| cmaloney | skellat: That sucks. | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Unfortunately we're driving down on Friday so Ubucon is likely out for us. | 00:08 |
| skellat | cmaloney: Yeah, people weren't even interested if we asked for travel & lodging cash to be paid out of Canonical Community Budget for them. I would have pushed hard for that and even then bupkis. | 00:09 |
| skellat | I get to hone my skills for apologizing tonight during the OLF planning meeting I think. I've been doing such a great job as an apologist on the telephone for $FederalAgency until I hit furlough. | 00:11 |
| cmaloney | skellat: It's a useful skill. :) | 00:11 |
| cmaloney | btw: is Ohio planning on having a booth at OLF? | 00:12 |
| skellat | cmaloney: I don't think so. There are no free booths anymore and the cost for the booth alone is high along with how long it takes me to get to Columbus cost-wise. | 00:13 |
| skellat | I'd have to get money out of Canonical Community Budget for it and I don't have enough people to staff it. | 00:14 |
| cmaloney | skellat: Understandable | 00:14 |
| cmaloney | That's partly why I wanted to offer our resources | 00:14 |
| cmaloney | I know we're both hurting for people now that Ubuntu is no longer the cool kid in town. :) | 00:14 |
| skellat | For me to go down is akin to a trip from Utica to middle of the mitten | 00:15 |
| skellat | s/Utica/Rochester Hills/ | 00:16 |
| cmaloney | ROchester -> Lansing. :) | 00:16 |
| skellat | I was thinking in terms of distance. I've done the trip from Rochester up to Central Michigan University and back in...January 2002, I think | 00:17 |
| skellat | That was back during undergrad at Rochester College | 00:17 |
| skellat | Ashtabula to Columbus is not a fun trip | 00:18 |
| skellat | cmaloney: I need to go take care of some things but I'll wing you an e-mail after the OLF planning meeting tonight | 00:19 |
| cmaloney | sounds good. Take care and TTYL! | 00:19 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Good morning | 14:19 |
| cmaloney | Hello | 14:22 |
| PhillyMelt02 | how are you today? | 14:24 |
| PhillyMelt02 | brb, diaper duty... | 14:25 |
| cmaloney | Enjoy. :) | 14:25 |
| cmaloney | Having a less diaper-filled day so far. | 14:25 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Back. That wasn't too bad. | 14:29 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I was wondering if any knows of a linux expo held in michigan? | 14:29 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I used to live in Los Angeles and attended SCALE | 14:29 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Was wondering if anything like that existed here? | 14:30 |
| cmaloney | PhillyMelt02: Closest would be Ohio Linuxfest which is a regional conference. | 14:55 |
| cmaloney | http://ohiolinux.org | 14:55 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/ielN4 - Ohio LinuxFest 2014 - The Future of Free | Free and Open Software Conference and Expo - Columbus, Ohio - October 24-26, 2014 | 14:55 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Thanks. I'll have to check it out. Was hoping one would be a little closer to home but it is doable. | 15:02 |
| cmaloney | We do have a local Linux / UNIX users group in the area as well | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | http://mug.org | 15:03 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/XzBZ0f - Michigan!/usr/group | mug.org – A Michigan-based Linux and UNIX Free and Open Source Community | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | August meeting is tomorrow night | 15:03 |
| jrwren | PhillyMelt02: could you describe SCALE? | 15:05 |
| PhillyMelt02 | http://www.socallinuxexpo.org | 15:06 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/IaJ5tP - SCALE 12x | 15:06 |
| PhillyMelt02 | It was a multi-day event with exhibitors and speakers covering a wide range of topics. | 15:06 |
| jrwren | penguicon! | 15:07 |
| PhillyMelt02 | SCALE was cool because you were free to attend the sessions/speakers you wanted without too much hassle. No additional fees/registration required. | 15:08 |
| jrwren | sounds like you should start one here. | 15:08 |
| PhillyMelt02 | From what I saw at SCALE it takes a monumental effort of many dedicated people. I unfortunately don't have the time to take on something that ambitious. | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, apparently MUG tried one back in the old days | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | It is still spoken of in hushed tones. | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | and regarded as a "we won't be doing that again" | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | event | 15:16 |
| PhillyMelt02 | That is too bad. Hopefully MUG may change its mind in the future. | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | This is a long, long time ago. Back when big iron roamed the earth | 15:23 |
| cmaloney | I'm one of the current MUG board members as well. | 15:24 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Cool. Thank you for volunteering your time. | 15:35 |
| jrwren | Mug has been around for a long time. I think MUG tried it in the mid 90s | 15:36 |
| jrwren | MUG has evolved nicely too. I remember around '00 they really were a unix group wiht not much linux focus. Lots of SCO people there. | 15:36 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Funny enough they're cleaning out one of the storage closets at work. They unearthed a SCO box | 15:37 |
| cmaloney | I asked if I could take it to the shooting range. | 15:37 |
| * cmaloney doesn't even normally shoot. | 15:37 | |
| PhillyMelt02 | I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the term SCO | 15:41 |
| cmaloney | SCO was one of the first and most successful PC-based UNIX distributions | 15:42 |
| jrwren | PhillyMelt02: SCO was a popular unix in the 80s and 90s. Linux ate its lunch | 15:42 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Ahh. I wasn't introduced to unix/linux until I attended college in 2002. | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | Unfortunately someone bought the name and IP and decided the best way to compete was to litigate | 15:42 |

| cmaloney | Which is sad because Caldera was pretty nice. | 15:44 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Are the MUG meetings open to non-members? I see there is a scheduled meeting tomorrow in Farmington Hills. | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | Yep. Free as in beer as well | 15:46 |
| jrwren | PhillyMelt02: there are literally countless user group meetings in the area. | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | Well, there's two major ones | 15:47 |
| cmaloney | MUG and MDLUG | 15:47 |
| jrwren | PhillyMelt02: tonight is SEMJS in Ann Arbor, even if you don't use JS much, 100ish smart people go there for meet and greet. | 15:47 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Thank you for the invitation. Unfortunately with my work schedule and the time to get to A2 I won't make it. | 15:51 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I went to UM in A2 so it would be nice to get back there for a visit. | 15:51 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Does SEMJS have regular monthly meetings? | 15:51 |
| jrwren | yes. | 15:51 |
| jrwren | see SEMJS on meetup.com | 15:51 |
| jrwren | Where is your work? | 15:52 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I work from my home about 1.5 hours east of A2. | 15:53 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I do data entry/update for an investment management firm | 15:53 |
| PhillyMelt02 | So my work begins at 4PM when the stock market closes | 15:53 |
| jrwren | ah. There are many detroit area groups. | 15:53 |
| jrwren | http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/mi/detroit/tech/ | 15:54 |
| jrwren | Mobile Monday and Detroit Craftsman Build are particularlly good AFAIK | 15:54 |
| jrwren | oh, and API Craft - they meet Thursday | 15:55 |
| PhillyMelt02 | Thanks for all the info. | 15:56 |
| PhillyMelt02 | I have been wanted to get involved for awhile. | 15:56 |

| brousch | cmaloney: I think I need to study defense or opening moves next. I feel like I'm flopping around blindly with those | 19:21 |
| cmaloney | brousch: You too? :) | 19:21 |

| cmaloney | Well, driving home was fun | 20:48 |
| brousch | did you try it with your eyes closed? | 21:05 |
| greg-g | back in 'merica | 21:44 |
| cmaloney | brousch: No, but we drove in this wet mess down to Dearborn | 23:28 |
| cmaloney | many flooded roads | 23:28 |
| brousch | How does a wet mess compare to a hot mess? | 23:30 |
| cmaloney | a wet mess has a lot more cleanup | 23:34 |
| greg-g | Robin Williams died :( | 23:58 |
| greg-g | I found out because I just got a text from a coworker "Cluster is having load issues, mostly under control" | 23:58 |
| greg-g | got online to learn it was due to his death (and the resulting spike in usage on WP) | 23:58 |
| greg-g | same thing happened for Michael Jackson | 23:58 |
