[00:59] I borrowed the basic code from an online forum somewhere as a starting position [00:59] It has dramatically changed [01:00] If the meeting starts in an hour, it would be lovely if you could go find another channel until then - many people log this one, so trying to keep it on topic is a good idea [01:00] ok. [01:21] * vantrax waves to bodhi_zazen [01:21] vantrax, no talking, people log this channel, talk elsewhere === JanC_ is now known as JanC [02:01] hello [02:01] hi all [02:01] Hello [02:01] Hi valles_ and pleia2 [02:01] o/ [02:01] * st33med bows [02:01] * charlie-tca waves [02:01] hello [02:02] evening all [02:02] * lajjr waves [02:02] * dantalizing coughs === valles_ is now known as effie_jayx [02:03] nope [02:04] just waiting on another council member or two, and then we'll get rolling:) [02:06] pleia2: waiting on atoponce?

[02:07] heh, I was watching hulu :) [02:07] groovy [02:07] except you didnt get approved :) [02:07] because you werent there [02:07] Mentorship? [02:07] nhandler: USTeams [02:07] Ok [02:08] alright, that's 4 of us, we can get things going :) [02:08] i've been doing that ;) [02:08] pleia2, yep [02:08] * st33med twitches with stress [02:09] * bodhi_zazen slaps st33med [02:09] ok, no hikaricore again, I think I'll drop them an email [02:09] charlie-tca: you're up! [02:09] I am Charlie Kravetz, from the state of Idaho in the United States. I have been using Ubuntu and Xubuntu since 5.04 came out. [02:09] I am known as charlie-tca on the mailing lists and IRC. [02:09] I am Quality Assurance lead for Xubuntu, which also involves bug triage and testing. [02:09] johnc4510: I like working with other loco's :P - even more than my own since I tend to work with established yet unapproved locos [02:10] I test both Ubuntu and Xubuntu on a daily basis, on both hardware and software. [02:10] ok - I'll try to get the channels strait - sorry [02:10] I am an active member of ubuntu-bugsquad and bug-control. I think the work I have done in testing and bug triage has helped insure Ubuntu is a quality distribution for the end users. [02:10] I have been mainly involved in Xubuntu for the last year. I will continue working in bug triage, testing, and generally helping out where I am able to. [02:11] I prefer to pass the credit for accomplishments to those I feel better deserve it. It is very difficult to accomplish anything trying to do it alone, so the credit should go to the entire team involved. [02:11] enough? [02:11] yep [02:11] looking at your pages now :) [02:12] great xubuntu work [02:12] thanks [02:13] charlie-tca: much of your future thoughts had to do with continuing on the same stuff as you're working on now, is there other stuff you'd like to get into? [02:14] I can't do development anymore. I am getting to forgetful, so I think I have to continue with bugs and testign [02:14] I would like to be able to learn more of the triage work, network manager and firefox, in particular [02:15] impressive amount of karma, well done [02:16] pleia2, votes? [02:17] sure, I think charlie-tca has done really solid work over the years, it speaks for itself :) [02:17] +1 [02:17] +1 from me too [02:17] totally +1, keep up the good work charlie-tca [02:17] +1 [02:18] charlie-tca: congrats [02:18] congrats, welcome charlie-tca! :) [02:18] Congrats charlie-tca ! [02:18] grats charlie-tca [02:18] Thanks. It means an awful lot to me. [02:18] charlie-tca: welcome aboard :-) [02:18] congrats charlie-tca [02:18] congratz charlie-tca [02:18] congrats charlie-tca and welcome! [02:18] charlie-tca, keep up the great work and makle XUBUNTU ROCK harder man [02:18] congrates charlie-tca :) [02:18] now before moving on to the next applicant, Daviey wanted to say a few things before he falls asleep :) [02:18] Thanks to all of you. [02:18] hey pleia2, thanks [02:18] I've come to show my support for tgm4883, foxbuntu and rhpot1991. I know them through their contribution towards ubuntu-mythtv and Mythbuntu. They've been hard workers, and have showed sustained and continued effort towards the development of Mythtv on Ubuntu. They've been involved with the project now for around 2 years. Showing an all-round effort in both bug work, development and user support. [02:19] These fine chaps are part of the core Mythbuntu team, and i'm suprised they've left it this long to seek memebership. They really deserve it. I should also mention that it's 2am for me, as i really wanted to say this in person. [02:19] Daviey: shouldn't you be in bed? [02:19] nixternal: i should.. but i care about people.. :) [02:19] Daviey: thanks for staying up :) says a lot [02:19] awww, how sweet [02:19] And now to bed.. [02:19] superm1 also wanted to express his support for the mythtv people [02:19] nn all [02:19] Daviey, I am sure he will appreciate it [02:19] that speaks about their commitment, and yours:P [02:19] g'nite Davieypoo [02:20] night Daviey thanks! [02:20] xx [02:20] night Daviey, thanks [02:20] night Daviey [02:20] Hello [02:20] doctormo: you're up! [02:21] he is in Mass, so it is only 21:21 there :p [02:21] I think he is still there [02:21] I meant, it's his turn :) [02:21] I'm still in Mass, otherwise how could I be leader of ubuntu-us-ma? [02:21] OK what do you want me to do? introduction? [02:21] you would be surprised [02:21] Go to church? [02:21] introduction [02:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MartinOwens [02:22] * nixternal notes that he wants a hat like doctormo [02:22] like name etc? [02:22] My name is Martin Owens, I'm from Widnes, UK but now live in Boston, USA via marriage. [02:22] I want to say that doctormo helped me get my team going. He also contributed some material that interested a few members into my team [02:23] I'm a programmer, originally specialised in Perl with a number of cpan modules have moved on towards python development. [02:23] * nixternal thanks doctormo for the LP OpenID Django framework [02:23] I operate a number of projects on launchpad, some LoCo related, some not. [02:24] As above, I also operate the Ubuntu Massachusetts LoCo team, making sure meeting happen, things are organised and people stick to doing what they say they will do. [02:24] I'm also currently involved in bringing local Community centers into a Learn to Teach, Teach to learn project. Where FOSS and Ubuntu are taught to students who are then encouraged to teach others. [02:25] Fixing the oft neglected community center infrastructure and teaching basic systems admin skills to the staff. [02:25] doctormo, good work in the coomunity [02:25] doctormo was also the person who organized the case badges for the loco teams [02:26] I also do a bit of graphics art, for the design of posters (see spread ubuntu) and other fun arts (see deviant art) [02:26] http://doctormo.deviantart.com/ [02:27] evening [02:27] case badges! [02:27] sorry I'm late [02:27] vorian: yes [02:27] http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/ [02:27] johnc4510: i remember will [02:27] ah [02:27] that was a very fine effort doctormo [02:27] doctormo has been trying to get the badges produced by another company to save costs too [02:28] what was that site? [02:28] MTecknology: ZaReason have taken over production, hopefully they will be ready soon since they've taken delivery already [02:28] nice [02:28] I feel the need to say that those case badges are sweet and our LoCo team bought a bunch [02:29] +1 from me [02:29] I worked for Canonical as a QA guy for a short time, I can be opinionated sometimes too. [02:29] heh... [02:29] +1 [02:30] +1 from me [02:30] I +1 what doctormo said - but +1 his app too :P [02:30] solid work doctormo :) excellent work with the mass team [02:30] +1 from me [02:30] congrats doctormo [02:30] doctormo: w00t congrats! [02:30] thank you [02:30] Congrats doctormo ! [02:30] congrats and welcome doctormo! [02:30] doctormo: Congratulations! [02:30] Congratz doctormo [02:30] One step closer to ruling the world! Mwhahah [02:31] he he he [02:31] grats doctormo [02:31] One step at a time... [02:31] Thanks guys, now I can blog into the planet [02:31] woohoo :) [02:31] xq gone.. [02:31] lajjr: you're up! [02:32] thank you [02:32] doctormo, not yet [02:32] My name Leo Jackson from Scranton Pa [02:32] effie_jayx: darn, more red tape! care to PM me? [02:33] I'm a member of several groups I write software for a living. [02:33] doctormo, no red tape... we have to approve you into launchpad [02:33] effie_jayx: I explained it [02:33] I have been working on kill bus answering questions. [02:34] I want to help in the killing of bugs more and contribute more. [02:35] lajjr: in which packages do you tend to do triage? [02:35] I have put Ubuntu server on my system at my company almost completely converted and just help as much as possible. [02:35] well I try to help i them all if possible on server ubuntu i helped a few package some. [02:36] I work in firefox inkscape general question due to [02:36] lajjr: why aren't you part of the ubuntu pennsylvania team? :) [02:36] me trying to give more time to this. [02:37] I am... [02:37] hmm, I don't think I've ever seen you around [02:37] ah, you're on the launchpad team [02:37] interested in getting involved? [02:37] sure I would love to.. [02:38] should hang out in our channel :) we're a friendly bunch and really could use some people up toward scranton [02:39] not a problem I have a small bunch from my company I will get to join to. [02:39] cool :) [02:39] about 25 + [02:39] sorry small i will get others..heh [02:39] lajjr: I see you've joined a lot of teams... which ones would you say you are primarily active in? [02:40] beginners to help with question installs etc. [02:41] help in kernels to check code and security. [02:41] would you say your work primarily revolves around working within launchpad? [02:42] yes and no.. [02:42] lajjr: have you ever worked with the security team on the last one (check code and security)? [02:42] huh? [02:42] I work on ubuntu server on IRC and on gnome project back and forth.. [02:43] lajjr, what teams do you actively participate in the community. or you mainly do your contirbutions on your own [02:43] lajjr: I notice you state on your wiki page that you want to become a core developer...are you planning on joining the ubuntu-universe-contributors team, work towards MOTU, or anything packaging related? I see you are on the Ruby Packagers team, have you packaged anything for them yet? [02:43] ? [02:43] not that one I had an engagement to go to.. [02:44] yep on launch pad I have two project I'm going to package for revu and I will start kitting more.. [02:44] lajjr: I'm pretty active on #ubuntu-server and I don't rember you. What have you been doing for Ubuntu Server? [02:44] well effie_jayx I try to contribute where I find needs. [02:45] lajjr, right [02:45] answered some questions and was helping with a few people with install after they found that they downloaded the wrong version..heh [02:46] lajjr: what i see is a person from "your" LoCo, and a very active Server team developer say they havent heard of you. Why is that? [02:47] well I have been developing for my company I am starting more on the whole thing.. [02:48] I have company that I wanted to make right before I do wrong to others.. [02:48] lajjr: i think you need to get to know these folks a little better. Ubuntu membership is about being a part of the community as a whole. [02:48] Spend some time on irc with your loco team [02:48] get all the code and everything else rolling.. [02:49] or mailing lists. Submit some patches, things like that [02:49] I will not a problem. [02:49] vorian: sometimes hanging out in your LoCo Irc is lonely ;) [02:49] lol [02:49] heh [02:50] lets party in wv room [02:50] te he [02:50] lajjr: and I think you want to more specifically document your work on your wiki, you have joined a lot of teams but it's hard to pinpoint precisely what work you've done beside questions and bugs [02:50] I agree with pleia2 [02:50] ok I will change and add links.. [02:51] and don't say you're part of the Penn LoCo when you've never contributed :) [02:51] WOW... [02:52] *crickets* [02:52] *butterflies* [02:53] what's going on in here? [02:53] *ladybugs* [02:53] lajjr, well it would be cool to have you back in a couple of months [02:53] please stop with the commentary [02:53] lajjr: I think you're on a great track with questions and bugs :) please keep up the great work [02:53] lajjr: if you enjoy bugs, try to get into the bug control team [02:54] lajjr: at this time I would have to say I would like to see more contributions out of you...especially with the amount of teams you belong to and say you want to code and patch, but I can't find any traces of each right now...your answer tracking on LP, AWESOME! keep that up...get some people to endorse you and come back..that is my recommendation..you are definitely on your way [02:54] I hope that didn't get cut off [02:54] lajjr: it's usually pretty easy to contribute to loco's too [02:54] nixternal: It went through [02:54] groovy [02:55] or no problem now that I have the system down some I will. [02:55] great! [02:55] lajjr: good luck [02:55] we look forward to seeing you again soon [02:55] my vote at this time will be a -1 and want to say I would like you to come back in about a month with endorsements, hang out with the PA LoCo, and if you want to get into packaging, #ubuntu-motu :) Good work thus far! [02:56] ok thanks..will do. [02:56] lajjr: vorian is a ruby freak too, and an insane packaging guru, so he is always open to offer some help [02:56] foxbuntu: your turn! :) [02:56] * vorian nods [02:56] pleia2, ah caught me a off guard, here goes [02:56] I am Nick Fox. I have been using Ubuntu since 6.04 and working on the Mythbuntu project since the 7.04 development cycle. ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NickFox ) [02:56] wait, isn't tgm4883 next? [02:56] hehe [02:57] should I wait? [02:57] * tgm4883 hopes it wasn't an intential skip [02:57] oh [02:57] I think tgm4883 wants his turn :) [02:57] I didn't see you there tgm4883! [02:57] sorry :) [02:57] thats alright [02:57] foxbuntu, can finish since he started [02:57] ok, thanks :) [02:57] ya, it should be really quick for foxbuntu [02:57] In my time working on the Mythbuntu project as a core dev, I have helped to support, improve upon, and generate new code in an effort to make the user experience better and management of the MythTV and Ubuntu based systems easier. [02:58] I have also made an effort to triage and repair bugs when possible. When my code contribution time becomes limited I still try to make time to support users in the Mythbuntu IRC user channel. [02:58] I also make a continuing effort to support the community in ways to help promote bringing new users into the Ubuntu community. I believe so highly in the community and its efforts, that I have "put my money where my mouth is" (so to speak). I incorporated Fox Media Systems, LLC in late 2007 and began a long process to invest time and money into a dedicated, ready to use Mythbuntu based Personal Video Recorder. [02:58] hurrah mythbuntu :) [02:58] indeed [02:59] she is my mistress, at least thats what my wife thinks [02:59] :) [02:59] lol === asac_ is now known as asac [03:00] foxbuntu: future plans? [03:00] foxbuntu: did you and mario hang out when he used to frequent Iowa? [03:00] nixternal, I went to ISU with mario [03:00] that's what I thought, I have seen the pictures :D [03:00] pleia2, tons, I want to get into MOTU and also start learning about and working more with the kernel [03:01] cool [03:01] how come you waited so long to go for Ubuntu membership? Are you planning on going for MOTU and/or Core Dev? [03:01] nixternal, oh my, the pictures [03:01] hehe [03:02] +1 from me, excellent work [03:02] nixternal, honestly, I didnt think I was qualified until I sat down and looked at my work over the last few years, and yes, I want to get into MOTU and perhaps even core dev [03:02] just so everyone knows in here....I AM STARVING! MootBot make a note of that please [03:02] lol, over the last few years.... [03:02] groovy foxbuntu [03:02] +1 from me [03:02] +1 here, great work [03:02] +1 from me, fantastic work :) [03:02] +1 as well [03:03] Congrats foxbuntu [03:03] Thanks everyone [03:03] grats foxbuntu [03:03] congrats and welcome foxbuntu [03:03] +1 [03:03] foxbuntu: Congratulations [03:03] gj foxbuntu [03:03] btw the mythbuntu personal video recorder... did it get finished? [03:03] congrats, welcome foxbuntu :) [03:03] tgm4883: ok, you can go now :) [03:03] congrats foxbuntu :) [03:03] now your all in for some real trouble with me hanging around ;) [03:03] I'm Thomas Mashos, Mythbuntu developer and been using Ubuntu since Edgy. tgm4883 on IRC and the forums. Recently I'm more active on IRC in the #ubuntu-mythtv support channel, although have been pretty active on the forums in the past. It seems now I mostly just work with Mythbuntu on getting MythTV related things packaged and into the repos, failing that I stick them in a PPA. I'm also working with some other developers help [03:03] ing them package their software for inclusion in the Ubuntu repos. I run the development version of Ubuntu (stable on the rest of my machines) in the hopes of finding bugs early enough that they can be fixed before Final release. [03:04] whoa that was longer than I thought [03:04] :) [03:04] hehe [03:04] tgm4883: how often do you file and follow bug reports from ubuntu+1? [03:05] more often than not, I go to file a bug, and it's already been filed [03:05] need to speed up your crash times then :p [03:06] tgm4883: what are your plans for the future? any branching out? [03:06] tgm4883: why did you wait so long for ubuntu membership? plans for motu and/or core dev? [03:06] also, I usually do testing on the dev versions of mythbuntu, and fix bugs there without filing the reports. This is the earliest i've run dev ubuntu on a regular machine (non vm) [03:07] In the future, I'd like to become a MOTU, and go to UDS. [03:07] tgm4883: you don't need to be a MOTU to go to UDS [03:07] great stuff [03:07] even though superm1 urged me to apply for membership around 8.04 dev cycle, I didn't feel my contributions were quite there yet [03:08] doctormo: I think that was two different statements [03:08] +1 from me [03:08] +1 from me [03:08] congrats tgm4883 [03:08] doctormo, while this is true, I just (in december) graduated from college, and UDS was finals week [03:08] so it was UDS or diploma [03:08] * foxbuntu is considering the 9.10 UDS [03:08] bah, diplomas :) [03:08] grats on the diploma [03:08] thanks [03:09] foxbuntu: It's in spain, I can't leave to us until Julyish :-( [03:09] s/to us/The USA/ [03:09] doctormo, travel is not an issue for me [03:09] * doctormo demands the use of foxbuntu's teleporter [03:09] haha [03:09] 9.04 UDS pained me too, as it was about an 8 hour drive and probably the closest that UDS will get to me [03:09] awesome myth work, tgm4883! +1 from me [03:09] a +1 from here [03:09] ok ok, nuf chat [03:09] there we go..... [03:09] +1 from me too [03:09] +1 here [03:10] congrags and welcome tgm4883 [03:10] Congrats tgm4883 ! [03:10] congrats tgm4883, welcome [03:10] thanks [03:10] congrats tgm4883 [03:10] welcome and congrats tgm4883 [03:10] tgm4883: Congratulations [03:10] Congratulations tgm4883, foxbuntu [03:10] vantrax: hello :) [03:10] My name is Matthew Lye, I'm 24 year old IT Support monkey from Brisbane Australia. [03:10] I work on developing Ubuntu images for large scale education environments. I've been using Ubuntu since Mid 07. I am a member of the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team and the Unanswered Posts team. I am particularly proud of the work as part of the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team Education and IRC help groups. [03:10] I prepare tutorials and teaching materials for the Beginners Team to use to help new users understand linux and preform complex tasks. I have started to migrate website of tutorials and lessons which will be obviously be more useful to the community in the Wiki. I am currently focused on helping new users and Ubuntu for education environments, and eventually hope to contribute in improving the user experience of Ubuntu. [03:10] My wiki page if you have not seen it can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Vantrax [03:11] triage so that I can assist in getting the bugs that the new users I've been helping find to people who can solve the problems for them. [03:11] whoops missed a line [03:11] For the future I've recently asked Rocket2DMn to help me learn to triage so that I can assist in getting the bugs that the new users I've been helping find to people who can solve the problems for them. [03:12] vantrax: why in the world would you join the "Vorian Huggers" team? :p [03:12] * nixternal notes he just joined it [03:12] haha [03:12] blame nhandler for that one [03:12] ??? [03:12] vantrax: ahhhh, should have figured nhandler was behind it all! [03:12] HAHA [03:12] he he he [03:12] vantrax: robbmunson made it, not me [03:12] true [03:13] where has he been lately anyway [03:14] vantrax: what are you plans for the future? [03:15] short term, learn to triage. Long term id like to work with improving the new user experience of Ubuntu and work on making Ubuntu a attractive option for enterprise environments [03:16] groovy, and I see you want to document too :) [03:16] Unfortunately its easier to manage 1000 Window boxes than 1000 Ubuntu ones [03:16] says who? [03:16] vantrax: Have you been involved with PXE or Imaging via networks? [03:16] w00t [03:16] doctormo, tons of it [03:16] vantrax: we should talk off channel [03:16] where i work we support 6000 machines on this campus alone [03:16]
