airurandoany chance you'll make it down to Limerick for skycon12?21:04
zmoylannot likely.  was at one a few years back.  good fun21:05
airurandodid you see the line up for this one?21:05
zmoylanxkcd author randall munroe i think was the big name that registered with me21:06
airurandoyou is a hard man to impress21:08
airurandoI'm curious,21:08
airurandowhat are your thoughts re Ubuntu Ireland.21:09
airurandodon't be too cynical :-)21:09
zmoylanubuntu ireland is a distro.  like a lot of distros it has it's ups and downs.  right now it's going through a down due to unity which is most badly named piece of technology to my mind. uefi may undo all the wrongs with the launch of win8.21:10
airurandovery fair point21:11
zmoylanit will survive simply by having the distro continue.  even if 1-2 folk turn up not at ubuntu meetups but more general linux potd it will survice.21:12
zmoylan*survive21:13
airurandoI just fear that thos down or period of dormancy will kill approved status.  Whether that is important or not is another question.21:13
zmoylanthere is that.  and czajkowski would killl us if that were to happen! :-)21:13
airurando:-)21:14
airurandoin real danger I fear21:14
zmoylanbut even if we cut back efforts to one meetup every 3 months. it might concentrate those that are interested to be there when that happens.  even if one the same 2-3 folk turn up they'd have more to talk about.21:18
airurandoaye21:23
airurandowpuld you propose that on the mailing list?21:23
airurandomy efforts to get a discussion going on the mailing list have thus far failed :-(21:24
zmoylanlet me think about the wording and if i haven't emailed it in the next week poke me till i do it.  memory and fatigue might make me forget.21:24
zmoylannot much interest about at the mo.  summer holidays is always quiet online21:24
airurandothanks21:24

zmoylanor at concerts21:25
airurandoindeed21:25
zmoylanjust as we're about to enter final dungeon.  after which we all should level up and gain more powerful characters.  and when bribery like that fails you know that people are busy.21:26
airurandoha21:27
zmoylansome of us have bought new nerf guns (we use them to solve disputes much quicker than normal arguments) and wanted to give them a shot (pardon the pun)21:29
zmoylan:-)21:29
airurandoas the father of a 6.75 year old boy I am familiar with the world of nerf21:30
zmoylangood fun.  hard to hurt someone with foam darts.  not through lack of trying mind you.21:31
airurando:)21:31
