Im very new to Linux [00:31] chitchatcurtis: we dont have classes in here [00:31] classes are held in #ubuntu-classroom [00:31] o I c [00:32] 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] just learned somethink new . thanks [00:33] This is more of a planning channel... I doubt you will find much thats useful as far as learning new things in here.. === nigel_nb is now known as Guest43117 [00:33] <_marx_> chitchatcurtis: as a new user what sort of classes would you be interested in? === Guest43117 is now known as nigelbabu [00:34] ah, better :) [00:35] just how to get around ubuntu. I cam from a long line of windows. I never really liked it. [00:36] 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] 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] chitchatcurtis: ubuntu lucid will come out with a manual [00:38] chitchatcurtis: in the meanwhile, you can use the inbuilt help [00:38] oh. [00:39] pleia2 and Pendulum: got around to blog about ubuntu user day? [00:39] nigelbabu: I believe pleia2 is doing hers friday and i'm doing mine like monday [00:40] One thing that I had problems with was getting mp3 cameras and other hardwear working properly [00:40] Pendulum: I'm hoping to get those videos done in a few days so that you add that to the post [00:40] Pendulum: lemme see if I can get it ready by then [00:41] popey: will you be able to voice over and mix the how -to videos by friday? [00:43] Pendulum: whats your blog's URL? [00:52] nigelbabu: pendulumtech.wordpress.com [00:53] Pendulum: oh no! pink attack! [00:53] lol [00:56] I <3 pink [00:56] and it's not even the pink I want [00:57] Pendulum: the text is a bit too light for me [00:57] have to get my glasses [00:57] I can't do anything about it. wordpress.com doesn't let you customize themes very much [00:58] bah to wordpress [01:07] 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] I was hoping to be able to do it tonight.. but maybe not :-( [01:10] cjohnston: popey is on the other side of the pond, so it's quite late :) [01:10] and great! [01:12] ya.. a guy can hope tho [01:12] lol [01:13] cjohnston: he'll reply when he wakes up ;) [01:13] ya..

[16:44] "Package Management Basics" [16:44] whoa [16:44] pleia2: well, at least he found a topic ;) [16:44] it's a good one :) [16:45] pleia2: so did I miss anything over the past 2 days? [16:45] not really, cjohnston will be sending out the formalized schedule in an announcement this evening [16:45] oh great [16:46] wow! profit's dirty diaper is on the meeting logs [16:47] it's his child's, not his! [16:47] pleia2: The schedule is done [16:48] cjohnston_: right, sending out the announcement tonight? [16:48] Maybe during lunch, but yes [16:48] great :) [16:49] I don't know the context of your message so I just wanted to let you know [16:50] nigel_nb was just asking for an update [16:50] Gotcha [16:50] unfortunately my graphics controller is out of whack [16:50] so I'm copying stuff to my parents comptuer and getting done [16:51] so, just wanted to knw what happened during all the meetings I missed [16:51] pleia2: I know its his kids diaper :P [16:51] :) [16:52] he came in coz he was pinged? [16:52] wow [16:54] yeah, he's got some script to email him or txt him or something, then logs on on his phone [16:54] geeky [16:54] hehe [16:55] well, we can keep pinging some day when he's bored [16:55] lol [16:55] or when *we* are bored :) [16:55] haha, true [16:59] Hellow: can you ping me when you get time [17:04] pleia2: There was a suggestion that we modify our structure slightly, would you like to hear the two proposals? [17:05] doctormo: UCLP course structure? [17:05] suggestions are always welcome :) [17:05] oh no! Not again! [17:05] lol, doctormo, go ahead :) [17:05] No, production structure, the way we organise people... :-) [17:05] I'm inspired by ubuntu-manual, one day I hope we get that fast [17:06] 1) Blueprints should be created for each topic due to be written and assigned to people with expected deadlines. [17:06] 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] The ideas are to increase the definition about what the work is and who has said they will do it. [17:08] blueprints still confuse me terribly [17:08] I have no clue what they are [17:08] ubuntu-manual does things that way [17:08] I <3 the way ubuntu-manual is moving, its pretty fast paced [17:14] doctormo: how do I checkout stuff from LP on windows? have to install the windows version of bzr? [17:15] nigel_nb: I'm the wrong person to ask about that [17:15] I'm stuck on an XP [17:15] to top it off, I'm on dial-up [17:15] 17 MB is going to take 2 hours [17:25] nigel_nb: Do you not have a live CD you can use instead? [17:29] doctormo: I do, but I'm not sure if this ancient modem will work with it [17:29] It's a win modem, there are ways [17:38] lazy lol [17:48] 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] doctormo: I will, first I want my laptop up [17:51] _marx_: around? need a favor [17:58] _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] only one ;) [18:08] doctormo: apparently, its really tough [18:08] 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] _marx_: getting it for ya [18:24] _marx_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts [18:24] _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] _marx_: take your time [18:32] <_marx_> have to edit the example files 6.06 - Dapper is a _little dated [18:33] yeah, a little bit of changes [18:33] <_marx_> 3.5 years dated ;) [18:33] _marx_: I'll blame popey for that ;) [18:34] _marx_: he leads the team [18:34] <_marx_> yeah saw that somewhere [18:35] and he's looking for someone so he can "hand it over" (read as "dump it on") [22:38] mornin [23:00] evening cjohnston [23:00] pleia2: when are you available evening wise for a meeting?
