pleia2hello18:09
BotenAnnahello~18:09
andrewrgrossI apologize if I'm interrupting anything.  I'm new to IRC.18:09
BotenAnnairc just is18:09
BotenAnnayou sit around and things happen18:09
pleia2welcome :)18:09
andrewrgrossI wanted to participate in the Ubuntu community more, and so I stumbled in.18:09
andrewrgrossAm I in the right place?18:10
BotenAnnasounds like a good start to me!18:10
andrewrgrossI live in L.A.18:10
andrewrgrossGreat.18:10
BotenAnnai work in culver city so hi person probably not too far from me18:10
andrewrgrossYeah.18:10
BotenAnna(well you're at USC, your hostname gives you away bwa ha ha!)18:10
andrewrgrossYep, I'm at work right now.18:10
andrewrgrossI'm a grad student.18:10
andrewrgrossSo, I guess I've figured out the basics of logging on.18:11
andrewrgrossIf I understand right, you hold meetings?18:11
pleia2yes, every other sunday18:11
BotenAnnaI just kind of idle and talk occasionally. They have meetings sometimes, I've watched one or two.18:11
pleia2we have one coming up this sunday at 7PM18:11
BotenAnnai wanted to see nhaines' coronation :D18:11
andrewrgrossDuring other hours, what is this channel used for?18:12
pleia2talking about ubuntu, planning events, the weather18:13
andrewrgrossNeat.18:13
andrewrgrossIf anyone has any etiquette tips or advise on where to learn how to use this better, let me know.18:13
pleia2most of us stay connected all the time, so if you ever join and no one talks it just means we're all working/schooling/adventuring18:14
BotenAnna"idling" tis common on IRC18:14
andrewrgrossGreat.18:14
BotenAnnai have a VPS that is always connected to my ircs18:14
pleia2but it's all pretty casual so feel free to jump in anywhere :)18:14
andrewrgrossAlright.18:14
andrewrgrossWhat is a VPS, btw?18:15
BotenAnnavirtual private server18:15
BotenAnnaa virtual machine running on a dedicated hosted server18:15
andrewrgrossOOooooohhh...18:15
pleia2the big event that nhaines just announced down in LA is an Ubucon at SCaLE in the end of January: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2011-October/001849.html18:15
andrewrgrossalso, weird question: what does my name show up as to you guys?18:15
pleia2andrewrgross18:15
andrewrgrosshuh.  okay.18:16
akkandrewrgross is the nick, realname is "purple"18:16
BotenAnnai joked with nhaines that I'd give a talk at SCaLE about sexism but it's too much effort :V18:16
akkwhich means you're using some chat client that doesn't default your fullname properly18:16
andrewrgrossI am still unclear on what the difference between my name, alias, nick, etc. is.18:16
andrewrgrossPidgin.18:16
Faqtotumin other words, we know you're using Pidgin18:16
andrewrgrossYep.18:16
Faqtotumgah, i can't type fast enough18:16
andrewrgrossAnd that my hostname is at USC.18:16
andrewrgrossCool.  Clearly, there is much to learn.18:17
andrewrgrossFor now, I'm going to go have lunch.18:17
pleia2BotenAnna: hah, want some templates? I've done a few (don't anymore though)18:17
andrewrgrossThank you all!18:17
BotenAnnapleia2: lol yeah I figured you'd probably have more examples and things to say about it XD18:17
pleia2when people ask me to give women talks I just give general "attract people to your project" talks and they mostly cover the same things (be nice and welcoming)18:18
BotenAnnathe effort part would be that I'd approach it from finding common examples of casual sexism and dissect them a bit, and focus on where sexism hurts men18:18
pleia2beards on sysadmin icons make pleia2 a sad sysadmin18:19
BotenAnnathere's the gilded cage/pedestal problem too, like a bit too much doting on and outright worship of women can be quite detrimental18:20
pleia2yeah, there is a fine line between celebrating work of female contributors who aren't great at self promotion and that18:21
BotenAnnaand it just puts me in a weird position. i'm just a person, doing a thing... it fences me in if you think i'm some crazy etherial heaven-being D:18:21
pleia2it's sad when people are afraid to talk to me :\18:22
pleia2I am very nice, and shy myself!18:22
=== Corey_ is now known as Corey
pleia2doesn't happen as much as it used to though18:22
BotenAnnathe OSS community has grown up a bit but we're not there yet18:22
pleia2yeah18:23
BotenAnnaand ubuntu has been especially good imo, so i hope we can build on that :)18:24
