akkTwo for two women keynoters!00:45
pleia2yeah, I noticed that the other night and smiled :)00:47
pleia2yay leigh and jane!00:47
pleia2kinda makes me think "are we done? can we pack up the ubuntu women project and go home now?" ;)00:49
nhainespleia2: it's not time to put the chairs on the tables and turn off the lights just yet.  :)00:49
pleia2well, hopefully some time in the next few years00:50
dragonjtatum, MarkDude: We have a slot available at Yahoo! LAMP Meetup next month, and I'm wondering if there's something you'd like to present.01:29
dragonpleia2, Yasumoto, jledbetter, others in the area who might be interested in presenting, please see above ^01:30
MarkDudeFedora and the lampstack of course01:30
dragonMarkDude: Fedora vs Ubuntu?01:30
MarkDudeAfter that I can do Slackware and LAMP01:31
MarkDudeNo vs01:31
dragonalright, I think that sounds reasonable.01:31
dragonWhat'd be the content?01:31
MarkDudeIf I were doing a comparison, I would have 3 or more, and I dont really know that much more with the exception of Puppy:D01:32
* MarkDude looked into LAMP for Fedora at the same time as my last talk01:33
MarkDudePretty straight forward01:33
dragonWell, we discussed setting up LAMP on Ubuntu the last time. I was hoping for something more technical this time.01:33
dragonjtatum talked about PHP on Ubuntu, right?01:33
MarkDudeThen what the hell are you doing talking to me?01:33
MarkDudelol01:34
dragonMarkDude: you don't have to be a developer to give a techie talk ;)01:34
* MarkDude kids. I was thinking I would do the talk in a similar fashion to jtatum did 01:35
MarkDudeAll professional, with slides matching.01:35
dragonyep, and also if you know someone else who's willing to talk, that works too.01:35
dragono.O01:35
MarkDudehttp://fedorasolved.org/server-solutions/lamp-stack01:36
MarkDudeIts called unity -lol01:37
dragonNamespace collision01:37
dragonsetting up a Python framework on Linux would be a good talk too.01:37
dragonDoing a hello world in Django ain't that easy.01:38
dragonWill 2/24 work for the LAMP meetup? I suppose not, since SCaLE is on the following weekend.01:42
MarkDudeHmmm01:42
MarkDudeWhen is the Ignite at the Dojo?01:43
MarkDudeDid you see what Van sent out?01:43
pleia2I saw a cancel notice01:43
MarkDudeYes and a link to the dojo having one01:43
MarkDudeand taking Speaker suggestion/ideas01:44
pleia2ahhttp://events.hackerdojo.com/event/383001-ignite-silicon-valley-301:44
pleia2feb 11th01:44
MarkDudeCool01:44
MarkDudedragon, can we do confirmation on it tomorrow?01:46
dragonyes, MarkDude.01:46
dragonProposed date is 2/1701:46
MarkDudeCan I Ustream it01:46
MarkDude?01:47
jledbetterdragon, Can't but thank you for thinking of me:)01:47
jledbetterMarkDude, And you are hilarious, sir :)01:47
dragonMarkDude: yes, of course!01:48
dragonjledbetter: you're welcome. :) If you have anyone else in mind who might be interested and available, it'd be great!01:49
jledbetterdragon, Maybe nUb? He's offline though.01:53
jledbetterOh! And ustreaming? srsly? That'd rock :) Saw some from nygivecamp and thought it was a fantastic idea. Surprised more don't do it.01:53
* MarkDude has his video from his session on the Ustream01:54
MarkDudeHorrible video01:54
MarkDudeOk sound01:54
dragonMarkDude: this time we could use the phone to stream directly. I think it stores things offline and uploads them differently to improve the quality.01:55
MarkDudeIt is real easy to do, the camera is not so great on this machine. We had a wireless mic- made into a directional using a dixie cup01:55
dragonOh yeah, that part worked well I suppose!01:56
MarkDudeSure. we could do the phone thing direct01:56
MarkDudejledbetter, maybe another time we can have our names on the same bill.01:57
jledbetterMarkDude, Yep :) For sure!01:59
* jledbetter will warm up the crowd for ya.02:00
MarkDudelol02:00
* MarkDude has decided to let people vote on me wearing the Penguin suit for talk, when it is relevant02:00
MarkDudeLike it truly ever is, but, I digress...02:01
jledbetterlol02:02
pleia2btw, this is not diner food http://www.fogcitydiner.com/menu_dinner.html02:03
pleia2oh san francisco02:03
pleia2ur doin' it wrong02:03
jledbetterYou are correct. That is not. I guess that is "west coast diner" or "fusion diner" ;)02:06
MarkDudeThat is food people eat after returning home from drinking all night02:08
MarkDude3am party02:08
jledbetterOh? 3am party around here is Denny's :D02:09
jledbetterThough I absolutely loved Love N Haight. Mmmm.02:09
ekajjakehey03:31
MarkDudehello ekajjake03:44
ekajjakejust found this irc channel hha03:45
ekajjakewoo03:45
ekajjake!03:45
jtatumwelcome03:46
MarkDudeCalifornia Team, welcome03:47
jtatumhow'd you find us?03:47
ekajjakei was looking around the ubuntu wiki04:18
MarkDudeThere are ubuntu Hours in a few places in the state ekajjake04:53
MarkDudeIm Mark nice to meet you04:53
akkSpeaking of Ubuntu hours, http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california says mountain view is on Jan. 21 (that's Fri)04:55
akkbut http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/608/detail/ says it's Thu, 20 Jan04:56
rwwhuh, LoCo Directory does timezones now?04:57
rww(considering that it's on 21st in UTCland, perhaps timezones are new and it's a bug)05:00
rwwah, yes. the bug to track adding TZ support to LP got closed this past release, so timezones are new.05:02
rwws/LP/LD/05:02
akkugh -- if the events on that page are in UTC we should try to get the page to say so.05:04
akkNobody searching for an event on a page that says "California" would assume UTC by default.05:05
rwwindeed05:05
rwwreport a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/loco-directory/+filebug ;)05:06
akkShould I? Is this likely not known?05:07
rwwI didn't see a bug reported for it, half of the developers are in UTC or close to it, and that project really likes bug reports, so yes.05:07
akkokay, will do05:08
akkHmm, before I file the bug: I'm not convinced this is a timezone problem. The San Diego one says Jan 22 on the events page and also if I click through to the page just for that event.05:13
akkMaybe it's just that the Mountain View one was listed with the wrong date.05:13
rwwthe san diego one's in Jan 22 in UTC05:14
rwwif my hypothesis is right, anything in our timezone that's before 4PM UTC will look fine05:14
rwwsorry, 4PM local05:14
akkOh, it's 11am.05:14
rww(midnight UTC)05:14
akkAnd SCALE (which is also right) is probably also listed as a morning time.05:15
rwwyup. Looks like they're using the start date/time, which is 9am05:16

iheartubuntuhey seidos how are you doing in the new year!22:15
seidosiheartubuntu, not bad, not good22:15
seidosyou?22:15
iheartubuntuabout the same22:16
iheartubuntucant get a loan refi. sucks.22:16
iheartubuntuhouse half value as when i bought it (gulp)22:16
seidosi have property and i don't have property22:16
iheartubuntuenjoy ubuntu now that i skinned it with the dark version of elementary22:19
iheartubuntugosh, feels like a brand new system all of a sudden22:20
rwwI got a new power adapter for my netbook. 350MB of updates from now, I'll be able to play with Natty again ;)22:20
iheartubuntuhow is natty coming along?22:21
iheartubuntuive had to focus on other stuff lately22:22
rwwStill very alpha. devel releases tend to take about another month to be usable, and natty's no exception. Coding a whole new shell doesn't help that.22:22
iheartubuntuwe dont have to use unity do we?22:22
rwwalthough it probably got better in the last couple of weeks, we'll see22:23
iheartubuntui like 10.10 just the way it is!22:23
rwwiheartubuntu: no, there's an option for whether to use it or the regular gnome-panel desktop on the login screen22:23
iheartubuntuok whwew22:24
rwwassuming Unity and gnome-shell are both stable at release, GNOME will have three viable shells in 11.04. Should be interesting.22:24
akkUgh, is ubuntu going to start co-opting the term "shell" to mean "desktop environment"?22:25
* akk wonders what term we'll be able to use when we actually want to say "shell"22:25
* iheartubuntu switching back to dropbox :(22:26
rwwno. "shell" is the part of the desktop environment that the user clicks on to launch stuff22:26
rwwhence gnome-shell22:26
rww(well, launch stuff, see current time, etc. the stuff on the screen that isn't window decorations or applications ;)22:27
akkIt's still annoying that they're co-opting a perfectly good term that means something else already.22:27
akkThat's something microsoft loves to do.22:27
rwwI use KDE anyway, I'm just playing with this because I'm bored ;P22:29
rww(which uses the term "Plasma Workspace")22:30
iheartubuntuwhy KDE over gnome?22:35
iheartubuntujust curious22:35
rwwI like KDE's applications and the way things are laid out fit my workflow better.22:39
iheartubuntui guess thats why i like gnome in ubuntu :)22:40
iheartubuntui do like kde, but every time i use it, i have to relearn how to find my apps so i always end up back in gnome22:40
iheartubuntumaybe thats why im leery of unity22:41
rww*nods* desktop environment choice is subjective. Is why every time anything changes (buttons moving from right to left, anyone?), people get unhappy.22:41
MarkDudexserver has a nice simple clean Win 3.1 look22:44
nUboon2Ageakk: gnome-shell isn't an Ubuntu term afaik.  itsom GNOME i believe23:04
nUboon2Ageakk: gnome-shell isn't an Ubuntu term afaik.  its from GNOME i believe23:04
akkI know, gnome had the silly "gnome-shell", but that doesn't explain suddenly using the term "shell" to mean "some part of a desktop environment".23:05
nUboon2Agewhere is that happening akk?23:05
akk<rww> assuming Unity and gnome-shell are both stable at release, GNOME will have three viable shells in 11.04. Should be interesting.23:06
akk... bash, zsh and tcsh?23:06
rwwI note that the article on shells in wikipedia differentiates between GUI shells and CLI shells.23:07
pleia2I was using an alternate windows shell in 2001, so it's not a new application of the term, maybe just new-ish to the linux world?23:07
rwwWindows and other OSen also have a concept of GUI shells. This isn't a GNOME thing.23:07
rwwpleia2: indeed23:07
rwwlitestep <323:07
pleia2same :)23:07
akkAh, so it's microsoft co-opting terms again! And it's only recently that ubuntu is picking it up.23:08
rwwor it's one of the valid definitions of the word "shell" and you haven't encountered it before ;)23:08
akkI had never heard anyone use the term in relation to any MS GUI, but I don't spend much time in the MS world.23:09
pleia2I think swapping out shells in Windows isn't very common because explorer is so super integrated with everything, so you don't hear about it too much23:13
pleia2(litestep when I used it wasn't exactly the most stable thing in the world, it just looked cool and gave me more customization options than explorer)23:15
pleia2luckily I soon saw the light and learned that linux was even *more* customizable - and stable! :)23:15
nUboon2Agei've seen talk of "Powershell" in Winduhs. don't know much about it.23:33
nhainesPowershell is a new CLI shell for Windows.23:37
rwwWell, Unity doesn't work at all after natty updates. So that's fun.23:44
seidosweeeee23:49
rwwand nautilus just crashed.23:50
rwwtime to see if Kubuntu packages are doing any better ;)23:51
