[00:30] <jono> cprofitt, congrats on your CC position!
[00:33] <cjohnston> congrats cprofitt
[00:33] <cjohnston> just read that
[00:35] <cprofitt> thanks cjohnston
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <bkerensa> congrats cprofitt
[00:37] <cprofitt> thanks bkerensa
[00:51] <nigelb> Congrats cprofitt :)
[00:53] <bkerensa> cprofitt: Does that mean your going to help fix the bug that akgraner mentioned in her blog post? :P
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <akgraner> I'm still working on it :-)
[00:56] <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
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <bkerensa> and in this case the marriott charges $50xnight up front and holds it for 10 business days so $300
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <cprofitt> bkerensa: for this upcoming UDS or previous ones?
[01:06] <mhall119> bkerensa: what's up?
[01:11] <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
[01:13] <cjohnston> CC doesnt really have anything to do with it
[01:14] <cjohnston> That would be something to address with Canonical
[01:14] <bkerensa> cjohnston: ok
[01:21] <cprofitt> bkerensa: the deposit is refunded after your room is not destroyed right?
[01:22] <cjohnston> normally they make you put a card on hold...
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <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
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <bkerensa> with some sponsored attendees not having the money to cover it
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <akgraner> I wouldn't make a big deal about it - but instead say - hey jono can you bring this to Marianna's attention please
[01:37] <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
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <cjohnston> nigelb: because the attendee doesn't have the ability to cover it
[01:46] <nigelb> cjohnston: I've seen marianna smootht that over with hotel staff.
[01:47] <cjohnston> Again I would think that attendees would consider that all hotel/flight rules apply
[02:13] <cprofitt> when I have done it -- it does not show as a charge...
[02:14] <cprofitt> I would have to go back and take a look though
[04:30] <nigelb> YEah, its's "blocked"
[05:05] <jokerdino> well, i have finished writing the post...

[07:17] <czajkowski> morning
[07:19] <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
[11:02] <cjohnston> uggh
[11:03] <czajkowski> cjohnston: sore head?
[11:03] <cjohnston> no, just awake
[15:09] <snap-l> jcastro: Happy Birthday
[15:21] <cjohnston> happy birthday jcastro
[15:25] <nothingspecial> for he's a jolly good fellow :D
[15:37] <M0hi> Happy Birthday jcastro :]
[16:52] <cjohnston> czajkowski: /26
[16:52] <cjohnston> sorry czajkowski
[16:52] <s-fox> Hello :)
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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 :]
[17:01] <cjohnston> right.. but people who only read planet saw it on planet and never saw an update AFAIK
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <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
