chitchatcurtisnot knowing where things are was a head ache. and how to get downloads installed is another00:36
_marx_hum, "how to get around Ubuntu" not sure what you mean by that00:36
_marx_ah ok00:36
chitchatcurtislike I said I figured them out, but it would have sped things up for me00:37
_marx_right, that's good info for those planning courses though00:37

doctormopleia2: There was a suggestion that we modify our structure slightly, would you like to hear the two proposals?17:04
pleia2doctormo: UCLP course structure?17:05
pleia2suggestions are always welcome :)17:05
nigel_nboh no! Not again!17:05
nigel_nblol, doctormo, go ahead :)17:05
doctormoNo, production structure, the way we organise people... :-)17:05
nigel_nbI'm inspired by ubuntu-manual, one day I hope we get that fast17:05
doctormo1) Blueprints should be created for each topic due to be written and assigned to people with expected deadlines.17:06
doctormo2) That the structures in the wiki be used as a public draft and a more reviewed and paired down structure to apear in a file within the bzr branch, each directory which would contain to job lot of what needs done.17:06
doctormoThe ideas are to increase the definition about what the work is and who has said they will do it.17:07
pleia2blueprints still confuse me terribly17:08
nigel_nbI have no clue what they are17:08
pleia2ubuntu-manual does things that way17:08
nigel_nb I <3 the way ubuntu-manual is moving, its pretty fast paced17:08
nigel_nbdoctormo: how do I checkout stuff from LP on windows? have to install the windows version of bzr?17:14
doctormonigel_nb: I'm the wrong person to ask about that17:15
nigel_nbI'm stuck on an XP17:15
nigel_nbto top it off, I'm on dial-up17:15
nigel_nb17 MB is going to take 2 hours17:15
doctormonigel_nb: Do you not have a live CD you can use instead?17:25
nigel_nbdoctormo: I do, but I'm not sure if this ancient modem will work with it17:29
doctormoIt's a win modem, there are ways17:29
nigel_nblazy lol17:38
doctormonigel_nb: It's a learning opertunity and a requirement for your enviroment, it sounds like learning it now will allow you to help others in your situation too.17:48
nigel_nbdoctormo: I will, first I want my laptop up17:49
nigel_nb_marx_: around? need a favor17:51
nigel_nb_marx_: can you go to screencasts wiki and create the intro and ending screens with the presentation file that they have given.  If I dont it, the resolution may change.  Just share it the same folder once done.17:58
* _marx_ reading scroll back18:05
nigel_nbonly one ;)18:06
nigel_nbdoctormo: apparently, its really tough18:08
nigel_nbdoctormo: my modem is external and connected via usb and that part sucks (or so it seems)18:08
_marx_nigel_nb: which screencast wiki page?18:18
nigel_nb_marx_: getting it for ya18:21
nigel_nb_marx_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts18:24

_marx_ok reading it now18:25
_marx_nigel_nb: yeah I believe I can handle that; be a couple of hours though18:31
nigel_nb_marx_: take your time18:32
