| 12:03:12 | fsc7: | Many thanks crschmidt |
| 12:03:28 | crschmidt: | ( note that I have no idea if the OpenGeo people are actively working on those docs ) |
| 12:04:04 | fsc7: | It's just for reference. |
| 12:04:24 | fsc7: | hey |
| 12:04:40 | fsc7: | Talking about Geonetwork |
| 12:04:44 | crschmidt: | oh |
| 12:04:48 | crschmidt: | geonetwork |
| 12:04:48 | fsc7: | thanks anyway. |
| 12:04:49 | crschmidt: | not geoserver |
| 12:04:50 | crschmidt: | sorry :( |
| 12:04:56 | : | * crschmidt is... out of it |
| 12:05:04 | crschmidt: | flying to Tokyo is not working so well with my body clock. |
| 12:05:34 | fsc7: | I see... |
| 12:10:01 | darkblue_B: | hey crschmidt - feeling japanese yet ;-P |
| 12:11:00 | crschmidt: | Nope |
| 12:11:04 | crschmidt: | Feeling tired : ) |
| 12:12:27 | darkblue_B: | hey - you know why the bicycle couldnt stand up .... |
| 12:12:42 | crschmidt: | Because it didn't have a kickstand? |
| 12:12:56 | darkblue_B: | because it was two tired |
| 12:13:03 | crschmidt: | ba dum tish |
| 12:16:55 | wildintellect: | darkblue_B, did you put some info up about the OSBootcamp? |
| 12:17:02 | darkblue_B: | yes |
| 12:18:15 | wildintellect: | I see it on the list on the california page, should we link that to something? |
| 12:20:05 | darkblue_B: | well.. the OSBootCamp I think needs some help |
| 12:20:18 | darkblue_B: | when I said to people where i was going, they said "Which OS?" |
| 12:20:20 | darkblue_B: | !! |
| 12:20:42 | darkblue_B: | I told the nice registration person.. you should call it OSSBootCamp |
| 12:20:47 | darkblue_B: | she said... ohhhh |
| 12:20:50 | darkblue_B: | :- ) |
| 12:20:53 | wildintellect: | lol |
| 12:21:03 | wildintellect: | I tend to stick with FOSS |
| 12:21:03 | darkblue_B: | It was a good turnout by the Free BSD people |
| 12:21:12 | darkblue_B: | yeah FOSS |
| 12:21:21 | darkblue_B: | but I think there weren't enough students there |
| 12:21:29 | darkblue_B: | its hard to get their attention |
| 12:21:44 | wildintellect: | hmm, maybe we should try to get one done up here at Davis |
| 12:21:56 | wildintellect: | I have the ear of the computer science club these days |
| 12:21:59 | darkblue_B: | That would be great |
| 12:22:16 | darkblue_B: | yeah the CSUA, undergrad CS students were involved |
| 12:22:20 | darkblue_B: | they were great |
| 12:22:28 | darkblue_B: | they knew most all the topics of course |
| 12:22:37 | wildintellect: | I'll bring it up and the next local LUG meeting |
| 12:23:28 | darkblue_B: | also, there was at least one person who had trouble with the little red devil horns |
| 12:23:36 | darkblue_B: | the marketing guy said to me |
| 12:24:05 | darkblue_B: | "I tell people rght off - we are powered by Satan, is that a problem for you ?" |
| 12:24:11 | wildintellect: | let's just say FOSS has a way to grow up in terms of marketing |
| 12:24:19 | darkblue_B: | then I can tell who they are |
| 12:24:34 | darkblue_B: | .. it was said as if it was a joke, you know, bar lying / humor |
| 12:24:48 | darkblue_B: | but I dont drink, and I like my christian neighbors |
| 12:25:03 | darkblue_B: | I think they have a branding challenge |
| 12:25:15 | wildintellect: | I have to say the christian version of ubuntu is kinda interesting |
| 12:25:37 | wildintellect: | basically a standard ubuntu with a digital bible installed |
| 12:26:11 | darkblue_B: | sure - I did genealogy in the 90s.. I found out how productve the folks from Utah are as programmers |
| 12:26:30 | wildintellect: | and low power christian radio is actually doing wonders for FOSS radion production tools |
| 12:26:31 | darkblue_B: | its not my thing, bible study, but I support them in my own way |
| 12:27:16 | wildintellect: | its hard to work with - sometimes their faith interferes with project goals oddly |
| 12:27:38 | wildintellect: | mostly a lack of interest in sharing their work outside their direct community |
| 12:27:54 | wildintellect: | at least in the one example I've seen |
| 15:44:48 | wildintellect: | TylerM, what's the word on the AAG? |
| 16:37:32 | TylerM: | wildintellect: what are you wondering about? |
| 16:37:43 | wildintellect: | if you're coming |
| 16:38:09 | wildintellect: | I'm trying to herd all the speakers... |
| 16:38:36 | TylerM: | nope |
| 16:38:36 | TylerM: | i'm out |
| 16:39:21 | TylerM: | wife having surgery within the next 3-5 months.. so I'll be staying home until at least march |
| 16:39:40 | TylerM: | or at least until we got a solid date |
| 16:39:49 | wildintellect: | understandable |
| 16:40:07 | wildintellect: | any ideas on who else I could try to get in your sted |
| 16:40:08 | TylerM: | how's it looking from your end? |
| 16:40:50 | wildintellect: | it's hard since people say they're going to give a talk and then don't submit the abstract |
| 16:41:04 | wildintellect: | I think I know for sure 5 speakers |
| 16:41:16 | wildintellect: | haven't even had a chance to work on funding for the booth yet |
| 16:42:01 | TylerM: | unless you're looking for an 'official' person, i think you've got some great reps already |
| 16:46:55 | wildintellect: | 'official' would be good - I'm leaning towards 1 full session and 2nd panel session |
| 16:47:14 | wildintellect: | since a few people have there talks elsewhere and can't move them now |
| 16:47:35 | wildintellect: | and we want a good discussion to let people ask all sorts of questions |
| 16:48:42 | TylerM: | sounds good |
| 16:58:18 | wildintellect: | I still need to email the other lists about submitting |
| 17:04:57 | : | * crschmidt is at FOSS4G Tokyo 2008 |
| 17:05:57 | darkblue_B: | domo arragato kudusai |
| 17:06:04 | crschmidt: | Talking about history of the conference, 2006, 2007, 2008 |
| 17:07:36 | crschmidt: | This is Toru Mori, http://www.osgeo.jp/foss4g2008-in-tokyo/ , http://www.osgeo.jp/foss4g2008tokyo-time-table/ |
| 17:07:58 | sigq: | Title: FOSS4G 2008 TOKYO | OSGeo.JP ( at www.osgeo.jp ) |
| 17:10:01 | crschmidt: | talking about osgeo.jp |
| 17:12:11 | crschmidt: | Now Jeff talking about Growing the FOSS4G Community ( In English ) |
| 17:15:55 | crschmidt: | Jeff explaining that DM Solutions is responsible for him being here ( indirectly ) by getting him into the open geo space |
| 17:16:10 | crschmidt: | going to talk about current community, foss4g community, etc. |
| 17:16:48 | darkblue_B: | oh - you are on in a few minutes |
| 17:17:11 | darkblue_B: | OpenLayers.. have you seen localized projects? |
| 17:18:08 | crschmidt: | Yes, and we have full support for translation of strings in the project |
| 17:18:12 | crschmidt: | ( no Japanese translation yet ) |
| 17:18:19 | darkblue_B: | nice - should be a hit |
| 17:18:34 | darkblue_B: | maybe you will get some translators then |
| 17:18:58 | darkblue_B: | ask if they use Unicode, or still the older encodings |
| 17:19:07 | darkblue_B: | ( if you care ) |
| 17:19:15 | crschmidt: | Jeff says that he is nothing without community |
| 17:19:19 | crschmidt: | unemployed, no one to drink with |
| 17:19:34 | crschmidt: | always busy, able to travel, part o a network, recognized as a key member of the community |
| 17:19:38 | crschmidt: | ( And presumably able to drink ) |
| 17:21:47 | crschmidt: | In the beginning, no global organization |
| 17:21:51 | crschmidt: | many projects immature |
| 17:27:32 | crschmidt: | talking about how the community is growing |
| 17:27:38 | crschmidt: | foundation osgeo, foss4g conference |
| 17:31:50 | crschmidt: | Talking about Sol Katz Award |
| 17:31:55 | crschmidt: | Growth of Local communities |
| 17:32:45 | : | * crschmidt wonders why there is no successful US Local Chapter |
| 17:33:34 | darkblue_B: | everything is handed to us on a platter here in the US |
| 17:33:38 | darkblue_B: | no "pain" |
| 17:34:10 | crschmidt: | "Is the community easy to work with: No" |
| 17:35:15 | crschmidt: | lots of challenges for the community |
| 17:37:21 | crschmidt: | Needs "you" |
| 17:38:37 | darkblue_B: | the Japanese have the 2nd largest economy in the world.. maybe someone there can get past the avoidance of monetization and get some useful and appropriate money to change hands |
| 17:39:15 | darkblue_B: | .. they are infinitely clever with goods and service exchange |
| 17:52:47 | darkblue_B: | hmm maybe he's talking now |
| 18:24:04 | : | * crschmidt was, yes |
| 18:27:02 | darkblue_B: | great - time to go to sleep! |
| 18:27:13 | darkblue_B: | oh wait, its ... lunchtime |
| 18:27:15 | crschmidt: | now i need to prepare for my workshop this afternoon : ) |
| 18:27:17 | darkblue_B: | dang |
| 18:27:30 | darkblue_B: | yep - thats hard |
| 18:27:33 | darkblue_B: | good luck |
| 18:28:16 | darkblue_B: | well I just found out that my friend in Vermont got Lyme disease.. and has been in bed for 6 weeks, so things coud definitely be worse |
| 18:29:12 | crschmidt: | ouch |
| 18:29:21 | darkblue_B: | yeah - ouch |
