[02:31] <rww> ianorlin: pleia2's nominated you for the leadership elections. please let me know whether you accept :)
[02:31] <rww> Also, if anyone else was planning on running, you have 30 minutes.
[02:33] <DonkeyHotei> nice
[02:49] <ianorlin> I accept
[02:50] <rww> danke :)
[02:50] <rww> yay a real election this year
[02:58] <nhaines> Thanks for running, ianorlin!
[02:59] <rww> Hrm, CIVS is being easier than I expected. I might just set it all up and start the voting period early (and end it on the same date as announced).
[03:00] <nhaines> I ordered new Ubuntu business cards last night.  Assuming the PGP key isn't bisected by the trim :shakes fist: they should look pretty nice.
[03:00] <rww> is it your pgp key this time
[03:00] <nhaines> The 'job title' field changed from "Community Advocate" to "Local Community Council".  Which is weird by nice.
[03:00] <nhaines> rww: for once it is.
[03:02] <rww> yay
[03:03] <nhaines> s/by/but/
[03:03] <pleia2> our business cards at work are free form title-wise, our super cool bosses just need to approve
[03:03] <pleia2> I haven't taken advantage yet, but...
[03:03] <rww> pleia2: can you link that LPl script for getting emails again
[03:03] <nhaines> "Cloud Specialist and Browser of Cat Photos"
[03:04] <pleia2> rww: https://github.com/YokoZar/lp-election-helper

[03:04] <darthrobot> Title: [Kittenwar! May The Cutest Kitten Win!]
[03:06] <pleia2> I'm thinking more like Supreme Empress of Cloud Infrastructure
[03:07] <rww> "Failing that, it will look for a GPG key on the account and use the email address located there." lol, sneaky
[03:07] <pleia2> :)
[03:07] <elky> our cat keeps trying to eat the lettuce in my dinner
[03:08] <rww> lettuce is clearly a cat food
[03:09] <pleia2> my cat doesn't believe lettuce is food, he is normal, I think something is wrong with yours
[03:09] <pleia2> :)
[03:10] <pleia2> he did like cantaloupe as a kitten though
[03:10] <nhaines> My cat used to bite all the avocados.
[03:10] <elky> this one thinks anything he can swallow is a food
[03:10] <pleia2> hehe
[03:10] <elky> and he inhales food
[03:10] <elky> so if you leave something within his reach...
[03:11] <pleia2> nhaines: how california of them :)
[03:12] <rww> pleia2: he's secretly a dog
[03:12] <rww> he eats everything
[03:12] <elky> including pebbles he finds near the door
[03:12] <pleia2> x_x
[03:12] <nhaines> elky: they might be scouts.
[03:12] <nhaines> Have to eat them before the other pebbles arrive.
[03:13] <elky> yes, we have accident insurance for him
[03:13] <pleia2> good call
[03:13] <elky> we can't get other health insurance for him since he's a herpes kitty
[03:13]  * nhaines doesn't buy insurance for pets.
[03:13] <nhaines> If my cat gets sick he'd better eat some grass.
[03:34] <nhaines> rww: are we voting yet?
[03:35] <pleia2> mine have insurance too, which is good since my Siamese now has renal failure, and that got expensive quickly :\
[03:36]  * nhaines prescribes more grass.
[03:37] <pleia2> heh
[03:37] <pleia2> we've kept her hydrated and lousy kidneys functioning with injected fluids every other day
[03:37] <pleia2> for 3 years
[03:43]  * ianorlin might need ot end up with busness cards
[03:44] <nhaines> ianorlin: I'll write a testimonial for your Ubuntu membership application!
[03:44] <ianorlin> ok
[03:44] <DonkeyHotei> why do we still need dead trees for that in this day and age?
[03:45] <nhaines> Because we're not Jono.
[03:45] <ianorlin> need some form of backup for contact
[03:50] <pleia2> human memory is bad and portable electronics have poor battery life
[03:51] <ianorlin> and get lost as well
[04:43] <rww> nhaines: Yep! Emails going out now to people with LP-discoverable emails, then I get to chase up everyone else.
[04:47] <pleia2> ya vote!
[04:51] <nhaines> I have now cast the ceremonial first vote.
[04:51] <nhaines> By which I mean I'm just claiming I was first.
[04:53] <rww> 5 people so far :P
[04:54]  * ianorlin thinks having the canidates be active and be able to quickly respond is good
[04:59] <nhaines> rww: I was the first though.  :P
[04:59] <nhaines> ianorlin: +1
=== Guest90584 is now known as dk
[22:11] <pleia2> ok, the rain was fun when I was like "oooh I can use my new OpenCompute UMBRELLA! and my poor neglected raincoat!"
[22:11] <pleia2> my umbrella broke today, and my feet are wet, I don't like the rain anymore
[22:11] <pleia2> (how am I doing as a Californian?)
[22:22] <blitz> I love the rain :D I wore my raincoat and it was fun
[22:22] <blitz> splish splash
[23:52] <pleia2> hooray! Confirmed Gandi.net offices downtown for our Xubuntu QA Global Jam in February :)
[23:53] <DonkeyHotei> aren't they in france?
[23:53] <pleia2> not their san francisco office
[23:54] <DonkeyHotei> didn't realize they had one
[23:54] <pleia2> yeah, a few of their employees came to our release party at adroll, so we got talking about venues
[23:54] <pleia2> they're really supportive folks, give debian developers and Ubuntu Members domain and hosting discounts and things
[23:55] <DonkeyHotei> i've been considering S3 for personal hosting
[23:57] <DonkeyHotei> thoughts?
[23:58] <pleia2> I've never used it
[23:59] <pleia2> I work on OpenStack all day long, Amazon services are not my forte ;) and I still use actual servers and VPSs for off-site storage/backups
