[00:46] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1157/detail/ [00:47] are we going to get together? [02:06] I would have gone down for that [02:06] but Labor Day weekend we always go up to our cabin and cut the winter wood [02:06] so I will miss it [02:06] * valorie had no time to organize another jam [02:07] last one, only one person showed up [02:07] that sort of discouraged me [02:07] unfortunately [02:07] the Oregon people are going great guns though [02:07] bkerensa is a bundle of energy [02:08] =o [02:08] from drinking far to much soda [02:08] * valorie drinks no soda [02:09] 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] cool [02:09] I think the key thing is to get it set up ahead of time [02:09] Sunday night might be good [02:09] that's usually an empty night [02:09] 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] awesome! [02:10] I just hope O'Reilly extends us a few exhibitor passes again and booth [02:10] Otherwise Idk how we could afford it [02:11] they don't allow exhibitors free passes? [02:11] I got a free pass from the website [02:12] Umm Yeah we can get exhibit hall passes free no problem [02:12] ok [02:12] I'm going to consider submitting a talk [02:12] but the Exhibitor ones cost thousands... O'Reilly did it free this year and I imagine they will do it again [02:13] I thought non-profit exhibit spaces were free [02:13] would suck if they charged, really [02:13] 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] having stuff to give away would be a Good Thing though [02:14] yes, I doubt he wants to be in charge of that if he doesn't have to be [02:14] 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 [02:15] you rock, my dear [02:15] Thanks your too kind :) [02:15] y'all should think about maybe coming north for Linuxfest NW [02:16] we always have a booth [02:16] Do they donate passes? Because I would have to pay for transport and lodging as it is [02:16] so you would have a home base [02:16] it's free [02:16] =o [02:16] I will try and shoot for it then [02:16] lfnw.org [02:16] the party Sat. night is epic [02:17] not just free beer, but free EXCELLENT beer [02:17] if you get a van full of people, and share rooms, it's not very expensive [02:17] Yeah good idea [02:17] long drive to Bellingham though, for sure [02:18] Train may be cheap way :D [02:18] we need more linux small airplane pilots [02:18] :-) [02:18] last I checked, the train was sort of expensive [02:18] 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 [02:19] Bellingham is so beautiful [02:19] it's a great time [02:19] Hmm I have never even been into Washington :D not even Vancouv [02:19] WHAT? [02:19] lol [02:19] omg, why? [02:19] * valorie is in OR all the time..... [02:19] Uhh people tell me Vancouver has a lot of drug dealers [02:20] bad crime [02:20] idk [02:20] right [02:20] Portland doesn' [02:20] t [02:20] good grief [02:20] it's just less hipster [02:20] way more white bread and less cool [02:20] lol [02:20] * bkerensa is tired of hipster [02:20] shocker [02:20] lol [02:21] 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] its like seriously? Bikes or Safety? [02:21] Well I gotta go start dinner and queue up Netflix :D ttyl! [02:22] have fun [03:02] valorie: Hi [03:35] hey [05:18] 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 [06:11] we don't have a WA lead..... [06:11] we have a contact on launchpad, but I wouldn't bother writing him because he won't respond [06:12] =o [06:12] oh ok [06:12] we need to hold elections, but we haven't made it happen [06:12] Linda and I are the de facto leaders, I guess [06:13] I thought they were totally against PNW remaining as anything [06:14] I'd like to see it used, myself [06:15] Well apparently not our old team lead said the council didnt want PNW [06:15] but paultag says thats not the case [06:16] idk.... I hear one thing from one person and council says something different [06:16] 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] we might need to attend the next council meeting and speak up [06:17] we wanted and asked for logging [06:17] we had our own logger before that [06:17] 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] cool [06:17] is there an Idaho group? [06:18] * 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] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdahoTeam [06:18] yep [06:19] reins [06:19] you might want to contact them also [06:19] they originally were members, right? [06:19] not from what I can see.... Just WA/OR people [06:19] but yeah we should get them on board [06:19] weird [06:19] ok [06:20] WA will have a new member soon [06:20] yay! [06:20] is that finn? [06:21] Finn is coming in September.... He really is enthusiastic about Ubuntu [06:21] Yep [06:21] you will totally want to come up next spring and visit him [06:21] :-) [06:22] Yeah I talked to my fiancee tonight about LFNW [06:22] she seems ok with it [06:22] * bkerensa needs to get her surrounded by other women who use Ubuntu :P [06:23] this will be my third year going up with my son [06:23] he's gone up for a long time [06:24] sec [06:25] * 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 [06:29] it was OK [06:29] you'll get better [06:30] mostly it's just a matter of getting past the nervous/shaky part [06:30] and keeping your main points in mind [06:30] slides help, if you can show them [06:30] yeah... next time I do one I'm gonna try and get a projector and practice the talk a few days before hand [06:31] that helps too [06:31] use the cat or dog if you can't find another audience [06:31] Yeah one of the guys I do Wordpress stuff for now and then came [06:31] or your stuffed penguin [06:31] :) [06:32] a person is even better, though [06:32] What would you do your talk at OSCON about? [06:34] something about community or getting involved with FOSS for the non-technical person [06:35] I was going to do a lightning talk at CLS, but didn't get the time to practice it [06:35] cool :D [06:35] I might do a session next year assuming CLS is in Portland again [06:35] without practice, a lightning talk isn't that effective -- unless you are sumanah, I guess [06:35] lol [06:36] it will be [06:36] sumanah has skill [06:36] jono already announced it [06:36] she rocks [06:36] sec [06:38] hmm, I wonder where the announcement for next year's OSCON might be? [06:38] OSCON 2012 [06:38] July 16-20, 2012 [06:38] http://conferences.oreillynet.com/ [06:39] so CLS is 14-15th [06:40] ah, I already have it on my calendar [06:40] :-) [06:40] :D [06:40] * bkerensa is gonna go to sleep ttyl val!
