[05:54] pleia2: do you think walking from Jack London Square to City Center would be safe enough? [05:54] :) [06:00] I don't really know a whole lot about Oakland [06:00] I've only gone there at night once, and it was a little scary :) [06:00] * pleia2 usually goes during the day [06:01] I think daytime is probably fine though [06:03] ok [06:04] * bkerensa was going to catch AC Transit but I got two suitcases so I dont think that will work well ;p [06:04] heh, yeah, that would be fun [06:05] coming in Sunday? [06:06] pleia2: Yeah should be in at Amtrak by 8am [06:06] nice [06:07] They said we had to arrive by Sunday afternoon [06:07] so yeah thats the best I could do :D [06:08] I usually wandered in in the evening, generally can't check in until 3PM anyway and there aren't planned events on Sunday for community people (Canonical usually has an event) [06:09] ideas have been floated for an event that evening for community people since it ends up being a little awkward to show up and have nothing to do, but nothing really stuck [06:09] lol [06:09] :D [06:10] well I have friends in Oakland and SF so I'm sure ill find something to do [06:10] yeah :) [06:10] I just hope I can talk the hotel into storing my luggage until check-in [06:10] shouldn't be a problem [06:10] good stuff :) lugging it around SF wouldnt be so fun [06:10] haha, yeah [06:11] I think ill use the opportunity to go to Chinatown and try to find to Coconut Candy for my grandmother [06:11] :) [06:11] there you go :) [06:13] I'll be wandering around with some people on Sunday, gonna try to get someone to go on the cable car with me [06:13] I mean, take some visitors on the cable car [07:18] monday monday monday! [07:35] gua, ITs Saturday! [07:36] philipballew: happy cinco de mayo [07:36] but the UDS of UDSes starts mondayy wooo WOOO [07:36] gonna get some steam, gonna get some juju [07:50] hm getting an error message from 4 browsers trying to register for UDS "OpenID discovery error: Error fetching XRDS document: (60, 'server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt')" [08:05] gua, have you tried turning it off and on again? [08:06] philipballew: i need to break into the canonical.com datacenter to do that [08:06] that will take a while [08:10] good point [08:10] in the mean time. wanna come to san diego to help me move! [08:10] woo! [08:10] Its happening right now!!! [08:10] that is far [08:11] ooh real time [08:11] yet Ill be at uds sunday [08:11] aww sunday, that's the end :( [08:11] google maps says san diego is 484 mi, 8 hr 3 min away from my current location [08:12] a guy in #launchpad forwarded me to #canonical-sysadmin so i think the right people will be made aware of the issue [08:13] or it's just me [08:13] i gotta print out the sessions and check off what i want to make sure to attende [08:14] yeah, where you live? [08:14] walnut creek area [08:15] i don't make it to the LUGs as much as i'd like. the few i tried to go to i couldn't find people meeting there [08:15] dangit there are a ton of neat tracks going on at the same time [08:19] gua, nice. Ive never been there. [08:20] it's pretty nice. a really packed downtown with a ton of stores/restaurants. [08:21] I grew up in auburn. opposite [08:24] ah wow yeah. bit north [08:25] wait [08:25] i don't think there is uds stuff on sunday [08:26] no, i just check in them [08:31] hm http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/ says monday to friday [08:32] maybe there's a super secret extra days only for insiders [08:34] alright about late enough, gnite [14:16] whooo!!! two hours of sleep!!!! [16:07] hi philipballew [16:07] :D [16:07] gua: I let Canonical's sysadmins know yesterday [16:07] :P [16:08] philipballew: on Sunday we have to find informal fun stuff to do [16:08] * bkerensa will be heading to Chinatown in SF if you car to attach :D [16:11] gua: there aren't super secret days, philip is getting there early because he's traveling to attend, so needs somewhere to sleep before monday morning :) [16:11] well, there are sprints that Canonical employees do before UDS, but that's not for us [16:13] are there any uds-related-in-any-way events today or tomorrow? [16:13] nope [16:15] ok [16:16] DonkeyHotei: not officially [16:16] But if anyone wants to tag along to SF Chinatown or something I am going tomorrow [16:19] SF-LUG is tomorrow [16:20] if anyone is looking for an unofficial event, idk what would be more fitting [16:21] DonkeyHotei: where is it held at? [16:21] 26th & geary [16:21] Hmm [16:22] Maybe I will come [16:22] doesnt the 38 Muni go up there? [16:22] yes [16:22] Mmm and there is Chinese Food and Indian across the street [16:25] i don't think they allow outside food [16:27] Oh I mean after :D [16:27] or Before [16:29] ah [16:59] bkerensa: just in case you haven't found it, http://www.sf-lug.com/ [17:01] kk [17:02] Is there any way to track changes to the UDS schedule? Like, if I go through the schedule now and figure out what I want to go to, how do I find out if something new gets added or something gets moved? [17:03] unfortunately not [17:03] i hadn't thought of that when i imported the ical file into google calendar [17:03] Okay, I won't bother reading beyond Wednesday morning for now. [17:03] i marked "attending" sessions only for monday [17:14] * bkerensa has checked many attendings but there is the possibility for changes on the fly [17:14] :D [17:15] I checked some attendings but then I started getting irrelevant email and wondered why I was checking things. [17:15] ;0 [17:15] nice day out today :) [17:25] Yeah I hear 80's tomorrow and 70's for the rest of the week [17:26] Cool and windy here so far this morning. [17:27] in the mid 60s and sunny here so far [17:27] Here too, but for San Jose that's pretty cool ... especially with the chilly wind. [17:28] * akk is spoiled after a few really nice spring days [18:21] ok everyone see you in Oakland... I am on my way out the door [18:21] Bon Voyage [18:21] have a safe trip :) [18:22] what, is he leaving oregon only now? [18:23] Sure, sounds about right to me. [18:24] A relaxed 2-day trip or a long 1-day trip followed by time to decompress. [18:24] i thought he was already here [19:20] http://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2012/ [19:21] 2 weeks, who is going? Maker Faire Bay Area May 19 & 20, 2012 [19:37] Oh, wow, Maker Faire is during the eclipse? Wonder if they're going to have people hanging around and watching it. (Sunday afternoon, starts at 5:17.) [19:37] I may head out of town to get closer to the centerline, not sure yet. [19:40] i don't want to spend the money [19:58] $15 for one day? [19:58] Pack a lunch [19:58] not that interesting atm [19:58] Ok, well dont go [19:58] :P [19:59] One of these days Im haiving a Beefy Miracle Geeknic [19:59] Maybe that will be interesting [20:01] that i'd go to [20:01] cool [20:14] ty bkerensa and pleia2 [20:24] "Please specify the group or Company you are representing" hmm [20:25] Agreed, DonkeyHotei, it is expensive. [20:26] gua: "self" ? [20:26] i put Ubuntu [20:27] akk: I was thinking that, but "I will be representing myself" sounds kind of big-ego-ish heh. But yeah that sounds good. [20:29] I usually put * or . or something on forms that are rude enough to insist. [20:29] haha [20:29] But self is a pretty standard thing to put. [20:30] ah, good to know [20:30] I have a couple of fake company names I use if a form absolutely insists on a company name and doesn't accept punctuation. [20:30] Or there's always World, or The Universe, or Humanity. :) [20:30] or Every Decent-Thinking Person. [20:33] Yeah I gotta have some backup custom company names for things like this [20:34] Global TechBioCompuQuad [20:35] I've seen worse ... on real companies. :) [20:35] (definitely not to be confused with Local TechBioCompuQuad) [20:36] Yeahh, for kind of smaller companies their names can get so bad [20:36] So many startups pick a name that's super general ... people think "I want a company, and I don't really care what it does" and name accordingly. [20:37] Global Innovative Solutions, Inc. Things like that. [20:38] Hah that's pretty bad. Well whenver I've gotten into the depths of trying to come up with a name I liked for something, I do notice that if I wasn't so used to "Google" or "Amazon" and similar I probably wouldn't think they're very good names. [20:39] Woo success "UDS Registration: CONFIRMATION" [20:39] Hmm, I don't think I ever got one of those. Should I worry? [20:39] Is it email? [20:40] Can I check whether I'm registered on launchpad or somewhere? [21:04] akk: If you got forwarded to launchpad.net it has it as some kind of a sprint thing [21:05] akk: And I don't think you should worry since it just says email if you want to change any part of your registration info [21:05] And yeah it was an email [21:06] But now you have me wondering -- if I show up and they say I'm not preregistered, is it a problem? [21:07] Nope [21:07] Just means you may not get a shirt [21:07] That I don't know. I'm not even 100% that you have to register but there's lots of language on the UDS site that encourages registering, so I went ahead and di it [21:07] Ah, there's an email address to contact if I didn't receive the registration mail. [21:07] * akk mails it [21:07] Oh nice, I was wondering if the size question meant I'd get a shirt :D [21:07] its nice to, but not needed- technically [21:08] Especially since you are akk [21:08] Your name proceeeds you ;) [21:08] Yours is positive, [21:08] * MarkDude 's is more oh, that a**hole [21:08] :D [21:09] let em in [21:09] Better to be known than not known :P [21:09] Well that I am, but not maybe what I would like to be for [21:09] I doubt the UDS establishment has a clue who I am. :) [21:10] does it matter? [21:10] * MarkDude is willing to take bet you have a high recogintion akk, at least for your blog [21:11] Sn9, no of course it does not, Everyone that helps out is helpful, and part of a team :) [21:11] The registration page says you have to register. [21:11] There seem to be lots of different registration pages, though ... I probably used the wrong one. [21:11] Of course it would [21:11] Hm [21:12] I used https://forms.canonical.com/udsreg/ [21:12] i used the link from http://uds.ubuntu.com [21:13] For me that one forwarded to the canonical.com link [21:13] Clicking the button that is [21:15] Its more fun to go to an event, and act like Ron Burgundy [21:15] I used http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ but I got different forms the two times I went to it [21:16] Do you know who I am , Idont know how to say this, but Im kindof important :D [21:16] (the first time I got a form that had mandatory fields like flight arrival times and passport number, second time it didn't have those) [21:16] * MarkDude hopes his badge says company:Beefy Miracle [21:17] I just said I was already here, and leaving in dec [21:18] On pleia2's suggestion I copied the times from https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-q for my arrival/departure times [21:18] even though I'm not really sure even what that page is :) [21:19] akk: It might be you selected "remote" one time and "in person" in the other [21:19] The calendar only shows up if you do the in person one. [21:19] I don't think it ever presented me with either of those options. [21:20] It may have jumped to conclusions based on somethingorother. [21:20] I just said I'd arrive two days before it began and arrive two days after in the afternoon each time [21:20] I'm sure I never chose "remote" ... and anyway, if I were remote why would I need a passport number? [21:20] Remote is the default one [21:21] Not sure about passport, only field like that I saw was a thing asking if you needed a visa or not to attend [21:21] Ah, passport expiry date, not number (checking my logs). [21:22] Anyway, the registration form pretty clearly doesn't like me at all and doesn't want me to go to UDS. [21:22] Hopefully Marianna will feel differently. [23:00] :) [23:01] bkerensa-droid: where are you now? [23:01] Uhh on tracks in fields somewhere [23:02] what? [23:02] About two hours south of portland but Amtrak is travelling way offthe beaten path [23:03] ah [23:03] when is your arrival? i'm assuming you're getting off in either oakland or emeryville [23:04] I arrive in Oakland at 8:30 eta [23:04] Omg llamas [23:04] llamas live off the beaten path? [23:04] Train just passed a huge llama farm [23:04] hehe [23:05] * pleia2 adds llama item in pluses "reasons to go to portland by train" [23:05] +column [23:06] Im apparently neat a town called Wren [23:07] Pleia2: so far this has been a fun trip [23:09] Bbl [23:52] pleia2: are you commuting back and forth daily for UDS? [23:55] why wouldn't she be? it's about five minutes by rail [23:55] ok, maybe ten [23:55] exactly three stops [23:56] she'd get on at montgomery, next stop is embarcadero, next is west oakland, and then she'd get off at 12th street
