bkerensaakgraner: Our banner http://i.imgur.com/G4shD.jpg22:46
akgranerbkerensa, me looks22:47
akgranernice22:47
bkerensawe are going to have two vertical roll up banners made22:47
bkerensaand likely will also have a table cloth made22:47
akgranerI love those kind of banners22:47
bkerensaYeah... I guess they also have these ones that have a cross bar22:49
bkerensabut are like $100 cheaper then the roll ups and not as heavy22:49
bkerensa:D22:49
akgraner:-)22:59
pleia2akgraner: nice, is there a workaround you can use, or is the bug fixed? :)23:00
akgranerpleia2, not fixed just have a work around - gvfs  :-(23:01
pleia2ah23:01
akgraneryep23:02
SilverLionwhy is it so hard to enter the US ... can someone tell me?23:13
pleia2a lot of people want to live here, so we have a huge problem with people staying even after their VISA has expired23:16
pleia2so they only give out a limited number of VISAs23:16
SilverLionpleia2: although i understand the reasons: i feel sorry for folks wanting to attend the UDS not being able to due to VISA issues :/23:21
pleia2yeah, it's unfortunate23:22
SilverLionpleia2: is there absolutely no possibility to get one for a very commited user from here?23:22
pleia2I have no idea23:23
pleia2I've never had to get a VISA to the US ;)23:23
pleia2and I don't know where you live23:23
pleia2in the past I've known people who had to have a letter of invitation to the conference (Canonical can issue these) to get a VISA, the only time I've ever heard of someone having a problem is if they didn't submit it early enough and they've started doing sponsorships earlier to try and avoid that problem23:25
* SilverLion would love to get to know all you (akgraner , pleia2 etc) in person ... but financials prevent me :(23:33
JoseeAntonioRVisas are pretty difficult to get if you don't have extremely exact data on everything23:35
SilverLionpleia2: in this particular case a visa was refused even with a letter of invitation by canonical (and the person had it in time )23:39
JoseeAntonioRIt was a pretty difficult situation, rejected two times, and being honest, for no valid reason23:39
