| MarkDude | dragon, pingy | 19:23 |
| dragon | MarkDude: pong! | 19:56 |
| Ttech | A real dragon? | 19:58 |
| dragon | Yes, very real. | 19:58 |
| Ttech | :o | 19:58 |
| Ttech | And it speaks, and does not bite! | 19:58 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Do you have lodging plans yet for CLS/OSCON? | 19:59 |
| bkerensa | I might be able to house you for a few days | 19:59 |
| MarkDude | dragon, pm | 20:06 |
| MarkDude | bkerensa, not yet | 20:06 |
| MarkDude | Can we throw a party there? | 20:06 |
| * MarkDude already has some sponsors | 20:06 | |
| MarkDude | Like we did year before last with Ryan MFing Singer | 20:07 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Idk if its low key I guess but if not the guy who owns GroundKontrol told me anytime Ubuntu Oregon needs the space just to call and let him know | 20:27 |
| bkerensa | I got plenty of places to throw parties | 20:27 |
| === Guest80204 is now known as DonkeyHotei | ||
| MarkDude | Right on | 20:52 |
| MarkDude | I will start planning OSCON stuff next | 20:52 |
| MarkDude | month | 20:52 |
| philipballew | UDS Sponsorships open | 21:24 |
| Ttech | mmm | 21:24 |
| philipballew | probably gonna apply this weekend | 21:25 |
| nhaines | I can tell I'm getting older. First of all, I had to take a nap at lunch. So that's new in the past couple of years. | 22:07 |
| nhaines | Then, my brain said "Enter S3 suspend mode." My arm said "Entering S4 hibernate mode!" and now my back is saying "bad sectors found." | 22:07 |
| akk | heh, nhaines | 22:48 |
| akk | I'm not sure that's a sign of getting older as much as getting geekier :) | 22:48 |
| nhaines | :) | 22:49 |
| pleia2 | naps++ | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | heh | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | :( | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | I find needing naps more often but then again I also stay up till 2am/3am most days | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | :P | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: Hello :D | 23:05 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, how goes it | 23:06 |
| philipballew | i am about to out out a blog post on scale tonight/tomorrow morning | 23:06 |
| bkerensa | yeah cool | 23:07 |
| * bkerensa has to start packing tonight | 23:07 | |
| philipballew | bkerensa, where you goin? | 23:07 |
| bkerensa | then pack all day tomorrow and hopefully sunday by 11am I should have a fleet of trucks and vehicles here :) | 23:07 |
| bkerensa | Moving across town | 23:08 |
| bkerensa | :P | 23:08 |
| bkerensa | Portland is big though so its essentially like moving from San Francisco to say South San Francisco | 23:08 |
| philipballew | id help if i could. ill be in portland come july for like 9 days probably | 23:09 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:09 |
| bkerensa | Do it | 23:09 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:09 |
| bkerensa | jcastro from Canonical will be here for OSCON I just found out | 23:09 |
| bkerensa | and MarkDude will be coming | 23:10 |
| philipballew | i just need to find a way to stay up there on the cheep. i think i have an uncle who lives there. i went to lunch with jcastro last weekend | 23:10 |
| nhaines | Jorge is pretty awesome. | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | I have not met him | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:10 |
| nhaines | I've met him twice, and he was awesome in 2008 too. :) | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | I met Jono last year though and he is pretty cool but a very busy guy | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:10 |
| nhaines | Jono's also very cool, but probably too busy for his own good. | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | He never had time to breath someone was constantly wanting to talk to him or interview him the entire convention | 23:11 |
| philipballew | true, he needs to take a few weeks off | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | months | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:12 |
| philipballew | he finished unity damage controll so thats nice now though | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: You should try to be here for CLS I'm telling you its better than OSCON or any convention in my opinion | 23:12 |
| philipballew | i will. I just need to figure out how to live in portland for that long | 23:13 |
| philipballew | it makes the 4 day osscon into like 8 days | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | hmm | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | I will see what I can figure out | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | surely someone from Ubuntu Oregon can house you if I can't | 23:14 |
| philipballew | If someone from organ can I would be indebted | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | I will send a e-mail to our list in June and ask who would be willing to let travelers couch surf | 23:15 |
| bkerensa | I saw two people sleep at the convention center last year | 23:16 |
| bkerensa | =o | 23:16 |
| bkerensa | they just slept behind their booth | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | hah | 23:16 |
| philipballew | Thats what I was gonna do at scale untill scale saw that and threw me in a hotel room. | 23:17 |
| bkerensa | I don't think it was preference though because those floors are cement with thin carpet | 23:17 |
| philipballew | I can do that for you and keep the convention floor safe | 23:17 |
| bkerensa | lol | 23:17 |
| philipballew | at 19 i am pretty adaptable | 23:17 |
| philipballew | 20 soon | 23:18 |
| nhaines | Ha, that's why you need to bring a mat. | 23:18 |
| bkerensa | :P philipballew who put you in a hotel? Gareth? | 23:18 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:18 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, still unsure. I got an email from someone saying i got one with dave and I thought it was a really cool thing! | 23:19 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 23:19 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:19 |
| Ttech | i wish I could go to oscon | 23:19 |
| bkerensa | you guys should all carpool | 23:21 |
| bkerensa | make MarkDude bring you | 23:21 |
| bkerensa | :P | 23:21 |
| Ttech | We could. :P | 23:21 |
| bkerensa | he already does a carpool up | 23:21 |
| Ttech | But I have no place to stay! | 23:21 |
| philipballew | ill be in sac at that time | 23:21 |
| Ttech | oh | 23:21 |
| bkerensa | but its Fedora people so they will bash Ubuntu :P | 23:21 |
| philipballew | sleep in the car | 23:21 |
| Ttech | no carpool then. | 23:21 |
| Ttech | bkerensa, I play nice with fedora people. :P | 23:22 |
| * philipballew cant :) | 23:22 | |
| Ttech | haha | 23:22 |
| Ttech | philipballew, so you will be driving up from northern? | 23:22 |
| Ttech | Its going to be a very loong drive otherwise | 23:22 |
| akk | Long drive either way. | 23:23 |
| akk | But less long from sac. | 23:23 |
| bkerensa | I see it this way... I think you should all carpool | 23:23 |
| bkerensa | and rent a suite at the Crowne Plaza | 23:24 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:24 |
| bkerensa | $220 a night and you can easily fit 6+ people | 23:24 |
| Ttech | bkerensa, Where abouts are you? | 23:24 |
| philipballew | Ttech, maybe, or finding a creigslist rideshare. you can crash at my place for a few days untill we head up via cheep ride if youd like | 23:24 |
| Ttech | philipballew, :o | 23:25 |
| pleia2 | ticket price for the event itself has tended to be quite the deterrent for me, even with something like a 20% LUG discount (the company I work for doesn't pay for me to go) | 23:25 |
| bkerensa | Ttech: I'm in Portland | 23:25 |
| Ttech | Ah | 23:25 |
| Ttech | bkerensa, MUCH closer. | 23:25 |
| pleia2 | plus travel, hotel... too much :\ | 23:25 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: We get free passes? | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: who is "we"? | 23:26 |
| akk | The actual OSCON conference (the talks) is crazy expensive. | 23:26 |
| bkerensa | Obviously not unlimited but surely enough to handle a few californians | 23:26 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Ubuntu Oregon | 23:26 |
| bkerensa | all dot org booths get free passes | 23:26 |
| Ttech | philipballew, I've never done a craiglist rideshare. | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: are you asking? I don't know | 23:26 |
| Ttech | it sounds like hitchhiking for the digital world | 23:26 |
| philipballew | its usually pretty good | 23:26 |
| Ttech | philipballew, neat! | 23:27 |
| bkerensa | and for talks and sessions they give us a stack of golden passes that accompany our exhibitor passes | 23:27 |
| bkerensa | no no I'm saying this is what they do | 23:27 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:27 |
| pleia2 | oh ok, your question mark confused me :) | 23:27 |
| Ttech | bkerensa, oh. thats neat. So everyone gets free entry? | 23:27 |
| bkerensa | valorie and one other WA loco person came down plus we had 5+ people | 23:27 |
| Ttech | to stuff? | 23:27 |
| bkerensa | so they comp'ed 7 people just for Ubuntu Oregon | 23:28 |
| bkerensa | Ttech: That was the case last year | 23:28 |
| Ttech | bkerensa, Nice. | 23:28 |
| bkerensa | I know all the people who handle each function so I don't think the situation is going to be to different if at all this year | 23:28 |
| bkerensa | For me I don't much care about being in all the talks because running the booth has me busy and plus you can watch all the talks and sessions online | 23:30 |
| nhaines | pleia2: indicator of confusion causes confusion? :) | 23:30 |
| akk | bkerensa: You can? Two years ago OSCON didn't record most talks -- did they last year? | 23:31 |
| bkerensa | yeah most of the big ones | 23:31 |
| bkerensa | all the keynotes | 23:31 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: truth | 23:31 |
| bkerensa | eck | 23:31 |
| bkerensa | all the main speakers | 23:32 |
| bkerensa | then they had streaming too | 23:32 |
| bkerensa | the problem is accessing the net from the convention center | 23:32 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:32 |
| bkerensa | its rather impossible at most times | 23:32 |
| pleia2 | I bring a 3G modem these days | 23:32 |
| bkerensa | cell tower also was taking a beating | 23:33 |
| bkerensa | well at least for AT&T | 23:33 |
| bkerensa | :( | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | Sprint++ | 23:33 |
| bkerensa | I had solid signal but my service was horrible :P | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | I can also tether through my phone, so if Sprint is fail I have t-mobile | 23:33 |
| bkerensa | heh | 23:33 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | when I was at NANOG in philly they actually took over the whole hotel network throughout the building, it was awesome | 23:34 |
| pleia2 | apparently a guy knew a guy | 23:34 |
| bkerensa | well this year I hope to ask Linbit to let us use their dedicated internet port they pay for and just hook up a router and have a hotspot | 23:34 |
| bkerensa | I think the big problem I have to deal with is | 23:34 |
| bkerensa | power | 23:34 |
| bkerensa | :( | 23:34 |
| bkerensa | O'Reilly only covers a booth with cover so we have to pay for power and chairs and boy are they expensive | 23:35 |
| bkerensa | Power is $200 | 23:35 |
| bkerensa | and chairs are $75 to $150 a pop | 23:35 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: bring an exercise bike hooked to a generator. | 23:36 |
| bkerensa | Last year I ended up asking someone to sponsor our power cost and they did and as for chairs we snuck some in | 23:36 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: :P | 23:36 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: then when visitors to the booth ask how they can contribute to the project, just point at the bike. :P | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | lol | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | we usually just end up using chairs to pile stuff on ;) so I wouldn't see lack of chairs as a problem so much | 23:38 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: You guys stand all day? | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | jcastro came by our booth and helped for a bit, we were all like "aah, tired of standing" and he took the opportunity to tell us about his standing desk | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: yeah, we pretty much talk to people non-stop at the booth, no time to sit | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | (at least at SCALE) | 23:39 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I've always just spent the entire time at the booth standing. | 23:40 |
| bkerensa | Last year we had a demo laptop so people could check out Unity | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | http://www.flickr.com/photos/8659143@N08/6737910193/ | 23:41 |
| bkerensa | and we just sort of sat and if people came by we would ask if they had questions and would like a CD or brochure etc | 23:41 |
| nhaines | Friends came by just as the SCALE Tour came up and asked if someone could give a 2 minute rundown of our project and I volunteered. They were impressed by the speech. | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | ^ chairs, not being sat in :) | 23:41 |
| bkerensa | http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntuoregon/6602053303/in/photostream <-- chairs being sat in with giant penguin attacking | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | :P | 23:42 |
| pleia2 | but we really get no down time at scale, it slows down after breaks but it never really stops | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | huh | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | we have downtime once a day when they bring beer onto the floor | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:42 |
| pleia2 | they couldn't get the keg open | 23:42 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | then everyone goes to booths that have beer | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | and we dont so they leave :D | 23:42 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I actually saw the photographer pull out the camera in my periphrial vision and smiled for the picture without taking my eyes off the person I was talking to. | 23:43 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: haha, nice | 23:43 |
| pleia2 | I still need to blog about scale, in which I give Jesse 50 gold stars | 23:44 |
| bkerensa | I try to spend 60% of the time at the booth and the rest of the time spent talking with other exhibitors and trying to find sponsors for events throughout the year | 23:44 |
| pleia2 | he's always an exceptional booth volunteer :) | 23:44 |
| nhaines | jbermudes has been consistantly awesome over the last 5 years. :) | 23:45 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Heh http://pnw.ubuntu-us.org/ | 23:48 |
| pleia2 | hah, what is pnw? | 23:50 |
| bkerensa | heh :) | 23:50 |
| bkerensa | the reason MarkDude thinks Oregon keeps getting denied approval :P | 23:50 |
| bkerensa | PNW was Oregon/WA/Idaho | 23:50 |
| pleia2 | ah | 23:50 |
| pleia2 | he's full of conspiracy theories :) | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | indeed | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | he wanted to make a scene on our behalf and I asked kindly not too :P | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | idk PNW is really old it was disbanded by CC a long time ago | 23:51 |
| nhaines | I thought Oregon was denied last time because it contained no one from Oregon. | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | nah | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | Dan Shufelt was the last lead to apply | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | and he was from Portland too | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: I don't think the loco council even knows about PNW | 23:52 |
| Ttech | top secret? | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | and thanks for talking him down :) | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Paultag does the new council likely not | 23:52 |
| * bkerensa barely knows about PNW :) | 23:52 | |
| bkerensa | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-pnw/2010-November/000261.html <-- we still use its resources though | 23:53 |
| pleia2 | the last attempt at approval did prompt a review of the documented approval requirements though, so that's good | 23:54 |
| pleia2 | my 3DS is home :) | 23:54 |
| nhaines | pleia2: :D | 23:54 |
| pleia2 | it even turns on! | 23:54 |
| * pleia2 goes to put it on charger | 23:55 | |
| bkerensa | pleia2: is the 3DS better then the regular DS? | 23:55 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: vastly better. | 23:55 |
| bkerensa | hmm | 23:55 |
| pleia2 | it's full of internets | 23:56 |
| bkerensa | I was a big fan of the older gameboys and I got a Nintendo DS a year or two ago and was not too thrilled but maybe its just the games | 23:56 |
| bkerensa | I used to love the old zelda on gameboy | 23:56 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:56 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: you can buy that for 3DS Virtual Console for like $5.99 I think. | 23:56 |
| bkerensa | oh | 23:56 |
| nhaines | And since I couldn't justify the DX version when I got my GBC, I did! :D | 23:57 |
| nhaines | Also, Super Mario 3D Land is super fun. | 23:58 |
