You have 2 dictionaries and 2 email clients. Why are there a whole bunch of touch screen stufff when I don't know of a touch screen netbook (there may be one, just never heard of it)? Why is it not LPIA and i386 instead? Suggestions Put the installer in favouri | 08:50 |

| forumsmatthew | great!! | 20:07 |

| forumsmatthew | I don't see butterflyoffire here... | 20:10 |
| phanatic | yup | 20:10 |
| forumsmatthew | no, I would prefer that you do it...I like it when you chair. i'm just feeling impatient today | 20:10 |
| forumsmatthew | it's me, not you | 20:10 |
| forumsmatthew | too much caffeine | 20:10 |
| forumsmatthew | I will if you want me to, though | 20:11 |
| Seveas | ok | 20:11 |
| Seveas | I'll chair | 20:11 |
| forumsmatthew | okay | 20:11 |
| Seveas | LirazSiri, you're the first one for today, please introduce yourself to us in a few lines | 20:11 |
| Seveas | other candidates for today, please prepare a 3-line intro in a text editor, which you can paste in here when it is your turn | 20:12 |
| LirazSiri | Hi everyone | 20:12 |
| LirazSiri | I'm from Israel, a software developer by trade, user of Ubuntu by hobby | 20:12 |
| LirazSiri | I've also one of the founders of the TurnKey Linux project that packages Ubuntu into software appliances optimized for ease of use (www.turnkeylinux.org) | 20:13 |
| LirazSiri | and a member of the Ubuntu News Team... currently in charge of all sorts of stats | 20:13 |
| LirazSiri | (for UWN) | 20:13 |
| LirazSiri | for those who want even more information my personal homepage is at liraz.org... | 20:14 |
| LirazSiri | will that suffice for now? | 20:14 |
| Seveas | I've read your wikipage and a launchpad profile, karma 3814, but pretty much all of it is spec tracking for turnkey. That makes UWN the only contribution to ubuntu we can take into account | 20:14 |
| Seveas | Is there anyone here from the UWN team to cheer for you? | 20:14 |
| LirazSiri | unfortunately no | 20:14 |
| Pricey | What kind of "all sorts of stats"? | 20:15 |
| LirazSiri | BTW, we sort of view TurnKey Linux as an extension of the Ubuntu community... It's not an official project but at the end of the day you get a pretty standard Ubuntu server with whatever application you want running. It's neat. | 20:15 |
| Seveas | http://liraz.org/obfus.html --> I thought perl was obfuscated enough already? :) | 20:15 |
| LirazSiri | Seveas: yeah, I have eclectic hobbies | 20:16 |
| LirazSiri | :) | 20:16 |
| LirazSiri | I'm in charge of all the statistics you see in UWN | 20:16 |
| LirazSiri | about 6-7 sections usually | 20:16 |
| LirazSiri | packages and updates, USN, bugstats, translation stats.. | 20:17 |
| LirazSiri | daniel's 5-a-day | 20:17 |
| LirazSiri | it's not glamorous but somebody has to do it... :) | 20:17 |
| Seveas | true that | 20:17 |
| Seveas | I'm just not sure whether I'm willing to consider that a significant contribution. That would much depend on what other UWN editors have to say I think | 20:18 |
| LirazSiri | well I wish they were here | 20:18 |
| forumsmatthew | I like what you are doing, but it would be much easier to evaluate with a testimonial from the UWN folks, even a note on your wiki page | 20:19 |
| Seveas | LirazSiri, a short blurb on your wikipage from them will work as well | 20:19 |
| LirazSiri | hmmm... | 20:19 |
| Seveas | I'm going for +0: You seem to be doing good work, but I'd like to see that confirmed by other UWN people before I can give a +1 | 20:19 |
| LirazSiri | I guess that's my punishment for not socializing enough with my fellow team members on IRC :) | 20:20 |
| forumsmatthew | I'm hesitant because there is no independent confirmation. For now, I am +0. That isn't a negative, but I can't give an approval without some testimonial. | 20:20 |
| forumsmatthew | it's not fair that Seveas types faster than me | 20:20 |
| Seveas | LirazSiri, in a way you are right, the more you mingle within the team or the community, the better :) | 20:21 |
| Seveas | forumsmatthew, sorry mate :) | 20:21 |
| forumsmatthew | :) | 20:21 |
| Seveas | phanatic, Pricey ? | 20:21 |
| Pricey | See now I typed out a paragraph saying that, but Seveas beat me. | 20:21 |
| LirazSiri | Seveas: I know, but IRC is such a huge time sink... bah, haven't gotten around to it | 20:21 |
| phanatic | just wanted to say the same as well | 20:21 |
| phanatic | +0 | 20:21 |
| Pricey | I'm afraid I agree LirazSiri, and I would like to see testimonials from the uwn folks at the least when you come back to us soon! :) | 20:22 |
| Seveas | LirazSiri, so to summarize, please keep up the good work, get some of the other editors to cheer for you and next time you're in :) | 20:22 |
| LirazSiri | alright guys, thank you for your consideration | 20:22 |
| forumsmatthew | LirazSiri, you don't have to hang out in IRC. You could have the UWN guys post a quick note on your wiki page | 20:22 |
| Seveas | larslj, you're up next | 20:22 |
| forumsmatthew | send them a note saying you are applying for membership and ask if they can help | 20:22 |
| larslj | Hi everyone | 20:23 |
| larslj | My name is Lars Ljung and I'm a server administrator for the Swedish LoCo web server. I'm also an very active member of the forum where I'm trying to help both beginners and more experienced users. | 20:23 |
| LirazSiri | forumsmatthew: got it. thanks guys | 20:23 |
| Seveas | larslj, your wikipage is really short, can you give some more details about your work, or maybe a link to a forum profile? | 20:24 |
| forumsmatthew | I see you have a testimonial from yeager. Is yeager an Ubuntu member? Do you have a link to his wiki/launchpad page? | 20:25 |
| Seveas | https://edge.launchpad.net/~yeager | 20:25 |
| larslj | My contributions are mostly in Swedish, the forum profile is at http://ubuntu-se.org/phpBB3/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2195 | 20:25 |
| forumsmatthew | thanks | 20:25 |
| larslj | https://launchpad.net/~yeager | 20:25 |
| Seveas | I remember when yeager was approved :) | 20:26 |
| forumsmatthew | I probably should... | 20:26 |
| Seveas | drat. That forum wants me to log in before I can see the profile. | 20:26 |
| phanatic | he's a pretty awesome translator | 20:26 |
| larslj | Seveas: aha, too bad, 4661 post since Jan-07 if you take my word for it | 20:27 |
| Seveas | I managed to grasp enough swedish to register :) | 20:28 |
| andol | I'm a fellow server administratior and member of the Swedish LoCo. If it helps I can testimate to Lars forum contributions. | 20:28 |
| larslj | thanks andol :) | 20:28 |
| Nafallo | Seveas: hehe. nice e-mail address ;-) | 20:28 |
| Seveas | ey Nafallo | 20:29 |
| Seveas | are you here to cheer as well? :) | 20:29 |
| Pricey | Hey Nafallo, do you have anything to say? | 20:29 |
| Nafallo | Seveas, Pricey: hmm. haven't really been involved in looking at the server more than the hosting I'm afraid. | 20:30 |

| === zul_ is now known as zul | ||
| forumsmatthew | I am pretty familiar with forum work. The administration of the loco server is a good contribution, too. The testimonies of yeager, and now andol, are useful to me. If the post count is accurate, I'm +1 | 20:30 |
| Seveas | I'm going for +1 anyway, cheer from yaeger and from a co-admin, good post count (though I can't understand a word of it) | 20:30 |

| Seveas | larslj, feel free to delete my account on the forums again (user 'seveas', just registered ;)) | 20:31 |

| Seveas | forumsmatthew, the profile also shows he's an admin and posts mostly in the server forum. Hard to fill almost 5000 posts with gibberish I'd say :) | 20:32 |
| forumsmatthew | agreed | 20:32 |
| Seveas | Pricey, phanatic? | 20:32 |

| phanatic | larslj: very nice, congratulations and welcome :) | 20:34 |
| forestpixie | Hi, I'm 46 acting like a 20 year old, I have no formal IT training and all I know has been self learnt. I've been using Ubuntu since May 07 - I am a member of the forum Beginner Team and the Unanswered Post team. Also I am in a few of the UFBT focus groups - Education and IRC help. I have been involved in lessons on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom - I ran a fdisk/fstab/chmod/chown session a short while ago - the hope is to run it every 6 mon | 20:34 |
| forestpixie | ths to coincide with Ubuntu releases. I have started to migrate my session to a wiki based groups of lessons which will be obviously be available more frequently. I have recently joined the wiki focus group and hope to get involved with that more shortly. I don't program or anything like that - all of my contributions have been in helping other users. | 20:34 |
| Seveas | "I had a near miss causing all my previous contributions to the forum to be mislaid - good job Matthew was there to pick up the pieces" | 20:34 |
| Seveas | just curious, what happened? | 20:35 |
| forestpixie | :) | 20:35 |
| forumsmatthew | I posted a testimonial on his wiki page at the bottom with details | 20:35 |
| forestpixie | someone died - I found the thread - reported it and then I got dealt with accidentally | 20:35 |
| forestpixie | great fun lol | 20:35 |

| drubin | Hi my name is David Rubin, I am a 22 year old Mobile Developer and Open source enthusiast. I started using linux because work dictated our servers were Centos to gain a better understanding I installed ubuntu as my primary desktop OS. This was just over 2 years ago. | 20:52 |
| drubin | I struggled alot as a beginner and understand how hard it can be to change over hence my reasoning for helping out new comers the way I do. Even though I am a Developer my main contributions are to the home user rather then bug patching as I find this to be more rewarding personally. | 20:52 |
| lukjad007 | o/ for drubin | 20:53 |
| drubin | I also try and blog about ubuntu when I find topics that haven't been written about countless times :). | 20:53 |

| highvoltage | ok guys let's move the party to #ubuntu-za, people are trying to work here | 21:00 |
| Seveas | Mean-Machine, you're the next (and last) on the list for today | 21:00 |
| * Bodsda shuts up | 21:00 | |
| Mean-Machine | Hello! My name is Maciej Danielski and I am the LoCo Team Point of Contact for the Irish Ubuntu Community since the end of January 2008. | 21:00 |
| Mean-Machine | I first came into contact with ubuntu-ie while still living in Germany, in early summer 2007, through both IRC and the forums. I moved over to Dublin in November 2007 and started getting more and more involved with the LoCo, chairing and scheduling regular ubuntu-ie IRC meetings, throwing ideas at people like organizing ubuntu events etc. | 21:00 |
| drubin | party in #ubuntu-za and #ubuntuforums-beginners | 21:00 |
| walterl | good luck to the rest of you | 21:00 |
| Mean-Machine | My aim is to encourage the LoCo members with new projects and ideas in order to establish a stable, active and outgoing community. | 21:01 |
| Pricey | ompaul lives! haven't spoken with him in a while. | 21:02 |
| czajkowski | Pricey: he does indeed and says he totally supports Mean-Machine tonight but he's at class this evening | 21:02 |
| Mean-Machine | Pricey, indeed ompaul is alive and well | 21:02 |
| forumsmatthew | The testimonials are good | 21:02 |
| forumsmatthew | His participation in SFD was critical to it's success in Dublin | 21:03 |
| czajkowski | +1 for Mean-Machine for me, he's a great loco team point of contact here in dublin. | 21:03 |
| * Pricey looks at pictures | 21:04 | |
| Seveas | How many people are active in the irish loco? | 21:05 |
| Mean-Machine | Seveas, we have around 10 active members. | 21:05 |
| Seveas | http://www.flickr.com/photos/mean-machine/2874667227/ -- he is alive! | 21:05 |
| Seveas | I'm going for +1 after reading wiki, lp and things linked from them | 21:07 |
| Mean-Machine | 73 people are members in total in Launchpad | 21:07 |
| Mean-Machine | 89 subscribed to mailing list | 21:07 |
| forumsmatthew | I'm going to have to agree +1 | 21:08 |
| Mean-Machine | theose people still need to be encouraged tho | 21:08 |
| czajkowski | Seveas: http://pix.ie/czajkowski/688107/in/album/327350 ompaul giving a talk here for the Ubuntu-ie SFD event | 21:08 |
| Seveas | http://pix.ie/czajkowski/688105/in/album/327350 - looks like he's thinking "I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer" | 21:09 |
| czajkowski | Seveas: very possibly :) | 21:09 |
| Mean-Machine | a bit of a roadmap for the near future | 21:10 |
| Mean-Machine | I will keep trying to motivate existing members and to draw the attention of potential ones by organizing Ubuntu related events and targeting existing user groups (ILUG etc.). The next event this year will be the release party of Jaunty(+install fest?). Also, in May I'd like to run another bug jam. In early August I'm planning to organize a LoCo key signing party. Furthermore, we hope to at least repeat the success o | 21:10 |
| Mean-Machine | f last year's SoftwareFreedomDay in September '09, where I will be using existing press contacts to promote the event, and this will be followed by Ubuntu 9.10 release party in October. | 21:10 |
| Mean-Machine | Another aim for this year is to resurrect the Ubuntu Irish Translation Team. Will email all members of this team and will also ask on our mailing list if people are interested in translating Ubuntu into Irish. | 21:11 |
| Mean-Machine | At the moment I'm working on proper structuring of the Irish Team, by asking for volunteers to take over specific tasks and duties. In the near future I would like to see a number of tasks (i.e. Monthly LoCo Reports, Hosting IRC Meetings, Mailing List Moderation, Wiki Maintenance etc.) delegated to either individuals or groups, so we can work as an efficient and well organized team. | 21:11 |
| Pricey | Its great to see photos of successful events like that and you've got some good testimonials too so I'm happy to +1. | 21:13 |
| Seveas | phanatic, ? | 21:13 |
