sabmocheh02:25
mdkeyou can keep working02:25
sabmocI am02:25
mdkeand then get approval next week or whenever02:25
sabmocyeah we have sooo much to do02:26
mdkecool02:26
sabmocmdke, do you know if there are any templates available for ubuntu style sites?02:26
mdkenot sure02:27
mdkei recollect the dutch one is pretty similar to the ubuntu main one02:27
mdkebut the main one is changing soon anyhow02:27
sabmocThey had a contest for the new look of the main site, is it possible that we get access to those files?02:28
mdkeerm02:28
mdkeshit02:28
sabmocor since it was a contest and canonical paid money for it, we are not aloud02:28
mdkesomeone posted a test page yesterday at the meeting02:28
mdkeyou can probably get hold of the log02:28
mdkeoh hang on02:28
mdkei'll dig mine out02:29
sabmocok02:29
mdkecheck this out02:30

mdkeyou wanna see the italian one? http://www.ubuntuitalia.org02:31
sabmocooOOoo pretty :D02:31
sabmocI seem to remember that one getting second or third place, but to be honest I think its my favorite02:32
mdkereal sexy yeah02:32
sabmocyeah02:32
sabmocI think I need to learn python02:34
=== sabmoc adds python to the list
mdkelol02:34
mdkeyou sound like a hard worker to me02:34
mdkeall that laziness talk was just show...02:35
sabmocknowledge is power, and the quest for knowledge never ends02:35
sabmocbut I love being lazy02:35
mdkehmm02:35
sabmoc:P02:35
mdkesounds like you're torn02:35
sabmocI am02:35
mdkepick one or the other dammit02:35
sabmochaha02:35
=== mdke reserves the latter
sabmocmdke, how can I get that index page?02:36
mdkeno idea02:37
mdkeyou could find the guy who posted it02:37
mdkenick: "hno73"02:37
mdkewithout quotes naturally02:37
sabmocI dont know if matthias has plone or zope on his server, but I guess we'll need it02:37
mdkehow come?02:38
sabmocmdke, we have a site now02:38
sabmocubuntu-ca.org :)02:38
mdkeok will check it02:38
sabmocdont look its ugly!02:38
sabmochaha02:38
=== mdke winces
sabmoc*shudder*02:39
mdkewhat's wrong with the normal wiki?02:39
sabmocI dont know02:39
sabmocwell, matthias is hosting the site, and he setup a wiki for us on his server. At the moment we dont have a main page.02:40
mdkeok02:40
sabmochmm.. mabye its a better idea if we just use the main wiki02:41
mdkenot sure02:41
mdkei like the idea of using the main wiki02:41
mdkewe use it for docs02:41
mdkebut mailing list for other group stuff02:42
sabmocIm asking myself; what is the advantage of hosting our own wiki?02:42
mdkehmm02:42
mdkei can't see one02:42
sabmocbut for that I first need to know what our purpose is02:42
mdkefewer hits probably too02:42
mdkesabmoc, yeah obviously english speaking groups don't need to worry about docs or translating02:43
mdkebut the ideas on that page look pretty good02:43
mdke#02:43
mdkeWe plan to hook into all of the Canadian LUGS(Linux User Groups) from coast to coast.02:43
mdke#02:43
mdkeWe will offer a wide range of local community support for Linux users.02:43
mdkesabmoc, maybe organise some promotional things02:43
sabmocyeah02:43
sabmocyeah I wrote that02:45
mdkeomg02:45
mdkehow can it be 01.45 already02:45
sabmoclol02:45
sabmocseems like I ask myself that everyday02:45
sabmocomg 3am?!?02:45
mdkei thought i just got hoe02:46
sabmocmdke, I think I will ask matthias to take down the wiki and we will continue to use the main site02:46
mdke*home02:46
mdkesabmoc, no harm leaving it up for a while until you decide02:46
sabmoctrue02:47
sm-afksabmoc, that's not a zwiki02:47
sm-afknice skin though02:47

sabmocsm, matthias set it up02:47
=== sm waves
sabmocyou guys are so helpful02:48
mdkeits a moin wiki innit?02:48
=== sabmoc renames the channel "#sabmocs_friends"
mdkeheh02:49
sabmocmdke, the only good thing about hosting our own wiki is control, we would have complete control02:50
mdkeyeah02:50
mdkegermany hosts their own iirc02:50
mdkeand probably others02:50
sabmocMatthias is team leader for LoCo-germany so he is probably hosting theirs too02:51
mdkeyou mean he is hosting your personally??!?02:51
mdke*yours/his02:51
sabmocyes, on one of his servers02:51
mdkei assumed it was ubuntu/canonical hosted02:52
mdkehow cool02:52
sabmocwell he calls it "my server" maybe he is just the admin. I dont really know.02:52
mdkesm,   can i just delete this line when converting from stx to moin: <dtml-var "'(Ce site tourne actuellement sur la version '"><dtml-var zwiki_version><dtml-var "').'"> ?02:53
