| jono | cprofitt, congrats on your CC position! | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| cjohnston | congrats cprofitt | 00:33 |
| cjohnston | just read that | 00:33 |
| cprofitt | thanks cjohnston | 00:35 |
| cjohnston | Nice to see you step down from the LC as well. :-) | 00:36 |
| * cprofitt nods | 00:36 | |
| cjohnston | (not that you being on the LC was a bad thing) | 00:36 |
| cprofitt | I truly believe that it is the right thing to do | 00:36 |
| cjohnston | I agree | 00:36 |
| cprofitt | as I stated at UDS | 00:36 |
| bkerensa | congrats cprofitt | 00:37 |
| cprofitt | thanks bkerensa | 00:37 |
| nigelb | Congrats cprofitt :) | 00:51 |
| bkerensa | cprofitt: Does that mean your going to help fix the bug that akgraner mentioned in her blog post? :P | 00:53 |
| cprofitt | I am not sure what stage that is at bkerensa - I do know it is being looked at | 00:54 |
| cprofitt | and has been under discussion | 00:54 |
| akgraner | I'm still working on it :-) | 00:55 |
| cprofitt | that reminds me I still have to finish one of the things I was working on too... | 00:56 |
| cprofitt | gotta get that sent out | 00:56 |
| bkerensa | :) So pleia2 was able to share a interesting fact on UDS which likely should have been included for those who got sponsorship e-mails basically there is a room deposit | 01:01 |
| bkerensa | and in this case the marriott charges $50xnight up front and holds it for 10 business days so $300 | 01:02 |
| bkerensa | I guess this was a issue at one point in the past because it had not been announced and one or more people showed up and were not prepared to pony up $300 on a credit card | 01:03 |
| cprofitt | bkerensa: for this upcoming UDS or previous ones? | 01:04 |
| mhall119 | bkerensa: what's up? | 01:06 |
| bkerensa | cprofitt: For this one and apparently previous ones | 01:11 |
| bkerensa | cprofitt: philipballew and I are sending a e-mail out to address it were CC'ing Comm Council | 01:11 |
| cjohnston | CC doesnt really have anything to do with it | 01:13 |
| cjohnston | That would be something to address with Canonical | 01:14 |
| bkerensa | cjohnston: ok | 01:14 |
| cprofitt | bkerensa: the deposit is refunded after your room is not destroyed right? | 01:21 |
| cjohnston | normally they make you put a card on hold... | 01:22 |
| cjohnston | AFAIK every hotel does this | 01:23 |
| akgraner | the way that works is for atm cards it can be held by your bank for up to 10 days | 01:23 |
| akgraner | that's a policy for almost *all* hotels | 01:23 |
| akgraner | for CC cards it only takes about 3 business days to see the funds | 01:23 |
| akgraner | the hotel doesn't hold the money for 10 days - they release with 24 hours most of the time - or the next business day following your checkout | 01:24 |
| akgraner | for the case of events like uds or anything else where you have roommates and the room charge and tax goes to the master folio - the incidentals (phone, movie, mini bar etc) are not covered by Canonical | 01:26 |
| akgraner | or the sponsoring agency | 01:26 |
| akgraner | that's hotel policy | 01:26 |
| cjohnston | bkerensa: ^ | 01:26 |
| bkerensa | akgraner: Yeah... I just wanted to bring it up because it was not announced and I guess in the past this has been a problem | 01:26 |
| bkerensa | with some sponsored attendees not having the money to cover it | 01:27 |
| akgraner | bkerensa, then in my mind - an email should go to those being sponsored explaining it, then if someone can't do that email Marianna explaining the situation so it can be worked out on a case by case basis | 01:28 |
| akgraner | I wouldn't make a big deal about it - but instead say - hey jono can you bring this to Marianna's attention please | 01:29 |
| cjohnston | I guess I would think it would be prudent of the attendee to understand the policy of the hotel and not Marianna's job to figure it out and explain it to us | 01:37 |
| nigelb | I don't know what you mean by "it's been a problem" | 01:44 |
| nigelb | you just need to talk to marianna or someone at the Hotel. | 01:44 |
| cjohnston | nigelb: because the attendee doesn't have the ability to cover it | 01:45 |
| nigelb | cjohnston: I've seen marianna smootht that over with hotel staff. | 01:46 |
| cjohnston | Again I would think that attendees would consider that all hotel/flight rules apply | 01:47 |
| cprofitt | when I have done it -- it does not show as a charge... | 02:13 |
| cprofitt | I would have to go back and take a look though | 02:14 |

| czajkowski | morning | 07:17 |
| czajkowski | bkerensa: the CC has nothing to do with the sponsorship of UDS, it goes via Canonical and Marianna who does the organising of it | 07:19 |
| cjohnston | uggh | 11:02 |
| czajkowski | cjohnston: sore head? | 11:03 |
| cjohnston | no, just awake | 11:03 |
| snap-l | jcastro: Happy Birthday | 15:09 |
| cjohnston | happy birthday jcastro | 15:21 |
| nothingspecial | for he's a jolly good fellow :D | 15:25 |
| M0hi | Happy Birthday jcastro :] | 15:37 |
| cjohnston | czajkowski: /26 | 16:52 |
| cjohnston | sorry czajkowski | 16:52 |
| s-fox | Hello :) | 16:52 |
| cjohnston | since I did ping you.. czajkowski, since a post was made to planet about the changes to LP, would it maybe be possible to get one saying they have been postponed since not everyone is on that ML | 16:59 |
| czajkowski | cjohnston: I posed the launchpad-dev link which is public, the post was up for all of 4 mins | 17:00 |
| M0hi | hello s-fox :] | 17:00 |
| cjohnston | right.. but people who only read planet saw it on planet and never saw an update AFAIK | 17:01 |
| czajkowski | I';ll ask Monday | 17:03 |
| cjohnston | ty | 17:03 |
| czajkowski | but I suspect the answer will be read lp-dev as thats where the info is and explainations of stuff is | 17:03 |
| czajkowski | and where people are to comment | 17:04 |
| cjohnston | I understand that.. but not everyone is on lp-devs, nor would know to go there to look for it.. just an announcement that its been postponed would be good IMO | 17:04 |
| czajkowski | fine, will ask. | 17:05 |
| czajkowski | but for now its the weekend and not looking at anything lp releated as thats work. | 17:05 |
| czajkowski | tis the weekend so rugby and ubuntu work now | 17:05 |
| cjohnston | k | 17:05 |
