| duanedesign | hello cprofitt | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| duanedesign | cprofitt: yes I would be interested in doing that | 00:23 |
| cprofitt | duanedesign: do you have an account on the Moodle site yet? | 00:24 |
| duanedesign | cprofitt: i dont think so. I remembered looking at it a long time ago. i can check | 00:24 |
| cprofitt | check... let me know | 00:25 |
| cprofitt | if not make an account with openID and I will give you course creator rights | 00:25 |
| duanedesign | cprofitt: ok i got it | 00:29 |
| cprofitt | all set for course creator duanedesign | 00:31 |
| duanedesign | cprofitt: great | 00:31 |
| cprofitt | feel free to ask me questions... | 00:32 |
| duanedesign | cprofitt: i have all the materials compiled to do courses on all the Launchpad topics. I am working through it all and condensing it | 00:32 |
| duanedesign | cprofitt: thanks, i might take you up on that :) | 00:33 |
| cprofitt | np | 00:33 |
| nigel_nb | later everyone | 01:08 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: when you have some time, on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/CourseLayout do you think you can add some kind of "Moodle Example" to each which explains where in moodle each section would go? or what it would be called? | 01:33 |
| chitchatcurtis | Is anyone here tonight? | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | evening | 02:07 |
| chitchatcurtis | how are you | 02:07 |
| chitchatcurtis | ? | 02:07 |
| chitchatcurtis | can I ask a question? | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | chitchatcurtis: we're a course development project, if it's a support channel you'd be better off trying #ubuntu :) | 02:08 |
| chitchatcurtis | you just answered my question | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | if you'd like more information about our project the project wiki page in the /topic can tell you more | 02:10 |
| chitchatcurtis | ok thanks Im new to linux I guess I will look on this site on the 11th and see what this is all about | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | we're working on writing courses about ubuntu that teams can teach | 02:12 |
| chitchatcurtis | Im very interested in learning. | 02:13 |
| pleia2 | if you're interested, we're also having a "User Day" on Saturday in a couple weeks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays | 02:13 |
| chitchatcurtis | ok I also have a few friends here that are also interested. Im doing my best in south east oklahoma to spread the word about Ubuntu | 02:15 |
| pleia2 | cool :) | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | I don't know how active it is, but there is an Ubuntu team in OK: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OklahomaTeam | 02:16 |
| chitchatcurtis | I just joined a few days ago. | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | oh great | 02:16 |
| chitchatcurtis | Im going to try to get something going closer to home. I have friends that use fedora and arch. but we are going to get something together here. | 02:18 |
| * pleia2 nods | 02:18 | |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, ah, your back :) | 02:20 |
| chitchatcurtis | don't know when yet but we are working on it. I have run into several business that run a linux os here but they don't know much about it. nor do I. But Im wanting to learn more. I just love the fact that I have more control of my computer | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: yep! | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | chitchatcurtis: interesting, are they using it on servers or desktops? | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | I find it's kinda rare for companies to use it on desktops just yet, but there are a few popping up lately | 02:22 |
| chitchatcurtis | desktop. mostly for oklahoma wild life. for hunting and fishing licenses. but it is good to see it go to that point | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's great :) | 02:24 |
| chitchatcurtis | I have a boss that uses a laptop with fedora with a windows xp v machine so he can work on allen bradly plc's | 02:28 |
| chitchatcurtis | I want to do the same with my laptop. Im the mill wright/ electrian, and I need to be able to trouble shoot the plcs from home | 02:31 |
| pleia2 | ah, is that an application that only runs on windows? | 02:31 |
| chitchatcurtis | yes it is | 02:32 |
| chitchatcurtis | xp pro | 02:32 |
| pleia2 | I've found that to be the biggest hurdle in getting businesses to adopt linux | 02:32 |
| pleia2 | one or two key apps that only run in windows and are vital | 02:32 |
| chitchatcurtis | and I really don't understand that. If I had a company I would want to be more open to the world. It isn't just a windows and mac world anymore | 02:34 |
| pleia2 | I am hopeful that some companies are coming to that realization | 02:35 |
| chitchatcurtis | Me too. I was never a real big fan of windows. But I was looking into getting a Mac till I was introduced to Ubuntu | 02:36 |
| chitchatcurtis | Thank goodness | 02:37 |
| chitchatcurtis | So what are your thoughts of Ubuntu vrs fedora? | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | don't have any really, I have very little experience with fedora | 02:39 |
| pleia2 | fedora (and redhat, centos) use the "rpm" package infrastructure, I've always preferred "deb" which debian and ubuntu use | 02:40 |
| chitchatcurtis | me too but boss is pushing it. Im more into Ubuntu. From what I have learned ubuntu is a little more user friendly | 02:41 |
| pleia2 | I know a lot of fedora folks who would say the same about fedora, it might just come down to a personal preference | 02:42 |
| chitchatcurtis | I bet your right. But the foundation is still linux:-D | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | yep :) | 02:43 |
| chitchatcurtis | thank you for chatting with me. I guess that I need to go offline and get some sleep. 3 am comes early | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | sure thing, you too | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | take care | 02:48 |
| chitchatcurtis | you too I will try to be here Monday | 02:48 |

| pleia2 | re: User Days, who was looking into using Lernid? nhandler mentioned it since it'll be ready for UDW just a couple days after UUD so we might actually be able to use it | 22:21 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, I did | 22:22 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, we need to create a server side config file and give jono | 22:22 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: are there instructions for that somewhere? | 22:23 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, getting that for ya | 22:24 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, do know how to generate an ical file? | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: no, but I can learn | 22:26 |
| nigel_nb | I dont know, I thought u knew | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 22:26 |
| nhandler | nigel_nb and pleia2: Google Calendar (and most calendar apps) can export an ical | 22:26 |
| nhandler | Want me to make one? | 22:27 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: that'd be great :) | 22:27 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, oh, thanks | 22:27 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/LernidEvent | 22:27 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: thanks! | 22:27 |
| nigel_nb | but the problem is, we can't we partial to lernid | 22:27 |
| nigel_nb | the features are mind blowing | 22:27 |
| nigel_nb | but only users there would be the sort of testers for lernid | 22:27 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I think we'd have to plan around it ahead of time, which there isn't time for now | 22:28 |
| nhandler | Not really. They will be using it for UDW a few days later, so I see no problem with using some of its features for the User Day | 22:28 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, but slides option is too tempting | 22:28 |
| nhandler | nigel_nb: Slides should simply supplement, they shouldn't be the full presentation | 22:29 |
| nigel_nb | I'll try to work around Lernid, but using the features in lernid too | 22:30 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, where you there for Jono's test class? | 22:30 |
| nhandler | nigel_nb: No. I couldn't make it | 22:30 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, it was mindblowing TBH | 22:30 |
| cprofitt | I missed his class... | 22:32 |
| cprofitt | would have liked to attend | 22:32 |
| nigel_nb | Lernid crashed a few times for me | 22:32 |
| nigel_nb | but once stable and working, I think we have a very good tool | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | cool | 22:33 |
| cprofitt | bbl -- wife is practicing her presentation... | 22:34 |
| nhandler | Here is a basic ics version of the Ubuntu User Days calendar. http://paste.ubuntu.com/355225/ | 22:45 |
| nhandler | Actually, just use this URL: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/ht0cie6r0pao14j6c2ndv8d8d8%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics | 22:49 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, yeah, only the url is needed | 22:49 |
| nhandler | If anyone prepares some slides for their presentation or if the schedule changes, poke me and I can update the calendar | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | thanks nhandler! | 22:51 |
| nhandler | :) | 22:51 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, great :) | 22:51 |
| _marx_ | hum slides for command line basics... :) | 22:51 |
| _marx_ | actually one for midnight commander might be useful | 22:52 |
| nhandler | I can also host the PDF files if people need some hosting | 22:53 |
| pleia2 | great | 22:58 |
| cjohnston | pleia2: did you ever talk to magicfab? | 23:19 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, I finally learned how to get the ical link ;) | 23:21 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston, did you do anything about lernid ? | 23:28 |
| cjohnston | about it? | 23:28 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston, I'm creating the config file.. okay with ya? | 23:29 |
| cjohnston | ya | 23:29 |
| nigel_nb | k | 23:30 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, ping | 23:35 |
| nhandler | nigel_nb: pong | 23:39 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, where do we put the .lernid server-side configuration file? any idea | 23:39 |
| nigel_nb | jono is not clear on the wiki | 23:40 |
| nhandler | nigel_nb: I believe you need to give it to Jono right now | 23:40 |
| nigel_nb | nhandler, ah | 23:40 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston, are the start times and end times of the user day definite? | 23:40 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston, in that case, I can give jono the config file | 23:40 |
| cjohnston | nigel_nb: i dont know.. hellow may be backing out... but we now have magicfab who is offering, but seems his courses are already covered.. | 23:41 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston, hm, cutting 1 hour? | 23:43 |
| cjohnston | possible | 23:43 |
| cjohnston | dont know | 23:43 |
| cjohnston | trying to get more info from magicfab | 23:44 |
| cjohnston | see if he has something to cover that isnt already | 23:44 |
| nigel_nb | let me know in a few | 23:44 |
| nigel_nb | if u decide to shuffle its okay, just let nhandler know | 23:45 |
| nigel_nb | if u cut hours, I have to know | 23:45 |
