philipballewit seems like a smart idea to ask what a good method is for this event04:56

bkerensaphilipballew: I am the only Ubuntu Member from Oregon coming that I know of but we do have 20+ Canonical Employees here04:59

bkerensaphilipballew: My understanding is that its compulsory yes05:00
philipballewnice! yeah, the guy I run a ubuntu hour with has a job with them05:01
bkerensaphilipballew: Some bring their spouses too and for some they also do sprints or special gatherings after UDS05:01
philipballewi imagine sf is a nice place to do that05:02
bkerensaphilipballew: I like to think our Canonical folks are the Wizards and Rockstars of Ubuntu05:02
bkerensa:)05:02
bkerensawe have some really really talented people up here05:02
bkerensasadly one of them is moving to California soon05:02
* philipballew thinks bkerensa is a wizard and rockstar05:03
philipballewdo any Canonical people come to your events?05:03
bkerensaphilipballew: I am not even in the same galaxy as these people ;) it would take me a lifetime to catch up05:03
bkerensaphilipballew: yes05:03
bkerensaphilipballew: Steve Langasek did a talk at our Global Jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9aQA18ZbmU05:04
philipballewbkerensa, seriously, I was trying to listen to my friend talk about the linux kernel to me. My head hurt after05:04
bkerensaand so did Brian Murray who is the Bugmaster for Ubuntu05:04
bkerensawell apparently Linus Torvalds use to live like a few minutes from me but I never saw or met the guy05:04
bkerensa;p05:04
bkerensahe still apparently lives there but I have never seen him nor has anyone I know :D05:05
bkerensaapparently he hides05:05
philipballewhe lives in Portland. and apperently untill a week ago ran open suse. He probably can hide in plain sight easily05:05
bkerensaphilipballew: He lives in Lake Oswego apparently which is Portland Metro area but a different town05:06
bkerensa:D05:06
bkerensahouses in LO start at like 1-2 million a pop at the cheap range05:06
philipballewi make 8.45 an hour with my job05:06
bkerensaphilipballew: :D05:07
philipballewwonder why he chose portland though05:07
bkerensaphilipballew: no idea but the Linux Foundation used to be in Beaverton05:08
bkerensaso I imagine it had something to do with that05:08
philipballewits a nice place, but a guy from Finland seems like a odd thing,05:08
philipballewthe linux conf is in ca this year05:08
bkerensaphilipballew: yeah san diego05:08
bkerensa:D05:08
bkerensaDreamhost is having a party in Portland next Thursday05:09

bkerensaphilipballew: http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-18897-lake_affront.html05:38
bkerensathat talks about Lake Oswego05:39
bkerensa:D05:39
philipballewi wonder if he has even been to say a lug or anything like that bkerensa05:41
philipballewportland has a lug05:41
bkerensaphilipballew: We have a two :) one is PLUG and the other is PDXLUG :) they have this huge rift where PLUG is lead by someone who PDXLUG says use the LUG to leverage his company and make sales :) and PDXLUG says they are just for geeks :)05:42
philipballewwhat do you like?05:42
bkerensaBut I do not think Linus has ever been to any lug or linux events locally and I do not think he ever will05:42
philipballewhe might get yelled at05:42
bkerensaphilipballew: I do not like either :) PLUG is annoyingly corporate and PDXLUG has much trolling so I just stick with the Ubuntu folks ;)05:43
philipballewive never been to the lug in sd. its at night and i only have a bike05:43
bkerensaphilipballew: Apparently he once said he would never go to a user group event again and supposedly he does not like events at all05:43
philipballewand about 15 miles away05:43
philipballewhe'05:44
bkerensaphilipballew: I know a guy who rides his bike from Portland to Crater Lake and back in two days05:44
philipballewhes a pretty nice person though i think05:44
bkerensaIts about 278 miles one way05:45
bkerensa:D05:45
bkerensaand the guy is a linux user :)05:45
philipballewif Canonical emails me saying they want to take me up on my uds or bust idea, i might have to do that same thing05:45
bkerensaphilipballew: what is that?05:46
bkerensaoh I highly doubt they will05:46
bkerensa:)05:46
philipballewyeah! it would be funny, but i thought the people reading my app would laugh05:46
bkerensaphilipballew: I wonder what criteria they use to approve apps05:47
bkerensaI know people who have been to quite a few UDSes as sponsored attendees05:47
