[12:01] <ahoneybun> mhall119: ping community fund question
[12:10] <knome> ahoneybun, i would just ask it, then he or anybody else can answer it when they are back...
[12:13] <ahoneybun> one of our kubuntu members did not hear back about his request to attend akademy
[12:15] <knome> yeah... we've recently pointed out that it would be nice to always get a human response relatively quickly
[12:59] <popey> We try to set expectations on the form. It says expect a response in 14 days. However, half the community team are on vacation right now. So it's tricky
[12:59] <popey> Also, the person who manages the finance is also on vacation.
[13:00] <popey> ahoneybun: who hasn't received a response.
[13:00] <popey> ?
[18:00] <jcastro> pleia2: around?
[18:06] <pleia2> jcastro: hey
[18:23] <pleia2> so, the harddrive on my laptop just died (it's been touch and go for a couple days)
[18:23] <pleia2> I am now on my Ubuntu tablet, haha
[18:23] <pleia2> trial by fire
[18:23] <Kilos> ouch
[18:23] <pleia2> yeah, it's not great
[18:23] <jcastro> sounds like a good reason to get a new SSD
[18:24] <pleia2> work laptop, I have requested an SSD but they'll probably give me spinning rust again ;)
[18:24] <Kilos> what a speed difference ssd's make
[18:24] <pleia2> just 5 months shy of replacement window for this whole laptop (4 year hardware deprecation cycle)
[18:24] <jcastro> ;_;
[18:24] <Kilos> whew
