| superfly | morning nuvolari | 05:00 |
| superfly | and why are you dying all the time? | 05:00 |
| nuvolari | superfly: mornings | 05:14 |
| nuvolari | superfly: all the time it feels as if I'm about to say my last words :P | 05:14 |
| nuvolari | but this morning in particular we had extra inspiration along the road on our bicycle trip, so pedalled extra hard | 05:15 |
| superfly | nuvolari: you're so dramatic, you could be emo | 05:15 |
| nuvolari | nemo is a fish, I'm not a fish | 05:16 |
| superfly | my point exactly. | 05:16 |
| nuvolari | OH-Kay, I'll try to be a little more subtle :P | 05:17 |
| nuvolari | what's wrong with dramatic anyway? it's the only bit of excitement I have :P | 05:18 |
| superfly | nuvolari: typically we leave drama to the girls ;-) | 05:22 |
| cocooncrash | Well said. | 05:32 |

| Maaz | kbmonkey: I'll remember that | 17:19 |
| superfly | Maaz: what did | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: *blink* | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: what did you do | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: Huh? | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: what | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: Huh? | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: last factoid | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: What? | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: last fact | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: Huh? | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: how do I use factoid | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: Factoids are arbitrary pieces of information stored by a key. Factoids beginning with a command such as "<action>" or "<reply>" will supress the "name verb value" output. Search and replace functions won't use real regexs unless appended with the 'r' flag. | 17:20 |
| Maaz | You can use it like this: | 17:20 |
| Maaz | search [for] [<limit>] [(facts|values) [containing]] (<pattern>|/<pattern>/[r]) [from <start>] | 17:20 |
| Maaz | literal <name> [( #<from number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 17:20 |
| Maaz | forget <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 17:20 |
| Maaz | <name> is the same as <other name> | 17:20 |
| Maaz | <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] += <suffix> | 17:20 |
| Maaz | <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] ~= ( s/<regex>/<replacement>/[g][i][r] | y/<source>/<dest>/ ) | 17:20 |
| Maaz | <factoid> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 17:20 |
| Maaz | <name> (<verb>|=<verb>=) [also] <value> | 17:20 |
| Maaz | last set factoid | 17:20 |
| superfly | ah | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: last set factoid | 17:20 |
| Maaz | superfly: It was: what did you | 17:20 |
| superfly | Maaz: forget what did you | 17:21 |
| Maaz | superfly: Righto | 17:21 |
| kbmonkey | oops :p | 17:21 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:21 |
| kbmonkey | is everyone feeling energetic tonight? | 17:23 |
| superfly | no | 17:23 |
| nlsthzn | So... I hope we have a fun filled agenda... or I may just fall asleep zzzzzz | 17:23 |
| superfly | well, my toddler is | 17:23 |
| Kilos | nope. been a bad head day | 17:23 |
| kbmonkey | ouch Kilos that can't be too nice | 17:24 |
| Kilos | no slept near the whole day | 17:24 |
| Kilos | but didnt wanna miss the meeting | 17:24 |
| kbmonkey | so dedicated! | 17:24 |
| nlsthzn | I nominate Kilos for team mascot | 17:25 |
| Kilos | no man, just nosy | 17:25 |
| kbmonkey | we need to build an electronic brain skullcap to transfer Kilos's mind into irc and be our new Maaz | 17:25 |
| Kilos | bmg505, meeting in 5 | 17:25 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:26 |
| Kilos | maaz is too clever | 17:26 |
| Kilos | Kerbero, meeting in 5 | 17:26 |
| Kilos | confluency, you attending? | 17:27 |
| octoquad | brb | 17:27 |
| * nlsthzn wishes the marker line was working in this channel :( | 17:27 | |
| Kilos | what marker line nlsthzn | 17:28 |
| Kilos | inetpro, ping | 17:28 |
| nlsthzn | In XChat you can have the last place you read have a read line so if you come back after a while you can easily catch up with the conversation... works in most channels... but not this one :/ | 17:29 |
| Kilos | if you just go to another channel it does it as soon as someone chats | 17:30 |
| Kilos | or even another workspace at times | 17:30 |
| kbmonkey | should we give it 1 more min | 17:30 |
| Kilos | xchat needs a nudge function like pidgin to shake everyones screens | 17:31 |
| Kilos | or attention button | 17:31 |
| kbmonkey | nothing shakes my screen except me | 17:31 |
| nlsthzn | Kilos, nope... most channels work that way, but not ubuntu-za... very odd... oh well :) | 17:32 |
| kbmonkey | wow good point nlsthzn, never realized that. | 17:32 |
| kbmonkey | very odd indeed | 17:32 |
| Kilos | no maia even | 17:32 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: I reckon we should start | 17:33 |
| superfly | I have to go give a little boy a shower soon | 17:33 |
| kbmonkey | agreed | 17:33 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz start meeting about Monthly IRC meeting | 17:33 |
| * Maaz gets out his memo-pad and cracks his knuckles | 17:33 | |
| kbmonkey | Maaz I am Wesley Werner | 17:34 |
| Maaz | kbmonkey: Yessir | 17:34 |
| octoquad | nlsthzn: it works for me, it's a red line right | 17:34 |
| octoquad | ? | 17:34 |
| nlsthzn | Maaz I am Neil Oosthuizen | 17:34 |
| Maaz | nlsthzn: Okay | 17:34 |

| mrs_fly | Maaz: I am Hannah Snyman | 17:34 |
| Maaz | mrs_fly: Alrighty | 17:34 |
| Kilos | Maaz, I am Miles Sharpe | 17:34 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Righto | 17:34 |
| Kilos | welcome mrs_fly | 17:35 |
| kbmonkey | octoquad, tell our bot Maaz who you are via 'maaz, i am <real name>' :) | 17:35 |
| octoquad | Maaz: I am Bruce Pieterse | 17:35 |
| Maaz | octoquad: Alrighty | 17:35 |
| nlsthzn | Maaz, You are Maaz | 17:35 |
| Maaz | nlsthzn: I already know stuff about You | 17:35 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos if you please, kind sir | 17:36 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz topic Review previous meeting minutes | 17:36 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Review previous meeting minutes | 17:36 |
| Kilos | yes? | 17:36 |
| superfly | Where are the minutes again? | 17:37 |
| kbmonkey | okay, software freedom day and the Oneiric Jam release parties, how did those turn out? | 17:37 |
| kbmonkey | the minutes for last meeting are found at: http://maaz.mene.za.net/logs/meetings/freenode-%23ubuntu-za/2011-08-15-17-35-56.html | 17:37 |
| kbmonkey | I'm sadly reporting that KZN did not have a release party | 17:38 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: release party? for what? | 17:38 |
| nlsthzn | Saw the photo's of the Jam held... | 17:38 |
| nlsthzn | Small but dedicated group :) | 17:39 |
| kbmonkey | mmm, I'm quoting the last minutes, perhaps its a typo and just meant to be "Global Jam" | 17:39 |
| superfly | Ya, tumbleweed blogged about it | 17:39 |
| nlsthzn | And Maia | 17:39 |
| kbmonkey | okay strike the release party. | 17:39 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: I think the release party is about organising it | 17:39 |
| kbmonkey | was that for 11.10? | 17:40 |
| Kilos | thats for ocelot right | 17:40 |
| superfly | yup | 17:40 |
| octoquad | kbmonkey: has there ever been a release party in KZN? | 17:41 |
| kbmonkey | not that I know of octoquad | 17:41 |
| kbmonkey | What else can we add here? sorry I'm a bit behind on the Ubuntu releases and their respective names at the moment | 17:42 |
| octoquad | you know, durban and probably kzn is slack when it comes to linux events in fact anything global | 17:42 |
| marcog | Maaz: I am Marco Gallotta | 17:42 |
| Maaz | marcog: Sure | 17:42 |
| Kilos | hi marcog | 17:42 |
| * marcog was at the global jam it went really well | 17:43 | |
| kbmonkey | that is good to hear marcog :) | 17:43 |
| octoquad | where can I read more about this global jam? | 17:43 |
| marcog | we need to gradually grow a couple more people attending | 17:43 |
| marcog | but the focus was great | 17:43 |
| kbmonkey | how many KZN residents do we have online tonight? | 17:43 |
| octoquad | 1 | 17:43 |
| superfly | http://tumbleweed.org.za/2011/09/05/ubuntu-global-jam-oneiric | 17:43 |
| marcog | octoquad: it happens every 6 months just before release | 17:43 |
| superfly | nuvolari: *poke* | 17:43 |
| kbmonkey | thanks superfly | 17:43 |
| octoquad | thanks superfly | 17:44 |
| Kilos | at the release parties cds are handed out right? | 17:44 |
| marcog | SFD in CT went well apparently, there were about 10 people | 17:44 |
| Kilos | is there ever any feedback from people that get copies? | 17:44 |
| marcog | plans for CT release party are a bit of a mess, due to the ACM and rugby being on that weekend | 17:44 |
| nlsthzn | Kilos, normally the CD's are a bit late (official) but there are always burnt ones | 17:45 |
| kbmonkey | Oneiric is set to release October 13 | 17:45 |
| marcog | Kilos: the 11.04 ones went out, i hope all people have them by now. 11.10 will come ~1 week after release | 17:45 |
| kbmonkey | okay this topic actually joins with the next agenda item too | 17:46 |
| Kilos | ok. i just want to know if any of the people that actually take copies ever give any feedback | 17:46 |
| kbmonkey | I had some interest for CD's this week and hope to get them out before I leave | 17:47 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz topic Ubuntu CD feedback | 17:47 |
| marcog | Kilos: most end up going to people who use ubuntu already or people we'll never see again | 17:47 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Ubuntu CD feedback | 17:47 |
| Kilos | might help to add a little note on how to get here after installing | 17:47 |
| superfly | Kilos: exactly what I was thinking | 17:47 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos that is a great idea. Add to that contact email to send feedback so we can post it on ubuntu-za.org | 17:48 |
| Kilos | the windows mentality can be a prob if noobs try the install and dont do an update and things arent so good | 17:48 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz idea include a note on how to submit feedback for Ubuntu CD's, and how to get to the IRC channel for #ubuntu-za | 17:48 |
| Maaz | Idea recorded: include a note on how to submit feedback for Ubuntu CD's, and how to get to the IRC channel for #ubuntu-za | 17:48 |
| * nlsthzn was at an installfest, 30 machines installed... with contact info given, response was zero... | 17:49 | |
| kbmonkey | wow nlsthzn, that sounds amazing. I don't think I have ever met more than 8 linux users / pc's at any given time. | 17:49 |
| octoquad | how are responses handled at the moment? web interface, e-mail, phone calls? | 17:49 |
| kbmonkey | currently we work through the Ubuntu-za mailing list octoquad | 17:50 |
| Kilos | i think also people should be informed that ubuntu is not a complete install till updated | 17:50 |
| kbmonkey | not everyone is likely on there, just like irc | 17:50 |
| nlsthzn | last off topic, kbmonkey was at a uni, in between classes we installed on the laptops those that wanted... | 17:51 |
| kbmonkey | any suggestions for other means of feedback? | 17:51 |
| octoquad | i'm trying to understand this feedback process, tell me more, how do you use this information? | 17:51 |
| superfly | octoquad: we don't use any information | 17:51 |
| marcog | kbmonkey: the fb group? | 17:51 |
| Kilos | octoquad, join the mailing lists | 17:51 |
| superfly | octoquad: feedback means that people who use the CDs let us know that they have used them, at a guess | 17:52 |
| marcog | kbmonkey: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntuza/ | 17:52 |
| kbmonkey | usually we just post the feedback and pictures (if any) on ubuntu-za.org octoquad. maia was the person who did most of our feedback reporting in the past | 17:52 |
| Kilos | and if they are having probs they should know how to get here | 17:52 |
| kbmonkey | we don't use it for anything other than reporting like news | 17:53 |
| octoquad | superfly: ok, so wouldn't it be easier to setup a web interface with simple questions and comments about how the installation went? | 17:53 |
| superfly | octoquad: where does that information go then? | 17:53 |
| superfly | octoquad: and what use would it be? | 17:54 |
| * nlsthzn has to get up in a few hours... sorry all, would have loved to stay a bit longer but this +2 time zone has caught up with me... night | 17:54 | |
| octoquad | superfly: it can be a simple counter then? with the source of the cd/ | 17:54 |
| Kilos | night nlsthzn ty for staying | 17:54 |
| kbmonkey | gn nlsthzn, go well | 17:54 |
| octoquad | Kilos: i'm on the the ubuntu-za mailing list already | 17:54 |
| octoquad | joing the facebook group now | 17:55 |
| Kilos | great octoquad we need to let first time installers know about our lists as well | 17:55 |
| kbmonkey | well if people don't email, they're less likely to fill in a web form. am I wrong saying this? | 17:55 |
| octoquad | sure, after they have given the source, then we can provide them with a thank you page and additional resources to get started | 17:56 |
| octoquad | mailing list, facebook page, wiki, ubuntu-za web site etc | 17:56 |
| superfly | octoquad: that's a good idea, but I think kbmonkey has a point | 17:56 |
| kbmonkey | octoquad if you like to draft the start of such a feedback form, like with google docs for draft work. we could then move it onto the ubuntu-za site if it seems viable :) | 17:57 |
| Kilos | basically i am saying we need to provide basic info on our local contact places | 17:58 |
| kbmonkey | personally I'm bad at making up such things :p | 17:58 |
| octoquad | kbmonkey: it all depends on how tech savvy theya re and how much time they want to invest, if they at least give a source you can have some sort of statistics as to how well the distribution is going | 17:58 |
| Kilos | the main mailing list takes days before you get an answer and there are just too many mails | 17:58 |
| octoquad | kbmonkey: I can do with PHP/MySQL/HTML5/CSS3 and i'll put it on my site for feedback? | 17:59 |
| superfly | octoquad: http://ubuntu-za.org/get-started | 17:59 |
| kbmonkey | this is an interesting point of talk, we can think this over some time | 17:59 |
| kbmonkey | that would be great octoquad | 17:59 |
| * superfly spits at PHP | 17:59 | |
| superfly | kbmonkey: ^^ we already have a page on the site | 17:59 |
| octoquad | superfly: I know I know, I'm learning python, really want to get into that full time | 17:59 |
| * Kilos laughs @ superfly | 18:00 | |
| kbmonkey | superfly is right, there is a "get started" page, and a get support and get involved. | 18:00 |
| kbmonkey | kilos do you mean we need to make people aware more of our contact and help methods | 18:01 |
| octoquad | ok, so can we add the source of the cd which is optional to fill in on that page? How many visits have you had to that page since inception? | 18:01 |
| Kilos | ye3ah but is that link given with each cd handed out | 18:01 |
| kbmonkey | I see | 18:01 |
| octoquad | Kilos: ditto | 18:01 |
| Kilos | yes kbmonkey | 18:01 |
| kbmonkey | no it is not given at the moment Kilos | 18:01 |
| Kilos | #ubuntu is murder for a noob | 18:02 |
| octoquad | who is supplying the cd's? | 18:02 |
| Kilos | the last lot maiaitoday sorted out | 18:02 |
| kbmonkey | Ubuntu ships the CD's to country contacts who then spread them to regional contacts | 18:02 |
| Kilos | sent to different peeps in different centres | 18:03 |
| kbmonkey | I have a couple left, I gave half to nuvolari and some folks in CT have too IIRC | 18:03 |
| kbmonkey | okay I will add a note to the CD's with Ubuntu-za's site | 18:04 |
| octoquad | it would be awesome if we could have QR stickers with the URL and a link underneath that QR sticker just in case they don't have a smartphone with a QR scanner, but cost is another factor | 18:04 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz idea Include notes with Ubuntu CD's that point to ubuntu-ZA's website for feedback and support contact | 18:04 |
| Maaz | Idea recorded: Include notes with Ubuntu CD's that point to ubuntu-ZA's website for feedback and support contact | 18:04 |
| kbmonkey | okay anything else to add before the next topic? :) | 18:05 |
| octoquad | um, under events, we have 1 January 1970 at 0:00 for three events on that page. that needs to get fixed | 18:05 |
| octoquad | Monthly Meeting | 18:05 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:05 |
| superfly | octoquad: yeah, I think it's a problem with the RSS library... I need to go fix it again -_- | 18:06 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz topic Ubuntu-za site spam comments and 1970 events | 18:06 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Ubuntu-za site spam comments and 1970 events | 18:06 |
| kbmonkey | there has been some spam getting through on the site comments, and event dates. | 18:07 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: I'll have a look at that next week - this week is too hectic | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | we know you are a very busy guy superfly :) | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | it's not mission critical | 18:07 |
| superfly | distracted is more the word... toddlers keep you "busy" | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | but if you would like to recruit some peeps here to help..? | 18:07 |
| octoquad | superfly: is there any way I can help you with this? | 18:08 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: yes | 18:08 |
| superfly | octoquad: do you have a user on the site? | 18:08 |
| superfly | octoquad: it's running Drupal 6 | 18:08 |
| kbmonkey | I recently had a quick jab at recaptcha, it could be an option for guest commenters | 18:08 |
| superfly | I thought I had recpatcha on there... | 18:09 |
| superfly | and I thought guest commenting was turned off | 18:09 |
| octoquad | superfly: I think so, give me a sec | 18:09 |
| kbmonkey | guest comments are off, my bad. but seems like some openId spammers are involved. eek that is scary stuff | 18:09 |
| superfly | maybe turn openid off? | 18:09 |
| kbmonkey | I use openId to log into ubuntu-za | 18:10 |
| octoquad | yeah i'm doing that now as well. but I got this: Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 45350912) (tried to allocate 1 bytes) in /var/www/www.ubuntu-za.org/sites/all/modules/gcal_events/simplepie.inc on line 13276 | 18:10 |
| octoquad | ok fixed now | 18:11 |
| kbmonkey | okay I don't want to let the meet run for too long, so octoquad if you and superfly like to have a jab at this in the next few weeks, I think all of Ubuntu-za would appreciate your efforts :) | 18:13 |
| octoquad | superfly: ok, my username is octoquad | 18:13 |
| superfly | octoquad: cool | 18:13 |
| octoquad | kbmonkey: sure no problem | 18:13 |
| kbmonkey | feel free to cc me too, I'll help out where I can | 18:13 |
| kbmonkey | okay last topic... | 18:14 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz topic Meeting chair needs a helping hand | 18:14 |
| Maaz | Current Topic: Meeting chair needs a helping hand | 18:14 |
| kbmonkey | I'm going to be without a desktop and a permanent residence during October. | 18:15 |
| kbmonkey | Likely I'll find opportunity to chair for October, but just in case a backup chair might be nice if I'm not online at the time | 18:16 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: if you can't find anyone else, I can do it... I just have a 2 year old distraction so I can't guarantee anything | 18:16 |
| kbmonkey | I'll address this in the mailing list too, just mentioning it here for the minutes :) | 18:16 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:16 |
| Kilos | go Zak | 18:17 |
| kbmonkey | noted and thanks superfly, maiatoday is also around | 18:17 |
| kbmonkey | worst case, we just reschedule | 18:18 |

| kbmonkey | I create a meeting on the loco.ubuntu.com site for us (http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-za/220/detail/) | 18:18 |

| octoquad | sorry could someone accept me lol | 18:20 |
| kbmonkey | but someone needs to give maaz permission to listen to you specifically | 18:20 |
| kbmonkey | okay, thanks everyone for being here. we appreciate it! | 18:21 |

| kbmonkey | we are too clever for our own good! | 18:30 |
| Kilos | thats why i say they need to know how to get here | 18:30 |
| Kilos | most peeps are scared to use the cli or even know what it is | 18:31 |
| Kilos | so some will need to know how to use synaptic | 18:31 |
| octoquad | kbmonkey: ask @joindiaspora on twitter. Tell them you still waiting for an invite | 18:31 |
