Bryansteinhmm internet was out00:37
Bryansteinjmarrero, there is a BIG difference between susecon and Fossetcon...they are actually NOTHING alike00:37
BryansteinSusecon cost $900 dollars00:37
BryansteinFossetcon cost $20 for 3 days food and more content00:37
jmarrerowow00:42
jmarrerothat sure is super BIG diference00:42
jmarreroI truly hope I can be there. Any idea when the tickets will be available?00:43
jmarreroBryanstein: I also imagine susecon is to present their products and more corporate things.00:45
Bryansteinjmarrero, it'll either be this weekend or early next week00:46
Bryansteinjmarrero, I've been to Susecon in FL actually00:46
BryansteinIt was quite corporate and ALL SUSE stuff really00:46
BryansteinI was invited and totally disrespected :o(00:47
jmarreroI imagine that is no fun then.00:47
jmarreroattacked Ubuntu?00:47
BryansteinLol no...I am not Ubuntu...although there was naturally anti Ubuntu talk there because Ubuntu is winning in a lot of ways Suse isn't00:48
BryansteinYes Suse is winning in a lot of way Ubuntu isn't either...00:48
BryansteinNo it was more errr sexist, racist talk 00:48
jmarreroohh wow00:49
jmarrerothat is bad really.00:49
BryansteinIt was quite an eye opener...and also I had people talking down to me like I wasn't supposed to be there00:49
jmarreroI can't imagine how a company allow that in a official convention.00:49
jmarrerothat really sucks00:49
Bryansteinjmarrero, things happen00:49
BryansteinSponsors albeit lol...but...it might work for you...it's worth seeing I'd say00:50
BryansteinGo to Fossetcon then save up for Susecon and give it a try...you might have a better experience than I had.00:50
jmarreroI am Puertorrican... If you had racist comments I will have to00:51
BryansteinOh well you definitely wouldn't have like the word I heard because I didn't like it. 00:52
BryansteinAnyhow...  mhall119 Lunduke is only promoting Susecon because he probably isn't paying for it.00:53
BryansteinSusecon is not a community event...it's a Suse event. 00:53
mhall119Bryanstein: also he works for Suse00:53
Bryansteinmhall119, since when?00:53
BryansteinI didn't see him there the first year00:53
Bryansteinmhall119, hmmm I wonder what he does for Suse00:54
BryansteinI am now the “Social Media Marketing Manager” for SUSE.00:54
BryansteinOk that makes sense00:54
mhall119Bryanstein: I think he does community stuff for them00:55
mhall119yeah, that00:55
Bryansteinlol...well hehehe he still doesn't actually have to pay for his ticket00:55
mhall119true00:55
mhall119he might convince them to sponsor Fossetcon though :)00:55
Nothing_MuchHi guys00:55
mhall119hey Nothing_Much 00:56
Nothing_Muchwhat's going on?00:56
jmarreroyeah now all their posts are actually Lundukes'00:56
mhall119Nothing_Much: Bryanstein is telling us about his new open source convention coming to Orlando in September00:56
Bryansteinmhall119, hmmm there are certain people in the Suse crowd that I'd never want people exposed to per our Code of Conduct00:56
Bryansteinmhall119, ahem not my conference OUR conference00:56
mhall119Bryanstein: I'm surprised you had such a bad experience at susecon00:57
Bryansteinlol @ jmarrero 00:57
mhall119well, disappointed is more like it, I would have expected better from them00:57
Nothing_MuchWhat happened?00:57
* Nothing_Much scrolls up00:57
mhall119Bryanstein: well, yours in that you're responsible for it :)00:57
Bryansteinmhall119, no so it wasn't that the showmanship was lack luster00:57
BryansteinThey put on a nice showing00:57
mhall119Bryanstein: I mean that I'm disappointed they behaved that way00:58
Nothing_MuchOpenSUSE has a con?00:58
mhall119Nothing_Much: yeah00:58
BryansteinOh mhall119 truthfully...I debated going00:58
BryansteinNothing_Much, I attended both00:58
Nothing_Muchwith racists and sexists00:58
Nothing_Muchyikes00:58
Nothing_MuchBryanstein: both what?00:58
BryansteinSusecon and OpenSuse Summit00:59
BryansteinNow I'll say this...I never told the higher ups  in Suse about my experience but I was there with 4 other individuals that say the guy make the comments right infront of me 3 times00:59
BryansteinSo I am not saying that their response to it wasn't correct as I didn't want to even make it that type of issue.01:00
Nothing_Muchoh man, I can't believe how many places exist for Linux down here!01:00
BryansteinNothing_Much, well Fossetcon really exists for the community01:00
Nothing_Muchwhat's Ubuntu winning over that SUSE isn't?01:01
BryansteinFossetcon is Free and Open Source Software Expo and Technology conference01:01
Nothing_Much(PM me the details if you want)01:01
BryansteinNothing_Much, server space...support contracts01:01
BryansteinCorporate01:01
BryansteinEurope01:01
Nothing_Muchohh01:01
BryansteinSuse is HUGE in Europe01:01
Nothing_Muchwhere's suse winning?01:01
Nothing_Muchoh man, really?01:01
mhall119Nothing_Much: we have a better phone OS than them too :)01:02
Nothing_Muchwell obviously that mhall11901:02
Bryansteinmhall119, do they even have one lol01:02
Nothing_Muchlol01:02
Nothing_MuchKDE has too much of everything01:02
Nothing_Much..01:02
Nothing_Muchif that's what SUSE uses01:02
Bryansteinmhall119, they are just now getting into ARM a like a year ago01:02
Nothing_Muchwell somehow there was a Plasma tablet on ZaReason.com01:03
BryansteinNothing_Much, they also have a quite unfair errr advantage01:03
mhall119yeah, Red Hat was late to that party, even a couple years ago I had people in those communities telling me that ARM would never be a viable server platform01:03
BryansteinMicrosoft actually promotes Suse to it's customers...they have an agreement01:03
Bryansteinmhall119, REALLY hahaha01:03
Nothing_Muchlol01:03
Nothing_Muchmicrosoft01:03
BryansteinNothing_Much, honest truth01:03
Nothing_Muchyeah I saw the sponsors01:04
Nothing_Muchon suse summit or susecon or whatever it was01:04
Nothing_Muchoh, susecon01:04
BryansteinI'll say this though...they've got money and they surely spent it on the event01:04
Nothing_Muchwait, ARM not being a server platform?01:04
Nothing_Muchlook at nvidia's Tegra K1!01:04
Nothing_Muchit's crazy fast!01:04
mhall119Nothing_Much: this was a couple years ago, I don't think anybody would say that today01:05
Nothing_Muchohh01:05
BryansteinWell Nothing_Much mhall119 is talking about back when things weren't crazy fast they just had really low power consumption 01:05
Nothing_Muchah01:05
Nothing_Muchwell, I'm hoping that ARM can replace x8601:05
Nothing_Muchbecause I hate having a heater01:05
Nothing_Muchas a PC01:05
BryansteinLOL01:05
Nothing_Muchor a PC as a heater01:05
jmarreroI wanted to see Mac books running ARM01:06
mhall119get an arm chromebook01:06
jmarrerobut that dream died...01:06
mhall119balloons used to have one that he ran Ubuntu on01:06
Nothing_Muchwell, I gotta play my steam games :(01:06
BryansteinWell its not so good for men either...for laptops. There are health risks associated with having a super hot laptop in your lap all the time01:06
Nothing_Muchbut valve seems to be heading in that direction so that's pretty cool01:06
Nothing_Muchsince they ported Portal to Android for the nvidia shield01:06
Bryansteinjmarrero, yes that is true, at least for now01:06
jmarreroNothing_Much: what? Portal is on android!!!01:07
BryansteinSUSECon Prices01:07
Nothing_Muchso far apparently someone at Apple said it would be a waste of resources to port OS X01:07
Nothing_Muchjmarrero: yeah01:08
Bryanstein$799 US on or before July 3101:08
Bryanstein$899 US August 01 - September 1601:08
Bryanstein$999 US September 17 - November 1601:08
Nothing_Muchdude the news came at the same time when facebook aquired Oculus lol01:08
Bryanstein$1099 US on-site registration01:08
Nothing_Muchthat's why it was overshadowed01:08
BryansteinFossetcon Prices01:08
Bryanstein$20...for 3 days01:08
Bryanstein$10 for 2 days01:08
Bryansteinwhen ever01:08
jmarrerocrazy pricing01:08
Bryansteinwhy should you pay more at the door?01:09
Nothing_Muchhttp://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/03/25/portal-shield/ jmarrero01:09
BryansteinYou can buy 100 Fossetcon tickets for the price of 1 Susecon ticket lol01:09
jmarreroI imagine that is better for them to manufacture their Steambox on ARM down the road01:09
BryansteinNothing_Much, I was planning on building a Tegra K1 cluster01:10
BryansteinIt might still happen01:10
BryansteinJust for the evnt01:10
Bryansteinevent01:10
jmarrerothan just getting Intel or AMD to supply x86_64 chips.01:10
mhall119Bryanstein: how many attendees did they have when you were there?01:10
* Bryanstein was speaking to Nvidia today01:10
Bryansteinmhall119, they said around 200 ish but they didn't expect that many01:10
mhall119oh, that's barely any01:11
mhall119I think XDA had more than that01:11
BryansteinWell it's a suse only thing01:11
mhall119true01:11
BryansteinThere were ummm like 10-15 booths MAYBE01:11
BryansteinThey had really nice conference software though01:12
BryansteinWhich I'm sure is closed source...man it was nice01:12
mhall119what was nice about it?01:12
Bryansteinmhall119, well when you setup your schedule it let you know how many slots were left dynamically and when a slot opened it alerted you01:12
BryansteinIt looked slick too01:12
mhall119was that used by attendees or speakers?01:13
Bryansteinattendees01:13
mhall119why would attendees want to know when a slot was open?01:13
BryansteinSo each room had a limit and you really had to setup your schedule before hand or else the room was at capacity01:13
mhall119oh, I get it now01:14
Bryansteinmhall119, just so they can even get in lol01:14
mhall119no standing room?01:14
Bryansteinnope01:14
BryansteinThe schedule was not "open" so to speak. If you liked 3 talks on 1 slot you couldn't be in all 3 so you book one and put yourself on the waiting list for others01:14
mhall119no granted my experience is based on FLS, SELF, SCaLE and UDS, but that sounds terrible01:15
Bryansteinmhall119, it was quite an eye opener01:15
BryansteinI didn't get it until I was basically scheduled out of some talks I want to go to01:15
BryansteinUDS was killer in comparison01:16
BryansteinSame venue...I actually was going to have Fossetcon there back in ummm 2011 but they pulled a fast on over on me01:16
Bryansteins/fast on/fast one01:16
Nothing_Muchquick question, does Ubuntu Touch have a Tumblr app?01:17
jmarreroUDS was in FL at one moment?01:17
mhall119jmarrero: twice01:17
Bryansteinjmarrero, oh man you missed it...twice01:17
BryansteinUDS taught me a lot...well and OSCON01:17
BryansteinYou've gotta feed the people...that is what I learned!01:18
jmarreroBah, I am a lowly student and will be for two more months so even If I knew about it I could not go :'(01:18
mhall119Nothing_Much: yes, but it looks like it's a webapp not native01:18
jmarreroI only can stare at the pictures people share and whats the videos on youtube and weep.01:18
Bryansteinjmarrero, how much longer will you be in the states?01:18
BryansteinJuly?01:19
jmarreroI live in Puerto Rico and will move permanently to FL in July. (If all goes well)01:19
jmarreroBecause you know anything can happen when you are finishing your degree..., A friend of mine was about the graduate when the University went on strike...01:20
jmarrerofun times...01:20
Nothing_MuchAw darn01:20
Nothing_MuchThey might be open to Ubuntu though as they have an app for WP801:21
mhall119Nothing_Much: if they have an open API, anybody can make one01:22
Nothing_MuchNot sure if they have one or not01:22
Nothing_MuchHow do you tell if they have an open API?01:22
Nothing_Muchhttp://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v201:22
jmarrerothat api looks pretty well documented01:26
Nothing_Muchdoes that mean it's open?01:27
jmarreroif you mean open as you can write a app for it yes01:28
jmarreroif you mean open as opensource no01:28
Nothing_Muchyeah that's what I mean01:28
Nothing_Muchyou can make an app for it01:28
Nothing_Muchunlike twitter01:28
Nothing_Much..01:28
Nothing_Muchafaik01:28
jmarreroAt least it seems like it, you have there how to follow/unfollow/edit blog/ etc 01:29
jmarrerothey even have it in different languages. No C++...01:30
jmarreroBut I guess Javascript would be ok for Ubuntu Phone01:30
jmarreroI think mhall119 could tell you better what to use.01:31
jmarreroand it seems it is opensource too.. https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr.js01:32
mhall119jmarrero: javascript would work, for HTML5 at least, maybe for QML depending on the lib01:32
jmarreromhall119: you cant use JAVA or AndroidSDK/JAVA to develop a GUI app for Ubuntu Phone right?01:33
jmarrerojust QT ?01:33
mhall119jmarrero: you can use Qt or HTML5, but not Java01:34
mhall119well, you can, but you have to ship the whole Java runtime with your app, and you still need to use something like Qt for widgets, the native AWT and Android widgets won't work01:35
jmarreroI see, then make more sense to use javascript01:35
mhall119yeah01:35
mhall119both QML and HTML5 use javascript for the logic01:36
mhall119QML's Javascript is a bit limited, so not all libraries meant to run in a browser will work in it01:36
jmarrero I see01:37
jmarreroWell my time to go01:57
jmarrerohave a great night01:57
jmarrerolater01:58
Nothing_Muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scWj1BMRHUA too cool!02:14
Nothing_MuchHuh, what'd I get banned for in #ubuntu-offtopic for?02:59
mhall119no idea03:00
Nothing_Muchwell I'll ask one of the mods from over there03:01
mhall119Nothing_Much: looks like it was an accidental mass-banning03:03
ShawnRNothing_Much: over there, they can read your mind03:03
ShawnRyou must have some pretty dark/nasty thoughts03:04
Nothing_Muchoh interesting03:04
Nothing_MuchShawnR: oh my03:04
