== Miguel and Aaron Seigo (draft) ==
 Miguel:: Hi, I'm Miguel de Icaza, who are you?
 Aaron:: I'm Aaron Seigo, of the KDE Project.
 Miguel:: KDE Project eh? I heard you guys are switching to Mono.
 Aaron:: Ah, no, not really.
 Miguel:: Really? Have you considered it?
 Aaron:: Yes, in fact, we actually have C# binding for Cute.
 Miguel:: I hear Mono is the ultimate platform to do all your rapid application development.
 Aaron:: Yes, listening to yourself is a great way to hear these things.
 Miguel:: I've been telling myself for months, Mono is the only way.
 Aaron:: Alright.
 Miguel:: It's true. And after that, then comes Glib, and then Gtk, and then, well, you may as well just develop ?? then.
 Aaron:: You didn't have enough of one monopoly, you had to make another here? I believe there's options in the world, you know, one thing(??) of open source is you're free to make your decisions, and if they turn out to be mistakes, then someone else who made different decisions will hopefully be successful. So if you're right, bully, and if you're not, ah well, one more way not to make a lightbulb.
 Miguel:: Certainly freedom's important, but I've coined myself a new phrase. I like the term "Freedom as in Mono".
 Aaron:: *laughs* Isn't that a kissing disease? Like, I caught that once from this girl right, like I didn't really know her, and she stuck her toungue down my throat and the next thing I know I've felt like boy, I've got no motivation.
 Miguel:: No, that's date rape.
 Aaron:: Oh. Similar. I thought it was Mono?
 Miguel:: I'd better let you get to your talk then.
 Aaron:: It was brilliant to meet you Miguel. I've looked forward to this all my life. I thought you'd be a bit more animated, you seem to have like one expression, but it works for you! It's good - don't let anybody tell you you've gotta change that. I'll give you a hug, aww, I feel the love tonight. Good luck!
 Miguel:: Cya.

Andrew and Miguel (draft)

Miguel
Hi, who are you?
Andrew
Andrew.
Miguel
Andrew, hi. Do you know who I am?
Andrew
Miguel de Icaza
Miguel
Wow, nice to know. Have you heard of Mono?
Andrew
I have.
Miguel
You have. Do you use Mono?
Andrew
Only when a program that somebody else wrote insists on using Mono
Miguel
Ohhh. You should you Mono for everything.
Andrew
No, I only use it for preparing panaroma images.
Miguel
Ahh. You see, Mono is the greatest language ever invented.
Andrew
Ahh! Well, I must have to find something else that will be better then.
Miguel
No no, because you see we're going to have a Mono-poly, it's all going to be Mono.
Andrew
The one true Mono.
Miguel
Yes, very much so.
Andrew
Right. Couldn't it be a Duo?
Miguel
No no, I think Intel's trademarked that now.
Andrew
Trio?
Miguel
No, that's Sony isn't it? No, Handspring.
Andrew
Quattro.
Miguel
Audi.
Andrew
Ah, and I don't know Italian for five, or Spanish.
Miguel
Yes.
Andrew
I can see the problem.
Miguel
Yes, it's very serious, everyone should just use Mono.
Andrew
I've run out now.
Miguel
Yeah, so have I.

Groggy and RMS (draft)

Groggy
Look Richard, I've told you a bloody million times this GPL crap is no good at all, it is a complete waste of time. You're holding the whole world to ransom with your crap, I mean, we want a real free license, like the BSD license.
RMS
Haven't you read GPL 3, it's compatible with BSD now.
Groggy
GPL 3 is even more bloody legislation than before, we want a short licence, you keep telling us that it's shorter now, ??? it's 350kb long, how the hell can any bloody idiot read that, it's like a EULA.
RMS
But the GPL 3 is my personal vision, as transcribed by Eben. I thought I'd go for stone tablets, but that's been done and I wanted to stay with the times, so it's got a Web 2.0 and AJAX system now.
Groggy
Look, Richard, you're 53 years old, it's time you started wearing glasses, no wonder your vision's flawed.
RMS
Alright, alright, personal (??) things aside, as one beard wearer to another, what are your tips for beard maintenance?
Groggy
Beard maintenance? Well, I've always found that shaving it off and selling it on eBay has been rather profitable, and so like yours, mine varies in length. Last time I met you, mine was long, yours was short, now yours is long, mine's short. These are the fluctuations of life, what can you say.
RMS
Do you have any tips on keeping food out of your beard? I tend to have chicken wings hanging off, it's a bit odd.
Groggy
Why do you want to keep it out? Wait until dinner?? time when you can boil your beard in water and have a soup.
RMS
....
Groggy
*laughs* You never were a good man with words, were you Richard?
RMS
No. So why are you at linux.conf.au if you're a BSD hacker?
Groggy
I'm trying to subvert the whole movement and show them the one true way.
RMS
Into Linux, yes, the one true way.
Groggy
Ahhh, one of these days you will understand.
