| rww | fyi: "now for [Launchpad] open teams (and only open teams) when someone joins or leaves the team, the team admins will not be notified." | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | heh, so much for feedback on the list | 00:39 |
| pleia2 | annoying that they went ahead and did it in spite of the "please don't, we like these, at least give us the option!" and are deferring that option to "in the future" | 00:40 |
| rww | ah, I didn't know loco-contacts had already been poked about this. I guess the relevant people here already know then :) | 00:42 |
| pleia2 | I am in a bad mood, so I should probably wait until later to follow-up on the thread | 00:43 |
| bzbeeman | Brand new to Ubuntu and want to learn more so I can use Ushahidi without my son's help. | 04:47 |
| pleia2 | welcome bzbeeman | 04:49 |
| * pleia2 has never heard of Ushahidi | 04:50 | |
| bzbeeman | Thank you, I would like a starting point. | 04:50 |
| pleia2 | do you know which version of ubuntu you're running? | 04:51 |
| pleia2 | https://help.ubuntu.com/ is a nice place to start for generic learning about the system, that's where the official docs are | 04:52 |
| bzbeeman | Right now I don't have it installed on my computer | 04:52 |
| pleia2 | oh ok :) | 04:52 |
| bzbeeman | I'm one who just jumps in before he learns to swim. | 04:53 |
| pleia2 | not a bad way to learn! | 04:53 |
| pleia2 | well if you have any specific questions we'd be happy to help out | 04:54 |
| bzbeeman | I will try to read the help section first. Thank you | 04:55 |
| bzbeeman | One question which version should I start with? | 04:56 |
| pleia2 | well, you have two major options | 04:56 |
| pleia2 | the long term support version 10.04 which came out last year and will be supported for 3 years, or 11.04 which came out a couple months ago and is supported for 18 months | 04:57 |
| bzbeeman | How much of a difference? | 04:59 |
| pleia2 | the major difference is that 11.04 has newer software and uses the new Ubuntu interface called "Unity" | 04:59 |
| bzbeeman | Since I have never used any before, would it be better to learn the newest? | 05:00 |
| pleia2 | probably | 05:00 |
| bzbeeman | Then 1\\\\ | 05:01 |
| bzbeeman | Got to rethink that, I believe Ushahidi mentioned 10 | 05:02 |
| bzbeeman | Now I have to go back and do more reading. | 05:03 |
| bzbeeman | Thank you | 05:03 |
| pleia2 | you're welcome | 05:04 |
| akk | ushahidi's website doesn't seem to be very picky about versions -- probably it will work on either ubuntu version. | 05:06 |
| bzbeeman | That helps. | 05:07 |
| akk | At least I'm not finding anything that looks picky that way. | 05:07 |
| akk | I haven't installed it myself (I know a little about the project, but alas not about their installable tools). | 05:08 |
| bzbeeman | I would like to just turn the key and start learning how to drive not spend time reading the manual. I suspect that I will have to make sense of the manual. | 05:13 |
| bzbeeman | Well I will download 11 and see what happens. | 05:16 |
| bzbeeman | Thank you | 05:17 |
| pleia2 | have fun :) | 05:19 |
| akk | Good luck! Feel free to hang around here and ask questions. | 05:19 |
| grantbow | anyone had trouble getting their microphone working before? | 06:19 |
| jyo | Web designers who don't know how to use ssh should be shot. | 18:45 |
| philipballew | its pretty easy once you set it up, and setting it up is easy | 18:46 |
