[00:00] Well, we're doing this thing with Seneca this year. [00:00] They do FSOSS every year and they have the space, resources, people and volunteers to manage and plan a big event. [00:01] Basically, it will be at Seneca @ York... so not in Scarborough. [00:01] Are you still accepting speakers for LinuxFest? [00:01] Bob, totally. [00:01] razorgoto: I put in my proposal. :) [00:01] Actually, we had a dearth of speakers this year so far. [00:02] I am encouraging everyone I know to join. [00:02] We are also, on top of the conference, doing an unconference on the last day. [00:03] So that will be more a breakout time to do more workshops and conferences. Maybe of a more impromptu nature. [00:03] Cool. [00:04] Well, it's after 8. [00:04] time does fly swiftly. [00:04] Oneiric is out Oct. 13 so get planning release parties! [00:04] Before we break up, any words on Oneiric's Release Party? [00:05] :) [00:05] BobJonkman: We'll have one in Kwartzlab. I'm hoping there's a Toronto one again. :) [00:05] Oneiric is the LTS. Right? [00:05] I haven't heard about any others. [00:05] razorgoto: Nope. 12.04 is LTS. [00:05] anything in Kingston? haha [00:05] There can only be ONEiric! [00:05] lol. [00:05] SIR_Taco: If you hold one there will be. :D [00:06] Ubuntu Release Parties are easy to arrange. [00:06] The last Ubuntu Release party was great fun here in Toronto. [00:06] The toughest part is getting the Ubuntu logo on the Devilled Eggs! [00:06] Probably better Oneiric isn't an LTS. Don't want to have to keep trying to pronounce it for 5 years. [00:06] dscassel: been holding my breath for awhile now haha [00:06] I will try to get in touch with Mike to see if he will be doing it again. [00:07] razorgoto: Great! [00:07] SIR_Taco: There's gotta be at least a couple Ubuntu users at Queen's... [00:08] SIR_Taco: Just make an announcement, gather in some local establishment, and burn some CDs from the new ISO [00:08] It might turn into an installfest if people bring laptops [00:08] Im afraid I need to drop off. battery's getting pretty low. Nice to meet you all! [00:08] Or just, you know, hang out. :) [00:09] BobJonkman catch up with you soon? [00:09] psema4mobile: No problem thanks for coming out. :) [00:09] Just the thought that it's legal to burn CDs of an operating system is news to some people [00:09] l8tr [00:09] OK psema4mobile, talk to you soon [00:10] gotta say the oneric is hard to spell... [00:10] that's possible [00:12] dscassel: Do you have a date yet for the KW URP? [00:14] Oct 15. [00:14] Yay! [00:15] (The saturday after release, as per tradition. [00:15] (Wait, when's thanksgiving?) [00:15] (the Monday before. Phew) [00:15] 10 Oct [00:15] the weekend before that [00:15] oooh, I'm a birthday turkey again this year haha [00:16] SIR_Taco: heh. :) [00:18] guys, I've been at work long enough. My Windows computer just crashed. I am going home. [00:19] I emailed some people at Free Geek about taking on more activities next two months so we can do some of these stuff in Toronto (Center of Universe.) [00:20] See you later. [00:20] cya razorgoto [00:21] I always miss the meeting haha [00:21] Bye razorgoto [00:21] nice chattin with ya [00:22] bye [00:32] Thanks for coming out, guys. :) [00:37] dscassel, poke [00:38] sorry, just finished reading backlog [00:38] dscassel: might be worth pointing out LinuxConNA next week in Vancouver (I'll be heading out to there on Tuesday) [00:39] dscassel: also, please ping me if you're in Montreal on Monday or before, maybe I can make time [00:46] cyphermox: Oh yeah! [00:46] There's an open source thing in Ottawa in a couple weeks too. [00:46] With rms and everything. [00:46] fun fun [00:47] wait, what? [00:48] what open source thing in Ottawa? I might convince my company to pay [00:49] bregma: hold on.. [00:55] bregma: Found it! [00:55] yay for stuff in Ottawa. this is within driveable distance within a day :) [00:55] http://fosslc.org/drupal/sc2011 [00:56] I'll actually be in Ottawa on the 27th, but I've got a train ticket that leaves at 1pm. :( [00:57] Funny, tho, that the fsf where's rms page doesn't list it. [00:57] It says he's suppoed to be in the UK that week. [00:59] BTW, a little bit of self-promotion I forgot to do at the meeting, I'm putting myself up for Ubuntu membership next week, if you're interested in giving me a testamonial... [01:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dscassel [01:00] dscassel: absolutely, thanks for bringing it up [01:00] i thought the meeting was this week though [01:01] I stand corrected [01:05] dang, August 27 is my brother's 50th birthday party in Hamilton, I can't miss that [01:13] bregma: Maybe your brother will want to meet St IGNUcious for his birthday... :) [01:14] unlikely [02:18] did i miss everything? [02:20] khoover: There's always something. :) [02:20] * dscassel may be lying... [02:20] Still, if there's anything you want to bring up, I haven't done the minutes yet. [02:20] does that something involve beer and/or code? [02:21] oh, not really. [02:21] Drink/code 'em if you got em. [02:21] meant more if we had it here... [02:23] last time i tried to adopt ubuntu, it destroyed my music library. probably cause i had the thing partitioned onto it, and there were two filesystems on one physical drive [02:23] khoover: Where's "here"? :) [02:24] khoover: Ouch. Yeah. I've learned from hard experience to be very, very careful about that stuff. [02:24] here in channel, ofc. where else? [02:24] my house? :P [02:24] * dscassel hands khoover a beer. [02:26] sudo cp beer beer2 [02:26] * khoover hands dscassel beer2 [02:27] cheers [02:30] forever alone... [02:31] :) [02:34] I'm at the Kwartzlab hackerspace for Open Night. [02:34] Webcam here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kwartzlab :) [02:35] * dscassel is actually on camera. Say hi and I'll wave. [02:43] bah, was trying to come up with some clever script for multiplying beer. [02:44] Whoops. Thought the meeting was over already [02:45] dscassel: are you the balded one? [02:45] BobJonkman: it pretty much is [02:47] I uploaded the log a couple of hours ago. I'll have to add the stuff about Ottawa [02:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-08-09/log [02:55] Thanks, BobJonkman [02:55] Bald*ing*, I'll thank you. [02:56] The webcam doesn't have the resolution to pick up the hair that's there. :) [02:56] wave... [02:56] Ben's in the foreground. He's standing in front of me right now. I'm in the back at the table. [02:57] oh, ben's the bald one. [02:57] so, exactly what goes on at hackathons [02:58] Hacking. :D [02:58] It's not actually the Global Synchronous Hackathon. [02:58] Nobody changed the headline. [02:58] dscassel: Do you already have IRC minutes prepared? [02:59] BobJonkman: Were you working on it? [02:59] I started but got distracted. Don't have much. [02:59] Not yet. Took a break for dinner and a movie. [02:59] Movie was awful, dinner was OK [02:59] Fair enough. :) [02:59] can we not simply script what the scribe-bot got into something human-legible? [03:00] Was there a scribe-bot? [03:00] there usually is [03:00] Or are you talking about me? [03:00] Bob posted the log. [03:01] no, the...aw, hang on [03:01] What I usually do is pick out the highlights and make it sound official [03:01] We're not using a meeting bot. [03:01] (Because I haven't figured out how, mostly). [03:01] (And I don't mind being a bit less formal) [03:02] It's my writing style. Dry and turgid [03:03] here we go [03:03] http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/2011/08/10/%23ubuntu-ca.html [03:04] Yeah, that's the log. :) [03:04] well, my mistake in calling it scribe-bot. [03:04] could've sworn i saw it called a bot somewhere... [03:04] Not unlike http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/08/09/%23ubuntu-ca.html#t23:00 [03:04] I think that comes from locobot_1 [03:06] damn, son, it's even colour coded [03:13] auuuuuugh, why'd i leave rtf's on office. [03:20] speaking of formatting [03:21] i hate to inturrupt, but i been wondering for awhile and never found the best time to ask [03:21] i been using empathy right now for irc chat [03:22] but the text is too small for me, how can i change the empathy chat text size? Does anyone know offhand [03:22] ? [03:24] should be ctrl++ or ctrl+- [03:24] at least, that works for near everything [03:30] not in this case khoover [03:30] and i have found no formatting preferences or settings yet either. [03:30] thanks for the advice though :) [03:31] but no luck so far [03:32] Hm... lemme poke around... [03:33] perhaps this is something which can be changed via global text sizing for the os? [03:33] ok [03:33] ty [03:34] Also weird: the Ubuntu theme doesn't use the Ubuntu font. o_o [03:34] touchee! [03:35] there are android fonts in the repos ehh? [03:35] What package? [03:35] I have it installed and use the android mono space for terminal [03:36] 1 sec, i will try to grep [03:37] Just searching for "android" in software centre doesn't turn anything up. [03:38] in synaptic [03:38] ttf-droid [03:38] and [03:39] I've got it installed alread. Awesome. :D [03:39] Nice mono font. :) [03:40] haha, i set it up for my terminal and a few other places i have used it [03:40] I think one of the sansarrifs is pretty cool as well [03:41] I like the ubuntu sans as well, it is nice, i am surprised it is not in empathy by default, especially setting it to Ubuntu theme. [03:41] I have trouble typing right now becasue i have a hand brace, and it is very frusterating to work on the computer with it [03:42] maybe the font seeting is in an empathy config file [03:42] It's not in gconf, far as I can tell. [03:43] The minutes, they be up : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-08-09 [03:46] Awesome, thanks, BobJonkman [03:47] You're welcome. [03:47] I'm displeased with the vertical spacing that bullet points create [03:48] Yeah, something's wrong with the CSS for links. [03:48] huh? [03:49] looks good to me [03:50] cvillaco: Then you probably aren't using the Ubuntu light theme. :) [03:50] (Or maybe it's a Firefox thing) [03:51] hmm [03:51] i do see [03:52] some spacing in the ul can you inset css into the template? [03:52] i think it's inheriting a line-height of 1.5 [03:53] hmm [03:53] also there are p tags in li, making a double linebreak [03:53] if the p's in li could be changed to non block level [03:54] if the css could be changed, im sure the spacing could be fixed, but it might just be the way the develoeprs of the site prefer listing too [03:54] i could troubleshoot styles like this but it is hard i have a finger brace on [03:55] Not sure who you'd complain to. [03:55] and it is frusterating to do any navigation or typing [03:55] Probably ask around in #ubuntu-website [03:57] cvillaco: If you change the "Documentation font" size in preferences > Appearances, it'll change the font in Empathy. [03:58] And now it is midnight. I shall retire. [03:58] 'night all. :) [03:59] thanks dscassel. [03:59] nighty-night [03:59] time to leave work at last [04:32] I missed it didn't I... [04:33] the LoCo meeting? [04:34] yeah [04:34] yes! [04:34] just by a few hours though :-) [04:34] the one that started 5 hours ago :P [04:35] lol [04:35] oh well, next time I guess [04:35] some of the meeting i think trailed on so im not sure how long since the end, but you missed the start by a few :-) [04:35] anything interresting happen? [04:37] im kinda new member, [04:37] there were talks about jams happening [04:37] here is some information on the meeting [04:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-08-09 [04:38] and a og has been kept [04:38] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-08-09/log [04:38] :-) [04:39] i would tell more but some of it went over my head, and I have a hand brace [04:59] cool, i'll just take a look at the logs then, thanks === khoover_ is now known as khoover [11:18] isn't linuxfest toronto cancelled? [11:38] khoover: Ontario Linux Fest is reborn! [11:38] dscassel: ooooh, where?

Unless I can convince my boss it's work-related... 9_9 === khoover_ is now known as khoover [12:20] god dammit, why is my net fucking up so hard?

I'm just catching up on the minutes from meeting. Got home last night to find my DSL modem had basically imploded... [14:33] sorry I missed the meeting was busy messing with my other pc , have to dual boot it in order to keep up with W7 ...had to search to find out how to defrag wife's W7 pc :) [14:37] youse guys didn't miss much, just the usual [14:39] youse guys ? :) heh [14:39] Hm. The Toronto Linuxfest link goes to immutable page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxFest where the dates are from 2009-2010 and the Ontario link starts with "Cancelled" [14:40] btw, hi genii-around , bregma [14:40] Hi BluesKaj :) [14:49] I got an email from Sammy Lao at FreeGeek asking if there will be a Toronto release-party for Oneiric.. For whoever is interested, yes. I do not yet have a set date but it will be at the same venue as before. [14:50] Awesome. Thanks, genii-around [14:50] Your name came up at the meeting last night. :) [14:51] genii-around: Toronto Linux Fest is being rolled into FSOSS. [14:51] Oct 27-29 at the York campus http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2011/ [14:54] Yes, after I found that http://onlinux.ca/ page started with "Cancelled" I saw your Nabble link on the sidebar there :) [14:57] :) [14:57] OGLF was my first active Ubuntu community participation thing. :) [14:58] (Speaking of which, if anyone wants to say nice things about me on my wiki page, I won't mind... http://wiki.ubuntu.com/dscassel) [14:58] * dscassel is putting himself up for membership next week. [15:05] Meh. I changed my primary email at Launchpad and deleted the old one, but it still wants me to put the old one to sign in. Weird. [15:27] dscassel: I put in my two cents worth for you :) [15:28] Thanks, genii-around :D [15:38] Anyone have a recommendation for an ADSL modem? I was using a Speedtouch 516 but the insides cooked. [15:38] whats up guys, did some one called me?
