[00:56] <AlienFreak> hi all.
[00:57] <AlienFreak> so... haven't done an Ubuntu release party yet, but I'm presuming there's more going on there...then just installing Ubuntu? I've been running it for a while already...
[01:09] <pleia2> AlienFreak: there is an installfest in Orange county, but the release party in SF shouldn't have any installs at all
[01:09] <AlienFreak> works for me. :)
[01:10] <AlienFreak> orange county is a bit of a drive coming from sf.
[01:10] <pleia2> there will be a short presentation, demo systems with some of the flavors (hopefully a couple tablets),
[01:10] <pleia2> free pizza and drinks :d
[01:47] <nhaines> AlienFreak: "release party" tends to mean a social event, usually with food.
[01:47] <nhaines> So usually there's no installing of Ubuntu.  But it depends on the venue!  :)
[01:50] <AlienFreak> k.  That's fine.  I've been meaning to get more involved with the FOSS community in the are (SF) just always miss the dates.  or keep forgetting to mark them down in my calendar
[01:50] <nhaines> The release parties are no pressure events, so it's a great time to come down and say hi to everyone and just get to know everyone.
[01:50] <nhaines> We can rope you into volunteer work later.  ;)
[01:54] <AlienFreak> lol.  That's fine.  As long as it's for a good 'cause i'm pretty open to that... time pending
[15:24] <sudormrf> boosh
[16:16] <raevol> halfway there...
[16:39] <sudormrf> to where?
[16:56] <raevol> sudormrf: Friday
[17:08] <sudormrf> ooh
[18:54] <ianorlin> sigh thinking there are stores that sell laptops with ubuntu on it is a wierd reason to take a job that will require me to move to china and I should definitely not say that in the interview.
[21:30] <kdub> raevol, yesterday, i was so pumped that it was friday 'tomorrow'
[21:30] <kdub> was pretty bummed out when I was told it was only tuesday
[21:39] <raevol> kdub: that's the worst, hahahaha
[22:36] <nhaines> I'm very happy with the installfest computer data sheet and liability release forms I whipped up in LibreOffice last night.
[22:37] <nhaines> They're slightly modified from the installfest HOWTO on TLDP, but they look nice and are single page now.
[22:39] <rww> whoo, leaving for SF Ubuntu Hour and Debian Thing now :3
[22:40] <nhaines> yay
[22:48] <sudormrf> rww, I was thinking about going to that
[22:49] <sudormrf> anyone else in here going?
[22:49] <nhaines> rww is.
[22:49] <sudormrf> do you guys put up something on your table so we know who you are?
[22:49] <sudormrf> nhaines, lol I know :D
[22:49] <nhaines> :D
[22:49] <sudormrf> I just don't want to show up and look like a nugget asking random people if they do the uboontooz
[22:50] <nhaines> "No, I've been clean for 3 years now."
[22:50] <sudormrf> haaha
[22:50] <sudormrf> would probably get those kinds of answers in SF :P
[22:51] <sudormrf> but srsly though, how is a n00b to the group supposed to know? :D
[22:51] <nhaines> When pleia2 hosts them, there are a few small plushies on the table.
[22:52] <sudormrf> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2759-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/
[22:52] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu Hour San Francisco | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal]
[22:52] <sudormrf> who is hosting this one?
[22:52] <sudormrf> TUX PLUSHIES!
[22:53] <nhaines> I don't know if pleia2 is around or off on one of her fantastic voyages right now.  I know there are replacement hosts lined up for those meetings.
[22:53] <nhaines> I'd say to look out for Ubuntu shirts as a start.
[22:53] <sudormrf> hopefully with tux plushies?
[22:53] <sudormrf> oh
[22:53] <sudormrf> hopefully people don't look at me scornfully with my fedora install :P
[22:54] <nhaines> It's okay.  14.04's almost out of beta so we can fix that.  ;)
[22:54] <sudormrf> 14.04 is going on my servers :D
[22:54] <sudormrf> work laptop...maybe not :D
[22:55] <nhaines> They won't even know.
[22:55] <sudormrf> man.  replaced my two raspberry pi's with a single i3 NUC running ubuntu server.  My goodness this NUC is blowing them out of the water
[22:55] <sudormrf> lol my work would probably prefer that I put a windows install back on this laptop.  NEVAR!
[22:55] <sudormrf> not on bare metal at least
[22:57] <nhaines> Ooh, I want a NUC.
[22:57] <sudormrf> yeah.  I was REALLY taxing my raspis
[22:58] <sudormrf> I bought the cheapest NUC with a core i processor I could find.  found out it didn't have ethernet after it got delivered.  but it does have thunderbolt.  solved wired networking problem with apple thunderbolt-ethernet adapter
[22:59] <sudormrf> SOOO much faster on the network than the raspis.  raspis share the same lanes as the USB does on the raspi PCB.
[22:59] <sudormrf> so any ethernet intensive stuff taxes the CPU hard on the raspi
[23:00] <sudormrf> the NUC is cool though.  if the next mac mini doesn't have AC wifi and iris pro (they probably will) then I am going to buy a gigabyte brix.
[23:02] <nhaines> Nice.  I've heard good things.  :)
[23:17] <sudormrf> yeah.  now if only someone would release an internal laptop 3x3 AC wifi card already
[23:19] <nhaines> Hehe, oh well.  eventually!
