[10:00] <sagaci> jared_, do you think you'll be able to host a release party for R?
[10:01] <jared_> I am not sure, I'd have to look up when it is. I'm just about finished my assignments for the first TP.
[10:03] <jared_> Hmm might be, my next exam block is the 15 - 20 of April
[10:07] <sagaci> around the 27th apr
[10:07] <jared_> Now I just have to think of somewhere to do it.
[10:08] <jared_> Tempted to see if I could steal a room at uni, awesome coffee machine, board room tables, massive tvs to connect up to.
[10:08] <jared_> The main issue being swipe card access would be needed :/
[10:12] <sagaci> yeah, check out pdf-presenter-console
[10:13] <jared_> Interesting,w e have a few presentation assessments coming up
[10:15] <nicksydney> hello
[10:15] <nicksydney> anybody has tried the ubuntu touch (mobile) ?
[10:15] <jared_> Gday nicksydney, I've not seen it in person
[10:16] <nicksydney> are there any ubuntu meetup in Sydney ? it will be cool if there is a demo or something :D
[10:16] <jared_> I think all you need is a nexus 7 at this point
[10:17] <nicksydney> yup
[10:18] <sagaci> nicksydney, there's a release party scheduled for late April
[10:18] <nicksydney> how do i register for it ?
[10:20] <sagaci> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/2208/detail/
[10:20] <sagaci> it's not hard registration, but it's nice to have a bit of an idea who is showing up
[10:22] <nicksydney> sagaci: thanks
[10:25] <nicksydney> is anybody here works with kernel development ?
[10:28] <jared_> Not I, not sure if others do
[10:28] <jared_> I'm a bit too boring and non techie for that stuff
[10:31] <jea> jared_: I see you set up a nice permanent meeting url
[10:31] <jared_> jea: wasn't me, but I'll take the credit ;)
[10:32] <jared_> I was about to congratulate you on the same thing
[10:32] <jared_> Must have been sagaci
[10:33] <jea> Ok, must have been
[10:34] <jared_> Alright, assessment uploaded.
[10:34] <jea> Congratulations
[10:34] <jared_> I might head off for some sleep as I didn't get to bed last night as I was finishing off the two due today :/
[10:34] <jared_> I submitted about 50 pages of assessment today :D
[10:35] <jea> Wow, that is a lot.
[10:35] <jea> I will create events for the meeting, and advertise it
[10:35] <jared_> Hopefully a lot of good stuff
[10:35] <jea> I might even try to do a Jam if I get time
[10:35] <jea> probably Translations
[10:35] <jea> Yes, hopefully you do well on it
[10:35] <jared_> Sounds good, I keep meaning to get around to this stuff but time is flying so fast studying and workign
[10:36] <jared_> It's not even the end of February and I've already finished 2 subjects
[10:36] <jea> yeah, I know that feeling
[10:36] <jea> though I am only just starting a semester
[10:39] <jared_> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-R2rHtyBlgaMGMwTzhGcEpXOEE/ - that's my year all mapped out 
[10:40] <jared_> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-R2rHtyBlgaMGMwTzhGcEpXOEE/edit?usp=sharing even
[10:44] <jea> quite busy
[10:45] <jared_> Especially when each subject has multiple assessments. I'm cutting back to one subject at a time in July thouhg
[10:45] <jared_> Hows your study going?
[10:46] <jea> Last year finished well, and next week I start 2013 uni
[10:47] <jea> doing 4 subjects (standard load), with a few more difficult ones
[10:47] <jared_> I recall you were doing IT but couldn't remember the specific area of study
[10:49] <jea> Software and Aerospace engineering
[10:50] <jea> this semester is Netduino for one subject, compilers for another
[10:50] <jared_> Ah interesting stuff, our parent company does lots of aerospace stuff
[10:50] <jea> networking for the third, and development processes for the fourth
[10:50] <jea> oh, ok
[10:50] <jea> what company is that, if you don't mind me asking?
[10:51] <jared_> We're owned by UTC
[10:51] <jared_> Who own Goodrich
[10:51] <jared_> And a bunch of other stuff
[10:51] <jared_> http://utcaerospacesystems.com/
[10:52] <jea> I don't think I have heard of them. I obviously haven't looked around enough
[10:53] <jared_> That stuff is mainly in the US. They supply all 4 US defence arms so they have to keep a lot on shore
[10:53] <jea> that is pretty impressive
[10:53] <jared_> Yeah makes us look really boring in comparison
[10:54] <jea> haha
