[00:26] <raevol> jammin in san diego
[00:26] <Ttech> I'm there... D:
[00:26] <DarkwingDuck> San Diego style.
[00:29] <philipballew> gonna be fun!!!!
[01:03] <raevol> attempt #2
[01:10] <raevol> torrenting 11.10 install iso, hope the cafe doesn't mind :3
[01:11] <raevol> hey philipballew lololol
[02:15] <bkerensa> Global Jam was a success
[02:15] <bkerensa> :D
[02:18] <akk> yay!
[02:26] <akk> Was it arranged around doing a specific thing, or more general?
[02:26]  * akk hasn't made it to a jam yet, but the ones around here usually seem to have specific topics/goals
[02:41] <raevol> more general, we actually mostly just chatted about things
[02:47] <akk> That's probably better, then you don't have people not coming because the theme doesn't sound interesting.
[02:50] <raevol> for the first loco thing san diego has done in a while, we had a decent turnout
[04:30] <philipballew> has anyone here seen a cheep domain registry company?
[04:31] <bkerensa> akk: We had planned on doing bug triaging and documentation but in the end people ran late and our venue was reserved for only two hours so basically we gave some overviews on contributing and how to do such and get involved and did a brief q+a on contributing
[04:31] <bkerensa> akk: I wish we had more time to actually do some contributions but I guess it was like a Intro to Contributing to Ubuntu/ Social Event
[04:32] <philipballew> bkerensa, thats exactly what happened here
[04:32] <bkerensa> next year if I'm still team lead then I will plan to start the event much earlier say 9am or 10am and then run it all afternoon so we can actually do some triaging and doc work like I had planned
[04:32] <akk> It's actualy really hard to do anything useful at a group social thing like that.
[04:33] <akk> I've been to a bunch of mapping parties (openstreetmap) and they always get bogged down before the point of anybody actually checking in any map changes
[04:33] <akk> though the "go out and walk around with GPSes" part works well.
[04:34] <bkerensa> akk: Yeah but the good thing is we got a lot of new people who work at tech companies whether it was women or teachers to come and now we drew more interest in the LoCo and in Ubuntu and I got to talk with some teachers and told them about my idea for getting ubuntu pc's into classrooms so it was an excellent advocacy event and lots of info was given
[04:34] <akk> Events always seem to get bogged down with stuff like "oops, the wifi keeps disconnecting" and "oh, wait, I thought I had that installed on my laptop, we all need to install this package first"
[04:35] <philipballew> a local mirrior helps
[04:35] <akk> If you had your own router to set up a local net, and then one of the laptops was a mirror, that would help a lot
[04:35] <akk> though sneakernet with usb sticks often works well.
[04:36] <akk> I've been to many an event that was saved by passing around three or four USB sticks until everybody had a copy.
[04:36] <bkerensa> akk: We did get a few people to try Oneirc
[04:36] <bkerensa> Oneiric*
[04:37] <philipballew> its already pretty stable
[04:37] <bkerensa> We had Wifi since we were in a corporate office
[04:38] <philipballew> how many were there?
[04:41] <akk> Events are always in a place that "has wifi", but having it actually work and continue to work throughout the event is much more rare. :)
[04:42] <philipballew> they should use ddwrt
[04:42] <philipballew> that stuff's awesome
[04:55] <bkerensa> how many what?
[04:56] <bkerensa> I think we had over 15 people but a lot of people ended up not making it due to labor day and also probably from some extracurricular activity on Friday :P
[05:00] <philipballew> more then we had. awesome!!!

[19:49] <grantbow> http://www.dreamfish.com/pg/gblog/read/25008/Linux-Fundamentals comments welcome
[19:53] <DarkwingDuck> grantbow, will take a look in a minute.
[19:53] <Ttech> Linux Fundimential?
[19:54] <philipballew> Nice!
[19:56] <grantbow> some context - this is written for a community that philosophically very much agrees with open source but has limited skills to help one another yet.
[19:56] <grantbow> When I get to Nairobi, Kenya this week I hope to help them install alot of Ubuntu.
[19:56] <grantbow> and a Debian server as a prototype since that's what dreamfish.com runs
[19:57] <grantbow> s/prototype/staging server/
[20:01] <grantbow> actually that's not totally true. They are having an open source sprint on Sept 11, same day as Solano Stroll in Berkeley.
