[00:03] * pleia2 adds all important http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I0992S to scale wiki [00:12] pleia2: Need! :) [00:16] wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited [00:32] hi all. is anyone here a motu? or interested in packaging? [04:02] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ [04:02] unfortunately no option for time zone yet (makes it difficult for us to use) - but they are aware and trying to think through a solution :) [04:27] seidos: I have an app that I wrote that I am interested in getting into the repo's sometime soon [04:36] jdeslip: jono get ahold of you? [04:45] pleia2: Yep [04:45] cool, going? :) [04:46] Is there some event going on where developers can get their apps into the repos? :) [04:47] dunno what seidos was talking about, but I recommended jono talk to jdeslip re: the dev tools review next week [04:48] wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited [04:50] Ya, I think [04:50] I think so [04:51] I feel so weighed down everytime I install a windows-VM - it is such a commitment, keeping it patched :/ [04:52] * akk is really curious what these dev tools will be, looking forward to finding out [04:52] (and hoping being a command-line-text-editor-geek doesn't cause problems) [04:54] Hey guys [04:55] evening DarkwingDuck :) [04:55] Hey DarkwingDuck [04:56] I booked my tickets and hotel room for scale! I'm excited to finally meet people [04:56] Visiting my GF's family in LA on Sunday, though. Will only be at the conference Fri-Sat [04:57] the booth is just up Sat-Sun [04:57] Ya, I thought so. So, I'll have to miss the Sunday session [05:00] The other thing that brings me down about installing a windows-VM is the oracle logo that is now all over vbox [05:00] yeah :( [05:00] I really wish my advisor didn't love obscure office features [05:00] heh [05:00] what a drag! [05:01] I am going to be happy in 11.04 when there is no longer an oracle logo on the built-in office suite [05:01] I need to find a hotel. You staying at the Hilton? [05:01] Ya, staying at hilton [05:01] the conference rate is $110 [05:01] How much was it a night? [05:02] 110 a night? [05:02] yeah [05:02] I 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. [05:03] 110 a night isn't bad.. I'll have to book that when I get my next unemployment check [05:03] yeah "airport hotels" always tend to be scattered over a 10 mile radius from the airport [05:03] LOL [05:03] DarkwingDuck: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/hotel-info [05:03] Wonder if there is a bus/train station near there. [05:20] wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited [06:27] DarkwingDuck: yes, there is [06:28] where are you coming from? [17:43] * kdub_ is happy to avoid that big snowstorm back east :) [17:43] they've been having quite the winter [17:44] * akk looks out at lovely sunny day (if not quite warm yet) [17:46] what part of the state do you live in, akk? [17:46] kdub_: San Jose. [17:52] Anybody 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. [18:11] akk: if you have a good heater you can fake "warm". :) [18:12] I don't think they know when UpScale is yet. Hopefully not on Friday, but I guess all the BOFs would be Saturday so.... donno. :) [18:15] * MarkDude thinksone of his talks will be an Upscale, so I want to find out when they are :) [18:16] I want to submit an upscale proposal, but I can't make it if it's Friday night. [18:17] akk: I'll ask for you. [18:17] Thanks! [18:31] akk: UpScale is going to be on Friday, 25 February, at 8pm. [18:31] Ah, thanks. [18:31] (darn) [18:33] yeah. :( [19:25] View->Page style->No style greatly improves the contrast on the SCALE schedule page. [19:31] akk: what was your talk going to be? [19:31] My hypothetical UpScale talk? I hadn't decided ... I had 3-4 topics I was kicking around. [19:32] I have a vague idea involving FOSS communities and forests I've been wanting to try, and a more focused one on browser privacy. [19:33] Ah. Mine's called "Advocacy for Advocates" and will be about how to effectively talk bout free software. [19:33] communities and forests sounds interesting. :) [19:34] Let's just say if I can manage to cram http://xkcd.com/619/ in there I will. :) [19:34] Haha :) [19:35] So things like advocating the wrong things to the wrong people? [20:54] hi all. if anyone is interested, i have been investigating distributed web hosting solutions (p2p). i found two unhosted.org and pagekite.net. [21:45] So 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. [21:49] I think most of us will be doing both [21:50] we'll probably sort out shifts when we all arrive so we can attend the talks we want and still cover the booth [21:52] was there a talk list posted? I checked a couple weeks again and didnt see anything [21:52] http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/schedule [21:53] it's not final and is subject to change [21:53] ahh its up! cool [21:53] thanks [21:54] do you know what "la jolla", "carmel" "los angeles A" all means? are these rooms or different cities [21:55] room names [21:55] also cities [21:55] akk: referring to the SCALE schedule chart :) [21:55] and "SCALE U" is the one you pay $300 for [21:56] so its not like i have to drive from carmel to to century city :) [21:56] right :) [21:56] Yes, 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. :) [21:57] whew [21:57] is the ubuntu booth for ubuntu or is about ubuntu CA? does the table need any help? [22:37] iheartubuntu: ubuntu california, and yes more volunteers would be good :) [22:37] what can i do to help? [22:37] i would only be available on saturday, possibly sunday [22:38] :| [22:40] stand at the booth, give out CDs, tell people about ubuntu, help answer questions people have [22:40] give demos on the demo systems we'll have there [22:41] am i capable? :) i can use terminal but im not totally savvy on terminal commands [22:41] im a noob when it comes to conferences [22:43] you don't need to use a terminal :) [22:43] (in fact, probably want to avoid it!) [22:43] :P [22:44] * pleia2 bites into giant glob of wasabi mayo [22:44] yowzaouch [22:44] ok. i will confer with wifey whats up and when i can be available. she has classes so i have to figure it all out when im avail [22:45] pencil me in anyways. do i talk to you about this Liz? [22:45] iheartubuntu: you can add your name to the volunteer list on the bottom of the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x [22:46] and let me know soon if you decide to come, I can get you one of our get-in-free exhibitor passes for the conference [22:48] Im definitely going saturday. definitely not on friday and a small maybe on sunday [22:50] ok, can you send me an email? I'll reply with the exhibitor info so you can register [22:50] lyz@ubuntu.com [22:50] pleia2: should i send an email as well? [22:50] * kdub_ wishes Scale was in LaJolla, i could ride my bike there then :) [22:50] kdub_: nah, I just need to nudge Gareth to update your badge [22:51] alright, thanks pleia2 [22:53] ok email sent [23:00] Wednesday, 02/02/2011 at 2:13 P.M. [23:00] w00t, I have giant penguin [23:00] * pleia2 will have to go downstairs and get it in a bit [23:01] last 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?" [23:02] you have to post a pic of you with the penguin somewhere pleia2 [23:03] ok, I'll do that once I get the air pump (should be here in a few days) [23:04] that should be a funny sight [23:06] anyone know of any hackerspaces in southern california? [23:07] wait, you arent going to manually pump it up? [23:07] iheartubuntu: nah, it's a little electric one :) [23:08] so no pics of you kissing the penguin [23:08] hehehe [23:08] lol [23:08] Well... do we know anyone with loads of air to blow up the penguin? :P:P [23:08] so i see 3 computers? [23:08] hes not here right now [23:09] oh pleia2... I'll be spliting time between Ubuntu and KDE [23:09] DarkwingDuck: good point, I could invite mark darnit, I can't make fun of him when he's not here [23:09] booths at Scale [23:09] LOL [23:10] My computer *might* vanish from time to time depending on the KDE booth. [23:10] someone i know has raffle tix. i will check around. i just dont remember who! [23:10] iheartubuntu: I am bringing raffle tickets [23:10] ohh ok [23:10] whats a demo box? a computer? [23:10] presentation box? [23:10] computer [23:11] Although, it would be nice to have 4 computers [23:11] I 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 carpool [23:11] i'll see if i can get a laptop there [23:11] checked luggage gets knocked around a lot :\ [23:11] Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu [23:11] You flying pleia2? [23:12] DarkwingDuck: yeah [23:12] pleia2: ahhhh [23:12] Is the boyfriend going to be able to make it? [23:12] whats a presentation box? [23:12] DarkwingDuck: yep! :) [23:12] another comp? [23:12] ARRRRRGH [23:13] iheartubuntu: I'm not sure [23:13] I am. One sec while I find the link. [23:13] thanks rww [23:13] Why would someone make Kubuntu Documentation and KDE Documentation under different licenses? [23:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/ConferenceBox [23:13] DarkwingDuck: to make the new kubuntu doc lead say "ARRRRRGH" [23:13] tl;dr: stuff that'd we'd want at any conference, and thus would group together and just bring it every time [23:13] so we also need some CDs with Ubuntu on them? [23:14] I have a bunch of CDs [23:14] pre burned ones [23:14] I think it was 100 Ubuntu and 100 Kubuntu [23:14] it's probably partially redundant with the list of stuff y'all wrote down as bringing to SCaLE [23:14] You coming down again rww? [23:14] rww: yeah, I'll have to compare the lists and see what we need [23:14] DarkwingDuck: nope, my schedule's too bust [23:14] busy [23:15] rww: :( I was looking forward to AM/PM again :P:P [23:15] I've got about 75 Ubuntu CDs too [23:15] working two jobs doesn't lend itself to time off :( [23:15] TWO... ugggh [23:15] (from Canonical) [23:15] (plus being in the middle of dealing with college application stuff) [23:16] I also have ALL the ISOs downloaded [23:16] good. that was a pain in the backside last time [23:16] Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, UbuntuStudio, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Server both (i86 and 64 bit) [23:16] -alt? :) [23:16] No [23:16] I could though. [23:17] If we need the alts? [23:17] If we want them. [23:17] maybe for the big 4 [23:17] some people will want them [23:17] is SCALE held at this location every year? [23:17] bad graphics hardware :( [23:17] No [23:17] Yeah. [23:17] iheartubuntu: this year's a new location [23:17] I'll get them then. [23:17] eek, it's late, I need to get back to actually working [23:17] Because the bandwidth at Scale, for lack of a better term... sucks. [23:18] Pasadena would have been a great choice. Easy to access via light rail and tons of nice areas to walk. stores, restaurants, etc [23:18] Chinese new year edition of Ubuntu? [23:18] (SCaLE 6x, 7x, and 8x were at the Westin Hotel) [23:21] Ohhhhh, we will need some blank DVDs as well [23:22] Ubuntu Studio and MythUbuntu are DVD sized one. [23:22] *Only [23:29] when making an ubuntu wiki personal page, do i use my launchpad name? [23:30] opinions 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] ok ty rww [23:45] Cannot make wiki page... "You are not allowed to edit this page." [23:45] logging in might help [23:45] DUH [23:45] its not even 10pm yet! [23:47] iheartubuntu: This year's a new hotel for SCALE, but it's basically the same location, just down the street. [23:47] And I agree Pasadena would be fantastic. [23:47] I guess they use LAX to optimize for people flying in from long distances. [23:48] iven ever stopped anywhere near the airport, but from memory theres not a heck of a lot to do outside of the airport there [23:48] even downtown LA would be better [23:48] Yeah, it's hard to find lunch places nearby, and the traffic getting there is horrible.
