Whoops. Didn't reply-all on that last one.

Weird. @ is something I'd expect to see on a username to designate operator
privileges. I've checked out the webchat.freenode.net and it's working OK as
far as I can tell...

I've attached a screenshot (not attaching it to this message to avoid
junking up the list) of what my screen looks like before I hit Connect and
it's connected me successfully using the webchat client.

What browser are you using?

 OK, so it sounds like the mibbit client is still too dumb,

 I didn't have this problem
 the previous time, I
 tried to participate in one of these #ABLEconf sessions...

 and, even that, does not explain why my session at webchat.freenode.net ,
 is
 not able to see anything, that anyone else is saying.

 I did notice that it is displaying my CHANNEL ID as
 #...@ableconf

 but I do not know where that @ came from ...
 (not from me!)
 (at least, not intentionally!)

 MikeSchwartz should work fine as a nickname, I'd suggest trying to avoid
 underscores and other non-alphanumeric characters. And either ableconf or
 #ableconf should work for the webchat.freenode.net client.

 The computer I am sitting at, has (Afaik) no

I participate in the Phoenix Chapter ACM.

That org might want to have a booth, or something, at the ABLEconf.

Please include me for a Cc of any news.


Thanks for volunteering again this year. Please add Phoenix Chapter ACM to

Subject: [Discuss] call for ABLEconf volunteers

moin moin,

ABLEconf is Arizona's premier Free Software event. We are looking at a
Saturday in Oktober for the conference this year.

The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience ( ABLE conf ) is a
business-oriented Free Software conference organized by a coalition of
many Arizona Free Software groups.

In order to put on the conference we need volunteers. Our greatest need
right now is help in getting the word out such that we can get
participation from more groups and hopefully also pick up more volunteers.

ABLEconf will be in Tempe, but it's a state-wide effort. We specifically
want participation from all parts of Arizona.

We need volunteers to help with promo dispersion. Essentially you would
review promo posts from ABLEconf and pass them on if you feel they are
appropriate for the group or media outlet you're interfacing.

Mailing lists, newspapers, blogs and social networking services are
examples of possible groups we want to notify.

We will usually have recommendations as to which types of outlets should get 
the message, but it is up to the individual monitoring a group to
decide whether or not to post the notice.

It is possible for multiple people to monitor a particular outlet. They
will need to then work together. It's also possible for one person to
monitor multiple outlets :).

As an example, I feel this post is appropriate for PLUG and LOPSA-US-AZ,
which I'm currently interfacing, so I will forward it to both of those
groups, but whoever would be interfacing TFUG would look at it and decide
if it's appropriate for TFUG.

http://www.ABLEconf.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Open_Positions

Join our discuss mailing list if you'd like to participate. Please also join us 
for our weekly IRC meetings every Sunday night in #ABLEconf on Freenode at 
20:00.

http://www.ABLEconf.com/participate

http://lists.ABLEconf.com/listinfo.cgi/discuss-ableconf.com

Sunday, July 05 will likely be a small meeting due to the holiday, but
please join us on the 12th and help us put on ABLEconf!

Suggested dispersal: user groups, blogs, social networks, FOSS news
outlets, Arizona community organizations.

Freenode's a IRC network... do you have an IRC client? If not, firefox has
an addon one called ChatZilla that works well enough. There's also xchat and
a few others. I've been on IRC nearly every day for the last 6 or 7 years...

Basically, you want to install and run an IRC client, then once you've got
it running, there'll be a text entry box somewhere, usually at the bottom of
the screen. type in

/server irc.freenode.net

and then hit Enter... wait a bit, it should tell you you're online, then
type

/join #ableconf

and hit Enter again, and it should pop you into the channel for the meeting.

If you don't want to install one, this should work well:

 Last year's event went really well. We've got some experience under our
 belts, so we should be able to do even better this year.

 We do need to do a better job of reaching out to the general public. We
 certainly have opportunity as Free Software makes even more financial
 sense in a down economy.

 This is a state-wide event even though it'll be in the Phoenix area.

 That's open for debate. We'll discuss it at Sunday's IRC meeting.

 To me it looks like we should target early Oktober.

I enjoyed it. I overslept Saturday morning and didn't get there until after 
the first round of presentations started.

I sat in on Darrin's presentation on Open Hardware Specs. I had just had to
deal with this issue at work recently when someone had a system using
a promise raid controller in a system in the lab. They wanted to upgrade to a 
new update of RHEL, but the driver from promise would hang the system 
whenever you tried to write to the device it presented. He was using raid5 so 
using the kernel driver for the promise wouldn't solve the problem.

Next up I listened to Darrin's talk about OpenBSD and pf. Quite a packed room
for this one. Dicussion arose about how to get started with OpenBSD and 
whether generated pf confs from website forms are good.

Then I wanted to listen to the presentation on Inkscape, which is a vector 
graphics program. The LAN party presentation ran about 40 minutes over 
it's time slot. That coupled with some issues getting a laptop and projector
to talk to each other got the Inkscape presentation started late. It was a 
nice demo of the latest features in the dev build (0.47). Anyone interested
in vector graphics should check out the program.

After Inkscape I listened to Darrin's presentation about the LRO project and 
their use of free software @ ASU. They are going to be dealing with ~100TB of 
data a year, and some extremely large high-resolution (1px / 0.5m) images.

The conf ended with a wrap-up session in the auditorium where the different 
free software groups were presented.

A lot of people trekked over to Boulder's on Broadway for food and drink 
afterwards.

In between sessions there was a raffle drawing with t-shirts, media players, a 
hat, and perhaps a penguin being given as prizes. The Ubuntu loco team, PLUG, 
LOPSA, and perhaps one other group had tables set up with goodies for people 
to take.

UAT was pretty nice. I've never made it over there for an installfest. I was 
surprised to learn they have a dormitory out in back.

I can help.  I guess I should just look for you when I get down there?  I don't 
know your real name though, so if you could send it to me.  I also might not be
