| akgraner | anyone else read through the newsletter? | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | I skimmed it | 00:24 |
| mhall119 | every looked okay | 00:25 |
| mhall119 | how do you collect all of that information though? | 00:25 |
| Pendulum | mhall119: people dump links into a google doc | 00:26 |
| akgraner | mhall119, what Pen said - and myself and others went through about 150 issues and pulled links to every site we used and I created an RSS feed for them them I skim through daily | 00:34 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: sounds like you need a better RSS reader ;) | 00:42 |
| akgraner | :-) | 00:42 |
| mhall119 | also, it sounds like we should export the loco.u.c blog aggregation as RSS | 00:43 |
| akgraner | I am still not comfortable with everything beinf automated - I like to look at the information | 00:43 |
| akgraner | and sometimes the first paragraph doesn't contain the meat of the story/post | 00:43 |
| mhall119 | ReadFeeder wouldn't automate it, but you could make a queue for each section in UWN, and just drop stuff into those queues as you find them during the month | 00:45 |
| mhall119 | it also displays the original page, not the summary | 00:45 |
| mhall119 | (the summary is in a tooltip over the entry title though, for skimming) | 00:46 |
| akgraner | cool - yeah I really need to dump all the feeds into Readfeeder it's on my list :-) | 00:48 |
| mhall119 | I'm up to 1876 feeds being updated by RF | 00:49 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: do you have an OPML file of the feeds? | 00:49 |
| akgraner | um prob not b/c I don't even know what OPML means ;-) | 00:49 |
| akgraner | or I might and just not know it | 00:50 |
| akgraner | which is entirely possible | 00:50 |
| mhall119 | if it's in Google Reader you can get an OPML, it's basically just an XML file of the feed url and title | 01:00 |
| akgraner | ok then yep I have that :-) | 01:00 |
| akgraner | brb need to finish publishing UWN :-) Finally woot woot | 01:01 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: is there an RSS feed for UWN that I can subscribe to? | 02:40 |
| akgraner | there is supposed to be - it would be the fridge feed.... | 02:40 |
| akgraner | I don't think - or can't remember if we set up another one yet or not - also people subscribe to the forums post as well | 02:41 |
| * akgraner adds that to my list of things to verify or get fixed :-) | 02:41 | |
| mhall119 | I was just wondering, it's not a big deal if there isn't | 02:47 |
| paultag | So, I've decided to make the first hipster distro with Syn | 02:48 |
| paultag | I think it'll be an ironic statement on the state of GNU/Linux (which I do understand makes me a hipster) | 02:48 |
| paultag | I'm going to make the default terminal font Helvetica | 02:49 |
| paultag | (but monospaced) - and preloaded indie music that you've never heard of | 02:49 |
| mhall119 | but then people will have heard of it | 02:50 |
| paultag | humm good point | 02:50 |
| mhall119 | OMG, you'd be able to destroy hipsterism! | 02:50 |
| mhall119 | do it! | 02:50 |
| mhall119 | DO IT! | 02:50 |
| paultag | :) | 02:50 |
| paultag | I think I'll do that - I wonder if I can use the linux framebuffer to set the console's background to something | 02:50 |
| paultag | RMS with a scarf and glasses | 02:51 |
| mhall119 | how would you know if he had on a scarf? | 02:51 |
| mhall119 | or, if the scarf was wrapped around the beard, how would you know it was RMS? | 02:52 |
| paultag | true | 02:52 |
| paultag | perhaps RMS posing with a fixie | 02:52 |
| mhall119 | fixie? | 02:52 |
| paultag | mhall119: fixed speed bike | 02:52 |
| mhall119 | oh man, I'm so not hipster | 02:53 |
| paultag | truth | 02:53 |
| paultag | mhall119: want to see something super hipster? | 02:53 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: so I tried my hand at a molasses based BBQ sauce tonight, turned out alright, but there's something missing | 02:54 |
| mhall119 | paultag: sure | 02:54 |
| paultag | mhall119: this is what the next release of Fluxbox is going to look like (minus the conky script, that's mine ;) ) - http://i.imgur.com/nP9Sf.png | 02:54 |
| paultag | classy, aye? | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | so I'm randomly announcing it and then I'm off to bed: I am going before the EMEA board tomorrow (scheduling conflict for america meeting) :) | 02:55 |
| mhall119 | ew | 02:55 |
| paultag | mhall119: oh pfft - it's so clutch | 02:55 |
| mhall119 | Cheri703: you weren't a member already? | 02:55 |
| paultag | Cheri703: :D | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | nope mhall119 | 02:55 |
| mhall119 | Cheri703: where's your wiki application page? | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | hope to be after tomorrow :) | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cheri703 | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | I'm a bit anxious as I've not been doing quite as much in the past few months, but life has been insane :/ things should actually start calming down, even though I'm starting a full time job next week (hence the scheduling conflict) | 02:57 |
| mhall119 | IME, the membership boards know that people's contribution levels rise and fall, and that sometimes life takes precedence | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | thanks mhall119 :) | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | kk, cool :) | 02:58 |
| akgraner | Cheri703, you rock - don't be nervous... | 02:59 |
| mhall119 | paultag: Fluxbox can look beautiful, why does is still look like Win95? | 02:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: it's a secret, but we have compositing support for 1.3.1+2 | 02:59 |
| Cheri703 | thanks akgraner | 02:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: so it should handle compiz esque fancyness, but our impl is stupid small footprint | 02:59 |
| mhall119 | paultag: but the widgets look dated | 02:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: we also have new lua support | 02:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: that's conky not fluxbox | 02:59 |
| Cheri703 | ok, well, just wanted to mention it, and now I'm off to bed! early morning tomorrow | 03:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: we also have cool xdg autostarting shaz going, so it might become a workable DE soonish | 03:00 |
| mhall119 | paultag: I mean the window frame, scrollbars, toolbar, etc | 03:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: oh, I actually prefer it like that :( | 03:00 |
| mhall119 | paultag: cool, have you proposed the xdg autostart upstream yet? | 03:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: since we have compositing support, we could get it slick looking soonish | 03:01 |
| paultag | mhall119: sorta kinda. I have my delta up and in the testing branch | 03:01 |
| mhall119 | paultag: I saw fluxbox slick looking 5 years ago | 03:01 |
| paultag | mhall119: I need to add a bit more and clean it up | 03:01 |
| paultag | mhall119: yeah Mint's doing an OK job with it | 03:01 |
| mhall119 | I almost used Fluxbox as the basis for Qimo | 03:01 |
| paultag | mhall119: http://linuxcritic.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/lm8fbce_mintconfig.png <- that's Fluxbox | 03:02 |
| mhall119 | see. why doesn't it look like that by default? | 03:02 |
| paultag | mhall119: because the idiots who can do good work like that don't feel like contributing upstream | 03:03 |
| paultag | and it pisses me off | 03:03 |
| paultag | If I could get in touch with whoever, I'd gladly merge it in personally | 03:03 |
| mhall119 | it's open source right? Steal their configs | 03:03 |
| paultag | mhall119: Yeah, but some of it is either not documented under a license or CC-NC-SA 3 | 03:03 |
| paultag | with means it's nonfree by DFSG standards | 03:03 |
| paultag | mhall119: I'm going to head off, but perhaps I'll start hunting harder to make fluxbox prettier OTB | 03:04 |
| paultag | One love :) | 03:04 |
| mhall119 | g'night | 03:04 |
| * mhall119 should wrap up school work and head to bed too | 03:05 | |
| doctormo | Hey paultag | 03:05 |
| mhall119 | so I'm writing an essay about open source software, where should I go with this? | 03:06 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: ^^ and NTEU insights for me? | 03:06 |
| doctormo | mhall119: go to me ;-). what are writing about? | 03:06 |
| mhall119 | doctormo: I haven't decided yet, something about FLOSS that I personally relate to or care about | 03:07 |
| mhall119 | but in no more than 5 pages | 03:07 |
| akgraner | mhall119, wow - that's a huge topic- gotta narrow it down some more | 03:07 |
| mhall119 | yeah, that's what I'm asking for suggestions for | 03:07 |
| akgraner | ok so give me 4 things you can personally relate too | 03:08 |
| mhall119 | it's not supposed to be an advocacy piece, more descriptive from a personal point of view | 03:08 |
| doctormo | mhall119: Yeah, I think I've maybe savaged about 60% of the FOSS topic over 4 years of blogs and comments. | 03:08 |
| akgraner | relate/care about | 03:08 |
| mhall119 | learning, sharing, fixing and creating | 03:08 |
| mhall119 | but a lot of that is because I'm a developer | 03:09 |
| mhall119 | I'm wondering how to relate this to technical non-developers or non-technical users | 03:09 |
| doctormo | mhall119: Owning, fixing, learning, sharing. FOSS rules. | 03:09 |
| akgraner | Then discuss where the pain points are for new users and how as a developer you work to overcome the gaps/barriers to entry without lowering the standards of quality | 03:09 |
| mhall119 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683063/ are my notes so far | 03:10 |
| akgraner | or making new users feel patronized etc | 03:10 |
| * mhall119 loves tomboy-pastebinit | 03:10 | |
| mhall119 | need to fix bullets and indenting though :( | 03:11 |
| doctormo | The only parts missing from my mental list are: Efficiencies, NIH resistance, Pre-Pay Development models, support freedom (choosing who to help you) etc. | 03:13 |
| mhall119 | NIH resistance? | 03:13 |
| mhall119 | have you seen the number of python web frameworks? | 03:13 |
| mhall119 | or java ones? | 03:13 |
| akgraner | mhall119, that's some pretty cool brainstorming there | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: thanks | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | I tell you, Tomboy should be a requirement for college work | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | don't know what I'd do without it | 03:14 |
| akgraner | Let me think about it - I've been up since 5am and have another early day tomorrow - can I give you some sane feedback tomorrow? | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | sure, my brainstorming is due tomorrow night | 03:14 |
| akgraner | ok cool... | 03:15 |
| mhall119 | g'night | 03:15 |
| mhall119 | and thanks both of you | 03:15 |
| doctormo | mhall119: Well resistance in a certain way, probably not in some others. | 03:34 |
| doctormo | np, night night | 03:34 |
| cheenu | how to download a video from youtube from ubuntu terminal? | 06:33 |
| AlanBell | cheenu: try asking in #ubuntu or your loco team channel | 06:34 |
| AlanBell | this isn't really the right place for that question | 06:35 |
| dpm | good morning all | 06:35 |
| cheenu | ok thanks but can u tell me how to go for #ubuntu ?? | 06:36 |
| cheenu | i got it fine thanks | 06:37 |
