philipballewMarkDude, how hard is it to get a fedora ambassidor from down here to go help at oscon with you?04:10
philipballewhe needs sponsorship.04:10
MarkDudeUm, that would be better to aaask in say a non non-Ubuntu channe;04:30
MarkDudemaybe offtopic04:30
MarkDudeOr maybe #bamf even04:30
* MarkDude is gonna have a Fedora cloak soon, so I want to be a well behaved guest. Promoting Pi events is fine. Its all about FOSS04:43

philipballewHey people of San Fransico, would any one of you let me crash on your couch so I can make an 8am flight to Texas Linux Fest on may 28th?06:03
philipballewI have cookies!06:05
* MarkDude is too far away to be useful for SF15:27
philipballewMarkDude, your like 40 minutes right?15:29
MarkDudeDriving there is more like an hour+15:30
MarkDudeIts not downtown SF, its like South SF15:31
philipballewI see. Must take a while if you need to get to the airport then15:31
MarkDudeYes15:33
MarkDudePi party here next Sat- you gonna be around?15:33
philipballewMarkDude, nope. Currently at school in San Diego.15:44
philipballewhowever there is a ubuntu meetup here tomorrow. You should come!15:44
philipballewdrive 20 hours total. Totally worth it15:45
* philipballew should not be taken seriously sometimes15:45
philipballewMarkDude, will Jim Whitehurst  be there?15:50
MarkDudeMost likely not15:57
philipballewMarkDude, If Jim Whitehurst  is not there, then I don't think I can make it.16:02

darthrobot`[R: plus.google.com] Title: [Satire - Google+]16:47
MarkDudeThe dude on the right will be there16:47
MarkDudeMaybe bring his lightsaber16:47
MarkDudeAwesome pic of the Princess in that album also :)16:47
akkhaha -- have to say, pleia2 looks better with her normal hairstyle, her nick notwithstanding16:50
akkgreat pic though16:50
* MarkDude should redo his blog16:51
pleia2I will never get over larry as yoda16:51
pleia2it always makes me laugh16:51
MarkDudeThat was from a FOSS Wars parody- and those are folks that I feel have been an inspiration16:51
akkThey're all funny!16:52
MarkDudeKarsten also. Quite a few people thought I just took a regular pic of him and put it in16:52
MarkDudeakk- you free Sat?16:52
MarkDudePi party16:52
* MarkDude is using both FB and G+ for events. 16:53
akkI saw (though the last msg I got said it was cancelled). Probably can't make it, though.16:53
MarkDudeSome folks said FB was not grownup enough16:53
akkA few more months and this should be over and I should be back to being a full-time bay area resident.16:53
MarkDudeHmmmm, events on G+ do odd things16:53
* MarkDude plans on using DVLUG ML primarily for Pi events16:54
akkI filter FB and G+ notices to the same folder, didn't notice there were two different places so I can't say which one told me it was cancelled.16:54
MarkDudeUnless grantbow threatens to beat me up again16:54
* MarkDude kids- G has never threatened me16:55
akkI definitely am interested in Pi events, in a few months.16:55
MarkDudeSure.16:55
MarkDudeThe plan is to grow it to other ARM eventually16:55
MarkDudeThe movie the Graduate? The futurre is in ARM16:56
MarkDudeAand plastics16:56
MarkDudeakk, the main thing is trying to figure what Distro works best for usecase16:56
MarkDudeFedora makes a great server, and might be better if SELinux works for ARM16:57
MarkDudeMedia tho- XBMC is the leader.16:57
MarkDudeSexycatsinhats has a decent raspbian server going16:58
akkI've only used raspbian and the adafruit variant of it.16:58
akk(doesn't seem to be much difference between the two)16:58
MarkDudeXBMC and a wireless numpad = media center16:58
akkBut it doesn't work well for media at all -- movie playing stutters badly.16:58
MarkDudeCodec depending16:58
pleia2I don't think I'd want to use a distro that releases every 6 months on a pi, even doing standard day to day upgrades is intensive :)16:58
pleia2(I'm using regular rasbian)16:59
pleia2raspbian too16:59
* MarkDude has read that forcing 720 is the way to go16:59
MarkDudeAs well as forcing sound hdmi16:59
akkI was kind of surprised how badly it did on video considering how packed it is with video connectors.16:59
pleia2mine also just runs an irc client17:00
* pleia2 points to R2Pi2 17:00
akk(I wish they'd exposed more GPIO/serial stuff and worried less about video outputs)17:00
MarkDudeThose pieces added to even Raspbian install and used to fire up media player- works nice17:00
MarkDudeYes akk, GPIO was sumthin' that made me think of you17:00
* MarkDude has background in electronics, and wants to solder some stuff17:01
akkI was following it from the beginning because of the GPIO, but I've been a bit disappointed in it for robotics.17:01
akkYou can do stuff, but you have to bend over backwards and use a lot of add-on hardware.17:01
* MarkDude came to conclusion Pi+ Arduino= robotic fun17:01
MarkDudeAlso some ADa stuff too17:02
akkYeah, using it with an arduino makes things easy. But that's a bit bulky (unless you use a tiny arduino variant).17:02
akkAlso using 3.3v and being so picky about input voltage means you have to use level converters and be super careful.17:03
MarkDudesnes is sumthin' that looks fun also17:03
MarkDudelol- the voltages seem odd for some purposes17:04
MarkDudeHmm, adapter to make your wifi work-17:04
MarkDudeto keep it from emitting *magic smoke*17:04
akksnes? wikipedia says that's super nintendo?17:05
MarkDudeYep17:08
MarkDudeRetro gaming17:08

* MarkDude is taking a *greater good of FOSS* stance on the Pi here.17:10
* MarkDude would be being silly to push for Fedora to be used in ALL cases of course XD17:10
MarkDudeRaspbian based is 90% with some small installs of Puppy and others17:11
MarkDudeYou able to do a G+ hangout at some point akk?17:12
MarkDudeEven tho you being involved is a few months away, it would be nice to have you help *steer* some17:12
MarkDudeInput from folks is needed :)17:12
akkI'm not sure -- a friend tried to include me in some hangouts but google never sent me the invite.17:12
MarkDudeWe can sort out details, rumor has it your sorta smart17:13
akkI don't have a camera here, but do have one at home.17:13
MarkDudeand that using your like that bugged you :D17:13
akkI tried their test hangout thing and it made my camera make awful squealing noises, but a real hangout might work.17:13
pleia2the hangouts have links, so if you have some other way to contact someone (like IRC :)) you can just give them the link to join17:13
MarkDudeyou are17:13
pleia2I find the invites to be really unreliable17:14
akk(wish they had a way to do them other than a binary plug-in)17:14
MarkDudeAgreed17:14
akkpleia2: Yeah, I asked her that and she couldn't seem to find a link to send me.17:14
MarkDudethe other idea is to have folks submit an idea or goal, and have another be a proxy17:14
pleia2we pretty much exclusively use the links for CC hangouts17:14
MarkDudeGood idea on streamlining links. FB does events a bit better, altho folks say not grownup enough17:15
* MarkDude needs to go do menial tasks ....17:18
