irv_yarrrr16:32
astraljavaYes?16:33
andyzwebso does ubuntustudio manage a seperate repo of any kind?18:50
astraljavaandyzweb: Nope. All Ubuntu official repositories.18:54
astraljavaandyzweb: There's talk about a Ubuntu Studio PPA, mainly for backports, but that's to discuss in the next meeting on Sunday.18:55
andyzwebAre there packages in the official repositories that are contributed primarily by ubuntustudio folks?18:57
astraljavaandyzweb: There are, but since I've been away during the last couple of releases, I can't recall which. I tried to find this info from the wiki or help.u.c, but to no avail.19:11
astraljavaandyzweb: I think mscore was prepared by Toby Smithe, and I believe he got it into Debian as well, but am not up-to-date on how it's doing these days.19:13
astraljavaandyzweb: But I'm sure there are others. Ask around, when others are awake.19:14
andyzwebastraljava: ok I plan on being here for the meeting, I put it in my calendar19:20
astraljavaandyzweb: Good to hear! :)19:26
rlameirocrimsun: how is going UDS?19:41
rlameiroI am looking at your interview :D19:41
irv_do you guys need any visual basic coders19:52
scott-workandyzweb: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#notinA19:55
scott-workthese are packages that are not in Debian at all, so I would say they are maintained by Ubuntu folk19:55
scott-workperhaps not all by active ubuntustudio people, but some might be19:56
scott-workrlameiro: how are you looking at his interview?  it is a webcam thing?  can you post a link?19:56
* scott-work has been listening to Sly and the Family Stone and feeling *funky*19:57
rlameiroscott-work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gvTeI6-bms19:57
scott-workLOL, i had no idea dtchen was crimsun !19:59
astraljavairv_: Unlikely, isn't that restricted to Windows platforms?19:59
rlameiroastraljava: well, ther is mono20:00
astraljavarlameiro: But doesn't it run C# binaries? Or am I totally mistaken?20:01
rlameiroastraljava: actually i dont know.... maybe just c#....20:01
astraljavairv_: Okay, I'll take that back. According to http://www.mono-project.com/Language_BASIC, there is now support for visual basic .net in mono.20:03
irv_astraljava: ha ha20:03
rlameiroastraljava: http://www.mono-project.com/Language_BASIC20:03
irv_astraljava: it was more of a joke, but sweet.20:03
irv_:p20:03
rlameirobut isnt VB a BAD lang ;P20:04
astraljavairv_: Just come up with a cool idea for an application, and we'll welcome it with open arms. :)20:04
rlameiroin python :D20:04
andyzwebmono is an implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure20:05
astraljavarlameiro: Haven't researched it at all during its .Net times, might have evolved quite a bit.20:05
andyzwebso any language that compiles to the Common Intermediate Language bytecode should run in mono20:07
astraljavaandyzweb: I don't know, the page mentioned above seems to indicate a separate compiler for VB is needed after all. But /me is willing to admit he knows next to nothing about mono overall... :)20:15
andyzwebastraljava: Mono is not too bad Think of it as Java with better syntax but less security or cross platform compatibility (at this point anyway)20:20
andyzwebBye the way I am going to install UbuntuStudio 10.04 on my macbook pro today/tomorrow. Is there somewhere I should report my results?20:30
astraljavaubuntustudio-users@lists.ubuntu.com? ubuntuforums.org in Ubuntu Studio section?20:31
scott-worki did a clean install of ubuntu studio 10.04 yesterday on an i386, but i haven't really used it yet20:44
scott-worki'm hoping to use this machine for a presentation and then give the computer away to one person at the presentation!20:45
scott-workjust the comptuer, which was a $70 p4, 2.8 ghz + $30 1gig memory20:45
astraljavascott-work: Cool. Do you also provide personal support for that? :)20:45
scott-workastraljava: in this case, yes20:46
astraljavascott-work: My hat's off to ya. :)20:46
scott-workbut i have also told several people at work that if they want to use an old machine to install studio I will make sure they get it up and running20:46
scott-workand show them how to use it for rudimentary recording20:47
astraljavaThat's nice.20:47
astraljavaI watched a presentation of setting up a LoCo during the latest UOW, and started contemplating about doing so here. It's a 120,000+ town after all, and a huge proportion of students, so might actually get lucky.20:50
scott-workthis would be a first meeting of what might be a LoCo20:51
astraljavaOh cool. Where do you live btw.?20:52
scott-worktwo of the people actually have Ubuntu and use it, probably the other four or five will eventually use ubuntu studio as their are hobbyist musicians20:52
scott-worki live in montgomery, texas, usa20:52
astraljavaOk.20:52
scott-workhistoric old town, not many people, but i work in Conroe which is just north of Houston20:53
scott-workand Houston is huge20:53
scott-workapparently Conroe had a population of 55,429 in 200820:54
astraljavaRight. Actually I'm some 20 ml. from the center of the town, the village I live in only has some 5k or so.20:55
scott-workHouston has their own LoCo but they tend to meet on the south side of town, so i'm hoping to get a group of friends together, announce it on the LoCo mailing list and pull from the group that do not regularly attend because of the meeting location20:57
astraljavaYeah. I bet there are users on the north side of that huge metro.20:57
scott-worki really don't want to lead a LoCo though, I've already got too much going on already20:57
scott-workalthough if it was based in Montgomery it would be the MoCoLoCo ;)20:58
astraljava:D20:58
quadrisprohello folks21:01

quadrisproscott-work, finally I've decided to try to become DD :)21:02
astraljavaNice. :)21:02
scott-workquadrispro: what is a DD?21:03
astraljavaDebian Developer.21:03
scott-workthat's what I thought it meant21:03
scott-workbut i thought you already were one quadrispro21:03
scott-workor were you only part of the Debian Multimedia team?21:04
quadrisproscott-work, eh no, I am debian maintainer21:04
scott-workeither way, awesome it is!21:04
quadrisproand part of Debian Multimedia team21:04
quadrisproyep, some other italian DDs have convinced me21:05
scott-workgood for you :)21:06
scott-worki wish i had more time to devote to packaging21:06
astraljava...and for us as well. :D21:06
quadrispro:)21:06
quadrisproscott-work, now we (me and another Deb-Multimedia guy, Jaromir Mikes) are working hard on LV2 related stuff21:07
quadrisproplugins, synth, hosts etc21:07
scott-workthat is really cool as well :)21:08
quadrisproso please, instead of dputting packages to REVU, get in touch with me21:09
astraljavaquadrispro: Actually I've been meaning to start developing for Debian as well, so maybe we could work together if I'm of any assistance?21:11
quadrisprowe hope to give maverick all the most popular LV2 tools21:11
quadrisproastraljava, of course21:11
quadrisproyes21:12
astraljavaI just need to move at the end of this month, after that I'll have much more time for these kind of hobbies.21:14
astraljavaBut am already following debian-multimedia team on mailing list and IRC.21:14
quadrisprocool, do you already have an account on alioth?21:15
astraljavaActually already filed a couple of ITPs a while back, but haven't got time for them since we started building the house.21:15
astraljavaquadrispro: No, not yet.21:15
scott-workquadrispro: that is incredibly awesome that you (and Debian Multimedia) are helping out21:19
astraljavaI think so too. That's why I want to give my thanks by contributing back.21:20
quadrisproastraljava, it may be a good first step, after subscribing on alioth please send us a short presentation21:20
quadrisproand tell about your ITP, sure you'll find some good sponsor21:20
astraljavaquadrispro: Sure I will do that. Might go until June, but I'll definitely be on that, thanks!21:21
quadrisproscott-work, we are in the same family :)21:21
scott-workthat's funny you say that because I'm working on a blog post that says the same thing, but in a Sly way21:22
quadrisproehehe21:23
quadrisproastraljava, you're welcome!21:23
quadrisproguys, leaving right now for a beer21:23
quadrisprosee you later!21:23
scott-workbye :)21:25
astraljavaLater. :)21:25
rlameiroscott-work: what do you think of a RSVP thing?21:30
scott-workrlameiro: for the meeting calendar?21:30
rlameirofor the meeting, to have an idea of who will come or not21:30
rlameirosomething like that21:30
rlameiroscott-work: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/376735 http://drupal.org/project/rsvp21:33
astraljavaFor a non-mandatory meeting, I don't see a point. However, I do think that there ought to be mandatory meetings too, especially when drawing the lines of where the distro is bound to be headed.21:38
rlameiroyeap, but fisrt the team needs to be defined to have a mandatory meeting21:40
rlameirobut i agree with you astraljava 21:40
astraljavarlameiro: You have a point there, _if_ there is to be a strict team structure.21:41
rlameiroastraljava: well, at least a minimum core team21:41
astraljavarlameiro: That is true.21:41
scott-workah, rlameiro left already22:21
