[04:51] <rww> pleia2: so do you have to give that Google computer thing back at some point?
[07:10] <pleia2> rww: nope
[08:33] <DarkwingDuck> I wish I could have gotten one of those. :)
[08:34] <rww> I wouldn't have been too good as a Google services tester, tbh
[18:28] <davromaniak> hi
[18:29] <davromaniak> I don't actually know where to ask this question, and you are from california, so you might have an answer
[18:29] <MarkDude> davromaniak, - what ya got?
[18:29] <davromaniak> for my company (in France), I'm searching for renting dedicated servers near the Bay Area location, and I tried around Google, and nothing really comes up
[18:30] <davromaniak> maybe some sysadmins here might have some company names in head, ;)
[18:30] <pleia2> he.net is popular
[18:31] <pleia2> you have to get a quote though, since they're quite high-end
[18:31] <pleia2> I colo a server there, very nice, secure facilities
[18:31] <davromaniak> pleia2: I already know HE, but for the moment, it's more for test purposes, so I thought HE was more for long term contracts
[18:32] <pleia2> could you get away with some VPSes? Linode.com offers VPSes out of HE's Fremont location
[18:32] <pleia2> no contract or sign up cost, pay by month
[18:32] <davromaniak> yes, I think VPS could fit for what I need
[18:33] <davromaniak> thanks, I'm watching it
[18:33] <pleia2> I've had a linode for a few years, they're great
[18:33] <davromaniak> ok, :)
[18:34] <davromaniak> Actually, my company has offices in Paris, New York, and some people in Tokyo, and we are testing for replicate some data around the world, for easier and faster access
[18:34] <pleia2> ah :)
[18:35] <davromaniak> I can ensure you that Tokyo salesmen are crying when accessing to data hosted in France, ;)
[18:35] <pleia2> no doubt!
[18:36] <pleia2> MarkDude: can you update the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x to indicate which systems you're bringing will be dedicated to our booth for demos, and which will be shared between other tables?
[18:36] <pleia2> I won't be at our meeting tonight, but I'm hoping we can get some idea of what we actually have full-time demo-wise :)
[18:36] <MarkDude> pleia2, sure
[18:38] <Eureka> wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11February13 edited
[18:40] <davromaniak> I think Linode is quite perfect for our tests, thanks a lot pleia2
[18:41] <pleia2> davromaniak: you're welcome :)
[19:21] <danage> hello californians. i will be visiting your wonderful state tomorrow and i was wondering whether there happens to be any loco get-together next week, by any chance
[19:21] <danage> hi Flannel hi nhaines hi Yasumoto hi grantbow
[19:21] <pleia2> it's a big state! but you can see our upcoming events here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california
[19:21] <MarkDude> What part danage
[19:21] <MarkDude> ?
[19:21] <danage> LA
[19:22] <danage> pleia2: you're right i wasn't thinking about that, for me it's across the pond so california seems like a destination in and of itself :)
[19:22] <pleia2> jtatum: which silicon valley loco directory entry is the real one? both have RSVPs...
[19:22] <MarkDude> If you will be around the 26th -Scale is happening
[19:23] <danage> oh noes
[19:23] <jtatum> uhoh… there's more than one? shoot
[19:23] <danage> i'm leaving the 22nd
[19:24] <danage> it seems this loco has been growing since i left, quite impressive
[19:24] <pleia2> we've been busy :)
[19:24] <MarkDude> More events, and more stuff to do
[19:25] <jtatum> pleia2: i'm not sure how that happened
[19:25] <jtatum> any suggestions for fixing?
[19:26] <pleia2> jtatum: maybe delete yours? if you can't delete it let me know, I probably can as admin
[19:26] <jtatum> mine went out via email and forums
[19:26] <pleia2> ah
[19:26] <pleia2> I'd touch base with nUboon2Age then
[19:26] <jtatum> but i sure can… the funny thing is i did that while sitting right next to nUboon2age
[19:27] <pleia2> looks like he created the first one
[19:27] <jtatum> indeed
[19:27] <pleia2> I guess it doesn't strictly matter that there are two
[19:28] <jtatum> i'll work on it. can edit the forum post and send another email.
[19:30] <pleia2> maybe it's not worth the trouble
[19:30] <danage> no get togethers in LA this week :(
[19:30] <danage> ?
[19:30] <pleia2> looks like not :(
[19:31] <pleia2> but you're welcome to email the list and say you're a visiting ubuntu user who wants to see if anyone wants to meet up
[19:31] <danage> good idea thanks
[19:32] <danage> especially since i don't feel like packing right now :)
[19:32]  * pleia2 always does that, was able to meet some fellow ubuntu friends when she was staying with family over thanksgiving across the country
[19:32] <pleia2> nothing formal, just "I'm in town, wanna talk ubuntu and eat sandwiches?"
[19:32] <pleia2> was fun :)
