| * slashtom would like to float an idea regarding the ubuntu hour... | 10:21 | |
| czajkowski | aloha | 10:22 |
|---|---|---|
| slashtom | hey cztab, how's the craic? | 10:22 |
| czajkowski | ntb | 10:23 |
| czajkowski | how's life with you? | 10:23 |
| slashtom | grand, we're back from our summer holidays | 10:23 |
| czajkowski | nice | 10:24 |
| slashtom | are you coming to dublin on your visit? | 10:24 |
| czajkowski | not sure tbh | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | I'm back for 10 days | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | and I think this time less running around is needed | 10:27 |
| slashtom | anyways, my idea for the ubuntu hour was that we could change the venue and time to better accommodate those who cannot or do not wish to enter a licenced premises, and where mid-week may be an issue | 10:27 |
| czajkowski | could do | 10:30 |
| czajkowski | aye | 10:30 |
| czajkowski | what ever works well tbh | 10:31 |
| slashtom | aye, enjoy. hope the weather stays good for you in lahinch | 10:31 |
| ebel | yeah | 10:31 |
| ebel | czajkowski: you back now? | 10:31 |
| czajkowski | I will say that the venue is great imo, but that's just me, maybe tweeking the day/time might help | 10:31 |
| czajkowski | ebel: nope, not till the 23rd | 10:31 |
| slashtom | i have a few problems with the venue, the food choice is very poor if you don't eat meat, and from a non-selfish point of view, we're excluded all under 18's and anyone who doesn't want to enter a licenced premises | 10:32 |
| ebel | usually not too much of a problem. | 10:32 |
| slashtom | which isn't ebel? | 10:33 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: I'll agree with you the menu choice for you isn't great | 10:33 |
| czajkowski | but we've never had an issue with under 18's | 10:33 |
| ebel | hehe, I was remarking to slashtom yesterday that many floss groups want to keep venues/events friendly to women and yet have meet ups in bars which is quite muslim hostile :P | 10:33 |
| slashtom | that's because we meet in a pub and they're not allowed | 10:33 |
| czajkowski | and it's a hotel so it's ok to have them there, where as if you were in a bar/pub it would be an isue | 10:33 |
| ebel | I mean the licenced premisis issue. | 10:34 |
| slashtom | we have had under 18s to a geeknic before | 10:34 |
| czajkowski | but again I'm not there so not my call | 10:34 |
| ebel | though 50% of the population are women, and <<<<50% are muslim | 10:34 |
| czajkowski | ebel: I know pub meet ups don't go down with women in some counteries mostly eastern and even in some usa folks I know | 10:35 |
| czajkowski | but yer call | 10:35 |
| ebel | course you wanna go down that route we'd have to think about when ramadan is on, and when lent is on, etc.... | 10:35 |
| czajkowski | what ever ye do is your choice tbh | 10:35 |
| czajkowski | aye | 10:35 |
| slashtom | aye, i thought i would float the idea in channel first | 10:35 |
| ebel | czajkowski: oh i don't really care too much about the pub issue. Just depends on how pedantic you want to be. I think there's a Life of Brian skit about that :P | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | no I agree if you feel the venue/date/time isn't suiting you should change it | 10:36 |
| slashtom | my suggestion would be to meet on a saturday lunch/afternoon in a coffee shop | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | weekends either suit some or not others. | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | at the end of the day | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | there is no best day that will get everyone | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | :) | 10:36 |
| ebel | course we don't decide on things on abelist grounds either... how wheelchair friendly are we.... etc. | 10:36 |
| slashtom | suits you well if you live/work in town | 10:36 |
| ebel | the rabbit hole never ends... | 10:36 |
| czajkowski | yup | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | if you start to rule out places due to x y z the list will never ed | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | *end | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | but as I say | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | I'm not there | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | not my call | 10:37 |
| czajkowski | :) | 10:37 |
| slashtom | i used to work out past clonee, that was a pain getting into town for 6pm - i would always be late | 10:37 |
| slashtom | i also feel that the current type of location and time is on similar ground with the ILUG PoTD | 10:38 |
| slashtom | why not be different, and expand the scope of the linux community? | 10:38 |
| czajkowski | yup | 10:38 |
| czajkowski | can do | 10:38 |
| ebel | course, do we want to exclude travellers? | 10:39 |
| ebel | I don't know any travellers, isn't that weird... | 10:39 |
| slashtom | ebel: i'm not suggesting a sunday, which would clash with the horse fair ;) | 10:40 |
| ebel | would some venues de facto exclude travellers, do they? wonder if we have a "traveller friendly venue" :P | 10:40 |
| ebel | course this isn't something that's happened yet :P | 10:40 |
| tdr112 | how about a ubuntu hour on a sat morning , 11 or some thing | 10:41 |
| * ebel comes back from his tangent to a real conversation :P | 10:41 | |
| slashtom | aye, that's the sort of thing tdr112 | 10:41 |
| ebel | yeah saturday lunch time. go to a café, get some lunch/coffee | 10:42 |
| * slashtom has memories of being one of the only geeks at school... so i think it would be good to be accessible to a larger audience | 10:43 | |
| czajkowski | just note, if people have families kids hobbies, that weekends tend not to work | 10:43 |
| czajkowski | often easier to stay out after work for 1/2 jars and chat than leave home on a saturday when kids and parties are on | 10:43 |
| czajkowski | just my 2 cent | 10:44 |
| slashtom | the current wedneday in trinity capital hotel isn't working either | 10:44 |
| ebel | would weekends work for teenagers? | 10:44 |
| czajkowski | yup fair enough. | 10:44 |
| tdr112 | lets try a few and see if they work better | 10:44 |
| ebel | easier for teenagers to go into town on a saturday afternoon than go to a pub on a school night. | 10:44 |
| ebel | suits different people | 10:44 |
| slashtom | aye, tdr112. i will send an email out to the mailing list later today on the subjet | 10:44 |
| tdr112 | we need to get the emails/blog/tweets out about the picnic | 10:47 |
| czajkowski | tdr112: if you mail me details I'll add it to mine | 10:48 |
| slashtom | have you got a location or a big penguin ready for easy location within St Stephens Green? | 10:49 |
| * slashtom emails the group... maybe it takes a non-irishman to suggest moving out of the pub :) | 15:06 | |
| czajkowski | slashtom: :) | 15:07 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: just looking at the list of our members I don't notice any large portion or even any minors on the list | 15:08 |
| czajkowski | but maybe looking at another day/time is a good idea | 15:08 |
| czajkowski | best of luck :) | 15:08 |
| czajkowski | nice to have a bit of change | 15:08 |
| ebel | Tis all just eastern europeans like your self czajkowski :P | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | hey blame WWII for my surname | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | born in UK, lived there for 12 months, and then 30 years in ireland :) | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | I'm irish | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | I have no aligance to easten europe one bit | 15:10 |
| slashtom | tell that to everyone trying to pronounce "cztab" ;) | 15:10 |
| czajkowski | although http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Czajkowski is my grandfather | 15:11 |
| slashtom | does the mailing list even store information like DoB? | 15:11 |

| royan | 'morning. | 23:41 |
| moylan | tis | 23:42 |
| royan | Looking for a hint. Trying to install using 10.10 LiveCD, but it gets OOM before reaching desktop, so I'm thinking I might add some usb swap just to get the install going; but how do you interrupt to a shell and then continue? | 23:46 |
| moylan | how much ram has the system got? | 23:47 |
| royan | can you set swap in a boot option? | 23:47 |
| royan | euw, about 256M, minus some for shared gfx | 23:47 |
| royan | if I switch to a console, I can see the oom killer in action | 23:48 |
| moylan | that is a little light alright. | 23:50 |
| moylan | only thing i can see for swap space is; http://codeidol.com/unix/ubuntu/Getting-Started/Customize-the-Ubuntu-Live-CD/ | 23:51 |
| royan | I saw that, the swap considerations there are for a machine /creating/ a CD, not for the target host. | 23:52 |
