| pleia2 | just trying to track down MichealH, hopefully we'll begin soon :) | 20:31 |
| pleia2 | for those of you who just joined us - just trying to find our instructor, he's a bit late :) | 20:33 |
| MichealH | Sorry | 20:33 |
| MichealH | Hey all | 20:33 |
| MichealH | I just want to remind you that questions should be started with "QUESTION:" | 20:34 |
| MichealH | And that you talk in #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 20:34 |
| MichealH | Okay, So Lets learn a bit more about Ubuntu! | 20:34 |
| MichealH | Ubuntu is based off a philosophy | 20:35 |
| MichealH | It means "Peace and Humanity for others" | 20:35 |
| MichealH | Im sure you all have Maverick on your PC's right? | 20:36 |
| MichealH | So You have just brezed through your installation and you probably want to give something back. | 20:37 |
| MichealH | This is called contributing | 20:38 |
| MichealH | You dont need to know any programming to help out | 20:38 |
| MichealH | You can infact, be a total newbie at Linu to help out | 20:39 |
| MichealH | If you seek support and it is a totally new issue then It really helps us improve Ubuntu to fit your needs | 20:40 |
| MichealH | And the needs of others | 20:40 |
| MichealH | See, If you wnet and posted on the forums and marked your tread as [SOLVED] when its solved will help out thurther down the line | 20:41 |
| MichealH | When someone else has your problem | 20:41 |
| MichealH | Also, You want to test the next release for example. | 20:42 |
| MichealH | You can help by reporting problems so the Developers can fix it | 20:42 |
| MichealH | Its these little things that make a big difference | 20:43 |
| MichealH | Is everyone familiar with the concept of Ubuntu (which is open-source software) | 20:44 |
| MichealH | As many people may know, If anyone needs help there is #ubuntu | 20:45 |
| MichealH | Im in there, Almost everyone is in there! | 20:46 |
| MichealH | Were all there ready to help | 20:46 |
| MichealH | You can even help in #ubuntu if you dont know anything at all by reporting suspicious behaviour | 20:47 |
| MichealH | Its pretty clear to see that little things, as I said, DO make a Massive difference! | 20:48 |
| MichealH | Has everyone heard of a LoCo? | 20:48 |
| MichealH | A LoCo stands for Local Community area | 20:50 |
| MichealH | There are lots of freindly people you can meet from your area | 20:51 |
| MichealH | I know I have mad plenty freind in my LoCo area. | 20:51 |
| MichealH | *made | 20:51 |
| MichealH | Does anyone have any questions before we move on? | 20:52 |
| MichealH | Good. Noone has any questions. | 20:53 |
| MichealH | IRC is a vital communicational tool for us. | 20:54 |
| MichealH | You are on IRC now | 20:54 |
| MichealH | This box right infromt of you | 20:55 |
| MichealH | On IRC we attend Team Meetings and to provide support ect. | 20:55 |
| MichealH | So, Ubuntu is something we all use and enjoy using | 20:57 |
| MichealH | There is always a reason why we switched and If you want to share your story please do in #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 20:58 |
| MichealH | You will see that these vary | 20:58 |
| MichealH | < palhmbs> I switched from Windows - o/ - my 512Mb RAM just wasn't coping with all the viruses... | 20:59 |
| MichealH | That is very good | 20:59 |
| MichealH | Ubuntu Is known for being light, and fast | 21:00 |
| MichealH | And as palhmbs pointed out, Virus free! | 21:00 |
| MichealH | Ubuntu is like one big area on your computer that is secure | 21:01 |
| MichealH | Ubuntu cant run .exe's too | 21:01 |
| MichealH | BUT... | 21:01 |
| MichealH | Fpor all those gamers Ubuntu has a trick up its sleeve | 21:02 |
| MichealH | There is a program called Wine (No, You cant drink it) | 21:02 |
| MichealH | Does anyone have any questions? | 21:04 |
| MichealH | < palhmbs> QUESTION: what does WINE stand for? | 21:04 |
| MichealH | WINE stands for well... | 21:05 |
| MichealH | Good Question! | 21:05 |
| MichealH | I am acctually stuck on that one! | 21:06 |
| ClassBot | palhmbs asked: what does WINE stand for? | 21:07 |
| MichealH | That went wrong | 21:07 |
| ClassBot | palhmbs asked: is there any benefit in using WINE instead of dual-booting Windows? | 21:08 |
| MichealH | Not rebooting for sure | 21:08 |
| MichealH | Uses less reources too | 21:09 |
| MichealH | But there can be some fallbacks | 21:09 |
| MichealH | iTunes wont work | 21:09 |
| MichealH | Please rember that WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR | 21:10 |
| MichealH | (tats acctually what wine stands for) | 21:10 |
| MichealH | Moving on... | 21:10 |
| MichealH | What else do you like that Windows hasnt got? | 21:11 |
| * MichealH mutters price | 21:11 | |
| MichealH | ;) | 21:11 |
| MichealH | < pedro3005> freedom to muck around in my system | 21:12 |
| MichealH | I agree | 21:12 |
| MichealH | I enjoy 'tweaking' my install | 21:12 |
| MichealH | But I must stress NOT TO USE ROOT CARELESSLY | 21:13 |
| MichealH | I could go and say something not repeatable in here | 21:13 |
| MichealH | sudo can be dangerous | 21:13 |
| MichealH | Be very afraid. | 21:14 |
| MichealH | Fear it. | 21:14 |
| MichealH | < Omega> I'd reccomend learning python | 21:14 |
| MichealH | +1 | 21:14 |
| MichealH | Thats what you can use when you decude to become a developer | 21:14 |
| MichealH | C/C++ works too | 21:15 |
| MichealH | Anything (Except VB.NET :P) | 21:15 |
| MichealH | < shtywi> in ubuntu can i use gui | 21:15 |
| MichealH | Yes, Indeed | 21:15 |
| MichealH | Ask away If you have more questions | 21:17 |
| MichealH | Explore! | 21:17 |
| MichealH | In my Opinion, Ubuntu has alot to offer out the box than windows | 21:19 |
| MichealH | For example Im on my Windows 7 *gasp* but I need to go and download python to use it | 21:19 |
| MichealH | Ubuntu has that out the box. | 21:19 |
| MichealH | You need a file quickly... Ubuntu boots much faster than Windows | 21:20 |
| MichealH | < pedro3005> AND when you download python (on win 7) it's poorly integrated to the environment | 21:20 |
| MichealH | +1 | 21:20 |
| ClassBot | There are 10 minutes remaining in the current session. | 21:20 |
| MichealH | Anyone have any questions in the last 10 mins? | 21:21 |
| MichealH | Get asking. | 21:21 |
| MichealH | Remember to start with "QUESTION:" | 21:21 |
| ClassBot | palhmbs asked: you started late - you should go overtime a bit | 21:22 |
| MichealH | Well, I can do that if needed | 21:22 |
| ClassBot | shtywi asked: is pythone easy to deal with cause iam famlier with delphi | 21:23 |
| MichealH | Every Programming language is similar | 21:23 |
| MichealH | Its easier to learn one the more you know | 21:23 |
| MichealH | I know Quite a bit! | 21:24 |
| MichealH | It makes it easier to learn new languages | 21:24 |
| MichealH | < pedro3005> Python is an easy but powerful language | 21:24 |
| MichealH | Agreed. | 21:24 |
| ClassBot | There are 5 minutes remaining in the current session. | 21:25 |
| MichealH | Now, Just to show you how easy Ubuntu is to use let me tell you a bit about myself | 21:26 |
| MichealH | I am 13 years old (Yes, really) | 21:26 |
| MichealH | I started off using Wine when I was 10 years old | 21:27 |
| MichealH | I have used Ubuntu for almost 3 years | 21:27 |
| MichealH | Okay, Last 2 mins lets go! | 21:27 |
| MichealH | Ask any question Ubuntu related and I will try to answer | 21:27 |
| MichealH | So will all the lovley people in #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 21:28 |
| MichealH | Okay, The session is almost over :( | 21:29 |
| MichealH | Any feedback is appreciated! | 21:30 |
| ClassBot | Logs for this session will be available at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/10/22/%23ubuntu-classroom.html | 21:30 |
