[05:21] <valorie> hey MarkDude
[05:21] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}
[05:21] <MarkDude> Carll from 76 is a real nice guy
[05:21] <Captainkrtek> lol lots of brackets
[05:21] <MarkDude> ((((((((hugs))))))))))) back
[05:21] <valorie> no cool Kub. stuff though
[05:22] <valorie> danke
[05:22]  * MarkDude thinks 76 should have KDE as well as one unit at least that can do Fedora
[05:22] <Captainkrtek> hmm I want a 76
[05:22] <Captainkrtek> no money :/
[05:22] <MarkDude> ZAreason- does like 500 Distros
[05:23] <MarkDude> ok maybe only 12
[05:23] <Captainkrtek> any other laptop manufacturers like 76?
[05:23] <MarkDude> Hey what about a picnic next to the nuclear reactors?
[05:23] <Captainkrtek> hehe
[05:23] <Captainkrtek> also wtf: http://cgi.ebay.com/UBUNTU-10-10-BEST-LINUX-OPERATING-SYSTEM-4-PC-LAPTOP-/170636580930?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item27babb9842#ht_5428wt_1230
[05:24] <Captainkrtek> selling Ubuntu, and it's maverick
[05:24] <MarkDude> Not quite yet- a few of the outlier companies might be able to pull oem status soon
[05:24] <Captainkrtek> cool
[05:25]  * MarkDude has found that my biggest hassles in advocating FOSS are not MS folks or Apple- it is your allies that can be your biggest liability
[05:25] <Captainkrtek> yeah
[05:25] <MarkDude> such as folks selling crap with Linux
[05:25] <valorie> that is what we need to turn around
[05:26] <valorie> we're on the side of Freedom
[05:26] <MarkDude> Yep
[05:26] <valorie> so let's cut the internecine crap
[05:27]  * MarkDude used to work with alternative energy- it was not the folks on the opposite side of the spectrum that were really opposed- it was the folks you would least expect
[05:27]  * MarkDude steps off soapbox
[05:27] <valorie> that's one of the things I like about Ubuntu/Canonical -- they are bringing more flavors under the roof
[05:27] <Captainkrtek> weird
[05:27] <valorie> Lubuntu people are at UDS
[05:28] <MarkDude> Most folks in other Distros feel the same way
[05:28] <valorie> and Xubuntu
[05:28] <valorie> and Kub, of course
[05:28] <Captainkrtek> anyone here know much about the mirroring process for ubuntu
[05:28] <Captainkrtek> cause my mirror have been pending review for a bit
[05:28] <Captainkrtek> been waiting: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/slashdev.org
[05:28]  * valorie just does torrents
[05:28] <Captainkrtek> I've put my mirror up for torture ;)
[05:32] <Captainkrtek> hello Ashex 
[05:32] <Ashex> Hello
[05:32] <Captainkrtek> and hello althara 
[05:32] <althara> hello
[05:33] <Captainkrtek> MarkDude, you on the bug control team?
[05:49] <MarkDude> Uh no Captainkrtek 
[05:50] <Captainkrtek> k
[05:50]  * MarkDude is a Linux Advocate/Evangelist
[05:50] <MarkDude> talker :D
[05:50] <Captainkrtek> gotcha
[05:50] <Captainkrtek> heh
[05:51] <Captainkrtek> his is what I do: 
[05:51] <Captainkrtek> https://launchpad.net/~steven.richards
[05:51] <MarkDude> One of my main points about FOSS since I first started- was that I did not need to - to get a huge amount out of it
[05:54] <Captainkrtek> hehe Im in too many channels: http://i.imgur.com/pxEsL.png
[06:02] <MarkDude> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2424094/Screenshot.png
[06:02] <MarkDude> Me too
[06:03]  * MarkDude used to be in 30+channels- it involved to much scrolling
[06:04] <MarkDude> Beefy Miracle is actually related to Fedora- sort of a long story
[06:04] <Captainkrtek> hehe
[06:04]  * MarkDude is part of both Ubuntu and Fedora- since my primary thing is FOSS rather than specifics
[06:05] <Captainkrtek> cool :)
[06:05] <Captainkrtek> where in WA are you located?
[06:05] <MarkDude> first is actually Creative Commons, but I digress
[06:05]  * MarkDude is actually in Northern California
[06:05] <Captainkrtek> heh
[06:05] <Captainkrtek> what are you doing here haha
[06:05] <MarkDude> Lived in Portland and Vancouver Washington for a few years
[06:06] <Captainkrtek> ahh neat
[06:06] <MarkDude> was living down here and working in PNW
[06:06] <Captainkrtek> I see
[06:06] <MarkDude> and have spent the last few years traveling to Free Geek and learning how to set a similar thing up down here
[06:07] <MarkDude> http://partimus.org/isa.php
[06:07]  * MarkDude sees himself as a West Coast person more than anything
[06:08] <Captainkrtek> very cool
[06:08] <MarkDude> Officially I am lead contact for Oregon Team as it restarts
[06:08] <MarkDude> and hope by end of Summer to have a replacement for myself
[06:09] <Captainkrtek> cool project
[06:09] <MarkDude> And besides, any channel that has valorie in it - is good in my book
[06:09] <valorie> rofl
[06:09] <Captainkrtek> im new to the whole FOSS community, aside from my android involvment
[06:09] <Captainkrtek> been usuing ubuntu since feisty though
[06:09] <valorie> I can't fit all the chans anymore, since I have all the UDS rooms
[06:09] <Captainkrtek> just never contributed much
[06:09]  * MarkDude loves the PNW, and if I dont end up living here - I will settle back there
[06:10]  * MarkDude keeps putting off getting into irssi
[06:10] <Captainkrtek> nahh
[06:10] <Captainkrtek> I use xchat
[06:11] <Captainkrtek> I have a few people from my camp at UDS
[06:12] <MarkDude> It would have been fun to go
[06:12] <Captainkrtek> I will hopefully go next year
[06:12] <Captainkrtek> I can fly for very good prices
[06:13] <Captainkrtek> where is 2012 UDS?
[06:14] <MarkDude> They dont let people know until the last minute, IMHO
[06:15] <Captainkrtek> gotcha
[06:19] <valorie> next one will be in Orlando
[06:19] <valorie> they let that be leaked quite awhile ago
[06:19] <valorie> they liked that location a lot last time
[06:20] <valorie> smelled like the old dog had gas, so I took him outside
[06:20] <MarkDude> Ok- I hope to be able to be setting up a comp0uter lab in Hialeah Florida after UDS
[06:20] <Captainkrtek> awesome
[06:20] <valorie> he wanted right back in -- sure enough, it was more than gas, and already taken care of.....
[06:20] <Captainkrtek> hopefully Ill go next year
[06:21] <valorie> I look forward to visiting my friend who lives on the Wekivah River again
[06:21] <valorie> it was amazing
[06:22] <valorie> spent the weekend before UDS there
[06:22] <valorie> soooo fun
[06:23] <MarkDude> lol
[06:25]  * MarkDude wants to hang out with the halls
[06:25] <MarkDude> and itnet7
[06:38] <valorie> indeed
[06:38] <valorie> I wish it would have worked to stay with Michelle another day
[06:38] <valorie> as it was, it was just a hassle for them
[06:39] <MarkDude> Well if I scedule it correctly - I may be able to get a few extra volunteers to help set up the lab
[06:43] <Captainkrtek> MarkDude, feel free to use my Mirror to DL ubuntu
[06:44] <Captainkrtek> it's fast :)
[06:44] <Captainkrtek> http://mirror.slashdev.org/ubuntu
[06:45]  * MarkDude is running old versions of everything at the moment
[06:46] <Captainkrtek> old skool
