| 15:13.45 | plarsen | Good afternoon gentlemen |
| 15:13.55 | plarsen | well, at least me and infobot are here :D |
| 15:14.04 | plarsen | greets infobot eagerly |
| 18:59.45 | plarsen | Congrats jsmith-away !!!! |
| 18:59.46 | plarsen | :) |
| 18:59.48 | plarsen | small world |
| 19:02.17 | stickster | plarsen: Isn't it? |
| 19:02.24 | plarsen | hehe |
| 19:02.47 | plarsen | We're a small user-group in Fredericksburg, but we sure got some "heavy hitters" there :) |
| 19:03.06 | plarsen | So how long a vacation are you going to take stickster after you step down officially? |
| 19:03.15 | plarsen | I mean, without computers, IRC, email or anything |
| 19:03.22 | stickster | plarsen: I WISH! |
| 19:03.31 | plarsen | Yeah? |
| 19:08.56 | plarsen | stickster, so what's next for you? Still staying at RH? |
| 19:09.21 | stickster | Yes sir |
| 19:09.44 | stickster | I'll be spending a couple months mainly assisting Jared, but then over time moving more toward duties in the RHEL department -- more internal stuff |
| 19:09.50 | stickster | some admin, some yet TBD |
| 19:10.15 | stickster | Basically my manager and I work well together and I think he was happy to (a) keep me around, and (b) give me some of his work :-) |
| 19:10.37 | plarsen | So you'll do development or move over to RHEL documentation? |
| 19:16.13 | stickster | plarsen: It's more administrative, cross-team initiatives, and stuff like that |
| 19:16.24 | plarsen | 10-4 |
| 19:16.29 | stickster | The job title is "oeprations manager" |
| 19:16.31 | stickster | *operations |
| 19:16.50 | plarsen | Sorta the same deal you had with Fedora just on the RHEL side? Keeping the peace and direction? |
| 19:20.24 | stickster | Well... maybe about 50% analogous |
| 19:20.50 | plarsen | Smaller but more focused? |
| 19:24.39 | stickster | plarsen: Yeah, I think that's a fair way to put it |
| 19:24.50 | stickster | Fewer stakeholders, equally important but more focused on product stuff |
| 19:27.52 | plarsen | Some would argue a little more important; paying customers yelling usually gets the attention ;) |
| 19:28.15 | plarsen | Hopefully it'll work out for you. Maybe a bit less stressful and less travel? |
| 19:29.25 | stickster | I don't know about either of those, but maybe "challenging in different ways" :-)' |
| 19:30.23 | plarsen | too much management speak for me ... heh |
