[18:54] <Gareth> philipballew: ping
[18:57] <philipballew> Gareth, ping
[18:58] <Gareth> Feel as though you were looking for me recently...last few days?  Thought I saw my name hilight.
[19:01] <philipballew> 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] <Gareth> 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] <Gareth> date rather.
[19:03] <philipballew> 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] <philipballew> January 18th is a Friday, that would work so I can approve the talks on the weekend.
[19:05] <Gareth> so January 18th.
[19:06] <philipballew> Sure, what do you think?
[19:07] <Gareth> works for me.
[19:09] <philipballew> perfect. I can look over the talks on the next Saturday afternoon.
[19:09] <Gareth> 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] <philipballew> link?
[19:09] <Gareth> http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x/events/scale-next-generation
[19:09] <darthrobot> Title: [SCALE: The Next Generation | SCALE 10x - 2012 Southern California Linux Expo]
[19:10] <philipballew> yeah, that sounds perfect. I like it a lot.
[19:10] <philipballew> That scavenger hunt. Was that good last year, or should we talk about something else there?
[19:11] <Gareth> Okay cool.
[19:11] <Gareth> the scavenger hunt didn't happen....we did the organized tour of the exhibit floor, which worked really well.
[19:12] <philipballew> I'll probably just get as many talks as I can, then go fro there
[19:12] <philipballew> ah
[19:12] <Gareth> 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] <philipballew> If I do not get enough time slots to fill the track, then we can do something like that I guess.
[19:16] <Gareth> Okay.
[19:18] <philipballew> My goal will be to get all slots filled with talks if I can. but thats jut a goal.
[19:18] <Gareth> 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] <philipballew> perfect.
[23:06] <MarkDude> Hello akk
[23:06] <pleia2> whoa, he lives!

[23:13] <MarkDude> For the most part its been good fun
[23:13] <MarkDude> Grandma had a friend helping out, apparently her meds got changed- she screwed up all sorts of banking matters
[23:14] <akk> Ugh, hope you have that straightened out now.
[23:15] <MarkDude> Nope. It will take a while. Gma is ok with it for a bit
[23:18] <MarkDude> Oh, the other exciting news?
[23:19]  * MarkDude has found out he really likes Hello Kitty
[23:19] <MarkDude> <wearing HK sox RIGHT NOW>
[23:20] <pleia2> HK is very good at pink
[23:21] <MarkDude> Well, thats part of the issue
[23:21]  * MarkDude wanted some HK pajamas
[23:21] <MarkDude> a bit of pink in them is ok, but all 5 sets I have seen are ALL pink
[23:21] <MarkDude> For the record, my HK sox are blue
[23:22]  * akk got a great new stuffed penguin at a white elephant party today (apropos of nothing, just that HK reminded me)

[23:23] <bkerensa_> philipballew: I will not be at SCALE but I'm sending one Canadian and Californian in my place
[23:23] <bkerensa_> :)
[23:24]  * MarkDude has gone to a few Sanrio places. As well as knock-off HK stores
[23:24] <philipballew> bkerensa_, I'll be sure to give them my blessings.
[23:24] <MarkDude> Canadian?
[23:24] <MarkDude> Are we gonna have to speak slowly again?
[23:24]  * MarkDude kids :D
[23:24] <bkerensa_> MarkDude: yeah the closet person we have is out of Toronto so she will be flying down
[23:25] <bkerensa_> well we have someone in LA but she doesnt want to own the event
[23:25] <bkerensa_> and I dont want to go
[23:25] <bkerensa_> :)
[23:25] <bkerensa_> Too much work to be done now with new role handling Community Management for Thunderbird x.x
[23:25] <MarkDude> its ok. SMOG
[23:26] <MarkDude> The wine?
[23:26]  * MarkDude kids again
[23:26]  * MarkDude is thinking of doing the Mozilla Rep thing
[23:26] <bkerensa_> MarkDude: so next year were throwing a OSCON party for real this time right?
[23:26] <bkerensa_> I have funding
[23:26] <bkerensa_> :)
[23:27] <bkerensa_> you have funding
[23:27] <bkerensa_> Funding + Funding = Awesome
[23:27] <MarkDude> Yes
[23:27] <MarkDude> You just need to help us find a house
[23:27] <bkerensa_> Moz really want me to step up FOSS events and get togethers in the region
[23:27] <bkerensa_> including travel to Cali now
[23:27]  * MarkDude is styill dealing with hotels.com asshattery
[23:27] <bkerensa_> MarkDude: Will do
[23:27] <MarkDude> Cool
[23:28] <MarkDude> We got a few Pis to play with - I want to try a small Puppy Linux for Pi- with FF
[23:29] <akk> Puppy should work fine, but maybe not FF since it's low RAM.
[23:30] <MarkDude> Seamonkey, FTW!
[23:31] <MarkDude> Fedora is supposed to do ok on Pi, but with some setup hassles.
[23:31] <akk> 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] <akk> 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] <MarkDude> Good stuff
[23:34]  * MarkDude could not get Handbrake to work with other Distros. Decided I needed something that*just worked*\
[23:37] <philipballew> bkerensa_, what booth are you working this time?
[23:37] <philipballew> if you were going?
[23:37] <bkerensa_> philipballew: Mozilla's booth
[23:38] <philipballew> ah, so I can place a cardboard cutout of you there?
[23:38]  * MarkDude suggests a certain cartoon hotdog cutout to fill in
[23:39] <MarkDude> Helpful like that
[23:39] <bkerensa_> philipballew: heh
[23:40] <philipballew> MarkDude, always when you least expect him, never when you want.
[23:40]  * philipballew runs are hides
[23:40] <bkerensa_> MarkDude: so Noirin Plunkett lives up here now
