<Kilos> morning africa
<Kilos> hi ishwon  and others
<Kilos> hopefully end of this month ill have the ubuntu africa site up and running
<Kilos> the clever guys doing the building are just rather busy so its taking a while
<ishwon> That's great news Kilos. Let me know if you need some help.
<ishwon> I might be able to help with some writing :-)
<Kilos> will do ty ishwon  hows youre planning for your event going
<Kilos> can  you do bzr
<Kilos> and python 3 . im looking for someone to rewrite our python 2 bot in python 3
<Kilos> wb R0ok_
<ishwon> Hopefully I'll be meeting some folks to plan ahead for the event.
<Kilos> getting peeps together is hard work
<ishwon> I don't write that much python. Otherwise I could help with it.
<ishwon> Yeah. It takes a lot to motivate people.
<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> ill find someone that has time to rewrite it. the switch to python 3 has messed up a bot we have been using for years
<Kilos> still runs on old servers though so thats good
<ishwon> with the new syntax, i can understand.
<ishwon> did you try 2to3?
<Kilos> i think we looked at it
<ishwon> okay
<ishwon> it doesn't do the whole job but gives a good indication
<Kilos> the problem is the time
<Kilos> none of our python guys have the time to rewrite a whole bot
<Kilos> the bot was written years ago by our guys and now they have been stolen by silicon valley and dont have time to maintain it anymore
<Kilos> its in the repos
<Kilos> ibid
<Kilos> hi Padroni
<Padroni> Hi Kilos
<Kilos> hi arnaudmez
<arnaudmez> hi Kilos

<elacheche> Hey guys!
<elacheche> This may be off-topic, but maybe someone did it before â https://twitter.com/elacheche/status/580674804350603264
<Kilos> hi elacheche
<Kilos> we dont have a topic here
<Kilos> stickyboy  what you got hidden in the git place for this ^^
<elacheche> The main topic is "Ubuntu based discussions" :D
<Kilos> iptables are part of ubuntu
<Kilos> but all linux is welcome here
<Kilos> some of the lug guys are pretty clued up
<elacheche> :) Actually I'm planning to migrate from a Linux based GW server (Endian FW) to a BSD one (pfSense).. I have almost 700 rules in my iptables on efw, pfSense uses pf as firwall so I need to find a way to automate this thing :D otherwise I'll keep the weekend trying to script this ..
<Kilos> lol good luck
<elacheche> thx
<stickyboy> Kilos: Git?
<Kilos> there where you keep your stuff man , github
<stickyboy> Kilos: Yeah, what about it? I didn't get the contenxt. :D
<Kilos> https://twitter.com/elacheche/status/580674804350603264
<elacheche> stickyboy, Hello from Tunisia :D
<Kilos> hmm... too much rap has slowed him down looks like
<stickyboy> elacheche: Hi :D
<stickyboy> Man, it's hot in Nairobi.
<stickyboy> Goddddddd.
<stickyboy> elacheche: I've never used pf so I don't really know. :D
<elacheche> thanks anyway stickyboy :) :D
<inetpro> elacheche: that sounds like an interesting challenge
 * inetpro unfortunately don't have an answer to that
<inetpro> let us know when you find the solution
<elacheche> inetpro, that's for sure :) if can't find someone did this, I'll analyse and understand my iptables-save outputs (700 lines :D) and master the pf config then findout a way o script the migration..
<stickyboy> I'm all about vimdiff... but when I have X11 I prefer meld. :D
<stickyboy> inetpro: Do you know how to use vimdiff?
<inetpro> stickyboy: I like kompare actually
<stickyboy> inetpro: Ah, I'm alergic to Qt.
<stickyboy> inetpro: Do you know anything about Infiniband?
