=== swoody_ is now known as swoody === issyl0 is now known as icepick === icepick is now known as issyl0 [13:07] nigel_nb: ping [13:08] mornin [13:39] cjohnston: I take it we're extending the day? :) [13:39] Yup. [13:40] The guy I just put at 0100 originally agreed to 2300.. he said it was 0400... [13:40] my response was eeeeewwwwwwwww [13:42] ah [13:42] I still have two who haven't given me classes [13:43] * pleia2 nods [13:43] How you doin? [14:28] turns out I'm having a busy morning at work :) [14:30] you? [14:30] (and why the nick change?) [14:39] cjohnston: can we please use the ubuntu-classroom or ubuntu-learning mailing list? [14:39] I really really REALLY don't think we need another [14:39] this is what -classroom is for :) [14:40] and this new team should be owned by the classroom team [14:40] (I can handle that though) [14:42] ok [14:43] my thinking was though so that we could email all the instructors.. if they arent all on classroom or learning lists [14:44] they should be :) [14:44] making a mailing list for every group we need to email is kinda insane [14:44] understand.. [14:49] pleia2: which one do you want to use, and I will add a link to it on the page asking people to join it? (and do you have the link?) [14:49] I think we should keep using ubuntu-learning [14:50] I've been talking to jorge about phasing out the -classroom list [14:50] (since no one uses it) [14:50] ok [14:50] ubuntu-learning is where we've had discussions thus far :) [14:50] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-learning [14:50] just found it.. hehe [14:55] oh, launchpad supports the ability to email everyone in the team w/o a mailing list [14:55] you just don't set a contact [14:55] can you delete the lists you created? it'll be confusing if people try to join them [14:56] I hit delete I believe.. [14:56] I guess its waiting on the system [14:56] ok cool :) [14:57] Are the groups setup properly best you can tell? [14:58] yeah, that seems right [14:58] and I added you as an admin on classroom mgmt [14:58] ty [14:59] as admin or just member? [14:59] i dont really think it matters.. [14:59] sorry, member [14:59] no, doesn't matter really [15:00] :-) [15:00] it's a "management" team so only folks organizing things there are members anyway [15:00] right [15:01] did you see I made a team for instructors? [15:01] yep :) [15:01] I guess i would need to add you three onto that also to have admin? [15:02] yeah, if you want us to be able to approve new people [15:02] ok [15:02] I think :) [15:02] lemme see.. [15:02] I'm trying to make the -team owner of the -instructors.. [15:03] but doesnt seem to be working [15:04] ok, if you make the -team an administrator on -instructors it should work [15:04] ok [15:04] so that members on the team become admins automagically [15:05] it wont let me add -team as a member [15:07] you are admin on -inst [15:07] maybe you can figure it out [15:07] oh, you created a project, not a team [15:07] maybe? [15:07] https://edge.launchpad.net/~user-days-instructors is a team [15:07] isnt it [15:08] fergot about the coffee i made.. rbbr [15:08] brb too [15:09] we probably should have planned this out first :) [15:10] I think -team should be an administrative member of -instructors [15:10] right [15:10] I thought I had it figured out.. maybe not [15:11] https://edge.launchpad.net/~user-days-instructors/+members [15:11] ran into things that didnt do what I thought would do [15:11] add Ubuntu User Days Team as an administrator [15:12] then Ubuntu User Days Team people will be admins of instructors automagically [15:12] ok.. done [15:12] there we go :) [15:12] So I did it backwards? [15:13] yeah [15:13] :-x [15:13] Good thing I know someone smart [15:13] lol [15:14] launchpad is confusing, I just looked at how other teams do this :) [15:14] now -team says its a subteam of instructors.. [15:14] anyway, back to work for me, thanks for getting this rolling [15:14] yup [15:14] * popey has only just discovered https://edge.launchpad.net/doctemplate [15:14] which is super cool [15:14] mornin popey [15:14] o/ [15:15] oh, maybe -team needs to be the owner [15:15] to avoid that [15:16] actually [15:16] ok.. owner finally worked [15:16] uh oh [15:16] communitycouncil is listed as a subteam of all kinds of things too [15:16] and they aren't actually [15:16] * pleia2 shrugs [15:16] lp is confusing :) [15:16] I think this is fine [15:16] lmao [15:16] What is protocol.. add the people who are instructors or let them add themselves? [15:17] maybe moderated approvals? [15:17] it is moderated [15:17] people apply, we say "neat, what do you want to teach?" [15:17] then add them if they say something good [15:17] hehe [15:17] right.. im talkin about those who are already signed up to teach tho [15:17] oh [15:18] yeah, we should invite them to join the team [15:18] invite meaning? via wiki or via lp by adding them? [15:18] sorry.. dont know if there is a right or a wrong and dont want to do wrong [15:18] <_marx_> mailing list [15:18] lp adding [15:18] and make people mad [15:18] ok [15:18] hey _marx_ [15:18] they have to approve being added anyway :) [15:18] <_marx_> hey [15:18] oh they do? ok [15:18] wait, they don't [15:19] how goes _marx_ [15:19] * cjohnston confused [15:19] <_marx_> cold [15:19] I need to get back to work :( [15:19] its 64*! [15:19] ok pleia2 [15:19] <_marx_> 35 here [15:19] I'd send an email out to everyone asking them to join the ubuntu-learning mailing list and lp team [15:19] er, instructors lp team :) [15:20] now I have to collect email addresses :-P [15:20] hehehe [15:20] _marx_: NC right?

(I don't mean woman stuff like "woman stuff") [15:32] ? [15:33] ubuntu-women [15:33] Heh [15:33] looks like issyl0 got the joke [15:33] hehe [15:33] I did. [15:33] :P [15:33] ahem [15:34] ? [15:34] No worries :) [15:35] sorry, work stuff is being weird [15:36] np [15:36] (my jewish boss was unwrapping a package from a customer that was a Bible... we're not sure if it's something that's reference for something we're doing from them or not) [15:37] uummmm [15:37] lol [15:38] <_marx_> yep that qualifies as weird [15:40] well it's a christian company (i don't know if they know she's jewish or not, probably not tbh) [15:40] but no explanation, etc., just the book [15:50] email for all.. hehe [15:58] cjohnston: got sick of the questions about your IRC nick? :P [15:59] Pendulum: I think so, he stopped answering (I asked him this morning why the change ;)) [15:59] no response! [15:59] Pendulum: not yet [15:59] haha [15:59] you did? i missed it [15:59] I meant, is that why you changed? [15:59] o [15:59] lol [15:59] well.. its old.. [15:59] It should now be ENGPMcJ [16:00] heh [16:00] and then in a year ENGPMRNcJ [16:00] lol [16:00] (and, yes, I managed to decode that) [16:00] and maybe one day ENGPMCRNALCPIcJ or something [16:00] heh [16:01] since it was basically all the letters after my name, just infront of my name [16:03] at that point it might as well have been ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWZYZcJ ;) [16:04] hehehe [16:40] Who is indigo again? [16:44] mornin cprofitt [16:44] morning cjohnston [17:08] Pendulum: you still around? [17:09] or _marx_ [17:09] I am here... any assistance I can render? [17:10] cjohnston: what's up? [17:10] cprofitt: i need one of them to test something for me.. [17:10] Pendulum: https://edge.launchpad.net/~user-days-instructors [17:10] does launchpad allow you to approve paul? [17:10] cprofitt: did you get my email? [17:10] I believe I did... and responded. [17:10] are you indigo? [17:11] yes [17:11] it looks like it should, shall I go ahead and do so? [17:11] yes please [17:11] Pendulum: I just wanted to make sure it was setup right [17:11] cprofitt: ok.. forgot who indigo was [17:11] hehe [17:11] indigo196 is the name I used when I was trying to obsfucate my real name... [17:11] do you want me to approve cprofitt as well or wait for you to test _marx_ ? ;) [17:12] I was invovled with a SS investigation [17:12] if you can do it he can do it [17:12] thats right [17:12] hehe [17:12] i knew I knew who it was, just wasnt able to put irc together with email [17:12] heh [17:12] cool. [17:12] I need to sign my messages... [17:12] Evolution does NOT use aliases propoerly IMHO [17:12] I need to create a signature [17:13] instead of responding via the email it was sent to it defaults to the default email account. [17:13] which sucks [17:13] gmail allows me to change it from my default to my ubuntu [17:14] thank you Pendulum [17:14] just wanted to make sure it worked [17:14] Evolution in the previous version just used the alias or email that it had received the email on [17:14] ic [17:14] probably some minor setting to adjust [17:14] http://www.lugor.org/joomla_www/ [17:14] I havent been able to teach myself to like evolution [17:14] I have been playing with that recently though [17:15] getting my LUG moved over to something a bit easier. [17:15] http://lugor.org/ [17:15] that is the old one...

[17:42] cjohnston: yep [17:42] mailed him today and he's confirmed that he'll take the session [17:42] you want his email id?

[18:11] 2 i believe [18:11] hellow said ask again next week [18:12] and nhandler_ ? [18:14] havent talked to him [18:14] cjohnston: we could ask him to take something to with IRC probably [18:14] thats a good idea [18:14] how to behave on IRC or something like that [18:14] nhandler: ping [18:15] cjohnston: I pinged him here :P [18:15] nigel_nb: That would work [18:15] lol [18:15] haha [18:15] thats why i pinged here [18:15] nigel_nb: It doesn't really matter where you ping.

[18:38] doctormo: and hello :) [18:39] nigel_nb: Most days are free, and namaste [18:39] doctormo: will you have time to make a logo for the ubuntu user days? [18:40] possible, what kind of logo do you guys need/ [18:40] ? [18:40] something to highlight the usr [18:40] cjohnston: thoughts ^ [18:42] nigel_nb: It's very important to get the requirements for the logo, the feel, the ideas and concepts etc. [18:43] okay, I'll try [18:44] we need whoever to feel that it is about teaching [18:44] about helping new users [18:44] people who are lost and need a sense of direction with ubuntu [18:44] something to highlight that its going to be about using ubuntu (rather than contributing) [18:45] pleia2, Pendulum, and cjohnston: I cud use some help here [18:46] But it's an event logo, rather than the project branding for the learning group sections. [18:46] So it's got to be a little more exciting, doesn't have to be as descriptive, just nice. [18:46] its like the ubuntu open week [18:46] the event will be repeated [18:50] doctormo: yeah, it's an event (although hopefully will be a repeated one), aimed at new users [18:51] specifically aimed at home-users (not business although there's been discussion that maybe some day we'll do one for businesses) [18:56] thanks Pendulum, I was running out of description [18:59] doctormo: what else do you need to know? [19:33] nigel_nb: im not good at stuff like that [19:33] heh [19:33] not artistic at all [19:34] cjohnston: I hope the doc got enough ideas from me and Pendulum [19:34] where's lyz anyway, haven't seen her response [19:34] heh [19:34] shes workin [19:37] at the car shop actually, my poor car [19:37] * nigel_nb is shocked [19:38] u can respond from the carshop?

[19:38] yeah, this is going to be expensive [19:38] nigel_nb: yeah [19:38] * cjohnston wants to figure out how to make irssi a proxy [19:39] all you geeks :P [19:39] uh huh [19:39] and? [19:39] pleia2: you're taking the car with you? [19:39] to CA [19:40] nigel_nb: nope [19:41] pleia2: so its not worth the trouble either.
