[01:11] <tgm4883> kees, are you canonical?
[02:36] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Not anymore :)
[02:36] <bkerensa> He works on awesomeness :P
[02:36] <tgm4883> ah
[02:37] <bkerensa> Well I'm all moved into my new place :D Internet is working (Most important thing right?)
[02:37] <bkerensa> tgm4883: http://outflux.net/prof/resume.php
[02:38] <tgm4883> nice
[02:39] <bkerensa> tgm4883: But it would seem this channels Canonical numbers are increasing
[02:39] <bkerensa> :D
[02:39] <tgm4883> bkerensa, ah
[02:39]  * tgm4883 has a phone interview with canonical tomorrow
[02:39] <bkerensa> cweber10: Ping me and let me know what times and days will work best for checkins and mentoring for you
[02:39] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Dont tell me QA?
[02:39] <bkerensa> :D
[02:40] <tgm4883> nope, support
[02:40] <tgm4883> for launchpad it seems
[02:40] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Thats much better in my book :P
[02:40] <bkerensa> oh cool :)
[02:40] <bkerensa> Canonical needs more people on the LP team
[02:41] <tgm4883> I've also got an offer from the local community college, I need to find out what types of things canonical offers
[02:41] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Knock em dead.
[02:41] <tgm4883> I'll try :)
[02:41] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Well obviously I dont work for Canonical but I have heard of some of the stuff they offer
[02:41] <bkerensa> but I hear it differ per candidate
[02:41] <bkerensa> :D
[02:42] <tgm4883> all I've heard is competitive pay based on where you live
[02:42] <tgm4883> which doesn't say alot
[02:43] <bkerensa> tgm4883: might wanna ask albrigha (I'm not sure how much they can talk about their packages) he is a new hire but has been with the loco for a long time
[02:43] <bkerensa> D:
[02:44] <bkerensa> also
[02:44] <bkerensa> http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/nm0n0/working_for_canonical/
[02:44] <tgm4883> yea I've seen that thread
[02:46] <bkerensa> imho the biggest perk is you can work from home for most positions.... You get paid comparable (so I hear) the average for the position in the sector and you get to travel for sprints, uds.... I'm unsure about 401k, health etc in fact I would bet because they are international that they might just compensate you higher so you can seek those things on your own but thats a best guess :)
[02:47] <tgm4883> yea that was my guess as well
[02:47] <bkerensa> I mean it would be too complicated for them to establish HMO's and benefits in all the countries they have employees
[02:48] <bkerensa> I hear you get free premium U1 :P
[02:48] <tgm4883> bkerensa, I've heard you get free landscape
[02:49] <bkerensa> yeah
[02:49] <bkerensa> I hear its free services across the board plus you can pretty much request Ubuntu swag on demand to a level of reasonableness
[02:50] <tgm4883> I require a Ubuntu Jet!
[02:50] <bkerensa> heh
[02:50] <bkerensa> I think the company only has a Shuttle
[02:50] <bkerensa> :P
[04:28] <blkperl> bkerensa: want to come advertise ubuntu oregon at psu?
[08:36] <TRAVISg> I added myself to the Wiki and then did a little housekeeping just went by the note to have everyone in order of city by number of members and then alphabet let me know if I was out of whack I have never changed a Wiki before
[15:15] <bkerensa> blkperl: In what way and when? :)
[15:15] <bkerensa> Does it require a talk? :P
[15:31] <TRAVISg> I don't know if it requires a talk?
[15:32] <TRAVISg> I just read the note about grouping by city and then alphabetically ........ wait a second I just realized that was about PSU
[15:33] <TRAVISg> By the way if anyone wanted to brief me I would love to go with some one else to PSU or something like that
[15:33] <TRAVISg> I love meeting people and speaking
[15:37] <bkerensa> TRAVISg: I'm sure it looks fine and we are still planning a major wiki transformation that will result in that roster being moved to its own page
[15:46] <bkerensa> jhmextern: Hello :)
[15:46] <jhmextern> hello bkerensa
[15:50] <bkerensa> jhmextern: How are things going?
[15:51] <jhmextern> We have a group of five people here in the coast, and we are looking for a place where we can do maybe a monthly meeting.
[15:52] <jhmextern> We were thinking another event like an install fest, but we are still in the planing stage
[15:53] <bkerensa> jhmextern: Oh excellent. In Newport right? Please do send some photos if you guys have a meetup and let the mailing list know so others might join in
[15:54] <jhmextern> Yes, in Newport, as soon as we have an event or meetup  we will send some pictures
[15:56] <bkerensa> excellent :)
[17:43] <xxx> anbody here?
[17:43] <Guest24463> This is TRAVISg
[18:36] <bkerensa> Hi TRAVISg :)
[21:19] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Did you do your call yet?
[21:19] <tgm4883> yea
[21:20] <tgm4883> Didn't go so well :/
[21:21] <bkerensa> tgm4883: I was going to mention that Canonical uhh has turned down a few really talented local folks
[21:22] <tgm4883> mrevell was pretty cool about it, sent me an email about 30 minutes after the call saying that he would have left my application open but since I already had another job offer locally he didn't want to leave me hanging
[21:22] <bkerensa> ahh Matt Revell interviewed you? :)
[21:22] <tgm4883> yea
[21:23] <bkerensa> hmm :(
[21:23] <bkerensa> yeah he is product manager for Launchpad
[21:23] <bkerensa> :D
[21:23] <tgm4883> Apparently there were more qualified candidates, although I'm ADV team working support for Symantec, so IDK
[21:23] <bkerensa> heh
[21:23] <tgm4883> There aren't many people above me in our support organization
[21:24] <bkerensa> They turned down someone I know who is Senior Sysadmin for a major company here in Portland with a very similiar excuse
[21:24] <bkerensa> :D
[21:25] <tgm4883> yep, oh well. Guess that just makes my decision up for me
[21:25] <bkerensa> Mind you he was applying fr a regular sysadmin job and just saw working from home as a perk to taking a small pay decrease and yet they turned him down
[21:25] <bkerensa> :D
[21:26] <bkerensa> tgm4883: I think the foot in seems to be getting recommended by someone who is already work there
[21:26] <sbeattie> bkerensa: sometimes. sometimes not, it all depends on who's doing the hiring.
[21:27] <bkerensa> lol :P
[21:27] <bkerensa> :D
[21:28] <bkerensa> sbeattie: Well I know Canonical has some outstanding people working for them
[21:28] <bkerensa> :)
[21:28] <sbeattie> bkerensa: yeah, but it also has people like me working for them, too. :-)
[21:29] <bkerensa> sbeattie: You don't consider yourself outstanding :P
[21:29]  * bkerensa pings sabdfl :P
[21:30] <bkerensa> idk from the people I have met so far and some I have know over IRC for awhile I like the diversity and skill level
[21:32] <bkerensa> tgm4883: I'm not sure why you want to leave Symantec except for maybe that they are outside of Portland right?
[21:55] <tgm4883> bkerensa, I'm driving to Springfield from Salem every day
[21:55] <tgm4883> :/
[21:59] <bkerensa> Wow
[21:59] <bkerensa> :D
[21:59] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Now I understand... Thats intense
[22:00] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Doesn't Symantec have a location up here in Portland? I think one of the ORLUG guys works at it
[22:51] <tgm4883> bkerensa, we bought some cloud company up there
[22:51] <tgm4883> and we have sales in beaverton
[22:51] <bkerensa> hmm
[22:52] <bkerensa> tgm4883: Consider maybe trying to switch to the cloud division? :) I'm sure you're capable of sysadming right? :P
[22:52] <bkerensa> PuppetLabs is hiring too :D
[22:55] <tgm4883> most things I've looked at require some enterprise level experience
[22:55] <tgm4883> which I'll get at my new job
[22:57] <bkerensa> hmm yeah
[23:49] <TRAVISg> Whats up y'all?
[23:51] <TRAVISg> bkerensa what do you use for sound file converstion?
[23:52] <TRAVISg> Hey every body I need something to convert wav to MP3 any suggestions?
[23:53] <albrigha> http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3360
[23:53] <bkerensa> hmm of course
[23:54] <bkerensa> TRAVISf: sudo apt-get install soundconverter
[23:54] <bkerensa> :)
[23:54] <bkerensa> then see your sound applications section or on Unity search for Sound :)
[23:55] <TRAVISg> That's what my early research pointed to thanks for the confirmation
[23:55] <TRAVISg> I haven't been running unity been running gnome classic
[23:55] <TRAVISg> I like the menu layout
[23:56] <TRAVISg> and use synaptic still I like it better than the software center
[23:57] <bkerensa> TRAVISg: Classic on which release of Ubuntu?
[23:58] <TRAVISg> 11.10 Oneric not sure if it is called classic but I think it is I had to install it
[23:58] <TRAVISg> seperatly
[23:58] <bkerensa> oh you mean gnome-fallback-session?
[23:59] <TRAVISg> Yeah I think
[23:59] <bkerensa> TRAVISg: Does it look like this: http://i.imgur.com/SUDeA.png
