[07:38] <dholbach> good morning
[09:29]  * dholbach relocates to the office, brb
[12:10] <dpm> dholbach, 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 :)
[12:47] <dholbach> dpm: I'll ask now - sorry, I forgot
[12:48] <dpm> thanks dholbach
[12:54] <zergless> oh that ubuntu coding thing is stargint today? or was it last week?
[12:55] <dpm> zergless, http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/google-code-in (started last week)
[14:57] <dholbach> mhall119: ok... so UOS dates is my work item now? :)
[14:58] <dholbach> but yeah... can do
[14:58] <mhall119> dholbach: if you'd rather do all the setup of summit.ubuntu.com, I'll trade you :)
[14:58] <davidcalle> dpm: dholbach, popey , balloons , mhall119 oh the irony, my network works fine now and I'm alone in the room
[14:59]  * dpm hugs davidcalle
[14:59] <davidcalle> At least I heard "good work" :p
[14:59] <popey> heh
[14:59] <mhall119> davidcalle: that was basically the tl;dr of the call
[15:00] <davidcalle> All I want for Christmas is decent Internet ♫
[15:01] <balloons> bah, I hear you davidcalle. I'm happy enough to simply have it
[15:01] <balloons> count your blessings in that regard too ;-)
[15:01] <davidcalle> :)
[15:03] <davidcalle> Not sure if it has been relayed by popey during the call, but Jolla is apparently getting some more financing, great news for them :)
[15:09] <mhall119> yup, at least for the software side, still unsure about the hardware
[15:10] <mhall119> did anyone else lose connection to canonical's IRC servers?
[15:11] <davidcalle> mhall119: yep
[15:12] <mhall119> ah, #canonical-sysadmin /topic says there's a network issue
[15:18] <dholbach> belkinsa: you might want to join the community council irc channel
[16:00] <popey> dholbach, did you break your mx4? and did I hear you got it repaired?
[16:00] <dholbach> popey: yes
[16:01] <popey> broken screen?
[16:01]  * mhall119 suspects popey broke his MX4
[16:01] <dholbach> now it has a white front, golden back :)
[16:01] <popey> where'd you get it fixed?
[16:01] <popey> ooh look, we got a sherlock over here!
[16:01] <dholbach> popey: yes, the screen flickered in the morning, by noon the screen didn't work at all any more
[16:01] <dholbach> popey: I mailed it to meizu.it
[16:02] <dholbach> popey: I was in touch with info@meizu.it
[16:02] <popey> thanks
[16:02] <popey> did it cost much?
[16:02] <dholbach> they'll need your order reference
[16:02] <dholbach> it was covered by warranty
[16:03] <popey> hah, mine isn't mine, it's canonical
[16:03] <popey> and I have no such warranty
[16:03] <dholbach> hum
[16:03] <popey> is yours yours?
[16:03] <dholbach> maybe you just ask them? I have no idea
[16:03] <dholbach> yes, mine mine
[16:03] <popey> ok
[16:04] <popey> i guess mine wont be as it's cracked
[16:04] <dholbach> mh
[16:16] <dpm> popey, 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 coming
[16:17] <balloons> I don't see it as an issue. I wouldn't bother going through the signup process if I wasn't planning to attend
[16:17] <popey> yeah
[16:17] <popey> ditto
[16:18] <balloons> if 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 will
[16:23] <mhall119> dame
[16:23] <mhall119> same
[16:24] <mhall119> dpm: maybe linking to the ubucon.org registration page would be better than Meetup.com alone
[16:24] <dholbach> I like the idea
[16:28] <dpm> ok, let me do this once I've finished the next call
[18:38] <pleia2> mhall119: I am not sure how to fill out this sponsorship form :) it's not a pdf that evince can edit...
[18:38] <pleia2> it's too late for $$ sponsorship, but we'd like to do the in-kind one for sending me
[18:39] <mhall119> pleia2: yeah, the instructions I have are to print it, fill it out, scan it and email it back
[18:39] <pleia2> good grief :)
[18:39] <pleia2> ok
[18:39] <mhall119> pleia2: well, I suppose you could fax it ;)
[18:40] <pleia2> haha
[18:40] <pleia2> I'll take care of this this afternoon
[18:40] <mhall119> dpm-afk: for the next one, let's see if we can do an online form for sponsors
[18:40] <pleia2> ++
[18:40] <pleia2> the .pdf was nice to send to the OSPO, but as far as filling it out...
[18:41] <mhall119> I wonder if google docs (original source for the pdf) can do forms in documents
[18:41]  * pleia2 to dentist
[18:41] <mhall119> pleia2: FWIW, this was model directly after the sponsorship brochure from the last in-person UDS
[18:41] <wxl> are you guys talking about sponsorship to go to ubucon?
[18:42] <wxl> summit that is
[18:42] <mhall119> wxl: corporate sponsors of UbuCon
[18:42] <wxl> oh ok
[18:43] <wxl> do you think it likely that i could get sponsorship to just show up?
[18:43] <mhall119> wxl: 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 approve
[18:44] <mhall119> and it's already being used to send speakers/organizers for UbuCon
[18:45] <wxl> i understand
[18:45] <wxl> is there anyway i might be able to get in through helping in some way?
[18:46] <mhall119> wxl: 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 logistics
[18:46] <wxl> okie dokie. thanks mhall119 as always :)
[18:47] <mhall119> np
[19:53] <wxl> here's a team for you Ingress players https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ingressors
[20:06] <balloons> ohh jose will love you
[20:07] <jose> balloons: I've already explored hollywood and surroundings ;)
[20:07] <jose> oh, and google as well
[20:11] <balloons> requiring real world movement is a good thing
