[00:00] <bkerensa> cancel that they ended that promo the other day :(
[00:00] <bkerensa> gandi.net is good though like pleia2 said
[00:01] <philipballew> im looking for like 5 to 15 probably. Ill need to keep on the hunt!
[00:01] <bkerensa> heh
[00:01] <bkerensa> also 1and1 charges 99 cents for your first one I think
[00:01] <bkerensa> :D
[00:02] <bkerensa> If you buy in volume like 50+ domain names you can usually get discounts
[00:03] <philipballew> that looks like a good deal
[00:04] <pleia2> I haven't heard anything bad about 1and1 (and they're based out of the philly region, so I used to know some folks who worked there, good people)
[00:07] <philipballew> they say there several dollers a month. I think ill look for a yearly basis. I found one for 15. thats kinda expensive, but i have a account with them. called n0-ip
[00:07] <pleia2> yeah, gandi.net is $15/yr, I call that expensive :)
[00:08] <pleia2> I just moved princessleia.com and wallaceandgromit.net to gandi this morning, and I maintain krumba.ch, simcoec.at and caligulac.at there
[00:08] <pleia2> still have a pile of domains with godaddy, I'm still pondering what to do
[00:09] <philipballew> stupid sopa...
[00:09] <bkerensa> well
[00:09] <pleia2> I've hated godaddy for a long time, just never got around to doing anything about it
[00:11] <bkerensa> Namecheap is kind of a conundrum.... I like them and I know one of their PR people who also works for Mashable but they technically register domains through eNom and eNom will shut any domain down that it wants and has shut down domains owned by Cubans and also shutdown domains because they ran sites that talked about certain prescription drugs and "allegedly" were not pharmacy sites idk
[00:11] <bkerensa> people are just starting to mull this over on Reddit apparently finding out they went from one evil to another
[00:13] <bkerensa> I pay like $8 a year
[00:13] <philipballew> godaddy seems to me pleia2 like a place that advertises themselves as a hooters for the internet... I dont really approve of it.
[00:13] <bkerensa> but I also have over 50 domain names so I get a discount from Namecheap.... their "Gold" discount
[00:14] <philipballew> there commercials are different
[00:14] <bkerensa> philipballew: Good point they are pretty degrading to women.... and the whole fiasco with the founder shooting an elephant :( plus they try and force sell stuff when you just want a domain
[00:15] <philipballew> the super bowl adds make me wonder who they are trying to sell to bkerensa in many ways. they must have a lot of money if they want to do that
[00:16] <pleia2> I have mixed feelings about the "objectification of women" discussion, personally I find it cheap and off-putting, but professionally I'm more annoyed by all the junk they try to sell you when you just want to renew a domain
[00:16] <pleia2> (I find objectification of women a problem in areas where women are a degraded minority anyway, but I don't think I'd consider godaddy in this region)
[00:18] <bkerensa> pleia2: Or when you register a domain they try and sling their budget hosting, seo and mail packages =/
[00:18] <pleia2> bkerensa: yeah, it's really annoying
[00:18] <philipballew> yeah, its not the type of add i'd feel comfortable with with my mother in the room if you know what i mean
[00:18] <bkerensa> Fortunately I dont watch the Super Bowl so I guess I miss a lot of their ads :D
[00:19] <pleia2> haha, same
[00:20] <philipballew> i always go to super bowl parties because they have free food
[00:20] <bkerensa> pleia2: If/when you have a chance might you peak at this and if you want give some feedback
[00:20] <bkerensa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OregonTeam/ApprovalApplication
[00:21] <bkerensa> I plan to submit for January meeting
[00:22] <pleia2> bkerensa: what did -or do at CLS?
[00:23] <bkerensa> pleia2: Well just participated we didnt have a booth but there were three of us and we went because it was before OSCON and we needed to get oriented since MarkDude only gave us two days notice that we would have a booth :(
[00:24] <pleia2> bkerensa: not criticizing, you might want to mention that on the app "$x number of loco members participated to develop our leadership skills for the team" or somesuch
[00:24] <bkerensa> ok
[00:24] <pleia2> and I'd also say you had a booth at oscon right there on the wiki page so they don't need to click through and read the loco directory entry
[00:25] <bkerensa> ahh k
[00:25] <pleia2> (same with puppetconf)
[00:25] <pleia2> and putting them in chronological order would be helpful on the brain :)
[00:26] <bkerensa> k
[00:26] <pleia2> aaand I would suggest having other members of the team attend the approval meeting, you're a very out-there person so it may seem like you're the only active member of the team, they loco council will want to see that there are other members around
[00:29] <bkerensa> pleia2: Yeah I can have people show up thats not a problem... I'm hoping some good considering goes into approving it because there has been a slight decrease in activity and I think it may be a result of me actually telling people we should wait on the application
[00:29] <bkerensa> :(
[00:29] <bkerensa> They wanted me to apply back in October
[00:29] <pleia2> ah, well hopefully the news that you're moving forward with it now will draw them back :)
[00:30] <bkerensa> But I mean when it comes to events we generally have 15-30 people at every event
[00:30]  * pleia2 nods
[00:30] <pleia2> w00t, transfer to gandi finished
[00:30] <bkerensa> heh
[00:30] <pleia2> godaddy sure doesn't make it easy
[00:30] <bkerensa> they need to make transfers of domains sameday
[00:30] <pleia2> unlock, auth code, confirm
[01:22] <Gareth> nhaines: ping
[01:40] <MarkDude> bkerensa, you are including 2010 for OSCON?
[01:40] <MarkDude> No one had booths for CLS as far as I can rememebr
[07:39] <bkerensa> MarkDude: It doesnt mention us having a booth at CLS just that we participated in the event (showed up and went to sessions) its a unconf so nobody really has booths
[07:39] <bkerensa> :D
[09:48] <MarkDude> Ok, makes sense. I was wondering why you were asked about it
[09:48] <MarkDude> Still was curious about OSCON 2010
[10:10] <nhaines> Gareth: pong!  Sorry, been super busy and away this week, and it's going to continue for another day....
[10:10] <nhaines> Gareth: Feel free to send a query or an email, I do see emails on my phone at least.  :)
[19:46] <Gareth> nhaines: if you can all the UbuCon speakers, those that haven't alredy, to register and submit their UbuCon talks into the SCALE CFP system.  That will make things easier to publish to the schedule of events.
[19:47] <MarkDude> Anyone up for checking out my zombie comic book?
[19:47] <MarkDude> pretty much safe for work
[19:48] <Gareth> MarkDude: url?
[19:49] <MarkDude> https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/105095769731159704550/albums/5692031109692390289
[19:50]  * MarkDude is calling this - *career roulette*
[19:53] <Gareth> MarkDude: cool shots.
[19:55] <akk> yeah ... not sure they seem that comic-book like, but they're fun
[19:56] <MarkDude> akk,  well it will be a mix of pics, drawings and edited pics
[19:56] <MarkDude> techincally a live action zombie comic book...
[19:57] <MarkDude> Early on, I decided- to NOT have all ot the zombies be hella gross
[20:01] <MarkDude> akk, should I order the shirt for D ?
[20:04] <akk> Sure, go ahead whenever it's convenient.
[20:04] <akk> less gross zombies sound like a good idea -- we've all seen the standard version by now.
[20:40] <dragon> MarkDude: another ping!
[21:10] <nhaines> Gareth: sure thing!
[21:13] <MarkDude> hey dragon
[22:06] <Gareth> nhaines: thanks
