|---|---|---|
| mdke | morning | 08:55 |
| Madpilot | morning | 09:05 |
| mdke | how's it going? | 09:05 |
| Madpilot | nixternal, why exactly does the bot claim you're a Vista-lover? Got to be a good story there... | 09:05 |
| nixternal | ask hobbsee and crimsun | 09:06 |
| Madpilot | heh. Why did I figure Hobbsee would be involved somehow? | 09:06 |
| nixternal | she would be the one guilty of adding it, and crimsun would be the one guilty of starting it | 09:08 |

| ubotu | New bug: #118741 in ubuntu-docs (main) "External links in stable docs should be under Ubuntu control" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/118741 | 09:35 |
| mdke | hmm. *Click* | 09:38 |
| Madpilot | good point in that bug report, actually | 09:38 |
| mdke | isn't it just his point about updates to documentation, dressed up? | 09:39 |
| mdke | and the second bug he cites is marked as fixed :) | 09:40 |
| mdke | or maybe it's just one of those ideas that sounds a bit odd when you hear it but might work. I wonder how difficult it would be to implement | 09:44 |

| dasoriginal | hello to everybody | 10:46 |
| dasoriginal | :-P | 10:47 |
| dasoriginal | is there nobody who wants to talk with an ubuntureo? | 10:49 |
| dasoriginal | because i wanna join the documentation group, making the funny screenshots to show newbies who ubuntu works! | 10:50 |
| dasoriginal | okay i don't know why nobody talks to me ...... is it forbidden to post in this chat? 8-) | 10:53 |
| willvdl | no it's just almost midnight :) | 10:56 |
| nixternal | no it isn't...4pm here :p | 10:56 |
| nixternal | howdy dasoriginal! | 10:56 |
| nixternal | I would call our screenshots funny, because we might take offense to that ;p | 10:56 |
| nixternal | err | 10:57 |
| nixternal | s/would/wouldn't | 10:57 |
| dasoriginal | oh i don't think about user users local time | 10:57 |
| dasoriginal | other user local time i mean | 10:57 |
| dasoriginal | are there meetings here in next future? | 10:58 |
| === jono [n=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| nixternal | not scheduled at this time..but I am sure once we hit a couple of tribe releases we will | 10:59 |
| nixternal | hiya jono | 10:59 |
| jono | hey | 10:59 |
| nixternal | how goes the busy man? | 10:59 |
| dasoriginal | so what should i do, by the way hi jono | 10:59 |
| jono | hey | 10:59 |
| jono | very busy :) | 11:00 |
| jono | over busy right now tbh | 11:00 |
| nixternal | dasoriginal: take a look at wiki pages, make changes and fixes as you see fit for beginners | 11:00 |
| dasoriginal | okay thats all? ;) | 11:00 |
| nixternal | then you can download a copy of the doc repos and start by editing some DocBook/XML and creating patches and sending them to the doc team list | 11:00 |
| nixternal | I see you had a great time at LinuxTag there jono | 11:00 |
| jono | nixternal: yeah, was a blast :) | 11:00 |
| jono | amazing show :) | 11:01 |
| nixternal | good deal...maybe one of these days, after school is over...I can make the trek to a show or 2, or 3, or 4 :) | 11:01 |
| jono | hehe | 11:02 |
| jono | just booked into another two this year | 11:02 |
| nixternal | ya, that much travel would either drive me mad, or cause me to never do any work | 11:02 |
| dasoriginal | jono: i've seen your show at LinuxTag and now here i am! :D | 11:03 |
| jono | dasoriginal: awesome :) | 11:04 |
| jono | dasoriginal: you came here because of the talk? | 11:04 |
| willvdl | jono, you're a legend! | 11:04 |
| dasoriginal | yes | 11:04 |
| dasoriginal | i did it | 11:04 |
| willvdl | we shall follow you everywhere! :) | 11:04 |
| jono | wow cool | 11:04 |
| jono | willvdl: heh | 11:04 |
| willvdl | in fact, we're watching you... right...now | 11:05 |
| j1mc | that is kind of spooky, willvdl | 11:05 |
| dasoriginal | jono: i really enjoy the whole day at LinuxTag, but after that i want to join the community | 11:06 |
| willvdl | oh, wrong channel. | 11:06 |
| willvdl | Jono did you join the .de stand or did you have your own? | 11:06 |
| jono | dasoriginal: wow, cool, my boss needs to know about this :P | 11:06 |
| jono | willvdl: we had one funded by canonical | 11:07 |
| dasoriginal | of course tell your boss about it. :-Dis the first time that i visit a irc channel | 11:08 |
| willvdl | one things for sure, you must go to the eLA thing next year (in Ghana) | 11:08 |
| nixternal | jono: hurding cats or your new expanding ubuntu talk? need some source for BarCamp Chicago for a talk :) | 11:11 |
| jono | nixternal: this is my new talk, Growing Ubuntu | 11:11 |
| jono | willvdl: I should go? | 11:11 |
| nixternal | jono: do you have the presentation posted somewhere? | 11:12 |
| willvdl | it's a blast | 11:12 |
| jono | nixternal: naa, the slides are pointless without the talk | 11:12 |
| jono | nixternal: you can see the herding cats vid on youtube | 11:12 |
| nixternal | well then, get to chicago in the next 2 weeks and talk ;p | 11:12 |
| jono | willvdl: what kind of conf? | 11:12 |
| jono | nixternal: haha | 11:12 |
| jono | nixternal: hopefully I can get over there sometime | 11:12 |
| willvdl | elearning, vocational training, education | 11:13 |
| nixternal | we will all pitch in 1 beer...that should be enough to have to toasted for the year | 11:13 |
| nixternal | or pissed for the year :) | 11:13 |
| nixternal | speaking of education willvdl, I am currently working on a "Intro to Linux (distros)" for our local university | 11:14 |
| willvdl | really? cool. what kind of info you putting in? | 11:14 |
| nixternal | we are going to take the top 3 and run the students through an 8 week course teaching them how Linux is a viable replacement for Windows | 11:14 |
| nixternal | first week will cover installs (6 to 8 hours). and go on from there | 11:14 |
| nixternal | Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Fedora look to be the big 3 we go over | 11:15 |
| willvdl | that's a really good idea | 11:15 |
| nixternal | it was a pita, and one board removal to get someone to go "OK lets see this" | 11:15 |
| willvdl | you making courseware? | 11:16 |
| nixternal | we will start the coursware once the outline is complete and approved | 11:16 |
| willvdl | ^^ is the most crupting thing I've heard all day :) | 11:16 |
| willvdl | cryptic rather | 11:16 |
| nixternal | and...it will be GPLd (version 3) | 11:16 |
| dasoriginal | okay i leave .... bye to everybody | 11:16 |
| nixternal | bye dasoriginal, have a good one | 11:17 |
| willvdl | dasoriginal, ciao and welcome | 11:17 |
| nixternal | willvdl: they booted me from a board meeting because I got upset with their definition of "teaching students creativity" | 11:17 |
| === dasoriginal [n=martin@p57B9D5F5.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-doc [] | ||
| willvdl | how upset? :) | 11:17 |
| nixternal | I told them they are blocking their creativity by forcing them to use proprietary applications at school, in which they can't afford for home | 11:17 |
| nixternal | and provided them with viable solutions..and then they did the "well we can't support it" | 11:18 |
| willvdl | sigh | 11:18 |
| nixternal | i.e. the linux distros...so I snapped and said you teach students year round how to do support, why can't they do it | 11:18 |
| willvdl | a common theme | 11:18 |
| nixternal | reason for booting is I called the board a collection of idiots with a common goal, money in their pockets | 11:19 |
| willvdl | I believe the term is a "thicket of idiots" | 11:19 |
| nixternal | so I posted flyers in the school...at that point they said I might be on to something | 11:19 |
| nixternal | thicket would have gone over these idiots heads though :D | 11:19 |
| j1mc | flyers in the school about what? about linux, or about the board being dumb? | 11:20 |
| willvdl | I was a t a conf recently | 11:20 |
| willvdl | where there was an OSS and OER track | 11:20 |
| nixternal | linux and how the board was tampering with their creativity and educational rights | 11:20 |
| willvdl | the MC got ahead of himself and decided to leave a closing remark | 11:20 |
| nixternal | *drum roll* | 11:21 |
| willvdl | saying,"well I wouldn't put linux in my aeroplane" | 11:21 |
| nixternal | d'oh | 11:21 |
| willvdl | I almost wanted to tell him about Mir | 11:21 |
| nixternal | hehe | 11:21 |
| nixternal | United Airlines uses nothing but a UNIX based system for their aircraft with the help of Unisys | 11:21 |
| willvdl | but should rather have bitched slapped him for stepping ove rhis professional bounds of leading a panel debate | 11:21 |
| nixternal | and their entire infrastructure is now Linux I believe..it used to be SCO when I worked there on a contract for Y2K | 11:22 |
| nixternal | I think MadPilot would know best on the type of embedded systems they use though | 11:22 |
| willvdl | the aircontrol systems here are linux based | 11:22 |
| nixternal | O'Hare uses Sun Microsystems for everything | 11:23 |
| nixternal | all of their dummy terminals connect to an Enterprise 10k, well they did about 5+ years ago | 11:23 |
| nixternal | man, I love these Geico insurance commercials with the cavemen...I laugh everytime | 11:24 |
| willvdl | I love the outpost.com one with the hamster | 11:24 |
| willvdl | and them wanting to tattoo the children's foreheads | 11:24 |
| nixternal | hahaha yes | 11:25 |
| nixternal | outpost.com has some great commercials...I think I see them on the BBC the most..that and G4 media | 11:25 |
| willvdl | gotto nip out. I'm curious about your course though. specifically the fact that you want to include 3 distros | 11:26 |
| willvdl | bbl | 11:26 |
| nixternal | later, gotta get ready for school myself | 11:26 |
