| beuno | hey there | 04:00 |
| rjian | also cody is here | 04:00 |
| rjian | hehe | 04:00 |
| beuno | hehe, you ratted him out | 04:00 |
| === somerville32 hides. | ||
| rjian | hahahaha | 04:00 |
| beuno | actually, Cody might be the right person to run this by | 04:01 |
| beuno | I have an idea | 04:01 |
| beuno | that is marketing related, but not exclusivly | 04:02 |
| === somerville32 nods. | ||
| beuno | "Ubuntu Live" | 04:02 |
| beuno | a page where you can go and see all the activity currently going on in ubuntu | 04:02 |
| beuno | live | 04:02 |
| somerville32 | How would we get the info? | 04:03 |
| beuno | mailing lists, launchpad activity, forums, maybe IRC | 04:03 |
| beuno | well | 04:03 |
| beuno | we're going to need some help from every area | 04:03 |
| rjian | hehe | 04:03 |
| somerville32 | How will the information being aggregated? | 04:03 |
| somerville32 | *be | 04:03 |
| beuno | well | 04:04 |
| beuno | I'm thinking ajax frontend | 04:04 |
| beuno | and plugins for each type of information | 04:04 |
| beuno | it doesn't have to be terribly detailed | 04:04 |
| beuno | just somewhere you can actually see that Ubuntu is constantly moving | 04:04 |
| beuno | RSS will probably be a great way to start | 04:05 |
| beuno | and maybe talk to some launchpad devs | 04:05 |
| beuno | and see if they can provide some sort of API | 04:05 |
| beuno | so ppl can see translations flying through the screen | 04:05 |
| beuno | bug reports | 04:05 |
| beuno | bug fixes | 04:05 |
| beuno | I'm going to write a spec for it | 04:06 |
| beuno | just wanted some feedback | 04:06 |
| beuno | maybe it's interesting just to me, and not worth the effort | 04:06 |
| beuno | obviously the more we show, the more interesting | 04:07 |
| beuno | and maybe, just maybe | 04:08 |
| beuno | build an API that can be used elsewhere | 04:08 |
| beuno | so when you login into the forums | 04:08 |
| beuno | you would get a "44 bugs where fixed since your last visit" | 04:08 |
| beuno | ;D | 04:08 |
| === rjian can anyone suggest what will i write today.???? | ||
| rikai | beuno, ahh, a feed push as bug reports come in or something that causes a(gaim-im-style) scroll effect up the little 'bug reports' box(jsut anexample)? | 04:09 |
| beuno | rikai: yeap! | 04:09 |
| beuno | something like: http://www.digg.com/spy | 04:09 |
| beuno | but with more stuff on screen | 04:09 |
| beuno | numbers counting up and down | 04:10 |
| rikai | Yeah, thats exactly where i got that idea from... i had just forgotten digg gave it to me. :D | 04:10 |
| beuno | jenda? | 04:10 |
| beuno | he's probably sleeping at this point | 04:11 |

| tonyyarusso | nixternal: ping | 07:05 |
| nixternal | yo yo | 07:06 |
| tonyyarusso | nixternal: So I see you use Wordpress. Wanna tell me about it? | 07:08 |
| nixternal | what do you want to know? | 07:08 |
| nixternal | and how did you see that so quick? | 07:09 |
| nixternal | i must have finished that post right before the cron job ran | 07:09 |
| nixternal | hands down I think Wordpress is the best blogging solution there is. Very easy to configure and run, plus you can tweak it to your hearts desire | 07:10 |
| tonyyarusso | nixternal: I'm omniscient. Anyway, I'm looking to switch away from Xanga, so I'm taking in all kinds of information, including good plugins, themes, hosts, usage info, whatever. | 07:10 |
| nixternal | ooh, Wordpress has so many plugins you would lose your mind looking at all of them | 07:10 |
| === Rinchen notices that nixternal DID lose his mind looking at them. | ||
| nixternal | Themes: http://themes.wordpress.net/ | 07:11 |
| nixternal | Plugins: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins | 07:11 |
| nixternal | oh, i looked through a ton of them | 07:11 |
| tonyyarusso | nixternal: Do you have recommendations though? | 07:11 |
| nixternal | but one of my buds started up a blog with that theme and i liked it | 07:11 |
| nixternal | i dont' use any plugins anymore. themes are of course personal flavor. plugins i have used were category images which were cool with the old blog | 07:12 |
| === rjian_ is now known as rjian | ||
| nixternal | does all of your autopings to various sites (i.e., technorati, google, or other blog agreators) | 07:13 |
| nixternal | you can goto wordpress.com and setup a blog to play with the themse stuff and the oeprations | 07:13 |
| tonyyarusso | Yeah, wordpress.com won't let me use any plugins though, and I want to have options for restricting posts | 07:13 |
| nixternal | it handles all of the spam stuff | 07:13 |
| nixternal | restricting what kind of posts? | 07:14 |
| nixternal | you can set it up to where you have to approve comments | 07:14 |
| nixternal | Akismet does all of the spam blocking, and I have never had an issue with spam | 07:14 |
| tonyyarusso | Like, things I want just my friends to read, or particular groups of friends, which happens on occasion, but not a lot. | 07:14 |
| nixternal | ahhh | 07:14 |
| nixternal | that i don't know about really. you would have to go through and check all of the plugins available | 07:15 |
| nixternal | i think you can create posts that only certain people can view, but once again i am not 100% positive | 07:15 |
| tonyyarusso | I've found some plugins that look promising, but I'd need my own host to use them. | 07:15 |
| nixternal | yes, or have a server that you have ssh access to | 07:16 |
| nixternal | you can password protect a post | 07:16 |
| nixternal | i see the option when i goto write a new post | 07:16 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, I have my own server box, but a) it's having hardware issues atm, and b) I don't know what connection I will have available for it in the summer | 07:16 |
| tonyyarusso | password protect would require me to e-mail the password to everyone I wanted to read it each time, and at that point I might as well just e-mail the post | 07:17 |
| nixternal | i just use Dreamhost. it cost me $22 for an entire year of hosting using a promotional code | 07:17 |
| nixternal | well, use one password and let everyone know the password | 07:17 |
| tonyyarusso | How'd you get the promo? | 07:18 |
| nixternal | mdke. but i can create one for you so you can get the same deal | 07:18 |
| nixternal | pay with a credit card and within an hour you will have your stuff up and running | 07:19 |
| tonyyarusso | That might be cool. I'm still looking at the list of hosting options. How do you like them? | 07:19 |
| tonyyarusso | Can you get a domain with that too? | 07:19 |
| nixternal | i haven't had any major issues. i had a small issue using paypal with them, but that got fixed quick | 07:19 |
| nixternal | there was a quirk with my jabber account password using special characters that it didn't like | 07:19 |
| nixternal | but they fixed that quick as well | 07:19 |
| nixternal | yes you get 1 domain with that, but can get additional domains and have a ton of subdomains available as well | 07:20 |
| nixternal | 1-click installs is the cake | 07:20 |
| tonyyarusso | 1-click installs? | 07:20 |
| nixternal | you setup a domain, then goto the goodies section and select like Wordpress, WikiMedia, Joomla and more and it installs it automatically pretty much instantnly for you | 07:20 |
| tonyyarusso | oo | 07:21 |
| tonyyarusso | cool | 07:21 |
| nixternal | create as many mysql dbs as you need | 07:21 |
| nixternal | i did a subdomain for blog. wiki. gallery. beta. and what not, but since deleted them | 07:21 |
| nixternal | plus you get full ssh access to your stuff | 07:21 |
| nixternal | svn if you want to do it | 07:21 |
| nixternal | all kinds of crazy stuff | 07:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Other good-sounding hosts people have mentioned were bluehost and shieldhost - know anything about them? | 07:23 |
| nixternal | bluehost has been rated #1 by many | 07:23 |
| nixternal | never heard of shieldhost | 07:23 |
| nixternal | at the same time with all of the good i have heard of dreamhost, there is also a lot of bad i have heard as well, but haven't ran into anyone yet around here with issues | 07:23 |
| nixternal | but that goes with any host | 07:24 |
| tonyyarusso | what sorts of bad? | 07:24 |
| nixternal | if 1 person has an issue, it doesn't take much for them to become poisonous effecting many others | 07:24 |
| tonyyarusso | (Just to get an idea) | 07:24 |
| nixternal | www.dreamhost-sucks.com | 07:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Any idea why bluehost is rated above it? | 07:24 |
| tonyyarusso | heh | 07:24 |
| nixternal | none at all, but with any host there is always a possibility of an issue | 07:25 |
| tonyyarusso | And this promo - is it a one-year deal and after that you pay the $96, or is it long-term? | 07:25 |
| nixternal | one-year deal | 07:25 |
| nixternal | here is the thing though | 07:25 |
| nixternal | you can create promos and hand them out, and if you hand out enough, only a few, it will eventually make your next year free | 07:26 |
| nixternal | there are a bunch of different promos you can create | 07:26 |
| nixternal | you can set it up to where you get like 10% and up of what a person who uses your promo spends with dreamhost | 07:26 |
| nixternal | and it trickles down, so what they promote, you will get a kickback from that as well | 07:26 |
| tonyyarusso | interesting | 07:26 |
| tonyyarusso | dreamhost-sucks said it used to get an F rating from the BBB, and was upgraded to a C - now it's at a B. | 07:27 |
| nixternal | but like i tell everyone, research first, try and talk to as many people about their host and what not | 07:27 |
| nixternal | ya, it is a B and has been for a while. *-sucks.com sites are usually poisonous sites that can never prove their issues | 07:28 |
| nixternal | i have already tried the ubuntu-sucks ones, they all point to ubuntu.com :) | 07:28 |
| tonyyarusso | ha | 07:28 |
| nixternal | heh, back when i worked at at&t, me and another guy started att-sucks.com, and hosted it at at&t | 07:29 |
| nixternal | hehe | 07:29 |
| elkbuntu | lol | 07:29 |
| crimsun | richs-sound-codec-sucks.com ? nice. | 07:30 |
| nixternal | hahaha | 07:30 |
| nixternal | wth quit following me :) | 07:30 |
| crimsun | other way 'round, dude | 07:30 |
| nixternal | shh | 07:30 |
| nixternal | don't let everyone know i am stalking | 07:30 |
| crimsun | err, this isn't a query window! | 07:31 |
| nixternal | lol | 07:31 |
| tonyyarusso | elkbuntu: did I ask already who your host is? | 07:33 |
| elkbuntu | tonyyarusso, maybe. aussie company you're unlikely to have heard of | 07:33 |
| tonyyarusso | ah | 07:33 |
| tonyyarusso | nixternal: Dreamhost apparently increases your storage and bandwidth the longer you stay with them? | 07:45 |
| nixternal | yes | 07:47 |
| nixternal | weekly | 07:47 |
| tonyyarusso | nice | 07:47 |

To request a pack, please email the following information to [MAILTO] info@shipit.ubuntu.com at least 4 weeks prior to the event: | 01:23 |
| jenda | I see. | 01:23 |
| juliux | i get 3 conferenc packs last year | 01:24 |
| jenda | neat. | 01:26 |
| jenda | We didn't get much of a chance to present at conferences yet. | 01:26 |
| jenda | They are usually just 'lectures' here, no booths. | 01:27 |
| juliux | ask marilize if you can get some flyer or/and stickers | 01:27 |
| juliux | or if you want the fast way, ask malcom if he can ask marilize;) | 01:27 |
| juliux | hh malcolm | 01:29 |
| jenda | hehe | 01:31 |
| jenda | I'll look into it - I don't particularly need flyers myself. | 01:32 |
| juliux | MenZa, ping | 01:44 |

| jenda | cool :) | 08:03 |
| MenZa | Been at work the past couple of days | 08:03 |
| MenZa | Even found an Ubuntu user at the store yesterday :D | 08:04 |
| MenZa | It was fun to see my boss' expression when he said that his disk mounted perfectly in Ubuntu, but didn't show up in Windows | 08:04 |
| === MenZa sniggers | ||
| === MenZa pokes jenda | ||
| MenZa | I started working at a computer store. | 08:05 |
| MenZa | But I still get moderately cheap prints | 08:05 |
| jenda | hehe :) | 08:05 |
| jenda | nice :) | 08:06 |
| MenZa | yep | 08:06 |
| MenZa | pondering the 'Works with Ubuntu' stickers tbh | 08:06 |
| MenZa | :D | 08:06 |
| MenZa | that, however, would require me to bring the flaptop to work and test everything in the store | 08:06 |
| MenZa | lol | 08:06 |
| jenda | hehe, go for it ;) | 08:09 |
| juliux | MenZa, did you have a picture of the stickers? | 08:09 |
| MenZa | juliux: I have several | 08:10 |

| MenZa | Used to work for a printer. | 08:14 |

| juliux | jenda, is there also a kubuntu weekly newsletter? | 08:39 |
| jenda | juliux: nope | 08:40 |
| somerville32 | No, and no need for it :) | 08:40 |
| jenda | juliux: it's a community based project | 08:40 |
| jenda | And we share communities. | 08:40 |
| juliux | i found this on here http://www.kubuntu-de.net/kwn/25.html | 08:40 |
| juliux | so i wondering why they are calling it kubuntu weekly newsletter | 08:41 |
| somerville32 | It is just the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter translated and rebranded | 08:42 |
| juliux | and without the gnome and xfce part in the feisty changes;) | 08:42 |
| somerville32 | meh | 08:43 |
| somerville32 | I don't appreciate that but w/e | 08:43 |
| juliux | somerville32, i was just wondering | 08:43 |
| somerville32 | Right. | 08:43 |
| somerville32 | I'm just saying that we put a _lot_ of work into UWN | 08:44 |
| jenda | I don't appreciate that either. | 08:44 |
| somerville32 | rebranding... thats ok | 08:44 |
| somerville32 | translating... thats ok | 08:44 |
| jenda | Lump, don't split, and this is just not very productive. | 08:44 |
| somerville32 | but ripping stuff out is like... a slap in the f ace | 08:44 |
| somerville32 | But hey | 08:44 |
| juliux | somerville32, that is why i ask | 08:44 |
| somerville32 | Maybe they just don't want to translate the extra stuff? | 08:45 |
| juliux | why they translate the desktop and server stuff but not gnome and xfce ? | 08:45 |
| juliux | server and desktop is more | 08:46 |
| === jenda shrugs | ||
| jenda | It's not right. | 08:47 |
| jenda | They shouldn't deny their affiliation with Ubuntu in that way, especially when the work isn't entirely theirs. | 08:47 |
| juliux | jenda, said it to riddell or jono;) | 08:47 |
| jenda | meh | 08:48 |
| jenda | I'm not looking for an argument. | 08:48 |
| beuno | they should also provide a link to the translation in the wiki if they took the time to translate it | 08:51 |
| === beuno waves | ||
| somerville32 | :] | 08:53 |
| juliux | jenda, from May 30th to June 2nd is the biggest linuxday of europe in berlin;9 | 08:54 |
| jenda | neat | 08:54 |
| jenda | :) | 08:54 |
| juliux | jenda, i will organise a ubuntu and edubuntu booth at the linuxday;) | 08:58 |

| WaterSevenUb | Hey. If a team wants to start translating the UWN, what steps should it follow? Do you freeze the UWN on the release day? Do you usually use Gobby? How do we get access to the server? How do you easily change wiki style to the email format easily readable in most of the clients (eg. Pine)? | 09:38 |
| jenda | WaterSevenUb: I'd recommend waiting for each release, and translating it as soon as it's out. | 09:39 |
| jenda | I'm not sure if the gobby server is currently available, but when it is, you can use it too. | 09:40 |
| jenda | the password is always ufl@ftw | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | jenda: (backup - see topic ;) ) | 09:40 |
| jenda | WaterSevenUb: err, I mean, see topic for backup server ;) | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | I think the Spanish team works on it as we go and releases very shortly afterwards | 09:40 |
| jenda | WaterSevenUb: be sure to link to your main UWN page from the english UWN page. | 09:40 |
| beuno | WaterSevenUb: we usually wait for it to be out and create a /ES (for spanish) in the wiki | 09:45 |
| beuno | sometimes we get a head start and translate while it's been cooked up, but that just taked up more time later pasting everything together | 09:46 |
| WaterSevenUb | Thank you all. | 09:47 |
| beuno | weolcome | 09:47 |
| WaterSevenUb | beuno, yeah... I guess then it's hard to find the diffs. | 09:47 |
| beuno | welcome | 09:47 |
| somerville32 | :) | 09:51 |
| WaterSevenUb | Can we edit (very very carefully...typing one letter/minute:-) ) the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter and add the Translations section when they are ready? | 09:53 |
| WaterSevenUb | or should we ask you in here? | 09:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Have somerville32 mess with that page | 09:53 |
| WaterSevenUb | ok:) | 09:54 |

| WaterSevenUb | somerville32, just include a line like Translations: ([:UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue26/PT:Portuguese] ) | 09:56 |
| WaterSevenUb | when it's ready of course:) | 09:56 |
| WaterSevenUb | not now. | 09:56 |
