| 15:00.58 | GGD | good morning |
| 15:08.13 | GGD | hey is anyone here? |
| 18:06.10 | plarsen | Well, I am ;) |
| 18:06.11 | plarsen | now |
| 18:06.41 | plarsen | stickster_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. |
| 18:06.47 | plarsen | Let me know if you see this |
| 18:06.51 | plarsen | If not, I'll do my best guess |
| 18:26.40 | *** join/#fredlug nmcbride (n=nmcbride@c-24-125-17-152.hsd1.va.comcast.net) |
| 18:53.04 | GGD | hello? |
| 18:54.00 | plarsen | hey |
| 18:54.22 | GGD | hello how are things in Fredlug today? |
| 18:55.55 | GGD | i didn't know if there was anyone in the room |
| 18:56.40 | plarsen | ohhh - now and then :D |
| 18:56.53 | plarsen | looking forward to this Saturday - big day for Fredlug thanks to stickster |
| 18:57.25 | GGD | ;) |
| 18:57.42 | stickster | hanging around for a few minutes, getting some final tasks done before I head to Raleigh |
| 18:57.43 | GGD | i wish i could come but i got plans with the (anti-tech) wifey |
| 18:58.39 | plarsen | stickster: how many CDs should I make? |
| 18:58.51 | plarsen | For next Saturdsay |
| 18:58.53 | stickster | As many as you like -- The Open Disc is probably best |
| 18:59.01 | plarsen | yeah got that. |
| 18:59.05 | plarsen | Is there alabel for it I can use? |
| 18:59.16 | stickster | Hm, not sure -- does their site have one? |
| 19:01.24 | plarsen | stickster: I can't navigate their site for some reason. Good old Google found something |
| 19:02.17 | plarsen | http://www.theopendisc.com/latest-version/cover-art/ |
| 19:02.23 | plarsen | I'll just use that |
| 19:02.37 | plarsen | Btw. the fedora updates fixed my sound - FINALLY :D |
| 19:02.49 | plarsen | I was a happy Camper on Friday |
| 19:02.58 | plarsen | Could watch youtube again |
| 19:04.20 | plarsen | Ohh - a final question. I'll bring my laptop - but how much "show and tell" should we actually do? |
| 19:06.03 | stickster | I think the idea is to be *very* general |
| 19:06.39 | stickster | plarsen: We'll just talk about free software being available everywhere, Firefox being a good example |
| 19:06.47 | stickster | OpenOffice.org being another |
| 19:07.04 | stickster | The SFD site http://softwarefreedomday.org/ has good guidelines |
| 19:07.04 | plarsen | right - so it's more like a presentation than show and tell? |
| 19:07.21 | stickster | We just let the public ask questions, and hand out free stuff |
| 19:07.43 | stickster | We'll have some giveaways too -- two nice bags from Novell, provided that jsmith-away gets his to me (or my wife) this week |
| 19:07.48 | stickster | (I have one already) |
| 19:09.10 | stickster | Hm. |
| 19:09.26 | stickster | wonders if anyone's read the OpenDisc FAQ at http://www.theopendisc.com/faq/ about VLC. |
| 19:10.44 | plarsen | hmm - I didn't notice that section no :( |
| 19:10.59 | plarsen | I'll remove VLC from the ISO before I burn anything. |
| 19:12.14 | stickster | I'm not too worried about it, I guess. |
| 19:12.36 | stickster | It would just be nice for them to note up front on their site, or provide a US version. |
| 19:15.33 | plarsen | yeah |
| 19:15.35 | plarsen | I agree |
| 19:16.20 | stickster | I just sent a note to the list so people won't get caught by that, hopefully. |
| 19:16.32 | stickster | Free software shouldn't be illegal software. |
| 19:16.41 | stickster | Even if it is a completely bogus and stupid law. |
| 19:17.21 | plarsen | right - law is still law |
| 19:17.35 | plarsen | Or at least this isn't really the time and place to battle that law |
| 19:20.49 | stickster | Exactly |
| 19:20.55 | stickster | Nor is SFD, obviously |
| 19:21.31 | stickster | The 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 |
| 19:23.27 | plarsen | Btw. I wish that poster had said Fredericksburg |
| 19:23.38 | plarsen | I might have distributed a few things over here and at work |
| 22:10.46 | GGD | hello? |
