[02:08] akgraner: A perl special? sounds awesome. [02:14] doctormo, http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Resources/Special-Editions/Powerhouse-Perl [02:15] akgraner: Wonderful, thanks. BTW how has your day been. [02:19] pretty good! spent the day with some much needed family time :-) [02:19] and worked on my interview with pete [03:36] akgraner: aha, thanks for the tip on the perl special. [03:39] akgraner: you're interviewing pete? [04:11] "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 :) [04:14] nigelb: who said that? [04:15] Carla Schroder - http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2010-07-30-028-35-OS-CY-UB [04:15] 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." [06:01] nigelb: yes my first distro was debian. Needless to say the community was less than friendly [06:02] nigelb: carla is one of my heroes :) [06:03] pleia2: she wrote a very sensible article [06:04] "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] yeah, that's the hugging everyone thing we get teased about [06:06] hahaha [06:06] we should give her a group hug :p [06:07] lol [06:08] I helped edit her linux networking cookbook [06:08] wow [06:10] http://princessleia.com/images/journalpics/032008/LNC_thanks.jpg [06:10] :) [06:10] no in-print thanks because she forgot (doh!) but this was nice [06:11] wow [06:12] but really, most folks get attracted to the community in ubuntu [06:12] yeah [06:12] I still run a fair amount of debian to be honest, but here I am [06:12] heh, I know [06:13] noone cares if you're a developer or not :) [06:13] you're still important to us... just as everyone is :) [06:13] paulproteus has been nagging me to at least becoming a formal DM [06:14] that was a good article nigelb [06:14] duanedesign: yeah, of all the ones I read. I like that best [06:14] pleia2: you probably should :) [06:15] i liked jonos rebuttal on that topic but an 'outsiders' opinion probably will be taken better. [06:15] for lack of a better way to put that :P [06:15] Also code commits are the only thing considered [06:15] no one thought of patches [06:16] yeah, it really is package maintainer centric [06:16] and ubuntu devs are becoming DDs, which is great [06:17] im going to get my key signed at debconf in preparation for eventual DMness [06:17] yes, plenty of them. Most people don't want to do merges like zack said :) [06:17] maco: yay! [06:17] maco: didn't you get it signed at some UDS before? [06:17] haven't you rather [06:17] I got my key signed by paulproteus last summer, right after he became a DD [06:17] nigelb: i dont think anyone who signed mine was a DD [06:18] pleia2: wait he counts? [06:18] maco: yep! [06:18] in that case my old key is signed by paulproteus [06:18] but i have a new one ill need to bug him about [06:18] heh [06:18] i just need *someone* to sign mine, lol [06:18] I need to get my key back [06:18] you lost it? [06:18] my key is old and small, I need to generate a new one I guess :( [06:18] nigelb: i inevitably lost my first one [06:19] maco: in my laptop which is in the shop [06:19] oh [06:19] pleia2: yes mine is small too....my key that is ;) [06:19] context++ [06:19] duanedesign: oh that was evil :p [06:20] but right now i dont use it a whole lot. Since i lost my first one I am hesitant to make yet another [06:22] 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 [06:24] good idea [11:50] good morning [11:51] morning sense [11:52] hi Pendulum o/ [15:37] Morning sense and AlanBell [15:52] wooo ubuntu bangalore meet up was a sucess! [15:52] We even had a DD come in :) [15:52] nigelb: <3 [15:52] nigelb: congrats! [15:52] nigelb: do you have photos? [15:52] paultag: in the process of uploading [15:52] nigelb: let me know when they're online [15:53] paultag: just connected cam to laptop and nothing happened [15:53] :( [15:53] nigelb: >:( [15:53] nigelb: yank it's datacard [15:53] nigelb: throw it in the lappy [15:53] paultag: this laptop was made before that technology was invented :p [15:53] >:( [15:58] Hey paultag [15:58] hey doctormo [15:58] doctormo: just setting up my new domain, going back to wordpress after a 5 hour failed blog engine [15:59] paultag: your own php awesomeness? [15:59] doctormo: yeah, based on Whube [15:59] You code had problems or you just didn't have the resources to get it done? [15:59] 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] doctormo: I just did not want to spend another 5 hours today polishing it [16:00] So often the way [16:00] doctormo: pushed source at http://github.com/whube/whublog [16:00] doctormo: and also on lp:whube [16:02] 68 [16:02] grr [16:03] 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] AlanBell: yeah I was thinking of that too. I was considering a Javascript posting system [16:03] AlanBell: but meh, so much work. [16:03] AlanBell: had full markdown support, though :) [16:04] excellent, markdown is cool [16:05] paultag: thanks for sources :-) [16:05] doctormo: sure, all my web stuff is AGPL :) [16:05] I figure, why let it die if someone else cares [16:05] paultag: With your lococ hat on, I got ical feeds for loco teams in the directory. [16:06] doctormo: outstanding. I remember dholbach was working on that, but it's great to hear it's working ( finally ) [16:06] doctormo: thanks a ton [16:06] We should be able to recommend replacing individual google calendar feeds for locos after some testing. [16:06] for sure [16:08] doctormo: thanks for doing that, you rock [16:11] paultag: I said I'd put some time into the code :-D [16:13] paultag: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelbabu/ [16:13] in the process of uploading, patience appreciated :D [16:15] doctormo: :) [16:15] nigelb: kickass, let me know when they are all up :) [16:16] paultag: keep refreshing ;) [16:16] nigelb: :) [16:17] paultag: all done! [16:20] paultag: guess which one's me :p [16:20] nigelb: I know what you look like :P [16:20] heh [16:21] nigelb: we are facebook friends, you nerd [16:21] hahaha [16:21] good point, I forgot [16:22] :) [17:02] \o/ http://justanothertriager.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/ubuntu-hour-in-bangalore/ [17:02] paultag: ^^ [17:02] also, pleia2 and maco ^ [17:03] ohai [17:03] sec [17:03] nigelb: congrats, really stellar work. [17:03] nigelb: keep it up [17:04] :) [17:04] nigelb: I present my new blog [17:04] nigelb: http://blog.pault.ag/ [17:05] * nigelb toasts with paultag :) [17:05] * paultag holds cup in air [17:05] Just finished tagging and sorting [17:05] I love your theme [17:05] minimalist is always rocking [17:05] thank you :) [17:05] I miss my old one [17:06] I spent some time hacking that one, the original was great, but I love my mod [17:06] Now, time to get it back on the planet [17:09] I'm really peeved off at screen's low ram handling [19:00] paultag: I'll be heading out soon for DebConf, we'll have to do that coffee break next week when I get back. [19:01] doctormo: kk sure thing [19:01] doctormo: good luck! [19:02] doctormo: happy journey [19:03] Thanks paultag and nigelb, I think luck isn't needed. A strong constitution might be an idea though. ;-) === paultag is now known as Guest98210 === Guest98210 is now known as paultag_ [19:50] paultag: you know you've flooded the planet? [19:55] LOL LOL LOL! The irony! http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/07/31/u-s-copyright-group-caught-stealing-competitors-code/ [20:39] nigelb: glad to hear your Ubuntu Hour went well [20:40] * duanedesign just got back from the Tulsa LUG/OKlahoma LoCo monthly meeting [20:40] and i forgot to take pictures :/ [21:24] Is it very quiet today or is it just my internet connection? [21:24] pleia2: how are you today? [22:30] doctormo: looks like you had an Ubuntu Hour too. Was that this weekend? [22:32] duanedesign: Nope, paultag's blog just reposted everything since he redid his blog. That Ubuntu hour was er, 4 weeks ago? [22:32] duanedesign: Thanks for asking though, we're looking forward to having another [22:32] For the interested: the frontpage of http://guadec.org/ now shows a 7 * 7 grid of GUADEC 2010 photo thumbnails. [22:32] haha [22:32] doctormo: ^^ [22:33] doctormo: looks fun. I recently merged the OKlahoma loCo meetups with the Monthly Tulsa LoCo meetings [22:34] duanedesign: Interesting, did it go well? [22:34] there was the occasional month when noone would show. This ensures a healthy turnout [22:34] Man some people o this bus are hogging all the bandwidth with their youtube [22:35] 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] though we struggle to have demos that please both the new users and the power users [22:37] duanedesign: You have demos? interesting, something we've never really done at MA [22:37] doctormo: how is groundcontrol development going? [22:38] 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] 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] 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. [22:39] 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 [22:40] 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?' [22:41] doctormo: glad groundcontrol is going well. I credit that app for cleaning up my 'Projects' folder [22:42] duanedesign: You use it often? [22:43] i do. i would say 50/50. especially like it if i am not exactly sure which branch i need [22:44] with my dev projects i am very familiar with the branch names so i am inclined to use cli for those [22:49] duanedesign: Did you upgrade to 1.6.2 in my ppa? It contains an important fix for locking up on revert. [22:49] ppa:doctormo/groundcontrol [22:51] 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.. [22:52] the fact that you and cjohnston use ground control regular means it must be more than just a curiosity or novelty. [22:52] I know I use it a lot, mix with the cli sometimes. [22:52] Esp for merge requests :-) [22:52] doctormo: did you see on Planet i released a new version of CLIcompanion. That project is really starting to take shape. [22:52] doctormo: heh, right [22:52] duanedesign: no, what is it? [22:54] http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/blog/?p=194 it allows you to store, search, and run commands from a GUI [22:56] duanedesign: Ah I remember that, I remember you telling me about that [22:56] A bigger screenshot! :-) [22:57] that is a good idea [22:59] http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/4841650542_8006385774_b.jpg [22:59] :) [23:00] or at least have the picture in the post link to a bigger screenshot [23:07] that is really what i meant [23:34] 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] doctormo: hope things are well up there in MA :) [23:37] 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] doctormo: ah! have fun at debconf :) [23:38] pleia2: Hope so! should be fun. [23:57] paultag: woot! [23:57] hey doctormo :) [23:58] doctormo: how is it down south? [23:58] paultag: I wouldn't know, I'm not there yet [23:58] Cool [23:58] bus, then? [23:58] I take it it has wifi on the bus? [23:59] that or a data plan
