14:04:05 <ChanServ> [#www2003] This channel is publicly logged and blogged: http://www2003.xmlhack.com/
14:04:25 <edd> So, anything interesting happen today?
14:06:21 <dajobe> the SVG tutorial rocks apparently
14:07:08 <dajobe> I'm in the AC meeting where it is all secret or exciting or both :)
14:07:21 * darobin wanted to go, sigh
14:07:37 <edd> Such enthusiasm.
14:07:58 <crysflame> AC?
14:08:05 <crysflame> notes? hydra?
14:08:47 <edd> the AC meeting is the W3C advisory committee meeting
14:09:27 <edd> i don't quite understand where Lotus Notes comes in
14:09:29 <darobin> dajobe: who's giving the SVG tute?
14:10:48 <dajobe> the AC meeting is internal W3C stuff
14:10:55 <dajobe> dunno
14:11:19 <darobin> will there be AC minutes or some report?
14:11:25 <dajobe> no, it's internal
14:11:46 <dajobe> the svg tutorial seems to by people from Oxford Brookes Uni in the UK
14:12:21 <edd> the CSW folk?
14:12:24 <darobin> I don't care, I'm AC rep so I can get at internal stuff. I just want to know if they exist as I couldn't go :)
14:12:46 <dajobe> oh darobin well there are live irc chat & slides, you should be able to see that
14:12:57 * crysflame wonders idly what AC is.
14:12:57 <crysflame> slides?
14:13:11 <dajobe> <edd>the AC meeting is the W3C advisory committee meeting
14:13:13 <edd> crysflame: i just explained, a few moments ago
14:13:23 <crysflame> oh, that's what that meant
14:13:27 <crysflame> heh
14:13:33 <crysflame> excuse the learning
14:13:36 * crysflame puts on the dunce hat
14:14:22 <darobin> dajobe: I couldn't find much from the site, I'll dig more thanks
14:14:41 <dajobe> darobin: the member's home page links to the agenda & slides
14:15:10 <dajobe> there are lots of people here now, and the conf doesn't start proper till tomorrow
14:15:23 <dajobe> so the tutorials and workshops look like they are well attended
14:15:46 <dajobe> for those who ventured outside, it was very sunny & hot
14:15:56 <dajobe> i.e. sunburn and hayfever attacks for those who suffer that
14:16:13 * darobin slaps himself
14:16:21 <crysflame> where's the member's homepage at?
14:16:33 <darobin> I skipped the "agenda" page thinking it'd be content-free, thanks :)
14:16:48 <dajobe> crysflame: unless you are a W3C meember, it is confidential
14:17:26 <dajobe> and I can't talk about it ;)
14:17:32 <crysflame> oh.
14:17:34 <darobin> hehe :)
14:17:39 <crysflame> should i leave?
14:17:47 * crysflame doesn't want to violate ndas or anything
14:18:05 <darobin> no this is a public channel
14:18:08 <dajobe> i've not told you anything I wasn't allowed to
14:18:15 <dajobe> and I wrote the software that is logging this publically so....
14:18:19 <darobin> anything sikkrit requires the sikkrit handshake
14:18:33 <mattb> "oops, i erased the logs"
14:19:41 <crysflame> ok
14:19:54 * crysflame goes back to listening
14:20:16 <dajobe> tomorrow the public conference starts, most of the fun will be then 9am UTC+1
14:22:25 <dajobe> UTC+2 that should be
14:22:32 <dajobe> summer time, in this hemisphere
14:23:11 <crysflame> otay
14:23:17 <crysflame> that'd be midnight tonight, then
14:23:30 <dajobe> that really depends where you are
14:24:14 <darobin> but for sure there'll be somewhere where it's midnight :)
14:24:19 * crysflame returns then.
