[03:43] afternoon [07:10] Hmm, doesn't look like there will be much of a meeting tonight [08:19] benonsoftware: I'd be surprised to get much of a turnout on Easter Sunday. We probably should have thought of that. [08:20] Yes [09:05] head_victim, Hopefully I will be at the meeting, but could possibly be late [09:06] jaddi27: Good luck with your membership! :) [09:07] 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 [09:08] I'll add a testimonial to your wiki when I wake up tomorrow :) [09:16] benonsoftware, That would be great. Thanks! [09:16] No problem [09:17] I'm just hoping there'll be quorum, it's possible I may not be there myself this month [09:17] head_victim, Hopefully there will be after the last few meetings [09:31] evening jaddi27 [09:47] hm I can't seem to log into loco.u.c [09:48] Keep getting an openid timeout :/ [09:48] Hah just as I whine it works. [09:50] it's a bit temperamental [09:58] So who's about for tonight's meeting? [09:59] yep [09:59] not much on the agenda [10:00] postpone to May? [10:01] there'll be news after the release, release parties and I'll be on the aeroplane back from UDS [10:02] * benonsoftware is [10:03] i'll blog about it later, since I sorted that out today [10:03] Heh nice work. I keep meaning to apply one of these releases for USD. [10:03] UDS* [10:04] What do they/don't they pay for? [10:05] accommodation and travel [10:05] well that's what you can apply for [10:05] 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] and food each day I guess [10:06] travel was ~1500EUR [10:06] from Tamworth NSW - Sydney - San Francisco and return [10:07] * benonsoftware hopes to attend the UDS is five or so years time :D [10:08] for ubuntu 17.04 LTS [10:08] Could see another one downunder at some stage :) [10:08] One down here would be great :) [10:09] I was hoping that too but it seems to be USA/Europe [10:09] and passport and $14 ESTA [10:10] Yeah [10:11] At least you don't need all the VISA paperwork [10:11] I sign for lots of people's passports but haven't got one myself. [10:11] I was going to ask how hard it was to get a visa [10:11] head_victim, for the US under 90 day visit it's an online form [10:12] Ah ok, I was hearing other people had to do interviews and stuff [10:12] * benonsoftware doesn't have a passport yet [10:12] head_victim: Some countries you do, I know someone who's interview is on the 11th [10:12] that's probably for longer visits [10:12] 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] Australia is part of the visa waiver progra [10:13] Yeah [10:13] Ah, see . All the stuff I have no idea on. [10:13] head_victim, so you also sign birth certificates, etc? [10:14] I certify copies of them lots. [10:14] When I was volunteering at the courthouse I'd often do a hundred or so in a few hours. [10:14] yeah [10:15] I just wanted to get it without any complication, paid the extra $100 for two-day turnaround [10:15] just to be safe... :/ [10:15] Better to be safe then sorry. [10:15] yep [10:16] head_victim, submitting any blueprints? [10:16] Nah my time has really been starting to be drained lately :/ [10:18] I hate files that are corrupt :/ [10:18] benonsoftware: you shouldn't bribe them then ;) [10:18] so we are postponing the meeting? That is fine with me [10:18] starts at something like 2 or 3am anyway [10:18] Well I had a request from someone who contacted me directly as a new team member asking abotu a Melbourne meeting [10:19] I was hoping someone would have some good news on that front but it's appearing unlikely. [10:19] a melbourne release party? [10:19] Any sort of get together is what I think the person was after [10:19] I'll end up pointing them to LUV if it comes to that. [10:20] * benonsoftware hides :/ [10:20] the sydney release party looks pretty healthy [10:20] 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. [10:21] I forgot to make them events on FB so it could get some air time there as well [10:21] I can make events for them on Facebook - it might just not be tonight, depending on my time [10:21] I think that l.u.c and the mailing list are the most effective places [10:22] can't wait... less than two weeks [10:22] sagaci: yep but I try to utilise as many avenues as we have. [10:22] I'll be holding an ubuntu day in July in sydney soon too [10:22] sagaci, We still get quite a few people looking at IRC meetings on Facebook events [10:22] 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) [10:23] jaddi27: yeah I sometimes look and see 50 odd people saying they're goign and 5 turn up :P [10:23] Well I'm heading to bed [10:23] Night all [10:23] benonsoftware: night mate [10:23] benonsoftware, See you later [10:23] head_victim, At least we know they are seeing it though [10:23] jaddi27: yep, that's the plan. [10:28] it'll be interesting to see all these internet people [10:28] Hah "interesting" is one way to say it :D [10:29] head_victim, sagaci: I have created the facebook events now [10:29] be back son [10:29] *soon [10:30] great at least the times should be right [10:35] I should double check the times of the release parties as well [10:38] Hah, both are showing correct on my mobile [10:41] jaddi27: nice work, I just signed up to the Brisbane one. [10:42] Well on that note, I will probably abandon the internet for the evening, tomorrow I start a long drive. [10:45] head_victim, might see you in the meeting channel on tuesday. Have a good trip [10:45] jaddi27, good luck [10:50] sagaci, thanks.
