[21:32] <fisch246> i always feel like i'm bothering tony >.<
[21:33] <fisch246> he's a nice guy, but i never really know with him
[21:34] <fisch246> cause i take our chapter so seriously...
[21:48] <tonyyarusso> hehe
[21:48]  * tonyyarusso pulls up the question I'm supposed to be answering
[21:48] <tonyyarusso> ah, right - events
[21:49] <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!
[21:50] <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?
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <fisch246> near 169
[21:55] <fisch246> i don't have facilities to host anything
[21:56] <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.
[21:57] <tonyyarusso> Nor is there any particular expense necessary.  Usually the only thing on that front is pitching in to order pizza or something.
[21:58] <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
[21:59] <fisch246> maybe someone can bring an xbox, and DnD or something haha
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <fisch246> i mean hanging out and talking about linux is fine with me
[22:02] <fisch246> meeting new friends
[22:02] <fisch246> being an introvert it's pretty hard to find people who have the same interests...
[22:03] <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
[22:07] <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.
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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
[22:13] <fisch246> i don't see a place to register
[22:13] <fisch246> as in...
[22:13] <fisch246> i don't have a community account
[22:14] <tonyyarusso> oh, ha, that's right
[22:15] <tonyyarusso> fisch246: Do you have a Launchpad account?
[22:15] <fisch246> yup
[22:15]  * tonyyarusso tries to remember how this is configured currently
[22:16] <tonyyarusso> ooooooooh
[22:28] <fisch246> test
[22:28] <fisch246> hm...
[22:28] <fisch246> odd
[22:40] <tonyyarusso> fisch246: Try refreshing the main page, http://ubuntu-minnesota.org/ - do you see a log in button on the lower left?
[22:41] <fisch246> yea i do
[22:41] <fisch246> noice!
[22:41] <tonyyarusso> click that :)
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <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.
[22:44] <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.
[22:45] <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...
[22:46] <fisch246> then set a place when we know where everyone is coming from
[22:47] <fisch246> maybe i can log the RSVB into a table on spreadsheet
[22:47] <fisch246> and post it as it gets updated
[22:48] <tonyyarusso> No need - we have Drupal modules for such things if we want to use them.
[22:49] <fisch246> drupal?
[22:50] <fisch246> btw... what's the difference between edit, and revision?
[22:50] <fisch246> o nvm
[22:50] <fisch246> i get it
[22:51] <tonyyarusso> Drupal's the CMS the site runs on.
[22:52] <fisch246> o ok
[22:52] <fisch246> o ew... http...
[22:52] <fisch246> we should emplace some blogging software...
[22:54] <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
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <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...
[23:01] <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.
[23:08] <fisch246> i know >.<
[23:08] <fisch246> but for blogging i currently have to type in PHP
[23:08] <fisch246> i hate that language...
[23:09] <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.
[23:10] <fisch246> o... did i press the wrong button then?
[23:10] <fisch246> o my god...
[23:10] <fisch246> i did...
[23:10] <fisch246> XD
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <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*
[23:14] <tonyyarusso> probably just a party if you want to start simple - full-blown installfests take a little more preparation.
[23:15] <fisch246> is it easy to edit things later?
[23:16] <tonyyarusso> yup
[23:21] <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> :/
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <fisch246> ah i'll just send it now
