pleia2(I'm one of them)16:08
pleia2for -us-ca anyway16:09
pleia2no pending moderator requests, did you have a specific question?16:09
MarkDudepleia2: yes, I was gonna send the idea of bringing Ubuntu Hours to TWIT studio - they have many FOSS fans that work there19:31
MarkDudeThis was in context of Google Glass being hacked to run Ubuntu19:32
MarkDudeI wanted to email the list and see if there was a volunteer to ask Lep Laporte, and some of the other TWITS19:33
pleia2MarkDude: not sure I understand, have people go to the TWIT studio to have coffee?19:33
MarkDudeI offered to do it myself. But that would be silly19:33
pleia2or were you asked to interview..?19:33
MarkDudeNo on eperson goes there19:33
MarkDudetalk s during show19:33
pleia2not sure how that's an Ubuntu Hour19:34
MarkDudeleo always asks question19:34
MarkDudeAT the point Leo asks about what you do-19:34
MarkDudeIm a geek I go to Ubunyu Hours- you are invited-0 as well as other TWITS19:34
pleia2oh, I see, be a guest on TWIT to talk about Ubuntu Hours?19:35
MarkDudeThey told me they were interested in going to events like this when I visited19:35
MarkDudeWell to be in the audience19:35
MarkDudeLeo will talk and give some time to it. Then see about another show19:36
pleia2sorry, I'm not really familiar with TWIT these days, there is a portion of the show where they interview audience members? (I didn't even know they had a live audience :))19:36
MarkDudeThey have a live audience19:36
MarkDudeEvery time I have gone they ask  some geek question19:36
MarkDudeAsked me about Fedora- Beefy Miracle , etc19:36
MarkDudeOnly 2 people there knew anything about Fedora, pretty much everyone knows about Ubuntu19:37
pleia2well it's certainly on topic, want to send an email talking about your experience and how others can do the same?19:37
MarkDudeSure19:37
pleia2location, date, suggestions for audience members19:37
MarkDudemy reason asking for mod is this19:37
pleia2how you become an audience member ;)19:37
pleia2I didn't even realize they had a studio in CA :)19:38
MarkDudeChris has been going for a while19:38
MarkDudeYep19:38
pleia2(or that they had a studio that wasn't someone's house)19:38
MarkDudeJono was doing the FLOSS weekly show up there19:38
pleia2but it's been a really long time since I've listened19:38
MarkDudeYep19:38
pleia2yeah, I assumed he just dialed in to skype or something19:38
MarkDudeNo small house anymore19:38
MarkDudeIts a big studio19:38
pleia2I listen to floss weekly, but mostly people are dialed in and the sound is lousy19:39
pleia2learn something new every day!19:39
pleia2and thanks for understanding re: A's tickets being off-topic, you can tell by the number of unsubscribes after a "give away free" type post how unpopular such things are19:39
MarkDudeWell I wont share my opinion onm FLOSS19:40
pleia2just the facts, sir19:40
MarkDudelol19:40
MarkDudeSure19:40
MarkDudeI am planning a baseball day/geeknic. I am pretty sure thats relevant- as it has been in last years19:41
MarkDudeBut a small percent taking offense- my bad :)19:41
pleia2geeknics are fine, but random "give away free" posts really put people off, they subscribe specifically to hear about Ubuntu things (and foss events)19:42
MarkDudeWell if I send to the list, I have been told it would be less than genuine if I used another email besides my @fedoraprject19:42
pleia2had 3 unsubs after your post19:42
pleia2you should use whatever email you want19:42
MarkDudeThe way you have explained this makes sense19:42
pleia2not sure why it would be "less than genuine" to use something other than your fedora email, we welcome everyone, regardless of affiliation :)19:43
MarkDudeThe 1st explanation on the tickets made me think the mention of a channel was the issue19:43
* pleia2 has an @hp.com address and uses it for approximately 0 public things19:44
MarkDudeWell I also have a Fedora mask19:46
* pleia2 shrugs19:46
MarkDudeIts more than just a small part of what i do19:46
pleia2I only really use my specific addresses when I'm specifically representing in some way19:46
pleia2I don't use my ubuntu address on debian lists19:46
MarkDudeWell its more I respect a small group says that- and I would rather move on then try to tell people how they should really feel :)19:47
pleia2since I'm not representing ubuntu when I'm posting there, I'm just me :)19:47
MarkDudeOk fair enough19:47
MarkDudeThats sorta how I feel, and why Im thoinking its gonna be best to politely ignore those that only view linked to one project19:48
MarkDudeGood stuff pleia2 I will send from my regualr address :)19:48
pleia2just make sure it's one that's subscribed to the list so it doesn't get stuck in the moderation queue ;)19:48
MarkDudelol19:54
MarkDudeI remember doing that years ago then complaining, then came my apology19:55
MarkDudeI think I TWIT, and let folks know how much its grown19:56
MarkDudeI will include a little background to catch people up to what they do- and how close they are19:56
MarkDude:)19:56
MarkDudeThx for the help pleia219:56
pleia2sure, thanks for passing along the info19:57
pleia2would be great to see some folks from the team pay them a visit :)19:57
MarkDudeYep, Leo has more than a few penguins in his office, he is a friend of Tux19:58
MarkDudeYay19:58
