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