You can have this session all in IRC if you want or you can have Hangouts On Air also. [19:48] only drussel pointed out the error [19:49] inetpro in your court sir [19:50] hmm... [19:50] belkinsa if its on irc ill join np [19:51] sounds interesting [19:51] http://uds.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/propose-a-session/ for more info [19:52] elacheche_anis are you paying attention [19:52] belkinsa: when is the deadline? [19:52] I also sent that message to your mailing-list [19:53] May 5th before the start of the UOS, but it can be flexable. You can have a last minute one. [19:53] will have to think about it and talk to others [19:54] Alright, I'm just here to throw the idea to you guys. [19:54] ty for thinking of us [19:54] good idea, thanks belkinsa [19:54] * elacheche_anis is back.. Let him read all that [19:54] Not a problem. [19:55] we could also go for the next session right?

The days are only 14 UTC to 20 UTC for three days. [19:58] Great idea.. For my self I'll try to attend that session if there is any.. My TZ is UTC+1 and I work during UOS.. So I can't manage a thing (sorry) just I'll try to attend.. [19:58] One of the track leads was at work during the last one and I was in class during one of the days from the last one. [19:59] * elacheche_anis will brb.. Have a meeting on our IRC..
