[15:34] <jamie> morning everyone
[16:48] <iheartubuntu> hi yall. is there a list of the days events for SCaLE?  I can only find special events stuff.
[16:49] <jamie> if scale is for southern cal is there ever a norcal event?
[16:54] <iheartubuntu> jamie there are various conferences that happen all around the world. i think there is a linux related one coming to SF in a few months. i will have to search around. im sure there is a list of all 2011 conferences
[16:55] <jamie> cool if you hear of one let me know
[16:56] <iheartubuntu> Jan/29/2011 - Jan/31/2011 Fedora Users & Devs Conference, Tempe, Arizona

[17:15] <iheartubuntu> would anyone happen to know how to transfer a blogger blog to wordpress? im looking for something more open source than blogger, but easy to maintain.
[17:17] <MarkDude> squarespace allows importing *and exporting* even if you just are using their free 2 week trial
[17:18] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: wordpress has an import tool
[17:18] <pleia2> tools > import
[17:19] <pleia2> can import from blogger, livejournal, etc
[17:19] <MarkDude> Even better idea :)
[17:19] <iheartubuntu> wow nice
[17:19] <iheartubuntu> thx
[17:20] <pleia2> most of the big blogging sites have this tool, it's an important feature for a lot of bloggers
[17:20] <pleia2> lock-in is not cool :)
[17:21] <pleia2> I had to manually import livejournal when I moved to wordpress, it was a little painful since LJ only lets you export month-by-month and I had something like 4 years worth
[17:21] <pleia2> but at least they offered it
[17:21] <iheartubuntu> is wordpress fairly easy to manipulate?
[17:22] <pleia2> in what sense?
[17:22] <MarkDude> Makes sense. I know Squarespace is not fully FOSS friendly, but, I can appreciate they are not a walled garden
[17:25] <jtatum> wordpress.com
[17:26] <iheartubuntu> i wonder if wordpress can import my web layout too or is it just posts and comments
[17:27] <iheartubuntu> and if i do import within wordpress, will my blogger blog still be active or empty?
[17:27] <iheartubuntu> nervous about doing this! :) ive got like 4 year invested in my blog
[17:31] <pleia2> it should just export an xml or similar file from blogger, not delete anything (some people use this as a backup method, so it would be very broken of blogger to delete)
[17:31] <pleia2> and you'd have to confirm about comments moving
[17:32] <pleia2> certainly posts will
[19:00] <pleia2> hmm, dagobah
[19:04] <MarkDude> What about Yoda?
[19:08] <pleia2> the server grantbow sshes from is down
[19:09] <pleia2> the host machine is down :\
[19:09] <MarkDude> Oh, Hmm
[20:49] <MarkDude> Any Python folks willing to move to Portland for work?
[20:52] <MarkDude> myemma is hiring
[21:00] <pleia2> I might have to skip mt view ubuntu hour this time, I think my todo list has become sentient and started adding things to itself
[21:00] <pleia2> (I couldn't possibly have agreed to all of this!)
[21:03] <jtatum> doh
[21:03] <jtatum> gl with the list.. we'll see you at the next one maybe :)
[21:05] <pleia2> thanks, mostly this has come about because work has been so intense lately, I am not as productive in the evenings as usual
