| * holstein finally read the back log of the meeting | 05:16 | |
| kim0 | Hey folks .. as part of growing ubuntu-server's community, I've launched an app that encourages ubuntu-server users to mark their city | 11:03 |
|---|---|---|
| kim0 | If you can help spread the news (asap, since the release is this Thursday) that would be great | 11:04 |
| kim0 | The app is at http://maps.ubuntu.com/ .. The detailed blog post at http://foss-boss.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-server-10041-virtual-release.html .. Retweet http://twitter.com/CloudUbuntu | 11:04 |
| scott_ev | kim0: tell me a little more | 11:19 |
| kim0 | scott_ev: check out the blogpost | 11:19 |
| kim0 | should basically have everything you need | 11:19 |
| scott_ev | I can read but I might as well hear it from the sdev | 11:19 |
| scott_ev | dev | 11:19 |
| kim0 | Well as you can see it's an iniatiative to have the world'd major cities marked on a world map as having ubuntu server running in them | 11:20 |
| kim0 | this serves to ensure confidence and to grow the server community | 11:21 |
| scott_ev | nice idea | 11:21 |
| kim0 | the blog has cli ways with which to hit the app | 11:21 |
| scott_ev | and you're hosting the map? | 11:21 |
| kim0 | to be cool from a serverish prespective :) | 11:21 |
| kim0 | it's a google map | 11:21 |
| scott_ev | gotcha | 11:21 |
| kim0 | and we're generating a custom overlay | 11:21 |
| kim0 | with cute little ubuntu logos | 11:22 |
| scott_ev | sweet | 11:22 |
| scott_ev | I'm getting ready to install server again here in a few min so I'll take advantage of your app | 11:22 |
| kim0 | Since it would be embarrising if most cities would remain unmarked till Thursday | 11:22 |
| kim0 | please spread the news as much as possible and ping me if you need any data | 11:22 |
| scott_ev | I'm in the Phoenix area | 11:22 |
| scott_ev | kk | 11:22 |
| scott_ev | I'll send the info to our LoCo team this morning | 11:23 |
| kim0 | cool | 11:23 |
| kim0 | I'll try to get it slashdotted/dugg so forth .. | 11:23 |
| scott_ev | we have a couple hundred on our mailing list | 11:23 |
| scott_ev | too bad I didn't know about this yesterday morning, I could have put it in the uwn | 11:24 |
| kim0 | anyway to get it on planet ubuntu and fridge | 11:24 |
| kim0 | ew sorry | 11:24 |
| scott_ev | yeah, I'll get it to teh news team | 11:24 |
| scott_ev | the* | 11:24 |
| kim0 | cool thanks man | 11:24 |
| scott_ev | since I'm on it | 11:24 |
| scott_ev | np | 11:24 |
| scott_ev | actually, I'll double check to see if the uwn actually did get posted already | 11:26 |
| kim0 | hehe :) | 11:26 |
| kim0 | ok | 11:26 |
| scott_ev | for future reference, we publish on sundays | 11:27 |
| kim0 | gotcha | 11:27 |
| scott_ev | akgraner is the news team lead | 11:27 |
| kim0 | good to know .. I guess she's asleep for now | 11:27 |
| scott_ev | more than likely | 11:27 |
| scott_ev | stay here a min | 11:28 |
| * kim0 not planning on leaving :) | 11:28 | |
| scott_ev | kk, looks as if we aren't publishing till monday as the wiki is still marked as a eork in progress | 11:29 |
| kim0 | yipee | 11:29 |
| kim0 | what's "kk" ? | 11:29 |
| scott_ev | double ok | 11:29 |
| kim0 | ah ok :) | 11:29 |
| scott_ev | or a lazy OK | 11:29 |
| scott_ev | this install of server I'm doing will be interesting | 11:30 |
| scott_ev | I'm doing a minimal install for virtuyalization to run ClearOS in a vm to make ldap easy | 11:31 |
| kim0 | looks interesting | 11:32 |
| scott_ev | sure spelled that wrong | 11:32 |
| scott_ev | it will be especially since it's embedded on a 4GB CF Card | 11:32 |
| kim0 | yummy :) is it ubuntu based ? | 11:33 |
| scott_ev | ClearOS was ClarkConnect which I believe was CentOS derived so it's originally Red Hat | 11:33 |
| kim0 | Yeah .. I kinda thought so too | 11:34 |
| kim0 | not sure why they had to change their name | 11:34 |
| scott_ev | I'm taking the path of less resistance here to test how well they have pulled off ldap | 11:35 |
| scott_ev | ldap is a true pita to set up | 11:35 |
| kim0 | did you try kerberos :D | 11:35 |
| scott_ev | it's using OpenRadius or Radius | 11:36 |
| kim0 | so for this piece of news to enter uwn, akgraner has to do it right ? | 11:36 |
| scott_ev | I can put it in there and make sure she knows about as she'll have final say-so | 11:37 |
| kim0 | Looks good .. please do | 11:37 |
| scott_ev | I'll add it in 'In the Blogosphere' | 11:37 |
| kim0 | np | 11:38 |
| scott_ev | OK, now, while it's installing the OS, I'll take a look at it. would you want to write a short summary or do you want me to do it? | 11:43 |
| scott_ev | OH, nevermind, we aren't writing summaries anymore | 11:46 |
| scott_ev | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue205 | 11:55 |
| scott_ev | scroll down to the bottom of 'in the blogosphere' | 11:55 |
| kim0 | cool thing :) | 11:59 |
| scott_ev | is that an accceptable summary? | 12:02 |
| scott_ev | how's this for a brain burner? installing server completed fine - the system took my inputs from the keyboard obviously. Now, after a reboot, the keyboard isn't recognized. It's a USB keyboard. I tried an adapter to use it as a ps/2 and still no luck....dang it | 12:21 |
| nhandler | scott_ev: We are moving to Mondays (based on the last meeting), just not sure when | 12:51 |
| akgraner | hey all what's up? | 12:56 |
| nhandler | akgraner: When is the switch to Monday publishing taking place? Now? | 12:59 |
| akgraner | Yep - I'll send out a =blurb in just a few | 13:00 |
| nhandler | :) | 13:00 |
| scott_ev | nhandler: thanks | 13:07 |
| scott_ev | I added something to 'in the blogosphere'..I hope that's ok | 13:08 |
| scott_ev | has anyone here installed ubuntu starting with the mini.iso? | 13:25 |
| scott_ev | it's ~16MB .iso | 13:26 |
| scott_ev | love it | 13:26 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: what's the link to the etherpad? I can't find it | 13:31 |
| scott_ev | https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en | 13:48 |
| Pendulum | that's the google doc, I thought we were mostly working off etherpad now | 13:48 |
| scott_ev | oh, sorry | 13:49 |
| Pendulum | oh, nevermind | 13:49 |
| Pendulum | I obviously miss the fact that the link to the etherpad is in the google doc | 13:49 |
| Pendulum | and the ehterpad seems to be empty so I'll work off the google doc | 13:50 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, I just added the links to the wiki this week - but you can copy and paste :-) | 14:08 |
| Pendulum | yeah, I have it all done :) | 14:09 |
| Pendulum | I just wasn't sure where to put the summaries, but they're now in the google dov | 14:09 |
| Pendulum | I'm not touching the wiki because my brain is a bit messed up and I don't want to cause any damage | 14:09 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, no worries :-) | 14:14 |
| akgraner | you rock! | 14:15 |
| scott_ev | You can do it | 14:15 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: I'm not going to be able to proofread today, sorry. I'm in haevy spoon defecit and reading/writing is hard enough without trying to think about grammar and punctuation | 14:16 |
| akgraner | no worries - I am rested and wide awake - :-) I appreciated all you have done already | 14:17 |
| scott_ev | akgraner: I'm free for proofreading if needed | 14:28 |
| akgraner | scott_ev, awesome it will probably be in about 3 hours | 14:29 |
| scott_ev | kk | 14:29 |
| scott_ev | man, I've installed server and went through the long install starting with mini.iso and both times the installer recognized my keyboard and both times it's not recognized after reboot | 14:31 |
| scott_ev | dayum | 14:31 |
| akgraner | hey folks just because we are publishing today the same cut off's apply | 15:27 |
| akgraner | stories posted on blogs today - will still need to go into next weeks UWN | 15:27 |
| akgraner | 1st through the 8th | 15:27 |
| akgraner | sorry 1st through the 7th | 15:28 |
| akgraner | 8th through 14th are next weeks | 15:28 |
| scott_ev | does that mean that the one I added is out? | 15:46 |
| scott_ev | it's very time sensitive | 15:46 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, will you be able to help summarize any of the planet posts? | 18:02 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, holstein do you all have some time to help summarize looks like onluy a few of the links I posted on Friday were actually summarized | 18:02 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: eek, I didn't realise there was so much left, yes I will | 18:04 |
| akgraner | I'll help as well | 18:04 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, we decided that all links would get posted by Friday so people had 2 days to work on their sections as well as during the week | 18:04 |
| akgraner | I'll be adding stuff daily from now on to make it easier for people | 18:05 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: ok that sounds like a much better workflow! | 18:07 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: btw, don't you think that teasers would work better than summaries? | 18:07 |
| akgraner | I'll finish up the GCN sections then help with the other sections | 18:08 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, people like to see the meat of the articles to decide if they should read the whole thing | 18:08 |
| akgraner | we need to give more than just one sentence - people could get one sentence anywhere :-/ | 18:08 |
| highvoltage | it feels like we give away too much and by the time they read the post there's not much point in doing so | 18:08 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, let's talk about this later | 18:09 |
| highvoltage | ok, np | 18:09 |
| akgraner | right now I need to get this finished up and out the door | 18:09 |
| holstein | akgraner: im here | 18:20 |
| holstein | and free :) | 18:21 |
| holstein | what do you need? | 18:21 |
| akgraner | holstein, can you give highvoltage a hand with the planet section | 18:21 |

| holstein | http://ietherpad.com/UWN ?? | 18:23 |
| holstein | maybe your in the 'ideas' one | 18:23 |
| holstein | highvoltage: what can i do? | 18:23 |

| holstein | highvoltage: if you can meet me in there for a minute, you can assign some to me :) | 18:26 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: eek, I have to run (the hazard of doing uwn summaries at work), I'm pasting the few I did so far... | 18:27 |
| holstein | highvoltage: which ones? | 18:27 |

| holstein | i would like to summarize that as 'From Mark Shuttleworth's blog... | 19:33 |
| holstein | its like summarizing a part of a personal conversation | 19:33 |

| holstein | http://gregdekspeaks.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/old-wounds/ | 19:34 |
| holstein | if interested | 19:34 |

| holstein | AH | 19:39 |
| holstein | well, let me take another crack at it then | 19:40 |
