[18:13] <wxl> hey folks just sent a mail out asking for people to show up tomorrow at noon at #ubuntu-meeting for us to get re-verified. i'm pretty certain it will happen
[18:13]  * belkinsa knows that it will!
[18:13] <wxl> yeah i'm allowing for the slim chance, but it's pretty much in the bag
[18:26] <shirgall> I'll try to make it, although I am not the most active.
[18:26]  * shirgall is on a job hunt.
[18:26] <wxl> shirgall: you don't have to be active. just come support us and bring all your friends :)
[18:26]  * shirgall nods.
[18:26] <wxl> shirgall: i don't remember chatting with you before. where are you at?
[18:27] <shirgall> Ridgefield, WA... worked at Canonical for 3.4 years. Recently worked at Collabora.
[18:28] <wxl> aw cool
[18:28]  * wxl notes that wa != or :)
[18:28] <shirgall> I'm across the river from Portland, so I caucus with youse guys. :)
[18:29] <wxl> you planning on going wherever the jobs are or are you tied to the pdx area?
[18:29] <shirgall> Otherwise I deal with a Seattle-dominated loco. :/
[18:29] <shirgall> I'm getting more open to relocating since I've been looking for about two months now.
[18:31] <wxl> well if something comes up in eug, i'll let you know
[18:31] <wxl> what exact are you looking for?
[18:32] <shirgall> I'm an engineering manager or project manager, although my most recent experience is project
[18:32] <shirgall> Be doing the FOSS thing for a living 14 years, and longer on the side
[18:32] <shirgall> Erm "been"
[18:33] <wxl> ah management
[18:33] <wxl> oddly those seem like the hardest jobs to find
[18:34] <shirgall> Been doing some interviewing, but it's been tough.
[18:34] <shirgall> I might have to get back to coding. I'm rusty.
[18:34] <wxl> what languages you doo?
[18:34] <shirgall> I did most things in C and Perl. I was a systems programmer.
[18:34] <shirgall> Been poking around Go lately.
[18:35] <shirgall> I did enough C++ to check the box, but the only thing I really did there was code reviews.
[18:37] <wxl> well i'll put the word out there
[18:37] <shirgall> Thanks, I appreciate it.
[18:37] <wxl> hm, that might be an interesting thing for the loco to do
[18:37] <wxl> have a job board
[18:37] <wxl> are you an ubuntu member? i assume you are
[18:38] <shirgall> I'm not, I didn't actively maintain anything. I did OEM projects.
[18:38] <wxl> ah
[18:38] <shirgall> And before Canonical I was at IBM.
[18:38] <wxl> wow rad
[18:38] <wxl> there's got to be a job out there for you
[18:38] <wxl> what email is good for you? feel free to /msg
[18:39] <shirgall> Lot of on the ground experience with SLES, RHEL, and Ubuntu, as you can imagine. Debian too, in the past year.
[18:39] <shirgall> jrp@pun.org
[18:39] <wxl> that's punny
[18:39] <shirgall> Yup
[18:40] <wxl> i'll be in touch

[18:41] <shirgall> Sure, thanks
[18:41] <shirgall> Off to the treadmill for me now.
[19:57] <bkerensa> shirgall: you can go back to Canonical? :)
[20:10] <shirgall> bkerensa: I didn't burn my bridges, but so far they haven't shown much interest
