jsgotangcoi still have an hour to spare before i do some real work12:59
Burgworknope12:59
jsgotangcohmm..01:00
jsgotangcoreading scrollback, if mdke doesn't mind ditching is profession, he'd sure make a good employee for canonical01:00
mdkethis is the difficulty01:01
mdkeI'd have to move profession, what would my new profession be?01:01
jsgotangcodoc writer?01:01
jsgotangcoheh01:01
BurgworkDocumentation Team Manager01:01
jsgotangcoJaneW just resigned just in case you didn't know01:01
mdkejsgotangco: shame about that. is she ok?01:02
jsgotangcoshe has a blog about it01:02
mdkeurl?01:02
=== jsgotangco hunts for it in his list
jsgotangcoalthough it would be expected that you do more for sure (and probably have more than 1 team role)01:03
mdkewell, I'd like to do something with locoteams. But I mean, what would my long term profession be? If I left them, what would I do01:04
jsgotangcohttp://janewsblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/so-im-leaving-not-getting-on-jet-plane.html01:05

BurgworkBill Baker, Baker Communications Group, LLC (for OpenVZ) 860-350-910001:11
jsgotangcoahh01:11
Burgworkappears to do corporate communications for several Open Source and technologies groups/companies01:12
jsgotangcowow good thing the orange text in the website got ditched01:12

jsgotangco*it was*01:13
jsgotangcoit ate 1/4 of the browser space01:13
mdkea little big maybe01:13
mdkethe same could be said of the cheesy images :)01:17
LaserJockmdke: is the help.u.c wiki going to be the community docs tab01:17
jsgotangcoyeah i love the support guy image its sooo generic01:18
jsgotangcoit fits the bill exactly for a typical call center agent here01:18
mdkeLaserJock: that's the idea yeah01:18
LaserJockk01:19

LaserJockhow's the job going?02:36
MadpilotJobs are (both) going OK. Computer isn't...02:36
LaserJockyou've got 2 jobs?02:37
Madpilotdist-upgrade to Dapper has f*cked the thing up02:37
Madpilotyeah, one part-time and one basically casual02:37
LaserJockhehe, that's why I dist-upgraded in Dec.02:37
Madpilotheh. I had a few issues going from Hoary->Breezy, but Breezy-Dapper has broken damn near everything.02:38
MadpilotNo internet, no sound, no auto-mounting of CDs - all stuff that works flawlessly before02:38
LaserJockdang02:38
LaserJockdid you use the update manager?02:38
MadpilotI'm using a Xubuntu LiveCD right now02:38
Madpilotyeah, the shiny new GUI thing02:38
Madpilotthe trouble seems to be the k7 kernel02:39
LaserJockreally02:41
LaserJockI end up just using -386 just cause I don't want to mess with it02:41
Madpilotpossibly, although Corey has very similar hardware, the k7 kernel, and has no trouble from Dapper02:41
LaserJockweird02:41
Madpilotand I ran all the Dapper Flight LiveCDs up to Beta, all with no trouble...02:42
LaserJockdouble weird02:42
Madpilotyeah.02:42
LaserJockBurgwork: you around?02:43

LaserJockBurgundavia: does everybody get a "major contact" when they register at userful.com?02:48
MadpilotBurgundavia: nope, still fucked. No sound card either, and I tried both the Dapper & Breezy kernels I've got installed02:48
BurgundaviaLaserJock: wht do you mean?02:48
BurgundaviaMadpilot: you might have to reinstall02:49
Burgundaviawe seperated your /home, no?02:49
Madpilotyes02:49

BurgundaviaLaserJock: whom?02:49
LaserJockJay Lee02:50
Burgundaviaah, yes, Jay02:50
MadpilotLaserJock: you a librarian?02:50
LaserJockI just thought it was interesting02:50
BurgundaviaMadpilot: no, just did some work for Userful02:50
LaserJockMadpilot: librarian? i worked a summer in the uni library. I'm a chemist02:51
=== Burgundavia considers buying theyearofthelinuxdesktop.com
Madpilotjust wondering, given that Userful only does library work so far02:52
LaserJockthat summer I did work at the uni library I was the technology person02:52
LaserJockMadpilot: ah, I didn't know that. I just did a little freelancing ;-)02:52

crimsunit's only cool if it has ponies!02:54
Burgundaviait might have a few02:54
jsgotangcono lots! or else my daughter would scream02:55

crimsunor if you happened across /. on april fools02:57
LaserJockI did see the /. on april fools02:57

Madpilotthanks. even with 1Gb of RAM, I'm not sure that pulling down an entire ISO is wise while I'm stuck on a LiveCD :P03:05
crimsunoh geez.03:05
crimsun POE::Knee is a homophone of "Pony".  We all like ponies. And wouldn't we03:05

BurgundaviaI am depressed04:09
LaserJockhmm, quite a few  of those are translated pages it seems04:14
Burgundaviayep04:14
LaserJockhmm, I didn't get any for "aptitude install"04:16
BurgundaviaI assume you did text?04:17
LaserJockoh heck, I accidently did title04:18
LaserJockstupid me04:18
Burgundaviayep, hence why I asked04:18
LaserJockI got 3304:18
LaserJockpersonally I'm getting sick of wiki.u.c04:20
LaserJockthere is waaaay too much stuff and much of it is crap04:21
Burgundaviayep04:21
LaserJockI guess it is better to have to much than to little, to some extent04:21
Burgundaviathere are a lot of topic to cover04:22
LaserJockI guess it is mostly the huge range of quality and randomness that gets me04:24
Madpilotthe duplication is fun too - when you realize that a single topic has three seperate & conflicting howtos...04:26
LaserJockyou really have to have teams that look after subject areas or something04:27
BurgundaviaI redirect yet another broadcom howto and the author emailed me04:27
Burgundaviahe said "uhh, where is my stuff?04:27
LaserJockand you said, "in the darkest reaches of hell"?04:27
crimsunwe really need a "zomg ponies" page.04:28
Burgundaviacrimsun: do it!04:28
crimsun"sorry, but your page has been found wanting. Please see zomgPonies instead."04:28
LaserJocklol04:28
Madpilotit would have to be "ZomgPonies" to get the wiki's CamelCase working ;)04:31
LaserJockman, XP sucks when it comes to printing04:33
Burgundaviayep04:33

Burgundaviajsgotangco: the move has not yet been done08:57
jsgotangcohmm it means we're actually moving servers?08:58
jsgotangcoor just redirecting?08:58
Burgundaviano, the content has not yet been moved08:58
jsgotangcowould be nice to have at least the page changed for now, it still has breezy docs, but it can wait i guess09:00
Burgundaviawhich page09:00
Burgundavia?09:00
jsgotangcohelp.ubuntu.com09:01
Burgundaviasorry, tired, I am not following you09:01
Burgundaviabetter speak to mdke09:01
jsgotangcoBurgundavia: http://help.ubuntu.com still shows 5.10 docs in HTML and our dapper start pages refer to it09:02
mdkejsgotangco: not much I can do, I'm afraid09:02
jsgotangcoits not a big issue, i just noticed it09:03
mdkeI don't want to put up the 6.06 docs because they have the community tab which points at the non-existent wiki09:03
jsgotangcowhy not remove the tab for now?09:03
mdkekarl should be doing the move today, then it will be sorted09:03
jsgotangcocrap idea?09:03
jsgotangcoahhh09:03
mdkejsgotangco: because that would mean rebuilding all the docs, it would take me a while09:04
jsgotangcono worries like i said, its not a big issue09:04
mdkeyou're right though, I just don't have time, and hopefully it will be sorted today09:04
bhuvanmdke: i wish to print ubuntu t.shirts and distribute it locally. should i get permission from someone to do this ?09:08
mdkeawesome09:08
jsgotangcoyou will have to ask silbs about it though09:09
mdkebhuvan: I don't think you need permission, but it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway, just in case. Also, Simira has done this before, maybe she can help with the templates09:09
jsgotangcoor marilize09:09
jsgotangcobut i don't think its really an issue09:09
jsgotangcowe printed a hundred shirts down south before09:10
bhuvanjsgotangco, cool!09:10
=== jsgotangco thinks the ubuntu-newsletter emblem is worth making a shirt
bhuvanmdke, i am looking into Arwork/Official wiki page and got a logo (UbuntuStrapLogo.eps)09:11
Madpilotjsgotangco: got a link to the -newsletter logo?09:11
=== bhuvan is just googling for the same :)
jsgotangcolook for the ubuntu-newsletter LP team09:13
jsgotangcoits really really tiny and mgalvin as the original09:13
jsgotangcobut since we now have 4 ditributions it was natural to make a frankenstein logo out of it09:13
highvoltagehehe09:14
Madpilotlooks like all four logos, one in each quarter of a circle?09:14
jsgotangcoyeah with the mouse09:15
jsgotangcodon't forget the mouse!09:15
MadpilotI'm running Xubuntu right now, I haven't forgotten the mouse :)09:16
jsgotangcoerr where is the xubuntu iso in se.releases?09:20
=== jsgotangco couldn't find it
Madpilotno idea, I'm running a Xubuntu Beta2 LiveCD - dist-upgrade to Dapper borked my main install :|09:22
Burgundaviajsgotangco: xubuntu has not been rolled yet, due to an LTSP bug09:23
jsgotangcoahhh09:23
MadpilotI thought LTSP was mostly an Edubuntu thing?09:23
Burgundaviayep, but due to asking, Xubuntu is going to have LTSP as an option on the install cd09:24
Madpilotcool09:24
Burgundaviathat was what broke09:24
Madpilotmakes sense for the older hardware a lot of schools (even in wealthy countries) have around09:24
highvoltageMadpilot: edubuntu is probably it's most relevant use atm09:24
highvoltageMadpilot: but it's important across the range, Xubuntu also now has an LTSP automated install09:25
highvoltagexubuntu has been released :)09:25
jsgotangcowhere?09:25
highvoltagejust a sec (me opens release announcement)09:25

jsgotangcothere's this small tea house that will get raided by 50+ people in brown shirts tomorrow09:27
highvoltageplease take photos/videos :)09:28
robitailleand I'm sure these 50+ people will be speaking a very strange language, with all sort of strange code words like dapper and edgy :)09:29
Madpilotjsgotangco: dress code for your event is "wear brown"? Shouldn't orange be acceptable too, for Dapper?09:29
