20:06.34brastoeggyknap: what did you think of my response on the udbug mail list?
20:14.06eggyknapI agree. I doubt we have the mass to stand as our own group at this point.
20:14.36eggyknap...and it's doubtful the various group members think they have teh time/bandwidth/etc. to devote to another stand-alone user group
20:16.37eggyknapbrasto: I know effectively no one. To whom should I address myself when saying to various *UGs, "Hi, we exist, and would like to present at your meeting if you have a slot and folks that care"?
20:21.00Yorokobieggyknap, utos has a list of the local UGs. Their respective websites might have the UG president (or whatever) information.
20:21.21YorokobiI know the Ubuntu Utah group is always looking for presenters.
20:22.15eggyknapcouldn't find the SLLUG pres, but seems to remember a presentation request on the sllug list recently
20:23.04eggyknapAll of which suggests the following question: Who out there has an exciting presentation they'd be interested in giving?
20:23.17eggyknapknows Yorokobi is in demand for his 1337 pf sk!llz
20:23.30eggyknapBut pf != DB, really
20:23.46Yorokobionly because few people take the time to learn pf
20:24.01Yorokobi... which takes less time and effort than iptables ... :)
20:24.37Yorokobieggyknap, there's another path for you: join the mailing lists for all the UGs :)
20:24.50eggyknapheh
20:27.41fungusloves pf
20:28.14fungustolerates iptables
20:28.16eggyknapdoes too
20:28.23eggyknapThere's a special place in my heart for ALTQ
20:28.34fungusooh, yeah, that's a lot fun
20:28.57eggyknapfun, and a good way of saving your $behind sometimes.
20:36.00eggyknapenjoyed Jay Pipes' Join-Fu talk, and wonders if more advanced SQL would be a welcome presentation
20:36.24eggyknapOr perhaps a procedural language primer
20:38.26Yorokobiwould enjoy a PL/SQL (Postgres-specific, of course) primer.
20:44.22*** join/#udbug beandog (n=steve@gentoo/developer/beandog)
20:46.02eggyknapPL/pgSQL primers would be fun, but most of UDBUG, at least, is MySQL-oriented
20:46.33beandogheathens
20:46.53eggyknaplol :)
20:49.16YorokobiAll the better reason to do one on PL/pgSQL. Give the "unwashed" an taste of the good life.
20:49.28eggyknapHrm... perhaps a tutorial on time / date / interval handling. That's always a tricky one. Any volunteers? :)
20:49.41eggyknapjust finished fighting Oracle's INTERVAL type again
