[21:53] Linux user since 2004 (Linux User #458827, Ubuntu User #19076). I'm interested in computer history, user support and audio/video production. Very technical but not a programmer (yet). Took a few introductory lessons in Debian packaging. [21:53] but we'll be having another meeting soon :) [21:53] I try to make myself available to help anyone who is having issues or requires help. [21:54] This allows me to get complete perspective of how the distro is used by different people, and collect opinions on specific projects. [21:54] My LoCo is Ubuntu-QC [21:54] I have organized the GlobalJam with cyphermox as well as release parties [21:54] We are working on having a weekly Ubuntu Hour [21:54] komputes: Ubuntu Hour? [21:55] I post on the forums, write solutions and am working on a ubuntu-centric blog [21:55] pleia2: an hour every week where people meet and talk ubuntu (LoCo) [21:55] Over 400 ubuntuforums.org posts [21:55] komputes, just wondering... why you didn't put your real name on the wiki/lp ? [21:55] cool idea [21:55] pleia2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour [21:55] pedro_: community [21:55] i keep them seperate, as I do not want differential treatment [21:56] I am a Member of the Unanswered Posts Team, Beginners Team, LP Beta, Bug Squad, ISO testing, Cana da and Quebec Teams [21:56] tonyyarusso: thanks :) [21:56] komputes, you've got good people backing you up, and you seem to do work in a lot of places [21:56] I'm ready [21:56] me too [21:56] I will have my LPI 1 and UCP complete by the end of the year [21:56] me too [21:56] +1 for komputes [21:57] +1 [21:57] +1 [21:57] +1 [21:57] +1 [21:57] komputes, welcome [21:57] wow, congrats komputes! \o/ [21:57] for more, please take a look at my wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/komputes [21:57] h00k, you're up! [21:57] Congrats, komputes! [21:57] felicidades Koltor [21:57] thank you guys [21:57] congrats komputes! [21:57] congrats, welcome komputes! [21:57] felicidades komputes [21:57] Greetings, greetings. [21:57] congrats komputes [21:57] pleia2: hola what i miss? [21:57] I'm a Senior Computer Science major at the University of Wisconsin - Superior. I first was introduced to Breezy Badger and have a nasty habit of upgrading before its relatively stable. I've recently become the Team Leader for the Wisconsin LoCo and planned & hosted a Karmic Release Party (Pictures: http://bit.ly/4wofdk, Blog: http://bit.ly/3EVQCg). I plan on getting Wisconsin's 87 members more active, and assisting tonyyarusso in the Ojibwe tr [21:58] My wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AnthonyHook [21:58] h00k: cut off at "tr" [21:58] ach. [21:58] Ojibwe translation. [21:58] It finished on my side :( Sorry about that! [21:58] nice photo of you and the ubuntu cake :) [21:58] So much for having it all ready... [21:58] greg-g: thanks, it was an excellent Birthday! [21:59] speaking on behalf of h00k, from what I've seen working with him over the last five years, he more or less embodies the philosophy of Ubuntu. he's worked hard to further the open-source, open-community mindset in every environment he's been in, and regularly "converts" people to the foss platform without having any conscious intent to do so. :) [21:59] as the team contact for a neighboring LoCo (-us-mn), I've had the chance to work with h00k quite a bit lately on loco issues, and saw him organize a Karmic Release Party that was rather awesome. [21:59] looking forward to seeing his work as leader of the US-Wisconsin LoCo. [21:59] h00k, how long have you been working on Ubuntu? [21:59] As it took place in Superior, which is a border city with Minnesota, is was a sort of joint event attended by people from both of our LoCos. [21:59] beuno: I've been working with it for 5 years [22:00] h00k, and on it? :) [22:00] I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but his Google Voice / libnotify app looks pretty cool, and I'm hoping we can work together to get that packaged for Karmic (I don't know if his wiki mentions it - he expressed an interest in packaging as a future plan) [22:00] beuno: and on it for approximately 5 years [22:00] h00k, for how long have you been working on Ojibwe? [22:00]
