| jono | paultag, any chance you could add those feeds now? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| jono | just ready for the global jam :-) | 00:05 |
| paultag | jono: I'll do it by EOD, but I'm a bit swamped atm | 00:07 |
| jono | paultag, thanks, pal! | 00:07 |
| paultag | sure thing | 00:07 |
| * jono wraps up the membership survey report | 00:15 | |
| jcastro | HEY PAULTAG | 00:15 |
| paultag | jcastro: HEY GEORGE | 00:16 |
| jcastro | man the AMA ended up being pretty awesome | 00:16 |
| paultag | jcastro: :) | 00:17 |
| paultag | mhall119: How smart is the LD planet? | 00:17 |
| paultag | mhall119: I was just pulling up links in the background, and ubuntu-ca looks to have randal's feed in it - if I add randal's feed, it'll bork, yes? | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | not very | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | if by "bork" you mean "display duplicates", then maybe | 00:18 |
| paultag | mhall119: so it'd be sane to reject randal's for reason that it's included indirectly? | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | I would think so, yeah | 00:20 |
| paultag | mhall119: ok, thanks | 00:20 |
| jcastro | "Any plans to make Unity more themeable? That's my biggest gripe with it right now, and I'm sure a lot of users feel the same." | 00:20 |
| mhall119 | I mean, I could have it check for duplicate uid, but there's no gurantee that 2 distinct blogs won't use the same uid | 00:20 |
| jcastro | he should just set a wallpaper | 00:20 |
| paultag | jcastro: can I quote that ;) | 00:21 |
| jono | jcastro, hey | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | I hear that gripe a lot, but really, I don't *see* unity 95% of the time, wasn't that the whole point of it? | 00:21 |
| paultag | mhall119: yeah. I'm not so sure that's something we should care about | 00:21 |
| jono | jcastro, want to hear something that will make you kill yourself? | 00:21 |
| jono | jcastro, http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/09/02/axel-rudi-pell-holy-diver-song/ | 00:21 |
| jcastro | mhall119: well, if you like red corvettes let's say, and you set a red corvette wallpaper, your unity will look .... wait for it ..... red. | 00:21 |
| jcastro | jono: looking | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | jcastro: what happens if you put a screenshot of Unity as your wallpaper? | 00:22 |
| jcastro | jono: one of those nu metal bands does a dio cover that makes me want to kill myself | 00:22 |
| jcastro | mhall119: don't do that. space/time continum, etc. | 00:22 |
| jcastro | jono: man dude, this is pretty awesome | 00:22 |
| jcastro | (being serious) | 00:22 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I found that out about 2 hours from now | 00:22 |
| jcastro | jono: I envision when I get old, sitting in Vegas with some lounge singer singing this. | 00:23 |
| jcastro | wondering what happened to my life, etc. | 00:23 |
| jcastro | like that Nicholas Cage movie | 00:23 |
| jcastro | jono: guess what I heard on the radio today | 00:23 |
| jcastro | Mercyful Fate! | 00:24 |
| jcastro | it came on and I looked at Jill and was like "wait until you hear this guy's voice." | 00:24 |
| jcastro | then it hit her like a ton of bricks, lol | 00:24 |
| jcastro | hmm, I wonder if they have a best of CD. | 00:24 |
| jcastro | I can see myself getting that, but nothing more than just that. | 00:25 |
| jono | jcastro, we can't be friends anymore | 00:25 |
| jono | jcastro, it is not a patch on this monstrosity - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c15yM77xkP4 | 00:25 |
| jcastro | ok this one's a bit too much | 00:26 |
| jono | a bit? | 00:26 |
| jono | I punched a hole in my monitor | 00:26 |
| jono | lo | 00:26 |
| jono | lol | 00:26 |
| jcastro | oh god | 00:26 |
| jcastro | is that a guitar? | 00:26 |
| jcastro | it sounds like they want to be NIN | 00:26 |
| jcastro | wow, this is horrible | 00:27 |
| jono | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpl5mOAXNl4 | 00:27 |
| jcastro | oh yes, found it | 00:27 |

| jcastro | don't touch! never ever steal! | 00:29 |
| jcastro | unless, you're in for the kill! | 00:29 |
| jcastro | you've been caught, by the curse of the pharoah oh .... | 00:29 |
| jcastro | chugga chugga | 00:29 |
| mhall119 | choo choo | 00:33 |
| jcastro | hmm, King Diamond also has a "Best of" Album. | 00:35 |
| jcastro | Come on, really dude. You have like 2 good songs, tops. | 00:35 |
| paultag | jono: mhall119: feeds done. I just did them over a snack. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoPortalFeeds#preview <- there's a report in the added column in what was done | 00:37 |
| paultag | All were approved except Randal's, since it's there via CA | 00:37 |
| jcastro | ugh, I hate impulse music buys, I already want to strangle this guy | 00:41 |
| jcastro | jono: you should have interveened | 00:41 |
| jcastro | hmm, at least the rest of the band knows how to jam | 00:41 |
| paultag | hunh, it works. | 00:44 |
| paultag | clever | 00:44 |
| jcastro | good, I hate that guy | 00:44 |

| paultag | e | 01:01 |
| akgraner | jono does Canonical have training aides for teaching Ubuntu. I've been asked to teach a class of 9th graders Ubuntu. I was hoping to find a curriculum that just needs to be updated. If you don't know could you point me in the right direction? Please and thank you! | 01:13 |
| jono | akgraner, nope, nothing like that exists afaik | 01:15 |
| akgraner | I've already ordered the official Ubuntu book for all the students, but I know I'm going to need a more formal outline to present to the school... | 01:15 |
| jono | akgraner, maybe ask Ubuntu Youth | 01:15 |
| jono | would be awesome if you developed such a course | 01:15 |
| akgraner | well I'm going to have to :-) so I'll share it with everyone and let people add to it - if this goes well the whole school may migrate :-) | 01:16 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: ask the Edubuntu team too, they might have something | 01:16 |
| akgraner | mhall119, that's true - I'll hunt dinda down too :-) | 01:17 |
| paultag | jono: akgraner: there was an ubuntu community learning project (UCLP) that had such materials IIRC | 01:17 |
| paultag | akgraner: might want to ask pleia2 or doctormo about it | 01:17 |
| paultag | this was before that team exploded | 01:17 |
| akgraner | Thanks y'all I'll explore all these options :-) I only have 4 weeks to come up with this so I'll be hustling :-) b/c of course I said, "No problem, can teach them!" | 01:19 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: you can't just tell them to figure it out themselves? | 01:19 |
| akgraner | um not if I want a paycheck from them :-) | 01:19 |
| mhall119 | oh, you're getting paid for this? | 01:20 |
| mhall119 | nice | 01:20 |
| akgraner | yeppers :-) | 01:20 |
| akgraner | I don't turn down money... | 01:20 |
| mhall119 | good career advice | 01:20 |
| akgraner | While I may give it away and share it - I'll take it gladly :-) | 01:21 |
| mhall119 | I can just imagine your brain: "You mean there will be a captive audience I can tell about the wonders of Ubuntu *and* I'll get paid to do it?!?!" | 01:21 |
| akgraner | oh heck yeah :-) that's exactly what I thought | 01:21 |
| akgraner | and none of this would have happened if I hadn't broken my knee - my physical therapist started asking me about Ubuntu. Then I gave him the official book and a subscription to Ubuntu User. He went to the PTA and School Officials and pitched the plan to try it with one grade and BAM the rest will hopefully be history... | 01:23 |
| akgraner | See it does pay to talk to everyone who will listen about Ubuntu :-) | 01:24 |
| cjohnston | jono, mhall119 paultag et al... I don't know about mhall119, but I would prefer that, since access was given to the LC, that the LC be responsible for adding/checking blogs, (or you jono since you also have access). If there is a problem with adding a blog feel free to ask for assistance.. other than that, I'd personally rather not be responsible for that part. | 02:03 |
| paultag | cjohnston: keep reading backlog | 02:06 |
| cjohnston | I know that mhall119 said that he wanted the loco council to make the decisions.. im mostly saying that I'd rather that the LC make decisions and add, which I don't see, but could have missed him mentioning about adding them as well | 02:08 |
| paultag | cjohnston: dude, I don't want to keep repeating conversations - I did it, I don't think anyone left with the impression that ya'll are managing it | 02:09 |
| paultag | cjohnston: I'm busy | 02:09 |
| paultag | cjohnston: we can chat later, there's no issue | 02:09 |
| cjohnston | ok | 02:09 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: ubuntu learning is a bit defunct, but only because I don't have volunteers to help write course materials (doctormo has written 5 sysadmin classes that he was teaching up near boston for a while) | 02:25 |
| pleia2 | we're still over in #ubuntu-learning though | 02:25 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I have 5 people now wanting to help - one person was a college level teacher for 20 years :-) so I'll share the googledoc link with you and anyone who wants to help is welcome to :-) I'll start on this on Monday as I need to finish a million other things between now and Sunday :-) | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: awesome, darkwingduck joined recently too so we'll see | 02:27 |
| akgraner | sweet! | 02:27 |
| pleia2 | I'm at an airport now so we can touch base tuesday :) | 02:27 |
| akgraner | :-) thank you! | 02:28 |
| * pleia2 finally using her fancy lounge pass! | 02:28 | |
| akgraner | great! have a great weekend! and don't worry about UWN we'll take care of it...no stress for you this weekend :-P | 02:28 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 02:28 |
| akgraner | Ok who wants to teach me how to start a project in LP :-) That should be a good Global Jam event -teaching akgraner to use LP for more that filing bugs and joining teams...I think if I ask pgraner their may be a fight :-) I'll see if I can figure it out on Sunday but if I get stuck I'm pinging y'all - consider this your warning :-) | 03:19 |
| akgraner | s/their/there | 03:19 |
| czajkowski | morning | 06:05 |

| jussi | 35C.... WHY??????? :( | 14:37 |
| akgraner | anyone else running oneiric can you check to see if checkbox/system testing will work for you - I can't get it to run for me using oneiric | 14:45 |
| czajkowski | akgraner: where do I run it | 14:46 |
| akgraner | pgraner's filing the bug since he can't get it to run either as I am still packing to take stuff to our global jam venue | 14:46 |
| czajkowski | having issues with getting U1 to run | 14:46 |
| czajkowski | cant launch gwibber | 14:46 |
| akgraner | czajkowski, go to the dash and type "system testing" | 14:46 |
| akgraner | you should see the icon show up click on it and see if it opens up for you | 14:47 |
| akgraner | Thank you! | 14:47 |
| akgraner | I am set to demo this in about an hour - and it looks like I will have to fall back to Natty | 14:47 |
| akgraner | here's the bug number if you can't get to work for you either - 840376 | 14:48 |
| akgraner | yeah there's a lot of broken stuff in the beta I am finding - I think I likes the alpha better :-/ | 14:49 |
| akgraner | well I gotta run thanks czajkowski for trying it - I have an hour to drive to the venue...more later | 14:50 |
| czajkowski | ant get it to run | 14:51 |
| czajkowski | *cant | 14:51 |

| czajkowski | which bug number ? | 14:54 |
| czajkowski | bug #840376 | 14:54 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 840376 in checkbox "System Testing (aka checkbox-gtk) fails to run" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/840376 | 14:54 |
| nigelb | AlanBell: ara blogged about something related to that. | 15:50 |
| nigelb | err | 15:50 |
| nigelb | akgraner: ^ | 15:50 |
| paultag | akgraner: hey, you jamming? | 17:08 |
| paultag | akgraner: I need you to do something if you are | 17:09 |
| paultag | akgraner: and like nowish | 17:09 |
| paultag | :) | 17:10 |
| paultag | akgraner: if you're at the NC jam, can you stand up and ask for "John Riselvato". He worked on a few of my projects in the past, and I would love it if you could give him a (over the top) welcome | 17:11 |
| paultag | akgraner: get him to stand up and wave and all that other humiliating crud | 17:11 |
| * AlanBell looks forward to meeting openiduser560 at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/1257/detail/ | 18:47 | |
| czajkowski | akgraner: why ? | 18:49 |
| * popey waves to everyone | 19:38 | |
| akgraner | paultag, sorry - I wasn't looking at IRC during the jam | 23:56 |
| akgraner | :-( | 23:56 |
| akgraner | It all worked out - I just showed everyone how to get to system testing (no one but me and Pete and one other person were running oneiric) and I showed them the mock-ups and gave them the overview and asked them to join the UF LP team and maiing list and send in feedback | 23:58 |
| akgraner | then I just showed everyone what Beta 1 was looking like and highlighted the coolness of the software center :-) it was fun.. | 23:59 |
