| scutum | Hello, Im interested in a reliable Linux hosting provider in Australia | 09:39 |
|---|---|---|
| scutum | can someone please help me | 09:39 |
| scutum | I know this is a bit off topic here but Im in need of good australian hosting | 09:40 |
| head_victim | scutum: ah ok there are plenty around but none I've personally used | 09:40 |
| scutum | head_victim, have you heard of a satisfied customer? | 09:41 |
| head_victim | Most people I know use linode but they aren't in Australia | 09:41 |
| head_victim | If no one else here can help out I'd suggest asking on the mailing list | 09:42 |
| head_victim | There's several hundred people on it so you'll reach a wider audience than the 20 or so here :) | 09:42 |
| scutum | great advise!! | 09:44 |
| scutum | ~advice | 09:44 |
| scutum | I can do that by emailin it to ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com | 09:44 |
| scutum | right? | 09:44 |
| sagaci | yup | 09:44 |
| scutum | thank you so much! | 09:44 |
| head_victim | scutum: here to help | 09:45 |
| scutum | I really appreciate it MATE! | 09:46 |
| head_victim | You didn't mention you wanted in it AU | 09:46 |
| sagaci | kinda did | 09:47 |
| head_victim | sagaci: I meant in the email to the list | 09:47 |
| * head_victim went to moderate it to the list | 09:47 | |
| sagaci | ah, makes sense | 09:47 |
| sagaci | didn't mention it was on the list :P | 09:47 |
| head_victim | scutum: did you want me to pass that one to the list or did you want to rewrite to say you wanted it in Australia? | 10:00 |
| scutum | yes please | 10:00 |
| sagaci | head_victim, so send ubuntu global jam - translation jam to the main list? | 10:08 |
| head_victim | Yep | 10:09 |
| head_victim | Set up on the loco.u.c page? | 10:09 |
| head_victim | I just sent out a UbuntuAU tweet/dent from Jono on organising UGJ so nice timing | 10:10 |
| sagaci | yeah, should I just say 3pm saturday arvie or ask for a time that suits the most people? | 10:10 |
| head_victim | http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/08/05/kick-out-the-jam/ | 10:10 |
| head_victim | That's for details on what to set up where nad how to link it | 10:10 |
| head_victim | As far as when, if you're running it pick the time most suitable for you, if there is a few different ideas that work equally well for you feel free to create a doodle poll but make sure you set an end date of about a week from when you start it so it doesn't drag on and on | 10:11 |
| sagaci | 2 or 3 hours? | 10:12 |
| head_victim | Depends on what you want to do with it. The one I ran I basically said "I'll be available in the channel with information on how to get going from x to y" and people just came in as they wanted and I helped them get set up | 10:13 |
| head_victim | If you want to run a specific program you could probably do it in less time | 10:13 |
| sagaci | meh, I'll just make it saturday afternoon from 2-4pm, so it's not too later for westerners and not too early for easterners | 10:15 |
| head_victim | Sounds good | 10:15 |
| sagaci | announcement - link to jono's post or make a blog entry of my own? | 10:17 |
| head_victim | Blog to ubuntu.com.au if you like | 10:18 |
| head_victim | If you log in you can post to it and I can submit it | 10:18 |
| head_victim | Nothing stopping anyone writing posts to the main page there, just needs approval from the admins | 10:18 |
| sagaci | righteo | 10:18 |
| sagaci | do you get spam? | 10:18 |
| head_victim | Not a lot of people posting information spamming, more just as a double check for spelling/content | 10:19 |
| sagaci | kk | 10:19 |
| head_victim | Let me know when it's done, we don't get auto notified of new content | 10:19 |
| sagaci | head_victim, just mocked this up, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659839/ , suggestions... | 10:30 |
| head_victim | I'll probably try to remember how to hyperlink the links rather than list then but looks good | 10:31 |
| head_victim | Maybe include your nick or wiki page in brackets at the end so they can find you easily | 10:32 |
| sagaci | oh yeah righteo, do you want to fix that up? hyperlinks can't be done by me and if you want to copy+paste (sagaci) to the end... | 10:33 |
| head_victim | If you just go to http://ubuntu.com.au/node/add and submit either an event or story | 10:35 |
| sagaci | ah right | 10:35 |
| head_victim | So yeah, anyone with an account on the website (which is open to everyone) can create content, it just needs to be moderated by an admin to hit the website. | 10:36 |
| sagaci | ah, new to me | 10:37 |
| sagaci | account created 2 years 33 weeks ago, wowser | 10:37 |
| sagaci | didn't think it was that long ago | 10:38 |
| head_victim | Hah time flies when you're having fun | 10:38 |
| sagaci | ah, link doesn't work | 10:39 |
| sagaci | http://imgur.com/geuzR | 10:39 |
| head_victim | Oh WOW, there are a LOT of spammers sign up to that site | 10:41 |
| head_victim | Be happy when Canonical get time to upgrade it so we can hook in open id to it | 10:41 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: is there anything special to do to an account to let them submit content for approval? | 10:43 |
| head_victim | or elky or any other website admins | 10:43 |
| head_victim | sagaci: so if you go to the home page is there a link on the right hand side "create content" | 10:44 |
| sagaci | nope | 10:45 |
| head_victim | sagaci: try now, I just gave you "page creator" access | 10:45 |
| sagaci | now it does, along with a lot of other stuff | 10:45 |
| sagaci | thanks | 10:45 |
| head_victim | I'll leave it there for now, if I'm told that's the really wrong thing to do and there is a better way I might revise it but I"ll let you know if it's going to change | 10:46 |
| head_victim | Looking at what others have done that seems to be the correct way to do it though so fingers crossed I got something right :) | 10:47 |
| sagaci | yeah righteo | 10:48 |
| head_victim | As you can tell I really know what I'm doing with drupal :D | 10:48 |
| sagaci | i'll leave published checkbox unticked, yeah, for proof-reading/typo-hunting? | 10:49 |
| head_victim | Yes thanks | 10:49 |
| sagaci | do you mind if I copy the announcement to my blog and link to it? | 10:50 |
| head_victim | Not at all, I was going to tweet/dent it as well if you don't mind | 10:50 |
| head_victim | Hit it on all fronts get as many people there as possible. Feel free to link on the forum as well | 10:50 |
| sagaci | head_victim, will that autolink l.u.c as well, or should I put it in the p.u.o.au | 10:51 |
| head_victim | sagaci: nah you still need to create the event in loco.u.c | 10:52 |
| sagaci | no, I just mean link to the l.u.c event in the post | 10:53 |
| head_victim | Oh yeah that would be good, that is where we're menat to organise it all from | 10:54 |
| head_victim | I'll be so glad when they get all the requirements for locos on the loco.u.c page | 10:54 |
| sagaci | it's on loco.u.c | 10:55 |
| head_victim | Nice job, I think that's a day I'm working but that can't really be helped, I think I'm working most of that weekend unfortunately | 10:56 |
| sagaci | that's fine | 10:58 |
| head_victim | And I think the loco.u.c site is still on UTC time | 10:58 |
| head_victim | I could be wrong though | 10:58 |
| sagaci | it looks like UTC but when you register/update the event it says input local time | 10:59 |
| sagaci | grr | 10:59 |
| head_victim | I think we set it to UTC because the local time didn't want to work properly at the time | 11:00 |
| sagaci | so change the time? | 11:01 |
| head_victim | If it's in UTC you probably shoudl | 11:02 |
| head_victim | If you're still going at 6 I might be able to join in ;) | 11:03 |
| sagaci | submitted | 11:06 |
| sagaci | meh,anytime after 2pm, really | 11:06 |

| head_victim | sagaci: ok if I add links to the general translation guide and the english translation guides? | 11:16 |
| sagaci | yeah, go for it | 11:17 |
| sagaci | just didn't know how to link with that text, without using full html | 11:18 |
| head_victim | I'm just going to use an example from the previous post that looks like - <a href="http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au/events">Ubuntu-AU loco.u.c events page</a> | 11:18 |
| sagaci | righteo then | 11:20 |
| head_victim | I never really know exactly what it's all called or doing but I have a knack for copying everyone else's work ;) | 11:20 |
| sagaci | Mr. Copyleft man | 11:25 |
| head_victim | I'm going to link the loco event as well if that's ok? | 11:25 |
| head_victim | As a part of the first sentence. | 11:25 |
| head_victim | http://ubuntu.com.au/ | 11:28 |
| sagaci | thanks | 11:33 |
| head_victim | sagaci: nah mate thank you for organising and wriiting it. Do you have an identica and/or twitter account? | 11:34 |
| sagaci | link is broken | 11:34 |
| sagaci | like the main en-AU link | 11:34 |
| head_victim | The first line?> | 11:34 |
| sagaci | yeppers | 11:34 |
| sagaci | twitter but I don't use it | 11:35 |
| sagaci | and it's the kind of thing I don't really want to start using | 11:35 |
| head_victim | Yeah I know how you feel. I'm doing the UAU posts for now, that's social media enough for me | 11:35 |
| sagaci | omg! i can't believe how much I like honey and peanutbutter on #bread | 11:35 |
| sagaci | -.- | 11:36 |
| head_victim | Hahah | 11:36 |
| head_victim | Hmm not sure what I've done to that link | 11:36 |
| sagaci | under the alternative url path I think | 11:37 |
| head_victim | No idea how that link got there | 11:38 |
| head_victim | Should be fixed | 11:38 |
| head_victim | #UbuntuAU is holding a Translation Jam! Announcement - http://is.gd/IXQSaJ Details & Signup - http://is.gd/syHFKn #ugj #locoteams #ubuntu | 11:40 |
