[12:32] <lifeless> so, any more questions to ask ?
[12:32] <lifeless> (I have none)
[12:32] <elkbuntu> nor i. +1
[12:33] <persia> +1 from me, although I'd like to see more of the various projects more integrated with Ubuntu
[12:33] <amachu__> neither too.. thats fair enough +1
[12:33] <amachu__> neither me too..
[12:33]  * elkbuntu agrees with persia
[12:33] <amachu__> zakame: there?
[12:34]  * udienz- still waiting
[12:34] <lifeless> +1
[12:35] <lifeless> persia: I agree re the projects, but I think that that is largely orthogonal; he is contributing both directly and indirectly
[12:35] <udienz-> lifeless: thanks...
[12:36] <Belutz> the problem in our country is that we still focus in gathering more FOSS users than FOSS developers, how can they be a developer if they doesn't use it
[12:36] <zakame> +1 on the translation works, keep it up :)
[12:36] <persia> lifeless: Entirely.  I believe udienz- deserves membership based on the strength of LoCo work and translations.  I'd still like to see this membership used to help transition ubuntume and BlankOn into in-repo derivatives.
[12:36] <amachu__> persia: i too would stress on that, overall Ok
[12:36]  * Belutz congrats udienz-

[13:26] <elkbuntu> so um, who is doing the LP clickery?
[13:56] <lukehasnoname> @schedule chicago
[14:56] <izamryan> @schedule brunei
[15:24] <owh> @schedule perth
[15:25] <lukehasnoname> perth.
[15:26] <lukehasnoname> Most expensive place in Autralia, I hear.
[15:27] <owh> lukehasnoname: Expensive for what? Says who?
[15:28] <lukehasnoname> living
[15:28] <lukehasnoname> compared to other major Autralian cities
[15:28] <lukehasnoname> according to wikipedia or similar
[15:29] <lukehasnoname> I was thinking about studying in Newcastle for a while, but expenses won't permit (I'm middle class trying to get through college. Cry for me.)
[15:30] <owh> Well, I don't know about the accuracy of the statement, as that number changes all the time. I know that housing shortages have increased the house price in Perth dramatically and that the mining boom in the state has created employee shortages, but costs seem to be in touch with the rest of the country.
[15:31] <lukehasnoname> hm
[15:31] <lukehasnoname> What's an average apartment ("flat") cost, one bed, per month?
[15:32] <owh> Dunno. We're paying AUD$ 330 per month for a two bedroom home 10 km from the CBD on a bus route.
[15:32] <owh> s/month/week/
[15:32] <owh> You're better off looking online for real answers.
[15:33] <lukehasnoname> 330!
[15:33] <lukehasnoname> *runs to converter*
[15:33] <owh> Per week.
[15:33] <lukehasnoname> oh damn
[15:33] <jussi01> perth is nice
[15:34] <lukehasnoname> that's about 1200 USD a month, ya, that's no shock.
[15:34] <owh> It's got it's good points :)
[15:34] <owh> lukehasnoname: Yeah, AUD is pretty close to USD at the moment.
[15:34] <owh> lukehasnoname: It was 2 : 1 for a while a couple of years back :)
[15:35] <owh> jussi01: How did you get to experience Perth?
[15:37] <jussi01> owh: i was born in bunbury ;)
[15:39] <lukehasnoname> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Seabrook-tx-kemah-bridge.jpg
[15:39] <ogra> do they bury buns there ?
[15:39] <lukehasnoname> That's the coast of my town
[15:40] <owh> jussi01: Nice part of the world. Most of my wife's family lives around there, Bussleton, Dunsborough, all good :)
[15:40] <jussi01> owh: :) Moved to Melbourne when I was 8
[15:41] <owh> jussi01: Now that's funny. I was born in Mitcham and moved to WA when I was 3 weeks old :)
[15:42] <jussi01> hehe
[15:42] <owh> For those reading along, Mitcham is a suburb of Melbourne :)
[15:42] <jussi01> well actuallyy moved to geelong, but no one over where I live now knows where that is
[15:43] <jussi01> and perhaps we should move to one of the offtopic rooms
[15:43] <lukehasnoname> psh
[15:43] <owh> Nah, I'm hanging around for the ubuntu-server meeting :)
[15:44] <lukehasnoname> not until 10, er, 15 minutes from now
[15:44] <jussi01> theres an -au-offtopic yes?
[15:44] <jussi01> owh: I now live in finland
[15:44] <owh> O_o
[15:46] <owh> lukehasnoname: Niice.
[15:47]  * owh likes small towns.
[15:47] <jussi01> owh: I married a finnish girl :D
[15:48] <jussi01> I live in a town of ~120,000
[15:48] <owh> jussi01: That'll teach ya :)
[15:48] <jussi01> owh: I like it here
[15:48] <owh> jussi01: Next you'll be teaching your kids to speak in foreign toungues :)
[15:48] <jussi01> owh: Kids?... right
[15:49] <jussi01> My kids are my dog and My hedgehog
[15:50] <owh> Fair enough.
[15:50] <owh> But look what princess Mary got herself into, marrying into the Danish Royal Family :)
[15:50] <jussi01> here are some pics of Tuhina the hedgehog if you are interested: http://lifematta.com/jussi01/photos/
[15:52] <owh> Nice doggie :)
[15:52] <jussi01> :D :P
[15:53] <lukehasnoname> seriously, why was the meeting bumped up? Was 8pm too hard for the blokes on the east side of the Atlantic?
[15:53] <owh> It's coming up to 11pm, I'm normally fast asleep at this time, but someone scheduled a meeting in the middle of the night, so I'm a little delirious.
[15:54] <lukehasnoname> It's 10am June 10th here in Houston
[15:54] <owh> lukehasnoname: It was a consensus thing and I didn't feel that I could cause others to have a meeting in the middle of their night, this way I get to feel some of their pain :)
[15:55] <owh> jussi01: Now what I really want is a webcam of your hedgehog so I can just have him/her sit on my desktop as a companion without needing to feed or clean up :)
[15:55] <jussi01> LOL
[15:56] <owh> lukehasnoname: Hmm, seems Seabrook isn't as small as I thought. I've been round Australia and lived in towns of 1500 people and less, very cozy :)
[15:58] <sommer> hey all
[15:58] <owh> o/
[15:58] <lukehasnoname> Ya, Seabrook has 10k people with a lot of neighborhoods, but Todville (the street going into the distance in that pic) has the fish market and sparse coastal houses. I live just the other side of some trees in that pic
[15:59]  * owh needs an anti-yawn cream.
[15:59] <sommer> owh: that only comes in a spray
[16:00] <owh> I wonder if talking about yawning causes people across the planet to yawn :)
[16:00] <nijaba> o/
[16:00] <Koon> \o
[16:00] <owh> sommer: Excellent, can you email me some?
[16:00] <sommer> owh: I'll see what I can do, heh
[16:01]  * owh wakes mathiaz up.
[16:03]  * owh pulls some navel fluff.
[16:03] <lukehasnoname> o_o
[16:04] <owh> So, what's the protocol, do we wait or do we start?
[16:04] <nijaba> looks like freenode is having issues...
[16:04] <nealmcb> o/
[16:04] <nijaba> owh: mathiaz is the chair usually, so as I know is is coming, let's wait for him
[16:04] <owh> nijaba: Fun, we had that over the weekend also.
[16:05] <mathiaz> Last meeting log: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080604
[16:06] <ivoks> mathiaz: openldap was an action
[16:06] <nijaba> mathiaz I believe your node on freenode was disconnected, so we did not see your intro
[16:06] <owh> The first I saw was the meeting log link, no start meeting, no coffee or donuts, nothing :)
[16:07] <Koon> yes, we were caught in the netsplit
[16:07] <mathiaz> nijaba: mmhhh - I didn't receive any message
[16:07] <nijaba> mathiaz: We did :(
[16:07] <mathiaz> this is way I felt lonely - nobody seemed to be around :/
[16:07] <ivoks> mathiaz: i did get message, too
[16:07] <ivoks> mathiaz: i was with you, come one! :D
[16:07] <ogra> so you missed all of owh's sweet navel playing
[16:07] <mathiaz> ivoks: I know - I noticed that
[16:07] <nijaba> ivoks: your are on clarke as well
[16:07] <mathiaz> ivoks: thanks :)
[16:08] <nijaba> <-- ivoks has quit (clarke.freenode.net irc.freenode.net)
[16:08] <nijaba> <-- mathiaz has quit (clarke.freenode.net irc.freenode.net)
[16:08] <ivoks> anytime :)
[16:08] <lukehasnoname> Meeting, anyone?
[16:08] <mathiaz> allright - let's get started again
[16:08] <mathiaz> #startmeeting
[16:08] <MootBot> Meeting started at 10:10. The chair is mathiaz.
[16:08] <MootBot> Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]
[16:08] <mathiaz> \o/
[16:08] <owh> Well, perhaps that's a whole discussion point in itself, freenode stability for meetings.
[16:09] <mathiaz> today's agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting
[16:09] <mathiaz> [TOPIC] Review ACTION points from previous meeting
[16:09] <MootBot> New Topic:  Review ACTION points from previous meeting
[16:09] <mathiaz> Last meeting log: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080604
[16:10] <mathiaz> so there was an action about openldap 2.4.9
[16:11] <mathiaz> this is has been done IIRC
[16:11] <nijaba> zul did it, yes, I saw the bugmail about it
[16:11] <mathiaz> nijaba: right - but I don't find the bug number anymore
[16:11] <ivoks> nijaba: do you have bug number?
[16:12] <nijaba> bug #237688
[16:12] <ivoks> ok, nice...
[16:12] <mathiaz> ok - so the issue is that it won't make it for 8.04.1
[16:12] <nijaba> so Pitti has acepted the rationale
[16:13] <mathiaz> and upstream has just released 2.4.10
[16:13] <mathiaz> which has more bug fixes
[16:13] <nijaba> mathiaz: really?  it is already in proposed
[16:14] <mathiaz> nijaba: not in hardy-proposed
[16:14] <nijaba> you may be right, must be mistaking then
[16:14] <mathiaz> nijaba: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap2.3
[16:15] <mathiaz> nijaba: zul uploaded a new package in -updates that fixes some bugs
[16:15] <mathiaz> nijaba: but it's still 2.4.7
[16:15] <ivoks> right, 2.4.10 is fixes-only
[16:15] <nijaba> mathiaz: ok, I got it mixed up
[16:15] <mathiaz> now that 8.04.1 is out-of-reach for 2.4.9
[16:15] <mathiaz> it may be worth uploading 2.4.10 to hardy
[16:16] <ivoks> for .2?
[16:16] <mathiaz> ivoks: for whenever we want
[16:16] <ivoks> oh, ok
[16:16] <nealmcb> the only difference is whether it is on the iso?  when would it be in -updates?
[16:17] <mathiaz> nealmcb: What do you mean ?
[16:17] <mathiaz> nealmcb: .1 would be on the iso yes
[16:17] <nealmcb> if it is in -updates, then everyone would get it except right on install from the 8.04.1 iso
[16:17] <mathiaz> nealmcb: 2.4.10 would be in -updates when the SRU is done
[16:17] <mathiaz> nealmcb: correct
[16:17] <nealmcb> righe - so when would that be?
[16:17] <nealmcb> long delay or pretty soon?
[16:18]  * nealmcb cares less about the iso than getting a good ldap out ther
[16:18] <nealmcb> *there
[16:18] <mathiaz> nealmcb: it's up to us really - if we take the steps to do the SRU we can get it in quickly
[16:18] <mathiaz> nealmcb: yes. first we'd had to get it into intrepid
[16:18] <mathiaz> nealmcb: once it's in intrepid, we can SRU it in hardy
[16:19] <nealmcb> or we could just go with 2.4.9?
[16:19] <mathiaz> IMO we want 2.4.10 in hardy anyway - it has some good fixes
[16:19] <nealmcb> ok
[16:19] <mathiaz> nealmcb: I guess we could upload 2.4.9 to hardy
[16:19] <mathiaz> nealmcb: and later do 2.4.10
[16:19] <nealmcb> depends on the timing
[16:20] <nealmcb> but if it fixes big bugs and is approved....
[16:20] <nealmcb> but churn is also best avoided...
[16:21] <mathiaz> zul is not around - but I think we should get 2.4.9 uploaded
[16:21] <mathiaz> and then when 2.4.10 is in intrepid we can another SRU
[16:21] <ScottK2> If 2.4.10 doesn't fix any regressions in 2.4.9, then that'd be a good sign to go ahead with 2.4.9 while we work out if we can do 2.4.10
[16:21]  * mathiaz nods
[16:22] <mathiaz> [ACTION] zul to go ahead with 2.4.9 in hardy as an SRU
[16:22] <MootBot> ACTION received:  zul to go ahead with 2.4.9 in hardy as an SRU
[16:22] <nealmcb> ScottK2: good point
[16:22] <ivoks> that was only action?
[16:23] <mathiaz> ivoks: AFAICT yes
[16:23] <nijaba> I had one with elmo.  I filed and RT and am waiting for the server to be setup for limeurvey
[16:23] <ivoks> urgh... i have to leave, sorry... i wasn't expecting this... bbl
[16:24]  * mathiaz waves at ivoks 
[16:24] <mathiaz> Let's move on then
[16:24] <mathiaz> [TOPIC] Intrepid Specification Status
[16:24] <MootBot> New Topic:  Intrepid Specification Status
[16:25] <mathiaz> So ScottK2 asked whether we could do a status on the specifications
[16:25] <ScottK2> Yes
[16:25] <mathiaz> As of now, all specifications proposed for intrepid should be in pending aproval mode with dendrobates as an aprover
[16:26]  * ScottK2 is working on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerFlavorSpec
[16:26]  * ScottK2 isn't sure why it didn't get done otherwise.
[16:26] <ScottK2> I thought we'd agreed to it at UDS.
[16:26] <ScottK2> The draft is pretty solid up through the use cases.  The rest still needs work.
[16:27] <mathiaz> ScottK2: the spec relies on FAI - any reason why tasksel is not enough ?
[16:27] <ScottK2> Yes.
[16:28] <ScottK2> With tasksel we can install packages.
[16:28] <ScottK2> With FAI we can install a set of packages and configure them for a specific use.
[16:28] <nijaba> because of policy conflicts, IIRC
[16:28] <ScottK2> Right.
[16:29] <ScottK2> taskel is a package and can't touch other package configs
[16:29] <ScottK2> FAI is part of the installer acting effectively as an agent for the user.
[16:29]  * ScottK2 hopes siretart will jump in any time.
[16:29] <mathiaz> ScottK2: so that would mean to bring FAI into main
[16:31]  * CrummyGummy has read the spec.
[16:31] <CrummyGummy> This is a good idea. I might loose my job...
[16:31] <ScottK-palm> I'm having some laptop trouble right now.
[16:32] <ScottK-palm> Last thing I saw was about FAI in main.
[16:32] <nealmcb> ScottK I don't know much about FAI, but it looks good - makes it easy for folks to further customize the flavors
[16:32] <mathiaz> Ok - so what other specs people have been working on ?
[16:32] <ScottK2> He and Yes
[16:32] <ScottK-palm> I think it gives us a good basis for scalability in the enterprise.
[16:33] <nealmcb> We have had lots of discussion about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCentralizedServiceAdministrator
[16:33] <mathiaz> I've written up 4 specs about network authentication and identity managment
[16:34] <mathiaz> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~mathiaz/+specs?role=drafter - in pending approval mode
[16:34] <nealmcb> is this the place that should have links? https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/~dendrobates
[16:34] <mathiaz> nealmcb: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~dendrobates/+specs?role=approver
[16:34] <nealmcb> great - that helps
[16:34] <mathiaz> kirkland: what your specs ?
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: what about my specs?  I have written 3
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: 1) Encrypted ~/Private directory
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: 2) Boot into Degraded Mode
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: 3) Swapfile in the installer
[16:36] <mathiaz> kirkland: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~kirkland/+specs?role=drafter lists 5
[16:36] <kirkland> mathiaz: true, the remaining 2 are documentation related, and I'm mostly working on those in my spare time
[16:36] <kirkland> mathiaz: 4) is the documentation search, http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/search.html
[16:37] <kirkland> mathiaz: 5) is the Ubuntu Manpage Repository, http://ubuntu.dustinkirkland.com/manpages/hardy/
[16:37] <kirkland> mathiaz: as for 4), newz2000 is doing something similar, based on this for search.ubuntu.com
[16:38] <mathiaz> kirkland: is your man page site ready for a wide audience /
[16:38] <mathiaz> kirkland: ?
[16:39] <mathiaz> jdstrand: have you written up any spec for ufw in intrepid ?
[16:39] <jdstrand> sorry, I had a power 'event' here and am back online
[16:39] <jdstrand> I have no backlog
[16:40] <jdstrand> mathiaz: no spec for ufw as what was discussed was just refining the old spec
[16:40]  * nijaba wonder if the power event is chipmunk related
[16:40] <Koon> the return of the revenge of the chipmunk
[16:40] <jdstrand> I think it is more lightning-related
[16:40] <mathiaz> Koon: any news on the j2ee front ?
[16:41] <kirkland> (sorry, I have a nasty kernel hang that has bitten me 3 times during this meeting)
[16:41] <Koon> mathiaz: dendrobates was supposed to push the question up
[16:41] <jdstrand> just a guess
[16:41] <mathiaz> Koon: right - so your technical investigation is finished
[16:42] <Koon> mathiaz: yes. The final impression is that it's a costly move, but technically (alwaysà possible
[16:42] <Koon> s/à/)
[16:42] <mathiaz> Koon: ok.
[16:42] <nealmcb> this one from soren looks like it is old - perhaps dendrobates should be removed as approver or something? https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-easy-business-server
[16:42] <mathiaz> Anyeone else wants to add something about spec for intrepid ?
[16:43] <mathiaz> nealmcb: may be - but only him can do that
[16:43] <nealmcb> several others like that I guess
[16:43] <ScottK-palm> I'd just like to hear from dendroabtes that mine is being  considered.
[16:43] <mathiaz> nealmcb: he said he would clean up all the blueprints
[16:44] <sommer> mathiaz: the intrepid-serverguide spec
[16:44] <sommer> I've got a good start on the samba sections... just fyi
[16:45] <nealmcb> on the spec front I'm mainly interested in the plan for gui admin - I've seen several....
[16:45] <Koon> mathiaz: did Dan Shearer convert his ideas to the blueprint format somewhere ?
[16:45] <Koon> forget it, I found them.
[16:46] <kirkland> Koon: i got several emails from danshearer pointing to specs that he started
[16:46] <lukehasnoname> nealmcb: I think the only conclusion reached is that it won't be X based
[16:46] <mathiaz> nealmcb: right - have you seen http://augeas.net/ ?
[16:47] <lukehasnoname> Whether it's based on ebox or written in CLI with a front end has yet to be decided
[16:47] <nealmcb> ﻿﻿https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/~danshearer
[16:47] <mathiaz> nealmcb: that seems like a good approach on the backend side
[16:47] <nealmcb> mathiaz: yeah - briefly - I linked to it from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCentralizedServiceAdministrator
[16:48] <nealmcb> I wonder what ebox thinks of augeas
[16:49] <nealmcb> perhaps next week we can get nvxl and the ebox guy and dan and make that an agenda item?
[16:50] <nealmcb> and continue to discuss on the wiki and mail list in the meantime...
[16:50] <mathiaz> nealmcb: we could - may be start a thread on the ml
[16:50] <nealmcb> :)
[16:50] <mathiaz> nealmcb: right - I'll add an item to the meeting agenda and make sure to invite them to the meeting
[16:51] <mathiaz> [ACTION] mathiaz to invite the ebox developer, nxvl and dan shearer to the meeting to discuss system adminstration framework
[16:51] <MootBot> ACTION received:  mathiaz to invite the ebox developer, nxvl and dan shearer to the meeting to discuss system adminstration framework
[16:51] <nealmcb> ...and gui...
[16:52] <mathiaz> Anything else on the spec front ?

[16:57] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[16:58] <mathiaz> That's all folks
[16:58] <nijaba> thanks mathiaz
[16:58] <nealmcb> question
[16:59] <nealmcb> with an emphasis on virtualization, what part of iso testing could/should be done with vms?
[16:59] <mathiaz> nealmcb: I tend to do all the software testing in vms
[16:59]  * nealmcb should read that link again first :)
[16:59] <nijaba> nealmcb: vm for 99% of the tests
[16:59] <nealmcb> I guess I mean ubuntu-vm-builder....
[16:59] <mathiaz> nealmcb: such as testing the different use cases outlined in the Server Install page
[17:00] <mathiaz> nealmcb: u-v-m doesn't help
[17:00] <nijaba> nealmcb: uvb does not apply as we are talking iso
[17:00] <mathiaz> nealmcb: as it doesn't exercise the iso
[17:00] <nealmcb> if we are pushing it, more testing of/with it might make sense
[17:00] <mathiaz> nealmcb: I use vms with preseeded iso and set the vm to boot from the iso
[17:00] <nealmcb> thanks
[17:01] <mathiaz> [TOPIC] Agree on next meeting date and time.
[17:01] <MootBot> New Topic:  Agree on next meeting date and time.
[17:01] <CrummyGummy> Is there any work being done to get vendors to support ubuntu-server?
[17:01] <mathiaz> Next week, same place, same time ?
[17:01] <owh> mathiaz: Earlier would be good :)
[17:01] <nijaba> owh: not for mathiaz ;)
[17:02] <Koon> I like that time :)
[17:02]  * owh is at midnight, but I understand the pain others have gone through, so I'll tough it out if I have to.
[17:02]  * owh is normally asleep by 9pm :) - awake at 5am :)
[17:03] <owh> Seriously, don't change it for me alone.
[17:03] <mathiaz> owh: well - as of now, this time slot suits most of the people
[17:04] <mathiaz> so see you next week, same time, same place.
[17:04] <mathiaz> thanks for attending and happy merging !

[18:24] <stgraber> Seveas: hmm, the fridge wasn't updated this time ?
[18:32] <Seveas> apparently not
[18:32] <Seveas> pity
[18:34] <Seveas> stgraber, meeting is in 30 minutes, right?
[18:34] <forumsmatthew> Seveas, that's what I was thinking...
[18:34] <stgraber> Seveas: yep
[18:35] <Seveas> 2/5 candidates are here
[18:35] <forumsmatthew> 3
[18:35] <Seveas> 2/6, sorry
[18:35] <Seveas> I only see meisok and rhkfin
[18:35] <forumsmatthew> I was thinking committee members...my bad
[18:35] <phanatic> i'll be able to attend the meeting only for an hour
[18:36] <Seveas> phanatic, I don't think we need that much time
[18:36] <Seveas> 6 candidates
[18:36] <Seveas> 2 still with empty wikipages
[18:36] <Seveas> 1 is kmos
[18:36] <phanatic> oh, that should be enough then...
[18:36] <rhkfin> Hey, has the time been changed? I read it was 1800 GMT..?
[18:36] <rhkfin> I hate time zones.. but anyway, I'm ready..
[18:37] <Seveas> 1800 UTC is in 24 minutes
[18:37] <Seveas> @now
[18:37] <Seveas> ubottu needs to be fixed
[18:38] <Myrtti> merh.
[18:39] <Seveas> hey dear
[18:39] <Myrtti> emea meeting?
[18:39] <Seveas> yuo
[18:40] <Myrtti> not in calendars.
[18:40] <Myrtti> hence merh.
[18:42] <Seveas> popey, phanatic: doodle please :)
[18:43] <phanatic> Seveas: doodle'd already...
[18:43] <Seveas> ah, sorry, mismatch between name and nick in my brain
[18:43] <Seveas> PriceChild, you still need to doodle
[18:43] <phanatic> no problem :)
[18:44] <stgraber> Seveas: can you send me the URL to next meeting doodle again ? (it's probably lost somewhere in my mails :))
[18:44] <Seveas> http://doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=8xt3diunc9ugeaiu
[18:44] <Seveas> you already doodled
[18:46] <forumsmatthew> re: doodle.... I had a change of plans, but lost the link to adjust my details. I am no longer free on the 17th...
[18:47] <stgraber> forumsmatthew: click "edit an entry" (top left) and change yours
[18:48] <forumsmatthew> stgraber, thanks. That was easy. I need to learn to read the words on the screen, I guess. :)
[18:49] <Myrtti> Seveas: may I have a word before you start?
[18:50] <Seveas> Myrtti, sure
[18:50] <Seveas> Myrtti, you might as well shout now, board members are here
[18:51] <Myrtti> last week after the Americas membership meeting there seemed to be some misunderstanding about where the cloaks should be requested. I know this is not the case here, but I'd like to remind everyone present that the IRC cloaks are requested at #ubuntu-irc, if on any channel.
[18:51] <Myrtti> thanks.
[18:52] <Seveas> Myrtti, is the wikipage updated to say that, last time I looked (a while ago) -ops was the place to go
[18:52] <Myrtti> Seveas: Pici checked them out IIRC and there should be -irc everywhere
[18:52] <toros> hi
[19:00] <Seveas> forumsmatthew, popey, PriceChild, stgraber, phanatic, available?
[19:00] <forumsmatthew> ready

[19:01] <Seveas> Daviey, could you send popey another NMI? :)
[19:01] <Seveas> and if someone can send PriceChild one, that'd be appreciated
[19:02]  * stgraber goes back to reading wikipages while waiting for popey and PriceChild

[19:04] <popey> sorry

[19:11] <Seveas> excellent
[19:11] <beuno> yay!  congrats meisok   :)
[19:11] <Seveas> congrats meisok!
[19:11] <meisok> wow thanks1!!!
[19:11] <Seveas> toros, you're up
[19:11] <toros> I am a Hungarian Ubuntu LoCo activist. I was born in 1982. I live in Budapest, and I work as a copywriter for an advertising agency. I am an Ubuntu user, open source enthusiast, and FSF.hu (Free Software Foundation Hungary) activist. I write all kind of stuff including news, articles, documentation, press releases, etc.
[19:11] <forumsmatthew> congratulations!
[19:11] <meisok> thanks all! ;)
[19:11] <toros> I wrote the first Hungarian Ubuntu book, called Ubuntu Világa (The World of Ubuntu) - this is not a book about how to use Ubuntu, but a book about the history, philosophy and technical background of free software and Ubuntu.
[19:12] <toros> I am the coordinator of the Hungarian Ubuntu Documentation team - now, we are working on a project, to move our documentation to launchpad, usind reStructuredText format and Bazaar VCS.
[19:12] <toros> I am also active in organising release parties and other kind of Ubuntu and open source related events. Next monday we will have a meeting for open source enthusiast, called Free Software Evenings. I am a co-organiser of this meeting (together with phanatic ;) ). In july, I will travel with other LoCo activists to a local festival, called Hegyalja Fesztivál, to propagate Ubuntu.
[19:12] <phanatic> toros is an essential member of the hungarian loco team. he's been helping new community members, and he is involved in all parts of the community.
[19:13] <Seveas> phanatic, toros: why ubuntu.hu and not ubuntu-hu.org? :)
[19:14] <toros> ubuntu.hu is more obvious for hungarian people
[19:14] <phanatic> i don't really have an explanation for that. it just happened this way. the site is actually pretty old (started back in 2005)
[19:14] <Seveas> you should at least get ubuntu-hu.org forwarded there
[19:14] <popey> toros: how many people use the blog on the site?
[19:15] <popey> http://ubuntu.hu/blog
[19:15] <stgraber> as you are an approved LoCo you really should forward ubuntu-hu.org to ubuntu.hu instead of having the current placeholders
[19:15] <phanatic> Seveas: we'll work on that
[19:15] <toros> We have more than 5000 registered users - but only about 1 percent uses the blog
[19:15] <popey> thats still pretty impressive
[19:16] <popey> do they blog directly on the site or is it aggregated via rss from their own blogs?
[19:16] <Tm_T> very good indeed
[19:16] <Seveas> +1 based largely on phanatic's testimonial. My hungarian isn't good enough to judge ubuntu.hu content :)
[19:16] <forumsmatthew> between the book, the wiki work, the loco, and the documentation work, I am definitely +1
[19:16] <PriceChild> I'm here sorry, been working outside and lost track of time.
[19:16] <toros> directly on the site
[19:16] <popey> thats great toros
[19:16] <Seveas> PriceChild, he
[19:16] <Seveas> hey
[19:16] <popey> +1 based on loco work
[19:16] <stgraber> +1, testimonials and loco work
[19:16] <toros> thanks :)
[19:16] <forumsmatthew> PriceChild, lol
[19:17] <phanatic> +1 from me of course :)
[19:17] <PriceChild> forumsmatthew: is it that hard to believe?
[19:17] <Seveas> 5 +1's
[19:17] <Seveas> PriceChild, do you want to vote?
[19:17] <forumsmatthew> PriceChild, outdoors? what's that?
[19:17] <PriceChild> I'm a +1 for toros :)
[19:17] <Seveas> k
[19:18] <Seveas> +6 then, congrats!
[19:18] <toros> thanks a lot! :)
[19:18] <forumsmatthew> congratulations!
[19:18] <Seveas> rhkfin, you're up
[19:18] <Tm_T> welcome :)
[19:18] <phanatic> congrats toros :)
[19:18] <Myrtti> congrats
[19:18] <rhkfin> Ok, hi there! I'm Risto Kurppa from Finland, physics & CS student at Uni Helsinki. I've been an active member of Ubuntu-fi since early 2006. You can see the stuff I've done on the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RistoHKurppa
[19:18] <rhkfin> I'm kind of bored of people sticking only to forums or irc and not actively try to spread Linux an OSS. One example of this is passiveness is that we currently have only three (great!) Ubuntu members in Finland. So I'm trying to get people to do other stuff do and see the bigger picture Linux and OS can have.
[19:18] <Seveas> more finnish people?
[19:18] <Seveas> Myrtti, have you been spamming again? :)
[19:19] <rhkfin> Today I started to activate women in finland.. Let's see what happens..
[19:19] <Tm_T> Seveas: no she hasnt ;)
[19:19] <Myrtti> rhkfin: I swear to Gaia no :-D
[19:19] <Tm_T> rhkfin is one of our workhorses <3
[19:19] <Myrtti> rhkfin: FOUR
[19:19] <rhkfin> :)
[19:19] <Myrtti> rhkfin: Tm_T ^
[19:19] <rhkfin> Tm_T: ah... when did it happen.. congrats..
[19:20] <forumsmatthew> I love this: "Risto's picture is used as illustration to Code of Conduct"
[19:20] <Seveas> Myrtti, would you vote +1 for rhkfin ?
[19:20] <rhkfin> so, questions anyone?
[19:20] <Tm_T> rhkfin: I was the first
[19:20] <Myrtti> Seveas: I would
[19:20] <rhkfin> Tm_T: oh..
[19:20] <popey> rhkfin: how often would you be releasing your podcast?
[19:20] <Tm_T> Seveas: 100 % sure +1 from me
[19:21] <rhkfin> popey: IT's been only 4 times so far (in a year or so), next episode is about to be released. I'd wish more people participating there..
[19:21] <Seveas>   +1 from me
[19:21] <rhkfin> But I think once a month is a max the community can do..
[19:21] <forumsmatthew> +1
[19:21] <Myrtti> rhkfin: don't you even dare asking me... ;-)
[19:21] <popey> ( I wont say we do two a month ;) )
[19:21] <rhkfin> Myrtti: no, I'm waiting for people to let me know they want to do it :)
[19:21] <Myrtti> I even took a piccie of Risto at Hardy release fest...
[19:22] <rhkfin> popey: yeah, I'm jeallous..
[19:22] <Tm_T> Myrtti: evidence :)
[19:22] <rhkfin> Yep, the next episode will be Mirv (Timo Jyrinki) presenting Ubuntu at the release party
[19:22] <Myrtti> http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/2442088341/
[19:22] <rhkfin> So, more questions.. ?
[19:22] <rhkfin> Myrtti: that's mean :)
[19:22] <Myrtti> Mirv is in the right and rhkfin on the left
[19:22] <popey> rhkfin: i see you have done some translation, is that something you plan to do more of, or is your language well covered?
[19:22] <Myrtti> rhkfin: :-P
[19:24] <phanatic> +1 for the huge amount of community work
[19:24] <rhkfin> thanks!
[19:24] <Tm_T> popey: it's not well covered yet, but we try to do as much as possible in small prints in time to time, similar to hug (bug) days, he's there atleast then I keep sure of it
[19:25] <Myrtti> there he is, just in time :-P
[19:25] <Mirv> yay for rhkfin from here :)

[19:26] <forumsmatthew> congratulations!
