| [00:30] <jono> cprofitt, congrats on your CC position! | |
| [00:33] <cjohnston> congrats cprofitt | |
| [00:33] <cjohnston> just read that | |
| [00:35] <cprofitt> thanks cjohnston | |
| [00:36] <cjohnston> Nice to see you step down from the LC as well. :-) | |
| [00:36] * cprofitt nods | |
| [00:36] <cjohnston> (not that you being on the LC was a bad thing) | |
| [00:36] <cprofitt> I truly believe that it is the right thing to do | |
| [00:36] <cjohnston> I agree | |
| [00:36] <cprofitt> as I stated at UDS | |
| [00:37] <bkerensa> congrats cprofitt | |
| [00:37] <cprofitt> thanks bkerensa | |
| [00:51] <nigelb> Congrats cprofitt :) | |
| [00:53] <bkerensa> cprofitt: Does that mean your going to help fix the bug that akgraner mentioned in her blog post? :P | |
| [00:54] <cprofitt> I am not sure what stage that is at bkerensa - I do know it is being looked at | |
| [00:54] <cprofitt> and has been under discussion | |
| [00:55] <akgraner> I'm still working on it :-) | |
| [00:56] <cprofitt> that reminds me I still have to finish one of the things I was working on too... | |
| [00:56] <cprofitt> gotta get that sent out | |
| [01:01] <bkerensa> :) So pleia2 was able to share a interesting fact on UDS which likely should have been included for those who got sponsorship e-mails basically there is a room deposit | |
| [01:02] <bkerensa> and in this case the marriott charges $50xnight up front and holds it for 10 business days so $300 | |
| [01:03] <bkerensa> I guess this was a issue at one point in the past because it had not been announced and one or more people showed up and were not prepared to pony up $300 on a credit card | |
| [01:04] <cprofitt> bkerensa: for this upcoming UDS or previous ones? | |
| [01:06] <mhall119> bkerensa: what's up? | |
| [01:11] <bkerensa> cprofitt: For this one and apparently previous ones | |
| [01:11] <bkerensa> cprofitt: philipballew and I are sending a e-mail out to address it were CC'ing Comm Council | |
| [01:13] <cjohnston> CC doesnt really have anything to do with it | |
| [01:14] <cjohnston> That would be something to address with Canonical | |
| [01:14] <bkerensa> cjohnston: ok | |
| [01:21] <cprofitt> bkerensa: the deposit is refunded after your room is not destroyed right? | |
| [01:22] <cjohnston> normally they make you put a card on hold... | |
| [01:23] <cjohnston> AFAIK every hotel does this | |
| [01:23] <akgraner> the way that works is for atm cards it can be held by your bank for up to 10 days | |
| [01:23] <akgraner> that's a policy for almost *all* hotels | |
| [01:23] <akgraner> for CC cards it only takes about 3 business days to see the funds | |
| [01:24] <akgraner> the hotel doesn't hold the money for 10 days - they release with 24 hours most of the time - or the next business day following your checkout | |
| [01:26] <akgraner> for the case of events like uds or anything else where you have roommates and the room charge and tax goes to the master folio - the incidentals (phone, movie, mini bar etc) are not covered by Canonical | |
| [01:26] <akgraner> or the sponsoring agency | |
| [01:26] <akgraner> that's hotel policy | |
| [01:26] <cjohnston> bkerensa: ^ | |
| [01:26] <bkerensa> akgraner: Yeah... I just wanted to bring it up because it was not announced and I guess in the past this has been a problem | |
| [01:27] <bkerensa> with some sponsored attendees not having the money to cover it | |
| [01:28] <akgraner> bkerensa, then in my mind - an email should go to those being sponsored explaining it, then if someone can't do that email Marianna explaining the situation so it can be worked out on a case by case basis | |
| [01:29] <akgraner> I wouldn't make a big deal about it - but instead say - hey jono can you bring this to Marianna's attention please | |
| [01:37] <cjohnston> I guess I would think it would be prudent of the attendee to understand the policy of the hotel and not Marianna's job to figure it out and explain it to us | |
| [01:44] <nigelb> I don't know what you mean by "it's been a problem" | |
| [01:44] <nigelb> you just need to talk to marianna or someone at the Hotel. | |
| [01:45] <cjohnston> nigelb: because the attendee doesn't have the ability to cover it | |
| [01:46] <nigelb> cjohnston: I've seen marianna smootht that over with hotel staff. | |
| [01:47] <cjohnston> Again I would think that attendees would consider that all hotel/flight rules apply | |
| [02:13] <cprofitt> when I have done it -- it does not show as a charge... | |
| [02:14] <cprofitt> I would have to go back and take a look though | |

| [07:17] <czajkowski> morning | |
| [07:19] <czajkowski> bkerensa: the CC has nothing to do with the sponsorship of UDS, it goes via Canonical and Marianna who does the organising of it | |
| [11:02] <cjohnston> uggh | |
| [11:03] <czajkowski> cjohnston: sore head? | |
| [11:03] <cjohnston> no, just awake | |
| [15:09] <snap-l> jcastro: Happy Birthday | |
| [15:21] <cjohnston> happy birthday jcastro | |
| [15:25] <nothingspecial> for he's a jolly good fellow :D | |
| [15:37] <M0hi> Happy Birthday jcastro :] | |
| [16:52] <cjohnston> czajkowski: /26 | |
| [16:52] <cjohnston> sorry czajkowski | |
| [16:52] <s-fox> Hello :) | |
| [16:59] <cjohnston> since I did ping you.. czajkowski, since a post was made to planet about the changes to LP, would it maybe be possible to get one saying they have been postponed since not everyone is on that ML | |
| [17:00] <czajkowski> cjohnston: I posed the launchpad-dev link which is public, the post was up for all of 4 mins | |
| [17:00] <M0hi> hello s-fox :] | |
| [17:01] <cjohnston> right.. but people who only read planet saw it on planet and never saw an update AFAIK | |
| [17:03] <czajkowski> I';ll ask Monday | |
| [17:03] <cjohnston> ty | |
| [17:03] <czajkowski> but I suspect the answer will be read lp-dev as thats where the info is and explainations of stuff is | |
| [17:04] <czajkowski> and where people are to comment | |
| [17:04] <cjohnston> I understand that.. but not everyone is on lp-devs, nor would know to go there to look for it.. just an announcement that its been postponed would be good IMO | |
| [17:05] <czajkowski> fine, will ask. | |
| [17:05] <czajkowski> but for now its the weekend and not looking at anything lp releated as thats work. | |
| [17:05] <czajkowski> tis the weekend so rugby and ubuntu work now | |
| [17:05] <cjohnston> k | |
