davereid is now known as davereid|lunch (10:41:47 AM)
10:43:35 AM webchick: jredding: how does this compare though to DrupalCon Barcelona? I imagine in Barcelona it's unusual to have English conferences too.
10:43:47 AM webchick: But it was an English conference w/ Catalan translation
10:44:09 AM webchick: (I'm fine with a portuguese conference, but that's gonna spook off a lot of the big names imo)
10:47:40 AM Kevinjohn: Also a great number of conferences in Barcelona are in English (e.g MWC last month). Europeans outside of the UK are generally good at knowing multiple languages (especially if they code in English)
10:48:18 AM webchick: Ah, I see.
10:49:12 AM GaborHojtsy: BTW on Barcelona: http://barcelona2012.drupaldays.org/ !!
10:49:31 AM webchick: GaborHojtsy: are you going there?
10:49:36 AM GaborHojtsy: I do!
10:49:39 AM shannonv: he's having a sprint!
10:49:43 AM webchick: nice!
10:49:53 AM webchick: I'm sure I knew that at some point before DrupalCon destroyed my brains
10:49:55 AM GaborHojtsy: Developer Days are huge in Europe, last year it was 300-400ish in Brussels
10:50:08 AM shannonv: wow… didn't know that about brussels
10:50:41 AM shannonv: jredding: if the con is for spanish/port. speaking people I see the language logic, but am still bummed I can't go
10:52:03 AM jredding: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg
10:54:06 AM shannonv: webchick: DID in deed say "flava-flav".
10:54:11 AM shannonv: LOL
10:54:11 AM stephelhajj: anyone not on the phone totally missed out.
10:54:26 AM webchick: hahaha. that's an old habit from Lullabot. That's what we called the non-primary speaker at trainings.
10:54:27 AM shannonv: webchick: you're outed… we all know you watched "flavor of love" now.
10:54:52 AM stephelhajj: *designs drupal clock chain for web chick*
10:54:54 AM shannonv: I bet you also watch "coco & ice"… don't deny.
10:54:59 AM webchick: stephelhajj: LOL
10:55:02 AM shannonv: stephelhajj++
10:55:44 AM GaborHojtsy: woooah, launch Drupal.org on Drupal 8
10:55:51 AM webchick: *hides*
10:56:25 AM jredding: now: Drupal.org —> Drupal 7..
10:56:36 AM jredding: when Drupal 8 is getting ready to launch, we should be ready to launch drupal.org on Drupal 8
10:57:31 AM shannonv: cool
10:57:55 AM jeremyr: I heard something about a couple of job openings with the association. Can you tell us more?
10:58:29 AM Kevinjohn: All of these changes seem quite technical. For me (sorry) the feedback that I hear the most is that the jargon / tone of voice / Information Architecture is something we can't ignore.
10:59:01 AM webchick: http://groups.drupal.org/node/218254
10:59:05 AM webchick: ^^ Project coordinator position
