[01:39] paultag: Hey... What's this I'm hearing about shuttleworth wanting to close development? [02:18] here's the blog post that started it canthus13: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1200 [02:19] it seems there are a few features they want to limit involvement in to just a few committed community members [02:19] that's kinda obnoxious, but whatever. [02:21] his response to some of the comments is something like "there are always things we work on somewhat privately - now we're trying to invite people in to see those features as they start to take shape" [02:23] * canthus13 nods. [02:33] drkokandy, Unit193: want to try to plan something in Mansfield in the next few weeks? [02:33] I'm not here! :P [02:33] I'm here! [02:35] I have a rental car through monday afternoon, but any day in the next few weeks (barring major rainstorm) would work for me. [02:37] through Monday afternoon, I would only be available on Sunday. In the next few weeks, I am out of town 10/25-10/28, but anytime other than that would work for me [02:38] ok, Sunday afternoon/evening would work. Unit193? Any days better/worse for you? [02:40] 21,27 don't work. [02:52] Unit193: any other day of the week generally good for you? [02:52] I'd go case by case, but could be. [02:57] you are very specific Unit193, thank you >_> [02:57] Glad I could help! [03:07] Most Mondays I'm not available, but this Monday night I am. [03:08] Ok, yeah, like I said, barring rain, I'm good whenever. (I *could* get there in the rain, but it'd be super unpleasant for all involved) [03:09] That wouldn't be cool. I'm sure we could reschedule if it rained [03:09] :) [03:10] Unit193: is there any day before the end of the month, other than the days drkokandy is out of town that would be best for you? [03:12] Cheri703: I'm sure there is, I can get back to you on that. [03:13] ok. If not, then we can just schedule one with me and drkokandy, and then the next one try to make fit schedules better. :) Goodness knows we've had enough that were just me and you! [03:14] Yeah, I'm sure you're sick of it already. Not sure a friend could go. [03:14] heh, it's fine [03:14] I don't get out much, so anything is good ;) [03:14] working from home has good and bad things about it >_> [03:15] hermit-ness can fit either category depending on the day [03:47] apparently I'm going to the haunted prison tomorrow night! [03:57] Nice! Not been there, but been past it many times. [03:58] yeah, I did the non-halloween tour a month or two ago, same friend is coming up and doing the "omg scary people" tour tomorrow with some folks, so I'm tagging along. haven't been to a haunted house in probably 8 years. [03:59] random question: Unit193, would your household happen to have a vcr you don't want anymore? [03:59] Only have one working right now, and plenty of tapes. :P [04:00] hehe, ok, just wondering [04:01] Had to get a new dvd player, older one was better. [04:01] I gave the dvd/vcr combo to the husband [04:02] might have to check out the thrift store(s) [04:02] They don't sell them now? [04:03] not JUST a vcr [04:03] dvd players for <$30, but no vcrs [04:07] Unit193: do you think you would know more about your schedule by monday? [04:11] Cheri703: What days would work well this week, or scheduled? [04:11] Any [04:18] Tues is only evening next week. [04:22] Tuesday works for me, at the moment it says 20% chance of rain at 8pm, so...before 8pm :) [04:23] Tuesday would work for me. I could get to Mansfield by 5:30 or 5:45 [04:23] I'd assume you'd rather eve. [04:24] awesome. would 6pm at the Panera in Ontario work? [04:24] for me, sure [04:25] Oh? Thought we were thinking of over closer to you. :P [04:35] we had been, but Panera has wifi and everyone knows where it is. [04:36] no luck finding wifi on your side of town? [04:36] So let's make it official, Tuesday, October 23rd 6pm, Panera in Ontario [04:36] Didn't explore much yet, but honestly? I'm doubtful :/ Mansfield is not exactly a hotbed of technological progress [04:37] gotcha. Panera works for me [04:37] kk [04:37] I'm putting it on my calendar [04:41] Right, lets try not filing it in /dev/null [05:08] Added it to the Loco Calendar [05:09] I'd bet the Mc. D will have wifi once they finish it. :P [05:09] probably, McD's generally do. but they're not nearly as comfy for hanging out in. Panera has a nice selection. bagels, cookies, beverages, sandwiches, etc [05:09] soup
