[00:02] OK [00:02] meerkat t-shirts I think [00:02] maybe 2 [00:03] they were still shipping meerkat tshirts with conference packs in october? [00:04] 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] not cool [00:04] :( [00:05] Canonical even gets Pangolin and Oneiric shirts :P [00:06] 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] I think we got maverick shirts for SCALE *last* year [00:10] nhaines: ping [00:13] 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] I'll be wearing my pangolin shirts [01:47] Anyone seen iheartubuntu? [02:02] Darkwing: he hasn't been online, but he responds to email [02:02] s/online/on irc [02:02] pleia2: thanks [02:24] Darkwing, I talked to him yesterday. He says he'll be at scale friday only [02:25] I was looking for some artwork he did for us. [02:25] us being SCALE [02:37] I have his cell number if you need it Darkwing [02:38] philipballew: Thanks but, I got it via email :) [02:38] good! see you at scale! [02:42] Aye :) [02:51] pleia2: I have a couple of books to raffel off. [02:52] s/raffel/raffle/ [02:52] Darkwing: great, me too [02:52] I forget what they are called. [02:52] Oh yeah... [02:53] I have one of the latest Official Ubuntu Book [02:53] http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781593272579.do [02:53] I have I think 3 or 4 of them. [02:53] sweet [02:53] I'll bring raffle tickets :) [02:54] 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] other raffle ideas in the past haven't worked out well [02:55] and I think I have a couple of copies of Linux in a nutshell [02:56] and everyone gets a free CD for participating in the raffle. Hooray? [02:59] I was thinking of having them sign up for the ML [03:00] I still have to get my speech together for scale. this thing is coming fast [03:00] For a Raffle Ticket [03:00] we can get a dedicated ml computer set up? [03:01] 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] But, I think that would be good for the raffle [03:01] Im sure someone could bring an extra laptop, however, the table might not have enough room. [03:02] would a simple pen and paper ml sign up work? [03:02] I'm not a fan as it is not easy to read some of these things. [03:02] ml? [03:02] Mailing List. [03:03] philipballew: I haven't had a ton of luck getting many laptops at all for demos [03:03] so while you're "sure" - I'm not sure we'll even have enough for basic demos :) [03:04] I can bring a monitor, keyboard and mouse if someone has a small tower. [03:04] oh, hey, would an exoPC tablet help? I have one sitting around doing nothing. [03:04] 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] That would be kinda cool. [03:04] It's meego, but it runs ubuntu off a USB stick just fine (and maybe it's time to install it permanently). [03:05] show off the tablet running Ubuntu while they sign up. [03:05] And it takes less desk space than a traditional laptop. [03:06] pleia2, I can bring a unity laptop and a lubuntu laptop [03:06] ohhhh, lubuntu [03:07] its pretty cool. [03:07] 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] its really old hardware. people can be amazed that the big linux distro runs on old stuff as well [03:07] :D [03:08] can you guys add these to our wiki page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale10x [03:09] so far all we officially have is jdeslip bringing a netbook with ubuntu [03:12] Actually, scratch the keyboard. [03:12] It has Microsoft plastered all over it [03:24] pleia2, I might need my laptop when I speak at scale [03:25] is that a problem? unless they give you one. I wouldnt know [03:26] philipballew: I believe them have them available, but most speakers use their own. [03:27] 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] (not that you can be sure of that anyway -- darned computers, they always manage to glitch in some amusing way :) [03:28] true, i had my laptop give a kernal panic during an online test once. [03:29] I have live demos for my scale talk, involving hardware as well as software, so it should be ... interesting. [03:30] what talk are you giving akk [03:31] "Fun with Linux and Devices" -- about hardware and robotics, mostly Arduino [03:31] I'm not talking this year. [03:31] nice. That sounds like a fun one [03:32] That's the plan, anyway! Fingers crossed. [03:32] What's yours? [05:12] :D [05:18] nhaines: ping [05:43] Ah, looking better now: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/speakers/nathan/haines [05:43] Darkwing: pong [05:51] nhaines: I answered my own question. I'll make sure that the schedule gets updated with UbuCon speakers [05:51] I noticed that it was not updated [05:51] The data are incomplete. [05:52] Don't worry, I am driving my speakers with whips about this! [05:52] Is this up to date? http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/ubucon [05:53] Because this didn't have anything really on Ubucon. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/schedule [05:54] Hmm, the information on http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/ubucon should not be published because it is not finalized. [05:55] :) I forgot to send in my speaker request lol [05:55] I know how this time of year gets! [06:08] 'lo [06:12] nhaines: There is no more openings for speakers is there. :) [06:17] 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] Darkwing: Don't think so, but if you want to submit a standby talk, I'm all for contingency plans. [06:23] Email? [06:24] Rather, should I email? [06:24] Yes, check out http://ubucon.org/scale/scale10x/ [06:25] nhaines: so we less than 2 weeks away :) Why havent your speakers submitted their talks yet? :) [06:25] And do it tonight, because I very much hope to have the full site up tomorrow. [06:25] Gareth: because they are still sluggish from egg nog. :) [06:26] please have them submit in the next day or so. I want to get it finalized. [06:27] 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] Gareth: I think this month-early stuff came up a little faster than everyone thought. :) [06:27] I know it did for me. :) [06:28] And I've typped in the dates a couple hundred times lol [06:28] seriously, why are they lagging? [06:28] Apathy? [06:29] 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] :D [06:29] if its apathy then thats lame [06:29] I would tend to agree. [06:31] not trying to be a difficult here. Its tough corralling people. If I can help let me know. [06:32] I don't think it's apathy. I think a lot of planning got put on hold for the winter holidays. [06:33] 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] Nod. Like I said...if I can help let me know, I can be the bad guy if need be :) [06:35] I appreciate it. :) I'm definitely already anxious, but I won't be upset until Tuesday. Then I will be positively annoyed. :) [06:35] Okay. we'll wait until Tuesday then. [06:35] Thanks. I'll send another email tonight and then poke people Monday afternoon. [06:36] if those people are definitely speaking then I'm going to add filler sessions, just so the schedule is complete. [06:36] 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] won't include his name until he submits it. [06:37] nhaines: backup talk submitted. [06:37] It's on the Ubucon even page and it's wrong. :) [06:37] yeah. just saw that and fixed it. [06:37] Gareth: thanks. [06:38] 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] Maybe I'll hold it for that... Last time I did a talk on activities it went for an hour. :) [06:40] 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] I will. [06:45] 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] Gareth: yes, I have the last talk as starting at 4pm already. [06:50] I have 9, 10, 11:30, 1:30, 3, and 4. [06:51] okay cool. [06:53] schedules adjusted. [06:54] nhaines: thanks. [06:54] bbl [06:58] Gareth: thank you! === jbermudes_ is now known as jbermudes [08:58] Hmm, Ubuntu TV concept: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-unveiled-at-ces/ === izdubar is now known as MarkDude [14:22] hi [14:23] can someone help me to configure an intel chipset on ubuntu 11.10? [14:23] I find the opengl very slow === izdubar is now known as MarkDude [17:50] 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] 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] At least for my machines, lspci seldom gives any useful info on the graphics controller. [17:51] (Intel) [17:52] I have to pick through dmesg to find anything useful. [18:30] Good morning, everyone. [18:38] akk: first you identify the card, then you can figure out what arcane incantations are needed to get it to work. [18:45] anyone think they could do a "Basics to Ubuntu" session for User Days on Saturday? [18:46] basic explaining how to navigated Unity, install software [18:46] -d [18:47] grantbow, should make it [18:47] he has free transport, as well as his room paid for [18:47] Already arranged [18:57] MarkDude: yay! [19:10] pleia2: ping [19:12] Darkwing: pong [19:13] 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] Darkwing: I've already been talking to one of them on the Unity 2D side, I think it's good [19:14] I assume they are talking to you about Kubuntu? [19:14] Well, sorta. [19:15] I know most of them from the KDE side anyway but yes. [19:15] We all hung out at UDS :D [19:15] cool [19:15] Okay cool. [19:15] 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] Prolly isn't the same ppl have them email me anyway. :P [19:16] Knowing Qt... [19:16] It's like everything else. No one talks to anyone else. [19:16] Peter Mui [19:16] Yup same person [19:17] :D [19:17] That's a first. [19:17] But I like the idea of having a "Qt is used here" tag [19:18] Because it's not just for us in KDE land anymore. [19:20] * MarkDude advised friend to pick KDE [19:20] Yay! :) [19:20] turns out there was a bug ONLY to KDE for printer [19:20] NOTHING ELSE [19:20] no unity bug [19:20] No Gnome 3 bug [19:21] lxde, xfce bug? nope [19:21] KDE [19:21] * MarkDude waves his fist wildly, vaguely in direction of Europe [19:27] 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] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-unveiled-at-ces/ [19:52] Unity interface now makes sense [19:52] it would be effin' awesome on a tv [19:53] * bkerensa whacks MarkDude with a frozen Salmon [19:54] * MarkDude said truth [19:54] :) [19:58] ;p [20:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS-XrI6Uh3M [20:35] How racist is that? I saw it this holiday in Utah [20:36] 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] 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] 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] Studios never considered translating what they were saying :P [20:42] True [20:42] kemo sabe for example [20:43] 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] 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] Hmmm my ancestry reseacrh is turning into a crime documentary :) [21:01] pleia2: you want to do the Xubuntu LTS request for the tech board? :P [21:04] 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] NM Knome showed up. [21:06] yeah, he's project lead [21:07] is XPL making it to UDS? [21:07] * MarkDude is hoping all sorts of *PL folks make it
