| akk | Seriously? Darn! | 18:20 |
| akk | And using google hangouts instead of opensource technology, even weirder. Don't hangouts have a limit on how many people can participate? | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, 10 who can actually talk in the video stream, others will have to use the built in chat thing | 18:24 |
| akk | Ah, so no limit on how many can watch/listen? | 18:25 |
| tedski | canonical has been using hangouts for other stuff, right? | 18:26 |
| tedski | i.e. that's how the news of rolling releases was broken, no? | 18:26 |
| akk | Does it still need the invasive binary google plug-in even if you're not speaking? Do you still need a webcam? | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | I don't think so | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | tedski: yeah, they've been using hangouts a lot | 18:27 |
| akk | I've never actually managed to connect to a hangout. | 18:29 |
| akk | A friend invited me to several she created to talk about upcoming conference talks, and google never sent me the invite. | 18:30 |
| akk | (It didn't save it in gmail's spam folder or any other folders either.) | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | that happens sometimes, the participants can then just give a link | 18:31 |
| akk | She didn't seem to know how to do that -- was under the impression it HAD to be an invite. I'll tell her next time. | 18:31 |
| akk | I tried to connect to their sample/test hangout and it made my webcam make an earsplitting squeal. | 18:32 |
| akk | (webcam with speakers, maybe it doesn't work with that combo) | 18:33 |

| bkerensa | pleia2: I wonder how long till CD's are replaced with pointing people to ISO's.... I guess people knew this was happening about a week ago | 20:26 |
| bkerensa | Did the CC get advanced notice? | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: no | 20:26 |
| bkerensa | thats not good | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | there were some rumors floating around scale11x though | 20:26 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 20:26 |
| bkerensa | so apparently Josee knew | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | he pretty much leads up the hangout coordination, so I'm nor surprised | 20:27 |
| pleia2 | s/nor/not | 20:28 |
| bkerensa | Also someone in our loco who works at Canonical said the cut for copenhagen of one day was to save money | 20:28 |
| bkerensa | so maybe the reality is its about costs and not about opening things up to everyone | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | the party line was that feedback said 5 days was too long and people got tired so friday was useless | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | it is terribly expensive, we'll just have to work to replace face time we got at UDS with meetups at other conferences, or more ubucons | 20:29 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 20:30 |
| pleia2 | the community can do an ubucon for significantly less money than a UDS | 20:30 |
| pleia2 | I think the one at scale last week was $0 :) | 20:30 |
| bkerensa | yeah but what percentage of the Ubuntu community was able to make that on their own dime? | 20:31 |
| pleia2 | well, the idea is to have them throughout the world | 20:31 |
| pleia2 | and perhaps they'll even gain sponsors and stuff | 20:31 |
| bkerensa | huh | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | that would be nice | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | As sad as it may sound maybe this is a good opportunity to see who is contributing to contribute and who is contributing to get to UDS? | 20:34 |
| bkerensa | I do know that Canonical is apparently interested in putting more money at OSCON and buying a booth this year | 20:35 |
| pleia2 | I don't really believe there are many people like that | 20:35 |
| pleia2 | the process doesn't really skew to making that easy, and it doesn't make sense economically | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Mozilla has had that issue with their events and participation that being that we have a lot of people applying to be involved so they can get free trips and free food | 20:36 |
| pleia2 | (I could make a lot more money if I was paid for what I volunteer to do, could pay for a europe trip many times over) | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | Which is why they had to form a Oversight Task Force to weed out those people | 20:36 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I given how UDS sponsorship works I think there is a much lower chance of that | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: well hopefully your new gig will be sending you to europe now and then huh? ;) | 20:37 |
| pleia2 | you actually need to be doing some real work that someone at canonical notices, it's not just raising your hand to volunteer at a booth | 20:37 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: true UDS did have good oversight from the engineering managers where Mozilla had much different approach | 20:37 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: hah, if I speak at conferences I can go, so I certainly will be wandering to europe, plus I'll be attending the openstack summits | 20:37 |
| pleia2 | so travel isn't really a loss for me, seeing my ubuntu friends is | 20:38 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: oh so I will see you in Portland for OpenStack? | 20:39 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: yep! | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | I should book my travel soon actually | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | it's a week before my wedding, I am a brave soul ;) | 20:39 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: cool... I was invited as a openstack community member but not sure if I will be there for more than a few hours... I will try and setup a Ubuntu Hour during the evening one night though | 20:40 |
| pleia2 | cool | 20:40 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: you should wrangle a Ubuntu Women dinner ;p | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | OS women dinner! | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | the gnome mentees will be there :) | 20:41 |
| bkerensa | oh even better | 20:41 |
| bkerensa | if you arrange one I can announce it on the Mozilla list and pass it to all the OS women hackers I know | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | just thinking about that makes me feel tired, check back with me in 3 weeks | 20:42 |
| pleia2 | :) | 20:42 |
| pleia2 | <-- a bit worn out right now | 20:42 |
| pleia2 | turns out planning a wedding and changing jobs, a lot of work! | 20:43 |
| bkerensa | heh | 20:43 |
| bkerensa | Also I'm sure the Technocrats (group who decided on Xubuntu) at FreeGeek would love to meet you | 20:43 |
| pleia2 | cool | 20:44 |
| kalenjohnson | Anyone here from San Diego know when the next Ubuntu hour is? | 22:49 |
| raevol | kalenjohnson: you'll want to ask philipballew | 23:27 |
| raevol | when he's in the channel :/ or on twitter | 23:27 |
| kalenjohnson | raevol, yeah thanks, I know he's the main dude in the area | 23:38 |
