[06:16] (kidding, obviously) [06:16] I've used Ubuntu since november 2004, it is the only Linux distribution I've used. Using Ubuntu inspired me to do my master's thesis on the Ubuntu community. [06:16] Thanks mako, Kamion, elmo, seb128, dholbach, sfllaw, gnomefreak (woot!) [06:16] apologies all === simira gives thumbs up for lloydinho [06:16] congrats carthik [06:17] I am an anthropology graduate student in my final year at the University of Copenhagen, and this project has led me to a lot of other initiatives in the Ubuntu community which can be seen on my wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreasLloyd [06:17] congrats carthik [06:17] carthik, /msg me if you can [06:17] oh, and congrats to carthik .. :-) [06:17] carthik, welcome :) [06:17] welcome carthik [06:17] carthik: congra [06:17] carthik: congrat [06:18] lloydinho: Was very enthousiastic on UDS.

[06:18] hey, thanks ubuntu_demon. [06:18] lloydinho: np :) [06:19] I forgot to bring any cheerleaders. [06:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu is a nice piece of work === simira cheers for lloydinho [06:19] i was JUST going to say that [06:19] lloydinho: so, i assume you've seen or have worked from the participate page [06:19] lloydinho: on the ubuntu website [06:20] heh [06:20] lloydinho: this seems like that page on steroids.. or perhaps what that should page should be [06:20] mako, I have. That was the inspiration for this ContributeDoc [06:20] which begs the question.... :) [06:20] access control on /participate is probably a mite too tight [06:20] i point people to the participate page probably 5-10 times a week === j_ack [n=rudi@p508DA3E2.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:20] but we should have that page point there [06:21] (not that it can be different really due to how www. works) [06:21] CC: let me just quickly state that Lloyd is incredibly important to documentation right now, and mdke could definitely tell you more about that. Lloyd has created a lot of cool stuff for us, including the new contribute documentation...he is a great assett to the Ubuntu community w/o a doubt! [06:21] or something [06:21] a link seems pretty reasonable, perhaps if ContributeToUbuntu moved to help.u.c [06:21] wow. thanks nixternal . [06:21] Kamion: right, that's what i'm thinking [06:21] lets not forget /mystory either [06:21] mm, what's the story on mystory? [06:21] first I'd heard of that, wondering who's behind that address [06:21] lloydinho: it might be nice to think about what we can do what the participate page [06:21] it's one of the marketing projects.. [06:22] plus he has his cool specs from the Paris Summit as well with anthro that was cool [06:22] lloydinho: maybe it should get smaller with just links to various sections in the new page [06:22] mako, we have discussed various ways of doing the participate page. [06:22] lloydinho: cool :) === guilhermee [n=guilherm@20151079020.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:22] Working with Corey, I also redid the HelpingUbuntu wiki page [06:23] anyway; +1 for contribute page, testimonial from docteam, and it seems like a good thing to bring anthropologists into the communities they're studying on general principles :) [06:23] lloydinho: cool, i'd love to see something happen with it.. let me know and i'm happy to help you with www [06:23] We couldn't really decide whether it would be best to have a short or extended version. === mako nods to Kamion [06:23] i'm happy to have you on board and i'm thrilled that you haven't done the whole detached outsider thing [06:23] Kamion, :-) [06:23] mako, that would have been boring :-) [06:23] HelpingUbuntu seems substantially duplicated from ContributeToUbuntu [06:23] ack [06:23] congrats lloydinho [06:23] sweet!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! lloydinho ;) [06:24] of course, you find that making meaningful contributions makes it alot easier to have the community open up to you :) [06:24] congrats lloydinho [06:24] mako, that's what I've found, certainly. [06:24] although it wasn't lloydinho's, I like the idea of EasyWaysToHelpUbuntu [06:24] lloydinho, word! [06:24] congrats lloydinho [06:24] thanks all! [06:24] oh, who's driving launchpad today? [06:24] Congrats lloydinho [06:24] moving on.. Vidya Ayer [06:24] oh yeah, mdke sent a testimonial for lloydinho too [06:24] Hi All [06:24] lloydinho Congrats! :D [06:24] I am Vidya Ayer from India. My wiki page is, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Svaksha [06:25] for the record: [06:25] "Has contributed extremely well to the documentation team with ideas and also quite a lot of action. Again he is great to work with because of a really positive and constructive attitude. I've also seen him contribute positively to the marketing team, again providing concrete and constructive contributions." === soumyadip [n=soumyadi@59.93.200.8] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Run] [06:25] I'll do launchpad [06:25] Kamion: i dont think LP has updated in the past few days (not sure if its everything on LP) === svaksha waits for go ahead [06:25] mdke says of svaksha: [06:25] lloydinho: congrats... and thanks for your great work on documentation [06:25] "very good to work with, have come across her contributions to ubuntu-women and translation. She has recently joined the fridge team and will be an asset for us." [06:25] gnomefreak: I mean membership approvals [06:25] oh [06:25] svaksha: go ahead [06:25] Currently admin 2 lists at Linuxchix, co-wrote a Sanskrit locale with Christian Perrier (Debian) and editor at DMOZ. Having used all releases since Warty, I lurked awhile in Q1'05 and later joined the Bugsquad [https://launchpad.net/people/svaksha/+karma] , Ubuntu-Women, Marketing, Fridge, and translation teams. [06:25] Ubuntu-Women is doing well with many women (and men) contributing in the community, upstream and relevant Foss arenas. Have contributed articles to Fridge nd UWN. Plan to keep the Fridge cool and well stocked with community news, events, advocacy, articles, and other sound bytes flowing in, and think it would also be advantageous to synchronise news with grass-roots marketing in the Ubuntu community. [06:26] Time-permitting, hope to pitch in with tasks useful to the Motu's - packaging, testing, other technical details about Ubuntu, its relation with Debian and how they work in tandem. Have never missed an opportunity to advocate and spread the Ubuntu cheer (CD's), Ubuntu books, and my Ubuntu converts' list is aplenty with most folks giving positive feedback (almost always :-)) during follow-ups. /End. [06:26] right, I have a meeting about the joys of CRM, later all [06:26] thanks mdke [06:26] svaksha's wiki page looks pretty solid to me, but I need to nip out for a moment before chasing up references; BRB [06:27] lloydinho: congrats [06:27] lloydinho: you don't appear to be trying to be in ubuntu-members in launchpad? [06:28] heh, must have been caught up in the Ubuntu excitement ;) [06:29] svaksha: what is your current involvement with the IN loco? [06:30] not involved currently [06:30] is there a particular reason? [06:30] currently , time constraints [06:30] elmo, I just added myself this moment [06:30] i'm just kind of curious because it sounds like you had a hand setting it up [06:31] back [06:31] lloydinho: approved [06:31] yes, but its being run equally well by others === mako nods to svaksha [06:31] that's a good reason :) [06:32] :) [06:33] ack for svaksha from me [06:33] alright, i'm happy with svaksha as well [06:33] thanks mako, elmo === gora [n=gora@125.23.62.109] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Au] === nixternal pokes svaksha, tell them about the fridge ;) [06:34] yup, been following up references, and +1 from me - looks pretty impressive [06:34] is Alberto Milone around? [06:34] here I am [06:34] i did nixternal [06:34] congrats svaksha [06:34] can I begin? [06:34] tseliot: ah, you're alberto milone [06:34] congrats svaksha [06:34] tseliot: yes, go ahead [06:34] congrats svaksha [06:34] thanks all [06:34] My name is Alberto Milone and here is my profile on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/people/albertomilone [06:34] My profile on the Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tseliot [06:34] My Experience and Involvement with Ubuntu [06:34] I have used Ubuntu since April 2005 when I tried it, loved it, left Windows and never looked back. One of the reasons for which I like Ubuntu is its forum, where I learnt most of the things that I know (thanks to all the people who were so kind to help me). I decided to pay back all the people who helped me by helping new (unexperienced) users, which all my guides [06:35] are thought for. As a matter of fact I try explaining as many things as possible when I write my guides so that anyone can follow them, even when dealing with topics such as the recompilation of the kernel. [06:35] Then I joined the Archival team on ubuntuforums.org and therefore worked on the documentation on the UDSF. [06:35] I have recently become a Moderator on the Ubuntu Forums (ubuntuforums.org) [06:35] Here is my profile on ubuntuforums.org: [06:35] http://www.ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=19388 [06:35] I am particularly interested in writing guides and providing support for the installation of Nvidia's proprietary drivers and for the resolution of problems with the Xserver in general (but not only). [06:35] svaksha: did you try to joint he members team? [06:35] A partial list of the guides I wrote can be found here: [06:35] http://www.albertomilone.eu/europeo/guides.html [06:35] OR in my profile on the Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tseliot [06:36] tseliot has been very valuable to the forum staff. He's also helping a lot of people with video issues. [06:36] My Projects: [06:36] 1) My Envy script [06:36] Users very often need the latest Nvidia driver (which is usually available as an installer and not as a deb package). Being aware of all the lenght (and difficulty) of the procedures which installing the Nvidia driver from the installer implies I decided to make the process a bit easier for beginners (in addition to my guide about it). [06:36] mako: no , will apply tomorrow [06:36] I started a new project, which I named Envy (the Italian for Envy is "invidia"). It is a script (written in Python and packaged as a .deb file) which automates the installation of the latest Nvidia proprietary driver on Ubuntu (both Breezy and Dapper are supported). It installs all the packages needed to compile the driver and removes the restricted modules. It also offers the possibility to automatically configure the Xserve [06:36] You can find it on my homepage: [06:36] http://www.albertomilone.eu/europeo/nvidia_scripts1.html [06:36] and on launchpad: [06:36] https://launchpad.net/projects/envy === svaksha is not well today [06:36] 2) Promoting Edubuntu at the University of Lecce (Italy) [06:36] Another project of mine is that of promoting Edubuntu at the University of Lecce. According to my plans part of my thesis (for my 2nd level degree) will be about Edubuntu and the study (and teaching) of foreign languages. [06:36] My Suggestions for improving Ubuntu: [06:36] I have proposed the following spec for Edgy Eft: [06:36] On Launchpad: [06:36] https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/xserver-failover [06:36] A detailed explanation on the Wiki: [06:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XserverFailover [06:36] I have also asked the opinion of the members of Ubuntuforums.org: [06:36] http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201128 [06:37] and he was incredibly helpful today with confused users trying to figure out what happened when they updated X and it broke...tseliot posted a great and simple way to downgrade until the fix began populating te repos [06:37] tseliot: alright, that's a bit more than a three line introduction === nixternal has never chatted with tseliot, and really don't know him...but his "howtos" in the ubuntu forums are excellent to say the least! i use them quite a bit...also applied some of his howto's to various wiki docs as well concerning binary drivers [06:37] :) [06:37] on the forums [06:37] svaksha sorry to hear that... congrats and get some rest ;) [06:37] Sorry mako [06:37] it's my character [06:37] ;) [06:37] tseliot: from the sound of things, envy will break on any system upgrade, if it relies on having the restricted modules removed [06:37] +1 for tseliot [06:38] :) [06:38] Kamion: yes [06:38] we are normally happy to incorporate new versions of the nvidia module into dapper-updates if asked [06:38] infinity is the contact person for that [06:38] really? [06:38] I would be glad to help [06:38] I didn't know that drivers could be updated [06:39] where can I find infinity? [06:39] on launchpad? [06:39] it depends on the changes, but if they're targeted bug fixes, then it's possible [06:39] adconrad on launchpad, infinity ere on IRC [06:39] here [06:39] well, the new drivers add the support for new cards [06:39] tseliot, we should join forces -- I do a similar thing for ati === svaksha [n=svaksha@unaffiliated/svaksha] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] [06:40] sure [06:40] i confirm that tseliot is one the great support provider on ubuntuforums, he helps a lot of users each day and contributes to the UDSF project [06:40] I was thinking of plugging in an ATI card too tonight [06:40] he's one of the great guys of the forum === mr3vil [n=mr-evil@p50815F3B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:40] I'm really interested in this project [06:41] talk to rodarvus about the xserver-failover stuff [06:41] tseliot: there are other ways of providing updated drivers in packages that will allow for upgrades === bit_doidao [n=duda@unaffiliated/bitdoidao/x-000001] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:41] we already offer the safe-mode thing in gfxboot for the live CD, but it's not ideal [06:41] I just noticed the spec and subscribed to it [06:41] mako:I didn't know that [06:41] tseliot, Kamion: thanks [06:41] having X do it itself would be better - we didn't have time before dapper though [06:41] Kamion: but the failover should work on the installed ubuntu as well [06:42] tseliot: indeed - as I say doing it in the bootloader is obviously not ideal [06:42] tseliot helps lots of users on the forums and he's really valuable to the forum staff. So +1 ;) [06:42] tseliot: even if folks have to build their own drivers, they can build them as package [06:42] mako: this is true for ati drivers [06:43] mako: is it true for the nvidia driver as well? [06:43] and without recompiling all the restricted modules? [06:43] (maybe we're diverging a bit too far from the purpose of this meeting...) [06:44] and without removing nvidia kernel common which would cause a driver mismatch? [06:44] tseliot: yes, we, or others, can talk afterward [06:44] Sorry Seveas [06:44] Ok [06:44] tseliot: basically, while i suspect that there are better ways of doing some of those particular things [06:45] i'm happy to approve you just on support and forums activity alone [06:45] Thanks :-D [06:45] mako : great [06:45] i think i've seen you post in basically every thread i've ever gone to in the forums :) [06:45] yeah, ack [06:45] mako: LOL [06:45] congrats tseliot === nalioth [i=nalioth@freenode/staff/ubuntu.member.nalioth] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:46] with regard to the kernel compilation guide, /usr/src/linux is explicitly disrecommended by Linus these days - I'd suggest just using the user's home directory [06:46] thanks === Huahua [n=hua_@122.0.231.48] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:46] congrats tseliot [06:46] Kamion: I know we should use fakeroot [06:46] I'll change that [06:46] AndreNoel: thanks [06:46] anyway, yeah, I'm with mako on this - I do think you should be more forthright about contacting developers with problems rather than working around them sometimes, but what you've done seems pretty good [06:46] so I'm happy for membership [06:47] excuse me, I have to go and be human pack horse, brb [06:47] well, as well as working around them, depending :) [06:47] Kamion: I'd be glad to work with them [06:47] congrats tseliot [06:47] instead of working around them [06:47] frodon: thanks :-) [06:47] congrats, tseliot [06:47] tseliot: congrats :) [06:47] matthew5: thanks and good luck [06:48] tseliot: yeah, the general takeaway is that you should probably contact the maintainer responsible for every issue you've written scripts to work around because in some situations you'll find that there's an easier solution and in others you'll find that it's a bug or something that can be fixed in the package itself :) [06:48] ubuntu_demon: thanks. [06:48] mako: ok, I'll do that [06:48] AndreNoel: you are up [06:48] I just didn't dare bothering them [06:48] alright [06:48] My name is Andre Noel, born and living in Brazil. Graduated from Maringa State University in Computer Science in 2005. Married since 2005. [06:48] Been involved with Open Source since 2002, and more especifically with the Brazilian community since May 2006, thanks to incentive from OgMaciel. Started as a translator for the Brazilian Team and recently being appointed as one of the administrators of the team. [06:49] I'm one of the administrators of Ubuntu Brazilian Portuguese Translators Team and I wanna help this team to grow in quantity an quality. To help in the use (and reuse) of rosetta, and in news improvements to it. [06:49]
