  17 [03:01] <pleia2> I gave rww a bag full of goodies to take down for the booth :)
  18 [03:01] <raevol> i'm excited for SCaLE
  19 [03:02] <raevol> pleia2: are you going to be there>
  20 [03:02] <pleia2> yep!
  21 [03:02] <philipballew> So Michelle has been on holiday, but she is back, and I believe will be sending me a conf pack in the next few days.
  22 [03:02] <pleia2> probably not at the booth a lot, but I have talks at ubucon and main conference
  23 [03:02] <pleia2> philipballew: great
  24 [03:02] <philipballew> I got the exhibitor kit yesterday I think.
  25 [03:03] <philipballew> I emailed Steve, and he confirmed it works.
  26 [03:03] <raevol> excellent
  27 [03:03] <pleia2> \o/
  28 [03:03] <pleia2> do we have a booth number?
  29 [03:03] <philipballew> now I only need to email one other person on the wiki who is not speaking/working and getting in otherwise.
  30 [03:03]  * philipballew looks
  31 [03:04] <philipballew> 17
  32 [03:05] <pleia2> cool, I'll add to the wiki
  33 [03:05] <pleia2> is there a map too? :)
  34 [03:05] <raevol> i didn't get a chance to write up some handouts about FAQs like unity or the shopping lens :(
  35 [03:05] <pleia2> there is still time
  36 [03:05] <raevol> yea
  37 [03:05] <raevol> i will try to sneak it in
  38 [03:05] <philipballew> si pleia2
  39 [03:06] <pleia2> http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/poster/start-ubuntu-addis-announcement was also interesting, thinking about modifying it to s/mint/xubuntu
  40 [03:06] <darthrobot`> Title: [Start Ubuntu in Addis announcement | spreadubuntu]
  41 [03:07] <eps> Is Mint still relevant with MATE going into 14.04 LTS?
  42 [03:07] <pleia2> it still ships with proprietary codecs and binaries that aren't strictly legal to ship in the US (so Ubuntu can't), so I think there will still be a market
  43 [03:07] <pleia2> not among professional users, but the typical mint userbase
  44 [03:08] <philipballew> pleia2, were you wanting to put up all your posters and candy this year again?
  45 [03:08] <pleia2> philipballew: I'm bringing it and rww is looking into candy, up to you whether you want/need them
  46 [03:09] <pleia2> err eps
  47 [03:09] <pleia2> one of those 3 letter nicknames :)
  48 [03:09] <eps> :-)
  49 [03:09] <raevol> philipballew: we got some system76 laptops?
  50 [03:09] <philipballew> pleia2, nobody needs to spend their money for candy probably.
  51 [03:09] <philipballew> unless they want to I guess
  52 [03:09] <philipballew> raevol, yes, confirmed this week with Ema.
  53 [03:09] <raevol> cool
  54 [03:10] <raevol> what day are you guys getting there?
  55 [03:10] <pleia2> thursday night
  56 [03:10] <rww> thursday night
  57 [03:10] <pleia2> my ubucon talk is the first of the day on friday
  58 [03:10] <rww> driving down from the bay area at like 5pm
  59 [03:10] <rww> so i'll be there late
  60 [03:10] <philipballew> whenever raevol picks me up

  64 [03:10] <darthrobot`> Title: [Friday, February 22, 2013 | SCALE 12x]
  65 [03:10] <pleia2> ianorlin: you should come!
  66 [03:10] <philipballew> raevol, perfect
  67 [03:10] <eps> philipballew: do you have a sponsor lined up for candy/other giveaways?
  68 [03:11] <philipballew> eps, No.
  69 [03:11] <philipballew> Does candy bring people to the booth or not?
  70 [03:11] <eps> Well, then not spending money really isn't an option, is it?
  71 [03:11] <eps> Yes, absolutely.
  72 [03:11] <ianorlin> althogh grr parents made dinner ready now
  73 [03:11] <philipballew> eps, would you feel comfortable wearing a shirt that says "free hugs" on it?
  74 [03:11] <philipballew> might bring some people?
  75 [03:12] <pleia2> oh dear
  76 [03:12] <raevol> should we consider getting some candy that's individually wrapped? the m&ms were tasty but i felt kind of weird after a given quantity of people had stuck their hands in the bowl
  77 [03:12] <eps> Depends ... is that like "free tibet" or "free beer"
  78 [03:12] <rww> "open source hug party"
  79 [03:12] <philipballew> haha
  80 [03:13] <raevol> libre hugs
  81 [03:13] <eps> FYI, Hugs are a variant of Hershey's Kisses, and they are individually wrapped.
  82 [03:13] <raevol> the source code of this hug is freely available and any modifications you make to this hug when redistributing must also be freely available
  83 [03:13] <pleia2> hahah
  84 [03:13] <raevol> eps: genius
  85 [03:14] <eps> The M&Ms were two years ago. Last year, we had buttercream mints.
  86 [03:14] <pleia2> ok, any more updates re: scale? action items for the next couple weeks?
  87 [03:14] <raevol> eps: woops
  88 [03:14] <rww> I have a full ISO set for 13.10 now, will get 12.04.whatever when the next one's released early Feb
  89 [03:14] <rww> including Ubuntu Kylin, which is seeded by like nobody
  90 [03:14] <pleia2> the caramel hersey kisses are orange and brown, we could be retro :)
  91 [03:14] <philipballew> Ubuntu shaped cookies would be cool
  92 [03:15] <raevol> pleia2: jono will confiscate them
  93 [03:15] <pleia2> raevol: haha, not on brand!
  94 [03:15] <raevol> xD
  95 [03:15] <eps> rww: Feb. 4, I think.
  96 [03:15] <rww> yep
  97 [03:15] <rww> way before scale, anyway
  98 [03:15] <raevol> (and then he will eat them)
  99 [03:15] <rww> considered 14.04, but i don't think i'm going to bother
 100 [03:15] <philipballew> If you have an ubuntu shit, you should wear it to the booth when working.
 101 [03:15] <rww> lol ^
 102 [03:15] <rww> i have a brown ubuntu shirt, does that count?
 103 [03:15] <philipballew> I do not want to see anyone in a Fedora shirt at the booth
 104 [03:15] <raevol> hahahahahahahahaa
 105 [03:16] <rww> philipballew: so no MarkDude, then?
 106 [03:16] <philipballew> rww, "what can brown do for you."
 107 [03:16] <eps> Has anyone heard from MarkDude lately?
 108 [03:16] <pleia2> he pops up on facebook now and then, so I know he's alive :)
 109 [03:16] <philipballew> I herd he might be going to Manila sometime.

 123 [03:22] <pleia2> unclear so far whether it'll be mt view or sf
