| s-fox | Hello. | 08:19 |
| === daker is now known as daker_ | ||
| head_victim | Any extra membership board members floating around? We can do with one more in -meeting currently if anyone has spare time. | 10:11 |
| s-fox | hey head_victim | 10:12 |
| head_victim | Gday s-fox | 10:13 |
| s-fox | i can grant ubuntu membership via forums contributions if that counts head_victim | 10:13 |
| head_victim | s-fox: hmm, I don't actually know if that counts | 10:13 |
| s-fox | :) | 10:13 |
| s-fox | brb | 10:14 |
| s-fox | Back | 10:17 |
| head_victim | s-fox: as we can't be sure that it qualifies we'd like to err on the side of caution. Unless someone is able to confidently say one way or another. | 10:24 |
| s-fox | head_victim, as you wish. | 10:28 |
| head_victim | s-fox: sorry mate, just being a different type of board (for example, I don't think I'd be a good judge of forum contributions). But, I do believe there is a call for applicants for the newly structred membership boards. | 10:29 |
| s-fox | The regional membership boards have been restructured head_victim ? | 10:31 |
| head_victim | In the process of | 10:32 |
| s-fox | Ah, I see. What has prompted the change? | 10:33 |
| head_victim | The fact that some boards are struggling to reach quorum. | 10:33 |
| s-fox | Hmm, I recall my membership application to a regional board was pretty seamless. I guess I was fortunate. | 10:35 |
| s-fox | So you are looking for new board members? | 10:36 |
| head_victim | s-fox: they're moving to having 2 boards, one that meets at 1200 UTC and another that meets at 2200 UTC | 10:46 |
| s-fox | Yes I was just reading head_victim . Considering putting an application in. | 10:46 |
| head_victim | s-fox: go for it :) | 10:54 |
| s-fox | head_victim, Thanks, I shall :-) I mean I know I am focused on forum stuff but I do other things elsewhere in the community, as well as have a pretty good relationship with most other community leaders | 10:56 |
| head_victim | s-fox: you sound like a great candidate :) | 11:05 |
| s-fox | head_victim, I've been around for a bit, lol ;) | 11:05 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 11:06 |
| s-fox | But hobgoblin should go for it | 11:06 |
| hobgoblin | ... | 11:06 |
| s-fox | My mentor taught me a lot of things | 11:06 |
| s-fox | haha | 11:06 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 11:06 |
| hobgoblin | he would say thanks - but he'd have toget up | 11:07 |
| head_victim | Yeah, I like it because I'm the sort that has also been around a while but I can't really contribute on a technical level. So community contribution is right up my alley | 11:16 |
| hobgoblin | there aremany of us like that head_victim ;) | 11:17 |
| s-fox | head_victim, started my application process \o/ | 14:21 |
| MrChrisDruif | Canonical Community Team meeting suspended to next week I presume? | 15:09 |
| Pici | very likely. | 15:10 |
| AlanBell | you can pop into #ubuntu-uds-room-202 nowish to find them though | 16:00 |
| AlanBell | icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/room-202.ogg.m3u for audio | 16:01 |
| pleia2 | MrChrisDruif: where are you seeing the CC meeting? | 16:02 |
| pleia2 | (there was one last week, not this week) | 16:03 |
| AlanBell | community team not community council | 16:03 |

| hobgoblin | can someone tell me how to get my name on the list on the etherpad thing - put name in box and top and enter does nothing | 16:05 |
| czajkowski | did you hit enter? | 16:05 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | czajkowski: then nothing happens | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | no matter | 16:07 |
| pleia2 | hobgoblin: forestpixie is in the list | 16:07 |
| hobgoblin | oh | 16:07 |

| * hobgoblin assumes it's IRC | 16:08 | |
| hobgoblin | thanks pleia2 - I was going mad | 16:08 |
| czajkowski | it's day 2 and the crazyness has already thought about | 16:10 |
| jussi | So how is UDS going for all - anything interesting I need to be updated on so far? (saw marks keynote, been out/asleep most of the rest :/ | 16:21 |
| balloons | jussi, I would say it's in full swing :-) | 16:27 |
| balloons | you can see the schedule -- not sure what may be interesting to you.. blueprint watching is always fun | 16:27 |
| * cjohnston assigns work items to jussi | 16:37 | |
| jussi | hah! | 16:38 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Hey bilal | 16:57 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | Sup daker_ ? | 19:13 |
| daker_ | IAmNotThatGuy> daker_, idk why the US embassy is acting that way :[ | 19:13 |
| czajkowski | daker_: what reason were you given? | 19:13 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Mine is Low salary :| | 19:14 |
| czajkowski | was it possibly a red falg for them to see a new passport and then a visa application ? | 19:14 |
| daker_ | yeah maybe | 19:14 |
| daker_ | czajkowski: he told me where i am going, and if it's the first time to travel | 19:15 |
| daker_ | and gave him the letter | 19:15 |
| daker_ | then he starts typing on the keyboard | 19:16 |
| daker_ | i think he looked at the website u.u.c | 19:16 |
| daker_ | czajkowski: then he told me that they don't delivere visa at this time, and he gave a letter. | 19:18 |
| JanC | daker_: my guess is that you coming from the "wrong" part of the world is also relevant... | 19:18 |
| daker_ | i don't know :) first and last time to apply for a us visa | 19:19 |
| czajkowski | and a new passport | 19:19 |
| daker_ | czajkowski: well everything is new :) | 19:20 |
| JanC | czajkowski: if you or I had a new passport they wouldn't care so much | 19:20 |
| JanC | international politics certainly play a role | 19:21 |
| JanC | which is somewhat understandable, but still not fair | 19:21 |
| JanC | daker_: does Morocco exchange intelligence info about its citizens to the US? | 19:22 |
| daker_ | JanC: not sure, but i think 99% they do :) | 19:23 |
| daker_ | JanC: my opinion VISA # Freedom | 19:23 |
| JanC | of course visa aren't about freedom | 19:25 |
| JanC | they are about the exact opposite ;) | 19:25 |
| JanC | it's like a password | 19:26 |
| daker_ | yeah maybe | 19:26 |
| JanC | if you have the secret sign, you may enter :P | 19:26 |
| JanC | I guess it's one of the disadvantages of having UDS in the US... | 19:27 |
| daker_ | 100% right | 19:28 |
| daker_ | JanC: the other disadvantage is TZ | 19:28 |
| daker_ | i can only attend the sessions of the morning | 19:29 |
| JanC | I heard it's 50% cheaper than in Europe, and they get better service from the venue for that price, which in current times is also relevant of course | 19:29 |
| hobgoblin | was more or less what I heard too JanC | 19:29 |
| JanC | probably there are too many conference venues in the US so they have to fight for customers ;) | 19:30 |
| JanC | in many parts of Europe there aren't enough (large) conference centers, so they can almost ask what they want | 19:32 |
| JanC | that's why FOSDEM is so lucky to be able to use the ULB university infrastructure | 19:33 |
| czajkowski | daker_: JanC same can be said when uds is in EU folks otuside of there find timezones hard | 19:34 |
| czajkowski | never going to please everyone | 19:34 |
| JanC | timezones will always be an issue of course | 19:35 |
| JanC | and are more or less unsolvable | 19:35 |
| czajkowski | indeed | 19:35 |
| czajkowski | so dont know why people always give out about them | 19:35 |
| JanC | well, if UDS rotates between locations, that makes things easier for different people around the world | 19:36 |
| JanC | so that complaint is valid, but it's not something you can change about 1 particular venue | 19:37 |
| hobgoblin | disappointment at missing things perhaps czajkowski - who knows without asking | 19:37 |
| czajkowski | hobgoblin: yes but nothing can be done either | 19:37 |
| hobgoblin | nope | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | uds does rotate | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | bar this time | 19:38 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 19:38 |
| JanC | to some degree | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | but it does usually but the olympics has messed up a lot of the EU with flights and costs | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | also don't forget a lot of planning goes into a uds | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | you need a venue { } large | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | and available for accommodation and hosting usually availabe for 1-2 weeks | 19:39 |
| JanC | only once in Australia and never in Asia or Africa (which has reasonable reasons too) | 19:39 |
| czajkowski | costs | 19:39 |
| czajkowski | flights | 19:39 |
| czajkowski | visas | 19:39 |
| hobgoblin | all of which shut it more or less all away from me :) | 19:39 |
| czajkowski | hobgoblin: the same could be said if it goes to X 100 people may say no can do cost/flights/visa et | 19:40 |
| czajkowski | nobody is every happy | 19:40 |
| czajkowski | :/ | 19:40 |
| czajkowski | but it has come on a long way to make remote particpation good | 19:40 |
| hobgoblin | I know - I'm not complaining - can understand why others do :) | 19:40 |
| JanC | I know almost for sure we can get a cheap, large venue and no issues with venues when UDS is in Vietnam... ;) | 19:40 |
| daker_ | czajkowski: right now remote particpation is not good (TZ) | 19:41 |
| hobgoblin | czajkowski: I agree with that - this yeat I can hear :) | 19:41 |
| JanC | no issues with visas | 19:41 |
| daker_ | JanC: right | 19:41 |
| daker_ | in north africa too | 19:41 |
| JanC | but then travel gets expensive probably | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | yup | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | and long | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | anwyays | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | I've to get back to other stuff | 19:42 |
| JanC | daker_: how easy is it to get visa for a conference in Morocco? | 19:42 |
| JanC | (for those who would need one) | 19:43 |
| daker_ | i have no idea but i don't thing it's like the US | 19:43 |
| JanC | I know in Vietnam you buy a visum at the airport when you arrive ;) | 19:44 |
| daker_ | JanC: http://www.learn4good.com/travel/morocco_visa.htm#req | 19:46 |
| JanC | so basically, you just have to show a reservation in a hotel? ;) | 19:48 |
| daker_ | JanC: just your passeport | 19:49 |
| JanC | I mean, for visitors from those countries that aren't exempt from a visum | 19:50 |
| JanC | having a hotel reservation for the period involved seems to be enough to get a tourist visum | 19:50 |
| daker_ | and return Ticket i think | 19:51 |
| JanC | (which is probably easiest to get) | 19:51 |
| JanC | yeah, probably | 19:51 |
| JanC | if it's that easy in practice too, that should be easy | 19:52 |
| JanC | cost 16 GBP though | 19:52 |
| JanC | daker_: I'm not sure if Morocco is known as an international conference venue? | 19:54 |
| daker_ | JanC: Morocco = Tourism | 19:55 |
| JanC | yeah, sometimes that goes together | 19:55 |
| JanC | but are there many conference centers available? | 19:57 |
| JanC | and don't forget, UDS has become *big* ;) | 19:57 |
| daker_ | yes, we can find :) | 19:58 |
| JanC | I wonder how many people are at UDS right now ☺ | 20:01 |
| daker_ | about 300, not sure... | 20:03 |
| JanC | hm, I think there were more in the past? | 20:03 |
| JanC | (and I think the Linaro conference is also there?) | 20:04 |
| JanC | anyway, I'm gone for an hour or so... | 20:05 |
| daker_ | http://summit.linaro.org/ | 20:05 |
| AlanBell | It seems bigger than it was a couple.of years ago | 20:43 |
| JanC | AlanBell: I seem to remember a number of around 300-400 for UDS-M, but I might be wrong | 20:57 |
| * MrChrisDruif is envious of everyone @ UDS | 20:59 | |
| daker_ | AlanBell, czajkowski is the plenary streamed http://video.ubuntu.com/live/ ? | 21:00 |
| daker_ | JanC: at leat we are not this list http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/08/slowest-internet-countries_n_1475397.html#s=937184 | 21:08 |
| daker_ | so the internet connexion is good :) | 21:09 |
| s-fox | Hello :) | 21:14 |
| JanC | daker_: actually, I remember 3G being much cheaper in Morocco than in Belgium 5 years ago or so | 21:14 |
| daker_ | the internet here is unlimited | 21:14 |
| JanC | (we used that to put pressure on our local telcos ;) ) | 21:14 |
| daker_ | 8mega 3G 80euro per month | 21:15 |
| JanC | that sounds quite more expensive than it was back then :P | 21:16 |
| JanC | might have been more thanb 5 years actually | 21:16 |
| daker_ | JanC: awe sorry it's ~37.5euro | 21:19 |
| daker_ | for 7,2 Mbps | 21:20 |
| daker_ | 22euro for 3.6 Mbps | 21:20 |
| JanC | well, 2.5G & 3G with 2 GiB data is available at 12 € (data only) or 15 € (data + voice) in Belgium right now (thanks to 1 price-breaking company) | 21:20 |
| JanC | no speed guarantees | 21:21 |
| JanC | by 3G I mean gsm wireless tech | 21:21 |
| JanC | I remember back then they basically charged you 5 € / 100 MiB or so ;) | 21:23 |
| JanC | so nobody used it, unless your company paid for it | 21:23 |
| JanC | nowadays things are much better | 21:25 |
