doctormoMorning both16:22
nigelbMorning doctormo16:23
doctormogreg-g: I was playing with the idea of getting one of those hot community management jobs... then I realised how busy jono gets and thought better of it.16:23
jcastroI would rather kill myself than deal with that16:24
nigelbdoctormo: Hey, did you think of user days and if you want to do something?16:24
jcastrook, suicide might be a little strong16:24
jcastromaybe just eyeballing my own eyeballs out with rusted spoons16:24
nigelbjcastro: btw, you want to take a session at user day?  ;)16:24
jcastrolink?16:24

nigelboh, I should talk to sil!16:26
nigelbwith that, I opened my 90th window16:26
greg-gdoctormo: dependson the community's needs, of course. Ubuntu is just a dang needy community ;)16:26
doctormonigelb: What do you want teaching? Graphics/wacom, bug reporting, something to do with midi or sound, or perhaps setting up printers or scanners?16:27
jcastromaybe I could represent the couch potato community16:27
doctormogreg-g: Worse than the creative commons community?16:27
nigelbdoctormo: user oriented, don't kill them ;)16:27
doctormojcastro: Have you ever been a wife to a couch potato? You'd be running in and out with drinks and chips all day.16:28
jcastroor beer and pizza16:28
doctormonigelb: Making graphics in inkscape it is, fun skillz and all that jazz.16:29
greg-gdoctormo: hmmm, well, the CC community is a ton different than Ubuntu's. TONS less governance structure to worry about.16:29
nigelbdoctormo: but would 1 hour of IRC be enough for that?16:29
doctormogreg-g: did you see my free culture poster? was meaning to get your feedback.16:30
jcastroI take pride in never reading our governance. *shifty eyes*16:30
greg-gI *think*, link?16:30
doctormojcastro: I thought our governance was JFDI?16:30
greg-gjcastro: bad boy16:30
jcastrodoctormo: INDEED IT IS.16:30
doctormogreg-g: We're on revision 11 of the text... http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/en/material/poster/free-culture-poster16:31
doctormonigelb: I think 1 hour will be enough to cover an introduction.16:31
doctormonigelb: What I might need is some sort of visual display... which is the problem with IRC.16:31
nigelbahhh :|16:31
greg-gdoctormo: I have some comments I'll give later tonight, cool?16:36
