Breeze Chat Log
Mike Osterman: Hello, Zach.
Zach: Good morning, west coast. Good afternoon east coast.
Mike Osterman: I'm coming to you from an iMac Core Duo.
Mike Osterman: 20 incher. 
Zach: Ooh!
Mike Osterman: Here are some quick Sakai stats
Mike Osterman: Old machine:
Mike Osterman: Building Sakai: old = 2:25 new = 1:18
Mike Osterman: Deploy old=0:46 new=0:30
Zach: That spells productivity! 
Mike Osterman: Start up Tomcat old=1:14 new=0:29
Zach: Should be easy to convince my department to buy me one.
Mike Osterman: That was my justification.
Zach: Are we going to be wired for sound?
Mike Osterman: This is the bigger one with the memory maxed at 2 gigs.
Mike Osterman: Sure doesn't look like it. 
Mike Osterman: Yours isn't picking up camera or voice either?
Zach: I thought Breeze could do that...
Zach: I have a camera and voice box, but there's nothing in it.
Mike Osterman: Me too.
Zach: Let me make sure my audio is configured.
Mike Osterman: I know it's not an Intel thing then.
Thomas Amsler: hello
Mike Osterman: I'm already getting paranoid.
Mike Osterman: Hello, Thomas!
Mike Osterman: Say, I heard from Lisa that you're going to be a dad. Congratulations!
Thomas Amsler: zach do you have a mice
Zach: I have a mic. So you can't hear me?
Aaron Zeckoski: oops
Aaron Zeckoski: 
Aaron Zeckoski: 5th Sakai Conference in Vancouver, BC is four full days and provides more in-depth sessions for everyone from faculty to developers!
bcrosbie: sorry I'm late
Mike Osterman: NP
Aaron Zeckoski: hey bill
Aaron Zeckoski: amen to that
Mike Osterman: Zach - are you drilling?
Aaron Zeckoski:
bcrosbie: I think providers deserve their own session
Aaron Zeckoski: I would say we need to go less theory and more application if that makes sense
Aaron Zeckoski: THat's true
Aaron Zeckoski: but we got our provider to work pretty quick and getting our first sakai app to work took A LOT longer
Mike Osterman: What would everyone else have liked when they first started?
bcrosbie: That's a good question Mike - I think this grew out of frustration with the training that was offered to us
Aaron Zeckoski: I think it uses a pirate flag image
Mike Osterman: That's true.
Aaron Zeckoski: good idea
Mike Osterman: Good idea
Mike Osterman: We should all have contrib now.
Mike Osterman: I think
Zach: How do I do a thumbs up, Aaron?
Aaron Zeckoski: click "my status" and select the one you want
Aaron Zeckoski: it is above the names list
Aaron Zeckoski: later Mike!
Aaron Zeckoski: yeah
Aaron Zeckoski: definitely, the break up sucked
Aaron Zeckoski: I blame the planner for that
Aaron Zeckoski: go from scratch is my vote
Aaron Zeckoski: Good point, JSF = sad Aaron
Aaron Zeckoski: and that is a single = not an ==
Aaron Zeckoski: sorry
Aaron Zeckoski: webservices at night as optional?
Zach: Bill, do you happen to have any headphones on you?
bcrosbie: will go dig some up
Aaron Zeckoski: cool
Aaron Zeckoski: programming track is being pitched for this conference, I will advocate that
Aaron Zeckoski: with the rest of the conf planning committee
Thomas Amsler: great idea
Aaron Zeckoski: not just you
Thomas Amsler: same here
Aaron Zeckoski: as little as possible but it is still important to touch on it
bcrosbie: I think if you show it in the context of using it within sakai
Aaron Zeckoski: yeah, bill has a good idea there
Thomas Amsler: agree
Thomas Amsler: brb
Aaron Zeckoski: Right, Josh and Ray gave the weirdo split a big thumbs down when I talked to them
bcrosbie: wow - this is a big shift....
Zach: but you agree, right Bill?
bcrosbie: totally agree - I think that simple tools should be coded simply
Zach: It's a problem of having to hold half a dozen things in your brain at the same time.
Aaron Zeckoski: my brain on has room for.... what were we talking about?
Aaron Zeckoski: on = only
Aaron Zeckoski: Good plan
Aaron Zeckoski: divide it up by outcomes if possible... maybe 90 minute blocks
bcrosbie: I'll be at a conf next week
bcrosbie: just don't assign everything to me.
Thomas Amsler: yep
Zach: this time works for me, but I'm fairly flexible.
Aaron Zeckoski: I have some time, but let me finish the registration system first
Aaron Zeckoski:
Thomas Amsler: ok
Aaron Zeckoski: sure, but I recommend we don't turn it into a huge committee
Thomas Amsler: agree
Zach: I agree we want a small group. Just a good subject matter expert.
Aaron Zeckoski: cool idea
Aaron Zeckoski: we can work that into the overall outline
Aaron Zeckoski: Not a problem, I can definitely do that
Zach: Maybe we should call it Cocktail Hour for Geeks.
Thomas Amsler: programmers cafe
Aaron Zeckoski: cute
Zach: ooh, very refined.
Aaron Zeckoski: I like the programmers cafe one
Aaron Zeckoski: it sounds so... smart
