| valorie | and everybody! | 07:31 |
| bkerensa | :) | 07:35 |
| valorie | how was your xmas, bkerensa? | 07:36 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Very nice... How was yours? | 07:39 |
| valorie | started out horrible -- my old doggie died Xmas Eve morning | 07:40 |
| valorie | but since I got to spend that evening and the next with family | 07:40 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Thats sad to hear =/ | 07:40 |
| valorie | ended up good\ | 07:40 |
| bkerensa | good :D | 07:40 |
| valorie | I miss him a lot | 07:40 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Got a question about UDS sponsorship | 07:40 |
| valorie | he would have been 17 next week | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | valorie: If a member gets sponsored how do they cover travel and hotel costs? | 07:41 |
| valorie | you can ask for either or both | 07:41 |
| valorie | and you don't have to be a member | 07:41 |
| valorie | how -- you can keep your reciepts and ask for reimbursement, or they will buy your tickets for you | 07:42 |
| valorie | hotel is covered and most meals if you are sponsored | 07:42 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Ahh so I can indeed ask for them to just buy them for me? | 07:42 |
| valorie | yup | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | ok good | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | :D | 07:43 |
| valorie | they have a travel bureau | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | I'm hoping to go to UDS :D | 07:43 |
| valorie | very good | 07:43 |
| valorie | cool, me too | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | +1 | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | oh | 07:43 |
| valorie | whether or not they sponsor | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | valorie: I need some help talking O'Reilly into giving the Ubuntu PNW locos a booth | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | ie: WA/OR | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | :D | 07:43 |
| valorie | although staying in the hotel is really nice | 07:43 |
| valorie | everything is THERE | 07:43 |
| valorie | really? | 07:44 |
| valorie | they have always covered that | 07:44 |
| valorie | but give me an address and I'll write | 07:44 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Yeah.... Well I asked them and they told me something along the lines that "Dot org booths are in high demand so you will have to apply in March" | 07:44 |
| valorie | heh | 07:44 |
| valorie | we'll get one | 07:45 |
| bkerensa | ok | 07:45 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 07:45 |
| bkerensa | I plan to make this booth good this time (Conference Kit, Sign etc. ) | 07:45 |
| valorie | when the time comes, please tell me, and I'll write too | 07:45 |
| bkerensa | ok :) | 07:46 |
| valorie | awesome! | 07:46 |
| valorie | sec | 07:46 |
| valorie | I got an early xmas present -- a treadmill and walking desk | 07:48 |
| valorie | tired tonight, had to quit | 07:48 |
| valorie | after spending so much time with my dad after he broke his other hip | 07:49 |
| valorie | I NEVER want to end up like that | 07:49 |
| valorie | I think he wishes he'd spent less time in a chair in front of his TV | 07:50 |
| valorie | (FOX News at 100% volume) | 07:51 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Uhh fox news? :D I think I will hold comments :D | 07:53 |
| valorie | exactly | 07:53 |
| valorie | it was too loud for your comments to be heard, anyway | 07:53 |
| valorie | lol | 07:54 |
| bkerensa | heh | 07:55 |
| * bkerensa is buying stuff off ubuntu store to giveaway to Ubuntu Oregon folks to try and generate more activity | 07:56 | |
| bkerensa | :D | 07:56 |
| valorie | that's how I was raised -- fundamentalist right-wing | 07:56 |
| valorie | needless to say, once I got some education, I changed my world-view | 07:56 |
| valorie | nice | 07:57 |
| bkerensa | valorie: I kind of wish the loco's on the west coast got together and did like quarterly buys | 07:59 |
| bkerensa | the shipping canonical charges is beyond highway robbery | 07:59 |
| bkerensa | :( | 07:59 |
| valorie | agreed | 07:59 |
| valorie | to get Kubuntu stuff, I had to pay shipping from the UK | 08:00 |
| valorie | shipping was actually more than the stuff I bought | 08:00 |
| valorie | still worth it though | 08:00 |
| bkerensa | better yet if I'm spending money to promote Ubuntu they should give me a discount on shipping that or have a local Canonical person who handles U.S. purchasers :D | 08:00 |
| valorie | I'm sure that you could coordinate buys if you write to the lists, plus PNW | 08:00 |
| bkerensa | I bought a hat and some pens for christmas and shipping was close to $20 and it took almost two weeks :( | 08:01 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 08:01 |
| bkerensa | I think Im going to | 08:01 |
| valorie | people will want stuff before Scale and LFNW | 08:02 |
| valorie | write soon..... | 08:02 |
| bkerensa | :D | 08:12 |
| bkerensa | kk | 08:12 |
| bkerensa | valorie: Did you get my e-mail? | 08:12 |
| valorie | oh, let me look | 08:12 |
| valorie | haven't been home much | 08:12 |
| valorie | wow, lots of questions | 08:17 |
| valorie | I'll get to work on it | 08:17 |
| bkerensa | :D | 08:18 |
| valorie | damn, a week? | 08:18 |
| valorie | I'm so sorry | 08:18 |
| valorie | xmas has been busy | 08:18 |
| bkerensa | valorie: I'm hoping to get the spotlight on some other women contributors in the Ubuntu community | 08:18 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 08:18 |
| valorie | good deal | 08:21 |
| valorie | we need the guys to help in the effort, in order to have success | 08:21 |
