12:36:14 strk: can anyond find a good map of lausanne hotels to conference place on the foss4g website ?
12:36:17 strk: ( hi all )
12:45:18 strk: ouch, it seems the Open Source conference organization wants me to have Windows XP render my slides ... :/
12:50:12 FrankW: strk: why do you say that?
12:55:01 strk: practical book, page 11/19
12:55:18 strk: the machine plugged to the projector in each conference room
12:55:45 strk: not a big deal, just sounds a bit ironic
13:00:52 FrankW: We can't use our own laptops?
13:01:06 FrankW: I usually convert my presentation to pdf for presentation anyways.
13:10:26 strk: yes, we can... I was just thinking not to bring mine ( and winXP won't make me change my mind )
13:11:00 strk: they'd prefer not though. and there's openoffice, so it seems my slides would run ( I hope, dunno openoffice enough )
13:11:35 FrankW: I've had good success moving OpenOffice 2.x files around between systems.
13:11:42 FrankW: ( and slight variations of version )
13:12:52 strk: ouch --version didn't work as expected ( ... )
13:13:02 strk: ok, graphically... 1.1
13:13:28 strk: should have made ascii slides :P
13:13:34 FrankW: lol
13:13:47 FrankW: I was the king of ascii slides til about 2000 or so.
13:14:57 FrankW: Even now my slides are little more than a bunch of text bullets with titles
13:17:28 strk: I spent so much time with graphics.... :(
13:17:50 strk: my slides are not even online, maybe they considered them "too ugly"
13:18:10 FrankW: Perhaps they were too big!
13:22:06 strk: seen 'hem ?
13:23:04 FrankW: 'hem? I'm not sure what you mean.
13:25:53 : * FrankW now wishes he had kept an url for the webmap site for Lausanne...
13:25:58 FrankW: Any suggestions?
13:26:46 FrankW: Ah, I'm sure I can work it out when I get there.
13:26:54 FrankW: Signing off for the afternoon ... later folks.
13:28:03 strk: FrankW: paul says he has the maps from hotel to conference
