[18:08] <andrewrgross> hello?
[18:09] <pleia2> hello
[18:09] <BotenAnna> hello~
[18:09] <andrewrgross> I apologize if I'm interrupting anything.  I'm new to IRC.
[18:09] <BotenAnna> irc just is
[18:09] <BotenAnna> you sit around and things happen
[18:09] <pleia2> welcome :)
[18:09] <andrewrgross> I wanted to participate in the Ubuntu community more, and so I stumbled in.
[18:10] <andrewrgross> Am I in the right place?
[18:10] <BotenAnna> sounds like a good start to me!
[18:10] <andrewrgross> I live in L.A.
[18:10] <andrewrgross> Great.
[18:10] <BotenAnna> i work in culver city so hi person probably not too far from me
[18:10] <andrewrgross> Yeah.
[18:10] <BotenAnna> (well you're at USC, your hostname gives you away bwa ha ha!)
[18:10] <andrewrgross> Yep, I'm at work right now.
[18:10] <andrewrgross> I'm a grad student.
[18:11] <andrewrgross> So, I guess I've figured out the basics of logging on.
[18:11] <andrewrgross> If I understand right, you hold meetings?
[18:11] <pleia2> yes, every other sunday
[18:11] <BotenAnna> I just kind of idle and talk occasionally. They have meetings sometimes, I've watched one or two.
[18:11] <pleia2> we have one coming up this sunday at 7PM
[18:11] <BotenAnna> i wanted to see nhaines' coronation :D
[18:12] <andrewrgross> During other hours, what is this channel used for?
[18:13] <pleia2> talking about ubuntu, planning events, the weather
[18:13] <andrewrgross> Neat.
[18:13] <andrewrgross> If anyone has any etiquette tips or advise on where to learn how to use this better, let me know.
[18:14] <pleia2> most of us stay connected all the time, so if you ever join and no one talks it just means we're all working/schooling/adventuring
[18:14] <BotenAnna> "idling" tis common on IRC
[18:14] <andrewrgross> Great.
[18:14] <BotenAnna> i have a VPS that is always connected to my ircs
[18:14] <pleia2> but it's all pretty casual so feel free to jump in anywhere :)
[18:14] <andrewrgross> Alright.
[18:15] <andrewrgross> What is a VPS, btw?
[18:15] <BotenAnna> virtual private server
[18:15] <BotenAnna> a virtual machine running on a dedicated hosted server
[18:15] <andrewrgross> OOooooohhh...
[18:15] <pleia2> the 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.html
[18:15] <andrewrgross> also, weird question: what does my name show up as to you guys?
[18:15] <pleia2> andrewrgross
[18:16] <andrewrgross> huh.  okay.
[18:16] <akk> andrewrgross is the nick, realname is "purple"
[18:16] <BotenAnna> i joked with nhaines that I'd give a talk at SCaLE about sexism but it's too much effort :V
[18:16] <akk> which means you're using some chat client that doesn't default your fullname properly
[18:16] <andrewrgross> I am still unclear on what the difference between my name, alias, nick, etc. is.
[18:16] <andrewrgross> Pidgin.
[18:16] <Faqtotum> in other words, we know you're using Pidgin
[18:16] <andrewrgross> Yep.
[18:16] <Faqtotum> gah, i can't type fast enough
[18:16] <andrewrgross> And that my hostname is at USC.
[18:17] <andrewrgross> Cool.  Clearly, there is much to learn.
[18:17] <andrewrgross> For now, I'm going to go have lunch.
[18:17] <pleia2> BotenAnna: hah, want some templates? I've done a few (don't anymore though)
[18:17] <andrewrgross> Thank you all!
[18:17] <BotenAnna> pleia2: lol yeah I figured you'd probably have more examples and things to say about it XD
[18:18] <pleia2> when 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] <BotenAnna> the 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 men
[18:19] <pleia2> beards on sysadmin icons make pleia2 a sad sysadmin
[18:20] <BotenAnna> there's the gilded cage/pedestal problem too, like a bit too much doting on and outright worship of women can be quite detrimental
[18:21] <pleia2> yeah, there is a fine line between celebrating work of female contributors who aren't great at self promotion and that
[18:21] <BotenAnna> and 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:
[18:22] <pleia2> it's sad when people are afraid to talk to me :\
[18:22] <pleia2> I am very nice, and shy myself!
[18:22] <pleia2> doesn't happen as much as it used to though
[18:22] <BotenAnna> the OSS community has grown up a bit but we're not there yet
[18:23] <pleia2> yeah
[18:24] <BotenAnna> and ubuntu has been especially good imo, so i hope we can build on that :)
[18:24]  * pleia2 nods
[18:25] <BotenAnna> eating all this leftover halloween candy is reminding me why i dont eat candy much anymore, and in moderate amounts when i do haha
[18:25] <pleia2> lol
[18:25] <pleia2> ubuntu developer summit this week, I no haz halloween :(
[18:25] <pleia2> was kinda sad
[18:25] <BotenAnna> i dressed up like a dalek and it was awesome but nobody at work knew what i was >=(
[18:25] <pleia2> aww
[18:26] <pleia2> dalek++

[18:27] <BotenAnna> EXTERMINATE, etc
[18:29] <pleia2> haha, star trek
[18:30] <pleia2> that dalek costume rocks
[18:31] <BotenAnna> thanks :D
[19:17]  * bkerensa misses Star Trek
[19:17] <bkerensa> but even more there was this series that got killed of
[19:18] <bkerensa> it was called "Space Above and Beyond"
[19:44] <BotenAnna> that sounds familiar
[19:45] <BotenAnna> i dont think i ever watched it but the name sounds about right
[19:45] <BotenAnna> p.s. bring back space cases
[21:17] <nhaines> BotenAnna: you wanted to watch my what?  :P
[21:32] <BotenAnna> coronation! into the royal ranks of open source software!
[21:39] <nhaines> I don't think I have that.
[21:39] <pleia2> King of Ubucon?
[21:40]  * philipballew needs to sign up for that
[21:40] <philipballew> correction
[21:40]  * philipballew wants to sign up for that
[21:42] <nhaines> philipballew: your SCaLE admission will admit you to Ubucon.
[21:43] <philipballew> yeah, I'll look into the exhibitor badge again.
[21:43] <philipballew> nhaines, do you need speakers?
[21:43] <nhaines> philipballew: yes, that was the announcement.
[21:43] <philipballew> sweet! i might take you up on that
[21:44] <nhaines> Great!  The more the merrier.
[22:10] <BotenAnna> i consider myself ubu-pro
[23:25] <philipballew> DarkwingUDS, I thought you gave a lot of consideration to what you said in the Leadership meeting. Thanks for the solid effort!
