| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: you around? | 01:42 |
| ryanakca | tonyyarusso: yes | 01:43 |
| pleia2 | evening tonyyarusso! | 01:43 |
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: I had a pondering | 01:43 |
| tonyyarusso | hey pleia2 ! | 01:43 |
| ryanakca | tonyyarusso: I finally added you to the team | 01:43 |
| === tonyyarusso just saw | ||
| tonyyarusso | Does Canonical ever offer hosting and web sites for projects other than LoCo teams, or are we just supposed to use the wiki? | 01:43 |
| ryanakca | I dunno... | 01:43 |
| pleia2 | approved 3rd party teams can get webspace | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | ask them in their sysadmins channel... which has been idle for the past year | 01:44 |
| === ryanakca nods | ||
| tonyyarusso | nah, I've seen activity in sysadmin | 01:44 |
| tonyyarusso | just not lots | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | hehe | 01:44 |
| tonyyarusso | The reason I ask is because I've been reading up on Drupal for a completely unrelated purpose, and thought some things about it sounded like they could be useful to us. | 01:45 |
| === ryanakca nods | ||
| === ryanakca has no drupal experience, but I'd love to learn... | ||
| ryanakca | file an RT | 01:45 |
| === pleia2 is supposed to be learning drupal, but has not been motivated enough | ||
| tonyyarusso | Are we "approved"? | 01:46 |
| ryanakca | no | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | nope, don't even have a mailing list yet | 01:46 |
| ryanakca | hehe | 01:46 |
| ryanakca | even though I filed it several weeks ago... | 01:46 |
| ryanakca | herm. | 01:46 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: I just bought "Building Online Communities with Drupal, phpBB, and WordPress" from Apress. It's really good for the "I don't know anything yet and need to get off the ground" crowd. | 01:47 |
| pleia2 | :o | 01:47 |
| pleia2 | I might have to pester Apress for a "review copy" | 01:47 |
| tonyyarusso | I also go "Pro Drupal Development", which will be the next step, but substantially more complex. | 01:47 |
| === popey notes he got added too :) | ||
| pleia2 | welcome popey! | 01:47 |
| popey | tonyyarusso: yes, non-locos can get hosting | 01:47 |
| ryanakca | popey: yep :) | 01:47 |
| popey | i run the screencast team and we have our (drupal) site hosted by canonical | 01:48 |
| tonyyarusso | popey: 'k, cool | 01:48 |
| pleia2 | popey: is your team approved? | 01:48 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: Yeah, I need to start doing that. I just signed up our LoCo for the user group programs with Apress and O'Reilly. | 01:48 |
| popey | uhm, no :) | 01:48 |
| tonyyarusso | And then went out and spent $185 on their books at Barnes & Noble anyway :S | 01:48 |
| popey | maybe i should add it to the schedule for approval | 01:48 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: O'Reilly is great if you actually write reviews, they'll nag you about asking for more books! | 01:48 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: That's not so bad - it would be good to be reminded | 01:49 |
| pleia2 | popey: cool, so even unapproved teams can have space, how did you go about getting it? | 01:49 |
| popey | i kinda got it by the back door | 01:49 |
| popey | i suspect that we are not the best example | 01:50 |
| pleia2 | ah, sneaky popey :) | 01:50 |
| popey | i note the mythbuntu people have also asked for hosting | 01:50 |
| popey | dunno if they got it yet | 01:50 |
| pleia2 | I think the mythbuntu people had some trouble and they're approved, I just wondered if they didn't take the proper routes | 01:50 |
| ryanakca | hmm... can you just randomly decide to review, even though you've never done so before? I guess they take your credit card number, send you the book, and if you don't publish the review by x date, they charge you for it? | 01:50 |
| popey | ryanakca: if you need drupal help, just shout | 01:50 |
| pleia2 | ryanakca: you say you're a LUG, give them your URL, they send you free books | 01:50 |
| popey | i run a few drupal sites | 01:50 |
| ryanakca | pleia2: cool | 01:51 |
| pleia2 | ryanakca: nothing so formal as asking for a credit card :) | 01:51 |
| pleia2 | if you don't review, oh well, but if you do - you get more! and they like yoU! | 01:51 |
| === ryanakca wonders if they accept one person LUGs | ||
| pleia2 | lol | 01:51 |
| ryanakca | we had one... but it's been dead for the past 3-4 years | 01:51 |
| popey | ryanakca: had one what? | 01:51 |
| ryanakca | LUG | 01:51 |
| popey | oh | 01:51 |
| popey | where? | 01:52 |
| ryanakca | Kingston Linux User Group :) | 01:52 |
| popey | Kingston in..? | 01:52 |
| ryanakca | KLUG... http://www.klug.on.ca/ | 01:52 |
| ryanakca | ontario, canada | 01:52 |
| popey | thanks | 01:52 |
| popey | there is a Kingston near me :) | 01:52 |
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: just do it through Canada | 01:52 |
| popey | that's why I wondered | 01:52 |
| ryanakca | they've added counters to the website... but haven't held any meetings | 01:53 |
| === popey helps with UK LUGs | ||
| ryanakca | tonyyarusso: yeah, CALUG... and... the lug address is my house... | 01:53 |
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: I meant Ubuntu Canada | 01:53 |
| ryanakca | Ah... but, how would we share the books... | 01:53 |
| popey | lotto | 01:53 |
| ryanakca | would cost an arm and a leg on shipping from eastern canada to BC | 01:53 |
| pleia2 | gosh, we are so off topic, people are actually here, I want to talk -classroom! :) | 01:54 |
| popey | heh | 01:54 |
| ryanakca | hehe | 01:54 |
| === popey wondered why he was added to the lp team actually :) | ||
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: They don't have to ship to BC, so it depends on who wants it ;) | 01:54 |
| popey | not that I mind | 01:54 |
| tonyyarusso | Aaaaaanyway | 01:54 |
| jrib | hi | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | popey: we're trying to relaunch classroom | 01:54 |
| ryanakca | popey: because you applied? | 01:54 |
| popey | i did!? | 01:54 |
| tonyyarusso | I was just pondering about site stuff for scheduling and posting logs and whatnot - drupal would work well | 01:54 |
| popey | must have been last time round :) | 01:54 |
| popey | tonyyarusso: what's wrong with the wiki? | 01:55 |
| pleia2 | the wiki is great for now, but moving forward something more dynamic would be nice | 01:55 |
| popey | ok | 01:55 |
| popey | drupal has a nice calendar system | 01:55 |
| tonyyarusso | popey: well, eventually it gets limiting, particularly in the scheduling area. The upload/linking files capability leaves something to be desired too. | 01:55 |
| ryanakca | nope, sept 30th | 01:55 |
| popey | we use it on the fridge | 01:55 |
| pleia2 | if someone wants to put effort into getting us hosting, that's cool | 01:55 |
| pleia2 | right now I'm sort of looking to focus on content more | 01:55 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 01:56 |
| === ryanakca nods | ||
| popey | if it's just a drupal site I don't mind hosting it | 01:56 |
| pleia2 | I don't know if it's a secret or not, but ubuntu open week is being scheduled | 01:56 |
| ryanakca | :D | 01:56 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm sort of in CMS-studying mode, since this is one of four(?) areas I'm looking into it for | 01:56 |
| === pleia2 hides from jono if it's a secret ;) | ||
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: yay! | 01:56 |
| === popey has noted the changes to the prep page | ||
| popey | handy page to be subscribed to :) | 01:56 |
| tonyyarusso | popey: name? | 01:57 |
| tonyyarusso | oh, just UbuntuOpenWeek | 01:57 |
| popey | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep | 01:57 |
| tonyyarusso | ah | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | yep | 01:58 |
| popey | pleia2: did you want a domain, (ubuntuclassroom.org) or just a subdomain (classroom.ubuntu.com) or something else? | 01:58 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: haha, how would you have found out? By asking about running a U-W session perhaps? | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | popey: either one | 01:59 |
| tonyyarusso | popey: classroom. is more elegant and uniform | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: Jono asked me to run the UW one | 01:59 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: ah, that works too | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | mmm, so what else to talk about? | 02:01 |
| === ryanakca shrugs... | ||
| ryanakca | who we going to get to teach? | 02:02 |
| ryanakca | same people as last year or? | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Do we want to try to have any sessions before open week, or just start up right away after? | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Will we be doing any classroom sessions ourselves? | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: start up after | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | (for ow) | 02:02 |
| ryanakca | bit of both... I might post something on planet asking for volunteers | 02:02 |
| ryanakca | year. | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: I'm thinking of asking for one volunteer from each LoCo. | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | ryanakca: I think we can go through the presenters from last year and see if any are interested in doing their class again | 02:03 |
| ryanakca | yeah | 02:03 |
| jrib | are you planning on new topics or the same? | 02:03 |
| ryanakca | dunno. | 02:03 |
| tonyyarusso | some of each I suppose | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | yeah, some of each | 02:04 |
| tonyyarusso | new ones would be better, but harder | 02:04 |
| ryanakca | I'd go for pretty much the same, but if we think up of anything new, sure | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | I also liked that MOTU is doing sessions in here | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | need to get more teams to do Q&A sessions that we promote | 02:04 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 02:04 |
| ryanakca | And, do we keep the same model, beginner-intermediate-advanced courses, or alternate between beginner-advanced type thing? | 02:04 |
| tonyyarusso | So, s/each LoCo/each LoCo and team/ | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: yeah | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | ryanakca: I think we can sort of alternate, based on availability | 02:05 |
| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: not sure it has to be structured, as long as there is a mix of everything | 02:05 |
| ryanakca | also, umm... if you can hunt down the logs of the 2 person meeting gnomefreak and I had in #ubuntu-meeting a while back, we had lots of good points/ideas/etc in there | 02:05 |
| ryanakca | February-ish methinks | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | where are logs from here kept? | 02:05 |
| tonyyarusso | !logs | 02:05 |
| ubotu | Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs - See also !OpenWeek | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | ty | 02:05 |
| popey | looks like older logs are purged | 02:07 |

| tonyyarusso | ryanakca: timestamp? | 02:12 |
| ryanakca | for? | 02:13 |
| === ryanakca scratches his head | ||
| tonyyarusso | your conversation | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | ty | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | where's it start? | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | 6:57 | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | ok | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | oh yeah, I think I read this before | 02:13 |
| === ryanakca works on homework while you guys read it... or while pleia reads it... | ||
| ryanakca | ping me when you're done | 02:14 |
| === merriam [n=merriam@85-211-143-106.dyn.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === pleia2 sees where tonyyarusso's idea of "reminding presenters" comes in :) | ||
| tonyyarusso | :P | 02:21 |
| tonyyarusso | another nifty part with drupal - that could be automated potentially | 02:22 |
| jroes | has there been any thought to ubuntu classroom screencasts? | 02:22 |
| jroes | I would say google-style lecture videos probably wouldn't be worth it, but a screencast with running commentary sounds neat | 02:23 |
| ryanakca | pleia2: see Classroom/Guidelines | 02:23 |
| popey | like http://screencasts.ubuntu.com jroes ? | 02:23 |
| popey | :) | 02:23 |
| tonyyarusso | jroes: There is a separate screencast team right now | 02:23 |
| === popey waves from the screencast team | ||
| tonyyarusso | Perhaps there would be some cause for helping them work together, but classroom has always been irc-oriented so far | 02:23 |
| jroes | haha | 02:24 |
| jroes | good one :) | 02:24 |
| popey | i completely agree | 02:24 |
| jroes | I like the irc format too though | 02:24 |
| jroes | hmm. I didn't realize that most of this is geared towards using ubuntu | 02:24 |
| jroes | is there anything geared toward learning how to contribute? | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | ryanakca: nice | 02:25 |
| ryanakca | jroes: there's open week | 02:25 |
| popey | not yet from the screencast team jroes, no, but that's a big part of the open week | 02:26 |
| popey | oh :) | 02:26 |
| === jroes googles open week | ||
| === popey needs to learn to type quicker | ||
| pleia2 | jroes: see topic | 02:26 |
| popey | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek jroes | 02:26 |
| === jroes smacks self | ||
| pleia2 | :) | 02:26 |
| pleia2 | ok, I need to sneak out | 02:27 |
| === pleia2 has a toothache, which has turned into a not so fun headache! | ||
| pleia2 | dentist on wednesday... | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | stupid wisdom teeth | 02:27 |
| popey | :( | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | and I'm 26! I'm too old for this ;) | 02:28 |
| popey | haha | 02:28 |
| === popey is 35 and I haven't had my wisdoms come yet | ||
| pleia2 | lucky | 02:28 |
| ryanakca | see yah pleia2 | 02:28 |
| pleia2 | ok, nite | 02:28 |

| popey | time for bed methinks.. nn all | 02:29 |
| ryanakca | night popey | 02:29 |
| jroes | hm, oct 22 and an empty schedule? did dholbach2 just accidentally kill the schedule or is that from the previous open week? | 02:29 |
| popey | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep jroes | 02:29 |
| jroes | ahhhh | 02:30 |
| jroes | excellent, that is going to be an interesting week :) | 02:30 |
