[09:39] Hello, Im interested in a reliable Linux hosting provider in Australia [09:39] can someone please help me [09:40] I know this is a bit off topic here but Im in need of good australian hosting [09:40] scutum: ah ok there are plenty around but none I've personally used [09:41] head_victim, have you heard of a satisfied customer? [09:41] Most people I know use linode but they aren't in Australia [09:42] If no one else here can help out I'd suggest asking on the mailing list [09:42] There's several hundred people on it so you'll reach a wider audience than the 20 or so here :) [09:44] great advise!! [09:44] ~advice [09:44] I can do that by emailin it to ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com [09:44] right? [09:44] yup [09:44] thank you so much! [09:45] scutum: here to help [09:46] I really appreciate it MATE! [09:46] You didn't mention you wanted in it AU [09:47] kinda did [09:47] sagaci: I meant in the email to the list [09:47] * head_victim went to moderate it to the list [09:47] ah, makes sense [09:47] didn't mention it was on the list :P [10:00] 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] yes please [10:08] head_victim, so send ubuntu global jam - translation jam to the main list? [10:09] Yep [10:09] Set up on the loco.u.c page? [10:10] I just sent out a UbuntuAU tweet/dent from Jono on organising UGJ so nice timing [10:10] yeah, should I just say 3pm saturday arvie or ask for a time that suits the most people? [10:10] http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/08/05/kick-out-the-jam/ [10:10] That's for details on what to set up where nad how to link it [10:11] 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] 2 or 3 hours? [10:13] 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] If you want to run a specific program you could probably do it in less time [10:15] 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] Sounds good [10:17] announcement - link to jono's post or make a blog entry of my own? [10:18] Blog to ubuntu.com.au if you like [10:18] If you log in you can post to it and I can submit it [10:18] Nothing stopping anyone writing posts to the main page there, just needs approval from the admins [10:18] righteo [10:18] do you get spam? [10:19] Not a lot of people posting information spamming, more just as a double check for spelling/content [10:19] kk [10:19] Let me know when it's done, we don't get auto notified of new content [10:30] head_victim, just mocked this up, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659839/ , suggestions... [10:31] I'll probably try to remember how to hyperlink the links rather than list then but looks good [10:32] Maybe include your nick or wiki page in brackets at the end so they can find you easily [10:33] 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] If you just go to http://ubuntu.com.au/node/add and submit either an event or story [10:35] ah right [10:36] 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] ah, new to me [10:37] account created 2 years 33 weeks ago, wowser [10:38] didn't think it was that long ago [10:38] Hah time flies when you're having fun [10:39] ah, link doesn't work [10:39] http://imgur.com/geuzR [10:41] Oh WOW, there are a LOT of spammers sign up to that site [10:41] Be happy when Canonical get time to upgrade it so we can hook in open id to it [10:43] blahdeblah: is there anything special to do to an account to let them submit content for approval? [10:43] or elky or any other website admins [10:44] sagaci: so if you go to the home page is there a link on the right hand side "create content" [10:45] nope [10:45] sagaci: try now, I just gave you "page creator" access [10:45] now it does, along with a lot of other stuff [10:45] thanks [10:46] 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] 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] yeah righteo [10:48] As you can tell I really know what I'm doing with drupal :D [10:49] i'll leave published checkbox unticked, yeah, for proof-reading/typo-hunting? [10:49] Yes thanks [10:50] do you mind if I copy the announcement to my blog and link to it? [10:50] Not at all, I was going to tweet/dent it as well if you don't mind [10:50] Hit it on all fronts get as many people there as possible. Feel free to link on the forum as well [10:51] head_victim, will that autolink l.u.c as well, or should I put it in the p.u.o.au [10:52] sagaci: nah you still need to create the event in loco.u.c [10:53] no, I just mean link to the l.u.c event in the post [10:54] Oh yeah that would be good, that is where we're menat to organise it all from [10:54] I'll be so glad when they get all the requirements for locos on the loco.u.c page [10:55] it's on loco.u.c [10:56] 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] that's fine [10:58] And I think the loco.u.c site is still on UTC time [10:58] I could be wrong though [10:59] it looks like UTC but when you register/update the event it says input local time [10:59] grr [11:00] I think we set it to UTC because the local time didn't want to work properly at the time [11:01] so change the time? [11:02] If it's in UTC you probably shoudl [11:03] If you're still going at 6 I might be able to join in ;) [11:06] submitted [11:06] meh,anytime after 2pm, really === ejat- is now known as ejat [11:16] sagaci: ok if I add links to the general translation guide and the english translation guides? [11:17] yeah, go for it [11:18] just didn't know how to link with that text, without using full html [11:18] I'm just going to use an example from the previous post that looks like - Ubuntu-AU loco.u.c events page [11:20] righteo then [11:20] 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] Mr. Copyleft man [11:25] I'm going to link the loco event as well if that's ok? [11:25] As a part of the first sentence. [11:28] http://ubuntu.com.au/ [11:33] thanks [11:34] sagaci: nah mate thank you for organising and wriiting it. Do you have an identica and/or twitter account? [11:34] link is broken [11:34] like the main en-AU link [11:34] The first line?> [11:34] yeppers [11:35] twitter but I don't use it [11:35] and it's the kind of thing I don't really want to start using [11:35] Yeah I know how you feel. I'm doing the UAU posts for now, that's social media enough for me [11:35] omg! i can't believe how much I like honey and peanutbutter on #bread [11:36] -.- [11:36] Hahah [11:36] Hmm not sure what I've done to that link [11:37] under the alternative url path I think [11:38] No idea how that link got there [11:38] Should be fixed [11:40] #UbuntuAU is holding a Translation Jam! Announcement - http://is.gd/IXQSaJ Details & Signup - http://is.gd/syHFKn #ugj #locoteams #ubuntu [11:40] Hows that for a tweet/dent ?
