[06:06] <svij> jose: did you hear something regarding the sponsorship email?
[06:06] <jose> svij: hey, not yet. I hope soon, though, because I have my sponsors on the line
[06:06] <svij> jose: ok
[07:50] <davidcalle> Morning o/
[07:54] <jose> o/
[08:26] <svij> jose: you have 8 sponsors!? wow.
[08:26] <jose> svij: possible sponsors, yep
[08:26] <svij> nice.
[08:26] <jose> talked to several people at oscon, most of them were marketing so they pointed me in the right direction
[08:27] <svij> ah, nice
[08:29]  * knome points jose to the wrong direction
[08:29] <knome> just for the variety
[08:29] <jose> ohai knome!
[08:29] <knome> hello :)
[08:31] <jose> all set for California?
[08:31] <knome> almost
[08:32] <knome> i will be traveling VERY light which means i will have to see carefully what i take with me
[08:34] <jose> I still haven't learnt how to travel light. the last time I tried, I ended up with a packed suitcase on my return
[08:35] <knome> heh :)
[08:35] <knome> my secret is that i'm usually throwing stuff away when traveling
[08:35] <knome> kind of extreme, but... it helps me travel with a small backpack for up to a week
[08:37] <knome> and yeah... no extra shoes, no extra sweater, nothing extra really
[08:37] <knome> just prepare to buy something when traveling :)
[08:41] <jose> I can't think of a time where I haven't checked a bag.
[08:41] <jose> actually, yes, there was a time, but it was a one day trip
[08:44] <knome> i did the UDS in copenhage with just the 20l~ish backpack
[08:44] <knome> +n
[08:44] <jose> oh wow, that's amazing
[08:44] <knome> haha :)
[08:45] <jose> I checked one bag because that was the maximum allowance, but in the return it was weighing 49.5lb out of the 50lb max
[08:45] <knome> ugh
[08:45] <knome> i mean, it's ok to have luggage if you travel with somebody else... then you can share the space and it is indeed more comfortable
[08:46] <knome> but when traveling alone, i just like to go and not wait for luggage stuff and blah-di-blah, also helps navigating to/from the airport
[08:46] <jose> miles <3 my bag always comes out first
[08:46] <knome> hah, yeah
[08:46] <knome> but nonetheless
[08:46] <knome> then you need to take it to the hotel
[08:46] <jose> last time Ian from S76 was waiting for me at the airport, and literally as I walked down the stairs the machine was spitting my bag out
[08:47] <knome> :)
[08:47] <jose> I actually tucked it under the table :P
[08:47] <knome> hah
[08:49] <jose> anyways, you do have a point - checked luggage can be bothersome. very.
[08:50] <knome> yep
[08:50] <knome> and what if it gets missing on the way...
[08:50] <jose> oh! that happened to me in copenhagen, actually!
[08:50] <jose> not missing, but delayed
[08:50] <jose> they took it to my room the next day, but still
[08:57] <knome> yeah
[08:57] <knome> not funny when you have all your clothes there ;)
[09:02] <jose> or if they give you a super small tshirt for backup
[09:02] <knome> haha
[09:10] <jose> anyways, time for me to go to bed
[09:10] <jose> o/
[09:10] <knome> nighty!
[09:33] <czajkowski> Aloha
[11:17] <popey> who is doing Ubuntu On Air today? Was dholbach and myself last week.
[11:45] <dpm> mhall119 and I can probably do it
[11:47] <dpm> svij, you might have seen the notification, but I've moved the UbuCon call to Thursday - I'm planning to spend some time on the blog template
[11:47] <svij> dpm: yep, I've seen it
[11:48] <svij> I'm in London for a couple of days, so I probably can't join on thursday
[11:50] <dpm> svij, ok, nevertheless I can hopefully get the blog in shape in the next couple of days. Otherwise, have fun in London :)
[11:50] <svij> thanks. :)
[11:54]  * svij added Jane as the first Keynote speaker \o/ http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-europe/talks/#keynotes
[11:56] <dpm> \o/
[12:00] <czajkowski> for Ubucon EU do all the talks have to be about Ubuntu, or can there be other topic presentations ?
[12:21] <dpm> I think we'd favour talks that are related to Ubuntu in one way or another, rather than it being a generic Open Source event. But that said, we can always have a discussion about other topics, what do you say svij? ^
[12:32] <mhall119> dpm: I can do the Q&A today
[12:44] <marcoceppi> popey: while I have "admin" on the site, the Discourse guys host it (as an fyi)
[12:45] <czajkowski> marcoceppi: same as us :)
[12:45] <czajkowski> marcoceppi: do you guys create any dashboards for questions or interactions?
[12:46] <marcoceppi> czajkowski: this site is sorely underutilized and failed to take hold because of friction with the ubuntu forums, so we're about two seconds away from killing it off. I ahven't really explored the admin portion of the platform for quite a while
[12:49] <popey> i don't think the lack of use is soley due to friction with ubuntu forums, but that didn't help
[12:49] <popey> many people didn't know discourse even existed
[14:05] <svij> LauraFautley: what dpm said is correct. We have 4 rooms on two days available, so we can fit a lot of non-ubuntu stuff. :)
[14:41] <dpm> mhall119, I've pre-scheduled the q&A hangout with the Ubuntu On Air account, but I don't seem to be able to start the hangout. Would you mind updating ubuntuonair.com with the links?
[14:57] <mhall119> dpm: on it
[14:57] <dpm> I had to reinstall the Google hangouts plugin, now I can start it
