| bkerensa | this channel doesn't change too much over years :) | 22:46 |
| wxl | yeah :( | 22:47 |
| wxl | at least we're still here | 22:47 |
| bkerensa | hah | 22:47 |
| bkerensa | indeed | 22:47 |
| bkerensa | wxl: you go up to lfnw? | 22:47 |
| wxl | no not this year | 22:47 |
| wxl | i ran out of vacation | 22:47 |
| bkerensa | coming to open source bridge? | 22:47 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:47 |
| wxl | maybe! | 22:48 |
| bkerensa | sgclark: you open source bridge? ^ | 22:48 |
| bkerensa | Well I should be there for either Red Hat or Mozilla | 22:48 |
| bkerensa | not sure which yet | 22:48 |
| wxl | are you working for both of them now?? | 22:48 |
| bkerensa | No | 22:49 |
| bkerensa | but both want me there for them to have a presence | 22:49 |
| bkerensa | I am doing Glucosio full time now | 22:49 |
| wxl | nice | 22:49 |
| bkerensa | actually trying to find someone to work on our Ubuntu Phone app | 22:50 |
| bkerensa | :) | 22:50 |
| wxl | oh nice | 22:50 |
| bkerensa | if you know someone let me know | 22:50 |
| wxl | i'd just announce it on the ubuntu-touch list | 22:51 |
| wxl | it's aflurry with activity | 22:51 |
| sgclark | dunno what open source bridge is | 22:53 |
| sgclark | and me going anywhere or doing anything is all dependent on Intel layoffs heh | 22:54 |
| bkerensa | @sgclark : http://opensourcebridge.org/ | 22:54 |
| meetingology | bkerensa: Error: "sgclark" is not a valid command. | 22:54 |
| bkerensa | the best oss event in PNW imho | 22:55 |
| bkerensa | far better than LFNW or OSCON | 22:55 |
| sgclark | If I still live here, perhaps I will go. Though those dates.. I may be in Switzerland | 22:56 |
| bkerensa | sgclark: yeah the Intel thing is sucky my moms partner has worked for intel for 20+ years | 22:59 |
| bkerensa | she thinks she will be ok though as she works in R&D and makes the newer cutting edge wafers they are using for mobile CPU | 22:59 |
| bkerensa | but who knows | 23:00 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:00 |
| bkerensa | I think she actually wishes they would lay her off so she can take severance and retire | 23:00 |
| bkerensa | I hear much of the cuts will be in business and marketing areas | 23:00 |
| bkerensa | and in areas not working on product they plan to be their focus in the future | 23:01 |
| sgclark | ah somewhat comforting to hear | 23:01 |
| bkerensa | so if your working on desktop wafers in the fab or testing desktop software your probably in trouble | 23:01 |
| bkerensa | but server, mobile, R&D, drivers etc probably ok | 23:01 |
| bkerensa | U.S. will take the most layoffs though because other countries have strong labor laws that make layoffs harder | 23:02 |
| bkerensa | sgclark: what area do you work in? | 23:02 |
| sgclark | husband just started in a new department not long ago. r&d failures lab. dunno how that will affect his future ( being new in the dept ) | 23:02 |
| sgclark | bkerensa: not me, my husband that supports me | 23:02 |
| bkerensa | oh | 23:02 |
| bkerensa | Im sure he will be ok | 23:03 |
| sgclark | how else would I be able to work ungodly hours for free? :) | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | they usually lay off older more senior employees first | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | because they get paid better | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | and have more expensive benefits | 23:03 |
| sgclark | ah true | 23:03 |
| sgclark | still stinks just waiting for word | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | Well if you dont hear by end of week your probably ok | 23:04 |
| sgclark | oh well, if he does, I will just have to get a real job. | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | his manager should know in the next day or so | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | hah | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | but this is Portland :) we dont do real jobs | 23:04 |
| sgclark | ikr | 23:04 |
