| GTswagger | jbicha: JonathanD: julian_c: lfaraone: lubotu1: paulproteus: ping | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| GTswagger | Sorry to ping everybody, but I desperately need speakers for the UbuCon at the SouthEast LinuxFest. | 01:25 |
| GTswagger | Due to unforseen circumstances, if I can't fill it we'll have to partially or fully cancel UbuCon. | 01:25 |
| GTswagger | SELF 2011 is June 10th-12th in Spartanburg, SC ... there is an UbuCon Fri the 10th and Sun the 12th. | 01:26 |
| GTswagger | Anybody (aside from the already confirmed maco) game to speak? | 01:26 |
| jbicha | how soon do you need to know for sure? | 01:27 |
| GTswagger | jbicha: the sooner the better, but no firm deadline really | 01:28 |
| jbicha | GTswagger: ping me again or email if you don't hear anything from me by this weekend, thanks | 01:38 |
| GTswagger | jbicha: k | 01:39 |
| jbicha | I'll do some, but I'm swamped the next couple days & since I haven't presented at a con before, I'll need to figure out | 01:40 |
| jbicha | how much I can commit to reasonably | 01:40 |
| GTswagger | jbicha: as much as you would like. | 01:43 |
| GTswagger | I humbly recommend, perhaps, 2 talks? | 01:43 |
| GTswagger | You can speak early on, see what it's like, and tweak your 2nd to adjust | 01:43 |
| jbicha | how many go to these sessions? I've never been to SELF before | 01:44 |
| jbicha | I think one of my talks will be about contributing to Gnome/Ubuntu docs | 01:45 |
| GTswagger | jbicha: I profess I don't know when it comes to UbuCon. Last year we tripled the conference without tripling staff so I was crazy busy. | 01:45 |
| GTswagger | SELF general tracks usually had between 20-200+ depending on the talk and appeal | 01:46 |
| GTswagger | total attendance is 1,000+ | 01:46 |
| jbicha | ok, I think 2 talks will be ok for me, it'll be a bit nerve-wracking but I need to get experience doing this some time | 01:47 |
| GTswagger | excellent | 01:47 |
| GTswagger | speakers@southeastlinuxfest.org | 01:48 |
| GTswagger | Email the talk title, brief talk description, and a brief bio about yourself. | 01:48 |
| GTswagger | and when you would like to speak, perferrably on Sunday. | 01:48 |
| GTswagger | I don't think the Friday UbuCon is going to make it based upon me already blasting through my known *buntu contacts. | 01:48 |
| GTswagger | but it looks like we'll have a Sunday one | 01:49 |
| jbicha | ha, ubucon in the Fedora room | 01:51 |
| jbicha | that's nice of them to help sponsor though :-) | 01:52 |
| bcurtiswx | where is SELF held? | 02:10 |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: hi. | 02:13 |
| JonathanD | ah | 02:13 |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: I doubt I can. I'm overcommitted financially for conferences as it is. | 02:14 |
| JonathanD | and self is a lonnnng drive | 02:17 |
| GTswagger | JonathanD: Amtrak. | 02:21 |
| GTswagger | You're in DC. | 02:21 |
| GTswagger | Aka the one place in the universe Amtrak makes sense. | 02:21 |
| julian_c | I'd consider it, but I'd just be getting back from a conference, and I'm on call at work that weekend. | 02:21 |
| GTswagger | JonathanD: Spartanburg's Amtrak is across the street from the hotel. | 02:21 |
| GTswagger | bcurtiswx: Spartanburg, SC Marriott | 02:21 |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: I'm in Philly :) | 02:26 |
| lfaraone | GTswagger: I *probably* won't be able to make it. | 02:26 |
| * lfaraone is in DC, but will be doing an unpaid internship throughout June. | 02:27 | |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: I only hang out here for the free cookies. | 02:27 |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: I'll look into the viability of amtrak tomorrow, but I really have no budget for anything until July, so I'd have to figure out where it'd come from. | 02:29 |
| GTswagger | JonathanD: no worries | 02:30 |
| GTswagger | lfaraone: If your situation changes just give me a shout | 02:30 |
| lfaraone | GTswagger: well, I wouldn't know until June 1ish. Is that too late? | 02:30 |
| GTswagger | lfaraone: maybe maybe not ... depends on how the tracks fill ... it is plausible there could be slots then | 02:31 |
| JonathanD | I might have more left over post camping than I though. | 02:35 |
| JonathanD | *thought | 02:35 |
| JonathanD | If so I could probably train. | 02:35 |
| JonathanD | GTswagger: well, I'll see what I can come up with. | 02:37 |
| JonathanD | 229 | 02:40 |
| JonathanD | erm | 02:40 |
| bcurtiswx | lfaraone: Internship where? | 02:41 |
