[00:00] we could do a written one [00:00] well, I'll be happy to do it, but about my dad I don't know, he may be a little bit shy about it [00:00] as you want to, it's no problem for me :) [00:01] JoseeAntonioR, how about this - I'll send you both questions and he can decide if he wants to answer them [00:01] well I'll send you both sets of questions and you all can discuss it [00:01] as you won't be able to answer some of the questions until like Thursday at UDS [00:02] that's great - you've got a yes from me :) [00:04] I'll tell him about his part once he's back [00:07] akgraner: Friday of UDS is a party right? [00:07] I ask because Mozilla wants me to also go to a party on Friday in Mountain View [00:07] :P [00:08] bkerensa, usually... [00:08] I didnt know because there is no UDS schedule up [00:08] yeah, it's when we all give hugs and drink before our airplanes! [00:08] * benonsoftware envies everyone going there :P [00:08] :D [00:09] bkerensa, just check the uds site - usually everythign gets listed there and on the name badges :-) [00:09] sometimes sleep before our airplanes, unless we book a 7AM flight (who did that? this girl!) [00:09] I think I was still a little drunk when I boarded, ah brussels :) [00:09] pleia2, yep I've had a few of those - sleep on the plane [00:09] pleia2, I think everyone was [00:09] no, that was dallas [00:10] pleia2: I guess I stay from 6th - 12th idk thats what the travel agency booked [00:10] bkerensa: that's pretty typical [00:10] pleia2, dallas was the first everclear event :-) [00:10] I have to be at 7am at the airport D: [00:10] dallas: http://princessleia.com/images/journalpics/112009/pleia2_grantbow_at_allstars.jpg [00:10] pleia2: I think checkout is at 11am on 12th so I was going to go to San Francisco until I depart back home [00:11] do some shopping [00:11] bkerensa: cool :) [00:11] JoseeAntonioR: On Friday or Saturday? [00:11] :D [00:11] we should talk, I know I'l lwanting to be hanging out with everyone [00:11] pleia2, best picture ever :-) [00:11] bkerensa: on Saturday [00:11] JoseeAntonioR: Lucky you :) I am stuck in Oakland till like 10pm at night [00:12] lol [00:12] I arrive Saturday sometime - but I need to double check what time [00:12] * akgraner forgot already [00:12] I arrive Sunday morning, and pretty early [00:12] like midnight early [00:12] akgraner: I arrive Saturday at like 7am [00:13] Yep [00:13] Sunday I mean [00:13] ahh ok [00:53] akgraner: my dad said he would have no problem with it :) [00:54] JoseeAntonioR, great - I'll work on getting you those before UDS - so you all can think about them while at UDS :-) [00:54] perfect, thank you! [00:56] uds is coming up fast... I should probably look into tickets and stuff soon [00:59] we're just one month away [00:59] i have school till then, and the travel agent wont email me back. Im gonna call tomorow and say some things [01:00] way to busy [01:01] well time to ride back to school before dark... [21:37] pleia2, totally awesome managed to find a bug that locked up my new machine :-) woo hoo... [21:38] akgraner: what are you doing on sunday april 8th around 22 hrs UTC? [21:41] hi btw ^^ [21:46] SilverLion, not sure - I may be taking my hubby to the airport [21:46] but I can let you know for sure tomorrow [21:47] akgraner: because you might have an interview appointment then :P [21:47] ok :-) [21:47] I'll know for sure tomorrow afternoon [21:48] akgraner: tomorrow night (for my time) around this time it totally ok ^^ [21:49] ok - Sunday would be best, just need to double check who is driving whom to the airport [22:46] akgraner: Our banner http://i.imgur.com/G4shD.jpg [22:47] bkerensa, me looks [22:47] nice [22:47] we are going to have two vertical roll up banners made [22:47] and likely will also have a table cloth made [22:47] I love those kind of banners [22:49] Yeah... I guess they also have these ones that have a cross bar [22:49] but are like $100 cheaper then the roll ups and not as heavy [22:49] :D [22:59] :-) [23:00] akgraner: nice, is there a workaround you can use, or is the bug fixed? :) [23:01] pleia2, not fixed just have a work around - gvfs :-( [23:01] ah [23:02] yep [23:13] why is it so hard to enter the US ... can someone tell me? [23:16] a lot of people want to live here, so we have a huge problem with people staying even after their VISA has expired [23:16] so they only give out a limited number of VISAs [23:21] pleia2: although i understand the reasons: i feel sorry for folks wanting to attend the UDS not being able to due to VISA issues :/ [23:22] yeah, it's unfortunate [23:22] pleia2: is there absolutely no possibility to get one for a very commited user from here? [23:23] I have no idea [23:23] I've never had to get a VISA to the US ;) [23:23] and I don't know where you live [23:25] in 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 problem [23:33] * SilverLion would love to get to know all you (akgraner , pleia2 etc) in person ... but financials prevent me :( [23:35] Visas are pretty difficult to get if you don't have extremely exact data on everything [23:39] pleia2: 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] It was a pretty difficult situation, rejected two times, and being honest, for no valid reason
