[16:08] <Turl1> hi newz2000
[16:08] <newz2000> hey Turl1
[16:08] <Turl1> will the "automatic mirror selection" be ready for Jaunty?
[16:08] <newz2000> No, but I'm hoping step one of "automatic mirror suggestion" will be ready.
[16:09] <Turl> what's the step one?
[16:09] <newz2000> Step one is migrate to Drupal 6 which I'm working on right now
[16:10] <newz2000> I hope to be on Drupal 6 by beta release with the theme and ubuntu mirrors module ported over.
[16:10] <Turl> never liked drupal, even if I never used it heavily :p
[16:10] <newz2000> I wish there was a perfect open source CMS, haven't found one though
[16:11] <Turl> yeah, Joomla is too heavy, for example
[16:11] <Turl> have you ever tried XOOPS?
[16:11] <newz2000> yes, I tried it a while back
[16:12] <newz2000> but it's been a while
[16:12] <Turl> what about xoops cube? http://xoopscube.org/
[16:12] <newz2000> no, haven't seen it
[16:13] <newz2000> I'm too heavily invested in Drupal now to change. The only thing that would probably convince me is if a mature and robust python based CMS popped up.
[16:13] <newz2000> (besides plone)
[16:13] <Turl> another good one is MODx, never used it, but seems to be a very good framework to work on.
[16:13] <Turl> python? you must be joking :p
[16:13] <newz2000> Canonical is very attached to Python
[16:14] <Turl> yeah I know
[16:14] <Turl> ubuntu brings python devel packages on a default install
[16:14] <Turl> :p
[16:16] <Turl> newz2000: by any chance, do you know Jamie, the ufw developer?
[16:16] <newz2000> do you know what Jamie's IRC nick is?
[16:16] <Turl> nope
[16:17] <Turl> let me see in launchpad
[16:17] <Turl> jdstrand is his nick
[16:17] <newz2000> oh, yes, I know him
[16:17] <newz2000> not well but have talked with him a few times
[16:18] <Turl> and have you heard of Gufw?
[16:19] <newz2000> no, is thata  gnome front end to it?
[16:19] <Turl> yeah
[16:19] <Turl> it's already on the repos :p
[16:24] <Turl> newz2000: check popcon2 out :) http://popcon2.ecchi.ca
[16:25] <Turl> it's quite advanced, but its development will be 'frozen' for a while (school, english classes, ...)
[16:26] <newz2000> Turl: it's either not loading or is loading very very slow for me
[16:27] <newz2000> Turl: are you learning English as a second language or are you a native speaker?
[16:27] <newz2000> (you speak on IRC like a native)
[16:27] <Turl> it might be down :/ not loading here either
[16:27] <Turl> and no, I'm not a native. My native language is Spanish
[16:28] <newz2000> Well, in writing you do very well, though admittedly IRC is not exactly the best indicator. :-)
[16:29] <Turl> :p
[16:29] <Turl> I did FCE last year, have you ever heard of it?
[16:29] <newz2000> no
[16:30] <Turl> well, it's a cambridge examination
[16:30] <Turl> First Certificate in English
[16:31] <Turl> it's B2 in the common european framework iirc
[16:32] <Turl> newz2000: the site is working again, but my DB went down
[16:35] <Turl> the vm is down and won't start :/
[16:36] <newz2000> Give me a shout when it's back up and I'll check it out.
[16:39] <Turl> I guess the kernel module needs recompiling, but I don't have sufficient privileges to do that, so I'll have to wait :p
[18:42] <Turl> newz2000: still there?
[18:42] <Turl> http://popcon2.ecchi.ca/ is back up&running :)
