XSF Discussion - 2014-01-29


  1. Kev

    Yes, Remko has such a thing I believe.

  2. Kev

    He'll be at the summit tomorrow.

  3. Simon

    thanks Kev. Will ping him

  4. Simon

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

  5. dwd

    Afternoon.

  6. intosi

    Indeed, it is.

  7. dwd

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

  8. intosi

    Not a single stanza.

  9. dwd

    Hmmm.

  10. Simon

    How long ago did you order the über?

  11. Simon

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

  12. dwd

    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.

  13. dwd

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

  14. dwd

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

  15. Simon

    Nothing on his Twatter feed either.

  16. dwd

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

  17. Simon

    Is he at the Summit?

  18. dwd is somewhere between Reading and Paddington.

  19. dwd

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

  20. Simon

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

  21. dwd

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

  22. dwd

    Simon, I don't know how.

  23. Tobias

    hehe

  24. Simon

    Let me see if I have Twatter installed.

  25. Simon

    I'll ping him to ping you.

  26. dwd

    That'd be good.

  27. dwd

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

  28. intosi

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

  29. Simon

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

  30. intosi

    Simon: ta

  31. dwd

    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).

  32. dwd

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

  33. intosi

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

  34. intosi

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

  35. intosi

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

  36. bear

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

  37. bear sets *two* alarms

  38. Ashley Ward

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

  39. Ashley Ward

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

  40. Ashley Ward

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

  41. Simon

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

  42. Ashley Ward

    Ouch!

  43. hildjj follows ralphm's directions

  44. hildjj

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

  45. ralphm

    hildjj: hehe

  46. ralphm

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

  47. ralphm

    hopefully we'll be in Brussels at a reasonable time

  48. ralphm

    (it is not more than 1.5h drive)

  49. hildjj

    I'll try to wait patiently.

  50. Lance

    same here

  51. Lance in zombie state

  52. fippo

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

  53. Lance

    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

  54. hildjj

    fippo: no. but, CBOR.

  55. Lance

    fippo when do you arrive?

  56. hildjj

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

  57. fippo

    hildjj: linuxwolf predicted that (-:

  58. fippo

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

  59. Dave Cridland

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

  60. Dave Cridland

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

  61. hildjj

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

  62. ralphm

    Hmm, Brussels has a large park near the University

  63. ralphm

    Maybe we should tag MattJ

  64. Simon

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

  65. Dave Cridland

    Ian's not coming.

  66. Simon

    That's it. I'm cancelling.

  67. Dave Cridland

    It has, I feel, rather spoilt the point.

  68. Dave Cridland

    There is someone who looks almost exactly like PSA here.

  69. Dave Cridland

    By which I mean, he's bald.

  70. hildjj

    That's Brian Cranston.

  71. ralphm

    https://twitter.com/ralphm/status/428544127765348352

  72. ralphm

    wooot

  73. Zash

    Amagad

  74. Zash

    Feel my envy!

  75. bear

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

  76. Link Mauve

    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. :)

  77. stpeter

    bear: isn't there a summit@ room?

  78. stpeter

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

  79. Link Mauve

    Great!

  80. stpeter

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

  81. stpeter

    or ralphm

  82. stpeter

    I'll be back in ~30 minutes

  83. Link Mauve

    Thank you. :)

  84. stpeter

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

  85. stpeter

    anyway bbiab

  86. bear

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

  87. stpeter

    Link Mauve: did we add you to the list?

  88. hildjj

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

  89. Kev

    You'r downstairs?

  90. Kev

    +e

  91. hildjj

    no, i'm staying at the Méridien.

  92. hildjj

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

  93. Kev

    Ah.

  94. hildjj

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

  95. hildjj

    and lots of food options nearby.

  96. hildjj

    If something else happens, someone please ping me.

  97. Link Mauve

    stpeter, not yet.

  98. Link Mauve

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

  99. stpeter

    Link Mauve: that's good :-)

  100. stpeter logs into wiki.xmpp.org

  101. stpeter

    step 1, change my password :-)

  102. stpeter

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

  103. waqas

    Heh

  104. stpeter

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

  105. Link Mauve

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

  106. stpeter

    Link Mauve: great

  107. stpeter

    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

  108. Link Mauve

    Ah, I’m Emmanuel Gil Peyrot.

  109. stpeter

    ok :-)

  110. stpeter

    will you need / want Internet access?

  111. Link Mauve

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

  112. stpeter

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

  113. Link Mauve

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

  114. stpeter

    right :-)

  115. Link Mauve

    It’s ok, linkmauve@linkmauve.fr.

  116. Link Mauve

    It’s public anyway.

  117. stpeter

    ok, thanks

  118. stpeter

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

  119. Link Mauve

    I haven’t received any information yet.

  120. stpeter

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

  121. Link Mauve

    Ok, no problem. ^^

  122. zooldk

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

  123. Kev

    zooldk: I believe there are some people downstairs now.

  124. Kev

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

  125. zooldk

    Ok thanks kev

  126. zooldk

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

  127. MattJ

    Just stand in the bar and shout "XMPP"

  128. zooldk

    Ha ha! I think I know most of you

  129. zooldk

    You down there Matt?

  130. MattJ

    Nah, I'm anti-social

  131. MattJ

    or tired

  132. zooldk

    Ha ha

  133. zooldk

    Do federate :-)

  134. jabberjocke

    I arrive at airport 09.20

  135. zooldk

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

  136. zooldk

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

  137. jabberjocke

    just unboxed another thing from Tasmania Australia

  138. MattJ

    Has anyone else tried closing the curtains...?

  139. MattJ

    It's like they intentionally designed them to not close

  140. Simon

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

  141. MattJ

    Oh, I managed in the end

  142. MattJ

    Despite their best efforts to stop me
