fisch246 | i always feel like i'm bothering tony >.< | 21:32 |
---|---|---|
fisch246 | he's a nice guy, but i never really know with him | 21:33 |
fisch246 | cause i take our chapter so seriously... | 21:34 |
tonyyarusso | hehe | 21:48 |
* tonyyarusso pulls up the question I'm supposed to be answering | 21:48 | |
tonyyarusso | ah, right - events | 21:48 |
tonyyarusso | Absolutely you should hold some. | 21:49 |
tonyyarusso | We have a few from time to time, but not nearly enough. If you want to organize something, by all means do it! | 21:49 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: Where in the state are you? I know some people have been clamoring for something in the SW suburbs of the Cities, and I know Visi's big over there, so perhaps you'd be able to do that? | 21:50 |
fisch246 | i'm in minnetonka according to google >.< | 21:54 |
fisch246 | because my city is too small | 21:54 |
fisch246 | but i'm right off of 7 | 21:54 |
fisch246 | near 169 | 21:55 |
fisch246 | i don't have facilities to host anything | 21:55 |
fisch246 | but if we all pitched in on the money part, i could try and pull something together... | 21:56 |
fisch246 | however i'm not great with dealing with a lot of people... | 21:56 |
fisch246 | so if i have someone who can, i can plan it, and they can deal with the people haha | 21:56 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: Facilities are ridiculously easy to find - I wouldn't worry about that. | 21:56 |
tonyyarusso | Nor is there any particular expense necessary. Usually the only thing on that front is pitching in to order pizza or something. | 21:57 |
fisch246 | so what kinds of things would you guys want to do? | 21:58 |
fisch246 | just talk and figure out if people can help with projects? | 21:58 |
fisch246 | cause i'm working on 3 different projects related to linux, and then school | 21:58 |
fisch246 | maybe someone can bring an xbox, and DnD or something haha | 21:59 |
fisch246 | eventually it can turn into something like, we hold seminars, for teaching people about Ubuntu and/or programming | 22:00 |
fisch246 | so teaching about "Systems" and "Programming" | 22:00 |
fisch246 | idk if you guys want to work with community or not | 22:00 |
fisch246 | i mean hanging out and talking about linux is fine with me | 22:01 |
fisch246 | meeting new friends | 22:02 |
fisch246 | being an introvert it's pretty hard to find people who have the same interests... | 22:02 |
fisch246 | and if we end up doing this sort of thing more often, i can fix up a website or use the email list to tell people of events... | 22:03 |
fisch246 | i think website would be better, since people may not want to know about events | 22:03 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: any and all of the above are good ideas. TCLUG / Penguins Unbound do monthly seminar / presentation things, which works well. That's not Ubuntu-specific though - distro-agnostic group that twice a year teams up with us for Ubuntu release parties. | 22:07 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: also, we have a web site all ready to go - we just need the events to post on it :) | 22:08 |
fisch246 | o ok | 22:08 |
fisch246 | am i allowed posting rights? | 22:09 |
tonyyarusso | Not yet, but it can be arranged easily. See if you can apply for an account at http://ubuntu-minnesota.org/user | 22:09 |
fisch246 | i don't see a place to register | 22:13 |
fisch246 | as in... | 22:13 |
fisch246 | i don't have a community account | 22:13 |
tonyyarusso | oh, ha, that's right | 22:14 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: Do you have a Launchpad account? | 22:15 |
fisch246 | yup | 22:15 |
* tonyyarusso tries to remember how this is configured currently | 22:15 | |
tonyyarusso | ooooooooh | 22:16 |
fisch246 | test | 22:28 |
fisch246 | hm... | 22:28 |
fisch246 | odd | 22:28 |
tonyyarusso | fisch246: Try refreshing the main page, http://ubuntu-minnesota.org/ - do you see a log in button on the lower left? | 22:40 |
fisch246 | yea i do | 22:41 |
fisch246 | noice! | 22:41 |
tonyyarusso | click that :) | 22:41 |
fisch246 | ah i know! | 22:42 |
tonyyarusso | huzzah, it even assigned you the role properly. Yay me. | 22:42 |
fisch246 | a natty release party :D | 22:42 |
fisch246 | doesn't have to be on the day of the release btw | 22:43 |
tonyyarusso | of course | 22:43 |
tonyyarusso | We've usually done the weekend immediately after or one after that. | 22:43 |
tonyyarusso | Penguins Unbound does them on Saturday, usually like 10-4. h00k did a thing in Superior, WI on a Friday night at a restaurant. | 22:44 |
fisch246 | well i think we should set a date, but not place... | 22:45 |
fisch246 | then get people to register for the event | 22:45 |
fisch246 | get people's information and whereabout... | 22:45 |
fisch246 | then set a place when we know where everyone is coming from | 22:46 |
fisch246 | maybe i can log the RSVB into a table on spreadsheet | 22:47 |
fisch246 | and post it as it gets updated | 22:47 |
tonyyarusso | No need - we have Drupal modules for such things if we want to use them. | 22:48 |
fisch246 | drupal? | 22:49 |
fisch246 | btw... what's the difference between edit, and revision? | 22:50 |
fisch246 | o nvm | 22:50 |
fisch246 | i get it | 22:50 |
tonyyarusso | Drupal's the CMS the site runs on. | 22:51 |
fisch246 | o ok | 22:52 |
fisch246 | o ew... http... | 22:52 |
fisch246 | we should emplace some blogging software... | 22:52 |
fisch246 | o sorry i think it's actually php | 22:54 |
fisch246 | wow i'm tired >.< | 22:54 |
fisch246 | i just called the code http... i was meaning html | 22:54 |
tonyyarusso | uh, it is a form of blogging software - what do you mean? | 22:56 |
fisch246 | i know... | 22:56 |
fisch246 | but it's in php | 22:56 |
fisch246 | instead of a gui system | 22:57 |
fisch246 | mind if i use this as the picture of the event? haha http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ra5vgG72iSk/THFErzWA3LI/AAAAAAAAAKE/NQLssOeqgxQ/s1600/ubuntu_natty_300.jpg | 22:57 |
tonyyarusso | "gui system"? You just compared a programming language to an interface category....are you drunk? ;) | 22:58 |
tonyyarusso | I don't mind if you use it, but you'll need to check the terms from the author first. | 22:58 |
fisch246 | ha :P | 22:58 |
fisch246 | well that's what i mean... | 22:59 |
fisch246 | instead of having a programming language... | 22:59 |
fisch246 | have a gui system... | 22:59 |
fisch246 | make it easier... | 22:59 |
tonyyarusso | .... | 23:01 |
tonyyarusso | Dude, that doesn't make any sense. | 23:01 |
tonyyarusso | "GUI systems" are written *in* programming languages - they don't replace them. | 23:01 |
fisch246 | i know >.< | 23:08 |
fisch246 | but for blogging i currently have to type in PHP | 23:08 |
fisch246 | i hate that language... | 23:08 |
fisch246 | i prefer it if someone wrote a gui, so i didn't have to use PHP | 23:09 |
fisch246 | i'm a programmer... i know how this stuff works :P | 23:09 |
tonyyarusso | ... | 23:09 |
tonyyarusso | There is absolutely no reason why you would need to write a single line of PHP code to post on this site. | 23:09 |
fisch246 | o... did i press the wrong button then? | 23:10 |
fisch246 | o my god... | 23:10 |
fisch246 | i did... | 23:10 |
fisch246 | XD | 23:10 |
tonyyarusso | what did you break... | 23:12 |
fisch246 | nothing don't worry | 23:12 |
fisch246 | i'm not one to mess around with code until something works :P | 23:12 |
fisch246 | have more faith tony :P | 23:13 |
fisch246 | alright anyway.... | 23:13 |
fisch246 | do you think it should be a release fest or installfest? | 23:13 |
fisch246 | XD | 23:13 |
fisch246 | release party* | 23:13 |
tonyyarusso | probably just a party if you want to start simple - full-blown installfests take a little more preparation. | 23:14 |
fisch246 | is it easy to edit things later? | 23:15 |
tonyyarusso | yup | 23:16 |
fisch246 | mmk i'm gonna type up something in a text file first... | 23:21 |
fisch246 | cause i have to head out | 23:21 |
fisch246 | :/ | 23:21 |
fisch246 | so when i have everything typed out, i'll paste it in | 23:22 |
fisch246 | and feel free to revise it, if it looks confusing and what not | 23:22 |
tonyyarusso | sure | 23:22 |
fisch246 | want my number or email to get a hold of me? | 23:22 |
fisch246 | it will be sent by pm btw | 23:22 |
fisch246 | ah i'll just send it now | 23:23 |
