[18:09] hello [18:09] hello~ [18:09] I apologize if I'm interrupting anything. I'm new to IRC. [18:09] irc just is [18:09] you sit around and things happen [18:09] welcome :) [18:09] I wanted to participate in the Ubuntu community more, and so I stumbled in. [18:10] Am I in the right place? [18:10] sounds like a good start to me! [18:10] I live in L.A. [18:10] Great. [18:10] i work in culver city so hi person probably not too far from me [18:10] Yeah. [18:10] (well you're at USC, your hostname gives you away bwa ha ha!) [18:10] Yep, I'm at work right now. [18:10] I'm a grad student. [18:11] So, I guess I've figured out the basics of logging on. [18:11] If I understand right, you hold meetings? [18:11] yes, every other sunday [18:11] I just kind of idle and talk occasionally. They have meetings sometimes, I've watched one or two. [18:11] we have one coming up this sunday at 7PM [18:11] i wanted to see nhaines' coronation :D [18:12] During other hours, what is this channel used for? [18:13] talking about ubuntu, planning events, the weather [18:13] Neat. [18:13] If anyone has any etiquette tips or advise on where to learn how to use this better, let me know. [18:14] 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] "idling" tis common on IRC [18:14] Great. [18:14] i have a VPS that is always connected to my ircs [18:14] but it's all pretty casual so feel free to jump in anywhere :) [18:14] Alright. [18:15] What is a VPS, btw? [18:15] virtual private server [18:15] a virtual machine running on a dedicated hosted server [18:15] OOooooohhh... [18:15] 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] also, weird question: what does my name show up as to you guys? [18:15] andrewrgross [18:16] huh. okay. [18:16] andrewrgross is the nick, realname is "purple" [18:16] i joked with nhaines that I'd give a talk at SCaLE about sexism but it's too much effort :V [18:16] which means you're using some chat client that doesn't default your fullname properly [18:16] I am still unclear on what the difference between my name, alias, nick, etc. is. [18:16] Pidgin. [18:16] in other words, we know you're using Pidgin [18:16] Yep. [18:16] gah, i can't type fast enough [18:16] And that my hostname is at USC. [18:17] Cool. Clearly, there is much to learn. [18:17] For now, I'm going to go have lunch. [18:17] BotenAnna: hah, want some templates? I've done a few (don't anymore though) [18:17] Thank you all! [18:17] pleia2: lol yeah I figured you'd probably have more examples and things to say about it XD [18:18] 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] 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] beards on sysadmin icons make pleia2 a sad sysadmin [18:20] 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] yeah, there is a fine line between celebrating work of female contributors who aren't great at self promotion and that [18:21] 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] it's sad when people are afraid to talk to me :\ [18:22] I am very nice, and shy myself! === Corey_ is now known as Corey [18:22] doesn't happen as much as it used to though [18:22] the OSS community has grown up a bit but we're not there yet [18:23] yeah [18:24] and ubuntu has been especially good imo, so i hope we can build on that :) [18:24] * pleia2 nods [18:25] 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] lol [18:25] ubuntu developer summit this week, I no haz halloween :( [18:25] was kinda sad [18:25] i dressed up like a dalek and it was awesome but nobody at work knew what i was >=( [18:25] aww [18:26] dalek++ [18:27] https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/380241_10100576945942561_6019356_57483675_955127605_n.jpg my gf and i [18:27] https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/293944_10100576940733001_6019356_57483530_920647295_n.jpg me being sinister [18:27] EXTERMINATE, etc [18:29] haha, star trek [18:30] that dalek costume rocks [18:31] thanks :D [19:17] * bkerensa misses Star Trek [19:17] but even more there was this series that got killed of [19:18] it was called "Space Above and Beyond" [19:44] that sounds familiar [19:45] i dont think i ever watched it but the name sounds about right [19:45] p.s. bring back space cases [21:17] BotenAnna: you wanted to watch my what? :P [21:32] coronation! into the royal ranks of open source software! [21:39] I don't think I have that. [21:39] King of Ubucon? [21:40] * philipballew needs to sign up for that [21:40] correction [21:40] * philipballew wants to sign up for that [21:42] philipballew: your SCaLE admission will admit you to Ubucon. [21:43] yeah, I'll look into the exhibitor badge again. [21:43] nhaines, do you need speakers? [21:43] philipballew: yes, that was the announcement. [21:43] sweet! i might take you up on that [21:44] Great! The more the merrier. [22:10] i consider myself ubu-pro === Faqtotum is now known as danielg4 [23:25] DarkwingUDS, I thought you gave a lot of consideration to what you said in the Leadership meeting. Thanks for the solid effort!
