| holstein | this is the first wednesday :/ | 03:04 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | no meeting | 03:04 |
| holstein | we got our official status | 03:04 |
| holstein | and kinda died off | 03:04 |
| holstein | unfortunately | 03:04 |
| holstein | or fortunately, depending on how you look at it | 03:05 |
| holstein | ive gotten busy | 03:05 |
| holstein | and cant really help out as much as i was once before | 03:05 |
| holstein | but, we should try and have a brainstroming via mailing list | 03:05 |
| holstein | or here | 03:05 |
| holstein | cause, its dead like disco in here | 03:05 |
| _marx_ | disco is dead? | 03:12 |
| _marx_ | i'm up at five tomorrow | 03:13 |
| _marx_ | on the road by 6 | 03:13 |
| holstein | disco is what it is | 03:13 |
| holstein | this channel/team is dead | 03:13 |
| _marx_ | i came in in late '08 or so | 03:17 |
| _marx_ | bored unemployed Carpenter | 03:17 |
| holstein | well, as of 10:14pm EST today | 03:17 |
| holstein | this place is dry | 03:18 |
| holstein | _marx_: you still having ubuntu hours at crankies? | 03:18 |
| _marx_ | geeks are lame, too busy making money or coding or living just like us blue collar types | 03:18 |
| _marx_ | been working saturdays lately | 03:19 |
| _marx_ | booked this sat | 03:19 |
| _marx_ | should be 150 or so cash | 03:19 |
| holstein | how about 11.04 release parties? | 03:19 |
| _marx_ | close to my birthday every time | 03:20 |
| _marx_ | i'm not inspired to do anything other than pay my bills | 03:21 |
| _marx_ | su lost her job a month ago | 03:22 |
| holstein | drag | 03:22 |
| _marx_ | how to pay the next round of bills is much more important to me than...most anything i can think of | 03:27 |
| holstein | i hear you | 03:28 |
| holstein | its tough right now for sure | 03:28 |
| holstein | who is team lead now? | 03:28 |
| _marx_ | i believe the contact is amber | 03:29 |
| holstein | contact? | 03:30 |
| holstein | or team lead? | 03:30 |
| holstein | i dont think amber thinks she is the team lead | 03:30 |
| _marx_ | w/canonical it's the same | 03:30 |
| _marx_ | afaik | 03:31 |
| holstein | well, we should probably figure out who the team lead is | 03:31 |
| holstein | thats probably a good reason why the team/channel is dying | 03:31 |
| * holstein sent an email | 03:35 | |
| holstein | we'll figure out whos who | 03:35 |
| _marx_ | "leading" a loco has a definition somewhere | 03:35 |
| holstein | and whats what | 03:35 |
| _marx_ | where's that cat herding video? | 03:36 |
| holstein | _marx_: i was under the impression you were the leader | 03:36 |
| _marx_ | fuckina | 03:36 |
| _marx_ | i can't be, i cuss too much | 03:36 |
| holstein | hehe | 03:36 |
| _marx_ | seriously there are lots of reasons i'm not a good leader | 03:40 |
| _marx_ | besides not leading | 03:40 |
| holstein | well, thats beside the point actually | 03:40 |
| holstein | if you arent the team lead | 03:40 |
| holstein | thats fine | 03:40 |
| _marx_ | i have no contacts in any computer industry | 03:40 |
| holstein | we just need someone to do something | 03:40 |
| _marx_ | i did already two three years ago | 03:41 |
| _marx_ | well two anyway | 03:41 |
| _marx_ | i'm stil a 50, yes Fifty something carpenter grandfather... | 03:42 |
| holstein | congrats | 03:42 |
| _marx_ | not yer typical linux user or loco team leader | 03:42 |
| _marx_ | 5 grandkids | 03:43 |
| _marx_ | that ain't new | 03:43 |
| holstein | BugeyeD: i remember you saying you were an X guy right? | 03:43 |
| holstein | im having some issues with XDMX | 03:43 |
| holstein | wondering if you had any suggestions... | 03:44 |
| BugeyeD | holstein: i used to know my way around the x config, sure. don't know what xdmx is, though. | 03:44 |
| holstein | im using it to fake a 2nd monitor | 03:44 |
| holstein | with an old laptop | 03:44 |
| holstein | and its working well | 03:44 |
| holstein | but im getting some strange keyboard behavior | 03:45 |
| holstein | while the server is running | 03:45 |
| holstein | and after i disconnect | 03:45 |
| holstein | and #xorg is ice-ing me ;) | 03:45 |
| _marx_ | '02 or so i did a plug meeting on dual monitors on a P233 | 03:45 |
| holstein | i'll keep fiddling | 03:45 |
| holstein | _marx_: with XDMX ? | 03:46 |
| BugeyeD | holstein: no idea about xdmx, sorry. and i'm too tired to be helpful right now even if i'd seen it before. :( | 03:46 |
| _marx_ | a p233 w/2 monitors, no | 03:46 |
| _marx_ | holstein: didn't exist then | 03:47 |
| holstein | yeah> | 03:47 |
| holstein | ? | 03:47 |
| holstein | interesting | 03:47 |
| holstein | maybe thats why im having a hard time getting help | 03:48 |
| holstein | i thought it was old | 03:48 |
| _marx_ | i don't even recall for sure what it ran, likely mandrake | 03:48 |
| _marx_ | holstein: i can prolly do the winston ubuntu hour this month | 05:33 |
| holstein | i was just wondering if you were doing it still | 05:34 |
| holstein | and if anyone was coming/interested | 05:35 |
| holstein | im not trying to say you *should* be | 05:35 |
| holstein | anyhow | 05:35 |
| holstein | GN.. | 05:35 |
| _marx_ | well can be, money to be made | 05:41 |
| _marx_ | give up $150 when i could really use it or go meet.. | 05:44 |
| * _marx_ a 10+ year desktop linux user | 06:06 | |
| _marx_ | and that is all* | 06:06 |
| BugeyeD | _marx_: i'll be outta town saturday (leaving today, back sunday nite) | 16:00 |
| BugeyeD | i've been a few times myself, so we can prolly still mark up a couple of UH's if we wanted to. the kids love it there. they like sitting next to me, myself on my laptop and them on their olpc laptop playing games. | 16:01 |
| BugeyeD | of course, the hot chocolate and gargantuan cookies don't hurt their feelings either. | 16:02 |
| BugeyeD | i'm so oversubscribed now that i don't think i'd be a good team lead either. | 16:03 |
| BugeyeD | but if you need someone to step in so there will be someone to "blame" then i'm used to that too. :) | 16:03 |
| holstein | i wasnt trying to say _marx_ should be hosting the UH's | 16:03 |
| BugeyeD | yeah, SURE you weren't. | 16:03 |
| BugeyeD | :) | 16:03 |
| holstein | i was just trying to guage if they were still happening | 16:03 |
| holstein | what the interest level was like | 16:03 |
| BugeyeD | we still do from time to time. our last one saw someone from greensboro show up. | 16:04 |
| holstein | i was really hoping someone else in our local LUG would take that on | 16:04 |
| holstein | and either host an UH | 16:04 |
| holstein | or maybe even an ubuntu users group | 16:04 |
| holstein | seperate from the LUG | 16:04 |
| BugeyeD | i go every other week or so for a few hours and take the kids. i've had a few folks stop to talk because of the kids and the linux stickers all over their little green/white laptops. | 16:04 |
| holstein | i just cant do it | 16:04 |
| holstein | but our LUG is growing quite nicely :) | 16:04 |
| BugeyeD | we have a problem in our area. i think we have plenty of folks who "would have been" interested, but | 16:05 |
| holstein | well, thats fine though | 16:05 |
| BugeyeD | a long-standing lug in our area has given most of them a _very_ bad taste ... | 16:05 |
| holstein | and the UH's dont have everything to do with the team | 16:05 |
| holstein | i just think its a good potential recruiting tool | 16:05 |
| BugeyeD | good point | 16:05 |
| BugeyeD | on another note, nginx rocks. it's so much better than apache, at least for my current purposes. | 16:08 |
| holstein | cool | 16:08 |
| holstein | its nice to find the proper tool | 16:08 |
| BugeyeD | varnish looks nice too, and i may start using that for certain things. it has a constant-size ram cache which works very well. | 16:10 |
| BugeyeD | just wish i didn't have to deal with php ... | 16:10 |
| holstein | sql is the one that i always google about | 16:10 |
| holstein | and paste in whatever blindly | 16:10 |
| holstein | BugeyeD: i think it would be nice if one of you 'old-schoolers' took over for _marx_ | 16:12 |
| holstein | but thats just my opinion | 16:12 |
| holstein | and i totally understand being too busy | 16:12 |
| BugeyeD | the sql doesn't bother me; it's the php layer between the sql and the user that gives me nightmares. so many security holes ... | 16:12 |
| BugeyeD | who you calling old? | 16:13 |
| BugeyeD | heh | 16:13 |
| holstein | hehe | 16:13 |
| BugeyeD | i wouldn't mind, i'm used to getting blamed. | 16:13 |
| holstein | BugeyeD: give its some thought | 16:13 |
| holstein | i'll be pushing the issue as i make/have time | 16:14 |
| holstein | gotta run... BBL | 16:14 |
| BugeyeD | l8r | 16:14 |
| akgraner | hey y'all who wants to help plan an UbuCon for the Southeast Linux Fest in June? | 23:18 |
| akgraner | space is secured already! | 23:18 |
| holstein | o/ | 23:20 |
| holstein | akgraner: im actually pretty sure i cant be there already :/ | 23:20 |
| holstein | but i'll help out if i can | 23:20 |
| akgraner | thanks! I'll make a list of what all needs to be done and send it to the mailing list over the next few days | 23:23 |
| akgraner | totally forgot about the team meeting - I am neck deep in work and a book atm ...but my schedule should get back to *normal* (what ever that is) after UDS :-) | 23:25 |
| holstein | akgraner: no worries | 23:25 |
| holstein | i have a message out to the list | 23:25 |
| holstein | to determine who is the team lead | 23:25 |
| holstein | and i'll try and make some time to stoke the fire a bit ;) | 23:26 |
| holstein | :) | 23:26 |
| akgraner | oh crap - I think I am still listed as the team lead | 23:26 |
| holstein | akgraner: yeah? | 23:26 |
| akgraner | this last cycle was crazy for me... | 23:26 |
| holstein | i see you as contanct | 23:26 |
| holstein | _marx_'s said contact = team lead | 23:26 |
| akgraner | I thought that is what we decided.. | 23:26 |
| holstein | but i was asuming _marx_ was team lead | 23:27 |
| akgraner | but I honestly don't mind handing it off... | 23:27 |
| holstein | anyways, we all no how dead it is here | 23:27 |
| akgraner | yeah :-( | 23:27 |
| holstein | and im not really in a position right now to do much about it | 23:27 |
| akgraner | but the irc channel isn't the only place for activity | 23:27 |
| holstein | other than just try and brain-storm here and there | 23:27 |
| holstein | akgraner: true | 23:27 |
| holstein | i think the whole she-bang is kinda dead though :/ | 23:28 |
| akgraner | yeah - I'll be around more after uds - so maybe between now and end of may we can brain-storm some more | 23:28 |
| akgraner | and come up with a plan of attack | 23:28 |
| holstein | sure | 23:28 |
| holstein | maybe we could have a barleys meetup | 23:28 |
| akgraner | however, I don't think we are very different from most teams - sometimes participation and activity comes in cycles | 23:29 |
| akgraner | barleys would rock! | 23:29 |
| akgraner | (but more towards the end of may) :-) | 23:29 |
| holstein | yeah, im totally slammed for now too | 23:30 |
| holstein | im thinking about going for ubuntu membership | 23:30 |
| holstein | if i can find a thursday i can make the meeting for sure | 23:32 |
| akgraner | coolieo | 23:32 |
| akgraner | you can also go to one of the other membership boards if you can't make an americas board meeting | 23:32 |
| holstein | akgraner: good to know | 23:33 |
| akgraner | let me know if you need a testimonial | 23:33 |
| holstein | i want to make sure scott lavender can go | 23:33 |
| holstein | or you :) | 23:33 |
| holstein | and/or | 23:33 |
| akgraner | or more testimonials..make sure to send me the link to your wiki page once you choose a date | 23:34 |
| holstein | akgraner: will do :) | 23:34 |
| holstein | im thinking sometime this summer i'll try and make it happen | 23:34 |
| akgraner | awesome!! | 23:59 |
