[02:13] <Samuraialba> Good bacon unto you all!
[09:38] <JonathanD> Morning.
[09:40] <rmg51> Morning JonathanD
[09:48] <rmg51> JonathanD, do you know of anyone who could give a talk on open office?
[10:36] <InHisName> morning JonathanD and rmg51
[10:50] <rmg51> time for my walk
[12:20] <JonathanD> rmg51: not offhand.
[12:20] <JonathanD> someone requested one?
[12:20] <JonathanD> InHisName: what level of talk?
[12:20] <rmg51> yes
[12:21] <rmg51> PACS board would liketo have an open office talk
[12:21] <JonathanD> I'll see what I've got...
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <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.
[12:24] <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.
[12:25] <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.
[12:26] <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.
[12:27] <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
[12:28] <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
[12:29] <rmg51> I know, let's get waltman to do it :-D
[12:29]  * waltman ducks
[12:30] <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 :)
[12:31] <rmg51> problem solved
[12:32] <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."
[12:33] <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.
[12:34] <waltman> oh, so it's like matlab?
[12:34] <JonathanD> ...sure we'll go with that ;)
[12:35] <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"
[12:37] <waltman> To show how easy it is to use, I'll do my slides in LaTeX Beamer
[12:38] <JonathanD> I did my ehterpad "slides" in etherpad.
[12:42] <waltman> exactly!
[12:57] <JonathanD> waltman: found out etherpad actually has a slideshow plugin.
[12:57] <waltman> nice
[12:59] <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
[13:01] <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.
[14:16] <waltman> mmm, bacon
[20:43] <adom> oh haiiii
[20:54] <JonathanD> hi
