[19:39] <jbermudes> Looks like Debian's founder Ian Murdock passed away last night (or Monday night?) :(

[19:43] <pleia2> :(
[21:28] <nhaines> ianorlin: can you get me your SCALE registration number and email address, in an email or PM?  https://reg.socallinuxexpo.org/reg6/reg_lookup/
[21:29] <nhaines> pleia2: my registration number this year is 24.  Which is better but not as nice as a couple years back when it was 64.  :)
[21:36] <DonkeyHotei> nhaines: are they still doing booth passes even though canonical has their own booth?
[23:30] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: I don't understand the question.
[23:31] <nhaines> Everyone at SCALE needs a pass.
[23:31] <nhaines> (UbuCon Summit attendance is free and does not require a pass.)
[23:31] <DonkeyHotei> for example, this past year, there was a conference pack from canonical with a handful of free passes for booth volunteers
[23:32] <nhaines> I never heard of it.
[23:32] <nhaines> Canonical wasn't at SCALE last year.
[23:32] <DonkeyHotei> and now they are, so i assumed it would be different
[23:32] <DonkeyHotei> you always collected unpaid registration numbers to have them covered
[23:33] <nhaines> Yes, so that I can cover them with the Ubuntu exhibitor kit.
[23:33] <akk> Speaking of passes, I haven't seen anything about whether speakers are automatically registered, or should register.
[23:33] <pleia2> we have our own booth and canonical has their own booth, we both get passes
[23:33] <pleia2> they are next to each other
[23:33] <nhaines> akk: It's definitely one of those!
[23:33] <akk> nhaines: Thanks, that clears it right up! :)
[23:34] <pleia2> haha
[23:34] <nhaines> I'll probably just ask Gareth next Wednesday when we talk, because I realized I didn't know whether to comp my registration because I'm a speaker.
[23:34] <nhaines> It's also why I didn't ask pleia2 for her registration number!
[23:34] <DonkeyHotei> so, there's still an exhibitor kit for the loco booth despite canonical being next door?
[23:34] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: all exhibitors get an exhibitor kit.
[23:35] <pleia2> I haven't registered yet
[23:35] <DonkeyHotei> oh, sorry, i thought it was a canonical thing
[23:35] <pleia2> no comp for me since I'm not speaking at actual scale, just events before it
[23:35] <nhaines> pleia2: UbuCon counts, last I heard.
[23:36] <pleia2> nhaines: I never got a speaker registration code or whatever
[23:36] <nhaines> pleia2: I'll ask Gareth what's up.
[23:36] <nhaines> DonkeyHotei: even if for some reason Canonical were handling registrations, I would still be collecting registrations for the LoCo on behalf of Canonical.
[23:38] <nhaines> But in actuality, it's much more likely that I'll be organizing both booths as a single booth.
[23:38] <nhaines> Although Canonical's plans are so similar to mine that it comes down to more of a technicality than any practical difference.
[23:39] <DonkeyHotei> i'm still considering not going
[23:40] <nhaines> Why not?
[23:41] <DonkeyHotei> it still depends on a lot of things that are yet to be determined, plus i have a jury summons for the week of the 25th
[23:55] <MarkDude> Tell them "you can tell if someone is guilty by looking at them."
[23:56] <akk> Ha, that would probably work.
[23:57] <akk> But telling them you're a computer engineer (or scientist, or anything else technical) is usually enough.
[23:58] <nhaines> "I'm an expert in Internet law."
[23:58] <akk> Ooh, anything smelling of lawyer is even better.
