[17:20] <BluesKaj>  heh , bell internet was down here for 8 hrs . now my IP says NA , located on the 60th parallel on Hudson Bay :) .. http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address=&map_source=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7
[17:20] <cvillaco_> I saw the community week events post by a Ubuntu group on fB and thought i would check out whats going on.
[17:21] <dscassel> cvillaco_: Welcome back. :D
[17:21] <BluesKaj> cvillaco_, Ubuntu group on fB ?
[17:22] <cvillaco_> yes, i think this page is cool
[17:22] <cvillaco_> http://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux
[17:23] <cvillaco_> it's pretty active and users can post
[17:23] <cvillaco_> i never have, but i read stuff im interested in if it comes up in my feeds
[17:25] <dscassel> There's an Ubuntu Canada group on Facebook, but it's been kind of dead since 2007... ^^;
[17:25] <dscassel> But if someone wanted to take it up again... :)
[17:35] <willwh> bleh
[17:36] <willwh> google+ is like facebook for geeks, apparently.
[17:36] <willwh> if anyone needs an invite - hit me up - happy to fire you one
[17:36] <willwh> I'm following Linus Torvalds on there
[17:36] <dscassel> willwh: No equivalent for groups or pages yet, tho.
[17:36] <willwh> linux kernal 3.0 got pushed last night :]
[17:36] <cvillaco> hey dscassel, im outside enjoying the weather and my wireless connection was lost
[17:36] <willwh> dscassel: it'll come
[17:36] <willwh> :>
[17:37] <dscassel> willwh: Definitely.
[17:37] <willwh> haha - zuckerberg is evil and must be resisted
[17:37] <dscassel> I'm on it, but I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with it yet.
[17:37] <willwh> or rather, what he created ;]
[17:37] <dscassel> I'm pretty firmly ensconsed in Twitter land.  There's stuff about G+ I really like, though.
[17:38] <dscassel> But it's effort to post everyting in two (or more) places.
[17:39] <cvillaco> gwibber :p
[17:39] <dscassel> cvillaco: Doesn't support G+ yet. :)
[17:40] <cvillaco> haha,  i kid, and i know what you mean
[17:40] <willwh> http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2011/jul/20/leopard-attacks-villagers-india#/?picture=377083509&index=0
[17:40] <willwh> omg^
[17:40] <willwh> guy with white gloves in the right corner of the first shoot = LOOOOOSER
[17:40] <willwh> make me think of Jurassic Park.... "SHOOOT HER, SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT HER"
[17:41] <willwh> dscassel: np, http://www.startgoogleplus.com/
[17:41] <willwh> awesome plugin, if you're a chrome user :]
[17:41] <willwh> it'll thread your twitter and fb is you want.
[17:45] <cvillaco> lol, crazy.  How about tiger gouges OSX users with new $29.99 update charge :p?
[17:45] <cvillaco> it is a pretty rich update to be fair..
[17:45] <willwh> whatever, not interested in apple products
[17:46] <willwh> jobsy is a huge success - but I won't touch his kit with a barge pole :]
[17:46] <cvillaco> yeah, linux is way cool.
[17:49] <cvillaco> i have no reason to use apple products myself.  It is such a constraining system is not my type.
[17:51] <cvillaco> willwh where abouts are you?
[17:52] <willwh> beautiful Victoria, BC :)
[17:52] <willwh> I'm fae Edinburgh, Scotland though
[17:52] <willwh> not a native ;)
[17:52] <willwh> johanbr: ! :D
[17:52] <johanbr> hey there!
[17:52] <cvillaco> ohh i hear Edinburgh is a famous place in Scotland isnt it?
[17:52]  * dscassel is distracted by work.
[17:52] <willwh> cvillaco: it's the capital :)
[17:52] <dscassel> cvillaco: Used to be worse. OSX upgrades used to be more frequent and $129.
[17:53]  * dscassel got off that turnip truck.
[17:53]  * genii-around makes some coffee
[17:54] <cvillaco> i understand, but this is just an update, not an upgrade i think.
[17:55] <dscassel> cvillaco: I only did the upgrade once. Jaguar, I think? 10.4, anyway.  It wasn't much at it was $129.
[17:55] <dscassel> Then Apple decided it didn't really care about computers anymore and I decided to go 100% ubuntu. :)
[17:56] <cvillaco> yeah, i mean i think the windows os upgrades are the same price.  but i'm off that as much as I can be.  I'm almost 100% ubuntu
[17:57] <cvillaco> i agree apple doesnt care about computing much anymore.  They are foucsed on advertising alot i think, and outsourcing
[17:58] <cvillaco> which is not an unheard of strategy or anything.
[17:59] <dscassel> They seem to be doing well enough...
[18:00] <cvillaco> yeah,
[18:00] <cvillaco> im glad android came into the mobile picture though, claiming most of the smartphone market and putting steve jobs in a publicly foul mood
[18:02] <genii-around> I wonder if anyone is still working on MeeGo
[18:02] <cvillaco> trying to patent touch gestures on mobile devices after android handset releases raised eyebrows i think.
[18:03] <dscassel> genii-around: Nokia isn't. I think Intel might be, tho.  They're still working on clutter, at least.
[18:03] <dscassel> cvillaco: I think that stuff is mostly business as usual.
[18:11] <cvillaco> yeah, dog eat dog
[18:12] <cvillaco> hey dscassel what is required to be a loCo canada team member?
[18:14] <cvillaco> like, are there responsibilities beyond just being a fan, supporting the idea of a local team, following policey and meeting other fans?
[18:16] <cvillaco> i think ubuntu is great, and wouldnt mind just metaphorically carrying an ubuntu sign.  i live pretty far from the major centers
[18:19] <willwh> cvillaco: I just cover my laptop in ubuntu / drupal stickers :P
[18:19] <willwh> and sit and hack in cafe's ;D
[18:20] <cvillaco> haha cool
[18:20] <cvillaco> i hear drupal is great
[18:20] <cvillaco> are you apart of the local team then willwh?
[18:20] <dscassel> cvillaco: Officially, you need to sign the code of conduct.  Joining the Ubuntu Canada group on launchpad is a plus as well.
[18:21] <dscassel> cvillaco: In practice, just hanging out here or on the mailing list is probably sufficient. :)
[18:22] <willwh> cvillaco: I am, yes
[18:22] <dscassel> And, of course, running events elevates you to a position of power and authority. (for what it's worth) :D
[18:22] <willwh> and I go to the Victoria Drupal users meetup monthly too
[18:22] <willwh> although there really isn't an active ubuntu chapter in Victoria
[18:23] <dscassel> willwh: I keep talking to people in Victoria.
[18:23] <dscassel> You guys need to get together. :)
[18:23] <dscassel> (I'm pretty sure it's not just you, either)
[18:27] <cvillaco> :willwh I hear Drupal is great.  Later this summer im going to be reading through the wordpress documentation.  I hear drupal is the big open source cms.
[18:29] <cvillaco> ok dscassel.  I will follow the wiki instructions to apply.
[18:32] <willwh> http://www.jolokia.org/ <- wunnerful
[18:34] <cvillaco> whats this jolokia?
[18:37] <willwh>  well, it's JMX with JSON over http.......
[18:37] <willwh> u
[18:37] <willwh> uh*
[18:37] <willwh> java "Stuff" :)
[18:37]  * genii-around stuffs some java
[18:37] <willwh> genii-around: :D
[18:37] <willwh> how goes mate?
[18:38] <genii-around> willwh: Not bad, first day back from vacation
[18:38]  * genii-around slides BluesKaj a coffee
[18:38] <BluesKaj> hey genii-around , thanks :)
[18:39] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Anytime of course!
[20:33] <cvillaco> dscassel thanks for the support and information on the Canada loCo team.  Can send you a PM?  I think I need some clarification.
[20:34] <cvillaco> or is anyone available atm to give me a hand?
[20:37] <MagicFab> cvillaco, what can we help you with ?
[20:51] <cvillaco> Hi MagicFab I had some questions on signing the Code of Conduct

[21:13] <dscassel> cvillaco: Send away!
[21:19] <willwh> dscassel: I take it that the ubuntu ca loco drupal install is totally seperate?
[21:19] <willwh> i.e. I'll need to create a user account?
