| czajkowski | aloha hows folks ? | 09:53 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | I can defiantely see the advantages to seeing what some teams do and set an expirary on members on teams | 09:53 |
| czajkowski | as in you need to actually click a button to re add yourself after x amoutn of time | 09:53 |
| czajkowski | good way to see if yoru team is what you think it is | 09:54 |
| slashtom | what are you talking about? | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | so people join a team | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | and may forget they've joined a team | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | thought process now is to set an expirary time for people | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | 1 year or 18 months or 2 years | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | after that time | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | people get sent a mail asking them do they want to renew membership | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | atm we've unlimtied expiration | 09:57 |
| slashtom | i didn't think we maintain a membership list | 09:57 |
| * slashtom is confused | 09:57 | |
| ebel | slashtom: on launchpad | 09:58 |
| slashtom | not loco directory? | 09:58 |
| slashtom | or the wiki | 09:58 |
| ebel | launchpad is a tool for developing software in a distributed way, it has source code hosting, bugs and also teams, so you can join a team to work on stuff. | 09:58 |
| slashtom | or the website | 09:58 |
| ebel | locos have teams | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: why do you always mention all the other tools, everyone signs up to a team via LP, thats how Ubuntu operates. it pulls in that intfo to the LD. wiki and website are seperate and have nothing to do with membership | 10:00 |
| slashtom | i was always telling people that we don't really have a membership, just join it (i haven't signed up) | 10:01 |
| czajkowski | but we do | 10:02 |
| czajkowski | it's how a team is made up of members | 10:02 |
| czajkowski | :/ | 10:02 |
| czajkowski | problem is now we're seeing teams like ie with many members | 10:02 |
| czajkowski | who clearly are not active | 10:03 |
| czajkowski | so its not giving an accurate view of the team imo | 10:03 |
| slashtom | does it matter? | 10:03 |
| czajkowski | yes | 10:03 |
| czajkowski | it does | 10:03 |
| slashtom | i don't think i have signed up | 10:06 |
| czajkowski | then technically you are not on the team | 10:19 |
| czajkowski | it's just a way to see how many members there are | 10:19 |
| czajkowski | what size a team etc | 10:19 |
| Tribaal | there's something like this going on in the Swiss LoCo (the only one I can speak for) | 10:44 |
| Tribaal | we're weeding out inactive members | 10:44 |
| Tribaal | there are too many of them | 10:45 |
| moylan | perhaps sending a reminder say 6-12 months after last activity to resubscribe. won't happen if they are active? | 10:52 |
| slashtom | count the people attending ubuntu hours? ;) | 11:07 |
| moylan | cruel! :-) | 11:08 |
| czajkowski | Tribaal: aye thats one loco alright | 11:08 |
| czajkowski | many locos are now doing this | 11:08 |
| czajkowski | one way to see what's an active team | 11:08 |
| czajkowski | and what's just numbers | 11:08 |
| slashtom | i still need to find a venue, thinking saturday 22nd octover, in the early afternoon | 11:09 |
| slashtom | in a coffee shop in town, would suit | 11:09 |
| moylan | 'damn that lousy smarch weather' | 11:09 |
| czajkowski | http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/fixtures/poolstage.html | 11:10 |
| czajkowski | keep an eye on that | 11:10 |
| czajkowski | to avoid clashing with games | 11:10 |
| czajkowski | just a bit of advice | 11:10 |
| slashtom | meh | 11:10 |
| slashtom | people don't tend to go to coffee shops to watch the game, so it will be grand | 11:11 |
| slashtom | moylan: any ideas, i'm thinking about 2pm just after lunch when places will be a little quieter | 11:14 |
| slashtom | the whole point being that the mid-week ubuntu hours held in a bar, are not working | 11:14 |
| slashtom | so i would like to try something better, and something without alcohol involved | 11:15 |
| slashtom | s/better/different/ | 11:15 |
| moylan | i have no idea what my schedule will be like then. kinda chaotic at the mo. though sat @ 2pm is worth a shot otherwise. | 11:15 |
| slashtom | aye, somewhere in town with food, coffee and tables | 11:16 |
| slashtom | wifi doesn't matter, most of us have androids and can tether :) | 11:16 |
| BenChapman | Woo finally got unity working | 13:58 |
| slashtom | you would be the fist! | 13:59 |
| slashtom | first* | 13:59 |
| czajkowski | mail sent re cd allocation | 14:12 |
| czajkowski | ebel: ^^ | 14:12 |
| ebel | ah yes | 14:14 |
| * ebel should get on that | 14:14 | |
| * slashtom apologies for being argumentative | 16:21 | |
| czajkowski | where? | 16:22 |
| slashtom | mailing list | 16:22 |
| delcoyote | I'm in | 16:23 |
| slashtom | grand | 16:24 |
| delcoyote | hi all by the way, I am always reading your posts/mails ,not very participative, but watching carefully everything | 16:25 |
| BenChapman | hello delcoyote: I'm not even subscribed to the mailing list xD | 16:30 |
| slashtom | you should subscribe | 16:30 |
| * slashtom has just called an Ubuntu Hour | 16:31 | |
| czajkowski | delcoyote: :) | 16:32 |
| delcoyote | Hi BenChapman I'm not even doing IT as a job/study, but willing to get closer and closer. I'm stuck with my knowledge. I learn if I see an example, and I can't or don't have access to any examples, physical examples.. hard to explain... | 16:32 |
| slashtom | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ie | 16:32 |
| BenChapman | Ah, you see I use ubuntu daily :) | 16:32 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: just subbed there :P | 16:32 |
| BenChapman | aaaand confirmed | 16:33 |
| slashtom | good good | 16:33 |
| delcoyote | czajkowski, long time no see... I'm planning to get a life.. sounds funny but is that way haha | 16:33 |
| BenChapman | gah, can't remember how to update default progs on ubntu | 16:33 |
| delcoyote | I was at Google offices a week ago, checking the food... :-) | 16:34 |
| slashtom | "I propose Saturday 22 October, 2pm in a coffee shop in Dublin City Centre." - email regarding call to for an Ubuntu Hour | 16:34 |
| BenChapman | got it | 16:34 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: It's amazing isn't it!! | 16:34 |
| delcoyote | Yes, shushi to order.. and loads of stuff, amazing true | 16:35 |
| delcoyote | I know the head chef, he is a great chef btw | 16:35 |
| BenChapman | I had pizza :) | 16:35 |
| delcoyote | He is one of the best pizza chefs | 16:35 |
| delcoyote | Pasta is he is speciality (off topic sorry!) :-) | 16:36 |
| slashtom | delcoyote: what were you doing at google? | 16:36 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: IRC always ends up off top | 16:36 |
| BenChapman | *topic | 16:36 |
| delcoyote | When the guy from the States comes over he is delighted with it | 16:36 |
| delcoyote | I was visiting my friend the head chef | 16:36 |
| delcoyote | slashtom, I am a chef, linux is my hobby wannabe | 16:37 |
| slashtom | grand, food is a particular interest of mine | 16:37 |
| delcoyote | Don't want to get stuck only with Ubuntu, I am looking also at openbsd, and other flavours, Debian probably will be my main learning key point | 16:37 |
| delcoyote | slashtom, food as? | 16:37 |
| slashtom | such as that i like to consume it several times a day :) | 16:38 |
| delcoyote | Same here.. I have breakfast twice, and almost twice everything :-) | 16:38 |
| slashtom | Debian is my preferred distro, but I use Ubuntu on my work machine | 16:38 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: Debian and Ubuntu are amazingly similar | 16:38 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: The main differences are release cycles and front ends | 16:39 |
| delcoyote | yes, I been playing around with linux instalation since... Mandriva... year I cant even remember, but Ubuntu wasn't even there | 16:39 |
| delcoyote | I still have the laptop I was messing with, and now has openbsd on it, and has been switched off... maybe 1-2 years now | 16:39 |
| delcoyote | slashtom, food and linux.... that is my interest and many more.. | 16:40 |
| BenChapman | 2003/4 was mmy first | 16:40 |
| delcoyote | opensoftware... | 16:40 |
| delcoyote | have three ,four servers running debian and ubuntu | 16:41 |
| BenChapman | awesome :) | 16:41 |
| slashtom | delcoyote: if you like the food and open source, combine the too ;) | 16:41 |
| delcoyote | but I haven't got much clue of what i am doing yet | 16:41 |
| delcoyote | thats the idea slashtom | 16:41 |
| delcoyote | but I can't figure out DNS | 16:41 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: What can't you figure out about it? | 16:41 |
| delcoyote | and I supose if I had someone close that I could peek into, it could be handy and quicker for me to learn | 16:41 |
| slashtom | http://www.recipeswiki.org/wiki/Main_Page :P | 16:42 |
| slashtom | where are you based delcoyote? | 16:42 |
| delcoyote | that's nothing slashtom I'm a bit more ambitious :-) | 16:42 |
| delcoyote | Dublin | 16:42 |
| delcoyote | I guess I will have to plan something and I already had some stuff in my head | 16:42 |
| slashtom | i know, but valueable information - open source recipes :) | 16:43 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: are you interested in some specific aspect of DNS? | 16:43 |
| slashtom | are you up for the Ubuntu Hour | 16:43 |
| slashtom | or maybe the Tog open social on saturday? | 16:43 |
| delcoyote | yes BenChapman everything about them.. must read O'reillys DNS book.. | 16:43 |
| BenChapman | since I'm in Dublin and are confident with DNS theory and practice | 16:43 |
| slashtom | http://www.tog.ie/2011/09/open-social-october-1st/ | 16:43 |
| delcoyote | I wouldn't mind to play around with servers also, and to practice some other stuff with them | 16:44 |
| delcoyote | bookmarking... | 16:45 |
| delcoyote | I can't commit but I am willing to start moving this year coming... ending | 16:45 |
| delcoyote | Would like to go yes, but not sure about if I can or not | 16:46 |
| delcoyote | I do work some weekends | 16:46 |
| slashtom | there is #tog here on freenode, for the dublin hackerspace | 16:46 |
| BenChapman | delcoyote: do you have your own DNS server? | 16:46 |
| delcoyote | no Ben not yet... but yes I do... as I do but is not setup yet | 16:47 |
| BenChapman | ah ok | 16:47 |
| BenChapman | :) | 16:47 |
| delcoyote | I supose if I get a standalaone machine it would make my head easier | 16:47 |
| delcoyote | I have a feww desktops around | 16:47 |
| BenChapman | cool cool, well if you run into problems ping, shout, email, IM: admin@dismiz.com | 16:47 |
