| markwalt | Hi guys. I note that there are about 30 members awaiting approval on launchpad. Is new membership suspended? | 22:46 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | ooo, I'd better look | 22:51 |
| markwalt | I might be reading the site wrong, but it looks like some of the pending members have been pending for four years. | 22:53 |
| valorie | that is probably right | 22:53 |
| valorie | since a few key people left, nobody has been minding the store | 22:54 |
| valorie | and I'm too busy to do it, but I might be able to approve members | 22:54 |
| valorie | I'll look | 22:54 |
| markwalt | Well, if you're taking volunteers, I'd volunteer to mind it. I have time :-) | 22:55 |
| markwalt | back in a sec. Gonna switch to a real IRC client. | 22:58 |
| valorie | ooo, tukwila | 23:00 |
| valorie | you are local! | 23:00 |
| Markwalt | Actually, I'm in Seattle :-) | 23:00 |
| valorie | we used to have enough people to do events | 23:00 |
| valorie | but I ran out of energy to organize all of them | 23:00 |
| valorie | I can GO | 23:00 |
| valorie | but I can't organize | 23:00 |
| Markwalt | Ah, I see. That happens | 23:00 |
| Markwalt | I used to be the president of a hobbyist organization called Dragonflight, and I can relate. | 23:01 |
| Markwalt | It helps if there are people willing to step up and take over for when you inevitably burn out. | 23:02 |
| Markwalt | So... does this group...eh...do anything? | 23:03 |
| valorie | we used to | 23:04 |
| valorie | software freedom day, release parties, office hours.... or what do you call 'em | 23:04 |
| valorie | testing and bug squashing sessions | 23:04 |
| valorie | tables at oscon and lfnw | 23:05 |
| valorie | seagl | 23:05 |
| valorie | I did seagl last year with Scarlett from Portland | 23:05 |
| valorie | I'm a kubuntu person btw | 23:05 |
| valorie | nice to meet you Mark | 23:05 |
| Markwalt | Nice to meet you | 23:06 |
| Markwalt | I've never heard of SeaGL | 23:06 |
| Markwalt | I guess I'm new to the community, but not new to Linux. I'm running Xubuntu | 23:06 |
| valorie | very cool! | 23:07 |
| valorie | SeaGL has been going for 4 years I believe | 23:07 |
| valorie | I've been to two of them | 23:07 |
| Markwalt | Huh. I just looked them up. I might have to go. | 23:07 |
| Markwalt | I might actually volunteer to help them a bit. I've got some experience running a convention. | 23:08 |
| Salt | hi Markwalt ! | 23:11 |
| Salt | also have you heard of GSLUG? | 23:12 |
| Markwalt | Greetings | 23:12 |

| Salt | Markwalt, welcome to the area! | 23:13 |
| Markwalt | Thanks | 23:14 |
| valorie | linuxchix, kubuntu, ubuntu, kde, gsoc, and on and on | 23:14 |

| valorie | Salt: we are currently experiencing a weird glow in the sky | 23:14 |
| Salt | oh yeah? | 23:14 |
| valorie | any idea what that might be? | 23:14 |
| Salt | >_> | 23:14 |
| valorie | round, oh so bright..... | 23:14 |
| valorie | lol | 23:14 |
| Salt | nope, just streetlights | 23:15 |
| Markwalt | Where? Over Seattle? I'm in Greenwood and it's dreary. :-( | 23:15 |
| Salt | and clouds | 23:15 |
| Salt | Markwalt, she's joking because I am in Brussels atm | 23:15 |
| Salt | been traveling since october | 23:15 |
| Markwalt | Ah, I see | 23:15 |
| Salt | anyway, GSLUG is the group I dumped my focus into and sometimes meets in the greenwood area | 23:16 |
| Salt | still keep this channel alive in the hopes that it revives :) | 23:16 |
| * valorie lives near Black Diamond | 23:16 | |
| Salt | currently the ubuntu oregon and ubuntu vancouver are way more active | 23:16 |
| valorie | about an hour south from you, Markwalt | 23:16 |
| valorie | I see blue sky and sunshine | 23:17 |
| valorie | it was dreary and dark earlier, for sure | 23:17 |
| Salt | is linuxchix still going on? | 23:18 |

| Salt | cool | 23:19 |

| valorie | rycuda and yady | 23:19 |
| Salt | I have really not learned names of anyone yet | 23:19 |
| Salt | was so tired today, went home early actually | 23:19 |
| valorie | f3ew from India is there as well | 23:19 |
| valorie | you're missing the neon rollout dinner | 23:20 |
| valorie | :-) | 23:20 |
| Salt | neon? | 23:21 |
| Salt | *guessing it is a kde thing* | 23:21 |

| valorie | built on an ubuntu base | 23:22 |
| Markwalt | GLSUG looks interesting, I might have to go. Have a commitment every Saturday eve. but if it meets close to me, I might be able to swing it. | 23:24 |
| Markwalt | GSLUG that is. | 23:24 |
| Markwalt | Nice to meet you guys, heading out for a while. Got company coming over, and my place is a mess :-) | 23:28 |
| valorie | that was cool, and it's nice to hear from you Salt | 23:30 |
| Salt | :) | 23:31 |
| Salt | how are things there? | 23:32 |
| Salt | lifewise | 23:32 |
| valorie | well, my daddy is starting to forget how to swallow | 23:34 |
| valorie | so that's hard | 23:34 |
| valorie | life | 23:34 |
| valorie | and death, I guess | 23:34 |
| valorie | other than that, things are good | 23:34 |
| valorie | especially when the sun shines | 23:34 |
| Salt | your husband recovered from the hike? | 23:35 |
| valorie | yup | 23:35 |
| Salt | good good | 23:35 |
| valorie | although his feet still hurt at the end of the day | 23:35 |
| Salt | I'll bet | 23:35 |
| valorie | but he's no longer a walking skeleton | 23:35 |
| valorie | he's still really happy he did it | 23:35 |
| valorie | are you enjoying your journey? | 23:36 |
| Salt | so far so good | 23:37 |
| Salt | though I have a conference in SF at the end of the month, so going to come back stateside for a bit | 23:37 |
| Salt | ;) | 23:37 |
| valorie | I love that you're doing this | 23:37 |
| valorie | adventure is good | 23:37 |
