[00:02] <Darkwing> OK
[00:02] <Darkwing> meerkat t-shirts I think
[00:02] <Darkwing> maybe 2
[00:03] <pleia2> they were still shipping meerkat tshirts with conference packs in october?
[00:04] <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> :(
[00:05] <bkerensa> Canonical even gets Pangolin and Oneiric shirts :P
[00:06] <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
[00:10] <Gareth> nhaines: ping
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <Darkwing> I'll be wearing my pangolin shirts
[01:47] <Darkwing> Anyone seen iheartubuntu?
[02:02] <pleia2> Darkwing: he hasn't been online, but he responds to email
[02:02] <pleia2> s/online/on irc
[02:02] <Darkwing> pleia2: thanks
[02:24] <philipballew> Darkwing, I talked to him yesterday. He says he'll be at scale friday only
[02:25] <Darkwing> I was looking for some artwork he did for us.
[02:25] <Darkwing> us being SCALE
[02:37] <philipballew> I have his cell number if you need it Darkwing
[02:38] <Darkwing> philipballew: Thanks but, I got it via email :)
[02:38] <philipballew> good! see you at scale!
[02:42] <Darkwing> Aye :)
[02:51] <Darkwing> pleia2: I have a couple of books to raffel off.
[02:52] <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...
[02:53] <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 :)
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <Darkwing> and I think I have a couple of copies of Linux in a nutshell
[02:56] <jyo> and everyone gets a free CD for participating in the raffle. Hooray?
[02:59] <Darkwing> I was thinking of having them sign up for the ML
[03:00] <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?
[03:01] <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.
[03:02] <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.
[03:03] <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 :)
[03:04] <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).
[03:05] <Darkwing> show off the tablet running Ubuntu while they sign up.
[03:05] <akk> And it takes less desk space than a traditional laptop.
[03:06] <philipballew> pleia2, I can bring a unity laptop and a lubuntu laptop
[03:06] <Darkwing> ohhhh, lubuntu
[03:07] <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
[03:08] <pleia2> can you guys add these to our wiki page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale10x
[03:09] <pleia2> so far all we officially have is jdeslip bringing a netbook with ubuntu
[03:12] <Darkwing> Actually, scratch the keyboard.
[03:12] <Darkwing> It has Microsoft plastered all over it
[03:24] <philipballew> pleia2, I might need my laptop when I speak at scale
[03:25] <philipballew> is that a problem? unless they give you one. I wouldnt know
[03:26] <akk> philipballew: I believe them have them available, but most speakers use their own.
[03:27] <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 :)
[03:28] <philipballew> true, i had my laptop give a kernal panic during an online test once.
[03:29] <akk> I have live demos for my scale talk, involving hardware as well as software, so it should be ... interesting.
[03:30] <philipballew> what talk are you giving akk
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <akk> That's the plan, anyway! Fingers crossed.
[03:32] <akk> What's yours?
[05:12] <bkerensa> :D
[05:18] <Darkwing> nhaines: ping
[05:43] <nhaines> Ah, looking better now: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/speakers/nathan/haines
[05:43] <nhaines> Darkwing: pong
[05:51] <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.
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <Darkwing> Because this didn't have anything really on Ubucon. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/schedule
[05:54] <nhaines> Hmm, the information on http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/ubucon should not be published because it is not finalized.
[05:55] <Darkwing> :) I forgot to send in my speaker request lol
[05:55] <nhaines> I know how this time of year gets!
[06:08] <Gareth> 'lo
[06:12] <Darkwing> nhaines: There is no more openings for speakers is there. :)
[06:17] <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.
[06:23] <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?
[06:24] <Darkwing> Rather, should I email?
[06:24] <nhaines> Yes, check out http://ubucon.org/scale/scale10x/
[06:25] <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.  :)
[06:26] <Gareth> please have them submit in the next day or so.  I want to get it finalized.
[06:27] <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. :)
[06:28] <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?
[06:29] <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.
[06:31] <Gareth> not trying to be a difficult here.  Its tough corralling people.  If I can help let me know.
[06:32] <nhaines> I don't think it's apathy.  I think a lot of planning got put on hold for the winter holidays.
[06:33] <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.
[06:34] <Gareth> Nod.  Like I said...if I can help let me know, I can be the bad guy if need be :)
[06:35] <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.
[06:36] <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.  :)
[06:37] <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.
[06:38] <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. :)
[06:40] <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.
[06:42] <Darkwing> I will.
[06:45] <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?
[06:49] <nhaines> Gareth: yes, I have the last talk as starting at 4pm already.
[06:50] <nhaines> I have 9, 10, 11:30, 1:30, 3, and 4.
[06:51] <Gareth> okay cool.
[06:53] <Gareth> schedules adjusted.
[06:54] <Gareth> nhaines: thanks.
[06:54] <Gareth> bbl
[06:58] <nhaines> Gareth: thank you!
[08:58] <nhaines> Hmm, Ubuntu TV concept: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-unveiled-at-ces/
[14:22] <monica_> hi
[14:23] <monica_> can someone help me to configure an intel chipset on ubuntu 11.10?
[14:23] <monica_> I find the opengl very slow
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <akk> At least for my machines, lspci seldom gives any useful info on the graphics controller.
[17:51] <akk> (Intel)
[17:52] <akk> I have to pick through dmesg to find anything useful.
[18:30] <jyo> Good morning, everyone.
[18:38] <nhaines> akk: first you identify the card, then you can figure out what arcane incantations are needed to get it to work.
[18:45] <pleia2> anyone think they could do a "Basics to Ubuntu" session for User Days on Saturday?
[18:46] <pleia2> basic explaining how to navigated Unity, install software
[18:46] <pleia2> -d
[18:47] <MarkDude> grantbow, should make it
[18:47] <MarkDude> he has free transport, as well as his room paid for
[18:47] <MarkDude> Already arranged
[18:57] <pleia2> MarkDude: yay!
[19:10] <Darkwing> pleia2: ping
[19:12] <pleia2> Darkwing: pong
[19:13] <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?
[19:14] <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.
[19:15] <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 ;)
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <Darkwing> Because it's not just for us in KDE land anymore.
[19:20]  * 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
[19:21] <MarkDude> lxde, xfce bug? nope
[19:21] <MarkDude> KDE
[19:21]  * MarkDude waves his fist wildly, vaguely in direction of Europe 
[19:27] <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.
[19:52] <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
[19:53]  * bkerensa whacks MarkDude with a frozen Salmon
[19:54]  * MarkDude said truth
[19:54] <MarkDude> :)
[19:58] <bkerensa> ;p
[20:34] <MarkDude> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS-XrI6Uh3M
[20:35] <MarkDude> How racist is that? I saw it this holiday in Utah
[20:36] <MarkDude> more a bit odd, all sorts of white kids dressed up as differing cultures, they sing that song every year
[20:37]  * 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
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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
[20:42] <MarkDude> True
[20:42] <MarkDude> kemo sabe for example
[20:43] <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
[20:44]  * MarkDude was like nope. Thats approaching black face...... run away
[20:45] <MarkDude> Similar to Halloween costumes, if you want to dress as Italian you wear a Mario mustache... or one like I have now
[20:47]  * MarkDude just found out term *mustache petes* for Italian gangsters, came from a relative Peter Morello http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Morello
[20:48] <MarkDude> Hmmm my ancestry reseacrh is turning into a crime documentary :)
[21:01] <Darkwing> pleia2: you want to do the Xubuntu LTS request for the tech board? :P
[21:04] <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.
[21:06] <pleia2> yeah, he's project lead
[21:07] <MarkDude> is XPL making it to UDS?
[21:07]  * MarkDude is hoping all sorts of *PL folks make it
