seidoshi all.  is anyone here a motu?  or interested in packaging?00:32
pleia2http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/04:02
pleia2unfortunately no option for time zone yet (makes it difficult for us to use) - but they are aware and trying to think through a solution :)04:02
jdeslipseidos: I have an app that I wrote that I am interested in getting into the repo's sometime soon04:27
pleia2jdeslip: jono get ahold of you?04:36
jdeslippleia2: Yep04:45
pleia2cool, going? :)04:45
akkIs there some event going on where developers can get their apps into the repos? :)04:46
pleia2dunno what seidos was talking about, but I recommended jono talk to jdeslip re: the dev tools review next week04:47
Eurekawiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited04:48
jdeslipYa, I think04:50
jdeslipI think so04:50
jdeslipI feel so weighed down everytime I install a windows-VM - it is such a commitment, keeping it patched :/04:51
* akk is really curious what these dev tools will be, looking forward to finding out04:52
akk(and hoping being a command-line-text-editor-geek doesn't cause problems)04:52
DarkwingDuckHey guys04:54
pleia2evening DarkwingDuck :)04:55
jdeslipHey DarkwingDuck04:55
jdeslipI booked my tickets and hotel room for scale! I'm excited to finally meet people04:56
jdeslipVisiting my GF's family in LA on Sunday, though.  Will only be at the conference Fri-Sat04:56
pleia2the booth is just up Sat-Sun04:57
jdeslipYa, I thought so.  So, I'll have to miss the Sunday session04:57
jdeslipThe other thing that brings me down about installing a windows-VM is the oracle logo that is now all over vbox05:00
pleia2yeah :(05:00
jdeslipI really wish my advisor didn't love obscure office features05:00
pleia2heh05:00
akkwhat a drag!05:00
jdeslipI am going to be happy in 11.04 when there is no longer an oracle logo on the built-in office suite05:01
DarkwingDuckI need to find a hotel. You staying at the Hilton?05:01
jdeslipYa, staying at hilton05:01
pleia2the conference rate is $11005:01
DarkwingDuckHow much was it a night?05:01
DarkwingDuck110 a night?05:02
pleia2yeah05:02
jdeslipI almost hotwire-ed it.  They had a 4star option for $79.  But, I was worried it wouldn't be the Hilton or close enough to it.05:02
DarkwingDuck110 a night isn't bad.. I'll have to book that when I get my next unemployment check05:03
pleia2yeah "airport hotels" always tend to be scattered over a 10 mile radius from the airport05:03
DarkwingDuckLOL05:03
pleia2DarkwingDuck: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/hotel-info05:03
DarkwingDuckWonder if there is a bus/train station near there.05:03

jbermudesDarkwingDuck: yes, there is06:27
jbermudeswhere are you coming from?06:28
* kdub_ is happy to avoid that big snowstorm back east :)17:43
pleia2they've been having quite the winter17:43
* akk looks out at lovely sunny day (if not quite warm yet)17:44
kdub_what part of the state do you live in, akk?17:46
akkkdub_: San Jose.17:46
akkAnybody know when UpScale is? Are they Friday night again? I can't find any mention on the website, either on the schedule or special events, or in the emailed schedule announcement that mentions them.17:52
nhainesakk: if you have a good heater you can fake "warm".  :)18:11
nhainesI don't think they know when UpScale is yet.  Hopefully not on Friday, but I guess all the BOFs would be Saturday so.... donno.  :)18:12
* MarkDude thinksone of his talks will be an Upscale, so I want to find out when they are :)18:15
akkI want to submit an upscale proposal, but I can't make it if it's Friday night.18:16
nhainesakk: I'll ask for you.18:17
akkThanks!18:17
nhainesakk: UpScale is going to be on Friday, 25 February, at 8pm.18:31
akkAh, thanks.18:31
akk(darn)18:31
nhainesyeah.  :(18:33
akkView->Page style->No style greatly improves the contrast on the SCALE schedule page.19:25
nhainesakk: what was your talk going to be?19:31
akkMy hypothetical UpScale talk? I hadn't decided ... I had 3-4 topics I was kicking around.19:31
akkI have a vague idea involving FOSS communities and forests I've been wanting to try, and a more focused one on browser privacy.19:32
nhainesAh.  Mine's called "Advocacy for Advocates" and will be about how to effectively talk bout free software.19:33
nhainescommunities and forests sounds interesting.  :)19:33
nhainesLet's just say if I can manage to cram http://xkcd.com/619/ in there I will.  :)19:34
akkHaha :)19:34
akkSo things like advocating the wrong things to the wrong people?19:35
seidoshi all.  if anyone is interested, i have been investigating distributed web hosting solutions (p2p).  i found two unhosted.org and pagekite.net.20:54
iheartubuntuSo I would like to go to the SCALE conference coming up, but not sure what I will do there :) Do I listen in to speeches? Do I help Ubuntu table? What can I do? Ive never been to a linux conference before.21:45
pleia2I think most of us will be doing both21:49
pleia2we'll probably sort out shifts when we all arrive so we can attend the talks we want and still cover the booth21:50
iheartubuntuwas there a talk list posted? I checked a couple weeks again and didnt see anything21:52
pleia2http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/schedule21:52
pleia2it's not final and is subject to change21:53
iheartubuntuahh its up! cool21:53
iheartubuntuthanks21:53
iheartubuntudo you know what "la jolla", "carmel" "los  angeles A" all means? are these rooms or different cities21:54
pleia2room names21:55
akkalso cities21:55
pleia2akk: referring to the SCALE schedule chart :)21:55
pleia2and "SCALE U" is the one you pay $300 for21:55
iheartubuntuso its not like i have to drive from carmel to to century city :)21:56
pleia2right :)21:56
akkYes, at SCALE they definitely don't mean you have to drive an hour and a half to the city of La Jolla, or 5 hours to Carmel. :)21:56
iheartubuntuwhew21:57

pleia2w00t, I have giant penguin23:00
* pleia2 will have to go downstairs and get it in a bit23:00
pleia2last night the boyfriend asks "so do we get to deflate it after events, or will we now have a 4ft inflatable penguin living with us?"23:01
jamiedmattinglyyou have to post a pic of you with the penguin somewhere pleia223:02
pleia2ok, I'll do that once I get the air pump (should be here in a few days)23:03
jamiedmattinglythat should be a funny sight23:04
kdub_anyone know of any hackerspaces in southern california?23:06
iheartubuntuwait, you arent going to manually pump it up?23:07
pleia2iheartubuntu: nah, it's a little electric one :)23:07

DarkwingDuckAlthough, it would be nice to have 4 computers23:11
pleia2I haven't figured out whether I'm going to pile tons of booth stuff in checked luggage or make grantbow drag it all down for me in a carpool23:11
iheartubuntui'll see if i can get a laptop there23:11
pleia2checked luggage gets knocked around a lot :\23:11
DarkwingDuckUbuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu23:11
DarkwingDuckYou flying pleia2?23:11
pleia2DarkwingDuck: yeah23:12
DarkwingDuckpleia2: ahhhh23:12

pleia2DarkwingDuck: yep! :)23:12
iheartubuntuanother comp?23:12
DarkwingDuckARRRRRGH23:12
pleia2iheartubuntu: I'm not sure23:13
rwwI am. One sec while I find the link.23:13
pleia2thanks rww23:13
DarkwingDuckWhy would someone make Kubuntu Documentation and KDE Documentation under different licenses?23:13
rwwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/ConferenceBox23:13
pleia2DarkwingDuck: to make the new kubuntu doc lead say "ARRRRRGH"23:13
rwwtl;dr: stuff that'd we'd want at any conference, and thus would group together and just bring it every time23:13
iheartubuntuso we also need some CDs with Ubuntu on them?23:13
DarkwingDuckI have a bunch of CDs23:14
DarkwingDuckpre burned ones23:14
DarkwingDuckI think it was 100 Ubuntu and 100 Kubuntu23:14
rwwit's probably partially redundant with the list of stuff y'all wrote down as bringing to SCaLE23:14
DarkwingDuckYou coming down again rww?23:14
pleia2rww: yeah, I'll have to compare the lists and see what we need23:14
rwwDarkwingDuck: nope, my schedule's too bust23:14
rwwbusy23:14
DarkwingDuckrww: :( I was looking forward to AM/PM again :P:P23:15
pleia2I've got about 75 Ubuntu CDs too23:15
rwwworking two jobs doesn't lend itself to time off :(23:15
iheartubuntuTWO... ugggh23:15
pleia2(from Canonical)23:15
rww(plus being in the middle of dealing with college application stuff)23:15
DarkwingDuckI also have ALL the ISOs downloaded23:16
rwwgood. that was a pain in the backside last time23:16
DarkwingDuckUbuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, UbuntuStudio, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Server both (i86 and 64 bit)23:16
pleia2-alt? :)23:16
DarkwingDuckNo23:16
DarkwingDuckI could though.23:16
DarkwingDuckIf we need the alts?23:17
DarkwingDuckIf we want them.23:17
pleia2maybe for the big 423:17
rwwsome people will want them23:17
iheartubuntuis SCALE held at this location every year?23:17
rwwbad graphics hardware :(23:17
DarkwingDuckNo23:17
DarkwingDuckYeah.23:17
rwwiheartubuntu: this year's a new location23:17
DarkwingDuckI'll get them then.23:17
pleia2eek, it's late, I need to get back to actually working23:17
DarkwingDuckBecause the bandwidth at Scale, for lack of a better term... sucks.23:17
iheartubuntuPasadena would have been a great choice. Easy to access via light rail and tons of nice areas to walk. stores, restaurants, etc23:18
DarkwingDuckChinese new year edition of Ubuntu?23:18
rww(SCaLE 6x, 7x, and 8x were at the Westin Hotel)23:18
DarkwingDuckOhhhhh, we will need some blank DVDs as well23:21
DarkwingDuckUbuntu Studio and MythUbuntu are DVD sized one.23:22
DarkwingDuck*Only23:22
iheartubuntuwhen making an ubuntu wiki personal page, do i use my launchpad name?23:29
rwwopinions are split as to whether you should use your realname or your LP name. I'd go with LP, may as well be consistant.23:30
iheartubuntuok ty rww23:30
iheartubuntuCannot make wiki page... "You are not allowed to edit this page."23:45
iheartubuntulogging in might help23:45
iheartubuntuDUH23:45
iheartubuntuits not even 10pm yet!23:45
akkiheartubuntu: This year's a new hotel for SCALE, but it's basically the same location, just down the street.23:47
akkAnd I agree Pasadena would be fantastic.23:47
akkI guess they use LAX to optimize for people flying in from long distances.23:47
iheartubuntuiven ever stopped anywhere near the airport, but from memory theres not a heck of a lot to do outside of the airport there23:48
iheartubuntueven downtown LA would be better23:48
akkYeah, it's hard to find lunch places nearby, and the traffic getting there is horrible.23:48
