18:06.10plarsenWell, I am ;)
18:06.11plarsennow
18:06.41plarsenstickster_afk: I'm going to make some CDs today - not sure how many to make and if there are some types of CDs that are better than others.
18:06.47plarsenLet me know if you see this
18:06.51plarsenIf not, I'll do my best guess

18:53.04GGDhello?
18:54.00plarsenhey
18:54.22GGDhello how are things in Fredlug today?
18:55.55GGDi didn't know if there was anyone in the room
18:56.40plarsenohhh - now and then :D
18:56.53plarsenlooking forward to this Saturday - big day for Fredlug thanks to stickster
18:57.25GGD;)
18:57.42sticksterhanging around for a few minutes, getting some final tasks done before I head to Raleigh
18:57.43GGDi wish i could come but i got plans with the (anti-tech) wifey
18:58.39plarsenstickster: how many CDs should I make?
18:58.51plarsenFor next Saturdsay
18:58.53sticksterAs many as you like -- The Open Disc is probably best
18:59.01plarsenyeah got that.
18:59.05plarsenIs there  alabel for it I can use?
18:59.16sticksterHm, not sure -- does their site have one?
19:01.24plarsenstickster: I can't navigate their site for some reason. Good old Google found something
19:02.17plarsenhttp://www.theopendisc.com/latest-version/cover-art/
19:02.23plarsenI'll just use that
19:02.37plarsenBtw. the fedora updates fixed my sound - FINALLY :D
19:02.49plarsenI was a happy Camper on Friday
19:02.58plarsenCould watch youtube again
19:04.20plarsenOhh - a final question. I'll bring my laptop - but how much "show and tell" should we actually do?
19:06.03sticksterI think the idea is to be *very* general
19:06.39sticksterplarsen: We'll just talk about free software being available everywhere, Firefox being a good example
19:06.47sticksterOpenOffice.org being another
19:07.04sticksterThe SFD site http://softwarefreedomday.org/ has good guidelines
19:07.04plarsenright - so it's more like a presentation than show and tell?
19:07.21sticksterWe just let the public ask questions, and hand out free stuff
19:07.43sticksterWe'll have some giveaways too -- two nice bags from Novell, provided that jsmith-away gets his to me (or my wife) this week
19:07.48stickster(I have one already)
19:09.10sticksterHm.
19:09.26sticksterwonders if anyone's read the OpenDisc FAQ at http://www.theopendisc.com/faq/ about VLC.
19:10.44plarsenhmm - I didn't notice that section no :(
19:10.59plarsenI'll remove VLC from the ISO before I burn anything.
19:12.14sticksterI'm not too worried about it, I guess.
19:12.36sticksterIt would just be nice for them to note up front on their site, or provide a US version.
19:15.33plarsenyeah
19:15.35plarsenI agree
19:16.20sticksterI just sent a note to the list so people won't get caught by that, hopefully.
19:16.32sticksterFree software shouldn't be illegal software.
19:16.41sticksterEven if it is a completely bogus and stupid law.
19:17.21plarsenright - law is still law
19:17.35plarsenOr at least this isn't really the time and place to battle that law
19:20.49sticksterExactly
19:20.55sticksterNor is SFD, obviously
19:21.31sticksterThe main thing is that people will hopefully get the idea that you can get excellent-quality software, for free, and know where it comes from
19:23.27plarsenBtw. I wish that poster had said Fredericksburg
19:23.38plarsenI might have distributed a few things over here and at work
22:10.46GGDhello?
