[13:38] <h00k> greetings
[13:45] <EgyParadox> hi
[13:46] <h00k> EgyParadox: hello. I don't remember meeting you. Where-about in the state are you from?
[13:46] <EgyParadox> I am from Egypt
[13:47] <EgyParadox> not from US
[13:47] <EgyParadox> but I noticed that the WI team is active
[13:47] <EgyParadox> and I used to live there
[13:48] <h00k> EgyParadox: ah, welcome
[13:48] <h00k> We are somewhat active
[13:49] <h00k> we try, anyway
[13:49] <EgyParadox> yeah I noticed there are many events
[13:50] <EgyParadox> The Egyptian became somehow active only recently
[13:51] <h00k> EgyParadox: Yeah, we have some Ubuntu hours going on, we are going to try the Global Jam, too
[13:53] <EgyParadox> nice
[13:54] <EgyParadox> We just had our ubuntu our
[13:54] <EgyParadox> hour*
[13:54] <EgyParadox> it was fun, we haven't had the global jam yet
[13:58] <EgyParadox> What about the number of people attending the events?
[13:59] <h00k> EgyParadox: usually, for the Ubuntu Hour, it is around 3-4, from what it sounds like
[14:00] <EgyParadox> what about release parties?
[14:00] <EgyParadox>  /install fests
[14:06] <h00k> We had one...what, 2 years ago now, and another 6 months after, but not for the last 2 releases
[14:06] <EgyParadox> I mean the numberof people attending
[14:07] <h00k> http://anthonyrhook.com/blog/2009/11/08/release-party-success/
[14:07] <h00k> we had 16 on the first one
[14:07] <h00k> I don't remember how many at the one in Madison
[14:08] <h00k> maybe... 12? 14?
[14:08] <EgyParadox> I am surprised
[14:09] <h00k> :)
[14:09] <h00k> Now that my wedding is over, maybe I'll throw something down for Oneric
[14:10] <EgyParadox> I think 100+ attended our first release party
[14:10] <EgyParadox> :)
[14:10] <EgyParadox> Congratulations
[14:10] <h00k> Thanks
[14:10] <h00k> EgyParadox: that's awesome
[14:10] <EgyParadox> yeah
[14:10] <EgyParadox> it was a nice start
[14:11] <EgyParadox> *install fest
[14:12] <EgyParadox> first install fest*
[14:12] <EgyParadox> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Events/2010-05-08-LucidReleaseParty
[14:13] <h00k> It'd be fun to get shirts, or tell people that are attending to get some sort of Ubuntu swag to wear it
[14:16] <EgyParadox> Yeah
[14:16] <EgyParadox> We put some artwork for the designs so anybody could print
[14:17] <EgyParadox> This is our first release party

[14:18] <EgyParadox> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Artwork
[14:24] <h00k> I think we talkeda bout borrowing a wiki header like yours
[14:24] <h00k> :( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WisconsinTeam
[14:25] <EgyParadox> We did talk?
[14:26] <h00k> We did talk about a nice wiki header like yours, I have to check my logs
[14:26] <EgyParadox> I can't remember
[14:26] <EgyParadox> was it thelinuxer?
[14:27] <h00k> Oh, no, I mean the LoCo talked about it
[14:27] <h00k> not you/I
[14:27] <EgyParadox> oh ok
[14:27] <EgyParadox> I thought in the US more people would attend events
[14:27] <h00k> It's hard with Wisconsin being spread out
[14:28] <EgyParadox> Why?
[14:29] <h00k> We seem to have some people interested in the Madison/Milwaukee area, but the further north you get, it's more spread-out
[14:32] <EgyParadox> I thought its the other way aroujd
[14:32] <EgyParadox> around*
[14:36] <EgyParadox> ?
[14:36] <h00k> EgyParadox: as in...?
[14:36] <h00k> I just sent an email out, a call for artwork
[14:38] <EgyParadox> I thought it would be more spread in Madison/MIlwaukee
[14:38] <h00k> EgyParadox: there is more of a concentration down there
[14:38] <h00k> As in, more people
[14:38] <EgyParadox> oh ok
[14:41] <h00k> EgyParadox: you have a magazine cover for artwork?!
[14:41] <h00k> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-wi/2011-August/000376.html
[14:41] <h00k> er
[14:42] <h00k> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Artwork?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Prototype.jpg
[14:43] <EgyParadox> There were plans for a magazine
[14:43] <EgyParadox> but I dont know what happened really
[14:43] <EgyParadox> I think there is
[14:43] <EgyParadox> I am not responsible for art work
[14:46] <h00k> Cool, though.
[16:08] <EgyParadox> What about other states?
[16:08] <h00k> EgyParadox: what about them?
[16:08] <mikeputnam> h00k: Μπορώ να φάω σπασμένα γυαλιά χωρίς να πάθω τίποτα.
[16:09] <mikeputnam> something UTF8 in Greek ^^^
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: what
[16:09] <mikeputnam> did it work?
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: yes, I could see that ;)
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: Yeah, I fixed it
[16:09] <h00k> ■▎⡈❩
[16:09] <h00k> .screenrc doesn't always do UTF8, even if you tell it to
[16:09] <mikeputnam> screen!?
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: YES!
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: irssi
[16:09] <mikeputnam> tsk-tsk
[16:09] <h00k> mikeputnam: what's wrong with that?
[16:10] <mikeputnam> http://tmux.sourceforge.net/
[16:10] <EgyParadox> Are they active like the WI team?
[16:10] <mikeputnam> much more excellenter
[16:10] <h00k> EgyParadox: some probably are, I'm not sure
[16:20] <h00k> mikeputnam: I have used terminator in the past
[16:20] <h00k> mikeputnam: I just run screen on my VPS where my irssi runs
[16:20] <h00k> mikeputnam: locally, I've been playing with byobu lately
[16:22] <mikeputnam> h00k: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/06/anyone-interested-in-byobu-profiles-for.html
[16:22] <h00k> mikeputnam: cool
[16:23] <mikeputnam> h00k: i highly recommend tmux over screen
[16:23] <h00k> apparently ;)
[16:23] <mikeputnam> i also op #tmux
[16:23] <mikeputnam> and wrote the web page
[16:23]  * mikeputnam <= fanbois
[16:32] <h00k> nice
[20:43] <mikeputnam> big solar flare today http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080/IswaSystemWebApp/iSWACygnetStreamer?timestamp=2038-01-23+00%3A44%3A00&window=-1&cygnetId=261
