| mariano_ | Anyone here going to ubucon? | 19:34 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | o/ | 19:35 |
| mariano_ | Is o/ an mirc sad face? I take it you won't be able to go? | 19:40 |
| pleia2 | it's a head+arm being raised ;) | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | I am one of the speakers | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | so I will be there | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | nhaines too | 19:41 |
| mariano_ | Oh damn, no kidding. I just signed up to go. I hope I'm not completely lost during the talks, given that I'm a complete linux noob. | 19:42 |
| pleia2 | great! the organizers have tried to get talks at all different levels, so I'm sure there will be talks you can follow | 19:42 |
| nhaines | I am also going and will be a speaker. :) | 19:44 |
| mariano_ | Oh man, I'm pretty excited about this since I never really get to talk about linux with anyone lol. I get blank stares when I talk about it. | 19:45 |
| pleia2 | haha, we've all been there :) | 19:45 |
| nhaines | mariano_: you'll love Ubucon. The talks will be great and we'll have a party afterward where you can get to know others and chat about Ubuntu or anything else. :) | 19:45 |
| nhaines | Although really, all of SCALE is like that too. :D | 19:45 |
| mariano_ | My wife just said, "oh honey, that's so good. I'm glad you'll make friends you can talk computers with." haha | 19:46 |
| mariano_ | Is the party taking place at the same place? | 19:46 |
| nhaines | haha :) | 19:46 |
| nhaines | The plan for the party is across the street at a restaurant in the shopping plaza. | 19:47 |
| mariano_ | I was planning to get an all access pass for scale too, but do you guys think they have enough entry level talks? | 19:48 |
| nhaines | Yes, definitely. There's a wide, wide range of talks for various skill levels. Don't forget to use the coupon code "UBNTU" for 50% off. | 19:48 |
| mariano_ | I will, thanks. I had no idea there was this level of ubuntu (and linux) enthusiasm around los angeles. | 19:50 |
| nhaines | Yup, SCALE's one of the best conferences around, especially for newcomer friendliness. | 19:51 |
| pleia2 | I'm coming down from San Francisco for it, it's one of the best and biggest open source conferences in the country :) | 19:53 |
| mariano_ | Wou, I didn't realize it was that big. I live about 10 minutes away from the place. Yea, it will be great to meet some people, maybe pick up some merchandise. ;) | 19:54 |
| nhaines | It should be fun! I'll be signing copies of my book in between talks and other things. | 19:57 |
| nhaines | pleia2: you should sign my copy of your book! <3 | 19:57 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: of course :) will copies of your book be there? | 20:02 |
| nhaines | pleia2: yes, the publisher is sending me a box of 20! So I'll be giving them out regularly throught the conference. | 20:03 |
| pleia2 | nice | 20:03 |
| nhaines | Plus I have a copy for you, if you'd like one. | 20:04 |
| pleia2 | that would be lovely :) | 20:04 |
| pleia2 | so I finally figured out why I hadn't heard back about my scale talk | 20:04 |
| pleia2 | turns out the "devops" track is actually for devops days, which had a separate CFP and deadlines and notifications from everything else (kind of like ubucon) | 20:05 |
| pleia2 | and it's on Friday :( during Ubucon | 20:05 |
| pleia2 | when submitting the talk it was in the dropdown like every other track, so I had no idea | 20:05 |
| nhaines | Aww! | 20:06 |
| pleia2 | I guess I'll know for next year, thoroughly research all the tracks to confirm they are ones happening on Sat-Sun | 20:10 |
| pleia2 | x_x | 20:10 |
| nhaines | This week in wikipage editing: remembering that other thing you needed to change as soon as you hit "Save". | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | story of my life | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | (it's kind of a boring life) | 23:37 |
| nhaines | Haha | 23:39 |
