You're in #ubuntu-classroom, not in #ubuntu. You should be asking this question in #ubuntu. [07:51] wvdial does not detects my cdma modem its a Huawei 2258 cdma phone with internet capabilities [07:52] sorry [07:52] how do i go to #ubuntu i am using opera browser for this irc chat [07:53] How did you get here? [07:55] there was a list of rooms and i clicked on classroom [07:55] Well, click on the one that is just #ubuntu. [07:56] yea i am there now [07:56] but none seems intrested [07:59] ok thanks bye === croppa_ is now known as croppa [18:03] hello everyone! [18:04] Aloha [18:04] hi ianto [18:05] hi effie_jayx [18:05] hello [18:06] so how are you guys doing? All set up for the UGJ events? [18:07] Yeah Cymru is all set up [18:07] pretty much [18:07] \o/ [18:08] * dpm just realises that the UGJ meeting is in 1h, but it's good to know that you're pretty much set up :) [18:58] alright, Global Jam Discussion in about 3 minutes [18:58] who's around [18:58] * ianto stands up [18:59] woo hoo [19:00] aloha [19:00] alright! Let's give it a minute or two for the stragglers [19:01] czajkowski: now would be a good time to make an announcement about Arthur's Day [19:03] ok, let's begin, who's here, I'm Jorge from ubuntu-us-mi. [19:03] I'm Chris from ubuntu-cym [19:04] jcastro: To arthur :D [19:04] Guinness stor has over 250 people at it drinking! [19:04] I'm Lyz from Pennsylvania :) [19:04] I stayed in to do NGO interviews! [19:04] i am philip also from ubuntu-cym [19:04] I'm laura from Ireland [19:05] ok so [19:05] by now most everyone should be in the final or near-final stages of their planning [19:05] anyone have any "OMG!"'s or anything out of the ordinary? [19:06] our venue got pulled last saturday so now we're working on a plan B, may not be able to do all 3 days though [19:06] but we're working on it [19:07] you were planning on meeting all three days? wow. [19:07] we;'re only doing a few hours on one day [19:07] I have something I'd like to run past the group [19:07] so, with the jam being around beta [19:07] and release parties coming shortly afterwards [19:07] jcastro: just the sat and sunday [19:07] do you guys think that would dilute one or the other? [19:08] so for example "Let's not do a jam, let's do a release party instead" or the other way around? [19:08] jcastro: the Florida team has had to deal with that, since FLS is on the 24th as well [19:08] or do you think most locos wouldn't mind doing 2 events so close to each other? [19:09] No because the jam is a get together for the purpose of improving ubuntu, and the release party is more like a drink in a pub, nobody's going to miss that :P [19:09] I dont think mind as such, just getting people to come to both can be a bot tricky thats' 2 weekends taken up. [19:09] the events aren't the issue, the travel is. Making a 2 hour drive is fine once a month, but 2 weekends in a row and it can be costly [19:09] can be a bit hard [19:09] we've been too busy with fair booths to even think much about a release party yet this month... :-/ [19:10] well, I think that a loco getting together should like "count" for something [19:10] agreed jcastro [19:10] so like, you might not have a release party but you did a booth at a linuxfest or soemthing [19:11] I think that a Jam is more important for a LoCo than a release party. Parties come and go and not all members are too fussed about new releases but at least in a Jam teams get to work together [19:11] ianto: yeah but in many ways the social bonds are just as important as the technology [19:11] release parties have always been a good way to get new users and future users into the group [19:12] right [19:12] yup, [19:12] if we only got together to work on ubuntu people would go insane [19:12] we've gotten more members from the party or people seeing us having cd burning and pub quiz then jamming [19:13] There's nothing wrong with doing both parties and jams, it's just the proximity that is making people have to choose between attending one or the other [19:13] if the UGJ was about a month earlier, it would be easier [19:14] I'm with mhall119|work on this this. they are a tad close, but there's not much you can really do is there. perhaps spread them out by a month would help [19:14] czajkowski: haha a pub quiz is awesome [19:14] ok [19:14] I think it's useful to have the jam right after beta though for hw submissions [19:14] though I can see a benefit to both [19:14] next time, I wouldn't reschedule the UGJ now [19:14] and ubuntu pub quiz, :) #ubuntu-trivia, [19:14] or we could uncouple the jam from the release more, but I don't know about that [19:15] jcastro: aye, we had one question, name all the release names and what did sabdfl stand for [19:15] jcastro: just need enough room for people to recover [19:15] shudda seen the answers [19:15] heh [19:15] I can imagine [19:16] ok, so, I think discussing the Jam date is a good UDS topic [19:16] I think overall this year we were way more prepared than last time [19:16] so I think that's a good sustainable thing [19:16] yes [19:18] any other ideas or topics? [19:18] we seem to be running too smoothly to have any issues [19:18] either that or we're not getting enough teams to participate, heh [19:18] jcastro: shhh don't jinx it [19:18] jcastro: will the lp server stay up on the day :p [19:18] Other than of course fixing Ubuntu, have other teams planned any additional stuff like competitions or key signing etc/ [19:18] well, it's post lp-3.0 so cross your fingers [19:19] one group was looking at a marketing(!) jam [19:19] an idea i though of, when we had out meeting about this in ubuntu-cym the other day, is a voip connection to jam, for those that cant attend. [19:19] well, once we iron out empathy voip we should be good [19:19] :) [19:19] for next cycle though. :-/ [19:19] yes. [19:19] I am wondering if any group is going to live ustream or something [19:20] jcastro: ubuntu-cym had that idea. [19:20] would be deadly if folks could see other jams going on [19:20] indeed [19:20] and fun, [19:20] we should Just Try It on that day [19:21] I bet if one group does it everyone will just start doing it [19:21] remote participation. [19:21] kind of like a viral video thing [19:21] jcastro: live streaming to multiple people over a free WiFi? [19:21] jcastro: Is tehre gonna be an #ubuntu-jam chanel or siilar? [19:21] mhall119|work: well, depends on the venue of course [19:21] *similar [19:22] ianto: I don't think so, last time we just hung out in -bugs, or whichever channel you were participating in [19:22] though I don't think it would hurt [19:22] or even just -locoteams [19:22] it's where everyone is [19:22] you know what, not another channel, let's get the good stuff in -locoteams [19:22] yeah! [19:22] and would be nice to see more activity in there [19:22] jcastro: Last time was focused on one section though but I think a general channel would be good [19:22] it does lack at times [19:22] indeed [19:22] since this is loco oriented I think -locoteams is appropriate [19:22] jono dented it one day and we got loads in , we really should encourage our teams to go in there [19:22] and the local channels too [19:23] indeed [19:23] Alright fair enough then :) [19:23] * jcastro edits the wiki page [19:23] any other ideas/business? [19:24] after the GJ, dont just head off home, try and stay around afterwards close the laptop [19:24] having everyone participate in -locoteams will raise awareness of the channel [19:24] and grab a drink or food and meet more of your loco [19:24] czajkowski: yeah [19:25] it's not work we're doing so we should enjoy it [19:28] Ooh an important thing, maps! [19:28] I've taken pictures of the entire capital's high street on how to get to the library for people who aren't used to Cardiff [19:28] you could have an osm party afterwards and help that group [19:29] Perhaps others might need that too ^ [19:29] osm? [19:29] From Train Station and from High St [19:29] Open Street Maps? [19:29] ah [19:51] hello [19:51] Hello there qwebirc11239 [19:52] i think i am in the right place I want to learn about building packages and helping the comm. [19:53] AH, I think that unless there is a lesson planned for that you might want to go to #ubuntu-motu for help on packaging [19:53] ah ok thank you === nizarus_ is now known as nizarus === a1g_ is now known as a1g
