[00:44] And due to some unforseen circumstances, at this time if I can't fill it we're pulling the plug. [00:45] And I reallllllly don't want to do that this late. [00:45] SELF 2011 is June 10th-12th. [00:45] <_marx_> oh gee [00:45] So there's an UbuCon on Fri the 10th and Sun the 12th. [00:45] * _marx_ checking calendar [00:45] Anybody able to give a talk or recommend somebody who can? [00:45] <_marx_> i made the first one, missed the second one [00:46] so how much of it IS filled? And I really don't know if there's much I can talk about. :/ [00:46] akgraner would be an excellent talk! She should give and extended talk on not trolling that she gave at UDS :-) [00:46] bladernr_: Right now? One Sunday talk. But I just started looking. [00:47] bladernr_: akgraner cannot make it due to personal reasons. [00:47] <_marx_> blown knee at least [00:47] Pretty much. [00:47] GTswagger, is that the one in NC? [00:47] eeh SC* [00:47] GTswagger: ugh... this close to an event... that's not cool. [00:48] bladernr_: Sorry, it's beyond SELF's control. [00:48] * _marx_ goes to ping tarvid in va [00:48] GTswagger: oh no worries. I am just feeling your pain is all... I've been in similar situations before, so I completely sympathize [00:49] <_marx_> bladernr_: aren't you a hardware tester? [00:49] _marx_: yeah... but I don't know that I could do any sort of interesting talk... maybe. [00:49] Oh... actually, maybe I do. [00:50] 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] crud... GTswagger ping me tomorrow... I may actually have something useful. [00:50] jack_^: Yea, just the UbuCon ... and I'd love that talk. [00:50] <--- SELF's Speaker Coordinator [00:50] yeah its pretty impressive. where is SELF? is it in SC again this year? [00:50] Spartanburg, SC Marriott [00:51] We're doing something new for Oneiric that we really want to see take off: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly [00:51] We == Canonical Hardware Certification [00:51] GTswagger, do you frequent freenode? I'll give your irc nick so he can message you if interested. [00:51] <_marx_> ah [00:51] GTswagger: at this point I'm not sure if I'll be there, otherwise I'd say yes [00:53] when is self? [00:53] <_marx_> soon [00:53] June 10-12. [00:53] :( [00:53] jack_^: I'm always in #southeastlinuxfest [00:53] yeah, that's only like 2 days after school lets out [00:53] w0rd [00:54] 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] I still need to get new tires for my camper and get the A/C fixed before I do any traveling [00:55] sorry GTswagger [00:55] 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] GTswagger: heh... nice (that sounds like what happens at UDS) [00:56] 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... [00:57] bladernr_: Will do ... and don't feel shy about taking more than one slot. :) [00:59] 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] heh [00:59] GTswagger: how long are the slots? [00:59] One hour. [00:59] precisely. [01:01] 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. [01:03] bladernr_: I tried him first. :) [01:03] He won't be in town it would appear. [01:03] GTswagger: ahhh... so we're all just the backup plan ?? :( [01:03] GTswagger: ^^^ just kidding ;-) [01:04] :) [01:04] 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] Cheers [12:25] 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 ... :) [12:26] unfortunate news, for sure. i've never been to an ubucon before, either. i haven't missed a self though. [12:26] so thanks for what you do. === jack_ is now known as jack_^ === jack_^ is now known as percy === percy is now known as jack_^ [18:58] BugeyeD: I can provide a pressure washer ... no problem ... when can I pencil you in for? :)
