[00:12] pleia2, we ask for some books, they gave me the rundown [00:12] Its best to ask for a few too many, there are a few that they cant give based on how new they are, how many left, etc [00:13] The proof they need it a mailing list, or other way to see the group has more than 8-10 people. [00:14] Basically- a lead from a team has to talk to them OR the lead says - talk to this person they are the book person. [00:16] paulproteus, may be a good person to ask for suggestions on books good for tech in general. [00:16] pleia2, the last part of it, is they would like folks to review the books, that helps them. [00:17] * MarkDude has only reviewed the ones he liked [00:17] * paulproteus waves [00:17] Hey paulproteus June 23rd Heather Farms [00:17] Still on my calendar; looks like 75% chance I'll make it [00:34] We will take that, better than no chance :) [00:41] MarkDude: have you been to lucky labs ever? [01:08] Not that I know of bkerensa [01:09] MarkDude: will have to take u when u come... they have home made ginger ale, root beer and beer :D [01:10] Sounds good. We will see what we can do [01:10] lol [01:10] Still need to sort out funding - for made up Distro placing [01:10] ? [01:10] what do you mean? [01:17] Well we were looking at funding this year like we did last [01:17] NOt sure how they will proceed [01:17] * MarkDude may be couchsurfing a bit [01:18] * MarkDude has to go to meet up [02:00] So I went down the hill today [02:00] Stopped at Frys [02:00] news? [02:00] They do in fact have a Ubuntu pc there [02:01] Its runnuing xmbc or whatever it is called as the main attraction [02:01] but has unity and all. [02:01] cool! [02:01] What is xmbc? I couldn't tell from the web page. [02:02] I felt bad for them as the account your logged in has sudo access [02:02] password is frys [02:02] got it on first try with a sudo su command [02:02] akk, its a media player front end [02:03] Ill be posting pictures in my blog tonight probably [02:03] if I can find the time [02:04] password frys= awesome [02:05] haha [02:05] I wanted to see what the manager would say to that and he tole me I was wrong. [02:06] no sir, I use Ubuntu and you do not... [02:07] its 11.10 [02:07] so new enough [02:10] He said you were wrong about what? [02:11] the password. I wanted to see what his response would be. [02:12] Overall they know it was ubuntu and know ubuntu was linux [02:12] so that seems good to me [02:12] just to be clear: what was the point of doing all that? [02:13] That's nice (and surprising) that they know the words ubuntu and linux. [02:21] Because we can I guess [02:21] the manager there said he has tried it and knows about it. [02:21] The bok has a ubuntu circle logo on it as well. [02:22] *box [02:24] Nice to see an ubuntu box sold in a mainstream place, even if it's billed as a special-purpose machine. [03:18] philipballew, if you had sudo why didn't you fix it yourself [03:28] scientes, figured since it was not mine, they might get mad [03:28] sounds like that happened anyway [03:31] They were happy. They showed me it, and were happy to have me look at it. The size is nice and compact [03:31] its one of those small desktops [03:31] would make a good home server maybe [08:05] maas can be so annoying ! [08:40] r3d64r_, how so?
