[20:48] <jhanafrog> =)
[20:49] <nhaines> jhanafrog: hello!
[20:49] <jhanafrog> hello!
[21:01] <kdub_> SD ubuntu hour was a lil weak :)
[21:06] <iheartubuntu> how many did you have kdub
[21:28] <kdub_> 2
[21:28] <kdub_> need a better marketing team
[21:34] <nhaines> kdub_: that's all I get in Lake Forest sometimes.  :)
[21:50] <iheartubuntu> 2 is better than none!
[21:57] <pleia2> yeah I've had hours even in SF with just 2 of us
[22:01] <jtatum> MTV hour conflicts with bay area python UG this month. so … we'll see :)
[22:04] <pleia2> it usually conflicts with baylisa
[22:04] <pleia2> so maybe you'll see an improvement :)
[22:04] <jtatum> hehe maybe
[22:04] <jtatum> this is the special pycon wrapup meeting though. i'm a little bummed to miss it
[22:05] <jtatum> heard pycon is here next year though so
[22:05] <pleia2> ah
[22:05] <akk> I hadn't heard that -- that's great!
[22:06] <jtatum> http://us.pycon.org/2012/
[22:07] <jtatum> wow, the gent in their countdown timer has a full unix beard
[22:07] <akk> Santa Clara, yay!
[22:07]  * akk starts thinking about topics for talk proposals
[23:06] <nhaines> jono: as preparation for expanding my 5-minute UpScale talk on effective Free Software advocacy into a full presentation, I'm thinking of writing a series of blog posts for Planet Ubuntu on each key point.
[23:07] <nhaines> jono: do you have any hints or tips on how to make that kind of series more effective?
[23:17] <iheartubuntu> use hand gestures :)
[23:18] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: I always do while speaking... but I try to be a little more subdued while typing.  ;)
[23:18] <iheartubuntu> :D
[23:20] <iheartubuntu> sounds interesting
[23:20] <nhaines> Hmm, I realized that SCaLE doesn't host slides for the UpScale talks and therefore my slides aren't hosted anywhere.  I shuold probably put them up somewhere.
[23:21] <pleia2> nhaines: btw, my slides are here: http://princessleia.com/presentations/FindingHelpInUbuntuScale9x.pdf (.odp too)
[23:21] <pleia2> if you need them for the site
[23:21] <nhaines> pleia2: thanks!  I do and I need to gather them because SCaLE wants them too.  :)
[23:26] <nhaines> I really like the new LibreOffice icons.  http://ubuntuone.com/p/jAT/
[23:41] <iheartubuntu> not to boost the egos of nhaines and pleia2 but you both did a *very* excellent job on your speeches at SCaLE9x
[23:45] <pleia2> thanks iheartubuntu :)
[23:45] <iheartubuntu> for those of you with "guilty" pets... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ISzf2pryI
[23:49] <iheartubuntu> when making a presentation, has anyone considered using URL shorteners like goo.gl for long URLs? Especially in print like in magazines it sure is nice to have a short URL to type in
[23:53] <nhaines> I never put URLs in presentations.  The only reason I had one in my UpScale talk was that it was the easiest way to credit Randall Munroe for the xkcd comic.
[23:54] <pleia2> I tend to assume people will download the slides later (it's what I do)
[23:55] <nhaines> pleia2: I'd put a reference slide in the back, for the downloaded set.  But I don't put URLs in anything I'm talking over.
[23:56] <nhaines> But I tend to make my slides pretty brief.
[23:57] <nhaines> Especially for UpScale, when they were going to be 20 seconds a piece.  :)
[23:57] <iheartubuntu> Hope one of my shots makes it into Natty... http://www.flickr.com/photos/iheartubuntu/
