[02:13] Good bacon unto you all! === rmg511 is now known as rmg51 [09:38] Morning. [09:40] Morning JonathanD [09:48] JonathanD, do you know of anyone who could give a talk on open office? [10:36] morning JonathanD and rmg51 [10:50] time for my walk [12:20] rmg51: not offhand. [12:20] someone requested one? [12:20] InHisName: what level of talk? [12:20] yes [12:21] PACS board would liketo have an open office talk [12:21] I'll see what I've got... [12:22] I was thinking more along the lines of a Fosscon talk [12:22] OO talk @ fosscon? [12:22] no, at PACS [12:22] Ok, fosscon talk at pacs :p [12:22] finish what you started [12:23] The other half of pre-pj? [12:23] yep [12:23] When's next pacs [12:23] but more prepared ;-) [12:23] Having slides would be an improvement. [12:24] I have some already now though. [12:24] Sept 21 [12:24] software freedom day [12:24] I can probably do that. [12:25] Don is really set on open office [12:25] I could mention how fosscon is open, and how we talk about it in the office. [12:25] Basically the same thing. [12:26] he'll take Fosscon if we can't get OO talk [12:26] an OO "how I switched to OO" talk would get my attention too. [12:26] But I don't know anyone to give it. [12:27] neither do I [12:27] I only know the very basics [12:27] noway I could compare it to MS Office [12:27] We need someone who's used it every day for this. [12:27] that's what they want [12:28] and who used excel every day. [12:28] what do they wan? [12:28] something like that [12:28] at least someone who knows it on that level [12:28] morning [12:29] I know, let's get waltman to do it :-D [12:29] * waltman ducks [12:30] hmmm [12:30] * rmg51 sics low to the ground Teddy on waltman [12:30] walt does use excel, right? [12:30] I mean, I'm EXCELlent, of course :) [12:31] problem solved [12:32] I don't know what this "excel" thing is of which you speak [12:32] "They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard." [12:33] not a real one? [12:33] And I've never used OO [12:33] "$10 for a pitcher of Rolling Rock and a Large Pizza" [12:33] waltman: you put stuff in multidimensional arrays and do maths on them, thats basically the same thing as excel. [12:34] oh, so it's like matlab? [12:34] ...sure we'll go with that ;) [12:35] And next you're going to tell me their word processor is just like LaTeX? [12:35] Absolutely. [12:35] doesn't matter, dazzle them with your " brilliance [12:35] Why, you can hardly tell the two apart. [12:35] I knew it! [12:35] waltman: just go up, do a matlab talk, and replace "matlab" with "openoffice" [12:37] To show how easy it is to use, I'll do my slides in LaTeX Beamer [12:38] I did my ehterpad "slides" in etherpad. [12:42] exactly! [12:57] waltman: found out etherpad actually has a slideshow plugin. [12:57] nice [12:59] I don't know how it works yet. [12:59] 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 [13:01] waltman: http://etherpad.scrabby.org/p/slides [13:01] click on the gear, then "slideshow view" [13:01] left and right arrow to navigate. [14:16] mmm, bacon [20:43] oh haiiii [20:54] hi === LordOfTime|EC2 is now known as TheLordOfTime === TheLordOfTime is now known as LordOfTime|EC2
