[00:20] Daviey: do you have a code fix for me [00:21] tsimpson: AlanBell ping [00:21] hi cjohnston [00:22] AlanBell: how does the bot get its information? [00:22] for uds [00:25] really not sure, I am guessing there is some url it polls from summit [00:28] im wondering if its the ical [00:28] might well be [00:29] highly likely looking at the room_ical method [00:47] AlanBell: I just sent you an email [00:47] can you look at that [00:51] I am struggling to find where that link is cjohnston [00:57] I wasnt sure if you knew something I didnt [00:59] the link in the channel topic is fine === dgjones is now known as Guest46466 === head_v is now known as Guest48210 === Guest48210 is now known as head_victim [07:58] gnight folks [08:19] Hello. === daker is now known as daker_ [10:11] Any extra membership board members floating around? We can do with one more in -meeting currently if anyone has spare time. [10:12] hey head_victim [10:13] Gday s-fox [10:13] i can grant ubuntu membership via forums contributions if that counts head_victim [10:13] s-fox: hmm, I don't actually know if that counts [10:13] :) [10:14] brb [10:17] Back [10:24] 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. [10:28] head_victim, as you wish. [10:29] 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. [10:31] The regional membership boards have been restructured head_victim ? [10:32] In the process of [10:33] Ah, I see. What has prompted the change? [10:33] The fact that some boards are struggling to reach quorum. [10:35] Hmm, I recall my membership application to a regional board was pretty seamless. I guess I was fortunate. [10:36] So you are looking for new board members? [10:46] s-fox: they're moving to having 2 boards, one that meets at 1200 UTC and another that meets at 2200 UTC [10:46] Yes I was just reading head_victim . Considering putting an application in. [10:54] s-fox: go for it :) [10:56] 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 [11:05] s-fox: you sound like a great candidate :) [11:05] head_victim, I've been around for a bit, lol ;) [11:06] lol [11:06] But hobgoblin should go for it [11:06] ... [11:06] My mentor taught me a lot of things [11:06] haha [11:06] :) [11:07] he would say thanks - but he'd have toget up [11:16] 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 [11:17] there aremany of us like that head_victim ;) [14:21] head_victim, started my application process \o/ [15:09] Canonical Community Team meeting suspended to next week I presume? [15:10] very likely. [16:00] you can pop into #ubuntu-uds-room-202 nowish to find them though [16:01] icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/room-202.ogg.m3u for audio [16:02] MrChrisDruif: where are you seeing the CC meeting? [16:03] (there was one last week, not this week) [16:03] community team not community council [16:04] pleia2: Im guessing he doesnt mean... what AlanBell said [16:04] oh, sorry [16:04] still asleep :) [16:04] hehe [16:04] hey, is Andrea Grandi at UDS? [16:04] and it's only day 2! [16:04] pleia2: so you just havent woken up yet then :P [16:05] 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] did you hit enter? [16:06] yep [16:06] czajkowski: then nothing happens [16:07] no matter [16:07] hobgoblin: forestpixie is in the list [16:07] oh [16:08] you won't see it [16:08] I don't see me then [16:08] LMAO [16:08] :) [16:08] * hobgoblin assumes it's IRC [16:08] thanks pleia2 - I was going mad [16:10] it's day 2 and the crazyness has already thought about [16:21] 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 :/ [16:27] jussi, I would say it's in full swing :-) [16:27] you can see the schedule -- not sure what may be interesting to you.. blueprint watching is always fun [16:37] * cjohnston assigns work items to jussi [16:38] hah! [16:57] Hey bilal [16:57] daker_, idk why the US embassy is acting that way :[ === ara is now known as Guest25465 === jalcine is now known as jacky === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial === jbicha_ is now known as jbicha [19:12] IAmNotThatGuy: :/ [19:13] Sup daker_ ? [19:13] IAmNotThatGuy> daker_, idk why the US embassy is acting that way :[ [19:13] daker_: what reason were you given? [19:14] Mine is Low salary :| [19:14] was it possibly a red falg for them to see a new passport and then a visa application ? [19:14] yeah maybe [19:15] czajkowski: he told me where i am going, and if it's the first time to travel [19:15] and gave him the letter [19:16] then he starts typing on the keyboard [19:16] i think he looked at the website u.u.c [19:18] czajkowski: then he told me that they don't delivere visa at this time, and he gave a letter. [19:18] daker_: my guess is that you coming from the "wrong" part of the world is also relevant... [19:19] i don't know :) first and last time to apply for a us visa [19:19] and a new passport [19:20] czajkowski: well everything is new :) [19:20] czajkowski: if you or I had a new passport they wouldn't care so much [19:21] international politics certainly play a role [19:21] which is somewhat understandable, but still not fair [19:22] daker_: does Morocco exchange intelligence info about its citizens to the US? [19:23] JanC: not sure, but i think 99% they do :) [19:23] JanC: my opinion VISA # Freedom [19:25] of course visa aren't about freedom [19:25] they are about the exact opposite ;) [19:26] it's like a password [19:26] yeah maybe [19:26] if you have the secret sign, you may enter :P [19:27] I guess it's one of the disadvantages of having UDS in the US... [19:28] 100% right [19:28] JanC: the other disadvantage is TZ [19:29] i can only attend the sessions of the morning [19:29] 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] was more or less what I heard too JanC [19:30] probably there are too many conference venues in the US so they have to fight for customers ;) [19:32] in many parts of Europe there aren't enough (large) conference centers, so they can almost ask what they want [19:33] that's why FOSDEM is so lucky to be able to use the ULB university infrastructure [19:34] daker_: JanC same can be said when uds is in EU folks otuside of there find timezones hard [19:34] never going to please everyone [19:35] timezones will always be an issue of course [19:35] and are more or less unsolvable [19:35] indeed [19:35] so dont know why people always give out about them [19:36] well, if UDS rotates between locations, that makes things easier for different people around the world [19:37] so that complaint is valid, but it's not something you can change about 1 particular venue [19:37] disappointment at missing things perhaps czajkowski - who knows without asking [19:37] hobgoblin: yes but nothing can be done either [19:38] nope [19:38] uds does rotate [19:38] bar this time [19:38] :) [19:38] to some degree [19:38] but it does usually but the olympics has messed up a lot of the EU with flights and costs [19:38] also don't forget a lot of planning goes into a uds [19:38] you need a venue { } large [19:39] and available for accommodation and hosting usually availabe for 1-2 weeks [19:39] only once in Australia and never in Asia or Africa (which has reasonable reasons too) [19:39] costs [19:39] flights [19:39] visas [19:39] all of which shut it more or less all away from me :) [19:40] hobgoblin: the same could be said if it goes to X 100 people may say no can do cost/flights/visa et [19:40] nobody is every happy [19:40] :/ [19:40] but it has come on a long way to make remote particpation good [19:40] I know - I'm not complaining - can understand why others do :) [19:40] I know almost for sure we can get a cheap, large venue and no issues with venues when UDS is in Vietnam... ;) [19:41] czajkowski: right now remote particpation is not good (TZ) [19:41] czajkowski: I agree with that - this yeat I can hear :) [19:41] no issues with visas [19:41] JanC: right [19:41] in north africa too [19:41] but then travel gets expensive probably [19:41] yup [19:41] and long [19:41] anwyays [19:42] I've to get back to other stuff [19:42] daker_: how easy is it to get visa for a conference in Morocco? [19:43] (for those who would need one) [19:43] i have no idea but i don't thing it's like the US [19:44] I know in Vietnam you buy a visum at the airport when you arrive ;) [19:46] JanC: http://www.learn4good.com/travel/morocco_visa.htm#req [19:48] so basically, you just have to show a reservation in a hotel? ;) [19:49] JanC: just your passeport [19:50] I mean, for visitors from those countries that aren't exempt from a visum [19:50] having a hotel reservation for the period involved seems to be enough to get a tourist visum [19:51] and return Ticket i think [19:51] (which is probably easiest to get) [19:51] yeah, probably [19:52] if it's that easy in practice too, that should be easy [19:52] cost 16 GBP though [19:54] daker_: I'm not sure if Morocco is known as an international conference venue? [19:55] JanC: Morocco = Tourism [19:55] yeah, sometimes that goes together [19:57] but are there many conference centers available? [19:57] and don't forget, UDS has become *big* ;) [19:58] yes, we can find :) [20:01] I wonder how many people are at UDS right now ☺ [20:03] about 300, not sure... [20:03] hm, I think there were more in the past? [20:04] (and I think the Linaro conference is also there?) [20:05] anyway, I'm gone for an hour or so... [20:05] http://summit.linaro.org/ [20:43] It seems bigger than it was a couple.of years ago [20:57] AlanBell: I seem to remember a number of around 300-400 for UDS-M, but I might be wrong [20:59] * MrChrisDruif is envious of everyone @ UDS [21:00] AlanBell, czajkowski is the plenary streamed http://video.ubuntu.com/live/ ? [21:08] JanC: at leat we are not this list http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/08/slowest-internet-countries_n_1475397.html#s=937184 [21:09] so the internet connexion is good :) [21:14] Hello :) [21:14] daker_: actually, I remember 3G being much cheaper in Morocco than in Belgium 5 years ago or so [21:14] the internet here is unlimited [21:14] (we used that to put pressure on our local telcos ;) ) [21:15] 8mega 3G 80euro per month [21:16] that sounds quite more expensive than it was back then :P [21:16] might have been more thanb 5 years actually [21:19] JanC: awe sorry it's ~37.5euro [21:20] for 7,2 Mbps [21:20] 22euro for 3.6 Mbps [21:20] 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) [21:21] no speed guarantees [21:21] by 3G I mean gsm wireless tech [21:23] I remember back then they basically charged you 5 € / 100 MiB or so ;) [21:23] so nobody used it, unless your company paid for it [21:25] nowadays things are much better === ara is now known as Guest91336
