[16:23] if so, should mention it :) [16:23] pleia2: True, I took off the free tag from the previous design [16:30] pleia2: Is organiser in american spelt with a z? [16:30] yes [16:36] doctormo, nice poster [16:36] doctormo, did I show you my new desktop? [16:36] doctormo, can peoplefrom remote location participate? [16:37] Severity1: In this class no, it's a physical class, but I plan on processing one section at a time and I'll try and get introductions and course materials online if you want to keep up [16:37] Oh by course introductions, I mean video [16:38] doctormo, tell me what you think -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7563229&postcount=224 [16:38] cprofitt, pleia2: revision 2 btw [16:38] ahhhh thanks! im sure many will be interested! ^^ [16:38] I do believe in Amerglish its with a Z [16:40] doctormo: I think an additional attention-grabbing "Free!" tag would be useful, "Free" is too ambiguous a term in that context (could mean that there are training sessions on free-as-in-speech systems) [16:41] pleia2: I'm trying to balance, I had an attention grabbing Free tag just a second ago, but advice from other community center teachers has made me rethink it since it'd attract people who are not interested in the course, they just know it's free. [16:42] LUGs don't have that problem [16:42] we put "Free!" on all our stuff [16:42] or Libre [16:42] (and people *still* ask) [16:43] but I think it helps a little :) [16:43] people do loove free stuff [16:44] I have just never seen it be a problem in practice [16:44] pleia2: I'm not sure what LUGs are like outside of Boston, but here the LUG is doing well if they message their own mailing list, let along others or posters. [16:45] doctormo: the philadelphia lug has about 700 members, 3 meetings per month, we sometimes have events with posters :) [16:45] we're big [16:45] one of the largest and most active in the world [16:49] pleia2: My LoCo tends to stay away from the BLU (Boston LUG) it's stuffy, technical, none advocacy, not really interested in fresh blood, but then it is old. [16:50] doctormo: yeah, it helps that I run PLUG [16:50] it's still quite technical, but I have pulled it in the direction of less stuffy, and more advocacy [16:50] (mostly because that's more fun, for me) [16:52] doctormo, I would not make it free [16:53] doctormo, the advice I had from some organizers is charge $5 to reserve the seat and then refund the money when they show [16:53] that way you do not get people signing up and NOT attending [16:54] others also talk about 'value' - people devalue 'free' things [16:55] yeah, I have heard that argument as well [16:55] pleia2: you heard that from me! [16:55] cprofitt: Yes I understand that [16:56] doctormo: actually I think the first time was from emmajane :) [16:57] :-P [16:58] cprofitt: It's sometimes worth just pushing the money into refreshments :-D [16:58] mmm refreshments [17:01] cprofitt: That screen is bueatiful by the way [20:04] http://divajutta.com/doctormo/sysadmin-poster.svg [20:52] doctormo: nice =) I still hate how the word 'daemons' has somehow transferred to 'services'..ugh. [20:52] see that everywhere now [20:54] Lns: Services and Daemons are not the same thing, services can mean anything from disk space or ldap and doesn't really mean the running process. [20:55] doctormo: Gnome's "System -> Administration -> Services" app begs to differ [20:55] Meh, close relationship [21:21] daemon is greek for life [21:22] daemons are processes that "live" without explicit users running or using them [21:41] pwnguin: interesting === Severity-Logging is now known as Severity1
