[00:03]  * pleia2 adds all important http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I0992S to scale wiki
[00:12] <akk> pleia2: Need! :)

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