| nhandler | scott_ev: On wiki.ubuntu.com? All the way to when the page was created | 20:11 |
| scott_ev | I've tried to salvage what's left. It'll take several hours if not days | 20:11 |

| zkriesse | scott_ev: what's your wiki? | 20:18 |
| scott_ev | zkriesse: I just added back a bunch of stuff that needed to be there | 20:18 |
| zkriesse | scott_ev: cool...that revision thing helps alot | 20:19 |
| zkriesse | don't know how many times i've deleted stuff from my wiki page that i needed...instead of trying to remember what it all was i learned to use that | 20:19 |
| scott_ev | no doubt. I sorta had a feeling it was somewhere, but asking questions of Ubuntu people generally get me good answers | 20:19 |
| scott_ev | in opposition to some other distros... | 20:20 |
| scott_ev | haha | 20:20 |
| zkriesse | scott_ev: mind if i look at your wiki? | 20:20 |
| scott_ev | as a matter of fact, no one in Ubuntu has ever said rtfm to me | 20:20 |
| zkriesse | rtfm? | 20:20 |
| newboon2age_ | One that caught my attention by the same author "Linux Girl" -- Katherine Noyes... Who Should -- or Shouldn't -- Use Linux http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/Who-Should---or-Shouldnt---Use-Linux-70329.html | 20:20 |
| scott_ev | zkriesse: sure, you edited it for me and I disagreed with your edits | 20:20 |
| * zkriesse doesn't follow all the acronyms these days | 20:21 | |
| scott_ev | read the f**ng manual | 20:21 |
| newboon2age_ | Basically concludes with the current state of Linux being so good everyone except those locked into programs that only run on one OS. | 20:21 |
| scott_ev | zkriesse: I get that in some IRC channels, never in anything ubuntu | 20:21 |
| scott_ev | zkriesse: very old acronym | 20:21 |
| zkriesse | oh gotcha | 20:21 |
| newboon2age_ | This one advocates Ubuntu as a starting point for Linux >>>> The Reg guide to Linux, part 2: Preparing to dual-boot http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/23/reg_linux_guide_2/ | 20:23 |

| newboon2age_ | The above articles should provide fodder for a few newsletter editions. :) akgraner | 20:32 |
| newboon2age_ | oh you probably got an article about this but just in case you missed it, its so remarkable i have to pass it on: Google Dumps Windows In Favour of Linux & Mac OS http://www.trustedreviews.com/software/news/2010/06/01/Google-Dumps-Windows-In-Favour-of-Linux---Mac-OS/p1 | 20:39 |
| newboon2age_ | and that's Ubuntu Google went to | 20:39 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: do you have a minute? | 20:44 |
| nhandler | scott_ev: Yeah, what's up? | 20:45 |
| scott_ev | I found the rev I want to restore but haven't figured out exactly how? any suggestions? | 20:45 |
| scott_ev | I've tried copy/paste into a new edit and that hasn't worked so far | 20:46 |
| nhandler | scott_ev: Under 'More Actions' there should be a Revert to this Revision option | 20:46 |
| scott_ev | ah, thanks. not sure how I missed that | 20:46 |
| nhandler | No problem | 20:47 |
| scott_ev | I think that did it. much appreciated, sir | 20:47 |
| scott_ev | geez, it's so hard to think right after coming in fromi 110 weather | 20:47 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: nice, got all straightened out with you and zkriesse's help | 21:25 |
| scott_ev | now I just need to get my name on the list | 21:25 |
| newboon2age_ | akgraner: I discovered the hard way that Konqueror is not a 'fully supported browser' for Google mail and Google Docs... | 21:27 |
| newboon2age_ | akgraner: its not a huge deal, i'll just load another, but something to be aware of for Kubuntu folks (I'm experimenting w/ Kubuntu) | 21:27 |
| newboon2age_ | akgraner: it temporarily prevents me from checking out your Google Doc site for the newsletter... | 21:28 |
| newboon2age_ | akgraner: i also e-mailed you some additional potential newsletter items -- if nothing else their interesting Ubuntu or linux related from that past month or so... | 21:29 |
| pleia2 | interesting bug, that event was added by crimsun | 21:44 |
| pleia2 | not sure how to go about replying to it | 21:44 |
| * pleia2 nudges another dc loco person | 21:45 | |
| scott_ev | how many of you are in DC? | 21:45 |
| pleia2 | I'm not, I meant "another" as in someone not crimsun, since he's not around right now :) | 21:46 |
| scott_ev | ah | 21:46 |
| pleia2 | looks like maco isn't either though | 21:46 |
| nhandler | pleia2: What is the bug? | 21:49 |
| pleia2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/fridge/+bug/601194 | 21:49 |
| pleia2 | someone else might want to do the change-bug-status-foo since I don't know the etiquette :) | 21:50 |
| nhandler | Well, it isn't really a bug, so Invalid seems appropriate | 21:51 |
| * pleia2 sets invalid | 21:51 | |
| nhandler | :) | 21:51 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 21:51 |
| scott_ev | say, on the membership committee website it still says the next meeting is June17. anyone know when the meeting is in July? I guess I can contact them, but I thought I'd ask here to see if there's a quick answer | 21:57 |
| pleia2 | I'll update it now, sec | 21:58 |
| pleia2 | btw: Meetings are held at 23:59 UTC on the third Thursday of the month | 21:58 |
| pleia2 | says it right under the last given date ;) | 21:58 |
| scott_ev | nice, that's what I saw, just wanted confirmation. thank you | 21:58 |
| pleia2 | so it'll be on the 15th | 21:59 |
| scott_ev | ayup, and I'll be there. I can hardly believe I put this off for so long.. | 22:00 |
| scott_ev | I coulda done this nearly a year ago | 22:00 |
| pleia2 | :) | 22:00 |
| pleia2 | scott_ev: where in AZ are you, if you don't mind me asking? | 22:01 |
| scott_ev | Mesa | 22:01 |
| scott_ev | east Mesa to be more exact | 22:01 |
| nhandler | scott_ev: The Americas meetings should also be on the Fridge calendar fyi | 22:01 |
| scott_ev | with all the old folks - caretaking for my aging parents | 22:01 |
| pleia2 | cool | 22:02 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: ayup, my memory is so bad sometimes | 22:02 |
| pleia2 | I have an aunt in Phoenix, will probably hop over there sometime in the next year | 22:02 |
| scott_ev | well, let me know and we'll do a Ubuntu Lunch if possible | 22:02 |
| pleia2 | that would be great :) | 22:02 |
| scott_ev | I like face2face meetings | 22:02 |
| pleia2 | me too | 22:02 |
| scott_ev | I ran into akgraner at SCaLE by accident | 22:03 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 22:03 |
| scott_ev | she happened to spot my LoCo tshirt | 22:03 |
| nhandler | Hmm...We need LoCo shirts in Chicago | 22:03 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: my LoCo had a cafe press store but it shutdown. I went ahead andf made 4 shirts there with just using my LoCo logo | 22:04 |
| scott_ev | made them just for SCaLE | 22:04 |
| pleia2 | we had a small local company make them up, afaik they were donated to the team which was great | 22:04 |
| pleia2 | need more though, going to another local shop | 22:04 |
| nhandler | scott_ev: We have an ok logo, and I could get the shirts made fairly cheap at my school. I'm talking to the other loco members now ;) | 22:04 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: nice. the more I handle for my team, the more I find I need to do | 22:05 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 22:05 |
| scott_ev | nearly everyone active has moved up or out.... | 22:05 |
| scott_ev | I'm dang near the only one doing anything administrative | 22:05 |
| scott_ev | and it's very very time-co0nsuming | 22:06 |
| scott_ev | consuming* | 22:06 |
| pleia2 | that reminds me, my aunt in Phoenix asked me recently to "explain your ubuntu thing" and asked if it was popular in AZ too :) | 22:06 |
| pleia2 | oh yes, there is a whole team! they have a newsletter!@ | 22:06 |
| scott_ev | pleia2: we have currently 4 Ubuntu members | 22:06 |
| scott_ev | that reminds me; I need to staet up the newsletter again in craig's absense | 22:06 |
| scott_ev | see, I spend alot of time and effort coordinating the state LUGS because so many of them mainly have Ubuntu users | 22:07 |
| * pleia2 nods | 22:08 | |
| scott_ev | outside of Hans the local PLUG pres, I'm the most active foss guy around | 22:08 |
| scott_ev | I likje having the LUGS work togethere | 22:08 |
| pleia2 | I ran (the real *grin*) PLUG back in philly, worked out nicely since the ubuntu team and the lug could really easily work together | 22:08 |
| scott_ev | I work harder in retirement than I remember working for $ | 22:08 |
| scott_ev | pleia2: agreed, it helps | 22:09 |
| scott_ev | we have tons of resources; a live server ahd a test server, @azloco addresses available - and that's just some of the things outside of Ubuntu that we've managed to do for ourselves | 22:10 |
| pleia2 | nice :) | 22:10 |
| scott_ev | johnc4510: really did a great job witht jhis team before kinda handing it to me | 22:10 |
| scott_ev | he's still the pres and always will be | 22:10 |
| scott_ev | I jsut picked up after his departure to do bigger things for Ubuntu | 22:11 |
| * pleia2 nods | 22:11 | |
| scott_ev | he's a very busy guy; caretaking for his mom, self-employed and extremely active in Ubuntu | 22:11 |
| scott_ev | a great mentor | 22:11 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 22:11 |
| scott_ev | nice. It helps to be the mailing list admin for my LoCo - hopefully there will be a large AZ LoCo presence in the meeting | 22:32 |
| internalkernel | dig :: http://wirelessstyle.info/2010/07/02/devs-manage-to-get-ubuntu-on-htc-hd2/ | 22:34 |
| scott_ev | sounds like a lot of work...good for their progress; next they'll actually be able to make calls with ubuntu | 22:40 |
| internalkernel | lol... that would be an interesting article... | 22:47 |
| internalkernel | Im just surprised they went with ubuntu and not a native debian... | 22:47 |
| scott_ev | understood. people have put debian on the droid | 22:49 |
| scott_ev | I'm happy enough with android on the droid that I wouldn't, myself, bother with anything else | 22:50 |
| scott_ev | though I've been running 2.2 for a month and the source jsut dropped a few days ago... | 22:51 |
| internalkernel | totally... I've been sporting a nexus one for the past few weeks and LOVE it... | 23:01 |
| akgraner | hey all... | 23:02 |
| scott_ev | hey akgraner | 23:02 |
| akgraner | what a day... | 23:02 |
| scott_ev | oh yeah? | 23:02 |
| scott_ev | not a little busy are you? | 23:02 |
| akgraner | corn... you have to freeze it when it's ready - it won't wait | 23:02 |
| scott_ev | internalkernel: I prefer the droid because it has a KB | 23:02 |
| akgraner | we have done over 100 dozen this week... | 23:02 |
| scott_ev | akgraner: indeed | 23:02 |
| akgraner | and we still have more to do tomorrow | 23:03 |
| akgraner | but it sure tastes good in the winter | 23:03 |
| scott_ev | awesome: scott gwin 152 n 58th street mesa az 85205 | 23:03 |
| akgraner | beans and such keep a little longer ofter you pick them but not much they'll have to be done next week | 23:03 |
| scott_ev | I'll send sweet oranges in dec/jan | 23:03 |
| akgraner | yummy | 23:03 |
| scott_ev | if you like figs.... | 23:04 |
| scott_ev | they'll be ready soon. I make jam with them | 23:05 |
| akgraner | I can't shuck it or pick it - I can only silk and cut it off the cob b/c I don't have to use my left shoulder than much - but it is still tiring.. but so rewarding once it's all finished | 23:05 |
| akgraner | I want to plant some fig trees | 23:05 |
| scott_ev | all I have to do is cut them up and slowly boil them with a little water and can them | 23:05 |
| internalkernel | akgraner: are you coming up this way tomorrow? | 23:05 |
| akgraner | we have blueberry bushed, plum trees, crab apple trees, and pear trees.. the pecan trees and raspberry bushes aren't bearing yet but should in about 3 more years | 23:06 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, no can do :-( I more corn to do | 23:06 |
| akgraner | you all can head her and we can do work on corn and talk about ubuntu :-) | 23:06 |
| internalkernel | lol... shuck some corn... :) | 23:06 |
| akgraner | many hands make light work | 23:07 |

| akgraner | cjohnston, hey! | 23:10 |
| akgraner | I'll start adding links to some of the sections in just a little while... | 23:11 |
| akgraner | I've gotten a lot of feed back from people over the last few weeks and will be including a survey for readers to take as well | 23:11 |
| akgraner | but want to drop it here 1st to see if there is anything else you all would include | 23:12 |
| scott_ev | akgraner: I'll be doing my section tonight or tomorrow | 23:12 |
| akgraner | scott_ev, thanks! | 23:12 |

| akgraner | scott_ev, that's fine | 23:13 |
| scott_ev | cool | 23:13 |
| akgraner | I just want people to have a comfortable way to contribute | 23:14 |
