| bkerensa | Gareth: pong | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Gareth | bkerensa: hey. any updates on Mozilla? | 00:40 |
| Gareth | re: SCALE. | 00:40 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: No the discussion stalled out.... I would bet its probably not going to happen... basically the local person didn't want to own a booth and I offered but I think the decision maker just got to busy to approve it and I let him know at this point I couldnt commit on such short notice. | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 00:43 |
| raevol | Gareth: scale proposals are for talks? | 00:50 |
| Gareth | Yup. | 00:50 |
| raevol | i'm kicking around proposing a talk on gaming in general and www.openmw.org in particular | 00:51 |
| Gareth | Gaming would be good. especially with recent Valve news and other developments. | 00:51 |
| raevol | yea | 00:51 |
| Gareth | bkerensa: thats disappointing. I've tried to get Mozilla to the show for the past 5 years and every year they bail. | 00:52 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 00:52 |
| Gareth | bkerensa: whose the local person? | 00:54 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: a lady named Joanna Masgaj | 00:55 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: I do not know her personally but she is out of Pasadena | 00:55 |
| bkerensa | I think thats close by? | 00:55 |
| Gareth | yeah. not far from the venue. she works for Mozilla or just a volunteer? | 00:55 |
| bkerensa | let me check our Phonebook | 00:56 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: she appears to be a volunteer but works for Aviary | 01:17 |
| Gareth | Yeah. i saw that. | 01:18 |
| Gareth | sympathic to the volunteer thing, but if you don't wanna go to an event thats literally in your backyard to represent the organization that you're supposed to be repping. Something wrong there :) | 01:19 |
| Yasumoto | Gareth + bkerensa: i <3 mozilla but oh man :-X | 01:42 |
| Gareth | Yasumoto: You know what I'm talking about. How many months did we try to spend having phone calls and email exchanges with them? | 01:54 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: I am going to reach out to Mary Colvig who leads Marketing/Comm for Mozilla and try and get this sorted | 02:03 |
| bkerensa | I think it sucks too | 02:03 |
| bkerensa | :) | 02:03 |
| Gareth | Cool. Good luck. was in contact with Mary before. | 02:04 |
| Gareth | bbl | 02:04 |
| Yasumoto | yep, many calls with Mary, who's pretty awesome :) | 02:07 |
| Yasumoto | stepping out too, later | 02:08 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: So looks like the talk on Scale has sprung | 08:24 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: I CC'ed you to the convo on our mailing list | 08:24 |
| Gareth | bkerensa: awesome. thanks :) | 16:13 |
| Gareth | bkerensa: see a few questions in here. want me to respond to you with the answers then you can pass them along? | 16:35 |
| kdub | anyone know of the best tool for ebook creation/publishing on linux? | 19:42 |
| akk | kdub: The only one I've found is Sigil. There's no Ubuntu package, though. | 20:08 |
| akk | wikipedia claims it's the only open-source app that can edit epub. | 20:09 |
| akk | It's decent, though. | 20:09 |
| kdub | hmm, i'll give it a shot! thanks akk :D | 20:09 |
| akk | http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ | 20:09 |
| darthrobot | Title: [sigil - The EPUB Editor - Google Project Hosting] | 20:09 |
| akk | I use ebook-convert (from calibre) a lot for converting among formats, but that won't help you actually change things. | 20:10 |
| akk | Or create a new book. | 20:10 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: sure you can e-mail me any responses | 22:59 |

| pleia2 | I don't know, sorry | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | maybe contact the organizer? | 23:24 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: Since they have asked me to write up a budget request | 23:53 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: I will go ahead and inform you on behalf of Mozilla that we will confirm our interest in that booth | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:54 |
| Gareth | Ah excellent! :) | 23:54 |
| * bkerensa now has to figure out travel costs for the reps and send the budget in | 23:54 | |
| bkerensa | Gareth: I might even add myself in and fly down idk yet... its a real busy period right now for me | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:54 |
| Gareth | That would be cool if you can make it. | 23:57 |
| bkerensa | Gareth: if not this time definitely soon or next time :) I have to go out to Indiana soon to do a USA Reps Meetup | 23:58 |
| bkerensa | they were like why dont you guys have a meetup... and I was like uhh the closest rep to me is in the midwest :) | 23:59 |
