| doctormo | akgraner: A perl special? sounds awesome. | 02:08 |
|---|---|---|
| akgraner | doctormo, http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Resources/Special-Editions/Powerhouse-Perl | 02:14 |
| doctormo | akgraner: Wonderful, thanks. BTW how has your day been. | 02:15 |
| akgraner | pretty good! spent the day with some much needed family time :-) | 02:19 |
| akgraner | and worked on my interview with pete | 02:19 |
| duanedesign | akgraner: aha, thanks for the tip on the perl special. | 03:36 |
| nigelb | akgraner: you're interviewing pete? | 03:39 |
| nigelb | "Who else besides Ubuntu welcomes everyone, and tries to maintain a sane, friendly community? My favorite distribution is Debian, but no way will I ever try to be contributor" - now thats worth hearing :) | 04:11 |
| doctormo | nigelb: who said that? | 04:14 |
| nigelb | Carla Schroder - http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2010-07-30-028-35-OS-CY-UB | 04:15 |
| nigelb | Also lol @ "If I were an ace coder I would rather eat dog doo than try to become a kernel contributor. Life is too short to waste living in a flame-proof suit." | 04:15 |
| duanedesign | nigelb: yes my first distro was debian. Needless to say the community was less than friendly | 06:01 |
| pleia2 | nigelb: carla is one of my heroes :) | 06:02 |
| nigelb | pleia2: she wrote a very sensible article | 06:03 |
| pleia2 | "n my grumpier moments their relentlessly positive, cult-like Kumbaya-or-else approach makes me want to turn the hose on them." hehe | 06:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's the hugging everyone thing we get teased about | 06:04 |
| nigelb | hahaha | 06:06 |
| nigelb | we should give her a group hug :p | 06:06 |
| pleia2 | lol | 06:07 |
| pleia2 | I helped edit her linux networking cookbook | 06:08 |
| nigelb | wow | 06:08 |
| pleia2 | http://princessleia.com/images/journalpics/032008/LNC_thanks.jpg | 06:10 |
| pleia2 | :) | 06:10 |
| pleia2 | no in-print thanks because she forgot (doh!) but this was nice | 06:10 |
| nigelb | wow | 06:11 |
| nigelb | but really, most folks get attracted to the community in ubuntu | 06:12 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 06:12 |
| pleia2 | I still run a fair amount of debian to be honest, but here I am | 06:12 |
| nigelb | heh, I know | 06:12 |
| nigelb | noone cares if you're a developer or not :) | 06:13 |
| nigelb | you're still important to us... just as everyone is :) | 06:13 |
| pleia2 | paulproteus has been nagging me to at least becoming a formal DM | 06:13 |
| duanedesign | that was a good article nigelb | 06:14 |
| nigelb | duanedesign: yeah, of all the ones I read. I like that best | 06:14 |
| nigelb | pleia2: you probably should :) | 06:14 |
| duanedesign | i liked jonos rebuttal on that topic but an 'outsiders' opinion probably will be taken better. | 06:15 |
| duanedesign | for lack of a better way to put that :P | 06:15 |
| nigelb | Also code commits are the only thing considered | 06:15 |
| nigelb | no one thought of patches | 06:15 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it really is package maintainer centric | 06:16 |
| pleia2 | and ubuntu devs are becoming DDs, which is great | 06:16 |
| maco | im going to get my key signed at debconf in preparation for eventual DMness | 06:17 |
| nigelb | yes, plenty of them. Most people don't want to do merges like zack said :) | 06:17 |
| pleia2 | maco: yay! | 06:17 |
| nigelb | maco: didn't you get it signed at some UDS before? | 06:17 |
| nigelb | haven't you rather | 06:17 |
| pleia2 | I got my key signed by paulproteus last summer, right after he became a DD | 06:17 |
| maco | nigelb: i dont think anyone who signed mine was a DD | 06:17 |
| maco | pleia2: wait he counts? | 06:18 |
| pleia2 | maco: yep! | 06:18 |
| maco | in that case my old key is signed by paulproteus | 06:18 |
| maco | but i have a new one ill need to bug him about | 06:18 |
| nigelb | heh | 06:18 |
| duanedesign | i just need *someone* to sign mine, lol | 06:18 |
| nigelb | I need to get my key back | 06:18 |
| maco | you lost it? | 06:18 |
| pleia2 | my key is old and small, I need to generate a new one I guess :( | 06:18 |
| duanedesign | nigelb: i inevitably lost my first one | 06:18 |
| nigelb | maco: in my laptop which is in the shop | 06:19 |
| maco | oh | 06:19 |
| duanedesign | pleia2: yes mine is small too....my key that is ;) | 06:19 |
| pleia2 | context++ | 06:19 |
| nigelb | duanedesign: oh that was evil :p | 06:19 |
| duanedesign | but right now i dont use it a whole lot. Since i lost my first one I am hesitant to make yet another | 06:20 |
| duanedesign | nigelb: the operation cleansweep and papercut stickies have been pretty popular. I think it would be a good idea to keep rotating out those stickies with current community projects | 06:22 |
| nigelb | good idea | 06:24 |
| sense | good morning | 11:50 |
| Pendulum | morning sense | 11:51 |
| AlanBell | hi Pendulum o/ | 11:52 |
| doctormo | Morning sense and AlanBell | 15:37 |
| nigelb | wooo ubuntu bangalore meet up was a sucess! | 15:52 |

| paultag | nigelb: congrats! | 15:52 |
| paultag | nigelb: do you have photos? | 15:52 |
| nigelb | paultag: in the process of uploading | 15:52 |
| paultag | nigelb: let me know when they're online | 15:52 |
| nigelb | paultag: just connected cam to laptop and nothing happened | 15:53 |
| nigelb | :( | 15:53 |
| paultag | nigelb: >:( | 15:53 |
| paultag | nigelb: yank it's datacard | 15:53 |
| paultag | nigelb: throw it in the lappy | 15:53 |
| nigelb | paultag: this laptop was made before that technology was invented :p | 15:53 |
| paultag | >:( | 15:53 |
| doctormo | Hey paultag | 15:58 |
| paultag | hey doctormo | 15:58 |
| paultag | doctormo: just setting up my new domain, going back to wordpress after a 5 hour failed blog engine | 15:58 |
| doctormo | paultag: your own php awesomeness? | 15:59 |
| paultag | doctormo: yeah, based on Whube | 15:59 |
| doctormo | You code had problems or you just didn't have the resources to get it done? | 15:59 |
| paultag | doctormo: and it worked, you could make a new post, edit, all that, login worked great, it was seecure and it looked great | 15:59 |
| paultag | doctormo: I just did not want to spend another 5 hours today polishing it | 15:59 |
| doctormo | So often the way | 16:00 |
| paultag | doctormo: pushed source at http://github.com/whube/whublog | 16:00 |
| paultag | doctormo: and also on lp:whube | 16:00 |
| nigelb | 68 | 16:02 |
| nigelb | grr | 16:02 |
| AlanBell | paultag: I wrote a blog engine once, but dropped it once spam started, I couldn't be bothered developing spam defenses for it. | 16:03 |
| paultag | AlanBell: yeah I was thinking of that too. I was considering a Javascript posting system | 16:03 |
| paultag | AlanBell: but meh, so much work. | 16:03 |
| paultag | AlanBell: had full markdown support, though :) | 16:03 |
| AlanBell | excellent, markdown is cool | 16:04 |
| doctormo | paultag: thanks for sources :-) | 16:05 |
| paultag | doctormo: sure, all my web stuff is AGPL :) | 16:05 |
| paultag | I figure, why let it die if someone else cares | 16:05 |
| doctormo | paultag: With your lococ hat on, I got ical feeds for loco teams in the directory. | 16:05 |
| paultag | doctormo: outstanding. I remember dholbach was working on that, but it's great to hear it's working ( finally ) | 16:06 |
| paultag | doctormo: thanks a ton | 16:06 |
| doctormo | We should be able to recommend replacing individual google calendar feeds for locos after some testing. | 16:06 |
| paultag | for sure | 16:06 |
| paultag | doctormo: thanks for doing that, you rock | 16:08 |
| doctormo | paultag: I said I'd put some time into the code :-D | 16:11 |
| nigelb | paultag: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelbabu/ | 16:13 |
| nigelb | in the process of uploading, patience appreciated :D | 16:13 |
| paultag | doctormo: :) | 16:15 |
| paultag | nigelb: kickass, let me know when they are all up :) | 16:15 |
| nigelb | paultag: keep refreshing ;) | 16:16 |
| paultag | nigelb: :) | 16:16 |
| nigelb | paultag: all done! | 16:17 |
| nigelb | paultag: guess which one's me :p | 16:20 |
| paultag | nigelb: I know what you look like :P | 16:20 |
| nigelb | heh | 16:20 |
| paultag | nigelb: we are facebook friends, you nerd | 16:21 |
| nigelb | hahaha | 16:21 |
| nigelb | good point, I forgot | 16:21 |
| paultag | :) | 16:22 |

| paultag | nigelb: http://blog.pault.ag/ | 17:04 |
| * nigelb toasts with paultag :) | 17:05 | |
| * paultag holds cup in air | 17:05 | |
| paultag | Just finished tagging and sorting | 17:05 |
| nigelb | I love your theme | 17:05 |
| nigelb | minimalist is always rocking | 17:05 |
| paultag | thank you :) | 17:05 |
| paultag | I miss my old one | 17:05 |
| paultag | I spent some time hacking that one, the original was great, but I love my mod | 17:06 |
| paultag | Now, time to get it back on the planet | 17:06 |
| paultag | I'm really peeved off at screen's low ram handling | 17:09 |
| doctormo | paultag: I'll be heading out soon for DebConf, we'll have to do that coffee break next week when I get back. | 19:00 |
| paultag | doctormo: kk sure thing | 19:01 |
| paultag | doctormo: good luck! | 19:01 |
| nigelb | doctormo: happy journey | 19:02 |
| doctormo | Thanks paultag and nigelb, I think luck isn't needed. A strong constitution might be an idea though. ;-) | 19:03 |

| doctormo | paultag: you know you've flooded the planet? | 19:50 |
| nigelb | LOL LOL LOL! The irony! http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/07/31/u-s-copyright-group-caught-stealing-competitors-code/ | 19:55 |
| duanedesign | nigelb: glad to hear your Ubuntu Hour went well | 20:39 |
| * duanedesign just got back from the Tulsa LUG/OKlahoma LoCo monthly meeting | 20:40 | |
| duanedesign | and i forgot to take pictures :/ | 20:40 |
| doctormo | Is it very quiet today or is it just my internet connection? | 21:24 |
| doctormo | pleia2: how are you today? | 21:24 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: looks like you had an Ubuntu Hour too. Was that this weekend? | 22:30 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Nope, paultag's blog just reposted everything since he redid his blog. That Ubuntu hour was er, 4 weeks ago? | 22:32 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Thanks for asking though, we're looking forward to having another | 22:32 |
| sense | For the interested: the frontpage of http://guadec.org/ now shows a 7 * 7 grid of GUADEC 2010 photo thumbnails. | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | haha | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: ^^ | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: looks fun. I recently merged the OKlahoma loCo meetups with the Monthly Tulsa LoCo meetings | 22:33 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Interesting, did it go well? | 22:34 |
| duanedesign | there was the occasional month when noone would show. This ensures a healthy turnout | 22:34 |
| doctormo | Man some people o this bus are hogging all the bandwidth with their youtube | 22:34 |
| duanedesign | the Tulsa LUG has a solid 8 regular members. Add in the fluctuating 1-6 Oklahoma loco participants and we have a nice meetup | 22:35 |
| duanedesign | though we struggle to have demos that please both the new users and the power users | 22:35 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: You have demos? interesting, something we've never really done at MA | 22:37 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: how is groundcontrol development going? | 22:37 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Good, we got some pre-2.0 fixes in and the test suite is rockin, we got a dbus service going and it's all looking good. | 22:38 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: yes every month someone gives a talk on a subject. We meet at the library so we have projectors and grease boards. Makes the demos nice | 22:38 |
| doctormo | I don't know though if it'll be in time for Maverick, I still hope so. But it might be that we release 1.6.3 to maverick and 2.0 to a ppa. | 22:38 |
| duanedesign | i was also doing a seperate coffee shop informal meetup. We would set up a computer with Ubuntu for the coffee shop visitors to use | 22:39 |
| duanedesign | let them use it for 10 minutes then use the opportunity to talk to them about Ubuntu. 'Did you know the computer you are using is run on free software?' | 22:40 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: glad groundcontrol is going well. I credit that app for cleaning up my 'Projects' folder | 22:41 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: You use it often? | 22:42 |
| duanedesign | i do. i would say 50/50. especially like it if i am not exactly sure which branch i need | 22:43 |
| duanedesign | with my dev projects i am very familiar with the branch names so i am inclined to use cli for those | 22:44 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Did you upgrade to 1.6.2 in my ppa? It contains an important fix for locking up on revert. | 22:49 |
| doctormo | ppa:doctormo/groundcontrol | 22:49 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: ahh. glad you mentioned that. I did a fresh install recently and have not got all my PPA's added back in. I will check.. | 22:51 |
| doctormo | the fact that you and cjohnston use ground control regular means it must be more than just a curiosity or novelty. | 22:52 |
| doctormo | I know I use it a lot, mix with the cli sometimes. | 22:52 |
| doctormo | Esp for merge requests :-) | 22:52 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: did you see on Planet i released a new version of CLIcompanion. That project is really starting to take shape. | 22:52 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: heh, right | 22:52 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: no, what is it? | 22:52 |
| duanedesign | http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/blog/?p=194 it allows you to store, search, and run commands from a GUI | 22:54 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Ah I remember that, I remember you telling me about that | 22:56 |
| doctormo | A bigger screenshot! :-) | 22:56 |
| duanedesign | that is a good idea | 22:57 |
| duanedesign | http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/4841650542_8006385774_b.jpg | 22:59 |
| duanedesign | :) | 22:59 |
| duanedesign | or at least have the picture in the post link to a bigger screenshot | 23:00 |
| doctormo | that is really what i meant | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: hey! good :) spent the day so far moving from a public storage unit into the ones we bought in the building we live in, phew | 23:34 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: hope things are well up there in MA :) | 23:34 |
| doctormo | pleia2: I think I might not be in MA anymore, I think I might be in NY, but it's hard to tell on this bus. | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: ah! have fun at debconf :) | 23:37 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Hope so! should be fun. | 23:38 |
| doctormo | paultag: woot! | 23:57 |
| paultag | hey doctormo :) | 23:57 |
| paultag | doctormo: how is it down south? | 23:58 |
| doctormo | paultag: I wouldn't know, I'm not there yet | 23:58 |
| paultag | Cool | 23:58 |
| paultag | bus, then? | 23:58 |
| paultag | I take it it has wifi on the bus? | 23:58 |
| paultag | that or a data plan | 23:59 |
