| pleia2 | Ttech: a lot of companies are friendly to folks who run booths and tables at events | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | so it gets them publicity | 00:00 |
| Ttech | I don't run booths, but I'd love to go to conferences. :P | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | well the key is you have to *run* something at a conference or event :) bkerensa is running a global jam this weekend, DarkwingDuck is running a jam this weekend and a booth at a conference next month | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: The idea is they hope you will talk about their products and create buzz which in turn will line their pockets :) | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | eh why did it autocomplete your nick =o | 00:02 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:02 |
| Ttech | global jam? | 00:02 |
| bkerensa | 26 people RSVP'ed with 6 possibles and I know we invited 15 other people who are not even RSVP'ing so this should be a huge jam jam jam :D | 00:02 |
| Ttech | what is it? | 00:03 |
| bkerensa | Ttech: Global Jam is a event that essentially is aiming to kickstart activity and contributions through locos to support the Ubuntu community at large | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | So various locos have different themes like Bugs, upgrades, testing, support etc | 00:04 |
| Ttech | One of you guys is doing a san diego one this weekend methinks? | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | ttyl guys gotta head to 2600 and try and plug Ubuntu | 00:06 |
| DarkwingDuck | Yes, I'm doing San Diego tomorrow. | 00:08 |

| philipballew | DarkwingDuck, so will you be bringing that to the place or you gonna have a vpn set up thing? | 05:19 |
| philipballew | I am gonna send out a reminder email for the jam right | 05:20 |
| DarkwingDuck | pleia2, ping | 06:09 |
| bkerensa | ping indeed | 07:29 |
| * pleia2 waves from arizona | 07:30 | |
| * MarkDude is in ur So Cal, breathing ur smog- drinking the tap water | 16:24 | |
| MarkDude | ok- not drinking the tap water | 16:24 |
| akk | Not drinking the tap water? | 16:25 |
| akk | Is it bad where you are? Most places, tap water tests cleaner than bottled water (or so I keep reading). | 16:26 |
| * bkerensa is heading to Safeway here in a few gotta pickup a veggie tray and other snacks in addition to catering.... I think we may have excess of what we projected in attendance | 16:41 | |
| bkerensa | :D | 16:41 |
| philipballew | i need to see if its worth it for me to pick up food if ours is at a coffee house | 16:45 |
| bkerensa | maybe just bring some cookies and some soda | 16:47 |
| bkerensa | or water | 16:47 |
| bkerensa | idk some people travel a bit so its nice to add incentive | 16:47 |
| bkerensa | we have a guy driving from Seattle to Portland just to come | 16:48 |
| akk | At a coffee house they probably won't want you bringing outside food. | 16:49 |
| bkerensa | true | 16:49 |
| akk | Unless they're donating their space (or you're paying) specifically for the event. | 16:50 |
| philipballew_ | akk, yeah, their donating. darkwingduck found someone who uses ubuntu and owns a coffee shop in downtown sd | 16:53 |
| philipballew_ | dont ask me how he did it. but props to him | 16:53 |
| akk | Ah, yes, they might be more open to different options. Still, a coffee shop like that is one you want to make happy! So if you can bring them lots of business rather than bringing in outside food, that's nicer. | 16:56 |
| philipballew_ | what time were you gonna get over there DarkwingDuck ? | 16:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm going to try and be there around 4-430 | 16:58 |
| philipballew_ | me as well. anything I can bring you see? | 16:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | Your computer... Other then that... i don't think so. I'm not sure how many people are going to be there. | 17:04 |
| philipballew_ | I might bring an extra laptop just in care. nhaines said he might and I had 2 people say they might come. I immagine we'd have some random people show up as well | 17:06 |
| DarkwingDuck | Sweet | 17:19 |
| philipballew | Off to the Global Jam! | 22:24 |
| philipballew | gonna be a nice bike ride on a day thats in the 70's here | 22:24 |
