code.
[22:44] <akk> \o/
