| Darkwing | OK | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Darkwing | meerkat t-shirts I think | 00:02 |
| Darkwing | maybe 2 | 00:02 |
| pleia2 | they were still shipping meerkat tshirts with conference packs in october? | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | that's crazy, might need to talk to the loco council about it, dumping excess goods from crazy old releases on loco teams isn't cool | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | not cool | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | :( | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | Canonical even gets Pangolin and Oneiric shirts :P | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | I could see natty shirts since the request was made just before oneiric was shipped, but maverick was a year old by then :( | 00:06 |
| pleia2 | I think we got maverick shirts for SCALE *last* year | 00:06 |
| Gareth | nhaines: ping | 00:10 |
| akk | I'm sure you can find lots of takers for meerkat shirts, though I agree on principle about the dumping old stuff on locos. | 00:13 |
| Darkwing | I'll be wearing my pangolin shirts | 00:14 |
| Darkwing | Anyone seen iheartubuntu? | 01:47 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: he hasn't been online, but he responds to email | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | s/online/on irc | 02:02 |
| Darkwing | pleia2: thanks | 02:02 |
| philipballew | Darkwing, I talked to him yesterday. He says he'll be at scale friday only | 02:24 |
| Darkwing | I was looking for some artwork he did for us. | 02:25 |
| Darkwing | us being SCALE | 02:25 |
| philipballew | I have his cell number if you need it Darkwing | 02:37 |
| Darkwing | philipballew: Thanks but, I got it via email :) | 02:38 |
| philipballew | good! see you at scale! | 02:38 |
| Darkwing | Aye :) | 02:42 |
| Darkwing | pleia2: I have a couple of books to raffel off. | 02:51 |
| Darkwing | s/raffel/raffle/ | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: great, me too | 02:52 |
| Darkwing | I forget what they are called. | 02:52 |
| Darkwing | Oh yeah... | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | I have one of the latest Official Ubuntu Book | 02:53 |
| Darkwing | http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781593272579.do | 02:53 |
| Darkwing | I have I think 3 or 4 of them. | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | sweet | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | I'll bring raffle tickets :) | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | I figure we tell everyone to come at a certain time each day and hand out raffle tickets when they arrive, then do a raffle | 02:54 |
| pleia2 | other raffle ideas in the past haven't worked out well | 02:54 |
| Darkwing | and I think I have a couple of copies of Linux in a nutshell | 02:55 |
| jyo | and everyone gets a free CD for participating in the raffle. Hooray? | 02:56 |
| Darkwing | I was thinking of having them sign up for the ML | 02:59 |
| philipballew | I still have to get my speech together for scale. this thing is coming fast | 03:00 |
| Darkwing | For a Raffle Ticket | 03:00 |
| philipballew | we can get a dedicated ml computer set up? | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | maybe not a dedicated one (we don't have enough computers) but we can bring it up in the browser of any of the demo ones | 03:01 |
| Darkwing | But, I think that would be good for the raffle | 03:01 |
| philipballew | Im sure someone could bring an extra laptop, however, the table might not have enough room. | 03:01 |
| philipballew | would a simple pen and paper ml sign up work? | 03:02 |
| Darkwing | I'm not a fan as it is not easy to read some of these things. | 03:02 |
| akk | ml? | 03:02 |
| Darkwing | Mailing List. | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: I haven't had a ton of luck getting many laptops at all for demos | 03:03 |
| pleia2 | so while you're "sure" - I'm not sure we'll even have enough for basic demos :) | 03:03 |
| Darkwing | I can bring a monitor, keyboard and mouse if someone has a small tower. | 03:04 |
| akk | oh, hey, would an exoPC tablet help? I have one sitting around doing nothing. | 03:04 |
| philipballew | I have 3 laptops i can bring. a dell i5, a ppc macbook with a cli install. and a laptop thats windows 2000 era. | 03:04 |
| Darkwing | That would be kinda cool. | 03:04 |
| akk | It's meego, but it runs ubuntu off a USB stick just fine (and maybe it's time to install it permanently). | 03:04 |
| Darkwing | show off the tablet running Ubuntu while they sign up. | 03:05 |
| akk | And it takes less desk space than a traditional laptop. | 03:05 |
| philipballew | pleia2, I can bring a unity laptop and a lubuntu laptop | 03:06 |
| Darkwing | ohhhh, lubuntu | 03:06 |
| philipballew | its pretty cool. | 03:07 |
| Darkwing | I might leave my laptop at the booth so we can show off Kubuntu... i don't think anyone else uses teh Blue wonder | 03:07 |
| philipballew | its really old hardware. people can be amazed that the big linux distro runs on old stuff as well | 03:07 |
| Darkwing | :D | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | can you guys add these to our wiki page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale10x | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | so far all we officially have is jdeslip bringing a netbook with ubuntu | 03:09 |
| Darkwing | Actually, scratch the keyboard. | 03:12 |
| Darkwing | It has Microsoft plastered all over it | 03:12 |
| philipballew | pleia2, I might need my laptop when I speak at scale | 03:24 |
| philipballew | is that a problem? unless they give you one. I wouldnt know | 03:25 |
| akk | philipballew: I believe them have them available, but most speakers use their own. | 03:26 |
| akk | With someone else's, you can't be sure that everything's going to work predictably the way it did when you rehearsed. | 03:27 |
| akk | (not that you can be sure of that anyway -- darned computers, they always manage to glitch in some amusing way :) | 03:27 |
| philipballew | true, i had my laptop give a kernal panic during an online test once. | 03:28 |
| akk | I have live demos for my scale talk, involving hardware as well as software, so it should be ... interesting. | 03:29 |
| philipballew | what talk are you giving akk | 03:30 |
| akk | "Fun with Linux and Devices" -- about hardware and robotics, mostly Arduino | 03:31 |
| Darkwing | I'm not talking this year. | 03:31 |
| philipballew | nice. That sounds like a fun one | 03:31 |
| akk | That's the plan, anyway! Fingers crossed. | 03:32 |
| akk | What's yours? | 03:32 |
| bkerensa | :D | 05:12 |
| Darkwing | nhaines: ping | 05:18 |
| nhaines | Ah, looking better now: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/speakers/nathan/haines | 05:43 |
| nhaines | Darkwing: pong | 05:43 |
| Darkwing | nhaines: I answered my own question. I'll make sure that the schedule gets updated with UbuCon speakers | 05:51 |
| Darkwing | I noticed that it was not updated | 05:51 |
| nhaines | The data are incomplete. | 05:51 |
| nhaines | Don't worry, I am driving my speakers with whips about this! | 05:52 |
| Darkwing | Is this up to date? http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/ubucon | 05:52 |
| Darkwing | Because this didn't have anything really on Ubucon. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/schedule | 05:53 |
| nhaines | Hmm, the information on http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/ubucon should not be published because it is not finalized. | 05:54 |
| Darkwing | :) I forgot to send in my speaker request lol | 05:55 |
| nhaines | I know how this time of year gets! | 05:55 |
| Gareth | 'lo | 06:08 |
| Darkwing | nhaines: There is no more openings for speakers is there. :) | 06:12 |
| Gareth | so right I've published the schedule as Nathan has provided in the UbuCon event page...but its not in the main schedule yet but those speakers have not registered & submitted talks yet. | 06:17 |
| nhaines | Darkwing: Don't think so, but if you want to submit a standby talk, I'm all for contingency plans. | 06:23 |
| Darkwing | Email? | 06:23 |
| Darkwing | Rather, should I email? | 06:24 |
| nhaines | Yes, check out http://ubucon.org/scale/scale10x/ | 06:24 |
| Gareth | nhaines: so we less than 2 weeks away :) Why havent your speakers submitted their talks yet? :) | 06:25 |
| nhaines | And do it tonight, because I very much hope to have the full site up tomorrow. | 06:25 |
| nhaines | Gareth: because they are still sluggish from egg nog. :) | 06:25 |
| Gareth | please have them submit in the next day or so. I want to get it finalized. | 06:26 |
| nhaines | Gareth: that's what I've told them, but I'm at their mercy. If I don't have everything by Monday night I'll submit placeholder titles. I know everyone's topic. | 06:27 |
| nhaines | Gareth: I think this month-early stuff came up a little faster than everyone thought. :) | 06:27 |
| Darkwing | I know it did for me. :) | 06:27 |
| Darkwing | And I've typped in the dates a couple hundred times lol | 06:28 |
| Gareth | seriously, why are they lagging? | 06:28 |
| Darkwing | Apathy? | 06:28 |
| Gareth | yeah. its a bit of a surprise but its really no excuse for not submitting a talk that you know you're going to give in less than 2 weeks. | 06:29 |
| Darkwing | :D | 06:29 |
| Gareth | if its apathy then thats lame | 06:29 |
| Darkwing | I would tend to agree. | 06:29 |
| Gareth | not trying to be a difficult here. Its tough corralling people. If I can help let me know. | 06:31 |
| nhaines | I don't think it's apathy. I think a lot of planning got put on hold for the winter holidays. | 06:32 |
| nhaines | The two outstanding speakers told me they'd have the information soon, which I have to take on faith, and Jorge literally volunteered last-minute, so he's really doing me a favor. | 06:33 |
| Gareth | Nod. Like I said...if I can help let me know, I can be the bad guy if need be :) | 06:34 |
| nhaines | I appreciate it. :) I'm definitely already anxious, but I won't be upset until Tuesday. Then I will be positively annoyed. :) | 06:35 |
| Gareth | Okay. we'll wait until Tuesday then. | 06:35 |
| nhaines | Thanks. I'll send another email tonight and then poke people Monday afternoon. | 06:35 |
| Gareth | if those people are definitely speaking then I'm going to add filler sessions, just so the schedule is complete. | 06:36 |
| nhaines | Do it, then. But please spell Ralf *Pieper*'s name right, he was a little upset with me and I couldn't figure out why until tonight. :) | 06:36 |
| Gareth | won't include his name until he submits it. | 06:37 |
| Darkwing | nhaines: backup talk submitted. | 06:37 |
| nhaines | It's on the Ubucon even page and it's wrong. :) | 06:37 |
| Gareth | yeah. just saw that and fixed it. | 06:37 |
| nhaines | Gareth: thanks. | 06:37 |
| nhaines | Darkwing: Thank you. Last time I did a lightning talk session, it was all crickets from the audience. Pete Graner stepped up and really saved the day there. | 06:38 |
| Darkwing | Maybe I'll hold it for that... Last time I did a talk on activities it went for an hour. :) | 06:38 |
| nhaines | It's no sweat for me to stall for an hour but I prefer to have something lined up. So if you'll be around for the 10am slot, well, be prepared. | 06:40 |
| Darkwing | I will. | 06:42 |
| Gareth | nhaines: any chance we can adjust the schedule to have your last talk start at 4pm? so it lines up with the rest of the friday events? | 06:45 |
| nhaines | Gareth: yes, I have the last talk as starting at 4pm already. | 06:49 |
| nhaines | I have 9, 10, 11:30, 1:30, 3, and 4. | 06:50 |
| Gareth | okay cool. | 06:51 |
| Gareth | schedules adjusted. | 06:53 |
| Gareth | nhaines: thanks. | 06:54 |
| Gareth | bbl | 06:54 |
| nhaines | Gareth: thank you! | 06:58 |

| nhaines | Hmm, Ubuntu TV concept: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-unveiled-at-ces/ | 08:58 |
| === izdubar is now known as MarkDude | ||
| monica_ | hi | 14:22 |
| monica_ | can someone help me to configure an intel chipset on ubuntu 11.10? | 14:23 |
| monica_ | I find the opengl very slow | 14:23 |
| === izdubar is now known as MarkDude | ||
| pleia2 | monica_: do you know what card it is? (should be able to figure out something that looks related to video among the output of this command: lspci) | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | I don't have experience with intel cards, but typically if you put the card model number into ubuntuforums.org you can get a place to start | 17:50 |
| akk | At least for my machines, lspci seldom gives any useful info on the graphics controller. | 17:51 |
| akk | (Intel) | 17:51 |
| akk | I have to pick through dmesg to find anything useful. | 17:52 |
| jyo | Good morning, everyone. | 18:30 |
| nhaines | akk: first you identify the card, then you can figure out what arcane incantations are needed to get it to work. | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | anyone think they could do a "Basics to Ubuntu" session for User Days on Saturday? | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | basic explaining how to navigated Unity, install software | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | -d | 18:46 |
| MarkDude | grantbow, should make it | 18:47 |
| MarkDude | he has free transport, as well as his room paid for | 18:47 |
| MarkDude | Already arranged | 18:47 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: yay! | 18:57 |
| Darkwing | pleia2: ping | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: pong | 19:12 |
| Darkwing | pleia2: I recieved an email from some of the Qt guys that will be at SCALE. They are trying to get a push on Qt with having ppl be part of a "Qt is used here" on booths. Because of the long standing Kubungu/KDE and Qt connection plus Ubuntu starting to adopt Qt inside, would we be interested in being a part of this? | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: I've already been talking to one of them on the Unity 2D side, I think it's good | 19:14 |
| pleia2 | I assume they are talking to you about Kubuntu? | 19:14 |
| Darkwing | Well, sorta. | 19:14 |
| Darkwing | I know most of them from the KDE side anyway but yes. | 19:15 |
| Darkwing | We all hung out at UDS :D | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | cool | 19:15 |
| Darkwing | Okay cool. | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | they asked me about KDE stuff and I haven't had a chance to reply, so I'll reply and just tell them to continue talking to you ;) | 19:15 |
| Darkwing | Prolly isn't the same ppl have them email me anyway. :P | 19:16 |
| Darkwing | Knowing Qt... | 19:16 |
| Darkwing | It's like everything else. No one talks to anyone else. | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | Peter Mui | 19:16 |
| Darkwing | Yup same person | 19:16 |
| Darkwing | :D | 19:17 |
| Darkwing | That's a first. | 19:17 |
| Darkwing | But I like the idea of having a "Qt is used here" tag | 19:17 |
| Darkwing | Because it's not just for us in KDE land anymore. | 19:18 |
| * MarkDude advised friend to pick KDE | 19:20 | |
| Darkwing | Yay! :) | 19:20 |
| MarkDude | turns out there was a bug ONLY to KDE for printer | 19:20 |
| MarkDude | NOTHING ELSE | 19:20 |
| MarkDude | no unity bug | 19:20 |
| MarkDude | No Gnome 3 bug | 19:20 |
| MarkDude | lxde, xfce bug? nope | 19:21 |
| MarkDude | KDE | 19:21 |
| * MarkDude waves his fist wildly, vaguely in direction of Europe | 19:21 | |
| nhaines | So my job for Ubucon is to learn as much about Ubuntu TV as I can, because that's all anyone's gonig to ask during Q&A. | 19:27 |
| MarkDude | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-unveiled-at-ces/ | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | Unity interface now makes sense | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | it would be effin' awesome on a tv | 19:52 |
| * bkerensa whacks MarkDude with a frozen Salmon | 19:53 | |
| * MarkDude said truth | 19:54 | |
| MarkDude | :) | 19:54 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 19:58 |
| MarkDude | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS-XrI6Uh3M | 20:34 |
| MarkDude | How racist is that? I saw it this holiday in Utah | 20:35 |
| MarkDude | more a bit odd, all sorts of white kids dressed up as differing cultures, they sing that song every year | 20:36 |
| * MarkDude remembers doing the Mexican hat dance in school inSan Diego, and a few friends saying - um yes, we NEVER do this at home :D | 20:37 | |
| bkerensa | idk... I watched this documentary called "the reel injuns" last night and it talked about how Hollywood has used film to brainwash Americans into believing stereotypes about Native Americans | 20:38 |
| bkerensa | Funny thing is apparently in all the movies you hear Native Americans actually talking in a native tongue they are just making up random stuff and insulting other actors | 20:39 |
| bkerensa | Studios never considered translating what they were saying :P | 20:39 |
| MarkDude | True | 20:42 |
| MarkDude | kemo sabe for example | 20:42 |
| MarkDude | Tonto was calling the Lone Ranger sh*t head | 20:43 |
| * MarkDude is working on his zombie comic, and needed Eastern Indian woman, a few people suggested I do it with makeup :P | 20:43 | |
| * MarkDude was like nope. Thats approaching black face...... run away | 20:44 | |
| MarkDude | Similar to Halloween costumes, if you want to dress as Italian you wear a Mario mustache... or one like I have now | 20:45 |
| * MarkDude just found out term *mustache petes* for Italian gangsters, came from a relative Peter Morello http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Morello | 20:47 | |
| MarkDude | Hmmm my ancestry reseacrh is turning into a crime documentary :) | 20:48 |
| Darkwing | pleia2: you want to do the Xubuntu LTS request for the tech board? :P | 21:01 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: all I do on the xubuntu side is marketing and web, our LTS thing was already forwarded to the tech board but I don't know who is handling it | 21:04 |
| Darkwing | NM Knome showed up. | 21:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, he's project lead | 21:06 |
| MarkDude | is XPL making it to UDS? | 21:07 |
| * MarkDude is hoping all sorts of *PL folks make it | 21:07 | |
