| 18:26.35 | warthog9 | jwl_rh | ajh: before bridgehead kicks me off their wireless, is there anything you want me to dig into on the paper stuff today, I've got a full git tree pull of the normal tree (haven't snagged admin yet, but will soon) |
| 18:27.15 | ajh | I do not think so for papers. |
| 18:27.29 | ajh | I am working on the programme at the moment, will need proofreaders for that sometime. |
| 18:27.53 | warthog9 | ajh: I can help on that, though I'll admit my english skills rarely ever earned me an 'A' back in school ;-) |
| 18:28.12 | ajh | Oh it is not anywhere near that level, mostly times, dates, rooms, correlations etc. |
| 18:28.28 | warthog9 | nods can do that |
| 18:29.04 | ajh | Cool, I am hoping to have something perhaps by tomorrow. |
| 18:29.20 | ajh | Though I am also happy to take a break and let someoen send fixes over :) |
| 18:30.10 | warthog9 | ajh: if you have something I can dig into it, otherwise I'm going to start in on the 3 presentations I need to work on (2 for ols 1 for linuxcon) |
| 18:30.26 | ajh | You should do that :) |
| 18:30.29 | ajh | Use OOO. :) |
| 18:30.48 | ajh | I have not told everyone that yet, but if we do the simulcast the slides will all be preloaded. |
| 18:31.11 | warthog9 | 000.? |
| 18:31.17 | warthog9 | ohhh OO.o |
| 18:31.17 | ajh | Open Office |
| 18:31.50 | warthog9 | yeah, running Linux full time makes trying to use Powerpoint or Keynote for presentations hard ;-) |
| 18:32.10 | ajh | Not just that they will all need to be in and checked into the system in advance too. |
| 18:32.31 | warthog9 | yeah, have you sent a reminder e-mail to people about that? |
| 18:32.46 | ajh | The details are not solid yet. |
| 18:32.49 | warthog9 | I know it's relatively common / 'normal' for people to be working on them 10 minutes before their presentation, and the reminder might be worth it |
| 18:33.19 | ajh | Yes, which is a major issue since we also want to do speaker-lectures beforehand to make sure they do things right. |
| 18:33.34 | ajh | Since if we do end up with paid people watching they cannot wander off camera or stop using their mic or whatever. |
| 18:33.52 | ajh | It may even make sense to stick the presenter in a closet somewhere and just use two screens :) |
| 18:34.01 | ajh | That would eliminate the echo issue. |
| 18:34.22 | warthog9 | LOL |
| 18:35.05 | ajh | Having someone do realtime transcription to the text window on each client would rock, but people who can do that are not cheap. |
| 18:35.24 | ajh | It would be nice to be able to understand people though. |
| 18:35.31 | warthog9 | no they aren't, and your going to have to make sure that presenters and such remember to repeat questions at the end, etc |
| 18:36.00 | warthog9 | are you going to want the BoF slides early too? |
| 18:36.26 | ajh | What I wanted to do is get a bunch of people to each take a speaker and stand there and remind (hit) them when they go off the reservation. |
| 18:37.09 | ajh | We need to make this year something impressive despite all the issues. |
| 18:38.19 | ajh | Oddly I am finding that I can do a lot of this faster without Craig 'helping'. |
| 18:39.24 | ajh | and I was pretty worried about that, so that is fairly good news. |
| 18:39.30 | ajh | sucks not having someone to talk to though :) |
| 18:42.57 | warthog9 | yeah |
| 18:43.07 | ajh | There, front cover done in 15 minutes vs 6 hours of back and forth. :) |
| 18:43.43 | ajh | Only problem is I do layout, not graphics, so am a bit limited. |
| 18:44.45 | ajh | Now if I have the Sponsor ads somewhere I can even print. |
| 18:48.33 | ajh | I need to remember to add 'no solid red' on the guidelines. |
| 18:48.47 | ajh | From a toner I was supposed to get 5000 sheets from last year I got 180. |
| 18:52.59 | ajh | stamps the outside cover for the programe finished. |

| 20:01.32 | ajh | Well, there is one ad that was supposed to be half page but was not, took hower long you took to mock up a half-page printable version |
| 20:05.10 | jwl_rh | warthog9: you want the admin/ directory so that no 2 editors work on the same paper. |
| 20:06.57 | warthog9 | jwl_rh: *nods* |
| 20:07.08 | warthog9 | it's probably helpful that I'm not actually using svn directly to do anything |
| 20:07.23 | warthog9 | jwl_rh: and question, are eps images acceptable? Tried doing a full build earlier and hit one of those |
| 20:34.34 | ajh | Wow, we have raised 812CAD for travel assistance in 4 days, but that is only from 11 people. |
| 20:59.44 | jwl_rh | returns to desk, finds that warthog9 has vanished... |
| 21:04.06 | ajh | I got hungry. |
| 21:10.20 | jwl_rh | heh |

| 21:37.51 | warthog9 | stupid bridgehead and their, exactly, 1hr of internet |
| 22:22.28 | jwl_rh | warthog9: eps & pdf images are both acceptable and required. png images are to be avoided (exceptions: screenshots, photos). |
| 22:30.08 | jwl_rh | still missing: Bhatia Dake French Petersen Thomas Velzen |
| 22:30.31 | jwl_rh | ajh: will khouzam be doing just slides and no paper? if so, I'll add him to DROPPED. |
| 22:43.08 | jwl_rh | fwiw, 348 pages in the latest build. |
| 22:51.47 | ajh | Yes, go ahead and drop him, I changed him to Status Update in the database anyway. |
| 22:52.15 | pakrat | I thought I marked khouzam as dropped in the makefile. |
| 22:57.14 | jwl_rh | pakrat: insufficient; read the editors guide :-) |
| 22:59.32 | jwl_rh | presumably he's not planning on writing the same paper for gcc either at this point; dropping there, too :) |
| 23:01.49 | jwl_rh | that EditorsGuide is basically a random brain dump from last year and this year |
| 23:02.16 | jwl_rh | questions & patches and such are likely to be a great thing. |
