dpmdholbach, have you found out more about IoT hardware to bring to the Summit? I spoke to Abi yesterday and she said she can pack orange matchboxes in her luggage, but she wasn't too sure about being able to pack a spider drone in the suitcase :)12:10

mhall119davidcalle: that was basically the tl;dr of the call14:59
davidcalleAll I want for Christmas is decent Internet ♫15:00
balloonsbah, I hear you davidcalle. I'm happy enough to simply have it15:01
balloonscount your blessings in that regard too ;-)15:01
davidcalle:)15:01
davidcalleNot sure if it has been relayed by popey during the call, but Jolla is apparently getting some more financing, great news for them :)15:03
mhall119yup, at least for the software side, still unsure about the hardware15:09
mhall119did anyone else lose connection to canonical's IRC servers?15:10
davidcallemhall119: yep15:11
mhall119ah, #canonical-sysadmin /topic says there's a network issue15:12
dholbachbelkinsa: you might want to join the community council irc channel15:18
popeydholbach, did you break your mx4? and did I hear you got it repaired?16:00
dholbachpopey: yes16:00
popeybroken screen?16:01
* mhall119 suspects popey broke his MX416:01
dholbachnow it has a white front, golden back :)16:01
popeywhere'd you get it fixed?16:01
popeyooh look, we got a sherlock over here!16:01
dholbachpopey: yes, the screen flickered in the morning, by noon the screen didn't work at all any more16:01
dholbachpopey: I mailed it to meizu.it16:01
dholbachpopey: I was in touch with info@meizu.it16:02
popeythanks16:02
popeydid it cost much?16:02
dholbachthey'll need your order reference16:02

dholbachyes, mine mine16:03
popeyok16:03
popeyi guess mine wont be as it's cracked16:04
dholbachmh16:04
dpmpopey, mhall119, dholbach, balloons, what do you think about doing a post on the social accounts with the registration URL for UbuCon in meetup? I think it would generate more awareness, but I'm also thinking that it might get quite a lot of folks to register who might not actually be coming16:16
balloonsI don't see it as an issue. I wouldn't bother going through the signup process if I wasn't planning to attend16:17
popeyyeah16:17
popeyditto16:17
balloonsif it helps, meetup also keeps stats on you as a person if you never show for things that others can see. A sense of your flakiness if you will16:18
mhall119dame16:23
mhall119same16:23
mhall119dpm: maybe linking to the ubucon.org registration page would be better than Meetup.com alone16:24
dholbachI like the idea16:24
dpmok, let me do this once I've finished the next call16:28
=== dpm is now known as dpm-afk
pleia2mhall119: I am not sure how to fill out this sponsorship form :) it's not a pdf that evince can edit...18:38
pleia2it's too late for $$ sponsorship, but we'd like to do the in-kind one for sending me18:38
mhall119pleia2: yeah, the instructions I have are to print it, fill it out, scan it and email it back18:39
pleia2good grief :)18:39
pleia2ok18:39
mhall119pleia2: well, I suppose you could fax it ;)18:39
pleia2haha18:40
pleia2I'll take care of this this afternoon18:40
mhall119dpm-afk: for the next one, let's see if we can do an online form for sponsors18:40
pleia2++18:40
pleia2the .pdf was nice to send to the OSPO, but as far as filling it out...18:40
mhall119I wonder if google docs (original source for the pdf) can do forms in documents18:41
* pleia2 to dentist18:41
mhall119pleia2: FWIW, this was model directly after the sponsorship brochure from the last in-person UDS18:41
wxlare you guys talking about sponsorship to go to ubucon?18:41
wxlsummit that is18:42
mhall119wxl: corporate sponsors of UbuCon18:42
wxloh ok18:42
wxldo you think it likely that i could get sponsorship to just show up?18:43
mhall119wxl: you can apply for community donations funds, but unless we get some financial sponsorship from other companies, we're going to be limited in how many of those we can approve18:43
mhall119and it's already being used to send speakers/organizers for UbuCon18:44
wxli understand18:45
wxlis there anyway i might be able to get in through helping in some way?18:45
mhall119wxl: it will ultimately come down to the cost of sending you and the available funds, but you can ask nhaines if there's something you can do to help with logistics18:46
wxlokie dokie. thanks mhall119 as always :)18:46
