| cong06 | yo! | 09:33 |
|---|---|---|
| ebel | yo! | 09:33 |
| ebel | what's up? | 09:33 |
| cong06 | not much. | 09:33 |
| cong06 | you? | 09:33 |
| ebel | Ah not much | 09:34 |
| cong06 | dude. I was just chilling in a channel for work, and some guy pops in... invites me to his channel | 11:33 |
| cong06 | and makes me an op there. | 11:33 |
| cong06 | it was bizare | 11:33 |
| ebel | hehehee | 11:33 |
| ebel | well people can make channels all the time :) | 11:33 |
| cong06 | now I'm an op in irc://lightirc.com/#jackerz | 11:33 |
| cong06 | *irc.lightirc.com | 11:34 |
| cong06 | that's true... | 11:34 |
| cong06 | so, ebel, tell me about yourself. How long ago did you start using ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| ebel | I've been using ubuntu for about 5 years now | 11:58 |
| ebel | How about yourself? | 11:58 |
| cong06 | I think the first installation was 6.10... | 11:58 |
| cong06 | but the first installation on a serious computer, for an extended period of time would have been 7.04 | 11:59 |
| cong06 | so maybe 3-4 years | 11:59 |
| cong06 | no, actually, I think i got the versions wrong | 11:59 |
| cong06 | it was 7.10 and 8.04 | 11:59 |
| cong06 | so 2-3 | 11:59 |
| cong06 | 5 years ago... that's pretty early on in Ubuntu's history | 12:00 |
| cong06 | I mean it's not that old, is it? | 12:00 |
| cong06 | LTS wasn't released until 6.06 iirc | 12:00 |
| ebel | First release was 4.10, so 2004 | 12:01 |
| ebel | I started around 5.10 or 6.06-ish | 12:02 |
| ebel | I've also been involved with the LoCo stuff since about 2007 or so | 12:02 |
| ebel | I'm the Point of Contact for the Ireland LoCo | 12:03 |
| cong06 | I can't remember what LoCo stands for... | 12:03 |
| ebel | Local Communitye | 12:06 |
| ebel | *Community | 12:06 |
| cong06 | ah. ok. | 12:07 |
| cong06 | I just figured out that if I search "ubuntu loco" it might give good results :P | 12:07 |
| cong06 | so you live in Ireland? | 12:08 |
| ebel | heheh | 12:09 |
| ebel | Yeah I live in Ireland. | 12:09 |
| ebel | I've been to Kenay twice, in 2006 & 2008 | 12:09 |
| ebel | Hence why I'm on this channel :) | 12:10 |
| cong06 | ;) | 12:10 |
| cong06 | well, then I guess we're both a bunch of foreigners. | 12:11 |
| cong06 | I'm from the US | 12:11 |
| cong06 | but I'm working in Kenya right now | 12:12 |
| ebel | Ah OK :) | 12:12 |
| ebel | Where abouts? | 12:12 |
| cong06 | in the US? Pennsylvania. in Kenya? Kimende | 12:12 |
| ebel | I was usually in Mombasa (& other coast places shortly, Malindi/Lamu) | 12:12 |
| cong06 | do you know Kimende? it's right before Kijabe | 12:12 |
| cong06 | on the way to Naivasha | 12:12 |
| cong06 | (from Nairobi) | 12:12 |
| cong06 | I've been to Mombasa, but not really for too long... I hope to travel back there sometime this year | 12:14 |
| ebel | Ah Gotcha :) | 12:14 |
| ebel | I was with Camara, an Irish NGO that sets up Ubuntu Computers in schools | 12:15 |
| cong06 | oh, that's kinda what I'm doing! | 12:17 |
| cong06 | though we're just using ubuntu cause it's free. we're trying to use computers to allow communication between schools | 12:17 |
| cong06 | so that students can learn from each other | 12:18 |
| cong06 | our primary objective is fighting against the conflict in 2007 | 12:18 |
| ebel | thought that was in 2008? | 12:19 |
| cong06 | yeah, you're right. I always think of the election in 2007 | 12:19 |
| cong06 | but the conflict was really 08 | 12:19 |
| ebel | Camara uses ubuntu and FLOSS to prevent lock in. | 12:20 |
| ebel | No point helping people get started on computers if they have to keep buying new MS software every few years! :) | 12:20 |
| ebel | (and it's free :) ) | 12:20 |
| cong06 | yeah, that is an issue. | 12:21 |
| ebel | also we could customise the installer | 12:22 |
| cong06 | I messed around with that some | 12:22 |
| ebel | To make it easy to install ubuntu on a few hunderd machines in parallel :) | 12:22 |
| cong06 | but I'm trying to keep everything simple | 12:22 |
| ebel | yeah. | 12:23 |
| ebel | Simple is good. | 12:23 |
| ebel | Cause you're not going to be there forever! | 12:23 |
| ebel | And when it breaks.... | 12:23 |
| cong06 | exactly. | 12:23 |
