[05:12] <nhaines> My photographer did one heck of a job on my portrait today.
[05:12]  * nhaines should remember to give him a raise.
[16:11] <nhaines> jono: good morning!
[16:13] <jono> hey nhaines
[16:13] <jono> morning! :-)
[16:13] <jono> hows things?
[16:16] <jamiedmattingly> morning everyone
[16:17] <nhaines> jono: not too bad.  Got my slides in for SCaLE and Ubucon is looking really good... going to launch ubucon.org tonight I hope.
[16:18] <jono> cool :-)
[16:21] <MarkDude> aaditya, when are you planning on driving to Scale?
[17:40] <iheartubuntu> pleias2 sorry i have not yet finished. will be done tonite.
[17:40] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: no worries, thanks :)
[17:41] <iheartubuntu> BTW... I could not figure out what distro of linux, but Lowes hardware is using linux on many of their machines. It sorta of looks like Redhat but i dont see a red hat. I also see a firefox icon and a calculator icon on the bottom bar.
[17:42] <iheartubuntu> possible rain this coming weekend for 3 or 4 days straight during SCALE.
[17:43] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: yeah, they've been using it since 2002 or so (afaik it's their own spin on a version of redhat)
[17:43] <pleia2> a guy I know interviewed there for a linux job
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> smart business decision :)
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> MUST SAVE TONS OF MONEY
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> whoops
[17:45] <akk> Neat! Is this on their pay-point machines at the checkout line?
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> their checkout machines dont look the same to me
[17:46] <iheartubuntu> i notice it on computers in each dept.... like the window section, the piping section, etc
[17:47] <akk> Oh, cool, I haven't used those ... now I need to go back there so I can look. :)
[17:47] <pleia2> akk: yeah, the regular POS systems use it too (the self-checkouts don't afaik, those are bought from some 3rd party company)
[17:47] <nhaines> pleia2: your picture will soon be on SCaLE's website.  :)
[17:48] <pleia2> nhaines: yay! are you considering using the domain for other ubucons around the world?
[17:48] <nhaines> pleia2: that's the plan, yes.
[17:48] <pleia2> cool :)
[17:48] <nhaines> It made deploying for this Ubucon take longer but we're trying to keep URLs permanent.  :)
[17:48] <iheartubuntu> the pic with the pony tails i hope
[17:48] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: haha
[17:48]  * iheartubuntu did NOT just say that
[17:49] <nhaines> pleia2: I'm sorry I digitally removed the head of the guy next to you.  I'm sure he's very nice. :)
[17:49] <pleia2> nhaines: haha, thanks
[17:51] <nhaines> My portrait turned out really nice.  https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/speakers/nathan-haines
[17:51] <pleia2> oh that's great
[17:53] <MarkDude> Good pic nhaines
[17:53] <nhaines> pleia2: thanks!  David and I ran around Cabrillo Beach yesterday trying to find good lighting and a suitable background.
[17:53] <aaditya> As much as I'd love to attend, I'll end up missing SCALE 9x.
[17:54] <nhaines> aaditya: we'll miss you.
[17:54] <aaditya> It'd be an awesome event I'm sure.
[17:55] <MarkDude> Why no you there aaditya ?
[17:55] <aaditya> family's plans have been changing wildly, so things got a bit chaotic here.
[17:56] <MarkDude> ok
[18:00] <aaditya> pleia2: I'll cancel my registration so that someone else could use the code... assuming that's how it works.
[18:00] <pleia2> aaditya: ok, thanks, I'll make note of it
[18:02]  * MarkDude can use it for Chris- he is most likely going
[18:03] <pleia2> MarkDude: is he volunteering at our booth?
[18:04] <MarkDude> Possibly, if he is not then it would not apply :)
[18:04] <MarkDude> Goes without saying
[18:05] <pleia2> ok, well have him email me if he decides to be one of our core volunteers, I can get him the info
[18:05] <iheartubuntu> anyone plan to make copies of these flyers, ca team/ubuntu info, and cd sleeves? i can print a bunch in b/w
[18:05] <pleia2> otherwise the UBUCA code will get him half off :)
[18:06] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: I was planning to print a bunch of the 4-to-a-page fliers on orange paper, maybe 100
[18:07] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: please update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x with what you end up printing :)
[18:11] <iheartubuntu> i originally tried to convert one of the SVGs to black and white, but it screwed it up :) and i ran out of time to figure it out
[18:12] <pleia2> yeah, you'll just want to use our regular B&W logo, it looks really slick when printed
[18:12] <pleia2> some printers are lousy at greyscale, so I don't really like to use it
[18:13] <aaditya> pleia2: I'm unable to find my registration on the website. Please let me know if there's an action required on my part, alright?
[18:13] <pleia2> aaditya: you'll probably need to contact scale
[18:14] <pleia2> there should be a contact page or something that will allow you to email them to cancel your registration
[18:14] <aaditya> alright, I'll shoot them an email
[18:14] <pleia2> thanks
[18:15] <Eureka> wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited
[18:16] <aaditya> There isn't an email address on the only "contact us" page that I found, though there
[18:16] <aaditya>  s a mailing list.
[18:17] <aaditya> (how did I manage to hit enter instead of single quote?)
[18:17] <pleia2> aaditya: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/committees
[18:18] <pleia2> I'd email operations
[18:18] <aaditya> oh wait, email addresses are hidden in links!
[18:18] <pleia2> yeah, they're mailto: links
[18:26] <aaditya> pleia2: done, cc'ed you.
[18:28] <pleia2> aaditya: thanks :)
[18:28] <aaditya> you're welcome :)
[18:30] <pleia2> and sorry you can't make it!
