[00:26] <nigelb_nb> hey everyone
[00:29] <chitchatcurtis> hello all
[00:30] <cjohnston> hi chitchatcurtis
[00:30] <cjohnston> thanks Hellow !
[00:30] <Hellow> Ohai thar.
[00:31] <chitchatcurtis> so is there a class so to speak tonight? Im very new to Linux
[00:31] <cjohnston> chitchatcurtis: we dont have classes in here
[00:31] <cjohnston> classes are held in #ubuntu-classroom
[00:31] <chitchatcurtis> o I c
[00:32] <cjohnston> If you join there, you will find a link in the topic to the classroom page which will show you a list of upcoming courses
[00:32] <chitchatcurtis> just learned somethink new . thanks
[00:33] <cjohnston> This is more of a planning channel... I doubt you will find much thats useful as far as learning new things in here..
[00:33] <_marx_> chitchatcurtis: as a new user what sort of classes would you be interested in?
[00:34] <nigelbabu> ah, better :)
[00:35] <chitchatcurtis> just how to get around ubuntu. I cam from a long line of windows. I never really liked it.
[00:36] <chitchatcurtis> not knowing where things are was a head ache. and how to get downloads installed is another
[00:36] <_marx_> hum, "how to get around Ubuntu" not sure what you mean by that
[00:36] <_marx_> ah ok
[00:37] <chitchatcurtis> like I said I figured them out, but it would have sped things up for me
[00:37] <_marx_> right, that's good info for those planning courses though
[00:37] <nigelbabu> chitchatcurtis: ubuntu lucid will come out with a manual
[00:38] <nigelbabu> chitchatcurtis: in the meanwhile, you can use the inbuilt help
[00:38] <chitchatcurtis> oh.
[00:39] <nigelbabu> pleia2 and Pendulum: got around to blog about ubuntu user day?
[00:39] <Pendulum> nigelbabu: I believe pleia2 is doing hers friday and i'm doing mine like monday
[00:40] <chitchatcurtis> One thing that I had problems with was getting mp3 cameras and other hardwear working properly
[00:40] <nigelbabu> Pendulum: I'm hoping to get those videos done in a few days so that you add that to the post
[00:40] <nigelbabu> Pendulum: lemme see if I can get it ready by then
[00:41] <nigelbabu> popey: will you be able to voice over and mix the how -to videos by friday?
[00:43] <nigelbabu> Pendulum: whats your blog's URL?
[00:52] <Pendulum> nigelbabu: pendulumtech.wordpress.com
[00:53] <nigelbabu> Pendulum: oh no! pink attack!
[00:53] <nigelbabu> lol
[00:56] <Pendulum> I <3 pink
[00:56] <Pendulum> and it's not even the pink I want
[00:57] <nigelbabu> Pendulum: the text is a bit too light for me
[00:57] <nigelbabu> have to get my glasses
[00:57] <Pendulum> I can't do anything about it. wordpress.com doesn't let you customize themes very much
[00:58] <nigelbabu> bah to wordpress
[01:07] <cjohnston> pleia2: fwiw, im waiting on hearing back from popey or MagicFab and then I will have the schedule set, and send out the email to the instructors..
[01:07] <cjohnston> I was hoping to be able to do it tonight.. but maybe not :-(
[01:10] <pleia2> cjohnston: popey is on the other side of the pond, so it's quite late :)
[01:10] <pleia2> and great!

[16:42] <nigel_nb> Hellow: around?

[16:44] <nigel_nb> whoa
[16:44] <nigel_nb> pleia2: well, at least he found a topic ;)
[16:44] <pleia2> it's a good one :)
[16:45] <nigel_nb> pleia2: so did I miss anything over the past 2 days?
[16:45] <pleia2> not really, cjohnston will be sending out the formalized schedule in an announcement this evening
[16:45] <nigel_nb> oh great
[16:46] <nigel_nb> wow! profit's dirty diaper is on the meeting logs
[16:47] <pleia2> it's his child's, not his!
[16:47] <cjohnston_> pleia2: The schedule is done
[16:48] <pleia2> cjohnston_: right, sending out the announcement tonight?
[16:48] <cjohnston_> Maybe during lunch, but yes
[16:48] <pleia2> great :)
[16:49] <cjohnston_> I don't know the context of your message so I just wanted to let you know
[16:50] <pleia2> nigel_nb was just asking for an update
[16:50] <cjohnston_> Gotcha
[16:50] <nigel_nb> unfortunately my graphics controller is out of whack
[16:50] <nigel_nb> so I'm copying stuff to my parents comptuer and getting done
[16:51] <nigel_nb> so, just wanted to knw what happened during all the meetings I missed
[16:51] <nigel_nb> pleia2: I know its his kids diaper :P
[16:51] <pleia2> :)
[16:52] <nigel_nb> he came in coz he was pinged?
[16:52] <nigel_nb> wow
[16:54] <pleia2> yeah, he's got some script to email him or txt him or something, then logs on on his phone
[16:54] <nigel_nb> geeky
[16:54] <pleia2> hehe
[16:55] <nigel_nb> well, we can keep pinging some day when he's bored
[16:55] <pleia2> lol
[16:55] <pleia2> or when *we* are bored :)
[16:55] <nigel_nb> haha, true
[16:59] <nigel_nb> Hellow: can you ping me when you get time
[17:04] <doctormo> pleia2: There was a suggestion that we modify our structure slightly, would you like to hear the two proposals?
[17:05] <pleia2> doctormo: UCLP course structure?
[17:05] <pleia2> suggestions are always welcome :)
[17:05] <nigel_nb> oh no! Not again!
[17:05] <nigel_nb> lol, doctormo, go ahead :)
[17:05] <doctormo> No, production structure, the way we organise people... :-)
[17:05] <nigel_nb> I'm inspired by ubuntu-manual, one day I hope we get that fast
[17:06] <doctormo> 1) Blueprints should be created for each topic due to be written and assigned to people with expected deadlines.
[17:06] <doctormo> 2) 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.
[17:07] <doctormo> The ideas are to increase the definition about what the work is and who has said they will do it.
[17:08] <pleia2> blueprints still confuse me terribly
[17:08] <nigel_nb> I have no clue what they are
[17:08] <pleia2> ubuntu-manual does things that way
[17:08] <nigel_nb>  I <3 the way ubuntu-manual is moving, its pretty fast paced
[17:14] <nigel_nb> doctormo: how do I checkout stuff from LP on windows? have to install the windows version of bzr?
[17:15] <doctormo> nigel_nb: I'm the wrong person to ask about that
[17:15] <nigel_nb> I'm stuck on an XP
[17:15] <nigel_nb> to top it off, I'm on dial-up
[17:15] <nigel_nb> 17 MB is going to take 2 hours
[17:25] <doctormo> nigel_nb: Do you not have a live CD you can use instead?
[17:29] <nigel_nb> doctormo: I do, but I'm not sure if this ancient modem will work with it
[17:29] <doctormo> It's a win modem, there are ways
[17:38] <nigel_nb> lazy lol
[17:48] <doctormo> nigel_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.
[17:49] <nigel_nb> doctormo: I will, first I want my laptop up
[17:51] <nigel_nb> _marx_: around? need a favor
[17:58] <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.
[18:05]  * _marx_ reading scroll back
[18:06] <nigel_nb> only one ;)
[18:08] <nigel_nb> doctormo: apparently, its really tough
[18:08] <nigel_nb> doctormo: my modem is external and connected via usb and that part sucks (or so it seems)
[18:18] <_marx_> nigel_nb: which screencast wiki page?
[18:21] <nigel_nb> _marx_: getting it for ya
[18:24] <nigel_nb> _marx_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
[18:24] <nigel_nb> _marx_: search for "Creating a header and footer"
[18:25] <_marx_> ok reading it now
[18:31] <_marx_> nigel_nb: yeah I believe I can handle that; be a couple of hours though
[18:32] <nigel_nb> _marx_: take your time
[18:32] <_marx_> have to edit the example files 6.06 - Dapper is a _little dated
[18:33] <nigel_nb> yeah, a little bit of changes
[18:33] <_marx_> 3.5 years dated ;)
[18:33] <nigel_nb> _marx_: I'll blame popey for that ;)
[18:34] <nigel_nb> _marx_: he leads the team
[18:34] <_marx_> yeah saw that somewhere
[18:35] <nigel_nb> and he's looking for someone so he can "hand it over" (read as "dump it on")
