| cprofitt | hello pleia2 sorry I am late | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| cprofitt | bodhi_zazen: bodhizazen did we have a meeting? | 00:15 |
| cprofitt | hey dinda how are you? | 00:22 |
| dinda | cprofitt: not too bad, how goes things here? | 00:22 |
| cprofitt | things are going well... | 00:23 |
| cprofitt | have you taken a look at our Moodle site recently? | 00:23 |
| cprofitt | http://learn.ufbt.net/ | 00:24 |
| dinda | cprofitt: not lately | 00:25 |
| cprofitt | Worth checking out then... | 00:26 |
| cprofitt | we have refocused on building some courses on how to 'write courses' using Moodle, asciidoc and Bzr | 00:27 |
| cprofitt | My hope is that once we give people the blue print for producing courses that we can recruit some folks to start writing additional courses. | 00:27 |
| dinda | cprofitt: nice to see some content in there! | 00:28 |
| cprofitt | yeah... and doctormo has 9 courses written on his blog that we need to convert as well. | 00:29 |
| cprofitt | So we are starting to move in the right direction. | 00:29 |
| dinda | sounds promising | 00:29 |
| cprofitt | brb gotta tuck kids in | 00:43 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: no meeting, I think we're shooting for "sometime this evening when we can get the board together" | 01:01 |
| cprofitt | pleia2: ok -- topic = bodhi? | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 01:02 |

| JerVA | I'm interested in joining ubuntu learning classroom | 14:12 |
| pleia2 | hi JerVA | 14:15 |
| JerVA | Hello | 14:15 |
| pleia2 | JerVA: are you interested in teaching classes in #ubuntu-classroom or recruiting others to? | 14:16 |
| JerVA | I am just interested in learning about ubuntu | 14:17 |
| JerVA | Not teaching classroom | 14:17 |
| pleia2 | ah ok, for Classroom you just wait until there are classes being held - they are often advertised on fridge.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom is updated when we have classes | 14:18 |
| pleia2 | (nothing is scheduled at the moment) | 14:18 |
| mhall119|work | JerVA: are you involved with a LoCo? | 14:19 |
| JerVA | No. | 14:19 |
| pleia2 | Local/Community (LoCo) teams are a great way to learn from people | 14:20 |
| pleia2 | JerVA: where are you located? | 14:20 |
| JerVA | Virginia | 14:20 |
| JerVA | USA | 14:20 |
| pleia2 | this project just develops coursework, it's up to LoCo teams and other groups to teach it (we'll also have a Moodle self-learning portion of the project, but that's still in its infancy) | 14:21 |
| JerVA | it sounds like it is learning portal | 14:21 |
| JerVA | online learning that is, right? | 14:21 |
| mhall119|work | #ubuntu-classroom does that | 14:21 |
| mhall119|work | JerVA: ubuntu-learning is a project to create teaching material | 14:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, #ubuntu-classroom has Ubuntu classes, and Moodle is the online learning thing - but we don't have many classes up on Moodle yet | 14:22 |
| pleia2 | Might be interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirginiaTeam ..or depending on how close you are to DC: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DCTeam | 14:22 |
| JerVA | I am closer to DC as well | 14:23 |
| mhall119|work | JerVA: you can join #ubuntu-us-va to chat with local users | 14:23 |
| JerVA | wonderful! | 14:25 |
| JerVA | I am really interested in changing from XP to Ubuntu | 14:25 |
| pleia2 | there is also #ubuntu-dc | 14:27 |
| mhall119|work | pleia2: I wanted to let you know that I haven't lost interest in ubuntu-learning | 14:28 |
| mhall119|work | it's just been a crazy week for me with work and midterms at school | 14:28 |
| pleia2 | mhall119|work: understandable, thanks | 14:28 |
| pleia2 | I'm getting ready for UDS next week and have a bunch going on at work, so I've been equally unresponsive | 14:28 |
| pleia2 | are you or michelle going to UDS? | 14:28 |
| mhall119|work | yeah, I understand things get crazy around UDS time | 14:29 |
| mhall119|work | pleia2: unfortunately no | 14:29 |
| wrst | mhall119|work: i've been hanging around for a while here do i take it the purpose is to help develop learning materials etc? | 14:29 |
| mhall119|work | we've been going too much lately, we both need to take a break before we burn out | 14:29 |
| pleia2 | wrst: yep, it's outlined on the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | 14:29 |
| pleia2 | mhall119|work: good plan :) | 14:29 |
| wrst | ok been checking some of that out what exactly do members do? | 14:29 |
| mhall119|work | did you see our party pictures? | 14:30 |
| pleia2 | wrst: some of us write courses, some of us recruit brilliant minds to write courses | 14:30 |
| mhall119|work | some of us will be converting ODF content to asciidoc | 14:31 |
| wrst | so great and wonderful knowledge isn't exactly required? | 14:33 |
| wrst | needed but not required i should have said :) | 14:33 |
| pleia2 | right | 14:34 |
| pleia2 | also course review, testing (so we need newbies too to tell us if the courses make sense to them) | 14:34 |
| wrst | i could do that :) | 14:35 |
| wrst | i'm not a newbie but i'm certainly not advanced | 14:36 |
| JerVA | I'd say I'm in between newbie to intermediate | 14:47 |
| wrst | intermediate... yeah JerVA :) | 14:51 |
| ZachK_ | WWWWWWOOOOOTTTTT | 14:51 |
| wrst | interestingly enough it seems a lot of times there's info for the very new and the very experineced | 14:51 |
| ZachK_ | sorry pleia2 couldn't help maself | 14:51 |
| JerVA | With what kind of cognition I have I just help out in forums and support so I can learn on my own and I prefer to learn from others too | 14:52 |
| JerVA | my former job I did the same - technical support | 14:52 |
| pleia2 | wrst: I think that's because it's the easiest to write, writing intermediate stuff is tricky | 14:52 |
| wrst | that's a good point pleia2 its easy ( to some extent ) to dumb stuff down and the very technical is well very technical but for intermediate where is the balancing act | 14:53 |

| doctormo | Afternoon swoody, sorry for being late, I promised to check in with you on Monday. How are things going? | 19:32 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: ping | 21:13 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: hey! | 21:13 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: hello :) | 21:13 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: sorry about yday, my glasses broke and I had to get it fixed | 21:14 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: were u able to review what I've written so far? | 21:14 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Yes, the first 5 parts right? | 21:18 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: yah | 21:19 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Yes I have reviewed them | 21:19 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: any changes I have to make in the style? | 21:19 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: One problem I see is that the seperation between overview and practical isn't destinct yet, in section 02 you give the command (which is fine) but the language is almost instructional instead of descriptive. | 21:21 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I'll make some changes to them today. then go ahead with the remaining | 21:22 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Not that it really matters too much for the first draft of course, I just want to make sure _I_ understand what the difference is. | 21:23 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: :) I'm still the budding guinea pig :P | 21:23 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: what would be better completing everything and then making changes or trying to correct and then finish? | 21:24 |
| doctormo | So there is an overview which describes the concepts of what your about to do and any theory "This thing is like that", but you'd never mention "you" or "I". Then the practical can actually describe the actions in terms of "you must do this or that" so you don't just have to have bullet points for the practical if you don't want to be brief. | 21:24 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: It's up to you, you can change it as you want. I just want to describe some stuff now and you can tell me if they make sense at all. | 21:25 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I was having that doubt all along when I was doing | 21:25 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I wasnt really comfortable using "I" and "you" in overview.. | 21:26 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I'll try to change them today or else I wont get the workflow correct in my head at all | 21:26 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Aye, your gut was right :-) let me know how it goes. | 21:26 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: sorry, webchat stopped working | 21:30 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: the last thing I said was [16:26] <doctormo> nigel_nb: Aye, your gut was right :-) let me know how it goes. | 21:30 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: i got that | 21:31 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: what i posted wasn't getting on the chat | 21:31 |
| doctormo | Ah, repost to me if you can | 21:31 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: did u get the part about me being at work? | 21:31 |
| doctormo | no | 21:31 |
| nigel_nb | oh, okay... | 21:31 |
| doctormo | What I said was the last thing | 21:31 |
| nigel_nb | i'm at work right now, when i get home (in around 4 hours), we'll work this | 21:32 |
| nigel_nb | you probably need to ask pleia2 to add styles into her getting started guide | 21:32 |
| nigel_nb | it would help | 21:32 |
| nigel_nb | as in writing styles | 21:33 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I'll see you in a few hours | 21:42 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: will you have some time today? | 21:42 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: hopefully, although I'll be at the SETC teaching desktop this evening, so maybe not. | 21:43 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: I'll push the changes i make then...and you can review them later | 21:43 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Thanks a lot man. | 21:43 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: happy to help :) | 21:44 |
| doctormo | :-) | 21:44 |
