[13:06] <astraljava> o/
[16:32] <irv_> yarrrr
[16:33] <astraljava> Yes?
[18:50] <andyzweb> so does ubuntustudio manage a seperate repo of any kind?
[18:54] <astraljava> andyzweb: Nope. All Ubuntu official repositories.
[18:55] <astraljava> andyzweb: There's talk about a Ubuntu Studio PPA, mainly for backports, but that's to discuss in the next meeting on Sunday.
[18:57] <andyzweb> Are there packages in the official repositories that are contributed primarily by ubuntustudio folks?
[19:11] <astraljava> andyzweb: 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.
[19:13] <astraljava> andyzweb: 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.
[19:14] <astraljava> andyzweb: But I'm sure there are others. Ask around, when others are awake.
[19:20] <andyzweb> astraljava: ok I plan on being here for the meeting, I put it in my calendar
[19:26] <astraljava> andyzweb: Good to hear! :)
[19:41] <rlameiro> crimsun: how is going UDS?
[19:41] <rlameiro> I am looking at your interview :D
[19:52] <irv_> do you guys need any visual basic coders
[19:55] <scott-work> andyzweb: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#notinA
[19:55] <scott-work> these are packages that are not in Debian at all, so I would say they are maintained by Ubuntu folk
[19:56] <scott-work> perhaps not all by active ubuntustudio people, but some might be
[19:56] <scott-work> rlameiro: how are you looking at his interview?  it is a webcam thing?  can you post a link?
[19:57]  * scott-work has been listening to Sly and the Family Stone and feeling *funky*
[19:57] <rlameiro> scott-work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gvTeI6-bms
[19:59] <scott-work> LOL, i had no idea dtchen was crimsun !
[19:59] <astraljava> irv_: Unlikely, isn't that restricted to Windows platforms?
[20:00] <rlameiro> astraljava: well, ther is mono
[20:01] <astraljava> rlameiro: But doesn't it run C# binaries? Or am I totally mistaken?
[20:01] <rlameiro> astraljava: actually i dont know.... maybe just c#....
[20:03] <astraljava> irv_: 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 ha
[20:03] <rlameiro> astraljava: http://www.mono-project.com/Language_BASIC
[20:03] <irv_> astraljava: it was more of a joke, but sweet.
[20:03] <irv_> :p
[20:04] <rlameiro> but isnt VB a BAD lang ;P
[20:04] <astraljava> irv_: Just come up with a cool idea for an application, and we'll welcome it with open arms. :)
[20:04] <rlameiro> in python :D
[20:05] <andyzweb> mono is an implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure
[20:05] <astraljava> rlameiro: Haven't researched it at all during its .Net times, might have evolved quite a bit.
[20:07] <andyzweb> so any language that compiles to the Common Intermediate Language bytecode should run in mono
[20:15] <astraljava> andyzweb: 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... :)
[20:20] <andyzweb> astraljava: Mono is not too bad Think of it as Java with better syntax but less security or cross platform compatibility (at this point anyway)
[20:30] <andyzweb> Bye the way I am going to install UbuntuStudio 10.04 on my macbook pro today/tomorrow. Is there somewhere I should report my results?
[20:31] <astraljava> ubuntustudio-users@lists.ubuntu.com? ubuntuforums.org in Ubuntu Studio section?
[20:44] <scott-work> i did a clean install of ubuntu studio 10.04 yesterday on an i386, but i haven't really used it yet
[20:45] <scott-work> i'm hoping to use this machine for a presentation and then give the computer away to one person at the presentation!
[20:45] <scott-work> just the comptuer, which was a $70 p4, 2.8 ghz + $30 1gig memory
[20:45] <astraljava> scott-work: Cool. Do you also provide personal support for that? :)
[20:46] <scott-work> astraljava: in this case, yes
[20:46] <astraljava> scott-work: My hat's off to ya. :)
[20:46] <scott-work> but 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 running
[20:47] <scott-work> and show them how to use it for rudimentary recording
[20:47] <astraljava> That's nice.
[20:50] <astraljava> I 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.
[20:51] <scott-work> this would be a first meeting of what might be a LoCo
[20:52] <astraljava> Oh cool. Where do you live btw.?
[20:52] <scott-work> two of the people actually have Ubuntu and use it, probably the other four or five will eventually use ubuntu studio as their are hobbyist musicians
[20:52] <scott-work> i live in montgomery, texas, usa
[20:52] <astraljava> Ok.
[20:53] <scott-work> historic old town, not many people, but i work in Conroe which is just north of Houston
[20:53] <scott-work> and Houston is huge
[20:54] <scott-work> apparently Conroe had a population of 55,429 in 2008
[20:55] <astraljava> Right. Actually I'm some 20 ml. from the center of the town, the village I live in only has some 5k or so.
[20:57] <scott-work> Houston 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 location
[20:57] <astraljava> Yeah. I bet there are users on the north side of that huge metro.
[20:57] <scott-work> i really don't want to lead a LoCo though, I've already got too much going on already
[20:58] <scott-work> although if it was based in Montgomery it would be the MoCoLoCo ;)
[20:58] <astraljava> :D
[21:01] <quadrispro> hello folks
[21:02] <astraljava> Hi.
[21:02] <quadrispro> scott-work, finally I've decided to try to become DD :)
[21:02] <astraljava> Nice. :)
[21:03] <scott-work> quadrispro: what is a DD?
[21:03] <astraljava> Debian Developer.
[21:03] <scott-work> that's what I thought it meant
[21:03] <scott-work> but i thought you already were one quadrispro
[21:04] <scott-work> or were you only part of the Debian Multimedia team?
[21:04] <quadrispro> scott-work, eh no, I am debian maintainer
[21:04] <scott-work> either way, awesome it is!
[21:04] <quadrispro> and part of Debian Multimedia team
[21:05] <quadrispro> yep, some other italian DDs have convinced me
[21:06] <scott-work> good for you :)
[21:06] <scott-work> i wish i had more time to devote to packaging
[21:06] <astraljava> ...and for us as well. :D
[21:06] <quadrispro> :)
[21:07] <quadrispro> scott-work, now we (me and another Deb-Multimedia guy, Jaromir Mikes) are working hard on LV2 related stuff
[21:07] <quadrispro> plugins, synth, hosts etc
[21:08] <scott-work> that is really cool as well :)
[21:09] <quadrispro> so please, instead of dputting packages to REVU, get in touch with me
[21:11] <astraljava> quadrispro: 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] <quadrispro> we hope to give maverick all the most popular LV2 tools
[21:11] <quadrispro> astraljava, of course
[21:12] <quadrispro> yes
[21:14] <astraljava> I 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] <astraljava> But am already following debian-multimedia team on mailing list and IRC.
[21:15] <quadrispro> cool, do you already have an account on alioth?
[21:15] <astraljava> Actually already filed a couple of ITPs a while back, but haven't got time for them since we started building the house.
[21:15] <astraljava> quadrispro: No, not yet.
[21:19] <scott-work> quadrispro: that is incredibly awesome that you (and Debian Multimedia) are helping out
[21:20] <astraljava> I think so too. That's why I want to give my thanks by contributing back.
[21:20] <quadrispro> astraljava, it may be a good first step, after subscribing on alioth please send us a short presentation
[21:20] <quadrispro> and tell about your ITP, sure you'll find some good sponsor
[21:21] <astraljava> quadrispro: Sure I will do that. Might go until June, but I'll definitely be on that, thanks!
[21:21] <quadrispro> scott-work, we are in the same family :)
[21:22] <scott-work> that's funny you say that because I'm working on a blog post that says the same thing, but in a Sly way
[21:23] <quadrispro> ehehe
[21:23] <quadrispro> astraljava, you're welcome!
[21:23] <quadrispro> guys, leaving right now for a beer
[21:23] <quadrispro> see you later!
[21:25] <scott-work> bye :)
[21:25] <astraljava> Later. :)
[21:30] <rlameiro> scott-work: what do you think of a RSVP thing?
[21:30] <scott-work> rlameiro: for the meeting calendar?
[21:30] <rlameiro> for the meeting, to have an idea of who will come or not
[21:30] <rlameiro> something like that
[21:33] <rlameiro> scott-work: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/376735 http://drupal.org/project/rsvp
[21:38] <astraljava> For 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.
[21:40] <rlameiro> yeap, but fisrt the team needs to be defined to have a mandatory meeting
[21:40] <rlameiro> but i agree with you astraljava 
[21:41] <astraljava> rlameiro: You have a point there, _if_ there is to be a strict team structure.
[21:41] <rlameiro> astraljava: well, at least a minimum core team
[21:41] <astraljava> rlameiro: That is true.
[22:21] <scott-work> ah, rlameiro left already
