+ | (19:37:43) wardi: no answer at the three numbers I have | ||
+ | (19:38:14) wardi: left a message at their house | ||
+ | (19:39:51) mcr: hi. | ||
+ | (19:40:14) mcr: let's wait ten minutes, and then, if we get nothing, we can chat informally. | ||
+ | (19:40:15) mcr: | ||
+ | (19:45:37) mcr: hi. | ||
+ | (19:46:35) mcr: okay... so the update I got from cssa-aei is that they are good for doing something at the end of April, they do not have a suggestion for a better date. | ||
+ | (19:46:41) mcr: They think we get 10-20 people out. | ||
+ | (19:46:56) mcr: I was hoping for 30-40 over the course of 6-7 hours of hanging out. | ||
+ | (19:47:47) mcr: Chris, at least, isn't into pub crawls or social events. I suggested that they might want to line this up to be after all the CS exams, and to leave from the " | ||
+ | (19:47:55) mcr: (hey... maybe it's just me that wants to do that...) | ||
+ | (19:48:05) mcr: (of course, I'm trying to get tickets to Lady Gaga...) | ||
+ | (19:48:27) mcr: do we want to go ahead with this, as an event? | ||
+ | (19:50:50) wardi: I wont be able to help with this one. so is it an installfest? | ||
+ | (19:51:39) mcr: kinda. | ||
+ | (19:51:53) wardi: or just a gathering of interested cssa folks | ||
+ | (19:52:27) mcr: it's more of an installfest... laptop/ | ||
+ | (19:53:22) rj_ren: AFAIK, I can attend. | ||
+ | (19:53:29) wardi: someone knows how to get on their wireless, hopefully | ||
+ | (19:54:37) mcr: the idea is that we'd have *WIRED* to let us download stuff, and have an open access point to test that part. | ||
+ | (19:55:01) mcr: if we can get CS students a) interested, b) clueful about what is required | ||
+ | (19:55:12) wardi: sounds useful | ||
+ | (19:55:21) mcr: then we have 30-40 volunteers to help run an event in the fall that targets general population of students. | ||
+ | (19:58:06) wardi: does anyone know how to deal with the more difficult wireless adaptors? | ||
+ | (19:58:53) mcr: I'm hoping to recruit people next week to help. | ||
+ | (19:59:04) mcr: they needn' | ||
+ | (19:59:28) wardi: it sounds like a very good thing to me, even if only 10-20 come out | ||
+ | (20:00:29) rj_ren: Yes, it sounds good. | ||
+ | (20:00:39) mcr: okay. good. | ||
+ | (20:00:47) mcr: next... ? are set for March? | ||

+ | (20:02:12) rj_ren: - Alan German - Wine Appreciation | ||
+ | (20:02:12) rj_ren: - Robert Bernier - PostgreSQL | ||
+ | (20:02:15) wardi: I think roland has put up " | ||
+ | (20:02:16) mcr: OCLUG meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 7pm | ||
+ | (20:02:44) wardi: great, it just needs to be posted | ||
+ | (20:02:56) wardi: I've been recruitedto give a talk at os bootcamp this year | ||
+ | (20:02:57) mcr: we do save that above the events, but I guess people don't read that. | ||
+ | (20:03:09) mcr: when is OS BootCamp... where? | ||
+ | (20:03:20) mcr: can we just do two speakers? | ||
+ | (20:03:35) wardi: I think it has been renamed | ||
+ | (20:04:03) wardi: http:// | ||
+ | (20:05:50) rj_ren: It looks like the conversation has moved on while I was typing the following. | ||
+ | (20:05:50) rj_ren: It seems difficult to a) get speakers, b) get them to send me details | ||
+ | (20:05:50) rj_ren: of what they want to talk about and for how long. | ||
+ | (20:05:50) rj_ren: That's the main reason that the page doesn' | ||
+ | (20:05:50) rj_ren: late in the month. | ||
+ | (20:05:51) rj_ren: I have enough info to put up a page now. I'll be doing it soon. | ||
+ | (20:07:36) wardi: rj_ren: I know that can be annoyinh | ||
+ | (20:08:03) mcr: I'm not complaining that it takes time to get the info, I'm just wondering if we can put up a placeholder? | ||
+ | (20:08:09) wardi: maybe posting some vague description early is better than waiting, though | ||
+ | (20:08:28) mcr: " | ||
+ | (20:08:29) rj_ren: Placeholder sounds reasonable. | ||
+ | (20:08:53) mcr: summercamp2009, | ||
+ | (20:08:59) wardi: or even your "we need talks for this meeting" | ||
+ | (20:09:23) mcr: worth announcing at the next meeting, and we should ask them for flyers for April, May, and the " | ||
+ | (20:09:55) wardi: I can do that | ||
+ | (20:10:36) wardi: (ask for flyers.. don't know if I can be at the next meetign to announce) | ||
+ | (20:16:24) mcr: recent email from facebook: Subject: Michael Richardson requested to join the group " | ||
+ | (20:16:35) mcr: cool, please ask for flyers then! | ||
+ | (20:18:31) rj_ren: Bernier only contacted me today about speaking. | ||
+ | (20:18:31) rj_ren: a confirmation on topic detail. | ||
+ | (20:18:31) rj_ren: He only said "I can do literally anything on PostgreSQL." | ||
+ | (20:18:31) rj_ren: We could have only 2 speakers to postpone Bernier until future date | ||
+ | (20:18:31) rj_ren: but meeting would be a bit short. | ||
+ | (20:18:32) mcr: anything else? | ||
+ | (20:18:32) rj_ren: Mike, you want to talk about RSS or "how to give a talk"? | ||
+ | (20:18:43) mcr: please postpone him. | ||
+ | (20:18:51) mcr: let's stick with 2, can we? | ||
+ | (20:19:04) mcr: it works much better, no rush, and people can ask questions, etc. | ||
+ | (20:19:23) mcr: I can do rss or "how to give a talk", at any point, at the last minute, if necessary. | ||
+ | (20:20:02) rj_ren: Ok, only 2 speakers. | ||
+ | (20:20:02) rj_ren: BTW: John Nash won't be attending. | ||
