[00:13] <nhaines> nhandler: thanks!  We may yet find something for you to do.  :)  Alternatively, booth volunteers are welcome!  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x
[00:15] <nchambers> \o/ I just got set for scale
[00:18] <nhaines> nchambers: hope to see you there!  :)
[00:18] <nchambers> I can't wait
[00:18] <nchambers> its all I can talk about :D
[00:20] <nhaines> Is it your first SCALE?
[00:20] <nchambers> my first conference of any kind :D
[00:21] <nchambers> and freenode keeps telling me SCALE is best
[00:21] <nhaines> SCALE really is sort of the best.  :)
[00:21] <nchambers> :3 I'm so giddy
[00:22] <nchambers> got the hotel figured out, got the ticket ready to buy once payday comes, about to get the time off
[00:23] <nhaines> If you volunteer to be at the Ubuntu booth, your SCALE pass is free!
[00:24] <nchambers> oh really?
[00:24] <nchambers> sign me up chief
[00:24] <nhaines> You can see more about it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale14x
[00:25] <pleia2> I'm going to start banning certain combinations of letters in nicks over a certain threshold
[00:25] <pleia2> (I kid, I kid, but I did have to read nchambers' nick a few times)
[00:25] <nchambers> :D
[00:25] <nhaines> If one of those shifts works for you (and we can be flexible, too), just send me an email at nhaines@ubuntu.com with the shift and your shirt size and your SCALE registration number.
[00:25] <nchambers> will do!
[00:26] <nhaines> So if you want an excuse to play with an Ubuntu phone (can't tell others about it until you've used it, right?) then volunteering is a good idea.  Plus, your exhibitor badge is a full-access pass.  Gets you into talks and everything.

[00:30] <nhaines> And now I have to run over to Party City and pick up tablecloths.  Thanks to the community funds, I'm going to get an orange and a purple flannel-backed table cover that we can reuse in the future.
[00:30] <pleia2> ooh fancy, much better than the dollar store plastic ones I used to bring
[00:30] <nchambers> oooo
[00:30] <nchambers> I will so be abooth volunteer
[00:32] <nhandler> nhaines: I just finished my first draft of my schedule. Looks like I do have a gap from 14:15-17:00  on Friday. So I can't quite do the full 2-6pm shift, but I can definitely help out a bit if you need it
[00:33] <Adran> nhaines: you're out here ? :o
[00:33] <Adran> err nhandler
[00:34] <Adran> you going to be at the scales?
[00:34] <nhandler> Adran: I'm in San Francisco as of ~August
[00:34] <Adran> so thats a no then. :D
[00:35] <nhaines> nhandler will be at the scales!
[00:35] <nchambers> nhaines, do I have to decide a shift or can I just say any?
[00:36] <Adran> nhandler: nhaines: meetup?
[00:36] <Adran> i mea can't do denys anymore. :(
[00:36] <Adran> both a blessing and a curse
[00:36] <nhaines> nchambers: it helps with planning if you can choose now, and if there's a talk or something you want to see then we'll work around that.  But if you promise you'll be at the booth for at least 3 hours during the weekend, I'll register your badge.  :)
[00:37] <nchambers> nhaines, You'll have trouble keeping me away
[00:37] <nchambers> I'll just give you a day and time, and make a note that its flexible
[00:40] <nhaines> That's perfect.
[00:40] <nchambers> does it matter which ticket I choose?
[00:40] <nhaines> But don't worry, we *always* try to work around speaker times and things.  We want everyone to be able to enjoy SCALE as well!
[00:40] <nhaines> Yes, pick the Full Access pass.
[00:40] <nchambers> ok thank! (sorry for berating you with questions. just a bit out of it :D)
[00:41] <nchambers> oh I know right now I'll have a blast :D
[00:41] <nhaines> Nope, all standard procedure.  :)
[00:41] <nhaines> Are you going to be at Ubucon on Thursday and Friday?
[00:41] <Adran> lol
[00:41] <nhaines> pleia2: when I come back I'm going to create the Wednesday and Thursday party events on Meetup.
[00:41] <Adran> nhaines: These vendor badges are so nice. :D
[00:41] <Adran> lol
[00:41] <Adran> Although I ran out :(
[00:42] <nhaines> Adran: haha, yeah, they're a big incentive.
[00:42] <nhaines> If you *really* need one or two more, you can probably email SCALE about it.
[00:42] <nchambers> is Ubucon the same thing as Scale?
[00:42] <Adran> lol
[00:42] <Adran> nhaines: I'm bringing 100+ people already
[00:43] <Adran> I don't think they want me to bring too many more.
[00:43] <Adran> lol
[00:43] <nhaines> UbuCon Summit is a mini-conference being held at SCALE on Thursday and Friday.
[00:43] <nhaines> Adran: might be hard to pack them all into the booth.  :)
[00:43] <nchambers> ah
[00:43] <Adran> NOT ALL VENDOR BADGES*
[00:43] <nhaines> nhandler: http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-summit-us/
[00:43] <nhaines> Lots of notable speakers from Ubuntu and Canonical.  And I don't just mean me!  Also pleia2 and Mark Shuttleworth!
[00:44] <Adran> lol
[00:44] <nchambers> I can definitely go Friday. I get off work at 2 so I'll be heading over then
[00:44] <nchambers> err I get off work at 2 on Thursday
[00:44] <Adran> I have an affinity to Ubucon even though I nolonger use Ubuntu
[00:44] <Adran> Since everyone here was so welcoming back when I first went to SCALE
[00:44] <nhaines> nhandler: It'll be worth it, because there's still the after party.
[00:44] <nchambers> wrong person btw
[00:44] <nhaines> Adran: you are still welcome around UbuCon and the Ubuntu booth!  :)
[00:44] <Adran> :)
[00:44] <nhaines> d'oh, it got me, lol.
[00:44] <Adran> nhaines: I just take your medical grade candy
[00:44] <nchambers> LD
[00:44] <Adran> ;)
[00:45] <nhaines> Adran: haha, I'm about to go pick some up.
[00:45] <Adran> lolo
[00:45] <nhaines> Okay, talk to everyone in an hour or two!  Off to get booth supplies.
[00:45] <Adran> lol
[00:45] <Adran> Thanks for reminding me, I need to get our tablecloth cleaned
[00:45]  * Adran poofs as well
[00:46] <nhandler> nhaines: I know, I'm quite excited for the talks. Trying to balance seeing talks by people I know and stuff I should be seeing for $work. I shared my planned schedule with you if you are interested (I have you and pleia2 in there, don't worry)
[00:46] <Adran> nhandler: you'll be at the ubu booth?
[00:46] <nhandler> Adran: Yep. Can't do a full shift, but I'll keep you all company
[00:46] <nchambers> :D I can't wait to meet everyone
[00:47] <Adran> nhandler: I'll make sure to ping you when I get there.
[00:47] <Adran> if you even use irc there, i generally switch to hangouts
[00:48] <nhandler> Adran: ZNC will push hilights/PMs to my phone, so I'll see them. Hangouts works too.
[00:48] <Adran> mmk
[01:23] <nchambers> nhaines, email sent :D
[01:37] <nhaines> nchambers: thanks! I'll add you to the wiki when I get home
[01:37] <nchambers> alright! thank you!
[23:42] <nchambers> nhaines, sorry to bug you again, but just to confirm my ticket is all good right?
