nixternalkubuntu release notes are starting to kick arse05:16
nixternalhrmm...what is the process of becoming an "author" around here?  i mean, with the release notes I have created a bunch of new stuff ;)05:17
Madpilotnixternal, stick your name in the contributor's section of whatever doc you've worked on, then.05:18
Madpilotdo enough stuff, and you'll get "Maintainer" - lucky you. 05:18
nixternalhehe05:18
nixternalim leaving jjesse as the maintainer ;)05:19
MadpilotI'm listed (along w/ mdke) as Maintainer of the Ubuntu Desktop Guide - a doc I've not even touched for this release cycle :|05:19

nixternalno thank you...i tried that once02:33
nixternali couldn't take an all BSD atmosphere02:33
jsgotangcoIPv6 is north america is a dead issue, but for us countries deprived of IP addresses, we're jumping on it02:33
jsgotangcoas well as high requirement countries like korea, japan and china02:34
jsgotangcowell its a good OS for sure but not for my laptop02:34
nixternalya, i can't wait for ipv6 to bite us in the ass, but if it doesn't make us money we don't want it...us fat lazy ass americans only want it if it will make us money..which im sure you know this already since you have lived here ;)02:35
jsgotangcoheh02:35
nixternali worked for a major ISP recently, and they didn't have 1 IPv6 device02:35
jsgotangcoyuck02:35
jsgotangcothat's not thinking forward for sure02:35
nixternalnone of their engineers could even tell you how it works02:35
jsgotangcoheh maybe they will after 10 years02:36
jsgotangcowhen it becomes the next Y2K phenom hah02:36
nixternalya right02:36
nixternalyou know what..i made a lot of my cash from Y2K..so I won't complain if IPv6 becomes the next Y2K issue here ;)02:37
jsgotangcohaha02:40
nixternali worked for a company that was greedy..they brainwashed everyone int he company with that y2k garbage02:42

nixternalim ready for that02:58
nixternalim broke seeing as I decided to do this school thing all over again, and full-time at that02:58
nixternaldouble majors stink02:58
wmatnixternal: really? at what age? I've considered going back occasionally but can't seem to justify it financially.03:00
nixternal3203:00
nixternalfunny thing is...im one of the youngest in these classes03:01
wmatreally, what are you taking?03:01
wmatand is it an adult ed thing or something?03:01
nixternalnope..full out college... finishing my MBA, and I am taking a CompSci course with an emphasis in C (++ and #) for Unix...trying to knock the rust off of my not-so-elite programming skills03:03
nixternal15 credit hours this semester03:03
wmatwow, i'm surprised the age of the students in >30 03:05
wmati'm 36 with kids and a mortgage, so it'd be difficult for me to do03:05
wmatperhaps if i win the lottery ;)03:05
nixternalya, well my plans were this..i sold my house in January, why?  i bought one in cabo san lucas mexico...oh, the owners received the down payment, burnt the house down, and double collected with insurance03:09
nixternalso i had quit my job and everything...so i said the hell with it..i have a little bit of money saved up, plus I have the GI Bill and stuff helping me out03:09

Alan__an egroupware install & config guide or another recommended groupware system05:15
Alan__with the guide assuming mail is also processed by the same server05:15
Alan__also, whilst im here, is there an index for the wiki?05:17
nixternalya there is..let me see if i remember how to get to it05:20
nixternalfor the groupware stuff, i reallyd on't know05:22
nixternali know kolab has a decent one through their site05:22
nixternalhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TitleIndex05:22
Alan__thanks for the index link05:26
Alan__it's a tough one on what to try with the groupware... do you know which one is the most feature complete?05:27
nixternali have used kolab in the past, i know the suse server is good as well..but overall i could't tell you which was best05:28
Alan__ok, i know egroupware has a lot of feature, but i think it relies on php4...is that bad?05:28
nixternalnot at all05:29
nixternalit iwll run with php5 as well05:29
nixternalcitadel is also supposed to be pretty good from what i have heard05:29
nixternalyour top 4 would probably be Kolab, SuSE OpenExchange, eGroupware, and OpenGroupware.org, not in any order 05:30
Alan__oh, great. i'll have a look. thank you.05:32
nixternalno problem05:33
