dakerdholbach, we should implement a visa system now ツ12:40
dakerdholbach, immigration in the reverse way Europe => Morocco12:40
dholbachdaker: is that what is being discussed right now?12:42
dakerdholbach, on fb/twitter/websites yes12:43
dholbachyeah, I can see why - it's just not fair that the vast majority of people on this planet have such a hard time travelling somewhere12:45
dakerdholbach, we can travel to those countries without a visa http://www.elhyani.net/liste-des-pays-sans-visas-pour-les-marocains/12:51

mhall119does the i7 draw more power than the i5 or i3?14:00
popeyno idea14:02
popeyAIUI the i7 has 2nd gen sandybridge GPU14:03
popeywhich isn't obvious14:03
nigelbpopey: "spinning rust" haha14:08
mhall119popey: yeah,  I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the $300 difference14:09
popeyI wanted a laptop I would keep for a fair while14:09
mhall119me too, but I don't do much that's CPU intensive14:09
popeyso went for the most power I could get, most RAM etc14:09
popeyyeah, me neither most of the time, but I am impatient14:10
mhall119and considering I've had my current laptop for 2 years, and only paid $300 for it, that's a big price difference14:10
popeyand when I use VMs and do builds of stuff like unity I dont like waiting :D14:10
popeyyeah, it's not cheap14:10

mhall119bkerensa: cool, I'll have to call them up on that17:21
czajkowskipleia2: thank you for the stickers went down well17:22
pleia2czajkowski: glad to hear it :)17:23
bkerensamhall119: I think they have some sort of process where they ask you to mail your HDD in to confirm Windows is not on it and ship you a new drive etc17:23
czajkowskipleia2: talk tomorrow so shall reference you and the stuff again, already sent a few along today17:23
czajkowskiso hopefully get some more people17:24
czajkowskihad to do a video interview for FSFE :/17:24
czajkowskidid manage to speak slowly even for me17:24
pleia2oh boy17:24
bkerensamhall119: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_refund#Lenovo but you might ask slangasek he buys the lenovos quite a bit17:24
pleia2good luck on the talk17:24
czajkowskidid manage to get a nice comment oin how their marketing doesnt alwayss work or come across well17:24
czajkowskinot sure Sam will thank me for that :)17:24
pleia2hehe17:24
popeyczajkowski: many people there?17:29
czajkowskia good 50-60 today17:30
czajkowskithey exoect a friday type and a saturday type of audience17:30
czajkowskithose who can take time off work and those who wont give up weekends17:30
czajkowskifound out a lot of new projects out there happening17:31
czajkowskisome very cool stuff17:31
czajkowskidid a combination of tweeting/G+ stuff17:32
czajkowskithere is a chinese and large jd in my future after today though.17:33
czajkowskithere was a whole slide on schools of feminism17:35
czajkowskihttp://twitter.com/czajkowski/status/205977641369604097/photo/117:35
pleia2czajkowski: you should believe in equality for women!17:36
pleia2feminism isn't a bad word :)17:37
czajkowskipleia2: i do believe in equality for women17:37
czajkowskiI'm just not gone on that word though17:38
pleia2that's all that "feminism" means17:38
czajkowskihmmm17:38
czajkowski:s17:38
pleia2yeah, it has gotten a bad rap, but we're trying to take it back ;)17:38
jonoequality is a good thing17:43
jonobut I agree that "feminism" has something of a bad reputation, particularly in Open Source17:43
czajkowskipleia2: nods I get that I do.17:43
czajkowskipleia2: but I do know most of me andmy mates over in .ie  just wouldnt be used to calling equality that.17:44
czajkowskijono: evneing17:44
jonohey czajkowski17:44
czajkowskigood lord typo fairy17:44
czajkowskigood evening17:44
popeyczajkowski: so were men allowed or not?17:44
czajkowskishall stick to aloha in future17:45
czajkowskipopey: there was 1 guy there17:45
popeyheh17:45
czajkowskibut I think that was mostly due to his heavily pregnant wife.17:45
czajkowskiI did ask and you wer eright they wouldnt have been encouraged17:45
popeywhich is fine17:46
czajkowskiI borught it up in the panel discssion saying having one type of event where only one gender is allowed to attend doesnt really bode well with me or I think is a good idea17:46
popeyi can see why they do it17:46
jonoit is always a delicate balance17:46
popeymen come along and throw their weight around17:46
popeyand dont "get" the issues mostly17:46
czajkowskiyeah so girl geek dinners work well in that respect17:46
jonoyeah17:47
czajkowskia gentleman is only allowed attend if he is invited17:47
popeyggd you have to be invited don't you?17:47
czajkowskipopey: yup17:47
popey"gentleman" :D17:47
popeydashes all hope of me ever being invited17:47
czajkowskiand that was the arguemtn paula had, she felt if 2 men were in the room today it would have side tracked the talks, which may have happened really depending on the topic17:47
czajkowskiit was recoreded and there was good discussion17:47
pleia2that's how we ran phillychix too, guys could come if they (were brought by|brought) a woman17:47
jonoI think problem is when feminism is enforced in such a way that it tries to eradicate the world of any gender references17:47
czajkowskiglad I went, but am kinda exhausted from talking all day in the heat and day 2 tomorrwo17:48
pleia2but I do enjoy the female-only spaces I'm involved with too17:48
popeyi think its a good thing for that specific type of event17:48
jonoyeah17:48
czajkowskithey were very keen to hear how UW operates as many had bad experiences with lugs17:48
czajkowskiso they were impressed about the CoC17:49
czajkowskias some had never heard of it17:49
czajkowskialso some were wary of irc again thankful we have ops who step in17:49
jonoit is awesome to see the progress UW has made over the years17:49
pleia2I went to a Perl Mongers meeting where they had signs pointing to the "Meeting room" and "Men's room"17:49
pleia2it was not awesome :(17:49
pleia2(this was like, 2 days ago)17:49
jonopleia2, that is insane17:49
czajkowskinods ther ewas someone from mongo db there today and she said she felt she had to change her irc nick to be taken more seriously17:50
jonomy mind boggles that some people struggle with such basic social skills17:50
czajkowskias in not use her first name and use a nick or initials17:50
jonoincredible developers, but the social skills of a 5 year old17:50
pleia2everyone was nice and I'm glad I went, but it started the evening in a dissapointing way17:50
czajkowskiheh17:50
jonopleia2, do you feel that the Open Source landscape for women has improved in the last few years?17:51
czajkowskithe tea pot today was one of the most intersting projects and one I think kids would love to do .17:51
jonoor is it still the same17:51
pleia2jono: it's improved a lot17:51
jonothat's good to hear17:51
czajkowskihttp://www.mztek.org/programs/chi-tek/17:51
pleia2I think part of it is due to a lot more women taking leadership roles throughout communities, so now people actually see women around, plus fewer women are hiding these days (hiding real names, not attending events)17:52
jonoyeah17:52
jonoI think there is something to be said about being loud and proud17:52
jonovisibility encourages others17:52
AlanBellso *thats* why Rain was making a teapot17:52
pleia2it's still not easy to be visible, it was just 2 years ago when I got the last pile of threatening phone calls (fortunately they used a google voice number, so easy to record, block and forward along to authorities)17:53
jonopleia2, are you serious? omg17:53
pleia2but I think my very visible position in Ubuntu *and* Ubuntu Women makes me quite a target17:53
jonowhat I find interesting is comparing these experiences to those of my wife17:53
jonoshe works in technology, but she is the CEO of a small company17:53
jonoso she tends to be in business circles, typically populated by middle to older aged white men17:54
czajkowskipleia2: thats awful I'm sorry yoou had to do that, I have to say I've been fortunate never to experience that kinda lark , do you think perhaps this is something you might see more state side than elsewhere ?17:54
jonoI have not seen similar cases in those circles17:54
jonowhat drives Erica crazy is when someone assumes that she is in PR or Marketing because she is in a business suit17:54
czajkowskijono: more business types I suspect than geeky folsk with nothing  else better to do with their time than harass folks :/17:55
czajkowskijono: oh that would annoy me also17:55
pleia2czajkowski: in this particular instance all of Ubuntu Women was attacked (the channel was invite-only for about a month), we didn't really want to talk about it because they were an attention-seeking group doing the attack17:55
czajkowskiI'm not the most technical minded person but would hate people to assume that17:55
jonoit would be interesting to compare experiences of women in different domains in Open Source (E.g. engineering, business, sales etc)17:56
czajkowskipleia2: :/17:56
pleia2and of course the debian women death threats we got in 2006 and 2008 were sent all over the world: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/03/debian_death_threats/17:56
pleia2(I only got one in 2006, but I was on lists where the guy showed up in 2008 too)17:56
jonosome people are such assholes17:56
pleia2jono: open source certainly has it the worst :) in the business world I don't encounter nearly as many problems (and I'd say no problems if my title is clear up front, if it's unclear I have gotten mistaken for a secretary rather than a sysadmin from time to time)17:57
czajkowskioh this was also another speaker who was interesting even if the concept of wearing clothes that light up depending on your heart beat for social interactions was a bit unusal. http://rainycatz.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/wearable-technology-bootcamp-with-lilypad-arduino-technocamps-aberystwyth/17:58
pleia2adruino dresses are awesome :D17:58
czajkowskiyeah her stuff was a necklace that would flash depending on her heart beat so if she's nervous it flashes more17:58
czajkowskialterting her17:58
pleia2someone near here made a skirt where the lights pointing north lit up17:58
czajkowskiand others as it's bright17:58
* balloons read pleia2's account.. unbelievable17:58
jonopleia2, I don't know why, but I find it strange that a group of rich middle to older aged white executives would be less derogatory than those with an interest in engineering17:59
jonoI guess this just demonstrates my own bias17:59
czajkowskijono: or past experiences17:59
pleia2jono: there is a lot more more accountability and professionalism in the business world dictates respect18:00
pleia2s/dictates/which dictates18:00
jonoczajkowski, probably, one thing I am a little over-sensitive about is people trying to define their social status based upon what I personally consider to be false prophets of success such as money, what car your drive, what clothes your wear etc18:00
jonoczajkowski, as such I think I see a little more of that in that world18:00
jonoI think it is my Northern heritage that gets me in a tizzy over thise18:01
jonothis18:01
jonopleia2, I agree18:01
czajkowskijono: nods, it gives you a differnt view and a perspective to discuss which is good.18:01
jonopleia2, I guess in the business world your reputation is everything, you don't hide behind an avatar of an anime schoolgirl18:01
czajkowskias I pointed out today discussion is always good it leads to ideas and change18:01
jonoczajkowski, indeed18:01
jonoczajkowski, one of the things that I find interesting is observing different types of social prejudice18:02
pleia2jono: right, plenty of trolls just change their name and avatar when they decide to grow up18:02
jonoas an example: when I was a kid and lived in Yorkshire, there was a prejudice with many against those who were successful - for example, my dad started out as a welder and then moved up in the world, and some other folks resented that18:03
jonoas if he "was lucky"18:03
pleia2it's funny, here in the states we have pretty much the opposite prejudice18:03
jonolikewise, one thing I have noticed in California is elements of prejudice against those who don't have a lot...that they are "lazy" and "sponge of the ste"18:03
jonopleia2, indeed18:03
jonoto me this is all the same, just plain ignorance, but my own upbringing makes me sensitive to both sides a little now18:04
czajkowskijono: yes but you can see both sides of the coin18:05
jonoczajkowski, it has been interesting to see the different perspectives18:05
czajkowskinods18:05
jonomy take is the key is being proud that whatever you have or don't have, you gained it honestly18:05
pleia2my family was on and off welfare when I was growing up, my fiance has never lived in poverty, we have some interesting discussions ;)18:06
jonopleia2, that is *exactly* the same as Erica and I18:06
pleia2his view is quite black and white, I always end with "it's more complicated than that!"18:07
jonopleia2, I am sure you are probably the same as me...I will never forget my more frugal child-hood, I think it sealed in some values18:07
czajkowskieven in my family people turn their noses up at the way myself and my sister were brought up, went to college and have careers, which was down to mum and dads influence, where as her brothers kids didnt so it's seen as we're better, when we just did things differently18:07
pleia2jono: yeah18:07
jonoindeed18:08
jonowow, my washing machine just freaked out18:08
czajkowskipeople always have sterotypes, my dad was beaten up for driving a uk car and having an enlgish accent in ireland but yet had lived there 15 years and was working. people judge too easily.18:08
jonostarted slamming around18:08
jonothat was weird18:08
pleia2hehe18:08
IdleOneYou have no idea how delicious a bologna sandwich is until you have gone to bed hungry for a few days/weeks/months...18:08
pleia2czajkowski: the opposite is true on my father's side of the family, but they've since re-accepted me now that I'm successful "in spite of not going to college"18:09
pleia2IdleOne: haha18:09
jonoIdleOne, heh, reminds me of being at uni and not having any money and eating cheap pots of noodles every day for a month and then eating chicken for the firm time18:09
jonoit was like a gift from heaven18:09
czajkowskipleia2: families eh!18:09
pleia2czajkowski: indeed :)18:09

patc1hello, ubuntu 10.04, and probably an issue between xorg, dual screen and kaffeine. Can somebody help me with this please?20:12
IdleOnepatc1: #ubuntu is the support channel. provide some details as to what the issue is when you join there20:14
balloonspatc1, we all love ubuntu, but those folks on #ubuntu are better suited to helping you out :-)20:15
balloonsgl20:15
patc1IdleOne: ok, but I tried... and whatever I've been told was some sort of "install newer ubuntu version!".... not really usefull ;)20:15
balloonspatc1, :-( askubuntu.com and the ubuntuforums.org are also places you may find help20:16
patc1so I thought maybe at the community team I could get some more valuable help ;)20:16
balloonsare you running kubuntu?20:17
balloonsthe #kubuntu channel does user support if so20:17
IdleOneflattery will get you voluntold for Ubuntu work20:17
patc1balloons: OK Thanks. What is this channel dedicated to? I am almost newbie here20:17
balloonshehe, this is an open channel for the greater ubuntu community, and folks specific to seeing that community prosper and grow20:18
patc1IdleOne: no flattery lol... I have no idea where to post my question... Being answered "install newer ubuntu" "repladce 10.04" is simply not usefull tricks in my case.20:19
balloonsin the same way the kernel team cares for the kernel, we care for the ubuntu community20:19
patc1balloons: OK, I understand20:19
AlanBellby sending patches upstream20:19
IdleOnepatc1: #ubuntu is the place to ask.20:19
