cogWow what a major pain in the butt bug :C17:23
cogI switched back to the terminal hotkeyed to F7 but didn't see anything but noninteractive garbage messed up from my previous configuration of windows in Unity :C17:25
highvoltagestgraber: have you booked flights for UDS yet?18:10
highvoltage(these are the options from YUL if you haven't: http://paste.ubuntu.com/880723/)18:11
stgraberhighvoltage: I'm waiting for my passport18:14
highvoltagestgraber: ah for some reason I thought you collected that on Friday18:14
highvoltagestgraber: should I go ahead and book mine or do you think you'll have your passport soon?18:15
stgraberhighvoltage: what's the cheapest? ideally I'd take the direct as I try to avoid ORD at all costs and changing through YYZ would add a quite a few extra hours + custom/immigration at the middle of the trip18:15
stgraberhighvoltage: I should have my passport this week18:15
alkisgstgraber, highvoltage, do you think I could ask for sponsoring for that UDS too?18:17
highvoltagestgraber: it doesn't mention costs18:17
highvoltagealkisg: yeah you should have already!18:17
alkisgIt's the first time I've heard about it, I thought it would be organized later on :)18:17
highvoltagealkisg: yeah, unfortunately jono bacon assumes that *everyone* reads his blog: http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/01/27/ubuntu-developer-summit-sponsorship-now-open-3/18:18
stgraberalkisg: this UDS is a bit weird in that it's on the US west coast instead of Europe. I don't know where the UDS in October is going to be this year but if it's in the US again, it might be best for you to save "points" for that one and bundle with the LTSP hackfest again18:19
alkisgWait,  Oakland, California ? I thought it would be in Europe! (not that I'll complain at all if I'm granted sponsorship :))18:19
stgraberhighvoltage: I'm guessing you didn't even apply for it, you just got invited by Kate right?18:19
alkisgstgraber: it's the last year where I have a leave of absense for my phd, I don't know if I'll be able to leave my school the next years (except for summer vacations)18:19
alkisgSo it's possible that it's the last UDS I'll be able to attend18:20
highvoltagestgraber: yeah. I wasn't even sure if I'd go, but I ended up going for it18:20
stgraberalkisg: from Jono's blog "The deadline for submissions is Wed 22nd February 2012 so be sure to get yours in!" :(18:20
alkisgOuch18:21
highvoltagestgraber: so I'm taking the first flight fwiw, I guess you could just say you want the same18:21
stgraberhighvoltage: ok, direct from Montreal to SFO would definitely be my preference18:21
stgraberhighvoltage: from there I know how to get to Oakland, did it a few times ;)18:21
highvoltagegreat18:22
alkisgSniff... /me was looking forward for the next UDS :(18:22
stgraberI was a bit surprised at how little noise there actually was about this UDS...18:22
highvoltagealkisg: I just assumed you did apply :(18:23
stgraberI don't even remember seeing something on the usual mailing-lists...18:23
alkisgNah, I had searched about it a couple of months ago and didn't find anything, so I just thought I'd read the new on the mailing lists18:23
alkisg*news18:24
highvoltageooh, sorry jono18:24
highvoltagehe did actually post it to the right place, too: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2012-January/000928.html18:24
alkisgIt would be a good chance to visit vagrantc too18:24
stgraberoh, indeed he did, must have been filtered by the "/ignore jono" my brain was applying to my e-mails at the time18:25
alkisgAnyway, I'll put my hopes of seeing you guys again to the chance that some future LTSP BTS will be organized in Europe + in the summer :)18:28
cogHow do I run Mathematica through wine on Edubuntu -current?20:19
cogpositivecognitionmentat@gmail.com (me) wants the answer :)20:19
