[07:31] <Thundaboom> It must be a curse. All the fun IRC's I go to are silent D:
[07:38] <nhaines> Thundaboom: that's how IRC works.
[17:20]  * MarkDude needs help here with adding new members to cali team.
[17:21] <MarkDude> pleia2: I have Nixie and her friend Brian wanting to join. What we need?
[17:21] <pleia2> MarkDude: everything is open, what are they having trouble with?
[17:21] <jyo> Request on launchpad and then ping her?
[17:21] <pleia2> launchpad is an open team, everyone can join
[17:21] <MarkDude> They are moving to SF, and will show up at Ubuntu events
[17:22] <MarkDude> Ok, still have to do LP acct
[17:22] <jyo> and the signing of the CoC! Whee?
[17:23] <pleia2> MarkDude: it's all very casual, they can join launchpad if they want, join the mailing list for announcements, come to meetings if they want to help with planning
[17:23] <pleia2> however they want to get involved
[17:24] <bkerensa> pleia2: My conf pack came without CD's =o
[17:24] <pleia2> bkerensa: you request CDs separately
[17:24] <pleia2> they were never included in the conference packs
[17:24] <pleia2> "CDs (75 Desktop) - (To be requested via shipit as per usual process)"
[17:25] <pleia2> so request via shipit for those
[17:26] <bkerensa> well in #ubuntu-locoteams they are saying the 75 are not for approved
[17:26] <bkerensa> I asked why the wiki says otherwise
[17:27] <pleia2> ah, I don't know, I'd ask the canonical folks (they maintain that page and actually ship the stuff)
[17:27] <bkerensa> pleia2: Plus shippit has been down for me for a few weeks :D
[17:27] <pleia2> bkerensa: you'd email to info@shipit.ubuntu.com
[17:30] <bkerensa> I just checked
[17:30] <bkerensa> they say basically the wiki is outdated and unapproved dont get cd's at all
[17:30] <pleia2> yeah, czajkowski said the same thing I did, you should ask them for clarification :)
[17:31] <bkerensa> and that this was announced elsewhere :P
[17:31] <bkerensa> ask who?
[17:31] <bkerensa> Canonical has a lot of employees?
[17:31] <bkerensa> Ask Jono?
[17:31] <bkerensa> :P
[17:31] <pleia2> no, email shipit
[17:31] <pleia2> info@shipit.ubuntu.com
[17:31] <bkerensa> kk
[17:37] <nhaines> bkerensa: reasonable requests have traditionally been honored.
[17:39] <bkerensa> well worst case scenario I will go buy a spindle of lightscribe cd's and burn them myself :P but it would have been nice if the wiki reflected reality ;)
[17:40] <nhaines> bkerensa: then it wouldn't be a wiki now would it!
[17:40] <bkerensa> I guess I'm thankful we got a Conf kit as it is ;) OSCON we got no Conf kit and had to pull personal supplies of stickers together and our own cd's :P
[17:40] <bkerensa> nhaines: Indeed ;)
[17:40] <nhaines> Lightscribe CDs take *forever* but the Ubuntu 11.04 CDs I handed out to friends at work were extremely well-received.
[17:41] <nhaines> I stole the Ubuntu Server CD design and then rebranded the labels as Desktop CDs.  :)
[17:41] <jyo> pleia2: Speaking of burning CDs, how many do we need for Solano Stroll?
[17:41] <nhaines> jyo: 42
[17:41] <bkerensa> nhaines: Yeah I need to buy a label maker and a replication tower would be nice
[17:41] <bkerensa> :D
[17:42] <nhaines> bkerensa: well, lightscribe CDs are pretty cheap.  if a CD label delaminates at 52x then yo uhave a problem!  :)
[17:42] <bkerensa> nhaines: I gotta start cracking on CD's I got one non-profit that needs tons and plus a teacher wants to work with me to try to get Ubuntu into PPS (Portland Public Schools)
[17:43] <jyo> Partimus North? :)
[17:43] <bkerensa> lol
[17:43] <bkerensa> no no
[17:43] <bkerensa> FreeGeek + Ubuntu Oregon + Educator Partnership
[17:43] <pleia2> jyo: I'd ask jdeslip, I've never actually done the stroll before so I don't know what the crowd and CD distribution situation looks like
[17:44]  * MarkDude knows about it
[17:44]  * bkerensa also might try and get a tablet at a Farmers Market now and then :D
[17:44] <MarkDude> We keep the cds on table
[17:44] <nhaines> 42's definitely the right answer.  Might want to check the question again.
[17:44] <MarkDude> lol
[17:44] <bkerensa> oh btw? Anyone here like music?
[17:44]  * MarkDude stood out front of table asking if folks had *heard the word of Ubuntu?*
[17:45] <MarkDude> Saying that this cd in my hands can HEAL you
[17:45] <MarkDude> sorta freaked jdeslip out a bit
[17:45] <MarkDude> :D
[17:45] <bkerensa> If you do check out BlueAnt Embrace (Best headphones ever)
[17:45] <bkerensa> :D
[17:45] <jyo> and it's organic-ish?
[17:45] <MarkDude> It hella fun event
[17:45] <pleia2> jyo: http://doctormo.org/2011/08/19/concept-advert-organic-software/
[17:46]  * MarkDude would really like to go
[17:46] <MarkDude> but will be in Ohio - for olf
[17:46] <bkerensa> Ohio?
[17:46] <bkerensa> Why not come to Oregon for PuppetConf?
[17:46] <MarkDude> Yep, I am doing a Linux is a cult talk
[17:46] <bkerensa> oh
[17:47] <MarkDude> If they can sponsor my travel sure
[17:47] <nhaines> I wouldn't say that Ubuntu is organic (and doctormo did a great job of looking like a complete fool in that post).
[17:47] <bkerensa> lol
[17:47] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Not likely :P
[17:47] <nhaines> But you could probably make a good claim that Ubuntu is sustainable.
[17:47] <bkerensa> hmm
[17:47] <MarkDude> Well Unity not so much
[17:47] <jyo> Canonical is the sun in this environment?
[17:47] <bkerensa> LOL
[17:47] <bkerensa> no
[17:47] <bkerensa> Sun is the Sun
[17:47] <pleia2> nhaines: actually it does sort of push forward the myth that foss is all community-ish and no one puts money or anything into it, but it was topical given jyo's comment ;)
[17:48] <bkerensa> People put money into it
[17:48] <MarkDude> Should be a pic of Mark S face in center of sun- like in telitubbies
[17:48] <pleia2> bkerensa: yes, that's why I called it a myth :)
[17:48] <bkerensa> at the end of our global jam I was told anytime we hold a global hour to give a certain person a call and they will come down and buy the first round
[17:48] <bkerensa> :D
[17:49] <bkerensa> ubuntu hour even
[17:49] <bkerensa> :D
[17:50] <bkerensa> its hard up here in Oregon though
[17:50] <bkerensa> the local lugs are rhel strongholds
[17:50] <bkerensa> :D
[17:50] <MarkDude> Yep
[17:51]  * MarkDude finds the locations ironic
[17:51] <bkerensa> #ORLUG
[17:51] <bkerensa> for instance
[17:51] <MarkDude> Trying to find Fedora folks here is much harder than I would like
[17:51] <bkerensa> they nearly hit me with a bat in that channel for mentioning Ubuntu
[17:51] <bkerensa> :D
[17:51] <jyo> Run apt run
[17:51] <MarkDude> bkerensa: well throw this at them
[17:51] <MarkDude> Be excellent to each other
[17:52] <akk> That's pretty sad, distro-centrism.
[17:52] <bkerensa> :D
[17:52] <MarkDude> Fedora's motto
[17:52] <akk> Right! What MarkDude said. :)
[17:52] <akk> And party on, dudes!
[17:52] <MarkDude> Runs against the Foundations and everything
[17:52] <MarkDude> 24th is Geeknic day- making FB event for it
[17:53] <MarkDude> and then will do geeknic.org
[17:53] <akk> \o/
[17:53] <pleia2> that's also Ubuntu User Days for folks who can't make it out
[17:53]  * bkerensa is jealous you guys get all the fun geek events
[17:53] <bkerensa> :D
[17:53] <MarkDude> A while ago - a Fedora ambassador, did a pretty funny post - where he burned an Ubuntu CD
[17:53] <MarkDude> saying I cast ye demons out
[17:54] <MarkDude> Fedora on the whole- jumped on him. He apologized
[17:54] <MarkDude> General rule- good natured jokes and humor are allowed
[17:54] <pleia2> user days: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays
[17:59] <MarkDude> pleia2: you have pics of you on camel? Sounds epic
[18:00] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Maybe next summer I come down to CA and we go to Sac Zoo
[18:01] <bkerensa> My cousin worked there for a few years so I can get us in before the gates open and we can hand feed some animals :D
[18:02] <MarkDude> Can I dance with the penguins?
[18:06] <bkerensa> uhh I imagine not
[18:06] <bkerensa> but you can feed the giraffes
[18:06] <bkerensa> and other animals
[18:51] <MarkDude> Sounds cool. Were there penguin related activities, I would be dancin' the happy dance
[19:15] <jyo> pleia2: Well, I'll just sit at work tomorrow with a bunch of blank CDs and burn 11.04.
[19:33] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Did you find the penguin suit ever?
[19:34] <MarkDude> Nope
[19:34] <MarkDude> sad
[19:34] <bkerensa> =/
[19:34] <MarkDude> :(
[19:34] <MarkDude> oh well
[19:34] <bkerensa> Can you get a new one?
[19:34] <MarkDude> will not have it for OLF
[19:34] <MarkDude> Of course
[19:34] <bkerensa> =o
[19:34] <bkerensa> they sell them somewhere?
[19:34] <pleia2> jyo: the wiki page says we want ~200 burned CDs and no one has taken ownership of that yet :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/SolanoStroll2011
[19:34] <MarkDude> Daddy shadowman will pay- but I want to get a better one
[19:35] <MarkDude> G can make cDs in Afriaca?
[19:35] <pleia2> they would be out of date by the time he returns :)
[19:38] <bkerensa> Can Shadowman pay for a giant ocelot?
[19:38] <bkerensa> :D
[19:45] <pleia2> MarkDude: camel: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/6121534370
[20:57] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: photos from jam? :)
[20:57] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, working on it and a couple of blog posts too :)
[20:57] <pleia2> \o/
[20:57] <pleia2> let me know if you have any trouble with the flickr account
[20:58] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, Will do :)
[22:04]  * MarkDude just saw the pic with camel- it IS epic
[22:08] <bkerensa> pleia2: CA LoCo has its own flickr acct? I was thinking about setting one up for us
[22:10] <bkerensa> pleia2: Do you know the dimensions of the CA banner? I'm going to be ordering ours soon
[22:13] <pleia2> bkerensa: I don't remember and it's up in berkeley right now (solano stroll on sunday!)
[22:13] <pleia2> jdeslip would know
[23:21] <Thundaboom> I think I did the best thing ever in python so far. (love the language)
