| iheartubuntu | budapest looks very interesting | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| iheartubuntu | a river dividing the two cities | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | it'll certainly be the most foreign place I've ever been | 00:03 |
| * crashsystems has been stuck in the US too long :/ | 00:04 | |
| iheartubuntu | budepest was a real hot spot 100 years ago in europe. even 50-70 years ago. some of the most trendiest nightclubs and dancehalls in all of europe | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | I love the US | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | but travel is fun, and I haven't had the opportunity to do so until these past couple years | 00:05 |
| iheartubuntu | the more i travel the more i appreciate the usa. things are maybe a bit too easy here and its easy to take it for granted | 00:05 |
| iheartubuntu | like 24 hour donuts :) | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | same | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | and big hotel rooms! | 00:05 |
| * crashsystems wants donuts now. | 00:05 | |
| iheartubuntu | i have a donut place near me. run by a small little old japanese guy who has apparently been doing it since he was released from internment. the place is open 24/7 and he hand makes all the fillings every day. fresh cream, fresh strawberries, etc. there is always a line of people outside when i drive by! even at the oddest hours | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: so you're bringing a box to scale, right? | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | ;) | 00:07 |
| iheartubuntu | i am?? OK! | 00:07 |
| jtatum | that's neat | 00:08 |
| pleia2 | I haven't had a donut in ages | 00:08 |
| iheartubuntu | I'll get him to autograpgh the box | 00:08 |
| pleia2 | lol, that would be awesome | 00:08 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I had a custard-filled donut with chocolate frosting on Tuesday night! | 00:08 |
| crashsystems | 24/7? Wow, I'd end up getting donuts at crazy hours! | 00:08 |
| pleia2 | there are a lot of donut shops in the city, I'm just never in a donut mood when I'm near one (and donuts from cafes aren't the same) | 00:09 |
| nhaines | Isn't that the truth! | 00:10 |
| iheartubuntu | pleia2 do you like going to music concerts? | 00:11 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: I haven't been to many, but I've enjoyed the ones I've been to :) | 00:12 |
| iheartubuntu | SF had an awesome one... somewhere south of market and fremont... called Maritime Hall | 00:13 |
| iheartubuntu | some legendary concert events there. i believe it closed up a few years back | 00:14 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I moved to SF now that it's not cool anymore | 00:18 |
| iheartubuntu | ha | 00:25 |
| iheartubuntu | the website ive used for 5+ years to find live soccer game feeds was shut down... http://atdhe.net/ | 00:26 |
| iheartubuntu | homeland security took it over. what a bunch of rubbish. i feel like we are in china now | 00:26 |
| pleia2 | was it legal? | 00:27 |
| iheartubuntu | funny the gov doesnt shut down sites like justin.tv which is the site actually showing the feeds. | 00:27 |
| iheartubuntu | the site i was going to was just creating a page to find soccer links, not actual feeds themselves. | 00:27 |
| pleia2 | I'd be mad at the companies pushing that for laws that make their content be protected, not the enforcers of those laws | 00:27 |
| iheartubuntu | i should probably be mad at both :) | 00:28 |
| pleia2 | and write to your congressperson! | 00:28 |
| pleia2 | :) | 00:28 |
| iheartubuntu | dear congressperson. where are my pseudo legal video feeds? | 00:29 |
| akk | Being mad at the enforcers makes sense too, if they enforce silly things like that but don't enforce, say, antispam laws | 00:29 |
| akk | or antitrust laws | 00:29 |
| pleia2 | fair enough | 00:30 |
| iheartubuntu | i'll have to find some chinese links to watch los angeles games here in los angeles | 00:30 |
| iheartubuntu | :p | 00:30 |
| iheartubuntu | im worried now of monthly caps on data usage | 00:31 |
| iheartubuntu | thats going to squash companies who want to charge money for people watching movies online | 00:31 |
| pleia2 | I didn't even realize until last year (when I started caring about a sport) how hugely locked down baseball and football and other sporting stuff was | 00:31 |
| * pleia2 pays royalties for talking about them | 00:32 | |
| pleia2 | ;) | 00:32 |
| iheartubuntu | locked down? | 00:32 |
| iheartubuntu | pays royalties? | 00:32 |
| iheartubuntu | im sure talking major league soccer they would pay YOU | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | well, perhaps not soccer :) | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | but the popular sporting things in the US | 00:32 |
| iheartubuntu | in fact its pretty easy to get a soccer press pass | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | MLB, NFL | 00:33 |
| iheartubuntu | soccer has higher tv views and attendance than NHL now :) | 00:33 |
| iheartubuntu | woot woot | 00:33 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:33 |
| iheartubuntu | i was a hockey fan for a couple years (some girl made me like it) | 00:34 |
| iheartubuntu | i didnt phrase that right :p | 00:34 |
| iheartubuntu | her cousin was paralyzed at boston U and wrote a book about it | 00:35 |
| iheartubuntu | i forget his name now | 00:35 |
| iheartubuntu | in his first ever uni game | 00:35 |
| iheartubuntu | ouch | 00:35 |
| pleia2 | wow | 00:35 |
| akk | how awful! | 00:37 |
| iheartubuntu | i bought a few extra copies of his book to be autographed. i thought i bought them on amazon. cant seem to find it in my history | 00:39 |
| iheartubuntu | but i *DID* buy a black labrador beanie baby in 1997 | 00:40 |
| iheartubuntu | ahh yes. his name was "travis roy" | 00:41 |

| iheartubuntu | Anyone know if seidos moved back to social? | 02:07 |
| iheartubuntu | Socal | 02:07 |
| iheartubuntu | isnt redhat a major player in the linux world? | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | yep | 02:56 |
| iheartubuntu | did they create debian or is redhat designed off of debian? | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | neither | 02:56 |
| iheartubuntu | their stock price has doubled in one year | 02:56 |
| iheartubuntu | from $20 to $44 | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | they were both started around the same time though, redhat developed the rpm packaging system that their distro (and fedora, and others) use, debian created debs (debian, ubuntu ,etc) | 02:57 |
| iheartubuntu | id like to ivnest in linux | 02:57 |
| iheartubuntu | related companies | 02:57 |
| iheartubuntu | i once tried redhat in thr 1990s when it was sold at compusa. could not figure patitioning so i gave up | 02:58 |
| pleia2 | redhat 7.2 was my first linux | 02:58 |
| iheartubuntu | thankfully ubuntu got me back in | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | :) | 02:59 |
| iheartubuntu | google is a major backer of linux these days | 03:02 |
| iheartubuntu | ohh hows that computer doing liz? | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: it's great :) I am having a lot of fun with it (on it now!) | 03:05 |
| iheartubuntu | so how r u doing irc? | 03:05 |
| iheartubuntu | freenode webchat? | 03:05 |
| rww | irssi! | 03:05 |
| iheartubuntu | whats irssi? | 03:06 |
| rww | a terminal-based IRC client | 03:06 |
| iheartubuntu | ohh clever | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I ssh from the cr-48 into my server running irssi | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | the terminal on this machine is very limited, but it does have ssh :) | 03:08 |
| iheartubuntu | im using freenode webchat at my wifes uni here since they block pidgin | 03:10 |
| nUboon2Age | yo people, we be here at Philz Coffee (been here since 7), jtatum is w/ me. where's the rest of y'all. akk, crashsystems, crashsystems1, jamalta | 03:51 |
| nUboon2Age | :-) | 03:52 |
| akk | I didn't even know about it. Last I heard you were telling us about one next Thursday in Mountain View. | 03:52 |
| akk | I need email reminders of this stuff! | 03:52 |
| akk | I hope to be in MV next Thursday, though. | 03:53 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah that's what hardly any time on-line will get me akk. thing is i need others to pick a meeitng and THEY do the reminders. | 03:56 |
| pleia2 | oops, yeah, I needed a reminder to update identica | 03:56 |
| nUboon2Age | James/ jtatum agreed to do MV and stburto is doing PA. You wanna do SJ akk? | 03:56 |
| iheartubuntu | where are ya'll? bay area? | 03:56 |
| akk | Maybe a once a month "Here are the south bay ubuntu hours this month"? | 03:56 |
| nUboon2Age | yup, Silicon Valley iheartubuntu | 03:57 |
| nUboon2Age | yes, so would you like to do that akk? | 03:57 |
| iheartubuntu | is seidos there? | 03:57 |
| akk | nUboon2Age: I've only been to one of the SJ ones ... I don't mind sending an email but for that you'd have to tell me when they're going to be. :) | 03:57 |
| akk | And if you tell me, I'm not sure it would be any harder to tell the whole list ... | 03:58 |
| nUboon2Age | akk: so the way it works is you would 'adopt' a meeting. The SJ one is set for every 2nd Th of the month. | 03:58 |
| nUboon2Age | no akk i can't do it all. it doesn't work that way. the way it actually is functional is to delegate and people take responsibility for a single meeting. that way we get a prolififeration of healthy meetings. not ones all run by one person. | 04:00 |
| akk | nUboon2Age: I don't mind sending the mailing, but I'm hesitant to adopt SJ because I'm not sure I'm sold on that location (the one I went to was frustrating for me, I didn't get to talk to anyone). | 04:01 |
| nUboon2Age | you can change the location, no probl | 04:01 |
| akk | nUboon2Age: I don't mind sending an email reminder for it, though, if you need someone to do that. | 04:01 |
| nUboon2Age | akk: ^^ | 04:01 |
| akk | I'd rather just go to the MV one -- it's right across the street from work and a good location. | 04:01 |
| nUboon2Age | you could help in any way you want, but i need someone to adopt the meeting. you are the logical one because you are by far the closest. but i'll understand if you don't want to akk | 04:02 |
| akk | I spend almost no time in downtown SJ, so I'm not a good person to find sites there. | 04:02 |
| jtatum | hallo | 04:02 |
| nUboon2Age | would you rather adopt the MV one akk? maybe we can swap w/ jtatum. | 04:02 |
| jtatum | stay back, it's mine! haha | 04:03 |
| nUboon2Age | i get hardly ANY time on-line right now so i NEED to delegate akk | 04:03 |
| nUboon2Age | and by the way, i talked to you at the one you came to so you can't say NO ONE talked to you. :-) akk | 04:04 |
| akk | I don't mind sending email reminders for SJ ... I just don't want to be responsible for being there every time. | 04:04 |
| nUboon2Age | well how about MV then akk | 04:04 |
| nUboon2Age | ?? | 04:04 |
| akk | I thought you said jtatum was doing that? But I plan to be there when I can. | 04:05 |
| nUboon2Age | i might be able to persuade jtatum to switch. i need someone to ADOPT a meeting. all the way,. akk | 04:05 |
| akk | If nobody's that interested in adopting SJ, maybe it's a sign that we're spreading ourselves too thin and should concentrate on MV? | 04:06 |
| nUboon2Age | its not like i won't come to it akk, i'll keep coming. btw i was the ONLY one at MV AND SJ last month | 04:06 |
| nUboon2Age | wrong akk | 04:06 |
| nUboon2Age | its a sign that we need to delegate | 04:06 |
| akk | nUboon2Age: Hey, d and I were the only ones in MV the month before that, at least for the first 45 min. :) | 04:06 |
| nUboon2Age | take it from me akk i've been organizing events for many a year. i know whereof i speak. | 04:07 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah and what do all the low-turnout event have in common akk? | 04:07 |
| nUboon2Age | i'll tell you what they have in common. | 04:07 |
| nUboon2Age | no publicity | 04:07 |
| akk | Right. But a monthly announcement with a list of dates would help a lot. | 04:08 |
| nUboon2Age | as i said with a broken arm and many other probs getting time on-line i haven't been able to do proper PR. akk | 04:08 |
| nUboon2Age | that says zero about the viability of the meeting akk | 04:08 |
| nUboon2Age | it just says i haven't been able to do the PR and need to delegate. | 04:08 |
| nUboon2Age | so i'm asking for your help akk | 04:08 |
| akk | So what kind of PR are you trying to get people to do, if not email announcements? | 04:09 |
| nUboon2Age | adopting a meeting means #1 being committed to show to the meeting #2 create an event on our events list and on the forums #3 announce it here #4 send e-mail reminder akk | 04:10 |
| pleia2 | I typically send out an email announcement (sometimes cross post to other lists who said I could announce Ubuntu Hours on their lists), update the california.ubuntuforums.org thread about hours, create a loco.ubuntu.com entry for it and then nudge myself to update identi.ca/ubuntucalifornia (which x-posts to twitter) | 04:11 |
| nUboon2Age | i'm not 'trying to get' anyone to 'do PR'. i'm asking people to step up and adopt a meeting akk | 04:11 |
| pleia2 | we have a facebook group too, but facebook confounds me :) | 04:11 |
| nUboon2Age | yes and the beauty is that when you are only dealing with a single meeting per month you could really go to town and e-mail many different lists and tweet and identi.ca, facebook, etc. | 04:11 |
| akk | I have a FB account, but I'm completely confused how group accounts are supposed to work. | 04:12 |
| nUboon2Age | but that's really only possible when you have only a single meeting to work on akk | 04:12 |
| rww | pleia2: it's a page now. this has not notably changed how often it's updated, though. | 04:12 |
| akk | Joining groups doesn't seem to put announcements from the group into your news feed or whatever it's called. | 04:12 |
| pleia2 | rww: groups, pages, I don't actually know the difference :\ | 04:12 |
| rww | Pages are more confusing. | 04:13 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah i haven't figured out all the FB stuff yet, but i'm planning on using Gwibber to help me get it done. awesome app. akk | 04:13 |
| akk | I tried to use gwibber and it was even more confusing than the FB web interface (probably it's better now). | 04:14 |
| pleia2 | nUboon2Age: back off a little please? she said she can't commit to full responsibility going to every one and that she just wants to help, surely that's useful too? | 04:14 |
| akk | Thanks! pleia2 | 04:14 |
| pleia2 | which reminds me, if others want to help keeping identi.ca updated, please let me know, I'm clearly awful at it :) | 04:15 |
| akk | Speaking of confusing web interfaces ... I have an identi.ca account but could never figure out how to post anything. | 04:15 |
| nUboon2Age | so tonight at Ubuntu Hour SJ i spoke with Sebastian who is a CS student at SJSU and one of his profs had *required* that everyone add another OS to their computer (in his case Ubuntu!!!) and he gave me some names of profs to contact to get this Ubuntu Hour connected w/ SJSJ | 04:15 |
| akk | Strangely, people are following me there even though I have no updates. | 04:16 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2: thank you but you have your style and i have mine. | 04:16 |
| akk | nUboon2Age: That's great! | 04:16 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2: mine is a little less gentle than yours but if you really watch me in action you'll come to trust that i do back off when i need to. | 04:16 |
| pleia2 | identi.ca's interface confuses me too, I always end up clicking around a bit after logging in | 04:17 |
| akk | The other one I can't figure out is diaspora. | 04:18 |
| akk | Even with names of people I know are on it, I can't figure out how to find them and connect to them. | 04:18 |
| akk | I really want to support the open sites instead of FB/twitter ... but I think I'm not smart or technical enough to use them! :) | 04:19 |
| nUboon2Age | okay we're going to move over to Pizza My Heart now... catch you in a few. | 04:19 |
| * rww sighs | 04:19 | |
| pleia2 | I didn't even bother with diaspora, I'm only really on facebook so my non-techie friends and family can find me, and they aren't on diaspora :) | 04:19 |
| pleia2 | my techie friends know how to contact me properly | 04:19 |
| rww | email? | 04:20 |
| akk | IRC? | 04:20 |
| crashsystems | I wish more people were on diaspora | 04:21 |
| rww | akk: that too. Anything created after I learned to talk is too newfangled! | 04:21 |
| * akk logs in to diaspora, and discovers there's a request from 3 days ago that it never bothered to email me about | 04:21 | |
| akk | but it's from somebody I've never heard of about something I know nothing about, hmm | 04:22 |
| * crashsystems is on https://joindiaspora/crashsystems | 04:22 | |
| pleia2 | yeah, mostly email and IRC (but I do have my phone number online too) | 04:23 |
| nUboon2Age | Byron joined us at Pizza My Heart. | 04:56 |
| jtatum | Good news, everyone: Mountain View Ubuntu Hour, Thursday 2/17. See your email or any of the other ten thousand places I spammed it for details and such | 04:57 |
| === nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age | ||
| nUboon2Age | If a group adopts a scarcity mentality and only works on the basis of the current membership and who they have right now its very unlikely they will grow very much. akk, | 05:11 |
| nUboon2Age | whereas if we approach things from an Abundance mentality the sky is the limit. | 05:11 |
| nUboon2Age | Scarcity keeps us locked in fear-based limitations | 05:12 |
| nUboon2Age | Abundance allows us to expand without many limits. | 05:12 |
| nUboon2Age | If we say we are only going to run as many Ubuntu Hours as we currently can support we will not get very far. | 05:12 |
| nUboon2Age | if instead we adapt a huge vision of Ubuntu Hours in every city and operate accordingly then we can exceed all expectations. | 05:13 |
| nUboon2Age | but delegation is the key | 05:13 |
| nUboon2Age | each Ubuntu Hour needs its own leadership who then make sure the PR happens and the relations stay good with the venue operators. | 05:14 |
| nUboon2Age | organizing events is my forte. i've been doing if for many, many years and i've had enormous success. These things i pass along are based on my expertise. | 05:15 |
| nUboon2Age | all it takes to get an Ubuntu Hour going initially is one committed individual who is willing to be at least enough outgoing to talk to others. | 05:16 |
| nUboon2Age | As long as one is willing to talk to strangers about something you are enthusiastic about you can be successful at starting an Ubuntu Hour or Lindependence Hour. | 05:18 |
| nUboon2Age | If you are kindy not so enthused about Ubuntu per se, then i encourage you akk to do it as a Lindependence Hour instead so you don't feel obligated to push Ubuntu, but open to whichever distro suits your fancy. | 05:19 |
| nUboon2Age | s/kindy/kinda | 05:19 |
| jtatum | haha | 05:20 |
| jtatum | nUboon2Age got quiet | 05:20 |
| jtatum | turns out he was writing a wall of text :) | 05:20 |
| akk | :) jtatum | 05:21 |
| nUboon2Age | :-) | 05:22 |
| MarkDude | nUboon2Age, I agree that having a mentality of *abundance* is a great way to proceed :) | 05:31 |
| * kdub will accept any & all help for san diego organizing :) | 05:32 | |
| nUboon2Age | yup, MarkDude, Lindependence Hours everywhere! Abundance! | 05:35 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah kdub!!! | 05:36 |
| nUboon2Age | maybe Flannel would help your kdub(???) | 05:37 |
| nUboon2Age | and how about DarkwingDuck kdub? | 05:37 |
| MarkDude | Create a wiki page for it kdub SD has people | 05:37 |
| nUboon2Age | great idea MarkDude, kdub | 05:38 |
| kdub | well, i've been organizing a few meetings, but i'm not very good at promotion i guess | 05:38 |
| * MarkDude knows a thing or two about promotion | 05:39 | |
| nUboon2Age | wiki page for Ubuntu Hour SD kdub. if you don't have access to the wiki yet kdub, pleia2 can help you with that, or DarkwingDuck for that matter or Flannel. | 05:39 |
| kdub | i think we've done 3 san diego hours already | 05:39 |
| rww | Everybody with an LP account has access to the wiki. | 05:39 |
| nUboon2Age | yes MarkDude does!!! | 05:39 |
| MarkDude | some might say tooo much ;) | 05:39 |
| kdub | but our max attendance was 4 :P | 05:40 |
| nUboon2Age | i thought to make team pages we needed some extra permission rww. no? | 05:40 |
| rww | nUboon2Age: no | 05:40 |
| MarkDude | kdub, half full glass much? | 05:40 |
| nUboon2Age | that's good to know rww. ty for pointing that out. i didn't realize that. | 05:40 |
| MarkDude | 4 people is enough to start a revolution | 05:40 |
| nUboon2Age | 4 people rocks kdub, i agree with MarkDude | 05:40 |
| rww | not technically, anyway. if there are social requirements, I'm unaware of them. | 05:40 |
| MarkDude | well that and/or beer/coffee | 05:41 |
| kdub | oh yeah, i'm hopeful about it, have a half-baked svg i was going to send to kinkos for copies | 05:41 |
| kdub | plus, i think we can meet downtown at the huge panera bread in the middle of the city | 05:41 |
| nUboon2Age | a single committed person can get it rolling initially and inspire a ripple effect, snowballing into something huge kdub. | 05:41 |
| kdub | oh yeah, i saw the michigan loco start up | 05:42 |
| kdub | and really, ubuntu is how i keep passionate about computers, sometimes work takes too much outta you :P | 05:42 |
| kdub | oh, and i have a handful of brewery-restaurant type of places that i'd feel safe bringing a computer | 05:44 |
| kdub | gotta call the management and see how comfortable they are with that though :P | 05:44 |
| nUboon2Age | sure kdub. it sounds like you are on the right track. | 05:45 |
| MarkDude | kdub, not to sound all Ubuntuish but, by doing some of these geek events I have gained some real good friends | 05:46 |
| MarkDude | My events that have had the highest attendance are not somehow the best | 05:46 |
| nUboon2Age | goodnight y'all | 05:47 |
| MarkDude | later nUboon2Age | 05:48 |
| kdub | night nUboon2Age | 05:49 |
| iheartubuntu | testing out operas new built in mail program. its sleek. reminds me a bit like postler (which im interested in trying). | 06:36 |
| iheartubuntu | guten tag | 16:22 |
| iheartubuntu | so ive been mentioning Opera browser and testing it the last couple days. But someone told me its closed source? | 16:24 |
| iheartubuntu | if browsers were women... http://thenextweb.com/2009/03/16/browsers-women/ | 16:25 |
| jdeslip | Meego is dead ... | 16:28 |
| jdeslip | http://goo.gl/9xhou | 16:29 |
| jdeslip | A bit of a sad day for linux. Presumably this means the Linux end-user ecosystem is now split into two (for 99% of users): Android and Ubuntu. | 16:30 |
| jdeslip | It'll be interesting to see if Ubuntu can fill in some of the roles Meego was targeting - tablets, in-vehicle systems etc... | 16:31 |
| * MarkDude knows some folks at Nokia that are most likely not too happy with all of this | 16:46 | |
| jamiedmattingly | i like the women browser thing lol iheartubuntu i think i might have dated the ie girl lol | 16:48 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm more worried about the Qt thing then the meego side of things. | 16:48 |
| * MarkDude thinks there are a few less known browsers that could have just been hot nerd girls | 16:49 | |
| jdeslip | Ya, Nokia laying off most of the Linux devs affects a lot more than just Meego | 16:49 |
| MarkDude | Elinks, for example | 16:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | KDE and Kubuntu | 16:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | We are built on Qt | 16:49 |
| jdeslip | Well, KDE can fork Qt right? | 16:49 |
| MarkDude | DarkwingDuck, there was a transistion that started last year | 16:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | MarkDude: What transition? | 16:50 |
| MarkDude | Knut yrvin had his cards from Nokia | 16:50 |
| MarkDude | QT was crossed out | 16:50 |
| DarkwingDuck | Qt was crossed out of what? | 16:50 |
| * MarkDude did not think about that until now | 16:50 | |
| MarkDude | DarkwingDuck, on his card | 16:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | Yeah... | 16:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | this is going ot hurt. | 16:51 |
| MarkDude | thats wierd - since Nokia could have made some without it | 16:51 |
| MarkDude | Knut *was* making a statemenet then | 16:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | jdeslip: I'm not sure... for Qt bugs we have to work with Nokia | 16:51 |
| MarkDude | I gathered there was some sort of gamble going on | 16:52 |
| DarkwingDuck | hence the reason we had 3 nokia Qt devs at UDS | 16:52 |
| DarkwingDuck | Well, the Qt devs seem to think that they will be okay for now. | 16:54 |
| MarkDude | DarkwingDuck, I found 1 person willing to help in SoCal | 16:58 |
| MarkDude | He will be in inland empire at least part time | 16:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | kk | 16:58 |
| MarkDude | Clint Savage from Fedora | 16:59 |
| DarkwingDuck | Will he be at Scale? | 17:03 |
| MarkDude | He will be pretty busy , but can meetup at Scale | 17:03 |
| MarkDude | Yep | 17:03 |
| DarkwingDuck | Becasue, while there I would love to have a improv meeting at scale. | 17:03 |
| DarkwingDuck | MarkDude: since you have put these on before and I have never attended one I would LOVE anything that you have to offer | 17:03 |
| MarkDude | So we can set up at least a coffee/drinks | 17:03 |
| MarkDude | Sure | 17:03 |
| * MarkDude is helping set up geeknics in Europe also | 17:04 | |
| MarkDude | Socal- I know the area a bit better | 17:04 |
| DarkwingDuck | MarkDude: what day are you going to be down here? | 17:04 |
| MarkDude | Apparently Thursday- since 1 talk is early Friday | 17:05 |
| DarkwingDuck | MarkDude: maybe drinks/dinner/meeting friday night? | 17:11 |
| DarkwingDuck | I hvae plans for sat night already | 17:11 |
| MarkDude | He still is not sure when he wil be free | 17:13 |
| MarkDude | He thinks Im tryig to get him to be a main organizer | 17:14 |
| DarkwingDuck | Okay, I'm having dinner with some old friends that I have not seen in years on sat night. | 17:14 |
| iheartubuntu | nhaines what sort of topics are you thinking about for ubucon | 19:01 |
| jamiedmattingly | ubucon? | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: yay ubucon! | 19:06 |
| pleia2 | jamiedmattingly: nhaines wrote a mail to the list, and blogged about it here: http://nhaines.livejournal.com/58899.html | 19:07 |
| jamiedmattingly | oh thats at scale too huh? | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | yeah, friday | 19:10 |
| jamiedmattingly | my wife will never let me go to la i had a hard enough time going to sf the other day lol | 19:11 |
| nhaines | pleia2: it was the best kind of notice from SCaLE... none whatsoever! But that's what makes it fun. :) | 19:12 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: Things that beginners would like. I'm hoping to get three speakers (last year had 6, but we also had 5 weeks to plan). | 19:12 |
| nhaines | So in between I'll do open sessions. I want to do one where we talk about setting up an Ubuntu computer for a kid. | 19:13 |
| nhaines | Like, early learning programs, office stuff, scientific stuff, what would you install, what do the programs look like, etc. | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: proposal sent, let me know if you need more details (it's pretty straight forward though :)) | 19:13 |
| jamiedmattingly | that would be fun as well im trying to get my 9 year old daughter to use my ubuntu | 19:14 |
| jdeslip | nhaines: sent you a proposal. "Creating your first Ubuntu app with quickly". If any programming at all is to advanced what what you have planned, I could do another subject if you need a speaker and have something in mind. | 19:15 |
| jamiedmattingly | she has been using windows since she was 6 so trying to get her on ubuntu isnt as easy as i would have hoped | 19:16 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I love it. :) | 19:16 |
| nhaines | jamiedmattingly: book a ticket and she can give a presentation. ;) | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 19:16 |
| nhaines | jdeslip: I walked through the Quickly tutorial last year. It was very well received. | 19:17 |
| jamiedmattingly | my wife will never let me go to la although my daughter might like it | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | my proposal was "Finding Help" (explaining to new users that they have forums, irc, google etc for learning about ubuntu) | 19:17 |
| nhaines | jamiedmattingly: bring your wife too. ;) | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I'm dragging my boyfriend along ;) | 19:17 |
| jamiedmattingly | she hates computers except for face book :( | 19:18 |
| pleia2 | my line was "even if you don't find anything on the schedule - we're in LA! go on adventures" | 19:18 |
| nhaines | jamiedmattingly: Also, although I was being snarky, three girls, 10, 11, and 13, I think, did give a presentation for the Women in Open Source track and it was standing-room only, overflow, and standing ovation afterwards. | 19:18 |
| pleia2 | nice | 19:19 |
| jamiedmattingly | very nice nhaines | 19:19 |
| nhaines | In fact, if I hadn't been MCing the Ubucon thing I would have gone in. | 19:19 |
| nhaines | So snarky quips aside, I'd accept a younger presenter just as readily as an older one. | 19:20 |
| nhaines | Oh, also, if anyone here has already registered but wants to go to Ubucon (i.e., have the listing on your badge) just let me know your email address and I can get the registration updated. | 19:32 |
| nhaines | Or, first and last name works too. | 19:32 |
| nhaines | Ooh, snazzy: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | w00t | 19:42 |
| DarkwingDuck | nhaines: david.wonderly@kubuntu.org | 19:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | Well wait... I'm getting a vendor badge... NM | 19:49 |
| nhaines | DarkwingDuck: Vendor or exhibitor? They can get those fields added too. :) | 19:50 |
| DarkwingDuck | exhibitor | 19:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | nhaines: I will actually have a working computer and be able to do a talk on KDE/Kubuntu this year. | 19:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | nhaines: at Ubucon | 19:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | nhaines: I'll draft up a little blurb for ya | 19:57 |
| nhaines | DarkwingDuck: thanks! :) | 19:58 |
| nhaines | That might actually be a good presentation. | 19:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | :) | 19:59 |
| nhaines | Err.. context-wise. I'm sure the *presentation* will be good. I meant I think it'll be a good fit. :) | 19:59 |
| DarkwingDuck | hehehe. | 20:00 |
| DarkwingDuck | I knew what you were going for | 20:00 |
| MarkDude | nhaines, you did a great job with MC duties last year, IMHO | 20:01 |
| MarkDude | :) | 20:01 |
| nhaines | MarkDude: thanks! I don't remember you being there but then I don't remember much of anything from last SCaLE... I never do afterward, haha. | 20:02 |
| * MarkDude spoke | 20:03 | |
| MarkDude | had rww doubting I could do it in under 5 minutes | 20:03 |
| MarkDude | had 30 seconds to spare | 20:03 |
| DarkwingDuck | I remember a bit form Ubucon... My computer failed... there was that lightning talk about GRUB LOL | 20:04 |
| pleia2 | doh :) | 20:09 |
| DarkwingDuck | It was... unique | 20:13 |
| jmgalloway | anyone know why the ubuntu freezes at the language selection screen? | 20:14 |
| * DarkwingDuck raises an eyebrow | 20:16 | |
| DarkwingDuck | Total freeze or a delay? | 20:16 |
| jmgalloway | I've tried 2 cdr's and a dvd...It wont get past the language selection screen | 20:16 |
| DarkwingDuck | hmmmm, have you tried an ALT CD? | 20:17 |
| DarkwingDuck | Ubuntu 10.10? | 20:17 |
| nhaines | Check the MD5SUM on the ISO you downloaded. | 20:17 |
| jmgalloway | I'll check the checksum. I assumed it was ok | 20:18 |
| jmgalloway | yea 10.10 | 20:18 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, you were correct about bierte, he is a pretty cool person | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | :D | 20:21 |
| MarkDude | very reasonable | 20:21 |
| MarkDude | Hella funny | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | yeah he's awesome | 20:21 |
| MarkDude | He got a few jokes that JanC never understood | 20:22 |
| pleia2 | did you get to meet him? he was plannin on coming to fudcon but couldn't make it | 20:23 |
| MarkDude | Not yet | 20:23 |
| MarkDude | He might be at OSCON | 20:23 |
| pleia2 | cool | 20:23 |
| MarkDude | We are trying to see about getting all sorts of folks for this CLS also | 20:24 |
| pleia2 | I first met him through paul mellors <3 | 20:24 |
| pleia2 | then he came out to UDS in Brussels | 20:24 |
| MarkDude | Paul is another cool person :) | 20:24 |
| pleia2 | yes :) I heart him lots! | 20:24 |
| pleia2 | haven't met though | 20:24 |
| * MarkDude already has some friends trying to get local non-profits to go to CLS' | 20:25 | |
| DarkwingDuck | Hmmm, I may have to trim this presentation down a bit. | 20:41 |
| nhaines | There have been 22 SCaLE registrations with the UBUCA promo code thus far. | 20:52 |
| DarkwingDuck | AWESOME! | 20:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm up to 33 slide ideas | 20:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | nhaines: Will there be a computer hooked up to a projector? | 20:59 |
| nhaines | DarkwingDuck: yes. | 21:03 |
| nhaines | And you'll have a over-the-ear loop mic. | 21:03 |
| DarkwingDuck | OO.org presentation or PDF correct? | 21:05 |
| nhaines | Correct. | 21:05 |
| DarkwingDuck | kk :) | 21:05 |
| nhaines | Oh, and if you want to show off Kubuntu and are bringing a computer we can use that. :) | 21:05 |
| DarkwingDuck | :) Okay, I was just going to use screen shots and tell them if they want to use it they can come to our booth. :D | 21:07 |
| nhaines | DarkwingDuck: you're free to do that as well. :) | 21:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | Or see me afterward... | 21:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | Either or. | 21:08 |
| MarkDude | Tomorrow night 8:30pm the church of Jono will be having a loud music palooza in Concord | 21:09 |
| MarkDude | Severed Fifth will be at the Timeout | 21:09 |
| MarkDude | And most likely it will be myself and Dangerour grantbow | 21:10 |

| === crashsystems is now known as crash|party-hat | ||
| jdeslip | I just saw that there is now a vncviewer android app. Works great with Ubuntu remote-desktop. | 23:27 |
| nhaines | It works okay. | 23:27 |
| nhaines | Input's a bit wonky sometimes. :) | 23:27 |
| jdeslip | Took a bit of getting used to anyway ;) | 23:27 |
| jdeslip | But, I think I am going to use it as a remote mouse for my mythbox/media-box | 23:27 |
| jdeslip | Clicking seemed to be pretty robust. Entering text was a bit more difficult | 23:28 |
| nhaines | It's pretty easy with a G1 or G2. :) | 23:34 |
| * pleia2 misses the proper keyboard | 23:35 | |
| pleia2 | I haven't seen the g2 yet, I'm glad they came out with one | 23:35 |
| nhaines | It looks like a Nexus One with a slide-out keyboard. | 23:37 |
| nhaines | It's also very heavy. :) | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | I like heavy, the nexus s is all plasticy and not heavy, no likey | 23:38 |
| nhaines | Yeah, it feels like a nice, solid piece of kit. | 23:38 |
