|---|---|---|
| seattlegaucho | are we going to get together? | 00:47 |
| valorie | I would have gone down for that | 02:06 |
| valorie | but Labor Day weekend we always go up to our cabin and cut the winter wood | 02:06 |
| valorie | so I will miss it | 02:06 |
| * valorie had no time to organize another jam | 02:06 | |
| valorie | last one, only one person showed up | 02:07 |
| valorie | that sort of discouraged me | 02:07 |
| valorie | unfortunately | 02:07 |
| valorie | the Oregon people are going great guns though | 02:07 |
| valorie | bkerensa is a bundle of energy | 02:07 |
| bkerensa | =o | 02:08 |
| bkerensa | from drinking far to much soda | 02:08 |
| * valorie drinks no soda | 02:08 | |
| bkerensa | valorie: I talked to akgraner and told her next year at OSCON I wanna do a after hour ubuntu specific social get together | 02:09 |
| valorie | cool | 02:09 |
| valorie | I think the key thing is to get it set up ahead of time | 02:09 |
| valorie | Sunday night might be good | 02:09 |
| valorie | that's usually an empty night | 02:09 |
| bkerensa | Yeah... I'm doing major leg work ahead of time for next year so we will have a event kit and lots of swag | 02:09 |
| valorie | awesome! | 02:09 |
| bkerensa | I just hope O'Reilly extends us a few exhibitor passes again and booth | 02:10 |
| bkerensa | Otherwise Idk how we could afford it | 02:10 |
| valorie | they don't allow exhibitors free passes? | 02:11 |
| valorie | I got a free pass from the website | 02:11 |
| bkerensa | Umm Yeah we can get exhibit hall passes free no problem | 02:12 |
| valorie | ok | 02:12 |
| valorie | I'm going to consider submitting a talk | 02:12 |
| bkerensa | but the Exhibitor ones cost thousands... O'Reilly did it free this year and I imagine they will do it again | 02:12 |
| valorie | I thought non-profit exhibit spaces were free | 02:13 |
| valorie | would suck if they charged, really | 02:13 |
| bkerensa | Hmm maybe they are I need to check with MarkDude he set all that up and then kinda said "here ya go make it happen" | 02:13 |
| valorie | having stuff to give away would be a Good Thing though | 02:13 |
| valorie | yes, I doubt he wants to be in charge of that if he doesn't have to be | 02:14 |
| bkerensa | Well if we get approved before next year which I'm sure is a slamdunk thing then we get a booth cover, banner and approved kit... even if we are not approved we get a non-approved kit and I would at that point reach out to sponsors to get more swag | 02:14 |
| valorie | you rock, my dear | 02:15 |
| bkerensa | Thanks your too kind :) | 02:15 |
| valorie | y'all should think about maybe coming north for Linuxfest NW | 02:15 |
| valorie | we always have a booth | 02:16 |
| bkerensa | Do they donate passes? Because I would have to pay for transport and lodging as it is | 02:16 |
| valorie | so you would have a home base | 02:16 |
| valorie | it's free | 02:16 |
| bkerensa | =o | 02:16 |
| bkerensa | I will try and shoot for it then | 02:16 |
| valorie | lfnw.org | 02:16 |
| valorie | the party Sat. night is epic | 02:16 |
| valorie | not just free beer, but free EXCELLENT beer | 02:17 |
| valorie | if you get a van full of people, and share rooms, it's not very expensive | 02:17 |
| bkerensa | Yeah good idea | 02:17 |
| valorie | long drive to Bellingham though, for sure | 02:17 |
| bkerensa | Train may be cheap way :D | 02:18 |
| valorie | we need more linux small airplane pilots | 02:18 |
| valorie | :-) | 02:18 |
| valorie | last I checked, the train was sort of expensive | 02:18 |
| bkerensa | I have a few friends in Seattle plus I can talk to my cousin she has lots of friends in Seattle from when she worked in Dutch Harbor AK | 02:18 |
| valorie | Bellingham is so beautiful | 02:19 |
| valorie | it's a great time | 02:19 |
| bkerensa | Hmm I have never even been into Washington :D not even Vancouv | 02:19 |
| valorie | WHAT? | 02:19 |
| valorie | lol | 02:19 |
| valorie | omg, why? | 02:19 |
| * valorie is in OR all the time..... | 02:19 | |
| bkerensa | Uhh people tell me Vancouver has a lot of drug dealers | 02:19 |
| bkerensa | bad crime | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | idk | 02:20 |
| valorie | right | 02:20 |
| valorie | Portland doesn' | 02:20 |
| valorie | t | 02:20 |
| valorie | good grief | 02:20 |
| valorie | it's just less hipster | 02:20 |
| valorie | way more white bread and less cool | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | lol | 02:20 |
| * bkerensa is tired of hipster | 02:20 | |
| valorie | shocker | 02:20 |
| valorie | lol | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | Our neighborhood has been promised funding for sidewalks and such for a decade I guess and the city council wants to give money to a bike sharing program... | 02:21 |
| bkerensa | its like seriously? Bikes or Safety? | 02:21 |
| bkerensa | Well I gotta go start dinner and queue up Netflix :D ttyl! | 02:21 |
| valorie | have fun | 02:22 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Hi | 03:02 |
| valorie | hey | 03:35 |
| bkerensa | valorie: So I talked to paultag about making PNW Loco into a regional coordinated team between WA/OR since its a defunct loco and he thinks its a good idea so are you WA lead if no I need the WA lead e-mail so I can CC him something to council | 05:18 |
| valorie | we don't have a WA lead..... | 06:11 |
| valorie | we have a contact on launchpad, but I wouldn't bother writing him because he won't respond | 06:11 |
| bkerensa | =o | 06:12 |
| bkerensa | oh ok | 06:12 |
| valorie | we need to hold elections, but we haven't made it happen | 06:12 |
| valorie | Linda and I are the de facto leaders, I guess | 06:12 |
| valorie | I thought they were totally against PNW remaining as anything | 06:13 |
| valorie | I'd like to see it used, myself | 06:14 |
| bkerensa | Well apparently not our old team lead said the council didnt want PNW | 06:15 |
| bkerensa | but paultag says thats not the case | 06:15 |
| bkerensa | idk.... I hear one thing from one person and council says something different | 06:16 |
| bkerensa | paultag said channel logging is required.... Yet CA loco basically said its not and that council tries to tell people it is so idk sometimes very confusing *palmface* | 06:16 |
| valorie | we might need to attend the next council meeting and speak up | 06:16 |
| valorie | we wanted and asked for logging | 06:17 |
| valorie | we had our own logger before that | 06:17 |
| bkerensa | But paultag did say to e-mail the PNW LP contact and ask them to transfer ownership to me then setup a Coordination Team and have WA and OR leads join it and set PNW as owned by the coordinated team so we can handle region stuff through it | 06:17 |
| valorie | cool | 06:17 |
| valorie | is there an Idaho group? | 06:17 |
| * bkerensa is neither against nor for logging but when MarkDude handed over the reigns so to speak he got in a argument with paultag in our channel over logging | 06:18 | |
| * bkerensa goes to check | 06:18 | |
| bkerensa | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdahoTeam | 06:18 |
| bkerensa | yep | 06:18 |
| valorie | reins | 06:19 |
| valorie | you might want to contact them also | 06:19 |
| valorie | they originally were members, right? | 06:19 |
| bkerensa | not from what I can see.... Just WA/OR people | 06:19 |
| bkerensa | but yeah we should get them on board | 06:19 |
| valorie | weird | 06:19 |
| valorie | ok | 06:19 |
| bkerensa | WA will have a new member soon | 06:20 |
| valorie | yay! | 06:20 |
| valorie | is that finn? | 06:20 |
| bkerensa | Finn is coming in September.... He really is enthusiastic about Ubuntu | 06:21 |
| bkerensa | Yep | 06:21 |
| valorie | you will totally want to come up next spring and visit him | 06:21 |
| valorie | :-) | 06:21 |
| bkerensa | Yeah I talked to my fiancee tonight about LFNW | 06:22 |
| bkerensa | she seems ok with it | 06:22 |
| * bkerensa needs to get her surrounded by other women who use Ubuntu :P | 06:22 | |
| valorie | this will be my third year going up with my son | 06:23 |
| valorie | he's gone up for a long time | 06:23 |
| valorie | sec | 06:24 |
| * bkerensa is unsure how people do public talks.... I did a talk about Ubuntu at the last PDX Wordpress UG meeting and idk I always get shaky and nervous and kinda stumble on what I plan to say | 06:25 | |
| * bkerensa adds lots of uhhs and ummm's to his talks | 06:25 | |
| valorie | it was OK | 06:29 |
| valorie | you'll get better | 06:29 |
| valorie | mostly it's just a matter of getting past the nervous/shaky part | 06:30 |
| valorie | and keeping your main points in mind | 06:30 |
| valorie | slides help, if you can show them | 06:30 |
| bkerensa | yeah... next time I do one I'm gonna try and get a projector and practice the talk a few days before hand | 06:30 |
| valorie | that helps too | 06:31 |
| valorie | use the cat or dog if you can't find another audience | 06:31 |
| bkerensa | Yeah one of the guys I do Wordpress stuff for now and then came | 06:31 |
| valorie | or your stuffed penguin | 06:31 |
| bkerensa | :) | 06:31 |
| valorie | a person is even better, though | 06:32 |
| bkerensa | What would you do your talk at OSCON about? | 06:32 |
| valorie | something about community or getting involved with FOSS for the non-technical person | 06:34 |
| valorie | I was going to do a lightning talk at CLS, but didn't get the time to practice it | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | cool :D | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | I might do a session next year assuming CLS is in Portland again | 06:35 |
| valorie | without practice, a lightning talk isn't that effective -- unless you are sumanah, I guess | 06:35 |
| valorie | lol | 06:35 |
| valorie | it will be | 06:36 |
| bkerensa | sumanah has skill | 06:36 |
| valorie | jono already announced it | 06:36 |
| valorie | she rocks | 06:36 |
| valorie | sec | 06:36 |
| valorie | hmm, I wonder where the announcement for next year's OSCON might be? | 06:38 |
| valorie | OSCON 2012 | 06:38 |
| valorie | July 16-20, 2012 | 06:38 |
| valorie | http://conferences.oreillynet.com/ | 06:38 |
| valorie | so CLS is 14-15th | 06:39 |
| valorie | ah, I already have it on my calendar | 06:40 |
| valorie | :-) | 06:40 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:40 |
| * bkerensa is gonna go to sleep ttyl val! | 06:40 | |
| valorie | sweet dreams | 06:42 |
| seattlegaucho | androidbruce: did you get my DM this morning? | 22:29 |
