cprofittVantrax|Work, doctormo do we need to have this discussion in #ubuntu-meeting or should we move it in here...01:20
cprofittI have no opinion on the matter...01:20
cprofittbut thought I should ask01:20
pleia2the meeting is tomorrow...01:21
doctormopleia2: that explains it01:21
doctormoWhy Tuesday btw?01:21
pleia2doctormo: this is too short notice + we need to mix up days a bit01:22
doctormoaye01:22
cprofittpleia2, the topic has both days... Monday and 7th01:22
cprofittso I was confused01:22
pleia2anyway, I'm not available right now01:22
doctormopleia2: No problem, tomorrow it is01:22
cprofittwe have no topics...01:23
cprofittshould we just schedule for next week?01:23
cprofittthat way everyone has more time01:23
cprofittNext Meeting: Monday July 7th @ 8pm EDT01:23
cprofittthat made it confusing...01:23
pleia2sorry, it was correct on the calendar, wiki and the dates were right01:24
pleia2just missed that part of the topic01:24
cprofittno problem...01:24
pleia212:26:59 < cprofitt> pleia2, - next meeting?01:24
pleia212:28:06 < pleia2> cprofitt: hm, tomorrow evening at 8 EDT?01:24
cprofittdespite that we have no agenda for tomorrow01:24
pleia2so I thought we were on the same page :)01:24
cprofittI thought so as well... until I read the topic01:25
pleia2yeah, I figured we would fill in the Agenda like last time01:25
cprofittI agree about things being short notice...01:25
cprofittand can meet this week or next week... its all sixes for me01:25
pleia2if no one has anything to talk about we don't have to have one, but our agenda wasn't filled in until last minute last meeting either01:26
pleia2so I wasn't sure if people were just holding up again01:26
cprofittwell... we can 'call' it tomorrow if there are no topics... so no big deal01:27
pleia2k01:27
=== pleia2 changed the topic of #ubuntu-learning to: Ubuntu Community Learning Project | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | Next Meeting: Tuesday July 7th @ 8pm EDT (00:00 UTC July 8th) | Support in #ubuntu
doctormopleia2, cprofitt: I think we're reaching the point where we don't need as much organising, but we do need more "getting on with it" working01:29
doctormoMaybe we're at a bottlenec01:29
pleia2doctormo: me too, but I was told we "have to wait on licensing"01:29
cprofittdoctormo, we still need to solve the licensing01:29
cprofittand the server hosting01:29
cprofittuntil those two are nailed down I do not think we can 'move' forward01:30
cprofittas painful as that fact is...01:30
cprofittit would just not make sense to move forward without that resolved01:30
pleia2cprofitt: do you know where mootbot minutes are posted?01:30
cprofittpleia2, not off the top of my head01:30
cprofittto be honest each time I look for them I never find them despite going to where it tells me01:31
pleia2me too01:31
pleia2I thought there was a secret I was missing :)01:32
cprofittI am a month out from a rather major local event too... so I am going to be a bit distracted with that01:32
cprofitttrying to get demo units in from System76 and arrange a college professor to come and speak01:32
cprofittI am pissed off that my local school does not have a computer programming course anymore...01:33
cprofittand that is next on my agenda...01:33
cprofittsorry for rambling on about that...01:33
pleia2cool about the demo (not cool about lack of programming course, what's up with that?)01:34
cprofittI just think it is a sad state of affairs that the people that made fun of us "geeks" while we were in schools give lip service to saying that computer are important in education, but because they have no clue how to actually use them they shy away from doing anything much beyond replacing the typewriter with them01:34
cprofittwell the college board (AP) only accepts java01:34
cprofittso the school taught only java -- bad intro to comp sci language in my opinion01:35
Vantrax|Workfor the theme atm im focusing on getting it looking right, then the links right, then the menus showing right01:35
pleia2wow01:35
cprofittso they killed the course...01:35
cprofittthat and the teachers teaching it really could only do what was in the book...01:35
cprofittso the course was boring as heck for the kids who really wanted to program01:35
pleia2yeesh01:36
cprofittI work there... so I can not rock the boat too badly01:37
* pleia2 nods01:37
doctormocprofitt: I've been at jobs where my main function of boat rocker, you kind of have to sometimes.01:37
cprofittdoctormo, in a school district where I have no 'union' protection and the teachers do...01:38
cprofittI am just a glorified digital janitor to them01:38
pleia2hehe "digital janitor"01:39
cprofittI actually had a teacher assume I had no bachelors degree01:40
cprofittfunny thing was that she went to the same school I did for her undergrad01:40
