[18:11] <james_w> pleia2: hi, I just sent a reminder mail about tomorrow's session if you would like to moderate it.
[18:11] <pleia2> james_w: sure, just nudge me like 5 minutes before you start
[18:11] <pleia2> thanks :)
[18:15] <pleia2> james_w: oh yeah, added your address to the "accepts" list too
[18:15] <pleia2> so it won't be held for moderation next time 'round
[18:16] <james_w> great, thanks pleia2
[18:28] <persia> What is moderation?
[18:28] <persia> I'm a big fan of interactive lessons.
[18:29] <pleia2> persia: moderation is optional, decided by presenter
[18:29] <pleia2> some people like interactive, others don't like being interrupted
[18:29] <persia> OK.  I think I'd like to try without then.  I've had a few sessions now about apport and stacktraces, and have yet to have querants significantly distract.
[18:30] <pleia2> works for me :)
[18:30] <persia> Further, as I don't really have a script, other than having a selected example, it's nice to have people ask questions.
[18:30]  * pleia2 nods
[18:31] <persia> Of course, if james_w is incredibly successful with marketing, and I'm presenting to a crowd of 10.000, I may change my mind :)
[18:32] <james_w> pleia2: ah, sorry, I meant moderate the mail, not the session. They are normally small, so it's not necessary, but it's obviously up to persia.
[18:32] <james_w> pleia2: also, it may not be the best time of day for you
[18:32] <pleia2> gotcha
[18:33] <pleia2> heh, I'm always around
[18:33] <persia> pleia2: At 10:00 UTC?  Don't you like to sleep once in a while?
[18:34] <pleia2> I was up then this morning :)
[18:34] <pleia2> but FWIW - the access list allows any ubuntu member to give themselves ops here
[18:35] <pleia2> so if you guys need to change the topic, get ops during the session, etc, you can with /msg chanserv op #ubuntu-classroom
[18:35]  * persia tries to remember not to make presumptions about the preferred diurnal habits of others
[18:36] <pleia2> s/ubuntu member/ubuntu member with an ubuntu cloak
[18:37] <persia> Right.  Ubuntu Members who pay attention to IRC.  Those without cloaks may not know exactly what to do with ops :)
[18:38] <pleia2> well, some people don't *want* cloaks
[18:38] <pleia2> I've considered getting rid of mine because I like my rdns ;)
[18:38] <persia> Sure, but people with that much -fu are likely to be able to arrange ops in other ways :)
[23:14] <jp88> hi err where do i ask for help
