[15:26:12] Celine[guest] joins the room
[15:27:22] <Celine[guest]> Hi Jonas, just watched your talk about Freedom box in the EP and wanted to thank you for insights. Very nice presentation and interesting tips!
[15:32:12] <jonas> Celine[guest]: hi!
[15:32:23] <jonas> nice :-)
[15:33:03] <jonas> great to know that my talk has some use!
[15:33:56] <Celine[guest]> By the way I didn't know that Ubuntu is a boot option on some PCs at the EP, so that's good news.
[15:34:03] <jonas> Celine[guest]: I just received some info on my more geek-oriented talk that I gave at FSCONS sunday
[15:34:27] <jonas> ...in case you are geekie and would be interested in that
[15:34:41] <Celine[guest]> yes, any link where to watch it?
[15:35:17] <jonas> well, I don't know yet
[15:35:57] <jonas> what I got a moment ago is a GPG encrypted email from the guy at FSCONS responsible for the video recordings
[15:36:39] <Celine[guest]> maybe the conference website will be updated with video?
[15:36:43] <jonas> I have recently changed email setup from mutt to alot which does not support GPG very well yet, so I haven't actaully read the email :-P
[15:37:44] <jonas> I expect the email to contain a) access information for me to fetch the raw DV streams, and possibly also b) links to already compressed video files published by him
[15:38:19] <jonas> ...but maybe he was nice and made the raw data available for me even before he has encoded them himself
[15:38:35] <Celine[guest]> ok so where can I expect maybe to see the video? :) and I'am afraid I'm not as geekie as you think ;)
[15:38:48] <jonas> if you stay connected here, I'll let you know as soon as I am more informed
[15:39:27] <jonas> alternatively, I will update http://dr.jones.dk/fb/fscons with updated info when I have encoded the video material myself
[15:39:51] <jonas> ...or you can try crawl fscons.org yourself... .-)
[15:40:58] <Celine[guest]> ok, I'll check http://dr.jones.dk/fb/fscons then :-)
[15:42:06] <Celine[guest]> I'm not that into all this IT stuff but it's always great to hear about passionate people doing their best for open source systems
[15:42:20] <Celine[guest]> especially in the EU institutions
[15:42:38] <Celine[guest]> I hope you had some positive feedback from the EP
[15:45:20] <jonas> Celine[guest]: so who are you?
[15:45:30] <jonas> (if you don't mind me asking)
[15:46:05] <jonas> I should mention: this chatroom is public archived
[15:46:26] <jonas> ...in case you worry about privacy
[15:46:37] <Celine[guest]> that's ok, I'm a recent Ubuntu user with a great interest in open source software
[15:47:05] <Celine[guest]> and everything which is an alternative to common thinking, in any area of life
[15:47:24] <Celine[guest]> if this can be summed up this way
[15:47:30] <jonas> i guess so
[15:47:39] <Celine[guest]> :)
[15:47:44] <jonas> i have a vivid imagination of you now .-)
[15:48:05] <jonas> ...but may need to adjust that image if i learn more about you ,-)
[15:48:36] <Celine[guest]> well, that's a pretty accurate description I think
[15:49:12] <Celine[guest]> though partial, of course
[15:50:27] <Celine[guest]> I can contact you through email and send you mine, if you wish to keep in touch
[15:51:10] <Celine[guest]> and I will keep an eye on your website for geekie updates ;-)
[15:53:55] <jonas> sure! My email is dr@jones.dk
[15:54:22] <jonas> I will accept your Facebook rewuest too, but please read http://dr.jones.dk/msg/facebook/
[15:54:47] <Celine[guest]> I read it already ;), and came here indeed
[15:54:57] <jonas> Do you use Jabber
[15:54:59] <jonas> ?
[15:55:23] <Celine[guest]> no, heard of it but I will have a look
[15:55:45] <jonas> excellent
[15:55:53] <jonas> what you use right now is Jabber, btw
[15:56:37] <jonas> (and what you use if you ever play with the "live chat" feature of Facebook is actually also Jabber - but a crippled configuration of it)
[15:58:22] <Celine[guest]> nice to know! :)
[15:59:33] <jonas> Celine[guest]: now I decrypted the medsage from FSCONS video guy: he simply pass me his GPG key and tells me that he has not yet any video material to give me :-(
[15:59:45] <jonas> ...so you'll have to wait a bit for that
[16:03:23] <Celine[guest]> I just sent you my email
[16:03:38] <Celine[guest]> and now I have to switch back to work!
[16:03:42] <jonas> Celine[guest]: just curious: how did you hear about the EPFSUG event?
[16:03:45] <jonas> oh, ok
[16:04:31] <Celine[guest]> I got the news from here: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/cio-european-parliament-free-software-users-are-important-avant-garde
[16:04:54] <Celine[guest]> and followed the links :)
[16:05:04] <Celine[guest]> thank you for nice chat
[16:05:09] <jonas> thanks
[16:05:24] <Celine[guest]> have a nice evening and cheers from Italy!
[16:05:25] <jonas> happy that news stream has an effect :-D
[16:05:54] <jonas> you are quite welcome to pop up and ask questions whenever you like!
[16:05:57] <Celine[guest]> well I hope I was not the only one to watch the talks
[16:06:05] <jonas> here or by mail or using "real" Jabber
[16:06:06] <Celine[guest]> ok, thanks!
[16:06:17] <jonas> you were not the only on
[16:07:01] <Celine[guest]> I may well have a thousand questions! though with Ubuntu I learnt a lot about how to use wikis, forums and community support :)
[16:07:05] <jonas> ...but it is hard to guess how many heard and followed who didn't know about it already
[16:07:16] <jonas> challenge me!
[16:07:41] <Celine[guest]> yes but that was a pretty "specialised" meeting
[16:08:08] <jonas> questions asked in public has the potential of being useful to others too, so I am quite happy to spend time answering also "crazy" questions here
[16:08:27] <Celine[guest]> ok, I'll come up with questions for sure
[16:08:38] <jonas> I wll look forward to that!
[16:09:14] <Celine[guest]> great! I have to go! again, thanks and all the best! :)
[16:09:22] <jonas> EU and privacy concerns isn't really "specialised" topics IMO
[16:09:38] <jonas> ok, I shall not hold you any longer them
[16:09:40] <jonas> then
[16:09:43] <jonas> see ya!
[16:09:55] <Celine[guest]> see you :-), bye!
[16:10:02] <jonas> bye
