[22:45] <bkerensa> ohai
[22:45] <bkerensa> :D
[22:46] <bkerensa> this channel doesn't change too much over years :)
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <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??
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <wxl> i'd just announce it on the ubuntu-touch list
[22:51] <wxl> it's aflurry with activity
[22:53] <sgclark> dunno what open source bridge is
[22:54] <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.
[22:55] <bkerensa> the best oss event in PNW imho
[22:55] <bkerensa> far better than LFNW or OSCON
[22:56] <sgclark> If I still live here, perhaps I will go. Though those dates.. I may be in Switzerland
[22:59] <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
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <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
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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
