| bkerensa | :D | 01:48 |
| bkerensa | Leslie is one of them | 01:49 |
| bkerensa | :D | 01:49 |
| MarkDude | akk, yep, she is cool person to see in Portland/conferences | 01:49 |
| bkerensa | I think my fav person in FOSS in Oregon is slangasek though... He is gifted in development | 01:49 |
| MarkDude | One year she had a card that said geek-at-large | 01:51 |
| akk | That's perfect -- she's everywhere. | 01:51 |
| akk | I think I actually met her first in Australia. | 01:51 |
| * MarkDude tried to get that to be his title at Zareason | 01:51 | |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: So I talked to GroundKontrol they are good with us taking over for any events I just need to give them a week notice and they will let us use the place | 01:52 |
| bkerensa | Hmm Heroku employees have pretty awesome business cards | 01:52 |
| bkerensa | akk: She is globe trotter.... I think everytime I have pinged her last year she was out of country..... And some how she juggles so many hats... Very impressive | 01:53 |
| MarkDude | Ground Kontrol is waaaaaay cool place | 01:53 |
| MarkDude | See if Dual Core is coming out- they could be live there | 01:54 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I know I might go there tonight.... OSU OSL folks are currently in route on the Linux Bus for Ubuntu Hour and I told them go to GK and now they want me to go to that too but its mighty windy up here atm so I might just do dinner (Hour) and head home | 01:55 |
| MarkDude | but | 01:55 |
| MarkDude | OSU lab folks are hella fun | 01:55 |
| MarkDude | Throw down some money on retro games | 01:56 |
| bkerensa | We shall see... If our asst team lead makes it then I might talk him into driving me there otherwise I will probably stay out in NE | 01:56 |
| bkerensa | :D | 01:56 |
| bkerensa | I like that GK has some pretty wacky food items | 01:57 |
| grantbow | gk needs a website update though. Nothing in 2011? | 01:57 |
| MarkDude | Well for eating - I like going to backspace | 01:57 |
| MarkDude | and getting hotlips soda, and some Hippie food | 01:58 |
| MarkDude | BS has good live music, fun to be on computer and have concert | 01:58 |
| bkerensa | grantbow: http://groundkontrol.com/ | 01:58 |
| grantbow | ah, different gk | 01:59 |
| MarkDude | Parenthetical Girls and StarF*cker were good shows there | 01:59 |
| MarkDude | Oh, and a group called the Bowmans | 01:59 |
| MarkDude | Kid you not... | 01:59 |
| bkerensa | :D | 01:59 |
| grantbow | lol | 02:00 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: When u come up again in the Spring... Me, You and Chris should hit up The Alibi over by the Rose Garden | 02:00 |
| bkerensa | Chris is coming I hope? | 02:00 |
| MarkDude | http://thebowmansmusic.com/ | 02:00 |
| MarkDude | Most likely | 02:01 |
| MarkDude | Maybe Courtney also | 02:01 |
| bkerensa | I dont know who that is | 02:02 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:02 |
| grantbow | you will :D | 02:02 |
| MarkDude | Oh yes, | 02:02 |
| * MarkDude assumes everyone knows her | 02:02 | |
| bkerensa | I will probably spend far less time at OSCON this year :P | 02:03 |
| bkerensa | especially since I live really close to convention center now and can go home and nap | 02:03 |
| MarkDude | Dude, OSCON is good for talking to people in hallways | 02:03 |
| MarkDude | forget most sessions | 02:03 |
| bkerensa | sessions were extremely boring | 02:03 |
| bkerensa | except for the one that Jono and the Perl guy did | 02:04 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:04 |
| bkerensa | The guy that was singing about libraries | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | Well Bryan Smith had a good session on micro computers | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | You mean Randall Shwartz? | 02:04 |
| bkerensa | Uhh idk the guy with the floppy balloon hat | 02:05 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:05 |
| grantbow | I hope there will be at least one session on http://www.raspberrypi.org/ | 02:05 |
| bkerensa | grantbow: Are you coming up? | 02:05 |
| * MarkDude plans on taking grantbow and throwing him in trunk if he has no plans on going | 02:06 | |
| MarkDude | Here ya go G, it Portland | 02:06 |
| grantbow | not sure yet | 02:06 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Philipballew is coming... You guys could all pull your resources and make a cheap trip out of it | 02:06 |
| MarkDude | Well funding can be arranged Sir, hit me up | 02:06 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I'm still waiting for a response from Jon or Marsee on dot com booths | 02:07 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:07 |
| * MarkDude has car paid for as well as a few rooms | 02:07 | |
| MarkDude | might rent a house for the week. Ryan Singer did that 2 years ago | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | Hmmm, maybe you can help look at a house | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | With a car already going- it will make it much cheaper | 02:09 |
| MarkDude | If we can get house- even cheaper | 02:09 |
| * MarkDude plans on being there at least 2 weeks | 02:10 | |
| MarkDude | so return may have to different | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | In which case, if grantbow has to be back at different time | 02:10 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Airbnb sometimes has awesome prices up here | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | another car could be rented | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | CLS also | 02:11 |
| bkerensa | I need to find a place to buy some decent gloves.. My hands keep getting cold but I dont like those knit gloves :9 | 02:11 |
| * MarkDude has his pair of gloves | 02:11 | |
| MarkDude | sitting | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | wore them in Virginia | 02:11 |
| akk | Better hurry -- stores will be stopping selling gloves soon, if they haven't already. | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | and not since ;P | 02:11 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Yes CLS.... I'm going to hold a session on Kickstarting Local Engagement in FOSS | 02:11 |
| akk | They're probably starting to stock up on swimsuits by now. | 02:12 |
| MarkDude | lol akk | 02:12 |
| bkerensa | akk: Well I dont know where to start... I went to Fred Meyer and they didnt have any except those cheap kind the knit ones which seem to thick and hard to grab and do stuff with | 02:12 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:12 |
| bkerensa | Maybe swing out to Walmart this weekend | 02:12 |
| * MarkDude palns on picking some controversial topic, and see how many show up for the trainwreeck | 02:12 | |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Ugh who was that OpenOffice guy? I swear he was going to start a riot in his session | 02:13 |
| bkerensa | he kept snapping at everyone | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | lol | 02:13 |
| akk | bkerensa: Department stores sell isotoner and similar sorts of gloves -- that's what I use for things like driving or cold weather biking. | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | He who must not be named | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | I talked with someone else in that session | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | She almsot kiled him | 02:14 |
| bkerensa | I walked out | 02:14 |
| bkerensa | and everyone was like giving eachother this look of.... Is this guy serious? | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | It was like- um, dude, people are followijng the rules dont freak out | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | He is really smart guy | 02:14 |
| bkerensa | People would ask something or say something and he would be like... NO | 02:14 |
| akk | You realize that anyone here who wasn't at that session is completely confused, reading this. | 02:14 |
| bkerensa | yeah no doubt but he seemed very rough | 02:15 |
| MarkDude | Just a bit towards aspbergers (sp?) | 02:15 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Louis Suarez-Potts | 02:15 |
| MarkDude | akk well once it started with this dude was a d bag... | 02:15 |
| bkerensa | Thats him ^ | 02:15 |
| MarkDude | naming names would be | 02:15 |
| MarkDude | well | 02:15 |
| * MarkDude knows | 02:15 | |
| akk | Mostly curious about what he did. | 02:16 |
| MarkDude | So he kept telling folks to calm down | 02:16 |
| bkerensa | I'm not saying anything that was not said in front of him... He is not a bad person he was just being rough | 02:16 |
| MarkDude | and they were not waiting to talk | 02:16 |
| MarkDude | and they were following rules | 02:16 |
| bkerensa | Yeah people would talk or share an opinion and he would just abruptly cut them off or tell them NO or your wrong etc | 02:16 |
| akk | lovely | 02:17 |
| bkerensa | at the end people started walking out on him and one lady called him out | 02:17 |
| * MarkDude had Oracle and MS and all sorts of evil compinies in his session | 02:17 | |
| bkerensa | I walked out | 02:17 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:17 |
| MarkDude | but made sure no one was bashing | 02:17 |
| MarkDude | or jumping | 02:17 |
| MarkDude | He is a great writer | 02:17 |
| MarkDude | He sorta acts like Prof | 02:18 |
| bkerensa | akk: He was holding a session on forking... and since he is with OpenOffice I guess perhaps he was disappointed about people forking projects hence LibreOffice | 02:18 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:18 |
| akk | Does openoffice still exist? I thought the project basically changed into libreoffice. | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | yeah, apache adopted it | 02:18 |
| akk | So there are both now? | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it's very odd | 02:18 |
| MarkDude | yay for forking | 02:19 |
| MarkDude | and wasting time | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | it wasn't a waste of time, oracle was being truly awful | 02:19 |
| akk | Hmm, I should try openoffice, then. I'm mega-annoyed at libreoffice for taking away the ability to bind Delete to a key. | 02:19 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I wish they didnt have mysql | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | :P | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: yeah, but mysql has always been an odd duck | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | but at least MySQL's Community Manager is a really amazing guy who can joke about how evil his employer is | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | publicly | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | :D | 02:20 |
| bkerensa | True | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | I can't imagine he'd be able to tolerate his job if he couldn't be open about it, his employer /is/ evil ;) | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | I don't tend to hate companies or corporations (I work for one), but oracle is meaniehead | 02:21 |
| MarkDude | rofl | 02:21 |
| MarkDude | true | 02:21 |
| bkerensa | Corporations can be good.... Some can be bad | 02:22 |
| akk | Strangely, they actually had some good linux work going on a while back (5+ years ago). | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, and they were one of the earlier big names to get their flagship product running on approved linux systems | 02:22 |
| akk | All the major companies seem to do this oscillation thing with open source, though, where they pledge undying love for linux then 2 months later, act like they've never heard of it. | 02:22 |
| bkerensa | lol | 02:23 |
| akk | (Sun, HP, Dell, AMD ... IBM and Intel less so) | 02:23 |
| akk | I had a boyfriend like that once. Don't recommend it. :) | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 02:23 |
| bkerensa | Google has been very supportive of the Linux Community IMHO | 02:23 |
| akk | Yeah, Google is a lot more consistent. Though not entirely good (like withholding Android source). | 02:24 |
| akk | But a lot less flaky than the others. | 02:24 |
| bkerensa | Companies like PuppetLabs for instance will bend over backwards for FOSS... | 02:24 |
| bkerensa | They have sponsored almost every event we have had and had their employees work on weekends to accommodate us | 02:24 |
| MarkDude | Well - some companies would be tooooo stresful to work for | 02:25 |
| bkerensa | No doubt | 02:25 |
| MarkDude | I mean MS is evil- I have heard its pretty decent in some sections | 02:25 |
| MarkDude | Oracle - not so much | 02:26 |
| MarkDude | i heard the bosses have tasers and whips | 02:26 |
| akk | heh | 02:26 |
| akk | plus you have to take turns cleaning the deck of Larry's boat with a toothbrush. | 02:26 |
| bkerensa | I heard that Larry asked the City of San Francisco to tear down the docks by Fishermans Wharf for his boat racing thing | 02:27 |
| bkerensa | is that true? | 02:27 |
| akk | I think that might be an exaggeration, but I think they are doing some remodeling for America's Cup spectators. | 02:28 |
| bkerensa | Huh | 02:29 |
| bkerensa | well I gotta run literally to make it | 02:30 |
| bkerensa | bye | 02:30 |
| MarkDude | yes bkerensa | 02:31 |
| MarkDude | He asked for all sorts of extra things | 02:31 |
| MarkDude | And got them | 02:31 |
| MarkDude | At Oakland A's game- at Coliseum- nright next to Oracle arena | 02:32 |
| MarkDude | Biggest cheer I have seen in a hile- was people liking Oracle boat over turning in race | 02:33 |
| MarkDude | Slow motion on big screen | 02:33 |
