broderi thought the jam was usually in berkeley somewhere and the release party was at thirsty bear00:00
greg-gyeah, I assume for the jams you actually get some stuff done, thus, thirsty bear isn't the primary place, but the fun after party00:02
broderhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/NattyGlobalJam00:03
greg-ghuh, you had it at a restuarant00:03
MarkDudeOh yes, jams are for workin'00:03
greg-gMichigan did ours at a co-working type place we could take over00:03
MarkDudeRelease party is about beer00:04
greg-g(not really a co-working place, but a company that has that kind of a feel)00:04
pleia2greg-g: we've done several at berkeleylug, which meets at a pizzeria with wifi00:09
pleia2the noisebridge hackerspace is also an option (we did the lucid installfest there)00:09
pleia2I'm sure someone better connected could get us into one of the 54545435 startups in SOMA on a weekend, but that's not me :)00:10
broderhmm...you make a compelling point00:12
broderi can ask around00:12

bkerensaI remember when Monkeybrains opened as a ISP in SF.... I thought Rudy and Co were crazy for walking away from their Dot Com jobs00:22
bkerensa:D00:22
pleia2jledbetter: sometimes jono will host one in the east bay, Walnut Creek00:22
jledbetterpleia2: Ah, gotcha.00:23

philipballewpleia2, good luck tonight. I will be there next month though.00:44

philipballewI know its hard to get them set up and you hope you can have them work out. So luck is always needed00:45
pleia2doing them with debian dinners always helps with attendance00:46
philipballewThats a plus. the debian users in so cal are pretty boring and never do anything00:52
pleia2you have to lure them out with chinese food00:52
pleia2they are naturally shy creatures, and easily spooked00:53
bkerensagreg-g: The Monkeys have responded - "We've moved out of the SOMA space for now and are in a much smaller office. . We might be able to fit a couple people between boxes though... Honestly, we've got a 600sqft office these days. However, we may be moving here in the next few months to something much larger again. If we do, we probably could do this for you guys.00:55
bkerensa"00:55
pleia2hehe, there are two recruiters here02:09
akkThat's cool, recruiters clueful enough to go to a meeting like that.02:10
akkAlso that recruiters are interested in ubuntu/debian people.02:10
