If people want to attend to check it out, that might be fun 19:19 <Grantbow> San Diego is closer for you folks :-) 19:19 <Grantbow> yeah, ok 19:19 < Flannel> Re-moving on to fOSSCON 19:20 < Flannel> FOSSCON was originally scheduled for last year, got delayed for whateverreason 19:20 < Flannel> Its put on by the freenode people, as a convention/expo/whatever thing for FOSS 19:20 < Flannel> It's going to be in San Diego, September 6 and 7 19:20 <Grantbow> http://fosscon.org/talks/ 19:21 < Flannel> Hmm, website seems to be devoid of a location, so I can't comment on how nice it'll be. 19:22 < nhaines> Do we want to do anything for FOSSCON? 19:22 < Flannel> But, they are still open to talks, and exhibitors, if we'd like to have a booth 19:23 < jess> sounds like it could be fun 19:24 < Flannel> Don't all jump up at once :) 19:25 < nhaines> I'd be willing to do a booth. :) 19:25 < jess> is this a nationwide event? 19:25 < jess> like, will others be coming from around the country for it? 19:26 < Flannel> I guess that depends on if they want to. But I imagine some people will, yes. 19:26 < Flannel> Ah, there is a location 19:28 < Flannel> Yeah, it'd be an easy location to get to, no need to slog through downtown to get to the convention center either. And pretty easy parking too 19:28 < nhaines> yay 19:28 <Yasumoto> gosh 19:28 < Flannel> and if you don't mind walking a little, you can park for free either near, or at a trolley thing and then take the trolley 19:28 <Yasumoto> I was just so proud of the wireless network here at chapman, but I guess not anymore :( 19:29 <Yasumoto> thank goodness for ethernet cables (back) 19:29 < nhaines> :) 19:29 < Flannel> Alright, we'll look into getting a booth, and also announce it to the list, and see if we can't drum up some more support. 19:29 < nhaines> Flannel: okay, so I'll expect a writeup of all that info on the wiki next weekend. ;) 19:29 < jess> i'd be interested in helping out if yasumoto wants to too, heh 19:30 < Flannel> nhaines: Once school starts I'll take one of my breaks and time it, so you know it takes you 340 seconds to walk from the trolley station 19:30 < nhaines> I'll expect a statistical report with averages then. 19:31 < Flannel> nhaines: Sounds good. 19:31 <Yasumoto> cool, I'm caught up ~_~ 19:31 <Yasumoto> does anyone want to send an email to the FOSScon guys? 19:31 <Yasumoto> otherwise I will 19:31 *** Flannel nominates Yasumoto for email correspondence to FOSScon. 19:32 <Yasumoto> brutal 19:32 <Yasumoto> kk 19:33 <Yasumoto> I'll make sure to be much more open about what's going on too :) 19:33 < nhaines> Good. :) 19:33 < jess> yeah, dont be so proprietary 19:33 <Yasumoto> I think I'll be heading up to UDS, though it's the week before Finals 19:33 < jess> :-) 19:33 <Yasumoto> jess: haha 19:34 < Flannel> Alright, so...
