| bkerensa | Friday I have to give a talk at OSCON | 00:00 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | I saw :) | 00:00 |
| bkerensa | im super nervous | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | congrats | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:00 |
| greg-g | bah, don't be nervous, I haven't even started writing my presentation for OSCON yet | 00:02 |
| greg-g | I just finished the presentation for tomorrow last night, and the one for thursday just now :) | 00:02 |
| greg-g | and by finished, I mean, started and finished :) | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | I wrote my xubuntu presentation for saturday on the plane last night | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | planes++ | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | all the oscon hotels are booked this late, trying to figure out where I'll stay and nudging portland friends to figure out how to get around ;) | 00:05 |
| greg-g | yeah, I started on the plane and did the last touches (found logos) when I got to the hotel | 00:05 |
| greg-g | :) | 00:05 |
| greg-g | bike | 00:05 |
| greg-g | If I'd have the time to plan a bit more, I would ship/check my bike | 00:05 |
| greg-g | ok, time to go find some dinner, later! | 00:06 |
| pleia2 | enjoy | 00:06 |
| pleia2 | apparently the public transit isn't bad there | 00:06 |
| scientes | ahh, logos, not Logos | 00:32 |
| === izdubar is now known as MarkDude | ||
| MarkDude | Last chance for input on Oreilly books | 01:14 |
| MarkDude | They will be shipped to either phillipballew or scientes unless I hear an ojection tonight | 01:15 |
| nhaines | pleia2: what's the company that does sticker sheets that you like? Do they do keychains too? | 02:37 |
| pleia2 | moo.com | 02:39 |
| pleia2 | (and they have a 30% off sale right now!) | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | I don't think they do keychains | 02:40 |
| akk | Cool -- I didn't know you could get stickers made that cheaply. They're decent quality? | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | they're very nice | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | I've ordered stickers from a few places, these ones hold up well on my laptop | 02:44 |
| akk | I've been wanting tux and wilber stickers -- yay, now I can get my own made. | 02:45 |
| akk | (Always strikes me as weird that nobody makes stickers with the cool cute mascots.) | 02:45 |

| nhaines | pleia2: thanks! A friend of mine was asking about stickers and keychains in the US and I know you love the stickers. :) | 02:50 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, I was gonna have the books sent to scientes or Phillipballew- if we cant send them to you | 02:51 |
| MarkDude | Oreilly books | 02:51 |
| * MarkDude was going to send the list this week | 02:51 | |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: I have reached my quota for holding-on-to-california-stuff so I vote for scientes or philipballew :) | 02:52 |
| MarkDude | Fair enough | 02:52 |
| MarkDude | An email was sent to list to see if there was any interest in Socal | 02:52 |
| MarkDude | None so far | 02:52 |
| MarkDude | Cool- maybe we flip a coin now, altho scientes may be closer | 02:53 |

| epikvision | Anyone else taking the course? | 04:27 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, how hard is it to get from pdx to oscon? | 06:30 |
| bkerensa | philipballew_: LOL OSCON is in PDX | 06:50 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 06:50 |
| bkerensa | oh PDX ... as in the airport? | 06:50 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, yeah, the airport | 06:50 |
| philipballew_ | :) | 06:50 |
| bkerensa | just grab the max and it will take you right to the Oregon Convention Center | 06:51 |
| bkerensa | boom | 06:51 |
| bkerensa | philipballew_: u flying now? | 06:51 |
| philipballew_ | yeah! ditched the bus. | 06:51 |
| philipballew_ | decided Id fly as I got a good deal | 06:51 |
| philipballew_ | and I think im off the tsa's bad flyer list by now | 06:51 |
| bkerensa | lol | 06:52 |
| bkerensa | why not take Greyhound or Amtrak? much cheaper | 06:52 |
| philipballew_ | Its only 30 dollers cheaper with my deal | 06:52 |
| philipballew_ | and amartack is the same price | 06:52 |
| philipballew_ | but seriously, dont tell the tsa to %&$# off because you dont have a bomb. It really slows your travel plans... | 06:55 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 06:58 |
| MarkDude | philipballew_, do you have a badge for OSCON yet? | 07:39 |
| MarkDude | And have you registered for CLS yet? | 07:40 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: philipballew_ is taken care of for OSCON. | 07:42 |
| MarkDude | Right on | 07:43 |
| * MarkDude just noticed I needed to register for CLS | 07:43 | |
| MarkDude | Jono said be there at 7pm | 07:43 |
| MarkDude | am | 07:43 |
| bkerensa | yep | 07:43 |
| * MarkDude will be there at 9 most likely | 07:43 | |
| MarkDude | :D | 07:43 |
| * bkerensa will be there at 7am with nathwill | 07:44 | |
| MarkDude | He's my bf, not my wife | 07:44 |
| MarkDude | :D | 07:44 |
| MarkDude | Nixie will be doing some video at CLS | 07:45 |
| MarkDude | bkerensa, we should do a session at CLS - and see about getting a few from other projects | 07:45 |
| MarkDude | Or do another session on Ruinous compromise | 07:46 |
| MarkDude | And get an Oracle person to beat up on | 07:46 |
| * bkerensa is doining a session at CLS its on the wiki | 07:46 | |
| MarkDude | link? | 07:46 |
| bkerensa | looks like the list got purged | 07:49 |
| bkerensa | either way its first come first serve | 07:49 |
| bkerensa | but the session will be on "Effective Strategies for Growing Open Source Communities" | 07:52 |
| philipballew_ | MarkDude, beating up oracle people is fun. sometimes I go down to their office here and hand out Ubuntu cd's | 08:06 |
| MarkDude | Yes, but if we had Fedora, Ubuntu Suse, and 2 other projects for a discussion | 08:07 |
| MarkDude | The rest writes itself | 08:08 |
| MarkDude | We should see what Lars is doing, as well as Selena Deckelman | 08:08 |
| philipballew_ | You never see anyone saying "Thats it, Im switching to Oracle Linux" | 08:08 |
| philipballew_ | Suse is good | 08:09 |
| MarkDude | Well I had been offered some Oracle money for a picnic | 08:09 |
| philipballew_ | Noone ever offers me money | 08:09 |
| philipballew_ | MarkDude, lives the high life | 08:10 |
| MarkDude | Oracle stole Rhel and made unbreakable Linux | 08:10 |
| philipballew_ | Centos used rhel as well | 08:10 |
| MarkDude | Rh/Fedora people made Unfakeable Linux shirts to say FU | 08:11 |
| MarkDude | thats a community thing more with centos | 08:12 |
| MarkDude | Making a business model is another | 08:12 |
| * MarkDude will have a shirt sent to him to wear at that picnic | 08:12 | |
| philipballew_ | I wear my fedora shirt to bed every night | 08:12 |
| philipballew_ | so basically im in bed with rh | 08:12 |
| MarkDude | We are also looking for money from MS | 08:13 |
| philipballew_ | how | 08:13 |
| MarkDude | For picnics | 08:13 |
| philipballew_ | hum. seems odd that they would want that | 08:13 |
| MarkDude | Well its PR | 08:13 |
| MarkDude | and big companies have money to spend | 08:14 |
| philipballew_ | True | 08:14 |
| MarkDude | many of them need to justify their budget by spending it all | 08:14 |
| MarkDude | otherwise it will be reduced | 08:14 |
| philipballew_ | they should pay my college loans for me | 08:14 |
| MarkDude | Most of the time | 08:15 |
| MarkDude | People only give others money | 08:16 |
| MarkDude | if they can make an article about it, and pat them self on the back - in public | 08:16 |
| philipballew_ | If you can get rh to pay for my lone, ill switch to fedora! | 08:17 |
| MarkDude | it does not quite work that way :0 | 08:18 |
| MarkDude | They pay for *deliverables* | 08:18 |
| philipballew_ | lol, yeah, guess Ill have to keep working at my job | 08:20 |
| philipballew_ | at least its Linux based | 08:20 |
| philipballew_ | I imagine oscon totally has lots of people looking to hire there | 08:20 |

| bkerensa | MarkDude: discussion of Fedora on the #juju channel is slightly off-topic :) | 18:17 |
| MarkDude | Sure | 18:21 |
| MarkDude | maybe the last part | 18:21 |
| MarkDude | not the 1st tho | 18:21 |
| MarkDude | Getting publicity for Distro cooperation on juju | 18:21 |
| pleia2 | booked my flight last night, now just need to figure out where to stay (all the conference rate hotels are booked!) | 18:22 |
| scientes | why i get messages about meetups in pasadena? | 18:31 |
| * scientes is not in LA | 18:31 | |
| pleia2 | the mailing list covers the whole state | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | (as does this channel) | 18:31 |
| MarkDude | Imean having Nixie mention Juju on Fedora in a video would be nice to show how we are ALL freinds :) | 18:36 |
| scientes | agreed | 18:36 |
| MarkDude | The state being a group asa whole is Ubuntu policy | 18:37 |
| MarkDude | they prefer states, that really helps for events like SCALE and stuff | 18:37 |
| * MarkDude likes when the subject indicates what region to make sorting easier | 18:38 | |
| MarkDude | Besides scientes - maybe you should visit Pasadena sometime- there are very nice people there :) | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | +1 | 18:38 |
| scientes | indeed, i've been there before | 18:38 |
| MarkDude | The other great thing about it- is we get more ideas this way- and can see what works well | 18:39 |
| * MarkDude has learned some great ways of doing things from SOCal meetings- I have only read about | 18:40 | |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I have some suggestions | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: please :) | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | I was looking at hotel fifty | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | (not keen on hostels or sharing this trip) | 18:44 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: www.hotels.com/ho169321/econo-lodge-expo-center-portland-portland-united-states/ | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | thats where koolhead17 is staying | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | its not expensive and also very close to the convention center | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | oh wow, super cheap | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | www.hotels.com/ho126213/howard-johnson-portland-airport-portland-united-states/ | 18:46 |
| bkerensa | thats by the airport which is only a 15 minute MAX ride away | 18:46 |
| bkerensa | the MAX goes right to the convention center | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | cool | 18:47 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 18:48 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Hotel Fifty is downtown... not too bad of a trip about 15-20 mins depending on time of day and how you are traveling | 18:48 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:48 |
| bkerensa | The rule of thumb for motels/hotels in Portland is do not book on the following streets: Powell, Division, E Burnside, Sandy Blvd | 18:49 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | traffic? | 18:50 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: if you need any directions or help when you get in town just ping me | 18:50 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: traffic is not so bad in downtown.... but if you get on 84 or I-5 during the afternoon your going to be stuck like chuck :) | 18:50 |
| bkerensa | but if you are flying in you could take the MAX | 18:51 |
| MarkDude | he is correct on I5 and 84 | 18:52 |
| MarkDude | avoid those at ALL costs | 18:52 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: thanks :) | 18:52 |
| pleia2 | I am meeting up with some non-techie friends on Saturday and while they couldn't help with hotels, they have been helpful with public transit | 18:53 |
| bkerensa | yeah its very easy the public transit | 18:55 |
| bkerensa | Zipcar + Public Transit= Why I do not own a car :) | 18:55 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, super stoked for the cool weather you have up there! | 19:45 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, super stoked for the cool weather you have up there! | 19:45 |
| philipballew_ | Only the high 80's!!! | 19:45 |
| pleia2 | philipballew_: coming over tonight? it's 65 here! | 19:47 |
| philipballew_ | pleia2, not sure If I will be able to make it. | 19:54 |
| philipballew_ | Will know for sure soon | 19:54 |
