[00:03] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, ping
[00:05] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: pong
[00:05] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, have you dealt with finding sponsors for cost of booths before?
[00:06] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: it depends, I've had individuals and companies offer the team donations when we needed money for something
[00:06] <pleia2> haven't made any kind of organized effort to find such a thing though
[00:06] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, ahh, I'm about to go shopping for help. :)
[00:07] <DarkwingDuck> O'Reilly is sending something. LinuxFoundation.org wants to send something...
[00:08] <pleia2> seems like bkerensa is the one to ask about booth goodies, he's pretty good at taking the time to track down stuff
[00:08] <pleia2> I've never really done it though
[00:08] <DarkwingDuck> Yeah, I'm doing good with the booth goodies. I'm more worried about $200 for the booth.
[00:09] <pleia2> for solano stroll members of berkeleylug donated the cash
[00:09] <pleia2> at meetings jdeslip just collects it
[00:09]  * DarkwingDuck nods
[00:09] <DarkwingDuck> Well, when Linux Foundation asked what we needed I mentioned a booth sponsor.
[00:10] <DarkwingDuck> So, we shall see what happens.
[00:10]  * pleia2 nods
[00:10] <DarkwingDuck> I don't mind having a "Sponsored By" sign on the booth.
[00:11] <DarkwingDuck> I should have plenty of swag by the end of this.
[00:26] <Thundaboom> "Sponsored by red hat!" x3
[00:33] <DarkwingDuck> LOL
[00:34] <DarkwingDuck> bkerensa, ping
[00:46] <Thundaboom> "Tell you what. We'll give you the cash if you ALSO burn 200 Red Hat CDs. Deal?"
[00:46] <Thundaboom> I would love to donate for this, btw.
[00:53] <DarkwingDuck> Hmm?
[00:56] <MarkDude_> RH cds?
[00:56] <MarkDude_> Gets me a few of those
[00:57] <Thundaboom> Donate for your booth fund
[00:58] <Thundaboom> MarkDude: hahah
[01:04] <bkerensa> DarkwingDuck: Hello
[01:04] <DarkwingDuck> bkerensa, care for a PM?
[01:04] <bkerensa> DarkwingDuck: Surely
[01:11] <bkerensa> pleia2: Hey I just wanted to note that were getting our banner sponsored and I ran it by council they even thought it was a good idea =)
[01:12] <bkerensa> somewhere on the banner it will say "Sponsored by:" logo here
[01:12] <Thundaboom> Wish I could visit that booth when it's up :/
[01:13] <bkerensa> I know
[01:13] <bkerensa> I keep having this thought that since OSCON is in Oregon and Scale is in California
[01:13] <bkerensa> we should be roadtripping to each others states
[01:13] <bkerensa> :D
[01:14] <DarkwingDuck> I would LOVE to... Hard for me to Road Trip anywhere LOL
[01:14] <DarkwingDuck> I live a mile and a half from Mexico LOL
[01:14] <bkerensa> Does Mexico have a LoCo?
[01:15] <bkerensa> :D
[01:15] <DarkwingDuck> Don't know LOL
[01:15] <bkerensa> I love Mexico... Super cheap mexican food.... But I have never been to Tijuana just some Arizona/Mexico Border towns
[01:15] <DarkwingDuck> But, I'm 6 miles south of San Diego LOL
[01:15] <DarkwingDuck> even to get to SCaLE it's almost 2 hours north
[01:16] <philipballew> a joint effort on scale would be pretty cool though
[01:18] <bkerensa> Jetblue maybe?
[01:19] <Thundaboom> I've only been to one linux expo and that was Scale
[01:19] <Thundaboom> i was the youngest guy there >__<
[01:20] <philipballew> i can make it to Portland from sd in 20 hours
[01:22] <bkerensa> philipballew: Are you in SD?
[01:22] <philipballew> yeah bkerensa i go to college here
[01:22]  * bkerensa can barely make it from North of San Francisco to Portland in 8
[01:22] <bkerensa> :d
[01:23] <philipballew> you dont have much to stop and look at on the journey
[01:23] <bkerensa> But thats taking 101
[01:23] <bkerensa> :D
[01:23] <Thundaboom> well you guys should totally go to 10x
[01:23] <philipballew> the 5 is the way to do it if you can
[01:23]  * bkerensa wants to go to 10x but I think I wont.... Maybe next year WA/OR can rent a van and hit the road or maybe I will fly
[01:23] <bkerensa> :D
[01:24]  * bkerensa needs to talk to family member and see if he can use their Intel flight rates :D
[01:24] <philipballew> scale or bust bkerensa ?
[01:25] <bkerensa> idk
[01:25] <bkerensa> :P
[01:25] <bkerensa> You should all come up for OSCON in 2012 though.... Were gonna have a big afterhours thing :D
[01:25] <philipballew> i can probably do jusy if i plan for it
[01:25] <philipballew> i'm considering riding my bike to scale. that might be a challenge
[01:26] <bkerensa> =o
[01:26] <bkerensa> How?
[01:26] <bkerensa> Freeways?
[01:26] <philipballew> tons of side streets!
[01:26] <philipballew> google maps should show me how to i think
[01:27] <philipballew> i look it up once
[01:27] <philipballew> it takes 12 hours
[01:40] <Thundaboom> oh noes!
[01:40] <Thundaboom> well man
[01:40] <Thundaboom> it's TOTALLY worth it
[02:05] <philipballew> hey! DarkwingDuck I wonder if there are any linux friendly companies who might like to see us there who can help? also I can help with whatever else to
[02:06] <DarkwingDuck> philipballew, Yeah. I'm looking too.
[02:06] <DarkwingDuck> I got a blog post out so, we'll see what happens.
[02:07] <philipballew> read it, I think we can get some companies to help if say on the cd's or something we put provided by said company
[02:07] <DarkwingDuck> Yup
[02:07] <DarkwingDuck> I was planning something like that.
[02:08] <philipballew> sounds sweet! should be fun.
[02:08] <DarkwingDuck> Got some people sending stuff.
[02:08] <DarkwingDuck> :D
[02:08] <philipballew> will 11.10 be out then?
[02:09] <philipballew> i think it might
[02:09] <DarkwingDuck> I think it releases the same week...
[02:13] <philipballew> thats what i was thinking
[02:16] <philipballew> the location is right next to me. ill be sure to be there everyday.
[02:16]  * philipballew offers his floor to all who want to risk it and need a place to stay
[02:18] <philipballew> assuming we have dozens working the booth. haha
[02:46] <philipballew> DarkwingDuck, I'm gonna see if i can find some good avenues to advertise the event and also bring in a few bucks.
[02:50] <DarkwingDuck> philipballew, anything you can do will be epic :D
[02:52] <philipballew> excellent!!!
[02:54] <pleia2> he excellented himself off the irc
[02:55] <akk> and here I thought joining irc was more excellent than leaving it
[02:56] <DarkwingDuck> lol
[18:59] <jyo> pleia2: So I want to burn 11.04 32-bit for Solano, correct?
[19:00] <pleia2> jyo: yep
[19:01] <pleia2> jyo: and I'd recommend randomly sampling a few you burn to make sure the burns go ok (nothing personal, but we sometimes get complaints about bad burns so we want to make sure they're spot checked :))
[19:02] <jyo> pleia2: Yeah, I'll use a slower speed as well.
[19:21] <jyo> Hmm. Where's the 'Check disk for errors' in the startup for these 'new' LiveCDs?
[19:26] <pleia2> I'd just make sure it boots into the livecd, if it gets that far it's probably fine
[19:26] <pleia2> or just run an md5 check against it
[19:38] <DarkwingDuck> Woot! Sponsorship approved.
[19:38] <philipballew> DarkwingDuck, your the man! but how?
[19:39] <pleia2> congrats :) see you there!
[19:39] <philipballew> all the kubuntu work i guess?
[19:40] <philipballew> who all from the loco is going to uds?
[19:42] <broder> i'll be there
[19:43] <philipballew> Florida right?
[19:43] <broder> yeah
[19:43] <broder> need to actually book my hotel room, though...
[19:43] <philipballew> do you know when they find out when the one in may is?
[19:43] <philipballew> your sponsered to broder ?
[19:44] <broder> philipballew: my company's sponsoring me this time
[19:44] <broder> they've traditionally announced the next location at the end of the previous UDS
[19:44] <broder> i think it was unusual that we knew UDS-P would be at Florida before UDS-O actually happened
[19:44] <broder> but i haven't been paying attention for too, too long
[19:45] <philipballew> oh nice. what do you do for a living?
[19:45] <broder> i work for MokaFive
[19:45] <broder> bay area software startup
[19:46] <DarkwingDuck> pleia2, You are going to be there?
[19:46] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: yep
[19:46] <philipballew> oh nice. I need to find a sweet job like that. Im looking more for an internship though now
[19:46] <pleia2> hence my "see you there!" :)
[19:51] <broder> philipballew: how much development background do you have? we're always looking for people with ubuntu dev experience, and we take interns
[19:53] <DarkwingDuck> broder, What area of devel?
[20:00] <philipballew> broder, im getting there. I'm down to learn but im a computer information systems major currently in sd. I do python and am attempting currently to learn c and languages of that sort. should have them down soon. broder I do more sysadmin stuff lately
[20:20] <broder> DarkwingDuck: sorry, got pulled away for real life discussion :). we're mostly looking for plumbing (including desktop plumbing) folks
[20:20] <broder> though we'd be glad to talk to anyone with any sort of linux background, because that's half the battle in many cases
[20:21] <DarkwingDuck> broder, care for a PM?
[20:21] <broder> sure
[20:29] <jyo> Is the paper origami ubuntu-us-ca LiveCD case design available somewhere?
[20:30] <pleia2> http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-california
[20:30] <pleia2> you want the 2010branding-sleeves
[20:31] <jyo> Okay, so everything is under code.launchpad junk. Cool. :)
[20:31] <pleia2> yep

[23:03] <bkerensa> Unity is so unstable :P keeps crashing
[23:04] <bkerensa> If I put a music CD in Unity crashes.... If I open LibreOffice writer it crashes :D
[23:06] <akk> "Doctor, it hurts when I use Unity!"
[23:06] <akk> :)
[23:28] <seidos> everytime i join an irc channel i get dr. nick's voice (from the Simpsons) saying "hi everybody!"
[23:28] <seidos> it's only in my head
[23:53] <MarkDude> Sounds cool seidos
[23:53] <MarkDude> I can relate
[23:54] <seidos> MarkDude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqImkDgDwHU&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLF5E61FC8FE6A2BC1
[23:55] <MarkDude> Yep, I know Dr Nick
[23:55] <seidos> but when was the last time you saw him?
[23:56] <seidos> and heard him say "hi everybody..." or "we're going to have to improvise" or "capacimitator"
