[07:52] *** hverkuil has left 
[08:20] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v hverkuil
[12:01] <hverkuil> Do we have a meeting or is it postponed?
[12:03] <mkrufky> i believe its postponed
[12:04] <syoung> postposted to when?
[12:04] <mkrufky> mauro said he wouldnt be around this week, and i cant stick around for long either
[12:04] <pinchartl> I thought we had a meeting :-)
[12:04] <pinchartl> but I'm fine postponing
[12:04] <mkrufky> maybe im wrong then?
[12:04] <mkrufky> dont let my possible misinformation shape the future truth
[12:04] <mkrufky> :-)
[12:04] <hverkuil> I knew Mauro is traveling.
[12:05] <mkrufky> i was just looking at this "matchmaking" bit on the open source europe "app"
[12:05] <mkrufky> this is amusing
[12:05] <hverkuil> I don't have anything either, although I have this feeling that there was something I wanted to ask, but I've forgotten what it was.
[12:05] <pinchartl> hverkuil: sounds like we'll have a very productive meeting :-)
[12:06] <mkrufky> i am flying in tomorrow, ill land on saturday morning
[12:06] <mkrufky> thats my news
[12:06] <hverkuil> Any dinner plans for Sunday?
[12:06] <pinchartl> mkrufky: at what time will you land again ?
[12:06] <pinchartl> I have no dinner plan for Sunday yet
[12:06] <pinchartl> Niklas will want to join
[12:06] <pinchartl> I think Magnus will too, and probably another Renesas developer
[12:06] <pinchartl> and Sakari
[12:06] <mkrufky> my plane lands 11:55am CEST
[12:06] <pinchartl> we might need a big table...
[12:07] <pinchartl> (on the plus side, Czeck republic banned smoking in restaurants in May this year \o/)
[12:07] <hverkuil> I have a former colleague who's likely to join as well. I should be in the hotel around 6pm.
[12:07] <mkrufky> brad will be there too
[12:07] <mkrufky> brad love
[12:07] <pinchartl> mkrufky: I'll land one hour earlier. I'm afraid I might not want to wait for you :-)
[12:07] <pinchartl> but we could meet in the afternoon, or for dinner
[12:07] <mkrufky> we're all at the hilton, right?
[12:08] <hverkuil> Not my ex-colleague, but she's supposed to be in a hotel close by.
[12:08] <hverkuil> so using the hotel lobby as a meeting point makes sense.
[12:09] <mkrufky> if we're all at hilton, it should be relatively easy to find each other right away.   as usual i wont have a phone number until i buy my sim.   i might be able to receive text messages using my google voice number when i get to wifi
[12:09] <mkrufky> ah yes --- lobby
[12:09] <mkrufky> :-)
[12:10] <pinchartl> I'm not at the Hilton either
[12:10] <pinchartl> I've rented an apartment through airbnb in the city centre
[12:10] <sailus> Hello!
[12:10] <pinchartl> ~15 minutes away from the Hilton by public transportation
[12:11] <sailus> I'll be there for almost the whole Sunday.
[12:11] <sailus> pinchartl: Czechia.
[12:12] <hverkuil> How about we meet up at 19:00 in the Hilton lobby?
[12:12] <mkrufky> on sunday?
[12:12] <hverkuil> yes
[12:12] <pinchartl> hverkuil: if there's a large group of people it would make sense to decide on a place (and possibly even book one)
[12:12] <sailus> 19:00 sounds good to me.
[12:12] <pinchartl> in which case, if it's around the city centre, I'd prefer joining you there instead of going to the Hilton and back
[12:13] <mkrufky> wow we're not even there yet and our group is already big enough that we need to book it in advance, LOL
[12:13] <hverkuil> Ricardo and/or Mauro might want to join as well.
[12:13] <sailus> It's not a tourist season but it'd still be nicer to find a place which isn't entirely for tourists. That'll be harder in the centre.
[12:14] <mkrufky> conf will likely take us to those tourist spots anyway
[12:14] <mkrufky> im hoping we go to that same place on the charles bridge that we did six years ago
[12:15] <sailus> The Parliament (or however it was spelled) wasn't too bad.
[12:15] <sailus> It's a bit south though.
[12:16] <hverkuil> One (easy) option is the restaurant in the Hilton: http://www3.hilton.com/resources/media/hi/PRGHITW/en_US/pdf/en_PRGHITW_CzecHouse_Main_Menu_Oct2017.pdf
[12:16] <hverkuil> It gets pretty good reviews too.
[12:16] <hverkuil> not cheap though.
[12:17] <sailus> hverkuil: Are you serious? :-)
[12:18] <sailus> http://www.vinohradskyparlament.cz/
[12:18] <hverkuil> I never understood the idea that the further away a restaurant is from your current position, it will be better as well.
[12:18] <sailus> ^ They have proper Bohemian dishes.
[12:19] <sailus> I'm totally fine with somewhere close to the hotel though.
[12:19] <mkrufky> i have to get to the office .....   ill see you guys in a few days
[12:20] <sailus> There quite a few nice restaurants in that area btw. --- and the locals frequent them, not so much the tourists.
[12:20] <hverkuil> vinohradskyparlament looks good too. "mushroom specialties": I love mushrooms.
[12:21] <hverkuil> a lot cheaper too :-)
[12:25] <hverkuil> So a quick count give me 9. Assuming Ricardo and/or Mauro will join we'll have up to 11.
[12:26] <pinchartl> let's count
[12:26] <pinchartl> Hans, Sakari, Mike, Laurent, Brad, Niklas, Magnus, Morimoto-san, Hans' colleague
[12:26] <pinchartl> that's 9
[12:27] <pinchartl> please make sure you can easily modify the reservation though, I don't know if Magnus and Morimoto-san will join
[12:27] <pinchartl> or, for that matter, if I could be dragued against my well to a business meeting-dinner with them
[12:27] <sailus> pinchartl: I guess it generally doesn't hurt if one or two people from such a large group don't show up. It's usually more of a problem the other way.
[12:28] <sailus> It's still better to know as precisely as possible, I think.
[12:32] <sailus> This one isn't too bad either, and closer to the centre:
[12:32] <sailus> http://www.restaurace-mlejnice.cz/
[12:32] <sailus> Not too much closer to Hilton though.
[12:32] <pinchartl> which one ?
[12:33] <sailus> http://www.restaurace-mlejnice.cz/
[12:33] <pinchartl> Kozná or Zatecká ?
[12:34] <pinchartl> (what is the compose key stroke to write the inverted ^ ?)
[12:34] <sailus> pinchartl: Good question.
[12:35] <sailus> Zatecka.
[12:37] <pinchartl> ž
[12:37] <pinchartl> \o/
[12:37] <pinchartl> compose + v + z
[12:37] <pinchartl> Žatecká
[12:37] <sailus> Wohoo!!
[12:38] <pinchartl> the first item in the menu is cabbage soup with red pepper sausage
[12:38] <sailus> Is that a good thing?
[12:38] <pinchartl> it's a bohemian restaurant for sure :-)
[12:38] <sailus> Would you go to an Unbohemian restaurant?
[12:45] <sailus> Are there other proposals for the restaurant?
[12:46] <hverkuil> Given a choice I'd probably go with the parlement restaurant.
[12:46] <hverkuil> (menu wise)
[12:48] <sailus> If everyone is fine with that and there are no other proposals, we should proceed with booking the table. Assuming we have a rough idea of how many we are.
[12:50] <sailus> They seem to even have vegetarian options.
[12:50] <sailus> In not only in desserts. :-)
[12:50] <hverkuil> sailus: can you mail Ricardo & Mauro? See if they want/can join?
[12:50] <sailus> Sure.
[12:51] <hverkuil> then make a reservation tomorrow, I think.
[12:51] <sailus> pinchartl: Can you check with Morimoto-san and Damm-san?
[12:51] <sailus> Or should I ask them as well?
[12:52] <hverkuil> Meet in the Hilton lobby (for those who stay there or are close by) at 19:00? We should be at the restaurant around 19:30 by subway.
[12:52] <hverkuil> or is that too late/early?
[12:52] <sailus> Sounds good to me.
[12:53] <hverkuil> Her name is Jiqing :-)
[12:54] <pinchartl> sailus: could you ask them ? it's easier without a middleman
[12:54] <pinchartl> magnus.damm@gmail.com
[12:54] <hverkuil> Sorry, my ex-colleague's name is Jiqing.
[12:54] <pinchartl> Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>
[12:54] <pinchartl> (you can call him Morimoto-san)
[12:55] <hverkuil> I'll let her know to meet in the lobby at 19:00.
[12:58] <sailus> Just as Damm-san?
[13:15] <sailus> pinchartl: On Finnish keymap, Ž can be produced with ISO_Level3_Shift-' + Z.
[13:16] <pinchartl> oh
[13:16] <pinchartl> on my keyboard too
[13:16] <pinchartl> ž
[13:16] <pinchartl> that's even easier
[13:16] <pinchartl> Ç’
[13:16] <pinchartl> Ç’
[13:16] <pinchartl> ŏǒ
[13:16] <pinchartl> interesting
[13:16] <pinchartl> ISO_Level3_Shift-' and ISO_Level3_Shift-` seem to produce the same result
