[02:49] <bkerensa> valorie: you made the news
[02:49] <bkerensa> :D
[02:49] <bkerensa> valorie: http://www.datamation.com/open-source/will-xp-users-shun-windows-8-in-favor-of-ubuntu-1.html
[02:50] <bkerensa> Washington LoCo is mentioned
[02:50] <bkerensa> :D
[03:16] <valorie> nice!
[03:17] <valorie> good criticism, for sure
[03:18] <valorie> we need more people, and I guess it takes people to draw new people
[03:18]  * valorie has zero time for the loco
[03:18] <valorie> http://hint.fm/wind/ is really cool
[03:21] <valorie> you can really see where the big mountains are, in our area
[04:55] <Salt> bkerensa, nice
[04:56] <Salt> but yeah, the deal is no one has stepped up to take things over and get the loco active
[04:57] <Salt> I have way WAY too much on my plate but will support anyone who'd like to
[05:23] <bkerensa> valorie: What I think it that LoCo's as a program need more resources
[05:23] <bkerensa> LoCo's cannot be expected to attract people out of thin air without CD's and material
[05:23] <bkerensa> Oregon was a struggle uphill constantly
[05:23] <bkerensa> Salt: totally understood
[05:25] <valorie> well sure
[05:25] <Salt> yeah, we usually make a decent showing at lfnw, but since that's about it we don't really get new blood
[05:25] <valorie> but the article correctly points out that we are preaching to the choir now
[05:25] <valorie> but you need a bunch of people in order to have fun taking it to the masses
[05:26] <valorie> a few people just get burned out
[05:26] <valorie> "struggle uphill constantly" doesn't sound fun
[05:26] <valorie> I've got enough of that in Real Life
[05:39] <savedjuli> hi
[05:42] <bkerensa> savedjuli: hi
[05:42] <bkerensa> Salt: speaking of lfnw I plan to be there this year :) I will be running a Mozilla booth likely
[05:47] <valorie> cool!
[05:47] <valorie> finally we get ben outta Portland
[05:47] <valorie> :-)
[05:49] <bkerensa> valorie: Yeah I need a break
[05:49] <bkerensa> a break from Ubuntu too
[05:49] <bkerensa> vacay next month
[05:50] <Salt> bkerensa, schweet
[05:51] <Salt> I'll be there at the gslug/ubuntu-wa table
[05:51] <bkerensa> cool
[05:51] <bkerensa> Portland is having a Winter Coders Social in December
[05:51] <bkerensa> so I ordered 5 dozen Firefox Donuts
[05:51] <bkerensa> :D
[05:51] <Salt> sweet
