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