[04:31] <jthan> I remember back in the day when things here were poppin
[09:41] <JonathanD> Happy new year!
[10:35] <rmg51> liar
[14:48] <SamuraiAlba> good bacon to all!
[14:52]  * waltman is amazed that in 2012 he has to explain to his idiot brother the difference between vegetarian and vegan.
[15:01] <jedijf> just because of a little insect goo?
[15:03] <waltman> We're planning a birthday party for my mom's 75th birthday, and for some reason suggesting we have a non-meat dish has proved confusing.
[15:03] <waltman> "Grilled Salmon or Eggplant Rollatini - not sure if there are any non-meat eaters or vegans, but we should offer one just in case."
[15:05] <waltman> I tried to explain to him yesterday that "vegan" and "vegetarian" weren't synonyms, but he didn't get it.

[15:06] <waltman> Sometimes I think I must have been switched at birth.
[15:06] <passstab> it looks like there isn't a full DWW this week :(
[15:07]  * waltman notes the date
[15:07] <passstab> lol
[15:08] <jedijf> waltman: don't let them go for it
[15:08] <passstab> your allot faster then i was
[15:08] <jedijf> err
[15:08] <waltman> jedijf: ?
[15:08] <passstab> it was AFTER the screenshot
[15:08] <passstab> that i remebered
[15:09] <waltman> allot?
[15:09] <jedijf> waltman: it was supposed to read don't tell them about 4/1 - it will prove that they believe what they want to believe
[15:10] <jedijf> and only those who care really pay attention to the vegan vs vegetarian difference
[15:10] <waltman> Right, but you really want to use "vegetarian" as the catch-all word
[15:11] <waltman> When he uses "vegan" like that he sounds like a complete idiot to me.
[15:11] <jedijf> well, i guess when doing an event and if you care about them, go vegan is safeest
[15:11] <jedijf> safest
[15:11] <waltman> a vegan wouldn't be able to eat much at this place
[15:11] <jedijf> vegetarian, no dairy shut up and eat, or don't
[15:12] <jedijf> eggplant nor parm
[15:12] <jedijf> *no
[15:13] <waltman> Now he's claiming he's very familiar with each term. I'm still skeptical.
[15:14] <SamuraiAlba> oooh
[15:14] <SamuraiAlba> Magic:The Gathering time.
[15:30] <jedijf> waltman: don't stress anyway, vegans are used to be odd people out and generally aren't trusting eaters when out anyway
[15:30] <passstab> jedijf, did you see that vinux thing?
[15:31] <jedijf> passstab: yeah, i crafted a response and then thought better not to respond because we are only sponsors, that email accomplished it's goal to the extent that we can promote it for tech week
[15:32] <jedijf> to our list
[15:32] <jedijf> if/when we have events, all are welcome to attend, and if it's that important to our members, they can self-promote
[15:33] <passstab> so we won't do anything?
[15:33] <jedijf> for example, at one release party, i had unr installed so people could play with it
[15:33] <passstab> ahh
[15:33] <jedijf> passstab: that email made no sense
[15:34] <passstab> i'm sorry
[15:34] <jedijf> not yours the blind one
[15:34] <passstab> oh
[15:34] <passstab> yea i agree
[15:34] <jedijf> a sensible response would have been, we, vinux, want to do a demo event for tech week at xyz on xyz at xyz time
[15:34] <passstab> he probably dosn't know what techweek is
[15:35] <jedijf> he should, vinux should have read it to him
[15:35] <passstab> ok but what WILL we do for TW?
[15:36] <jedijf> i haven't responded myself yet, waiting for others. see the problem? but anyway, i think promoting our later (week or 2) release party will better suit are needs
[15:37] <jedijf> my thinking is tech week attendees would rather use the week to see other things than ubuntu, even though they may have an interest. letting them know of an event later, when there aren't as many choices to split our crowd may be most benficial
[15:39] <jedijf> i keep looking thru the event schedule trying to find a day/time slot not to step on any allies toes
[15:40] <jedijf> just to do an 'informational' event
[15:40] <jedijf> feel free to do so and make suggestions
[15:41] <jedijf> we can do a hey meet Ubuntu LoCo team during week at Manayunk diner (for example)
[15:42] <jedijf> but again, with an upcoming Release event, we have to realize that people only have so much time to give to geek, and don't want to waste it
[15:42] <jedijf> me for example ^^^^
[15:44] <jedijf> hive music night is usually a good event
[15:46]  * rmg51 can no longer do weeknight events, he has to babysit his mom :'(
[15:48] <jedijf> and if we personally attend any events, Linux advocacy seems to happen automagically
[15:50] <jedijf> i would like to maybe setup a Core Kiosk on a lappy
[16:09] <passstab> intro to foss art?
[16:09] <passstab> that is gimp, audacity ,openshot...
[16:11] <passstab> core kiosk?
