ChinnoDogSee, you are in charge by default00:03
pleia2TheEvilPhoenix: regarding the meeting - no one replied on list to the email so nothing has happened yet00:05
TheEvilPhoenixoic00:05
TheEvilPhoenixi couldnt reply00:05
TheEvilPhoenixbecause this system imploded x]00:05
TheEvilPhoenixits back up and working... but *shrugs*00:05
TheEvilPhoenixi'm definitely hating on Unity00:05
pleia2well you can reply at any time :)00:05
pleia2the lack of replies is kinda endemic of the problem, there are plenty of folks in the state who will *come* to events (there were lots of successful ones in the philly area over the years) but not many people willing to organize and plan things00:07
pleia2a bunch of us active people moved away :(00:07
TheEvilPhoenixmhm00:07
TheEvilPhoenixi think there's not much call for the LoCo anymore... nobody can organize events :/00:07
JonathanDI'm active!00:07
TheEvilPhoenixbut that's just my opinion00:07
TheEvilPhoenix:P00:07
pleia2JonathanD: have time to plan more events? :)00:07
TheEvilPhoenix^ that00:08
JonathanDpleia2: thats pretty much all I do, isn't it?00:08
pleia2JonathanD: seems like00:08
JonathanDit's my calling.00:08
pleia2I'm going to work in the fact that this team is leaderless to my fosscon keynote ;)00:08
JonathanDOr so I like to think.00:08
JonathanDpleia2: good plan.00:08
TheEvilPhoenixgive the leader job to JonathanD00:08
JonathanDhey now :P00:08
TheEvilPhoenixor someone who lives in PA :P00:08
pleia2"an example of where we need volunteers is right here in pa...."00:08
pleia2:)00:08
TheEvilPhoenix:P00:09
JonathanDI like making events happen.00:09
JonathanDI don't know about "leader job"00:09
TheEvilPhoenixSO MAKE EVENTS HAPPEN00:09
JonathanDOk!00:09
TheEvilPhoenixpreferably out near Harrisburg :P00:09
JonathanDtell me what you need?00:09
waltmanoh darn, wasn't blobfest today?00:12
JonathanDYes.00:13
JonathanDthe italian festival in phoenixville too00:13
TheEvilPhoenixyou know what I think00:14
TheEvilPhoenixi think we need to arrange for some kind of FOSS awareness day00:14
TheEvilPhoenixin PA00:14
ChinnoDogWhy does the leader have to live in PA? The calendar is sparse enough that even people who live out of state attend as much as people in state.00:14
pleia2software freedom day is good for that00:14
pleia2ChinnoDog: why so negative? :(00:14
TheEvilPhoenixbecause he knows i'm right00:14
TheEvilPhoenix:P00:14
ChinnoDogI'm not negative!00:15
waltmanphoenixville had an italian festival the same day as blogfest?00:15
ChinnoDogIf someone wants to step up to the plate that isn't in PA and it gets going again then someone closer will have to do it00:15
pleia2you can nom italian foods while blobbing :d00:15
pleia2ChinnoDog: if someone isn't in PA they should be working in their own state, it's not really fair for someone outside the state to be running things00:15
waltmanI had a Wawa Hoagiefest meatball shorti for dinner tonight. Does that count?00:16
TheEvilPhoenixpleia2:  when's software freedom day?00:16
pleia2TheEvilPhoenix: mid september00:16
ChinnoDogNo leader > outsourced leader?00:16
TheEvilPhoenixspecific dates?00:16
pleia2http://softwarefreedomday.org/ has all details00:16
PennBotTitle: Software Freedom Day - SFD Home (at softwarefreedomday.org)00:16
TheEvilPhoenixbecause i might be at Penn State Harrisburg that day and might be able to rally a bunch of compsci students to hold a FOSS Awareness Day in Harrisburg :P00:16
pleia2they will even send you stuff if you plan an event :)00:16
pleia2cool00:17
pleia2ChinnoDog: yes, it gives someone in state the opportunity to become leader if they come along00:17
TheEvilPhoenixoh wait you said september00:17
TheEvilPhoenixthen definitely :P00:17
pleia2who actually lives there00:17
TheEvilPhoenixwell if it werent for all the duties of being horridly active, i'd be leader... but i am not active enough :P00:18
ChinnoDogpleia2: this is only an "opportunity" if someone wants to do it00:20
pleia2no, the opportunity exists no matter whether someone wants it or not :P00:21
pleia2and the opportunity doesn't exist if someone else is doing the job00:21
JonathanDTheEvilPhoenix: are you coming to fosscon?00:21
TheEvilPhoenixJonathanD:  where's it located?00:21
TheEvilPhoenixi might be able to take a day off work :P00:21
TheEvilPhoenixand when?00:21
JonathanDPhilly, saturday 23rd00:21
ChinnoDogpleia2: it does if they can be usurped at any time by someone more qualified, i.e. living in state00:21
pleia2ChinnoDog: so are you volunteering to run it from DC? :P00:22
TheEvilPhoenixJonathanD:  wish i were... but i'll be in Pittsburgh that weekend00:22
ChinnoDogpleia2: maybe!00:22
pleia2ChinnoDog: you wouldn't even run it when you lived in PA!00:22
pleia2I tried :)00:22
TheEvilPhoenixJonathanD:  if i can get out of some obligations, though, i'll see what I can do00:22
TheEvilPhoenixbut *shrugs*00:22
JonathanDdo eet00:23
TheEvilPhoenixJonathanD:  easier said than done :P00:23
JonathanDmeh :p00:43
