[00:49] <ianorlinqt> wow only 2 people signed up as booth volunteers so far
[00:50] <ianorlinqt> on the wiki or is there another space?
[01:11] <nhaines> ianorlinqt: Just the wiki.
[01:21] <nhandler> Well, I just found out that Yelp is sponsoring the event and that we have someone speaking. Not getting my hopes up, but I submitted my name as someone interested in attending. So we'll see
[01:25] <nhaines> nhandler: good luck!
[01:26] <nhandler> nhaines: Thanks. It probably doesn't help that I am in talks with my manager right now about getting the company to let me attend two other events, but we shall see. From everything I have been seeing, it should be a great event
[01:30] <nhaines> Haha
[01:30] <nhaines> It's going to be fantastic.  It always is in the first place, but it's going to continue to improve.
[01:31] <nhaines> I'm going to be on an Ubuntu Leadership panel at UbuCon on Friday, prepresenting the LoCo Council.
[01:32] <nhaines> I definitely didn't imagine myself sitting along Mark Shuttleworth on a panel 8 years ago when I started Ubuntu advocacy.  Or last year, really.  :P
[01:38] <nhandler> nhaines: You definitely deserve to be up there :)
[01:38] <nhaines> nhandler: Aww, thanks. :)
[01:39] <nhaines> I'm going to pretend I do, anyway.  Because as these things go, you can only feign experience and legitimacy so long before you have it!
[01:49] <akk> Somebody, Sarah Mei I think, gave a talk on public speaking at She's Geeky a couple years back where she talked about the big lie
[01:49] <akk> where you're pretending that you're confident and know you belong there
[01:49] <akk> and it's all a big lie, and maybe some of the audience even knows it's a lie, but that's okay, as long as you pretend, it'll be a good talk.
[01:49] <akk> (She said it better, I wish I remembered quite how.)
[02:04] <nhaines> Yup, been saying that for years.
[02:48] <pleia2> nhaines: the event, ubucon?
[02:48] <pleia2> err nhandler
[02:48] <pleia2> darnit
[02:48] <pleia2> one of you is going to have to move
[02:48] <pleia2> I kid, I kid <3
[02:57] <akk> One of them really should change his name. :)
