| airurando | morning all. | 09:51 |
|---|---|---|
| slashtom | good morning! | 09:56 |
| slashtom | is it death to the ubuntu hour? | 09:56 |
| airurando | ha ha | 09:59 |
| airurando | to be decided at a meeting I think | 09:59 |
| airurando | shame really | 10:00 |
| airurando | I can see both sides to the story | 10:00 |
| airurando | UH is different in purpose to PoTD | 10:00 |
| * slashtom suggests all those who vote to keep it turn up to the Ubuntu Hour | 10:00 | |
| airurando | however that purpose doesn't seem to working here at the moment | 10:01 |
| airurando | slashtom: good point but that is not always possible | 10:01 |
| airurando | As I see it PoTD is a social get together for uber linux geeks | 10:02 |
| slashtom | isn't that what Ubuntu Hour is? | 10:03 |
| airurando | As far as I know it's not. | 10:03 |
| airurando | UH is a very social event for users or wamma be users of Ubuntu | 10:04 |
| airurando | *wanna | 10:04 |
| airurando | far less uber geeks | 10:04 |
| slashtom | ok, PoTD is pretty much the same but for all Linux users not just the Ubuntu ones | 10:04 |
| airurando | drop in event for folks to find out more about Ubuntu | 10:04 |
| slashtom | has that happened? | 10:05 |
| airurando | yeah but I'd argue that PoTD is a lot more intimidating to wanna be ubuntu users. | 10:05 |
| airurando | has that happened? no you are absolutely right | 10:06 |
| airurando | and that is the problem | 10:06 |
| airurando | maybe we haven't promoted it right? | 10:06 |
| airurando | maybe Irish folks are not interested enough to attend one? | 10:07 |
| airurando | maybe Irish wanna be users are to shy or not confident enough to attend one? | 10:07 |
| airurando | lots of possibilities | 10:07 |
| slashtom | or people who want to find out more or solve their problems are using the internet? | 10:08 |
| airurando | indeed | 10:08 |
| airurando | as I said slashtom I see both sides. | 10:08 |
| airurando | It's not working for us at present for whatever reason. | 10:08 |
| airurando | but UH is a seperate type of event to PoTD. | 10:09 |
| airurando | slashtom: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 10:19 |
| airurando | first line states what UH should be. | 10:19 |
| slashtom | if you want to be different to PoTD... | 10:32 |
| slashtom | why not a coffee shop, first saturday of the month or something | 10:32 |
| airurando | aye indeed | 10:33 |
| airurando | slashtom: Its not that I or we want to be different from PoTD. | 10:34 |
| airurando | simply UH is an event with a different purpose. | 10:34 |
| airurando | thats all I'm saying | 10:34 |
| airurando | speaking as one of those lesser geeks UH was more apealing to me that PoTD. | 10:36 |
| ebel | hmm, regular weekend coffee shop... | 10:39 |
| airurando | anyone going to oggcamp? | 11:20 |
| ShaneM | airurando: Yep | 12:04 |
| airurando | Hi ShaneM | 12:28 |
| airurando | good for you. | 12:28 |
| airurando | do you know modes of transportation from Gatwick to Farnham | 12:28 |
| slashtom | http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ | 12:30 |
| airurando | in fact does anyone know the best way to get from Gatwick to Farnham? | 12:30 |
| airurando | thanks slashtom. | 12:31 |
| ShaneM | airurando: I've no idea to be honest. | 12:31 |
| ShaneM | airurando: I'm going to try and get a flight from Cork. | 12:31 |
| slashtom | i would have thought heathrow would be better | 12:32 |
| slashtom | but out of the cheap airports, gatwick would be much better than luton or stansted | 12:32 |
| airurando | ShaneM: I'm mulling over the possibility | 12:32 |
| airurando | slashtom: really? | 12:33 |
| slashtom | unless you get a hire car from gatwick | 12:34 |
| ShaneM | airurando: I haven't really looked at anything yet to be honest. | 12:34 |
| ShaneM | Probably will at the end of the month or so | 12:35 |
| ebel | gatwick is a larger airport | 12:36 |
| ebel | and has a trainstation | 12:36 |
| ebel | you can get from gatwick to the center of london on the gatwick express for something like £15 ? | 12:36 |
| slashtom | heathrow is not bad either | 12:36 |
| ebel | train station is right in the airport | 12:36 |
| ebel | heathrow has a tube station in it | 12:37 |
| slashtom | but best to avoid luton and stansted | 12:37 |
| slashtom | it does | 12:37 |
| ebel | birmingham airport also has a train station in it, real easy to get into birmingham city centre from the airport | 12:37 |
| airurando | rudimentary understanding of the map of the area. Thought Gatwick would be best. | 12:37 |
| airurando | so long as transport was available to farnham | 12:37 |
| slashtom | airurando: from gatwick you're going via central london | 12:38 |
| slashtom | even by car, it's longer as you would be going via motorway | 12:39 |
| slashtom | i don't know about heathrow | 12:39 |
| * airurando knows nothing | 12:40 | |
| airurando | :( | 12:40 |
| airurando | not sue I can swing it yet | 12:41 |
| airurando | needs to be cheap | 12:41 |
| slashtom | you know skyscanner.net? | 12:41 |
| airurando | I am off work for the first time and the flights currently look cheap...hmm | 12:41 |
| airurando | slashtom; no I don't. | 12:42 |
| slashtom | remember, no hand luggage ;) | 12:42 |
| airurando | Eh? | 12:44 |
| * airurando dashes off to collect the youngest kid from school | 12:50 | |
| ebel | airurando: i.e. fly with a budget airline and only take hand luggage | 13:35 |
| ebel | makes the flights might cheaper | 13:35 |
| airurando | I see the Zorin OS guys are branching into hardware. | 15:06 |
| airurando | http://zorinpc.com/ | 15:06 |
| airurando | Good luck to them. | 15:06 |
| airurando | ebel: if I'm going that was my plan it's just slashtoms last statement said remember, no hand luggage ;) | 15:10 |
| airurando | presume that was just sarcasm? | 15:11 |
| ebel | hehe he probabaly mistyped | 15:11 |
| ebel | My mum fly *loads* of times with a check in bag. twas silly | 15:11 |
| ebel | once the bag-on-wheels weighed 7 kg. | 15:11 |
| ebel | she was paying €20 for that. | 15:11 |
| ebel | sometimes people can forget about these things... | 15:12 |
| slashtom | aye, my mum gets no choice... i book her flights | 15:15 |
| slashtom | ebel: your sister is just as bad | 15:15 |
