[17:39] <BobJonkman1> Hi genii: Are you on Twitter or Identi.ca?
[17:40] <genii> BobJonkman1: No, I usually avoid stuff like that, as well as facebook, myspace, et al
[17:41] <BobJonkman1> OK.  I'm just contributing to a conversation about the party tonight on StatusNet, and wanted to include you.

[17:42] <BobJonkman1> http://sn.jonkman.ca/conversation/48794 so it's linkified...
[17:49] <genii> Cool
[17:59] <genii> BobJonkman1: The owner lets me have the venue for free as a favour twice a year. Since I'm not rich I can only afford to provide free coffee and cupcakes, if people want beer they need to purchase it off the bar and help me by keeping in good with the owner :)
[18:00] <BobJonkman1> Wish I could join you. I'm going to another thing instead: http://www.fairvotewrc.ca/town-hall-meeting-on-electoral-reform-in-guelph-with-stephane-dion-brian-tanquay/
[18:01] <BobJonkman1> Doesn't look like there will a 13.10 release party in KW this year.  I have no venue, and no-one on the ubuntu-waterloo mailing list has really expressed an interest
[18:04] <genii> BobJonkman1: I joined Twitter now, grudgingly.
[18:07] <BobJonkman1> genii: Perhaps a bit hasty.  The StatusNet community is big on FLOSS and GNU/Linux.  You can run your own StatusNet software (actually, it's called "GNU social" now), and there are some public instances you can join if you don't run your own , eg. https://loadaverage.org/
[18:07] <BobJonkman1> But there is a Twitter bridge so that stuff you post to GNU social also appears on Twitter, and vice versa.
[18:09] <BobJonkman1> genii: So what's your Twitter ID?
[18:13] <genii> CoffeeGenii
[18:14] <genii> &$@^#! it makes you add a crapton of feeds before you can do anything
[18:29] <genii> Hm. I *think* I responded to that thread but not sure now.
[18:42] <genii> OK, yes, I did :)
[18:53] <azend|vps> BobJonkman1: the kw linux community can come join what seems to be the month after ubuntu release party in Guelph :)
[19:01] <BobJonkman1> genii: Re-tweeted and re-dented to add to the conversation: http://sn.jonkman.ca/conversation/48794
[19:02] <BobJonkman1> azend|vps: yay! Looking forward to it!
[19:05] <azend|vps> loadaverage.org seems to have a mess of an SSL situation going on
