| philipballew | ill be going dark on my blog | 00:42 |
| bkerensa | me too :) | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | got a script ready so at midnight its automatic | 00:43 |
| philipballew | i have a wordpress pluggin to do it. Im considering not using the internet for 24 hours as a protest as well | 00:43 |
| philipballew | still working on my scale speech, its currently at 23 minutes and im wanting 35 | 00:44 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, how does the sopa defeat affect the blackout? | 00:49 |
| bkerensa | I think we push on | 00:50 |
| bkerensa | just so that Congress knows that they do not have as much power as they think to go against the will of the masses | 00:50 |
| philipballew | Congress is out to always make more laws and its not the answer | 00:54 |
| philipballew | but i wonder if they always think they can make thngs better with laws. if they think they can block access to a website they dont understand how the internet works | 00:55 |
| philipballew | ever herd of a vpn congress | 00:55 |
| philipballew | Gareth, Am I required to have a media presentation for my speech? | 01:04 |
| philipballew | If so, Do I need to submit that to you guys or can i just bring my laptop with me. Id prefer that as i am more comfortable with Unity then anything else. | 01:05 |
| Gareth | philipballew: media presentation? | 01:10 |
| philipballew | power point Gareth ? | 01:10 |
| Gareth | philipballew: you can use your own laptop...we're going to have a green room setup, we just ask that all speakers test their laptops against the projector, make sure its working as expected :) | 01:11 |
| philipballew | alright, if my laptops not is there one I can use? or have someone help a noob like me? | 01:11 |
| Gareth | yes. there will be a laptop you can use. | 01:12 |
| Gareth | and there will be people to help getting it going if it doesnt work. | 01:12 |
| philipballew | sweet! this helps | 01:13 |

| pleia2 | doh, the Lessig talk is actually tomorrow | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | glad I looked at my calendar :) | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | conflicts with grantbow's talk though :( | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | the one time I actually remember to RSVP with balug... | 01:27 |
| Gareth | people will talk. | 01:34 |
| pleia2 | :) | 01:51 |
| Darkwing | grantbow: ping | 01:57 |
| Darkwing | AQre we ready for SCALE? | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | si | 02:36 |
| * Darkwing cheers | 02:37 | |
| Darkwing | I filled out the wiki with what I'm bringing. | 02:37 |
| pleia2 | thanks, I added a bunch of little things we needed too (tape, scissors, etc) | 02:37 |
| pleia2 | people had suggestions at our meeting last night too, so I added those | 02:37 |
| Darkwing | Okay cool. | 02:38 |
| Darkwing | Sorry, was under another deadline for this stuff yesterday so I ignored everything else yesterday | 02:38 |
| bkerensa | Hmm anyone see the article with Bruce Perens saying Canonical owns Ubuntu and will put business before Community. | 02:46 |
| bkerensa | not exactly a positive article for Ubuntu | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | it's Bruce Perens :) | 02:52 |
| akk | Lots of people have written stuff like that. | 02:53 |
| akk | They said the same about fedora back when it was the big distro. | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I don't pay much attention to it until it actually starts impacting my contributions, then I talk to canonical folks directly about it | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | for instance, the fact that ubuntu.com/news currently goes to canonical news, rather than fridge.ubuntu.com (someone will hear about that!) | 02:54 |
| akgraner | +1 :-) | 03:02 |
| bkerensa | +1 | 03:03 |
| bkerensa | Well I know for instance last summer we had a event we wanted a booth at at Canonical was sponsoring the event | 03:03 |
| bkerensa | and for whatever reason apparently our request to have a booth got inappropriately shotdown | 03:03 |
| bkerensa | after discussing it with people at Canonical further they said that how it was handled was inappropriate and that if Canonical is sponsoring an event they should always aim to have a LoCo be there to advocate for Ubuntu | 03:04 |
| pleia2 | they are quite reasonable when you talk to them, sometimes they do stupid stuff without realizing it | 03:05 |
| akgraner | normally they are really good about booths | 03:05 |
| bkerensa | I guess the issue is knowing who to talk to | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | I just talk to akgraner and she tells me who to talk to :) | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | (or dholbach, or jcastro) | 03:05 |
| akgraner | :-) | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | we actually discussed this some at UDS | 03:06 |
| akgraner | pleia2, you wanna run with the email to IT or do you want me to open an RT ticket? | 03:06 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: if you could do it that'd be great, I think I send them too many tickets for other things :) (ubuntu women, xubuntu..) | 03:06 |
| pleia2 | oh no, her again! | 03:06 |
| akgraner | hehe - ok I'll do that now | 03:07 |
| akgraner | and cc the editors :-) | 03:07 |
| bkerensa | Well we sent the proposal to Joshua Poulson who is a local Canonical employee he is a Manager for OEM stuff | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | there was the question of whether canonical could put some kind of contact directory online, but then we realized that core-people-wise it's not just canonical who you may want to contact within ubuntu, there are community members too, so it'll never be a comprehensive list | 03:07 |
| bkerensa | and he said he sent it up channel properly | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | our strategy of just going to people we know actually works out ok, if you approach the CC with anything we'll figure out who you need to talk to | 03:08 |
| bkerensa | but when I discussed it later with some other people at Canonical they were a bit shocked that PuppetLabs had to pay for us to go to a Canonical sponsored event | 03:08 |
| bkerensa | ahh ok :) | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | I would have brought that situation to the CC | 03:09 |
| akgraner | yeah I wouldn't attribute it to a conspiracy or anything :-) | 03:09 |
| pleia2 | we smack canonical upside the head sometimes :) | 03:09 |
| akgraner | pleia2, is the meanest though :-) | 03:09 |
| pleia2 | lol | 03:10 |
| akk | She can call in an x-wing airstrike! and wookies! | 03:10 |
| pleia2 | and ewoks | 03:11 |
| akgraner | be afraid be very afraid | 03:11 |
| akgraner | just sayin | 03:11 |
| * philipballew is scared | 03:11 | |
| bkerensa | tomorrow is going to be interesting | 03:13 |
| bkerensa | our application for approval is in | 03:14 |
| bkerensa | I have our Asst. Team Lead presenting to the LoCo Council | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | assistant to the regional manager | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | will you be there too? | 03:16 |
| bkerensa | lol | 03:17 |
| bkerensa | I will be there yes | 03:17 |
| bkerensa | But I hope to have little involvement :) kind of hoping he can handle the plate himself | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | great | 03:18 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:18 | |
| bkerensa | per your suggestion of getting others out there | 03:18 |
| pleia2 | just good to have multiple members at such meetings :) | 03:18 |
| akgraner | pleia2, RT ticket filed - I cc'd you as well as the editors. | 03:27 |
| pleia2 | thank yoU! | 03:28 |
| akgraner | you're welcome. I don't know how long it's been like that I never checked all the links on the template before | 03:29 |
| akgraner | I guess I figured it since john was ok with all of them then they were fine. | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | it used to go to fridge, that's why it was there (I checked it a while back when I was checking all the links, that's when I learned the RSS feed was still going to the old drupal site) | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | dropped the dead drupal rss feed, kept /news | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | so somewhere along the way someone changed it :\ | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | my poor kitty keeps trying to eat, but her mouth is sore from the tooth extraction today | 03:33 |
| bkerensa | :( I have a pet rat | 03:36 |
| bkerensa | I dont think he would like cats to much | 03:36 |
| akk | Rats are great pets. | 03:36 |
| akk | (and poor kitty, hope she feels better soon) | 03:36 |
| pleia2 | thanks akk | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | rats are great pets :) | 03:37 |
| bkerensa | yep | 03:38 |
| bkerensa | :D | 03:38 |
| bkerensa | he sleeps a lot | 03:38 |
| * akk wonders why I have to run /etc/cron.daily/mlocate by hand ... isn't the point of having it on cron.daily that it should run automatically? | 05:25 | |
| Gareth | nhaines: ping | 05:55 |
| nhaines | Gareth: pong | 06:01 |
| Gareth | nhaines: so I got ralf all squared away, any word from Jorge? | 06:02 |
