[18:54] philipballew: ping [18:57] Gareth, ping [18:58] Feel as though you were looking for me recently...last few days? Thought I saw my name hilight. [19:01] yeah, I was informed I am soupposed to have a scale email address, and secondly, we need to get a due date for the kids papers. I was unsure if you needed to make a date,or what me. I was gonna say mid January. But you would need to put a date on the site and stuff like that. [19:02] philipballew: ahh. right. okay. I'll put in the request for an email address. Are you comfortable with mid january for the deadline? what dates specifically? [19:02] date rather. [19:03] hum, well I figure that date would work, i don't really see myself turning down anyone wanting to talk.Even if I get a few talks after the date and there is room I would throw them in I guess. [19:04] * philipballew looks at calender [19:04] January 18th is a Friday, that would work so I can approve the talks on the weekend. [19:05] so January 18th. [19:06] Sure, what do you think? [19:07] works for me. [19:09] perfect. I can look over the talks on the next Saturday afternoon. [19:09] For the event page, this was the page we used last year. Anything you want to add or change? I tweaked it a bit so far just to change the wording since its the second year of the event. [19:09] link? [19:09] http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/scale-next-generation [19:09] Title: [SCALE: The Next Generation | SCALE 10x - 2012 Southern California Linux Expo] [19:10] yeah, that sounds perfect. I like it a lot. [19:10] That scavenger hunt. Was that good last year, or should we talk about something else there? [19:11] Okay cool. [19:11] the scavenger hunt didn't happen....we did the organized tour of the exhibit floor, which worked really well. [19:12] I'll probably just get as many talks as I can, then go fro there [19:12] ah [19:12] the scavenger hunt was just a random idea I tossed out to the list. It didn't stick. If you have an idea how it could work, by all means. [19:13] If I do not get enough time slots to fill the track, then we can do something like that I guess. [19:16] Okay. [19:18] My goal will be to get all slots filled with talks if I can. but thats jut a goal. [19:18] So once your email is setup, we can ask the PR group to include a mention of the call for presentations, have them emailed to you. Sound good? [19:19] perfect. === mikestewart is now known as mikestewart|afk [23:06] Hello akk [23:06] whoa, he lives!

As well as knock-off HK stores [23:24] bkerensa_, I'll be sure to give them my blessings. [23:24] Canadian? [23:24] Are we gonna have to speak slowly again? [23:24] * MarkDude kids :D [23:24] MarkDude: yeah the closet person we have is out of Toronto so she will be flying down [23:25] well we have someone in LA but she doesnt want to own the event [23:25] and I dont want to go [23:25] :) [23:25] Too much work to be done now with new role handling Community Management for Thunderbird x.x [23:25] its ok. SMOG [23:26] The wine? [23:26] * MarkDude kids again [23:26] * MarkDude is thinking of doing the Mozilla Rep thing [23:26] MarkDude: so next year were throwing a OSCON party for real this time right?

[23:30] Seamonkey, FTW! [23:31] Fedora is supposed to do ok on Pi, but with some setup hassles. [23:31] It's so funny that seamonkey has always been so much faster than firefox [23:31] * MarkDude plans letting the smart folks get it going, and bringing them food while they do [23:31] considering that the whole original point of firefox was supposed to be seamonkey without the bloat. [23:33] * MarkDude just installed Mint 14 the other day- with MATE [23:33] Good stuff [23:34] * MarkDude could not get Handbrake to work with other Distros. Decided I needed something that*just worked*\ [23:37] bkerensa_, what booth are you working this time? [23:37] if you were going? [23:37] philipballew: Mozilla's booth [23:38] ah, so I can place a cardboard cutout of you there?
