|---|---|---|
| benonsoftware | Hmm, doesn't look like there will be much of a meeting tonight | 07:10 |
| head_victim | benonsoftware: I'd be surprised to get much of a turnout on Easter Sunday. We probably should have thought of that. | 08:19 |
| benonsoftware | Yes | 08:20 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim, Hopefully I will be at the meeting, but could possibly be late | 09:05 |
| benonsoftware | jaddi27: Good luck with your membership! :) | 09:06 |
| jaddi27 | benonsoftware, Thanks for that. I actually still need to get some testimonials. The date crept up on me with all my uni work over the last few weeks | 09:07 |
| benonsoftware | I'll add a testimonial to your wiki when I wake up tomorrow :) | 09:08 |
| jaddi27 | benonsoftware, That would be great. Thanks! | 09:16 |
| benonsoftware | No problem | 09:16 |
| head_victim | I'm just hoping there'll be quorum, it's possible I may not be there myself this month | 09:17 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim, Hopefully there will be after the last few meetings | 09:17 |
| sagaci | evening jaddi27 | 09:31 |
| head_victim | hm I can't seem to log into loco.u.c | 09:47 |
| head_victim | Keep getting an openid timeout :/ | 09:48 |
| head_victim | Hah just as I whine it works. | 09:48 |
| sagaci | it's a bit temperamental | 09:50 |
| head_victim | So who's about for tonight's meeting? | 09:58 |
| sagaci | yep | 09:59 |
| sagaci | not much on the agenda | 09:59 |
| sagaci | postpone to May? | 10:00 |
| sagaci | there'll be news after the release, release parties and I'll be on the aeroplane back from UDS | 10:01 |
| * benonsoftware is | 10:02 | |
| sagaci | i'll blog about it later, since I sorted that out today | 10:03 |
| head_victim | Heh nice work. I keep meaning to apply one of these releases for USD. | 10:03 |
| head_victim | UDS* | 10:03 |
| head_victim | What do they/don't they pay for? | 10:04 |
| sagaci | accommodation and travel | 10:05 |
| sagaci | well that's what you can apply for | 10:05 |
| sagaci | I have to travel to the nearest airport by car and pay for the bart train in san fran but that's negligible | 10:05 |
| sagaci | and food each day I guess | 10:05 |
| sagaci | travel was ~1500EUR | 10:06 |
| sagaci | from Tamworth NSW - Sydney - San Francisco and return | 10:06 |
| * benonsoftware hopes to attend the UDS is five or so years time :D | 10:07 | |
| sagaci | for ubuntu 17.04 LTS | 10:08 |
| head_victim | Could see another one downunder at some stage :) | 10:08 |
| benonsoftware | One down here would be great :) | 10:08 |
| sagaci | I was hoping that too but it seems to be USA/Europe | 10:09 |
| sagaci | and passport and $14 ESTA | 10:09 |
| benonsoftware | Yeah | 10:10 |
| benonsoftware | At least you don't need all the VISA paperwork | 10:11 |
| head_victim | I sign for lots of people's passports but haven't got one myself. | 10:11 |
| head_victim | I was going to ask how hard it was to get a visa | 10:11 |
| sagaci | head_victim, for the US under 90 day visit it's an online form | 10:11 |
| head_victim | Ah ok, I was hearing other people had to do interviews and stuff | 10:12 |
| * benonsoftware doesn't have a passport yet | 10:12 | |
| benonsoftware | head_victim: Some countries you do, I know someone who's interview is on the 11th | 10:12 |
| sagaci | that's probably for longer visits | 10:12 |
| head_victim | I had one when I was 15 or so but it never got used. Was meant to tour NZ for Rugby but ended up in hospital instead. | 10:12 |
| sagaci | Australia is part of the visa waiver progra | 10:12 |
| benonsoftware | Yeah | 10:13 |
| head_victim | Ah, see . All the stuff I have no idea on. | 10:13 |
| sagaci | head_victim, so you also sign birth certificates, etc? | 10:13 |
| head_victim | I certify copies of them lots. | 10:14 |
| head_victim | When I was volunteering at the courthouse I'd often do a hundred or so in a few hours. | 10:14 |
| sagaci | yeah | 10:14 |
| sagaci | I just wanted to get it without any complication, paid the extra $100 for two-day turnaround | 10:15 |
| sagaci | just to be safe... :/ | 10:15 |
| head_victim | Better to be safe then sorry. | 10:15 |
| sagaci | yep | 10:15 |
| sagaci | head_victim, submitting any blueprints? | 10:16 |
| head_victim | Nah my time has really been starting to be drained lately :/ | 10:16 |
| benonsoftware | I hate files that are corrupt :/ | 10:18 |
| head_victim | benonsoftware: you shouldn't bribe them then ;) | 10:18 |
| jaddi27 | so we are postponing the meeting? That is fine with me | 10:18 |
| sagaci | starts at something like 2 or 3am anyway | 10:18 |
| head_victim | Well I had a request from someone who contacted me directly as a new team member asking abotu a Melbourne meeting | 10:18 |
| head_victim | I was hoping someone would have some good news on that front but it's appearing unlikely. | 10:19 |
| jaddi27 | a melbourne release party? | 10:19 |
| head_victim | Any sort of get together is what I think the person was after | 10:19 |
| head_victim | I'll end up pointing them to LUV if it comes to that. | 10:19 |
| * benonsoftware hides :/ | 10:20 | |
| sagaci | the sydney release party looks pretty healthy | 10:20 |
| head_victim | Yeah it's a bit odd with people signing up on loco.u.c. Sometimes they do, more often they don't and just rock up. | 10:20 |
| head_victim | I forgot to make them events on FB so it could get some air time there as well | 10:21 |
| jaddi27 | I can make events for them on Facebook - it might just not be tonight, depending on my time | 10:21 |
| sagaci | I think that l.u.c and the mailing list are the most effective places | 10:21 |
| sagaci | can't wait... less than two weeks | 10:22 |
| head_victim | sagaci: yep but I try to utilise as many avenues as we have. | 10:22 |
| sagaci | I'll be holding an ubuntu day in July in sydney soon too | 10:22 |
| jaddi27 | sagaci, We still get quite a few people looking at IRC meetings on Facebook events | 10:22 |
| head_victim | I'll be emailing HUMBUG closer to the date, feel free to send one to SLUG if you think it's appropriate (I have no idea how they go with that sort of thing) | 10:22 |
| head_victim | jaddi27: yeah I sometimes look and see 50 odd people saying they're goign and 5 turn up :P | 10:23 |
| benonsoftware | Well I'm heading to bed | 10:23 |
| benonsoftware | Night all | 10:23 |
| head_victim | benonsoftware: night mate | 10:23 |
| jaddi27 | benonsoftware, See you later | 10:23 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim, At least we know they are seeing it though | 10:23 |
| head_victim | jaddi27: yep, that's the plan. | 10:23 |
| sagaci | it'll be interesting to see all these internet people | 10:28 |
| head_victim | Hah "interesting" is one way to say it :D | 10:28 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim, sagaci: I have created the facebook events now | 10:29 |
| jaddi27 | be back son | 10:29 |
| jaddi27 | *soon | 10:29 |
| sagaci | great at least the times should be right | 10:30 |
| head_victim | I should double check the times of the release parties as well | 10:35 |
| head_victim | Hah, both are showing correct on my mobile | 10:38 |
| head_victim | jaddi27: nice work, I just signed up to the Brisbane one. | 10:41 |
| head_victim | Well on that note, I will probably abandon the internet for the evening, tomorrow I start a long drive. | 10:42 |
| jaddi27 | head_victim, might see you in the meeting channel on tuesday. Have a good trip | 10:45 |
| sagaci | jaddi27, good luck | 10:45 |
| jaddi27 | sagaci, thanks. If you think it is appropriate, would you be able to add a testimonial to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JoelAddison#Testimonials | 10:50 |
| sagaci | sure | 11:02 |
