| akgraner | jcastro - open week email (though I for to add Sessions Needed to the subject line) just went out to various lists and individual people...:-) | 15:00 |
| akgraner | we only need 14 people or teams of people...that's not too many more... | 15:00 |
| nigelb | oh, need help with people. | 15:00 |
| akgraner | yep let me send you the email | 15:00 |
| nigelb | akgraner: I had an idea earlier. I want to run it by you. | 15:00 |
| nigelb | So, we had lightning talks the last 2 times, one hosted by me and one hosted by mhall119 (thanks again) | 15:01 |
| akgraner | nigelb, email should in your inbox... | 15:01 |
| nigelb | I saw the one you sent to UW :-) | 15:01 |
| akgraner | :-) | 15:01 |
| nigelb | Wait, UoW focus is on end user? | 15:02 |
| nigelb | I thought it was contributors... | 15:02 |
| akgraner | both | 15:02 |
| nigelb | *faceplam* that's the Week I'm in Delhi :( | 15:02 |
| akgraner | but you are usually an end user then a contributor | 15:02 |
| akgraner | ;-) | 15:02 |
| nigelb | Good point. | 15:03 |
| akgraner | so this is the start of that process...Use Ubuntu --> Learn about all the areas or one area of interest --> Contribute | 15:04 |
| akgraner | (or at least that's how I think about it) | 15:04 |
| akgraner | but if you don't know what all there is available out there how can you decided what interests you? | 15:04 |
| nigelb | good point | 15:04 |
| akgraner | So let's introduce people to all these awesome areas and help end users become better more effective, efficient users who will then (maybe) want to be a part if the awesome teams as members and contributers... | 15:06 |
| akgraner | that's my thinking anyway :-D | 15:06 |
| akgraner | SO who's with me - take a look and add your session! yes? :-D (ok please) | 15:07 |
| nigelb | I'll poke the UW folks I can this week and see if anyone's interested | 15:07 |
| akgraner | I wouldn't mind giving one - but I have no idea what to talk about... | 15:07 |
| akgraner | so if someone suggestions something they would like me to talk about ...I'll give a session as well... | 15:08 |
| nigelb | akgraner: 'NTEU to Geek' | 15:08 |
| nigelb | JFo, mhall119, cjohnston ^^ | 15:08 |
| nigelb | Please +1 that suggestion :D | 15:08 |
| akgraner | nigelb, I'm not sure people want to that - I'm not sure I'm geek enough yet...:-/ | 15:09 |
| nigelb | hah | 15:09 |
| nigelb | I'll ask your kids what they think of that :p | 15:09 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: you're still trying to deny your geekiness? | 15:09 |
| akgraner | nigelb, I'll tell you what - if you can get me 10 questions to answer as it relates to that - I'll do it... | 15:09 |
| nigelb | akgraner: You could do something about commandline and how to use it | 15:10 |
| akgraner | (that other people or yourself want to know about that would help others) | 15:10 |
| nigelb | the title certainly fits that kind of a talk :D | 15:10 |
| akgraner | nigelb, while I use the commandline I prefer a gui over it almost everytime | 15:10 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: you and becca should make a "Friday" parody song and video | 15:11 |
| mhall119 | maybe s/Friday/Natty/ | 15:11 |
| mhall119 | and make JFo do the random rapping part | 15:11 |
| nigelb | hehe | 15:12 |
| akgraner | Pete tried to take my mouse away and force commandline usage - I said "step away from my mouse and no one gets hurt!" | 15:12 |
| mhall119 | "It's Natty, Natty, gotta download Natty. Everybody's looking forward to the up grade" | 15:12 |
| akgraner | mhall119, let me get the Get this party started parody for release week finished first... | 15:13 |
| nigelb | akgraner: *cough*, he should have disbled the mouse from the kernel. | 15:13 |
| akgraner | we have the sound music track now we are going to overlay the vocals using audacity sometime this weekend | 15:13 |
| nigelb | I'll suggest that to jfo. | 15:13 |
| mhall119 | nigelb: lol | 15:13 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: getting the hang of audacity? | 15:14 |
| akgraner | yep - Carla's Book is awesome! | 15:14 |
| akgraner | Once I get finished I'll write a review and how it helped us do this | 15:14 |
| nigelb | akgraner: that's it! | 15:15 |
| nigelb | akgraner: How to use audacity! | 15:15 |
| akgraner | Ummm let me see if I can get Carla to do that one... | 15:18 |
| akgraner | :-) | 15:18 |
| akgraner | after she wrote the book... | 15:18 |
| nigelb | ah, yes! | 15:18 |
| JFo | nigelb, :-) | 15:22 |
| * JFo plans an SRU | 15:22 | |
| nigelb | heh | 15:22 |
| JFo | if $user contains(akgraner) | 15:23 |
| nigelb | JFo: exactly what I was thinking | 15:23 |
| akgraner | ummm that's not funny especially when I figure out how to change it back... | 15:24 |
| JFo | you think we can't bury it in C code? | 15:24 |
| JFo | you misjudge our determination ;-) | 15:24 |
| JFo | you misjudge our determination ;-)p | 15:25 |
| JFo | resistance is futile | 15:25 |
| nigelb | we are the borg | 15:25 |
| JFo | yeah, I typed that for the second one... but I apparently hit the arrow key :-/ | 15:25 |
| JFo | today is a bad typey day | 15:25 |
| nigelb | heh | 15:25 |
| JFo | :) | 15:26 |
| mhall119 | JFo: unfortunately, bzr will give it away pretty quickly | 15:27 |
| JFo | bzr? | 15:27 |
| JFo | the kernel source is in git | 15:27 |
| nigelb | mhall119: kernel is not in bzr is it? | 15:27 |
| mhall119 | okay, then git will give it away | 15:27 |
| JFo | and we would hide it in a rebase | 15:27 |
| mhall119 | oh, now that's just evil | 15:27 |
| nigelb | or we could commit one char at a time | 15:27 |
| JFo | dig through several thousand commits if you wnat :) | 15:27 |
| nigelb | like if($foo=a) | 15:28 |
| nigelb | then ak | 15:28 |
| nigelb | then akg | 15:28 |
| nigelb | also in a rebase | 15:28 |
| JFo | nigelb, it owuld be even better if we simply compared a hash | 15:28 |
| JFo | then you never see the chars | 15:28 |
| mhall119 | course, she could just change her username | 15:28 |
| JFo | just a comparison of the user with the hash | 15:29 |
| JFo | mhall119, we have ways of knowing about those types of things :-) | 15:29 |
| mhall119 | maybe she doesn't even use 'akgraner' for her local username | 15:29 |
| nigelb | we can always check with pete :P | 15:29 |
| mhall119 | heh, spoken like a bachelor | 15:30 |
| JFo | there are many other things we could do... | 15:30 |
| * JFo cackles evilly | 15:30 | |
| nigelb | ask Becca or Matt. | 15:30 |
| nigelb | JFo: on an unrelated note, we could just write a script to do it and put in bash.rc | 15:30 |
| nigelb | .bashrcf | 15:30 |
| nigelb | .bashrc | 15:30 |
| JFo | true | 15:31 |
| nigelb | UGH, today is typo day | 15:31 |
| JFo | "bad spelling friday" | 15:31 |
| akgraner | you guys are evil...:-p | 15:32 |
| paultag | wait, what are we doing? | 15:33 |
| akgraner | ok I emailed Carla...let's hope she says yes! | 15:33 |
| nigelb | paultag: trying to turn off akgraner's mouse so that she learns command line | 15:33 |
| nigelb | paultag: care to sugest ideas | 15:33 |
| paultag | Oh, easy | 15:33 |
| nigelb | JFo: ^^ | 15:33 |
| * nigelb takes notes | 15:33 | |
| paultag | remove /dev/input/mouse0 | 15:33 |
| paultag | or mice | 15:34 |
| paultag | whatever it uses | 15:34 |
| nigelb | aha | 15:34 |
| paultag | then cat random numbers in it's place | 15:34 |
| paultag | oh that's even better | 15:34 |
| paultag | just have an app cat random numbers at mouse0 | 15:34 |
| paultag | so that it just jumps around randomly | 15:34 |
| nigelb | JFo: we haz the perfect tool. | 15:35 |
| JFo | hmmm | 15:37 |
| akgraner | yeah - hmmmm..... | 15:37 |
| JFo | :) | 15:37 |
| * nigelb goes home. In the rain. | 15:38 | |
| akgraner | Again - Step away from my mouse and no one will get hurt! | 15:38 |
| akgraner | nigelb, :-( | 15:38 |
| nigelb | We will not do anything to your mouse ma'am. | 15:38 |
| JFo | I'm not getting near your mouse... this will happen by way of updates :-) | 15:38 |
| * JFo thinks kees would love this | 15:38 | |
| nigelb | JFo: <whisper>let's grab the Ip address and do this during UDS</whisper> | 15:38 |
| JFo | lol | 15:39 |
| nigelb | if akgraner's computer is unattended, attack! | 15:39 |
| nigelb | ok, time to drive back home. I hope I don't get sick. | 15:40 |
| paultag | why don't we just see what PPAs she uses | 15:40 |
| paultag | then upload bash to it | 15:40 |
| paultag | with this nice payload in it | 15:40 |
| paultag | it's a feature | 15:41 |
| paultag | it prevents starting the screensaver | 15:41 |
| akgraner | doctormo, what time and date work best for you? | 15:49 |

| duanedesign | jcastro: when can people sign up for the Lightning Talks at UDS? | 16:08 |
| akgraner | duanedesign, I know you want to give a screen casting session for Ubuntu Open Week don't ya? | 16:13 |
| duanedesign | akgraner: yes, I did say I would do that | 16:16 |
| akgraner | take a look at the schedule and just add it in there - thanks! | 16:17 |
| duanedesign | akgraner: I will add a todo item for that | 16:18 |
| akgraner | Thanks! | 16:21 |
| akgraner | ok so Rikki Kite with Linux New Media said she would give a session on writing good press releases | 16:49 |
| akgraner | and take general Q and A from the community on best practices for promoting projects, events etc to the press | 16:49 |
| akgraner | what do you all think? | 16:50 |
| akgraner | How cool is it we'll get an hour with a professional publisher to teach us better ways to promote our events and projects | 16:56 |
| akgraner | woot woot! :-) Also best practice for writing press releases and more...I'm excited.. now if we can just get the schedules to line up... | 16:57 |
| akgraner | woot woot - shoot, score win ! Carla will give the Audacity class! | 17:11 |
| akgraner | jcastro, ^^^^^ | 17:11 |
| jussi | akgraner: epic! D: | 17:13 |
| jussi | :D | 17:13 |
| akgraner | I thought so... | 17:14 |
| akgraner | I am so freakin happy - rikki and carla woot woot woot...:-) | 17:14 |
| nigelb | akgraner: \o/ | 17:15 |
| akgraner | nigelb, we're getting there... | 17:19 |
| nigelb | akgraner: haha, 'no snake poo here' | 17:52 |
| akgraner | nigelb, I know ...:-( | 17:54 |
| JFo | heh | 17:56 |
| mhall119 | lol | 18:38 |
| mhall119 | I guess pete's not a fan of dynamic typing | 18:38 |
| akgraner | mhall119, you'll have to ask him | 18:40 |
| mhall119 | or maybe he just don't like interpreted languages | 18:42 |
| mhall119 | or, gasp, maybe he *likes* pointers | 18:43 |
| * mhall119 shudders at the thought | 18:43 | |
| tsimpson | everything in an interpreted language is a pointer, you just can't manipulate it is all | 18:46 |
| mhall119 | under the hood maybe | 18:46 |
| mhall119 | but as a developer all you see are references | 18:47 |
| mhall119 | same with Java, actualy | 18:47 |
| akgraner | mhall119, I don't know...:-/ | 18:48 |

| jcastro | JFo: ping | 20:18 |
| JFo | jcastro, pong | 20:22 |
| jcastro | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_mobile_uffda&num=1 | 20:22 |
| jcastro | can you put that on the proper kernel team radar? | 20:22 |
| JFo | sure | 20:23 |
| * jcastro isn't sure who is power hmfic these days | 20:23 | |
| JFo | it is probably already there | 20:23 |
| JFo | but I will make sure | 20:23 |
| * jcastro nods | 20:25 | |
| mhall119 | my external USB keeps unmounting itself in the middle of my rsync backup...this probably isn't a good sign | 20:53 |
| mhall119 | I suppose I should start pricing out new backup solutions | 20:54 |
