XSF Discussion - 2014-01-21

dwd: do you mean "we'd like to extend our thanks to Corp for their sponsorship of the XSF. This will help promote open federated communicaton… " type announcement or?

Simon, I was thinking a less formal, "&Yet [or whoever] have kindly offered €1,000 toward the XSF Dinner". But whatever.

Indeed. Always nice to tell sponsors about the good things that their money will do for them (besides affording me my McDonalds :)

Will we need to choose from the menu before the event again?

intosi, That level of logistics is down to FLorian, who seems very oevrworked at the moment.

Too many Taxis?

"Its not a taxi, its an executive transport service" - Florian when mentioning taxis

Are developers also allowed to use über or can only "executives" ?

Executive Developers are.

It got some fair price last time in london, with some good discount.

:-)

I read that the über drivers in Paris have to be delayed by 15 mins to avoid "unfair" competition with the ,kca

local drivers.

ha ha

isn't it a free market there?

Guess France has a different view on free markets…

;-)

well we have a special law here as well for taxies.. And I dont think über can easily enter here as well.

Funny thing is that all the Munich (regular) drivers already use an über equivalent for arranging pickups (and drive around doing normal pickups too).

Steffen Larsen: let me know where there are true free markets for taxis

he he

Where's here?

Copenhagen

well Denmark

I think it is regulated everywhere

ralphm: true.. that was my point.. a bit of irony

On phone to Domicilium.

They just say to send a mail to helpdesk@domicilium.com. Which doesn't sound hopeful.

begin spamming…. NOW!

No, best not. I'll try a different approach.

Did you try ping that guy on LinkedIn?

Simon, He's a 3rd-level contact, I'll see if I can edge closer first. :-)

Ever since I started at Rackspace I've been spoiled by Fanatical Support. I suppose Domicilium doesn't have it?

I think you misspelt that.

It's "Fanatical Support™", isn't it?

Chatted with James Body - "https://www.linkedin.com/pub/phil-adcock/7/86/436 is definitely the guy you want" try him on phil.adcock@domecill….im

Found his e-mail: padcock@domicilium.com Twitter @philipadcock

Ah, good.

dwd: probably. In any case, you start expecting it from every service company, is my experience. Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.

Linkedin has just asked me "Where is Winfried?". Creepy.

That's quite scary.

He's behind you

ARGH

You faithfully answered xsf@muc.xmpp.org?

dwd: my contact brings more info:    Headquarters The Isle of Man Datacentre Ronaldsway Industrial Estate Ballasalla IM9 2RS Isle of Man    Phone:  +44 1624-825278 Contacts:  Mr. Phil Adcock, Technical Director padcock@domicilium.com Mr. David Artus, Account Manager dartus@domicilium.com

Thanks.

Is that the sort of stuff we should be publicly archiving?

Kev, You're normally the one arguing things should be publicly archived. :-)

Not people's phone numbers.

That's the main switchboard number.

Ah, OK.

and his email address is on a few press releases.

Mailed him too.

Ah, Phil Adcock just connected with me on LinkedIn. So, progress.

Sent a message via LinkedIn to Phil Adcock.

Yay :)

best friends forever?

Well, he's not replied since I said that. :-)

Simon jinxed it

:)

:)

Simon: please don't jinx stuff

"not best friends forever?"

there.

did he call back?
