| _marx_ | dang self | 00:44 |
| GTswagger | There's an UbuCon on Fri and Sun at the 2011 SouthEast LinuxFest. | 00:44 |
| GTswagger | And due to some unforseen circumstances, at this time if I can't fill it we're pulling the plug. | 00:44 |
| GTswagger | And I reallllllly don't want to do that this late. | 00:45 |
| GTswagger | SELF 2011 is June 10th-12th. | 00:45 |
| _marx_ | oh gee | 00:45 |
| GTswagger | So there's an UbuCon on Fri the 10th and Sun the 12th. | 00:45 |
| * _marx_ checking calendar | 00:45 | |
| GTswagger | Anybody able to give a talk or recommend somebody who can? | 00:45 |
| _marx_ | i made the first one, missed the second one | 00:45 |
| bladernr_ | so how much of it IS filled? And I really don't know if there's much I can talk about. :/ | 00:46 |
| bladernr_ | akgraner would be an excellent talk! She should give and extended talk on not trolling that she gave at UDS :-) | 00:46 |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: Right now? One Sunday talk. But I just started looking. | 00:46 |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: akgraner cannot make it due to personal reasons. | 00:47 |
| _marx_ | blown knee at least | 00:47 |
| GTswagger | Pretty much. | 00:47 |
| jack_^ | GTswagger, is that the one in NC? | 00:47 |
| jack_^ | eeh SC* | 00:47 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: ugh... this close to an event... that's not cool. | 00:47 |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: Sorry, it's beyond SELF's control. | 00:48 |
| * _marx_ goes to ping tarvid in va | 00:48 | |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: oh no worries. I am just feeling your pain is all... I've been in similar situations before, so I completely sympathize | 00:48 |
| _marx_ | bladernr_: aren't you a hardware tester? | 00:49 |
| bladernr_ | _marx_: yeah... but I don't know that I could do any sort of interesting talk... maybe. | 00:49 |
| bladernr_ | Oh... actually, maybe I do. | 00:49 |
| jack_^ | you talking about pulling the plug on jus the ubucon? i have a buddy who does a music production in linux talk. he switches it up between fedora and ubuntu. maybe he'd be game. | 00:50 |
| bladernr_ | crud... GTswagger ping me tomorrow... I may actually have something useful. | 00:50 |
| GTswagger | jack_^: Yea, just the UbuCon ... and I'd love that talk. | 00:50 |
| GTswagger | <--- SELF's Speaker Coordinator | 00:50 |
| jack_^ | yeah its pretty impressive. where is SELF? is it in SC again this year? | 00:50 |
| GTswagger | Spartanburg, SC Marriott | 00:50 |
| bladernr_ | We're doing something new for Oneiric that we really want to see take off: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly | 00:51 |
| bladernr_ | We == Canonical Hardware Certification | 00:51 |
| jack_^ | GTswagger, do you frequent freenode? I'll give your irc nick so he can message you if interested. | 00:51 |
| _marx_ | ah | 00:51 |
| mhall119 | GTswagger: at this point I'm not sure if I'll be there, otherwise I'd say yes | 00:51 |
| mhall119 | when is self? | 00:53 |
| _marx_ | soon | 00:53 |
| GTswagger | June 10-12. | 00:53 |
| mhall119 | :( | 00:53 |
| GTswagger | jack_^: I'm always in #southeastlinuxfest | 00:53 |
| mhall119 | yeah, that's only like 2 days after school lets out | 00:53 |
| jack_^ | w0rd | 00:53 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: because I'm too lazy to dig through the website right now, is there an attendance fee and do you know if they still have rooms at the venue? | 00:54 |
| mhall119 | I still need to get new tires for my camper and get the A/C fixed before I do any traveling | 00:54 |
| mhall119 | sorry GTswagger | 00:55 |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: SELF costs $0 to attend, there are still rooms but we've already expanded our block 4 times and the hotel is near capacity. | 00:55 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: heh... nice (that sounds like what happens at UDS) | 00:55 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: ok, like I said, ping me tomorrow afternoon some time. I'll see what I can do, if you'd like a talk about Ubuntu Friendly. It was just announced at UDS, so there is NOTHING in the way of info beyond the blueprints and brief wiki at the moment. | 00:56 |
| * _marx_ starts plotting gta there but gta back... | 00:56 | |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: Will do ... and don't feel shy about taking more than one slot. :) | 00:57 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: meh... not sure I'd have anything more interesting to talk about (or even remotely close to as interesting). Who cares about hardware certification? :/ | 00:59 |
| bladernr_ | heh | 00:59 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: how long are the slots? | 00:59 |
| GTswagger | One hour. | 00:59 |
| GTswagger | precisely. | 00:59 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: cool... You may also want to try pinging JFo I don't know if he ever comes in here, but he works on the kernel team and does some good talks as well. He usually hangs out in #ubuntu-kernel and lives near Asheville, NC so it wouldn't be a stretch for him either. | 01:01 |
| GTswagger | bladernr_: I tried him first. :) | 01:03 |
| GTswagger | He won't be in town it would appear. | 01:03 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: ahhh... so we're all just the backup plan ?? :( | 01:03 |
| bladernr_ | GTswagger: ^^^ just kidding ;-) | 01:03 |
| GTswagger | :) | 01:04 |
| bladernr_ | Honestly, I am pretty sure I will still be in town. I dont "think" I have anything pressing until the end of the month. Anyway, I need to go eat dinner... | 01:04 |
| bladernr_ | Cheers | 01:04 |
| BugeyeD | GTswagger: i'm all booked through and past self (i'll be at self, just no time to prepare for a talk). i'm a do'er and not a talk'er anyway, and have stage fright - so we'd prolly have to pressure wash the stage afterward if i were to get up there in the first place ... :) | 12:25 |
| BugeyeD | unfortunate news, for sure. i've never been to an ubucon before, either. i haven't missed a self though. | 12:26 |
| BugeyeD | so thanks for what you do. | 12:26 |

| GTswagger | BugeyeD: I can provide a pressure washer ... no problem ... when can I pencil you in for? :) | 18:58 |
