| JonathanD | Morning. | 09:38 |
| rmg51 | Morning JonathanD | 09:40 |
| rmg51 | JonathanD, do you know of anyone who could give a talk on open office? | 09:48 |
| InHisName | morning JonathanD and rmg51 | 10:36 |
| rmg51 | time for my walk | 10:50 |
| JonathanD | rmg51: not offhand. | 12:20 |
| JonathanD | someone requested one? | 12:20 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: what level of talk? | 12:20 |
| rmg51 | yes | 12:20 |
| rmg51 | PACS board would liketo have an open office talk | 12:21 |
| JonathanD | I'll see what I've got... | 12:21 |
| rmg51 | I was thinking more along the lines of a Fosscon talk | 12:22 |
| JonathanD | OO talk @ fosscon? | 12:22 |
| rmg51 | no, at PACS | 12:22 |
| JonathanD | Ok, fosscon talk at pacs :p | 12:22 |
| rmg51 | finish what you started | 12:22 |
| JonathanD | The other half of pre-pj? | 12:23 |
| rmg51 | yep | 12:23 |
| JonathanD | When's next pacs | 12:23 |
| rmg51 | but more prepared ;-) | 12:23 |
| JonathanD | Having slides would be an improvement. | 12:23 |
| JonathanD | I have some already now though. | 12:24 |
| rmg51 | Sept 21 | 12:24 |
| rmg51 | software freedom day | 12:24 |
| JonathanD | I can probably do that. | 12:24 |
| rmg51 | Don is really set on open office | 12:25 |
| JonathanD | I could mention how fosscon is open, and how we talk about it in the office. | 12:25 |
| JonathanD | Basically the same thing. | 12:25 |
| rmg51 | he'll take Fosscon if we can't get OO talk | 12:26 |
| JonathanD | an OO "how I switched to OO" talk would get my attention too. | 12:26 |
| JonathanD | But I don't know anyone to give it. | 12:26 |
| rmg51 | neither do I | 12:27 |
| rmg51 | I only know the very basics | 12:27 |
| rmg51 | noway I could compare it to MS Office | 12:27 |
| JonathanD | We need someone who's used it every day for this. | 12:27 |
| rmg51 | that's what they want | 12:27 |
| JonathanD | and who used excel every day. | 12:28 |
| JonathanD | what do they wan? | 12:28 |
| rmg51 | something like that | 12:28 |
| rmg51 | at least someone who knows it on that level | 12:28 |
| waltman | morning | 12:28 |
| rmg51 | I know, let's get waltman to do it :-D | 12:29 |
| * waltman ducks | 12:29 | |
| JonathanD | hmmm | 12:30 |
| * rmg51 sics low to the ground Teddy on waltman | 12:30 | |
| JonathanD | walt does use excel, right? | 12:30 |
| waltman | I mean, I'm EXCELlent, of course :) | 12:30 |
| rmg51 | problem solved | 12:31 |
| waltman | I don't know what this "excel" thing is of which you speak | 12:32 |
| JonathanD | "They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard." | 12:32 |
| rmg51 | not a real one? | 12:33 |
| waltman | And I've never used OO | 12:33 |
| waltman | "$10 for a pitcher of Rolling Rock and a Large Pizza" | 12:33 |
| JonathanD | waltman: you put stuff in multidimensional arrays and do maths on them, thats basically the same thing as excel. | 12:33 |
| waltman | oh, so it's like matlab? | 12:34 |
| JonathanD | ...sure we'll go with that ;) | 12:34 |
| waltman | And next you're going to tell me their word processor is just like LaTeX? | 12:35 |
| JonathanD | Absolutely. | 12:35 |
| rmg51 | doesn't matter, dazzle them with your " brilliance | 12:35 |
| JonathanD | Why, you can hardly tell the two apart. | 12:35 |
| waltman | I knew it! | 12:35 |
| JonathanD | waltman: just go up, do a matlab talk, and replace "matlab" with "openoffice" | 12:35 |
| waltman | To show how easy it is to use, I'll do my slides in LaTeX Beamer | 12:37 |
| JonathanD | I did my ehterpad "slides" in etherpad. | 12:38 |
| waltman | exactly! | 12:42 |
| JonathanD | waltman: found out etherpad actually has a slideshow plugin. | 12:57 |
| waltman | nice | 12:57 |
| JonathanD | I don't know how it works yet. | 12:59 |
| rmg51 | JonathanD, or waltman, let me know as soon as you can if you find someone who can do OO, or we will just have to do a Fosscon talk | 12:59 |
| JonathanD | waltman: http://etherpad.scrabby.org/p/slides | 13:01 |
| JonathanD | click on the gear, then "slideshow view" | 13:01 |
| JonathanD | left and right arrow to navigate. | 13:01 |
| waltman | mmm, bacon | 14:16 |
| adom | oh haiiii | 20:43 |
| JonathanD | hi | 20:54 |
