Being the IWETHEYer who gets around.... Met Ashton for lunch Wednesday while up in the North Bay. That brings my contact list to about 18 19 (hey, does that mean I'm legal)? Actually, it's been a good week -- also met Dilan "Inoshiro" Griffiths from Kuro5hin, travelling through SFO on vacation, and our own inimitable Rick Moen as part of the BAD (Bay Area Debian) meeting I'd coopted to within crawling distance of my apartment.
Putting the tally down, time ordered: Rick Moen, Ben Tilly, Nick P., Maggie, Tony, Rusty, Jay O'Conner, Wade, Meerkat, Mike "Yendor", Dreck, Malraux, Jack, Bill P, Boxley, Jimmy, Imric, and Ashton. Time for a European trip, methinks....
Edit: Jay. Doh! I got him hired.....

Your list is incomplete
Jay O'Connor aka Feerless Freep belongs on there.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Andrew Grygus does as well.
By contrast my list, ordered by time, is Barry, Karsten, Nick, Bill P, Jim, Dhyana Wood, Tony, Rusty, and Imric. Apparently I don't get around as much...
Cheers,
Ben
PS I don't even want to think on how many more I am probably missing...

Hey you forgot me
I can still remember meeting you, your wife, Karsten, Nick P, Rusty, etc at LWE San Jose.
I'm still hoping to meet Maggie sometime.... maybe the Bay Area locals can try LWE San Jose again?

D'oh
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Ditto also on not having met Maggie despite having set up plans more than once to do just that. (OK, so one time jr was responsible, I think the other she just chickened out...)
Cheers,
Ben

That was a reference to "pretty in pink"?
BTW there is a LinuxWorld in NYC before the one in the Bay area...

So are you going to get the Slugbugs free travel?
Since NYC is just a bit farther away than San Jose.

nope, nope, nope...
I wish jr and I could hit NYC for LWE, but I'm in the middle
of starting a new venture and she has a heavy course load
right now. When is LWE in the Bay area? June? The
Slugbugs will shoot for LWE in the Bay area. NYC may be
latter 2002 if all goes well with my biz.
No rest for the wicked, I'm afraid.

August 12-15, 2002 at Moscone Center
according to [link|http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/news/events/index.shtml|this]
But, hey, you should expand your horizons and go to some of the other trade shows in the Bay Area such as:
Photonics West (late January)
Embedded Systems Conference (lots of Linux there, in March at Moscone)
Semicon (July, Moscone and SJCC; last year one company was giving away scooters)
Sensors Expo
Work allowing, I'll be going to several of these shows, Expo only.
Good luck with your new venture -- and eventually we'll meet F2F.

I forgot about some of the other conferences. The embedded
systems conference is usually good.....hmmm.

Hmmm....Lessee....
Boxley, The Spice Man cometh, Karsten, and our newest member, Peanut. I think that's it.
And amazingly, I've known both jlalexander and Scott (adminScott, not AnotherScott) since before the first IWE existed, even, and I haven't met 'em yet.

Free on the 27th?
I'll be in Bellevue (car-less) between Xmas and New Years'. How 'bout Jake O'Shaughnessey's in BelSquare on Thursday night (the 27th)? I could do any night between Wednesday and Sunday, I think. Calling Brandioch, too!
We can swap CS stories at least, thane. :)

I'll see.
We're getting back from Arizona (gotta go visit the Grandparents for a week - no internet!) on the 26th, so I'm not sure, but I'll look at my schedule and post back!
Coolness! First IRL IWETHEY meet for me!

Just getting his attention.
Was I supposed to remove the a-? Or is that a kudo to my clan? ;)

a- is required.
The a- in front of an e-mail name indicates "this guy is a contractor."

well this is sad
I live in San Jose and this year I've been to Boston, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Rochester, San Francisco, Tel-Aviv, and Vancouver. I've met precisely zero IWETHEYers. I think I should make a New Year's Resolution to get out of my cube more....
Have fun,

BALE, dude.
If you want to find at least two of the locals, you can turn to [link|http://www.linuxmafia.com/bale/|BALE] and pick a few events. I'm typically at SVLUG and BALUG meetings, also a few other events around the area, though by no means all of 'em. There's rarely a day without some sort of meeting or event, and many with several.
Up and coming: [link|http://www.balug.org/|BALUG] (San Francisco) on Tuesday, CABAL meeting at Rick's house Saturday. [link|http://www.svlug.org/|SVLUG's] next meeting (at the Cisco campus in San Jose) is Wednesday, January 2, 2002.
