[03:40] <pleia2> bkerensa: the folks in #ubuntu-irc would know, just ask who you ask for the meetingology bot (or you could run your own: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bots/ubuntu-bots/meetingology)
[17:03] <bkerensa> MarkDude: I saw you might be going to FudCon
[17:03] <bkerensa> :D
[17:03]  * bkerensa was thinking about potentially going :P
[17:03] <bkerensa> Virginia is a long ways away though
[17:26]  * MarkDude already has room reserved for FUDcon
[17:26]  * MarkDude is for sure going
[17:26] <MarkDude> Ubuntu folks are welcome, we have a few that are scheduled to go.
[17:27] <MarkDude> bkerensa, we have some folks from South and Central America going. VA in Jan means snow most likely, some of them have NEVER seen snow in person
[17:28] <MarkDude> Can you say snowball fight, snow peoples, and snow angels?
[17:28]  * MarkDude is making a strong push for FUDcon 2013 to be in NorCal
[17:28] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Yeah I will see as things get closer :) I also want to go to PyCon
[17:29] <MarkDude> There are a few people that are BOTH official Ubuntu members as well as Fedora Ambadassadors
[17:30] <MarkDude> Or as I call it, penguin admirers
[17:41] <bkerensa> MarkDude: thefinn93 will be back in PDX today.... I have to go meet him and give him a box of swag (Shirts, Thumbdrives, and other stuff)
[17:41] <bkerensa> :D
[17:49] <MarkDude> Good stuff
[17:50] <MarkDude> bkerensa, if I get some Beefy Miracle and Pangolin being friends shirts, would you wear one?
[17:50] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Depends if they fit :P
[17:50]  * MarkDude really, really likes the idea of presenting FOSS as a big family
[17:51] <MarkDude> bkerensa, one of the many things I learned from Geek Feminism
[17:51] <MarkDude> Is to respect that folks are different sizes
[17:51] <MarkDude> And to recognize that
[17:51] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Well then dont forget a Suse gecko and a bsd devil
[17:51] <bkerensa> :P
[17:51]  * MarkDude will only make shirts if they are of different sizes, as well as options for women
[17:52] <MarkDude> Skud wrote a really good post about this a while ago
[17:53] <MarkDude> bkerensa, what if the hot dog and pangolin are playing volleyball against the gecko and Beastie?
[17:53] <bkerensa> lol
[17:53] <bkerensa> :D
[17:53] <MarkDude> Chris wanted to do a shirt that had Beastie throwing a penguin in the oven
[17:53] <MarkDude> To tie in with GidgetKitchen
[17:54]  * MarkDude is willing to do a few like that, but only if it is shared around, like another design with a penguin getting Beastie with a pitchfork
[17:55] <MarkDude> Good natured and such
[17:56]  * MarkDude is drying some spices today, 3 types of oregano, thyme, rosemary, as well as sage. 
[17:56]  * MarkDude can mail you some if you like bkerensa 
[17:57] <MarkDude> Same thing for anyone else on the Team (here or Oregon)
[17:57] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Ahhh I'm good I have a huge cabinet full of spices
[17:57] <bkerensa> :D
[17:57] <MarkDude> they dont weigh that much
[17:57] <bkerensa> too many
[17:57] <bkerensa> =/
[17:57] <MarkDude> Well I understand
[17:57] <bkerensa> ohh its not that its literally I have right now like 40 bottles
[17:57] <bkerensa> my mom dropped off a huge bag of spices
[17:57] <MarkDude> Anyone else want some Italian spices - grown by authentic dago?
[17:57] <MarkDude> :D
[18:11] <MarkDude> bkerensa, http://geekfeminism.org/2010/10/07/the-t-shirt-challenge/
[18:11]  * MarkDude wont organize FUDcon here, unless it can meet the challenge
[18:13] <MarkDude> Btw, Zareason has some really cool shirts, and they have all sorts of sizes http://zareason.com/shop/Linux-T-shirt.html
[18:14] <MarkDude> 9 sizes for men, 7 for women
[18:39] <bkerensa> MarkDude: JetBlue planes are being delayed due to a herd of Turtles http://bit.ly/vS8exF
[18:56] <MarkDude> Identica is down? Do they have a fail penguin?
[21:09] <MarkDude> bkerensa, http://benjaminkerensa.com/2011/10/29/canonical-and-redhat-release-joint-secure-boot-whitepaper/ good example of FOSS folks finding common ground
[21:11]  * MarkDude likes how you wrote the "it could be part" 
[21:11] <MarkDude> It also could just me MS being evil.
[21:11]  * MarkDude is willing to bet Europe will sue
