| cmaloney | morning | 12:53 |
| cmaloney | reminder: release party tonignt | 12:53 |
| cmaloney | be there or wait a year | 12:54 |
| jrwren | hrm. why don't we do october release parties? Just the convenience of PC? | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | because then i have to do more work. ;) | 12:55 |
| jrwren | :) | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | we could if someone wanted to sort out the details | 12:55 |
| jrwren | yup | 12:56 |
| jrwren | i'll have to remember and then decide in september if I want to plan something ;) | 12:56 |
| cmaloney | rhat would be cool | 12:57 |
| cmaloney | also pcon tends to hit the lts releases | 12:57 |
| jrwren | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseSchedule no artsy schedule up yet :( | 12:57 |
| greg-g | jrwren: it's easy, pick a good bar in A2, say you'll be there, go, drink, that's it :) | 16:38 |
| jrwren | exactly my thought. | 16:41 |
| rick_h | ok, I want this for my wife's van. https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/28/bmws-plug-in-hybrid-530e-iperformance-will-get-wireless-charging/ | 17:52 |
| jrwren | wireless charging for a car? 3.2kW? wow. | 17:56 |
| rick_h | jrwren: exactly. No cord/plug on the wall. Just park and go | 17:57 |
| greg-g | wireless power is crazy | 18:03 |
| greg-g | I mean, when I think about it I understand it, but when I'm just on auto-pilot thinking it's like "YOU'RE GOING TO BURN DOWN THE WORLD!" | 18:04 |
| rick_h | greg-g: well on a phone I was ok | 18:04 |
| rick_h | greg-g: but on a car level...whoa | 18:04 |
| greg-g | yeah, it's like licking a 9V battery versus a car battery | 18:04 |
| rick_h | That does give me another nudge to want to do solar at home. Would be awesome to charge the van over solar though it's at work during the day so...oh well | 18:05 |
| jrwren | i don't trust or believe in teh car think. | 18:05 |
| rick_h | so close yet so far | 18:05 |
| jrwren | that is a techcrunch article. its vapor. | 18:05 |
| jrwren | i'll believe it when I see it :0 | 18:06 |
| rick_h | lol | 18:06 |
| rick_h | well at least it's got a real company behind it without someone that's on their 5th string of startups | 18:06 |
| jrwren | that is what tesla power wall is for. store that solar, the move it to vehicle. | 18:06 |
| greg-g | but yeah, I really want to learn more/buy some solar | 18:06 |
| rick_h | jrwren: yea, was explaining that to my wife | 18:06 |
| rick_h | though speaking of vaporware | 18:06 |
| rick_h | I love it on my rv trailer | 18:07 |
| rick_h | I need to get my wife past the inverter and it'll be complete | 18:07 |
| greg-g | yeah, that's my first application, the RV | 18:07 |
| rick_h | going to take her completely off grid this summer | 18:07 |
| greg-g | w00t | 18:07 |
| rick_h | found a place in the huron national forest up north to take it | 18:07 |
| greg-g | boondocking ftw | 18:07 |
| jrwren | cool. | 18:07 |
| rick_h | was just emailing a park ranger yesterday making sure I know where to get the water for the tanks/etc | 18:07 |
| rick_h | yea, if I can have a nice successsful boondocking weekend maybe I can convince her in investing in enabling more of it | 18:08 |
| shakes808 | rick_h: i work with a guy who lived in the Appalachian Mountains off grid, for the most part. He has some expertise in that area and we talk about that kind of stuff a lot. I too have been trying to get the wife on board with the solar, but it is just too damn expensive | 19:00 |
| rick_h | yea, at some point I want to go with the li-ion batteries. That'll eat the budget. | 19:01 |
| jrwren | i know I complain about go a lot, but the std library is just beautiful. io.Pipe() built in FTW | 21:18 |
| greg-g | jrwren: jc<tab> rick_h: opinions on the UOS model of online summits. Someone is proposing it for the Wikimedia developer community and I'm not sure. | 23:12 |
| greg-g | Does it turn out to be more one-way/lecture or is there actually good dialog and (almost) decision making? | 23:13 |
| rick_h | greg-g: depends? It could be done well I think but I don't think we've done it well from our side in the server end | 23:13 |
| jrwren | greg-g: its not as good as face to face, but it is better than nothing. | 23:19 |
| * greg-g nods | 23:21 | |
| greg-g | thanks both | 23:21 |
| greg-g | do either of you know who I should ask for any "this is how we felt this thing is doing, effectiveness-wise, from Canonical's perspective"? | 23:22 |
| greg-g | ...writeups. | 23:22 |
| greg-g | For instance, we do a survey and report on our yearly summit | 23:22 |
| greg-g | an IRC channel I should ask on Monday? :) | 23:24 |
| jrwren | greg-g: ping mhall in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-server, maybe? | 23:25 |
| greg-g | will do | 23:25 |
| greg-g | thanks! | 23:25 |
