XSF Discussion - 2014-01-29

Yes, Remko has such a thing I believe.

He'll be at the summit tomorrow.

thanks Kev. Will ping him

looks like Lloyd Watkin made some progress on the XEP last night too. https://twitter.com/lloydwatkin/status/428349135578595328

Afternoon.

Indeed, it is.

I don't suppose anyone's heard from Florian, have they?

Not a single stanza.

Hmmm.

How long ago did you order the über?

sometimes it can take a little longer for them to turn up.

The problem is that on Monday, he said he's sort the menu and coach for Saturday night. But I've not heard from him since.

I've sent him a text or two, and tried calling.

That was bad typing. "He said he's sorting". In fact, would sort on Monday.

Nothing on his Twatter feed either.

I'd stress that I am entirely confident in his abilities and dedication to The Cause. But I'm quite nervous.

Is he at the Summit?

No... He said he'd booked a flight coming in on Friday evening.

I know he like his non-federated social networks: You could try twitter DMing him. /me goes to wash.

I'm tempted to call him from a different mobile number in case he's seriously in hiding. :-)

Simon, I don't know how.

hehe

Let me see if I have Twatter installed.

I'll ping him to ping you.

That'd be good.

Not that I have anything but total confidence in him, you understand.

We understand. It's the Deus ex Machina part you don't like.

Pinged. I'll let you know know if I see any movements online from him

Simon: ta

The only other alternative I can see is to contact the restaurant directly; I'd need to beg help from a Dutch-speaker for that I think. (Their website is in Dutch, at least).

And as for the coach, I assume that we could source one.

dwd: give him a while to see if he responds to the DM.

I'm sure one of the Dutch speaking guys in the XSF can make a few phone calls if need should arise (say, tonight.)

Both ralphm and I are quite busy packing things for BRU.

ugh, I know I shouldn't take a nap... but that falafal we had for lunch is really making me drowsy

Hmm Adium doesn't work too well on flakey 3G! Just lost my message!

Was saying is anyone around earlier tonight and fancies grabbing dinner somewhere?

Laura and I are getting in on the Eurostar at about 6pm

We're only leaving here at 3am. :(

Ouch!

is there a plan for tonight? I'm trying not to sleep until it's a more reasonable time.

hildjj: hehe

hildjj: we (intosi and I) are still packing, waiting for the bean bags to be delivered

hopefully we'll be in Brussels at a reasonable time

(it is not more than 1.5h drive)

I'll try to wait patiently.

same here

lance/hildjj: did you reinvent xmpp on the plane :-)

hildjj I'm going to head downstairs and find some coffee. need a caffeine infusion for any hope of staying awake till a decent time

fippo: no. but, CBOR.

fippo when do you arrive?

Lance: i'm in a different hotel. but let me know when you're ready to go the other way.

hildjj: linuxwolf predicted that (-:

lance: my flight leaves munich at 3pm so i think 7pm

I'm waiting for Eurostar. Nobody else here yet as far as I know.

MattJ's on his way, though. I stop to look under every hat.

Dave, were we supposed to meet you at St. Pancras?

Hmm, Brussels has a large park near the University

Maybe we should tag MattJ

dwd: rather than lifting everyone's hats, just look for a dad.

Ian's not coming.

That's it. I'm cancelling.

It has, I feel, rather spoilt the point.

There is someone who looks almost exactly like PSA here.

By which I mean, he's bald.

That's Brian Cranston.

wooot

Amagad

Feel my envy!

reading the above, I still have no idea where we are meeting tonight :)

Hello, I’d like to attend the summit this year, I’m not a member and it’s a bit late, but I hope it will be possible. :)

bear: isn't there a summit@ room?

Link Mauve: that shouldn't be a problem, we're flexible and not members-only for sure!

Great!

however I need to log off right now, but I assume that bear can help you

or ralphm

I'll be back in ~30 minutes

Thank you. :)

Link Mauve: unfortunately I won't be at the Summit this year so I won't get the chance to meet you :(

anyway bbiab

there is a summit@ room but for some reason others have been pointing folks to this room for discussions

Link Mauve: did we add you to the list?

ok. I'm ready for a beer. http://www.poechenellekelder.be/

You'r downstairs?

+e

no, i'm staying at the Méridien.

I'll buy a beer for the first one that finds me.

Ah.

The poech is right across from the Mannekin Pis. Very easy to find.

and lots of food options nearby.

If something else happens, someone please ping me.

stpeter, not yet.

(I’m at the German family of my sister’s penpal, it was time to socialize. ^^)

Link Mauve: that's good :-)

step 1, change my password :-)

Link Mauve: what information shall I put down for http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summit_15#Participants ?

Heh

waqas: I try to change all my passwords at least once a year

stpeter, I already have a place to stay at, from today to sunday.

Link Mauve: great

Link Mauve: I'll need your real name (which might be Link Mauve I suppose) so that you can have a name badge to access the Cisco building

Ah, I’m Emmanuel Gil Peyrot.

ok :-)

will you need / want Internet access?

I have nothing against getting called Link Mauve IRL. ^^

if so, let me know your email address (you can send it via PM if you prefer)

I don’t *need* it, but it’d be nice during the time of the event. :)

right :-)

It’s ok, linkmauve@linkmauve.fr.

It’s public anyway.

ok, thanks

Link Mauve: OK, I have added you to the wiki page and also forwarded your information for WiFi access

I haven’t received any information yet.

Link Mauve: I don't know exactly when the wifi credentials will be set up

Ok, no problem. ^^

Anybody at the hotel or bar at the moment? I'm arriving in half an hour or so.. Plane was really delayed

zooldk: I believe there are some people downstairs now.

While the antisocial among us went back to our rooms to bed.

Ok thanks kev

Just need to check in and then have a single beer afterwards

Just stand in the bar and shout "XMPP"

Ha ha! I think I know most of you

You down there Matt?

Nah, I'm anti-social

or tired

Ha ha

Do federate :-)

I arrive at airport 09.20

Tired as well.. Bit a single night cap can't hurt

Jabberjocke: cool! It will be nice talking to you again.. I have more IoT stuff in my head we have to talk about

just unboxed another thing from Tasmania Australia

Has anyone else tried closing the curtains...?

It's like they intentionally designed them to not close

He can write an XMPP server but not close curtains. Sigh!

Oh, I managed in the end

Despite their best efforts to stop me
