[16:52] oh hey folks [16:52] I think we're going to settle upon Jan 23rd for User Day [16:52] 16th seems too soon [16:52] so either 23rd or 30th [16:53] FFEMTcJ: I think you had a problem work-wise with 23rd? [16:53] either one works for me [16:53] I'd have to take the day off [16:53] but i can do that [16:54] ok [16:54] When are we doing it? I mean time... [16:54] 30th i dont work [16:54] nigel_nb_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays [16:54] I don't think we've solidly settled upon times though [16:55] shoulds soon [16:55] those times look okay for me [16:56] and my tz too :) [16:56] I'll spread the word on my loco too [16:57] im fine with those times [16:57] ok, great :) [16:57] what is our strategy for finding instructors? do we have one? :) [16:57] I'm asking in my loco.. [16:57] some beginners team folks volunteered, but never added themselves to the possible instructors page [16:57] Ask other instructors who have tought in the past? [16:58] ok [16:58] pleia2: do want me to check with BT guys? [16:59] nigel_nb_: I'm emailing the list now [17:00] ah, great :) [17:00] lemme look up the meeting and see who all volunteered, I'll try to track them on IRC [17:00] I'm going to go ahead and set the time and dates in stone now unless I hear any objections in the next 5 minutes ;) [17:00] which day? [17:01] Jan 23rd [17:01] ok [17:01] if it is actually a problem for work, please say so :) [17:01] the 30th is fine too [17:03] either way [17:04] just do 23rd and ill take the day off [17:04] <_marx_> either good for me too [17:04] editing the learning page to fix broken link [17:04] * _marx_ way behind on this...getting caught up [17:04] didnt miss much [17:05] something needs to be done about the wiki [17:05] * pleia2 fixes up UserDaysTeam some [17:08] uggh [17:08] what's wrong? [17:09] anyone besides Hellow and forestpixie volunteered from BT? [17:09] waiting on the wiki [17:11] pleia2: that was fast :) [17:13] not too much on the meeting agenda tonite [17:14] today's meeting is about getting everyone up-to-date [17:14] coupla changes in the asciidoc formatting which even I'm not clear [17:14] * pleia2 adds asciidoc note to agenda [17:14] ah, good that I mentioned it then :0 [17:14] oh, BTW, do we have a "How to lead IRC classroom sessions"? [17:15] nigel_nb_: only https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Guidelines [17:15] we could do with a class for that one day [17:15] probably on our moodle [17:16] part of the "how to teach Ubuntu"? [17:16] yeah, something should be written for that [17:16] probably not for a User Day though :) [17:17] i mean, I'd like to lead, but I have no clue how, so this time I'm listening and helping with everything else [17:18] nigel_nb_: did you attend any of the open week sessions? [17:18] this is pretty much the same thing [17:18] it was at a bad time [17:18] I only read the logs [17:18] the logs give you a pretty good idea as to how it's done [17:18] you get an instructor, they blabber on about the topic for a while, take questions [17:19] you keep the typed stuff ready? [17:19] some do [17:19] I did, wrote up everything beforehand and pasted it into channel during the session, one line at a time [17:19] beats typing [17:19] but some people just do it on the fly [17:20] that was quick [17:20] I'll just wait till end of dec and take any timeslot which needs filling with a topic that needs teaching [17:20] * pleia2 is on her game this morning :) [17:20] i guess [17:20] im not.. [17:20] "the legend" is back :P [17:21] im not feeling right.. dunno why [17:24] pleia2: is making my phone go nuts [17:27] pleia2: got in touch with forestpixie [17:27] nigel_nb_: yeah, I saw [17:27] I am starting to worry that the BT participation will be very low, which is ashame [17:27] lemme wake the sleeping dogs [17:27] or whatever the saying is [17:28] :) [17:30] pleia2: User Days is part of UCLP? [17:30] nigel_nb_: we're helping it :) [17:30] ah, then lets get those people in here [17:31] those 5 mins are up, you confirming dates and times? [17:31] yep, confirmed [17:31] lemme mail my loco [17:31] Jan 23rd from 12:00-22:00 UTC [17:36] pleia2: i got a couple of testimonials [17:37] pleia2: I could use some help with drafting the mail, I'm not sure how to word it [17:37] pleia2: I can send an e-mail to the UW mailing list looking for instructors [17:40] ack [17:40] FFEMTcJ: cool :) [17:40] nigel_nb_: you can base some of it on the original email I sent to BT: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-beginners/2009-November/000100.html [17:41] Pendulum: that'd be great! [17:42] thanks, lookin [17:43] how are we going to do the "Advertise the day to the public "? [17:43] we haven't gotten that far yet :) [17:43] but blogs, twitter, mailing lists, fridge [17:43] hehe [17:43] same way UbuntuOpenWeek does [17:43] shouldn't I first announce and then ask for volunteers? [17:45] sweet.. just got an instructor, and now have a class pending wife's approval [17:52] w00t FFEMTcJ [18:00] we'll have logs of the user days right? [18:00] in case someone misses a session [18:01] i mean, the session drags from 1730 to 0330 in my tz [18:01] so someone is bound to miss the last parts [18:04] pleia2: a suggestion about the formats discussion that happened yday [18:04] yes [18:05] good, I need to assure my loco [18:05] yes, re: logs [18:06] I know, I guessed [18:21] <_marx_> time slots will be refined later? [18:24] hi [18:25] hi [18:25] FFEMTcJ, how are u [18:26] good.. yourself? [18:26] me too [18:26] what about this Ubuntu? [18:29] Hola [18:30] hi [18:31] How goes? [18:31] so so [18:31] your? [18:31] What about Ubuntu? [18:32] I am moderately neato [18:33] what is neato? [18:34] Neato is an ancient Sumarian word. It means better than average but not fantastic. [18:38] _marx_: yeah, time slots will be sorted later, I just wanted to get an idea of when people were available first thing, so we can shuffle as needed [18:38] _marx_: and thanks for adding yourself :) [18:42] <_marx_> np pleia2 I'm just looking at what doctormo has worked up; off for a bit of r-n-r now [18:49] Hey pleia2 know anyone who'd care to write a guide for generating SSH keys and uploading them to launchpad? I'd write it but I'm pretty bad with SSH Keys. >.> [18:50] BiosElement: there already is one.. on launchpad [18:50] BiosElement: I've written it alreaday [18:51] FFEMTcJ: nigel_nb_Great to hear then [18:52] nigel_nb_: link to the document in the branch? [18:52] getting it [18:53] why am I getting an internal server error when I try to see the contents of my branch.... [18:53] nigel_nb_: Probably because LP borked itself >.> [18:54] a few refreshes did the trick [18:54] lemme tell the good folks at launchpad about it though [18:58] okay, as per the guys in #launchpad, loggerhead, the BZR web interface is broken [18:59] :( [18:59] which means, you'll have to pull my branch and look inside it [18:59] bzr branch lp:~nigelbabu/ubuntu-learning-materials/bazaar-introduction [19:01] w00t, one more volunteer [19:01] Hellow will be leading a sesion [19:04] :) [19:13] BiosElement: were u able to see that ssh document?
