[00:30] cprofitt, congrats on your CC position! [00:33] congrats cprofitt [00:33] just read that [00:35] thanks cjohnston [00:36] Nice to see you step down from the LC as well. :-) [00:36] * cprofitt nods [00:36] (not that you being on the LC was a bad thing) [00:36] I truly believe that it is the right thing to do [00:36] I agree [00:36] as I stated at UDS [00:37] congrats cprofitt [00:37] thanks bkerensa [00:51] Congrats cprofitt :) [00:53] cprofitt: Does that mean your going to help fix the bug that akgraner mentioned in her blog post? :P [00:54] I am not sure what stage that is at bkerensa - I do know it is being looked at [00:54] and has been under discussion [00:55] I'm still working on it :-) [00:56] that reminds me I still have to finish one of the things I was working on too... [00:56] gotta get that sent out [01:01] :) 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 [01:02] and in this case the marriott charges $50xnight up front and holds it for 10 business days so $300 [01:03] 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 [01:04] bkerensa: for this upcoming UDS or previous ones? [01:06] bkerensa: what's up? [01:11] cprofitt: For this one and apparently previous ones [01:11] cprofitt: philipballew and I are sending a e-mail out to address it were CC'ing Comm Council [01:13] CC doesnt really have anything to do with it [01:14] That would be something to address with Canonical [01:14] cjohnston: ok [01:21] bkerensa: the deposit is refunded after your room is not destroyed right? [01:22] normally they make you put a card on hold... [01:23] AFAIK every hotel does this [01:23] the way that works is for atm cards it can be held by your bank for up to 10 days [01:23] that's a policy for almost *all* hotels [01:23] for CC cards it only takes about 3 business days to see the funds [01:24] 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 [01:26] 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] or the sponsoring agency [01:26] that's hotel policy [01:26] bkerensa: ^ [01:26] 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 [01:27] with some sponsored attendees not having the money to cover it [01:28] 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 [01:29] I wouldn't make a big deal about it - but instead say - hey jono can you bring this to Marianna's attention please [01:37] 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 [01:44] I don't know what you mean by "it's been a problem" [01:44] you just need to talk to marianna or someone at the Hotel. [01:45] nigelb: because the attendee doesn't have the ability to cover it [01:46] cjohnston: I've seen marianna smootht that over with hotel staff. [01:47] Again I would think that attendees would consider that all hotel/flight rules apply [02:13] when I have done it -- it does not show as a charge... [02:14] I would have to go back and take a look though === dvestal is now known as dvestal_away [04:30] YEah, its's "blocked" [05:05] well, i have finished writing the post... [05:05] http://www.2buntu.com/2012/03/09/spreading-the-word-about-spreadubuntu-org/ === Mohan_chml is now known as M0hi [07:17] morning [07:19] bkerensa: the CC has nothing to do with the sponsorship of UDS, it goes via Canonical and Marianna who does the organising of it [11:02] uggh [11:03] cjohnston: sore head? [11:03] no, just awake [15:09] jcastro: Happy Birthday [15:21] happy birthday jcastro [15:25] for he's a jolly good fellow :D [15:37] Happy Birthday jcastro :] [16:52] czajkowski: /26 [16:52] sorry czajkowski [16:52] Hello :) [16:59] 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 [17:00] cjohnston: I posed the launchpad-dev link which is public, the post was up for all of 4 mins [17:00] hello s-fox :] [17:01] right.. but people who only read planet saw it on planet and never saw an update AFAIK [17:03] I';ll ask Monday [17:03] ty [17:03] but I suspect the answer will be read lp-dev as thats where the info is and explainations of stuff is [17:04] and where people are to comment [17:04] 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 [17:05] fine, will ask. [17:05] but for now its the weekend and not looking at anything lp releated as thats work.
