[18:02]  * issyl0 is soo thick today :P
[18:03] <issyl0> Oh God I'm terrible.  Mind you it is Sunday and I am tired.
[18:03]  * nigel_nb thinks issyl0 is in "Hangover"
[18:03] <issyl0> Excuses excuses :P
[18:03] <issyl0> nigel_nb, I don't drink ;)
[18:03] <issyl0> But yeah i get it now

[18:04] <nigel_nb> u remind me of paul though
[18:04] <issyl0> Oh?  Who is this Paul?
[18:04] <nigel_nb> paulta g
[18:04] <nigel_nb> aw crap
[18:05] <issyl0> I'm not Paul, I'm https://launchpad.net/~isabell121
[18:05] <nigel_nb> he has a habit of /nick-ing to a pretty much funny nickname and acting dumb
[18:06] <nigel_nb> ah, you're for real :)
[18:06] <issyl0> Aaah right.
[18:06] <issyl0> Yes, I'm for real.  Haha
[18:14] <nigel_nb> issyl0: so, you're contributing to the learning project?
[18:15] <issyl0> Not really, I just joined the channel as I want to get involved in more things and wanted to explore.  What is there that I can do?
[18:15] <nigel_nb> the best person to explain is cprofit t, pleia 2, or doctormo
[18:15] <cprofitt> hello issyl0
[18:16] <nigel_nb> but in essence, we are joining hands to create materials that can be taught in classroom, IRC, and Moodle (self-paced)
[18:16] <nigel_nb> ah, cprofitt can explain it better than me
[18:16] <cprofitt> well... we need people to write courses -- Moodle or in person
[18:16] <cprofitt> we need people to 'review' courses that are written
[18:17] <cprofitt> so ensure they are of good quality
[18:17] <cprofitt> people telling us what they want developed could help too...
[18:19] <cprofitt> does that help?
[18:19] <nigel_nb> and you dont need to do all of this.. just any single area would be great
[18:20] <cprofitt> exactly
[18:20] <cprofitt> though if you want to develop several courses... and do it all we would be greatful for that as well
[18:20] <cprofitt> :-)
[18:21] <issyl0> Oh right, cool.
[18:22] <issyl0> Well I'd be happy to do the reviewing.  What courses are there already?
[18:22] <issyl0> I'm rubbish at writing/teaching, but reviewing seems good and useful.
[18:22] <nigel_nb> we have a little bit of the system administration courses
[18:24] <issyl0> Oh, where can all this be found?
[18:25] <nigel_nb> do you know how to use bzr?
[18:25] <issyl0> I've never heard of it, but I'm sure I could learn?
[18:26] <nigel_nb> yes
[18:27] <nigel_nb> bzr is a versioning system that works with launchpad
[18:27] <issyl0> Okay
[18:27] <nigel_nb> currently, we develop courses in asciidoc format and push it to launchpad
[18:27] <nigel_nb> you can see them here https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-learning-materials/
[18:27] <issyl0> Ok, will take a look
[18:28] <issyl0> Okay yep I see
[18:28] <cprofitt> nigel_nb: can you try the Moodle server and let me know if it is up
[18:28] <nigel_nb> we also have a moodle site, http://learn.ufbt.net/
[18:28] <nigel_nb> its up, your trying the wrong address cprofitt
[18:29] <nigel_nb> cprofitt: okay now i get it
[18:29] <cprofitt> url please
[18:29] <nigel_nb> its down
[18:29] <cprofitt> ok... thanks
[18:29] <issyl0> Works for me
[18:29] <nigel_nb> issyl0: do u get "It works"?
[18:30] <nigel_nb> you're supposed to see more...
[18:30] <issyl0> Yeah, I get It works1
[18:30] <issyl0> !*
[18:30] <nigel_nb> cprofitt: the moodle site itself seems to be not there
[18:30] <cprofitt> nigel_nb: yep
[18:30] <cprofitt> I hope the data is not lost
[18:30] <nigel_nb> oh oh
[18:31] <nigel_nb> that would be a nightmare
[18:31] <issyl0> :(
[18:31] <issyl0> So #ubuntu-classroom is where all the learning takes place on IRC?
[18:31] <nigel_nb> issyl0: our moodle site seems to be down unfortunately
[18:32] <nigel_nb> i guess so :)
[18:32] <issyl0> Ah well, it happens :)
[18:32] <issyl0> nigel_nb, hehe
[18:32]  * issyl0 is contemplating whether she will have enough time to contribute to this project
[18:35] <cprofitt> issyl0: you will
[18:35] <cprofitt> do not worry.
[18:35] <issyl0> Haha
[18:35] <cprofitt> even if you know nothing about Linux you can help...
[18:35] <cprofitt> seriously... we need people to take the courses...
[18:36] <cprofitt> and help us iron out the gaps, etc
[18:36]  * issyl0 uses Ubuntu, that's a start.
[18:36] <issyl0> Oh right.
[18:36] <nigel_nb> we're all busy people with real lives, but a little time every day helps
[18:36] <nigel_nb> issyl0: we both are on the same boat
[18:36] <issyl0> Yep, agreed.
[18:36] <cprofitt> so there will always be things people can help with
[18:36] <nigel_nb> I'm not an expert either
[18:36] <cprofitt> telling us what you want to learn would help
[18:37] <issyl0> cprofitt, hmm, I don't know.  I just want to get as involved as possible in projects like this, it's very interesting.  I also would like to learn more about using CLI instead of GUI, my dependance on GUI apps is scary!
[18:39] <cprofitt> ah... CLI is a good topic... I think we have that planned
[18:49] <issyl0> Cool :D
[18:51] <nigel_nb> cprofitt: didnt doctormo already cover CLI?
[18:59]  * hal14450 mmm cli is power tool goodness
[19:00] <nigel_nb> hey hal14450
[19:00] <hal14450> grep, awk, sed, sort, uniq, ...
[19:00] <hal14450> lo nigel_nb
[19:01] <nigel_nb> missed bash?
[19:01] <nigel_nb> or is it too apparent
[19:01] <hal14450> i love the cli i use it for file management
[19:02] <hal14450> it's much faster and easier imho
[19:03] <cprofitt> there are some things you can not do with the GUI too
[19:04] <hal14450> i use mc a lot in a screen session
[19:05] <hal14450> it uses fish for ssh but they're developing a newer version using rsync
[19:05] <issyl0> Ohh
[19:05]  * issyl0 likes irssi for CLI IRC
[19:05] <issyl0> Lol, Mum just looked over my shoulder and said 'you barely have time for school work, or you barely devote any time to it, you're not going to get anywhere without GCSEs so you have to work hard, so I don't think you really do have adequate amounts of time to contribute to yet another online project
[19:05] <issyl0> :P
[19:05] <issyl0> Meh.
[19:06] <hal14450> lol
[19:06] <hal14450> you type fast
[19:06] <issyl0> Nah, that was c/p'd from another conversation :
[19:06] <issyl0> :P*
[19:06] <issyl0> But i like to think i type fast
[19:07] <issyl0> I do type fast when I concentrate on typing fast, but then my capital letters go to pot.
[19:07]  * nigel_nb thinks there is always time
[19:07] <issyl0> I think my fastest WPM was 94
[19:07] <nigel_nb> issyl0: wow
[19:08] <issyl0> Yeah, I was kinda surprised too.
[19:08] <issyl0> Anyway, now I've established that I /do/ have enough time to contribute, may I join the launchpad group?
[19:09] <nigel_nb> i think u'll just have to wait for one of the board to accept you
[19:09] <issyl0> Okay.  Ah yes, like it says.  :)
[19:09] <nigel_nb> cprofitt or pleia2 could do that
[19:11] <issyl0> Joined, just need to be approved now.  I'll wait patiently :)
[19:12] <cprofitt> issyl0: approved
[19:13] <issyl0> Thanks :)
[19:14] <issyl0> Thanks cprofitt :)
[19:15] <cprofitt> you are welcome
[19:17] <nigel_nb> off to bed folk
[19:17] <nigel_nb> folks
[19:17] <nigel_nb> later :)
[19:17] <cprofitt> night
[19:17] <nigel_nb> night cprofitt
[19:23] <issyl0> bye
[19:23] <issyl0> Oh, he went
