[00:03] <ChinnoDog> See, you are in charge by default
[00:05] <pleia2> TheEvilPhoenix: regarding the meeting - no one replied on list to the email so nothing has happened yet
[00:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> oic
[00:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> i couldnt reply
[00:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> because this system imploded x]
[00:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> its back up and working... but *shrugs*
[00:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> i'm definitely hating on Unity
[00:05] <pleia2> well you can reply at any time :)
[00:07] <pleia2> the 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 things
[00:07] <pleia2> a bunch of us active people moved away :(
[00:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> mhm
[00:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> i think there's not much call for the LoCo anymore... nobody can organize events :/
[00:07] <JonathanD> I'm active!
[00:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> but that's just my opinion
[00:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[00:07] <pleia2> JonathanD: have time to plan more events? :)
[00:08] <TheEvilPhoenix> ^ that
[00:08] <JonathanD> pleia2: thats pretty much all I do, isn't it?
[00:08] <pleia2> JonathanD: seems like
[00:08] <JonathanD> it's my calling.
[00:08] <pleia2> I'm going to work in the fact that this team is leaderless to my fosscon keynote ;)
[00:08] <JonathanD> Or so I like to think.
[00:08] <JonathanD> pleia2: good plan.
[00:08] <TheEvilPhoenix> give the leader job to JonathanD
[00:08] <JonathanD> hey now :P
[00:08] <TheEvilPhoenix> or someone who lives in PA :P
[00:08] <pleia2> "an example of where we need volunteers is right here in pa...."
[00:08] <pleia2> :)
[00:09] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[00:09] <JonathanD> I like making events happen.
[00:09] <JonathanD> I don't know about "leader job"
[00:09] <TheEvilPhoenix> SO MAKE EVENTS HAPPEN
[00:09] <JonathanD> Ok!
[00:09] <TheEvilPhoenix> preferably out near Harrisburg :P
[00:09] <JonathanD> tell me what you need?
[00:12] <waltman> oh darn, wasn't blobfest today?
[00:13] <JonathanD> Yes.
[00:13] <JonathanD> the italian festival in phoenixville too
[00:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> you know what I think
[00:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> i think we need to arrange for some kind of FOSS awareness day
[00:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> in PA
[00:14] <ChinnoDog> Why 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] <pleia2> software freedom day is good for that
[00:14] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: why so negative? :(
[00:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> because he knows i'm right
[00:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[00:15] <ChinnoDog> I'm not negative!
[00:15] <waltman> phoenixville had an italian festival the same day as blogfest?
[00:15] <ChinnoDog> If 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 it
[00:15] <pleia2> you can nom italian foods while blobbing :d
[00:15] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: 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 things
[00:16] <waltman> I had a Wawa Hoagiefest meatball shorti for dinner tonight. Does that count?
[00:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> pleia2:  when's software freedom day?
[00:16] <pleia2> TheEvilPhoenix: mid september
[00:16] <ChinnoDog> No leader > outsourced leader?
[00:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> specific dates?
[00:16] <pleia2> http://softwarefreedomday.org/ has all details
[00:16] <PennBot> Title: Software Freedom Day - SFD Home (at softwarefreedomday.org)
[00:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> because 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 :P
[00:16] <pleia2> they will even send you stuff if you plan an event :)
[00:17] <pleia2> cool
[00:17] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: yes, it gives someone in state the opportunity to become leader if they come along
[00:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> oh wait you said september
[00:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> then definitely :P
[00:17] <pleia2> who actually lives there
[00:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> well if it werent for all the duties of being horridly active, i'd be leader... but i am not active enough :P
[00:20] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: this is only an "opportunity" if someone wants to do it
[00:21] <pleia2> no, the opportunity exists no matter whether someone wants it or not :P
[00:21] <pleia2> and the opportunity doesn't exist if someone else is doing the job
[00:21] <JonathanD> TheEvilPhoenix: are you coming to fosscon?
[00:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> JonathanD:  where's it located?
[00:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> i might be able to take a day off work :P
[00:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> and when?
[00:21] <JonathanD> Philly, saturday 23rd
[00:21] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: it does if they can be usurped at any time by someone more qualified, i.e. living in state
[00:22] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: so are you volunteering to run it from DC? :P
[00:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> JonathanD:  wish i were... but i'll be in Pittsburgh that weekend
[00:22] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: maybe!
[00:22] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: you wouldn't even run it when you lived in PA!
[00:22] <pleia2> I tried :)
[00:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> JonathanD:  if i can get out of some obligations, though, i'll see what I can do
[00:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> but *shrugs*
[00:23] <JonathanD> do eet
[00:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> JonathanD:  easier said than done :P
[00:43] <JonathanD> meh :p
[00:43] <JonathanD> Sometimes stuff just has to be done, no matter how hard it seems ;)
[00:44] <JonathanD> This is one of those times.
[00:46] <TheEvilPhoenix> tell that to my employer, the state government :P
[00:46] <JonathanD> Ok.
[00:46] <JonathanD> In Harrisburg?
[00:46] <JonathanD> Which dept?
[00:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> you can tell the Secretary of "We don't actually care what the public thinks" located at <undisclosed coordinates>
[00:47] <JonathanD> I've worked with quite a few of em.
[03:51] <MutantTurkey> still gotta get my old irssi rc back...
[03:55] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: nice link you sent out. linux is even on the browser... where will it go next? hah.
