| MarkDude | pleia2, I just posted pics from tour on Partimus FB page | 01:51 |
| MarkDude | Once I get videos set and describe the stuff- I figure it can be put out for general consumption | 01:51 |
| MarkDude | Anyone else interested in supporting us- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Partimusorg/194279050609041 | 01:54 |
| MarkDude | We need some more likes | 01:54 |
| dragon | So I introduced my friend in the US Army to Ubuntu a few days ago, and finally got his setup working about 2 days ago. He showed it to his colleagues and they loved it. By this time, his whole company - about 60 of them - is using Ubuntu. | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | congrats :) | 01:58 |
| dragon | Now they're going to push for it and try to get the entire battalion to use it. | 01:58 |
| dragon | Thanks! I think this is a big win. | 01:58 |
| dragon | The things that they particularly love is the user interface, easy of setup and use, and the music player. | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: can you send a link to discussion@lists.partimus.org? (I think a lot of our volunteers aren't on facebook, or may not know about the partimus facebook page) | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: also, is this the same place James works with? trying to get these computer recycling places in my head straight :) | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | I will do pleia2 . | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | YEs | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | ok cool | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | We can hold an equipment drive | 02:04 |
| pleia2 | I'll also nudge grantbow about getting blog.partimus.org set up | 02:04 |
| MarkDude | have ECS bring their trucks | 02:05 |
| MarkDude | we keep the machines we want | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | and make hot dogs! | 02:05 |
| MarkDude | everything else is taken away | 02:05 |
| dragon | How's it going MarkDude? | 02:05 |
| MarkDude | and we get $ | 02:05 |
| MarkDude | Great dragon | 02:05 |
| dragon | What event are we talking about? | 02:05 |
| MarkDude | Getting more machines for partimus | 02:06 |
| MarkDude | GK can help with volunteers | 02:06 |
| dragon | ah, I see. | 02:06 |
| dragon | I can help, depending on availability. | 02:06 |
| MarkDude | $500- 4000 can be raised | 02:07 |
| MarkDude | depending on event | 02:07 |
| MarkDude | We will use the same person as ACCRC does | 02:07 |
| MarkDude | I dont want to step on their toes | 02:07 |
| MarkDude | BUT, they charge for stuff the state already gives them money for | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | donations when people bring stuff is fine | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | OPTIONAL ones tho | 02:08 |
| seidos | all this no cal stuff makes me kind of wish i hella stayed in SF | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | Free Geek does that | 02:08 |
| seidos | in hindsight, i wonder if i could've spent my days at noisebridge | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | and ALMOST everyone still gives money | 02:08 |
| MarkDude | seidos, good stuff will be /is happening in Socal | 02:09 |
| seidos | MarkDude: like what? | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | Geeknic | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | once I get list back from wayward volunteer | 02:10 |
| seidos | MarkDude: :o do you know where, exactly? | 02:10 |
| MarkDude | Well a volunteer was typing up the list | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | and sorta just nutted up | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | Weird | 02:11 |
| seidos | k^2 | 02:11 |
| seidos | it wasn't me was it? | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | lol | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | no | 02:11 |
| seidos | yay! :D | 02:11 |
| MarkDude | Although both of us may have nutted up | 02:12 |
| MarkDude | just not in this case | 02:12 |
| seidos | i'm the Failure Specialist | 02:12 |
| MarkDude | “Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.” | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | Failure is finding ways that dont work | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | You ALSO know what works too | 02:13 |
| MarkDude | http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/Threads-of-Hope-Nomination-Form/ | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, ^^^ I am nominating Robert Litt for this | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | will include that to ML also | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | I don't think I know him | 02:17 |
| MarkDude | The bad-ass teacher | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | oh right | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | he's awesome | 02:24 |
| * MarkDude wants to start profiling volunteers | 02:24 | |
| MarkDude | figured he is a good plce to start | 02:24 |
| * MarkDude has to leave SJ now | 02:25 | |
| seidos | go with the Dhamma Eye MarkDude | 02:27 |
| MarkDude | Namaste seidos | 02:31 |
| * MarkDude bows | 02:31 | |
| nhaines | Err, Edison didn't invent the light bulb? | 03:51 |
| MarkDude | nhaines, as usual you are correct | 03:51 |
| MarkDude | that quote may not even be his | 03:51 |
| MarkDude | He DID tho take other ideas people had- and figure out how to promote it better | 03:52 |
| MarkDude | Like his DC vs Tesla and AC | 03:52 |
| MarkDude | He used AC to kill an elephant | 03:52 |
| MarkDude | PR wise | 03:52 |
| MarkDude | AC still won- | 03:52 |
| seidos | wait, wat? that's news. | 04:03 |
| seidos | maybe edison was psycho | 04:04 |
| seidos | ah, well, he improved upon an existing invention so that it would become practical | 04:05 |
| sn9 | edison invented not-invented-here syndrome | 04:06 |
| sn9 | they might be worshiping him for that at intel | 04:07 |
| seidos | sad | 04:07 |
| MarkDude | Ummm | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | he had like 1000+ patents | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | master marketer | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | took ideas that would have died | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | or were not promoted right | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | and made them sumthin | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | minus he was underhanded | 04:08 |
| MarkDude | still quite a bit can be learned from him | 04:09 |
| MarkDude | both how to | 04:09 |
| MarkDude | and how not to | 04:09 |
| MarkDude | there is your Zen | 04:09 |
| * MarkDude has to eat now | 04:09 | |
| seidos | i know that he went to a library and studied his assets off | 04:09 |
| seidos | bom apetite MarkDude | 04:09 |
| sn9 | bom? is that portuguese? | 04:12 |
| nhaines | sn9: yes. | 04:19 |
| The_Letter_M | Hello | 08:08 |
| sn9 | hi | 08:20 |
| pleia2 | hey, can I get some people to go to ubuntu-news.org and tell me the top post they see? | 18:45 |
| jamalta | pleia2: open week | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | thanks | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | it's very broken :( | 18:46 |
| sn9 | Ubuntu Open Week: May 2-6 2011 | 18:46 |
| jamalta | oh :( | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | there have been probably a dozen posts since then | 18:46 |
| akk | open week here too | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | they aren't showing up, some overaggressive caching or something | 18:46 |
| jamalta | pleia2: maybe you can tell the cache plugin to clear | 18:48 |
| pleia2 | yeah, looking for a more permanent solution than manual cache clearing all the time | 18:48 |
| jamalta | pleia2: I'm not too familiar with caching plugins for Wordpress, sorry. | 18:49 |
| jamalta | I think this is the only one I've ever used: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/ | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | I'm pretty sure canonical puts another caching server in front of wp too, so we just need to figure out where the problem is exactly | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | anyway, thanks all :) | 18:50 |
| jamalta | Whatever they're using doesn't spew details out like W3 does :\ | 18:50 |
| akk | Can you try it with lynx or something on the machine where it's running? That would eliminate the canonical cache issue. | 18:51 |
| akk | (eliminate or implicate) | 18:51 |
| jamalta | akk: lynx would probably hit the cache too | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | only canonical folks have access to their servers anyway | 18:51 |
| akk | It would hit a local cache, but not anything outside the machine. | 18:52 |
| akk | But without access to the server that's moot. | 18:52 |
| jamalta | akk: the problem is view caching being done by the wordpress plugin | 18:59 |
| jamalta | so it would be the same, unless the cache gets cleared | 18:59 |
| jamalta | which the plugin doesn't seem to be doing correctly | 19:00 |
| * pleia2 submits ticket to canonical | 19:00 | |
