=== jono is now known as Guest43238 [04:15] nhaines: AtomicSpark (IRC nick, active now) wants details about that installfest thing and is thinking of (read: I told him to) volunteering. You should PM him :D [04:16] oh, he joined right as I said that [04:27] yay [04:27] AtomicSpark: so basically OCLUG is having an installfest on May 24th. And we need installers. :) [04:28] For the installfest, we're only promoting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Anyone who comes in and asks for something else will get it, but otherwise they get Ubuntu. [04:29] nhaines: I am on the wiki/website currently. Where is this located? [04:32] AtomicSpark: nowhere, although I do need to get it up on the wiki. [04:32] AtomicSpark: this is going to be updated soon: http://www.oclug.org/installfest.html [04:32] Title: [OCLUG Installfest] [04:33] nhaines: What happens if, I don't have a portable pc anymore and just an android tablet? :p [04:33] AtomicSpark: then you have to come and help. :P [04:43] nhaines: use drive droid to install LINUX from a tablet [04:44] ERR AtomicSpark sorry [04:44] pleia2: ping. sorry i haven't followed super closely about bkerensa goings-on; is there an installfest? or there might be one? (for LTS 14.04 release party celebration nacho slam extravaganza) [04:44] presented by pepsi(r) [04:46] ohh action in the channel! [04:48] approaching cage-match-level actionnn [04:48] philipballew: are you going to the 14.04 sf parttyy?! [04:49] arrith: last I heard it was in SF but not at Mozilla because we got a sponsor elsewhere before we heard back from Moz, but not 100% [04:49] s/$/on whether that's correct [04:50] AtomicSpark: anyway, installfests are pretty simple, but we definitely need a few more people. If you've never done one before, I can show you the ropes. [04:50] "confirmed our release party at AdRoll " was said earlier [04:50] And we have an OCLUG meeting in April, so you can come in and see the location if you'd like. [04:51] not sure if it's too late to move from there to mozilla, or vice versa [04:51] I'm planning to give a short presentation next month. [04:51] wonder if bkerensa works at moz [04:51] arrith, Sure, if I had the money for a plane ticket. [04:52] philipballew: you're not in us-ca? [04:52] arrith, Yes I am. [04:52] arrith: California is the size of a small country. [04:52] nhaines, +1 [04:52] well the installfest isn't for a few days. :P [04:52] also $1 bus [04:52] arrith, California is not just the bay, despite what they all claim there. [04:52] arrith, No. [04:52] No. [04:53] There is no one dollar bus to sf from there I live. [04:53] oh [04:53] We don't claim it's all just the bay, that would break our complaining about y'all stealing our water. [04:54] You get all your power from dams towards Nevada to. [04:54] arrith, Where do you live? [04:54] philipballew: east bay, walnut creek area [04:55] arrith, Oh cool. I was just in Fairfield last week. [04:55] ah nice. i'm actually super geographically challenged to the point that i have to google map all these cities on job postings to see if i'm actually okay with their commute [04:55] philipballew: what's tying you to not-the-bay? [04:56] arrith, My friends, and school, and life. [04:56] philipballew: ah, so not much then :P [04:56] dang well [04:56] arrith, I actually really like where I live. [04:56] hope you have an LTS party there. for the holiday spirit [04:56] that's good [04:57] * rww ponders recruiting for Ingress [04:57] arrith, Planning on it actually. Probably more low key then yours up there, but were a more low key people down here. [04:57] arrith, where you you from? [04:58] born n raised east bay. sometimes worry that not going too far from where you were born is a bad sign, but i love me some SV/SF [04:58] Nice. I was born and raised in Auburn. [04:59] ah wow, definitely norcal [04:59] rww: if you mean the mobile game, i take it that's not really a paid position :P [04:59] Above the fog, below the snow. [05:00] arrith, Often I have to just tell people I am from Sac though. [05:00] yeah i stick to east bay, not many people know the smaller cities/towns [05:01] arrith, for sure. [05:01] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtAZ8jXYL-w [05:01] Title: [Middle Of The Road - Sacramento [HQ stereo] - YouTube] [05:02] arrith: true, but it's fun! [05:02] especially if you're Resistance :> [05:02] haha [05:02] Auburn is fun if you like weed, or dirt bikes. [05:03] Were the Reddest county in the state also. [05:04] anyways, back to LoCo stuff... [05:04] haha wow [05:04] uhm [05:05] AtomicSpark: go to installfest thing! [05:05] installfests could use a pxe server potentially. not sure if that's been done [05:05] arrith: go to release party thing! [05:05] yay, I am good at my leading thing [05:05] hail the leader [05:05] arrith, If you come to my release party, I'll give you a dollar. [05:05] maybe two! [05:05] * AtomicSpark strokes unix beard [05:05] philipballew: you're having a release party? [05:05] rww, Yes. [05:05] philipballew: where? [05:05] philipballew: commuting for not-lots-of-money is tough for me [05:06] either starbucks or INO rww [05:06] probably ino. [05:06] philipballew: I meant city, but okays :P [05:06] rww, SD [05:06] i guess usb sticks are easier than router plus lots of ethernet cables [05:06] arrith: Yes. [05:06] and more people need to use stuff like 'plop' (boot cd thing that lets you then boot to usb on computers that don't boot to usb in the bios. but i guess it's closed src :( ) [05:06] Also configuring a thing. [05:07] I got some buddies from tj coming up to help out rww so it should be good. [05:07] AtomicSpark: yeah i guess it doesn't take that much longer to write an iso to a usb stick than pxe stuff [05:07] arrith: tbh, I'd just use a CD, works for everything. [05:07] AtomicSpark: ah yeah. i actually wonder what people use the most these days [05:07] would be awesome if canonical shipped out pressed stuff [05:07] philipballew: can you throw details at the mailing list this week so people can plan for it? [05:07] score me some five-finger-discounted^Wfree swag [05:08] arrith: I still use CDs. [05:08] Though, didn't Ubuntu go DVD only? [05:08] rww, I can set up an event, but I am gonna wait till two weeks from release to start tlking about it. People will forget. [05:09] arrith: they do ship pressed stuff, we had some for Southern California Linux Expo :) [05:09] maybe even a week. [05:09] rww: LTS only i thought? [05:09] I only install Ubuntu via luetooth these days. [05:09] philipballew: mention it now /and/ we'll be sending out an email with details for all three events week before/of [05:09] bluetooth [05:09] AtomicSpark: they're DVDs, which, by the way, we will have shipped out by Canonical. [05:09] Which is a thing that they do. [05:09] AtomicSpark: oh yeah, i'm doing DVD only i guess. hm, actually i don't know how many computers that show up to installfests have CD drives or not [05:09] arrith: correct [05:10] philipballew: that way everyone's on the same page without reading through IRC, which most don't :) [05:10] rww, I can make an event on the loco portal thursday night. [05:10] rww: think they'll have 14.04 pressed discs for the installfest? [05:10] Maybe Wednesday night, but I have to run to Mexico for the night so we will see how long till get back. [05:10] Remind me, does the Ubuntu installer have an option to use up-to-date packages during install? Would make pressed dvds have a longer shelf life. [05:10] AtomicSpark: yes [05:10] I get paraoid about those minor releases. [05:10] AtomicSpark, iirc, you can install updates when installing from cd [05:11] arrith: ship time for pressed CDs is two weeks after release ( http://lococouncil.ubuntu.com/2014/03/13/14-04-dvdscds-pre-orders-now-open-for-verified-loco-teams/ ) [05:11] Title: [Loco Council | 14.04 DVDs/CDs: Pre-Orders now open for verified LoCo Teams!] [05:11] * arrith falls to knees and shouts to the sky [05:11] or what it takes to produce+ship, 2 weeks is just an estimate :) [05:11] yep [05:11] "not in time for installfest" was the main takeaway there [05:11] wow 150 and 25, that's not bad [05:12] Fedora does flash drives [05:12] oh :( [05:12] nice [05:12] wish we could, but money... [05:12] when's the installfest? [05:12] and customs ;) [05:13] indeedy [05:13] hm [05:13] probably a way to get bulk inexpensive usb stuff. they have those paper ones even [05:13] jose: don't think the LUG that's doing it made the date public yet, they're still sorting things out [05:13] rww, Do I need to tell you or lyz I need cd's or is it assumed? [05:14] what lug are we talking about? [05:14] philipballew: a guy in SD asked me for DVDs via the loco-council ML and he said he was going to get to you [05:14] philipballew: dunno, ask Lyz, she's been sorting out CD stuff I think [05:14] philipballew: OCLUG. Might want to read meeting log when you get a chance :) [05:14] Retail DVDs are cents a unit. Bulk USB keys are dollars per unit. [05:14] jose, someone emailed me looking for ubuntu events in sd. [05:14] hmm [05:14] I am emailing him back this week. [05:14] Unless you're in Australia. [05:15] jose: we pushed the date back a month at your suggestion. :P [05:15] nhaines: you better announce the date in the channel, then? [05:15] :P [05:15] AtomicSpark, Not sure we can trust Australasia, their toilets flush the wrong way. [05:15] philipballew: no, YOUR toilets flush the wrong way [05:15] i don't even know what way my toilet flushes :( [05:15] jose: I did, during the last meeting. But it's going on the wiki soon. The LUG hasn't announced the date yet. :P [05:16] that can only be settled with thermonuclear war [05:16] I have a friend who went to Kenya and they flush down with no swirl when you are right on the equator. [05:16] arrith, si. [05:16] philipballew: Thats because of design flaw, not gravity. [05:16] rww: clockwise. [05:16] AtomicSpark, clocks are overrated. I prefer the sun. [05:17] http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Murphy%27s_law_application_for_antigravitatory_cats [05:17] Title: [Murphy's law application for antigravitatory cats - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia] [05:18] AtomicSpark, Wanna go to the down under with me? [05:18] Lets go right now! [05:18] australian food is probably pretty good [05:19] I actually wanna go to Perth. I let this dude I met on the internet sleep on my loor for a week who lives there. [05:19] they should have more australian restaurants. there are brazillian places around the bay area but not australian, that i've seen [05:19] philipballew: oh nice, quid pro quo [05:19] I met a guy who said he would let me crash on his cargo ship for free if I work a little bit, and work a little bit for food. [05:20] and he said after a month I would end up in Australasia. [05:20] That sounds like the way cargo ships work. [05:20] nhaines, Living within walking distance from a shipping harbor/port has its advantages. [05:22] arrith, Does the city have austrillian food? [05:22] what is australian food [05:22] philipballew: i'm not sure. haven't looked. taht sounds good though [05:22] kangaroo? [05:22] rww: crisps and boiled meats. [05:23] * philipballew just had a California burrito. [05:23] ^ jose [05:24] philipballew: I hate hate hate you [05:24] I've been wanting a burrito since I left the US :( [05:25] jose, so I should avoid tweeting about all the tacos I eat tomorrow in Tijuana? [05:25] jose: you can always make one. :) [05:25] jose, o, y mucho cervesa. [05:25] philipballew: tacos are fine, burritos aren't [05:25] burritos are bomb [05:25] nhaines: still don't know how to make those awesome ones I had in SD [05:25] rww: mayybe [05:25] philipballew: beer, well, I'm <18 fyi [05:25] you can import stuff [05:26] jose, TIL Peru has a drinking age [05:26] this like one famous halal cart thing in NY i went to once is so good i keep thinking of paying some courier to pack one in ice and ship it to me. it'd be like $50 though and i can't justify that price [05:26] peru the land of the lawless has no laws! [05:26] jose: tortilla, refried beans, maybe some rice, shredded cheese, guacamole.... meat-based protein as desired.... It's probably a pretty simple formula. :) [05:27] chipotles are opening up everywhere now. probably will be one nearby soon [05:27] order from their site and send an intern to get it [05:27] nhaines, Carne asada, queso, salsa, french fries. [05:27] I would totally get the Döner Kebab place in Germany to throw one in a styrofoam container with dry ice and fly it over here. [05:27] don't let the intern get anything for themselves. they have to learn discipline [05:27] nhaines: $50! [05:28] arrith: we do have a law that allows us to have up to 20 llamas in our backyard [05:28] nhaines, I was in Germany last month and had a really good one of those. [05:28] arrith: deal if I can buy it with bitcoin! [05:28] they were the shit [05:28] nhaines: not when btc goes x50 in value [05:28] Im gonna visit a bitcoin atm this weekend in my area. [05:28] arrith: I'm only buying it now though. [05:29] Recent incidents have brought the currency under new regulatory scrutiny, such as the failure of Mt. Gox, a Tokyo-based exchange that filed for bankruptcy after losing an estimated $650 million worth of customer bitcoins. [05:29] http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/25/us-bitcoin-irs-idUSBREA2O1LR20140325 [05:29] Title: [Bitcoins are property, not currency, IRS says regarding taxes| Reuters] [05:30] can I print out my bitcoins? [05:30] philipballew: yes. [05:30] verifying that they're legit is another thing though [05:31] localbitcoins has a whole deal using text messages to confirm transfer of btc [05:31] not sure if it actually escrows [05:31] arrith: it can escrow, yes. [05:31] nhaines, interessant [05:31] #!/usr/bin/python; print("out my bitcoins") [05:32] #!/usr/bin/env python [05:32] "Siri print me some money" [05:36] I'm really happy that I agreed to update the OCLUG installfest page with the installfest date but it doesn't actually have one. [05:36] It's like free work. === Darkwing_ is now known as Darkwing [16:43] arrith: we won't be doing an installfest at the party, the party will just be a gathering to learn about the new release and eat pizza for a couple hours, an installfest requires a lot more time and volunteers [16:44] I won't do an installfest for less than 5 hours these days, there are always installation issues and we get stuck staying forever, not something for a thursday night :) [16:45] as for DVD shipping, we'll do the same as we've done in the past, when they arrive I'll email the list and ask which regions need them, ie: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2012-October/002054.html [16:45] Title: [[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: DVDs For LoCo Teams] [17:10] arrith: I do not [17:12] pleia2: so let me know if you have any issues William will be able to help get you guys setup [17:13] we have beverages and some snacks on site [17:13] depending on when it is we could probably order pizzas too [17:13] yeah, I'll let you know if adroll doesn't work out :) [17:14] for the installfest [17:14] oh good [17:14] I need to convince someone to run it, I'm way too overbooked [17:14] I know that feeling [17:14] I can attend, but coordinating another event.. :\ [17:14] how do you reverse the overbooked feeling? [17:14] :D [17:14] learn how to say "no" :) [17:14] let me know how that goes [17:14] hehe === Gareth is now known as the_universe === the_universe is now known as Gareth
