SF: January 2017

[erickt]

Candidates:

• [ ] @jwilm on alacrity?
• [ ] @jameysharp on corrode
• ???

[jwilm]

I could make that work! For scheduling, later in the month is preferable if that's possible.

[erickt]

how about a tentative January 26? @jameysharp, is that what we were thinking?

[jwilm]

that sounds like a really great date

[jameysharp]

We'd been talking about January 19th, which would be better for me, if that's OK with you all?

[erickt]

@jwilm: that work for you?

[erickt]

@jwilm: also, Jamey will be coming in from out of town for the talk, so he gets preference :)

[jwilm]

That works for me

[michaelsproul]

I'm available to do a (remote) talk about aus_senate on the 19th

(moving this conversation here from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5drfuz/computing_the_result_of_the_2016_australian/da6vo9h/)

[erickt]

Great! @michaelsproul, @jwilm, and @jameysharp: we got the room for the 1/19! I'll see you that night!!

[jameysharp]

Is this event in the San Francisco Mozilla office?

[erickt]

@jameysharp yes it will be.

[Manishearth]

Yep. They always are.

[erickt]

Also, @jameysharp / @michaelsproul / @jwilm: can each of you give me a sentence or two describing your talks for the meetup announcement?

[jwilm]

Alacritty - A cross-platform, GPU enhanced terminal emulator

[michaelsproul]

How to calculate a nation state's election result in your bedroom: The algorithm for deciding Australian senate elections is quite complex, and despite pressure from the public, there is no reference implementation available. I'll talk about how I re-implemented it in Rust, handling gigabytes of ballot papers and crunching millions of rational numbers in the process.

[michaelsproul]

@erickt: What will the set up be like for me presenting remotely? Is there a specific bit of screen-sharing software that people usually use? We can chat via email to avoid spamming this thread if you like (I'm micsproul blahblah gmail.com).

[erickt]

@jameysharp howdy! I just wanted to check in and see how things are coming along. You ready for Thursday?

[jameysharp]

@erickt I'll be there! I've been meaning to ask, how long do you want each presentation to be? Given that there are three talks, should I be aiming for 30 minutes including questions?

Also, I'm currently planning to spend Thursday at the Mozilla San Francisco office, and Friday at the Mozilla Mountain View office, if anybody wants to say hi!

[Manishearth]

Heh, might come down to MTV on Friday then, haven't done so in a while.

[Manishearth]

(See you at the SF office on Thursday, anyway!)

[erickt]

@jameysharp: 30 minutes would be great!

[jwilm]

My train has been sitting at the San Antonio station for 25 minutes. Maaaay be running a bit late if caltrain doesn't get moving soon (apparently there's been an incident). Will grab an Uber to Mozilla once i'm up there.

[jwilm]

Finally moving :)
