[09:39] <scutum> Hello, Im interested in a reliable Linux hosting provider in Australia
[09:39] <scutum> can someone please help me
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <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 :)
[09:44] <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!
[09:45] <head_victim> scutum: here to help
[09:46] <scutum> I really appreciate it MATE!
[09:46] <head_victim> You didn't mention you wanted in it AU 
[09:47] <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
[10:00] <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
[10:08] <sagaci> head_victim, so send ubuntu global jam - translation jam to the main list?
[10:09] <head_victim> Yep
[10:09] <head_victim> Set up on the loco.u.c page?
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <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
[10:12] <sagaci> 2 or 3 hours?
[10:13] <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
[10:15] <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 
[10:17] <sagaci> announcement - link to jono's post or make a blog entry of my own?
[10:18] <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?
[10:19] <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
[10:30] <sagaci> head_victim, just mocked this up, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659839/ , suggestions...
[10:31] <head_victim> I'll probably try to remember how to hyperlink the links rather than list then but looks good
[10:32] <head_victim> Maybe include your nick or wiki page in brackets at the end so they can find you easily
[10:33] <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...
[10:35] <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
[10:36] <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.
[10:37] <sagaci> ah, new to me
[10:37] <sagaci> account created 2 years 33 weeks ago, wowser
[10:38] <sagaci> didn't think it was that long ago
[10:38] <head_victim> Hah time flies when you're having fun
[10:39] <sagaci> ah, link doesn't work
[10:39] <sagaci> http://imgur.com/geuzR
[10:41] <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
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <head_victim> sagaci: so if you go to the home page is there a link on the right hand side "create content"
[10:45] <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
[10:46] <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
[10:47] <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 :)
[10:48] <sagaci> yeah righteo
[10:48] <head_victim> As you can tell I really know what I'm doing with drupal :D
[10:49] <sagaci> i'll leave published checkbox unticked, yeah, for proof-reading/typo-hunting?
[10:49] <head_victim> Yes thanks
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <sagaci> head_victim, will that autolink l.u.c as well, or should I put it in the p.u.o.au
[10:52] <head_victim> sagaci: nah you still need to create the event in loco.u.c
[10:53] <sagaci> no, I just mean link to the l.u.c event in the post
[10:54] <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
[10:55] <sagaci> it's on loco.u.c
[10:56] <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
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <sagaci> it looks like UTC but when you register/update the event it says input local time
[10:59] <sagaci> grr
[11:00] <head_victim> I think we set it to UTC because the local time didn't want to work properly at the time
[11:01] <sagaci> so change the time?
[11:02] <head_victim> If it's in UTC you probably shoudl
[11:03] <head_victim> If you're still going at 6 I might be able to join in ;)
[11:06] <sagaci> submitted
[11:06] <sagaci> meh,anytime after 2pm, really
[11:16] <head_victim> sagaci: ok if I add links to the general translation guide and the english translation guides?
[11:17] <sagaci> yeah, go for it
[11:18] <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>
[11:20] <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 ;)
[11:25] <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.
[11:28] <head_victim> http://ubuntu.com.au/
[11:33] <sagaci> thanks
[11:34] <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
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <sagaci> -.-
[11:36] <head_victim> Hahah
[11:36] <head_victim> Hmm not sure what I've done to that link
[11:37] <sagaci> under the alternative url path I think
[11:38] <head_victim> No idea how that link got there
[11:38] <head_victim> Should be fixed
[11:40] <head_victim> #UbuntuAU is holding a Translation Jam! Announcement -  http://is.gd/IXQSaJ Details & Signup - http://is.gd/syHFKn #ugj #locoteams #ubuntu
[11:40] <head_victim> Hows that for a tweet/dent ?
[11:47] <sagaci> yeah fine
[11:47] <sagaci> Have I sent an email to the list about it
[11:48] <sagaci> nope, looks like I haven't yet
