[00:41] <nhaines> Okay, looks like Ubuntu California got funds accepted for the SCALE booth, so time to crack the whip on the signup sheet, because we're all getting Ubuntu polo shirts.
[01:09] <DonkeyHotei> nhaines: is there a deadline?
[01:10] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: end of January.
[01:11] <pleia2> nhaines: nice work!
[01:12] <DonkeyHotei> crap
[01:13] <DonkeyHotei> i don't expect to have employment by the end of january, and employment would be required for making the trip
[01:13] <nhaines> What size shirt do you wear?
[01:14] <DonkeyHotei> me? L or XL depending on brand
[01:15] <nhaines> I could've sworn the Canonical Store had sizing information.
[01:16] <nhaines> Well, if we have extras I'll order you an XL.
[01:17] <DonkeyHotei> previous ubu-ca shirts i got were all L
[01:18] <nhaines> These are polo shirts.
[01:58] <nhaines> ianorlin: give me your SCALE registration number, please!
[02:17] <ianorlin> 321
[02:18] <ianorlin> nhaines ^^
[02:20] <nhaines> ianorlin: thanks!
[02:20] <nhaines> I think two years ago my number was 16.  <3
[02:20] <nhaines> Which is a nice round number.
[05:39] <pleia2> I was going to wait until I heard more, but it's public information and important to pass along
[05:39] <pleia2> eps has passed away
[05:39] <pleia2> a couple folks have written about it in the other communities he's part of

[05:41] <pleia2> this is very hard for me, I need some time, but I'll be at BerkeleyLUG on Sunday
[05:42] <nhaines> The one thing that stood out to me about eps was that he was very reliable.  Always helped out at SCALE and was so reliable as to almost be easy to take for granted.
[05:42] <nhaines> This is certainly a big loss to the communities he was in.
[05:42]  * pleia2 nods
[05:46] <pleia2> oh gosh, now I have to go clean the pasta cooker he got for me when he learned I didn't cook :(
[05:47] <pleia2> it goes in the microwave, pretty much the best thing ever
[05:47] <nhaines> I was just pondering his recipe for mac & cheese.
[05:49] <pleia2> I enjoyed some good pasta tonight thanks to that cooker
[05:49] <pleia2> aaand I'm too upset to computer anymore, night all
[05:51] <nhaines> Good night, pleia2.
[05:52] <ianorlin> thzt ix xzc
[05:56] <DonkeyHotei> omfg
[05:56] <ianorlin> that is sad
[05:57] <DonkeyHotei> i've known him since the '90s
[07:00] <nhaines> So it looks like I'm about to pay for 5 SCALE volunteers to go to SCALE.  That's a $350 value that is being gratefully provided to booth volunteers!
[07:08] <nhaines> !cookie
[07:08] <darthrobot> nhaines: Error: "cookie" is not a valid command.
[07:08] <Eureka> Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!
[07:08] <nhaines> Boo.

[07:09] <darthrobot> Title: [[sf-lug] In memoriam: Eric P. Scott]
[07:10] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: would you send me the details on the memorial once they're known?  I can post to the Ubuntu California ML then.
[07:11] <DonkeyHotei> nhaines: best way to keep abreast is to RSVP directly
[07:11] <nhaines> I'm not going.  I'd like to have the information so that I can make an announcement on the mailing list.
[07:12] <DonkeyHotei> you can say that in your RSVP.
[07:12] <nhaines> If I'm not going, it's not an RSVP.  And I'm sure he has more important things to worry about then emailing me.
[07:13] <DonkeyHotei> au contraire
[07:13] <DonkeyHotei> he asked for exactly this
[07:20] <nhaines> Okay, that's sent off then.
