[18:55] <MarkDude> Hello everyone, I wish I could make it to LFNW
[18:55] <MarkDude> I will be in Portland for CLS and OSCON
[18:55] <Salt> BOOOOO
[18:56] <Salt> LFNW is FREEEEE
[18:56] <Salt> actually, is OSCON free if you booth >_>
[18:57] <MarkDude> Well Oregon actually is planning a release party
[18:57] <MarkDude> And to have folks at OSCON
[18:57]  * MarkDude wants to use the local team events thing for their party at the end of the month
[18:57] <MarkDude> WAshingtons
[18:58] <Salt> you know there'll prob be a release party at lfnw >_>
[18:58]  * MarkDude got clearance for this from local team usa folks
[18:58] <Salt> along with other party like activities
[18:58] <MarkDude> that is 3 hours from some folks
[18:58] <MarkDude> is it on the directory?
[18:59] <Salt> no, but it's a gathering of linux folk, the team will have a table, and it's 2 days after the release
[18:59] <Salt> so i figure
[18:59] <MarkDude> fair enough
[19:00]  * MarkDude figures no one would mind using the WA event thing- and pointing out it is in Portland
[19:00] <Salt> yea
[19:01] <MarkDude> So - I will be talking to Oreilly- is WA getting any SWAG from them- books and such?
[19:01] <Salt> unsure, i need to get ahold of peanutb, he was handling that stuff
[19:02] <Salt> while you're chatting, mind letting me know how gslug could get some swag too ;)
[19:17] <MarkDude> Cool
[19:18] <MarkDude> are they willing to do a few reviews of books that are sent to them?
[19:18]  * MarkDude also has a few Metal Ubuntu case badges I cn send your way
[19:20] <Salt> yeah, we used to have the review thing going
[19:20] <Salt> but when dan departed it left with him
[19:25] <MarkDude> Ok- I can put in request with Jon and Marsee

[19:54] <seattlegaucho> I hope to get to meet w/ some of you in real life :)
[19:57] <MarkDude> you will
[19:57]  * MarkDude is guessing it is up to me to get the ball rolling for the Ubuntu table this year
[19:57] <MarkDude> I did it last year- and I expect more people this year
[19:59] <Salt> seattlegaucho, coming to lfnw?
[19:59] <seattlegaucho> Nope :( ... family issues will take me to Pulman ... the other end of the state 
[20:00] <Salt> aye
[20:00] <Salt> unfortunate
[20:22] <seattlegaucho> nothing serious ... just making sure everything will be fine through the end of the academic year
