[09:53] aloha hows folks ? [09:53] I can defiantely see the advantages to seeing what some teams do and set an expirary on members on teams [09:53] as in you need to actually click a button to re add yourself after x amoutn of time [09:54] good way to see if yoru team is what you think it is [09:56] what are you talking about? [09:56] so people join a team [09:56] and may forget they've joined a team [09:56] thought process now is to set an expirary time for people [09:56] 1 year or 18 months or 2 years [09:57] after that time [09:57] people get sent a mail asking them do they want to renew membership [09:57] atm we've unlimtied expiration [09:57] i didn't think we maintain a membership list [09:57] * slashtom is confused [09:58] slashtom: on launchpad [09:58] not loco directory? [09:58] or the wiki [09:58] 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] or the website [09:58] locos have teams [10:00] 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 [10:01] i was always telling people that we don't really have a membership, just join it (i haven't signed up) [10:02] but we do [10:02] it's how a team is made up of members [10:02] :/ [10:02] problem is now we're seeing teams like ie with many members [10:03] who clearly are not active [10:03] so its not giving an accurate view of the team imo [10:03] does it matter? [10:03] yes [10:03] it does [10:06] i don't think i have signed up [10:19] then technically you are not on the team [10:19] it's just a way to see how many members there are [10:19] what size a team etc [10:44] there's something like this going on in the Swiss LoCo (the only one I can speak for) [10:44] we're weeding out inactive members [10:45] there are too many of them [10:52] perhaps sending a reminder say 6-12 months after last activity to resubscribe. won't happen if they are active? [11:07] count the people attending ubuntu hours? ;) [11:08] cruel! :-) [11:08] Tribaal: aye thats one loco alright [11:08] many locos are now doing this [11:08] one way to see what's an active team [11:08] and what's just numbers [11:09] i still need to find a venue, thinking saturday 22nd octover, in the early afternoon [11:09] in a coffee shop in town, would suit [11:09] 'damn that lousy smarch weather' [11:10] http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/fixtures/poolstage.html [11:10] keep an eye on that [11:10] to avoid clashing with games [11:10] just a bit of advice [11:10] meh [11:11] people don't tend to go to coffee shops to watch the game, so it will be grand [11:14] moylan: any ideas, i'm thinking about 2pm just after lunch when places will be a little quieter [11:14] the whole point being that the mid-week ubuntu hours held in a bar, are not working [11:15] so i would like to try something better, and something without alcohol involved [11:15] s/better/different/ [11:15] i have no idea what my schedule will be like then. kinda chaotic at the mo. though sat @ 2pm is worth a shot otherwise. [11:16] aye, somewhere in town with food, coffee and tables [11:16] wifi doesn't matter, most of us have androids and can tether :) [13:58] Woo finally got unity working [13:59] you would be the fist! [13:59] first* [14:12] mail sent re cd allocation [14:12] ebel: ^^ [14:14] ah yes [14:14] * ebel should get on that [16:21] * slashtom apologies for being argumentative [16:22] where? [16:22] mailing list [16:23] I'm in [16:24] grand [16:25] hi all by the way, I am always reading your posts/mails ,not very participative, but watching carefully everything [16:30] hello delcoyote: I'm not even subscribed to the mailing list xD [16:30] you should subscribe [16:31] * slashtom has just called an Ubuntu Hour [16:32] delcoyote: :) [16:32] 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] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ie [16:32] Ah, you see I use ubuntu daily :) [16:32] slashtom: just subbed there :P [16:33] aaaand confirmed [16:33] good good [16:33] czajkowski, long time no see... I'm planning to get a life.. sounds funny but is that way haha [16:33] gah, can't remember how to update default progs on ubntu [16:34] I was at Google offices a week ago, checking the food... :-) [16:34] "I propose Saturday 22 October, 2pm in a coffee shop in Dublin City Centre." - email regarding call to for an Ubuntu Hour [16:34] got it [16:34] delcoyote: It's amazing isn't it!! [16:35] Yes, shushi to order.. and loads of stuff, amazing true [16:35] I know the head chef, he is a great chef btw [16:35] I had pizza :) [16:35] He is one of the best pizza chefs [16:36] Pasta is he is speciality (off topic sorry!) :-) [16:36] delcoyote: what were you doing at google? [16:36] delcoyote: IRC always ends up off top [16:36] *topic [16:36] When the guy from the States comes over he is delighted with it [16:36] I was visiting my friend the head chef [16:37] slashtom, I am a chef, linux is my hobby wannabe [16:37] grand, food is a particular interest of mine [16:37] 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] slashtom, food as? [16:38] such as that i like to consume it several times a day :) [16:38] Same here.. I have breakfast twice, and almost twice everything :-) [16:38] Debian is my preferred distro, but I use Ubuntu on my work machine [16:38] delcoyote: Debian and Ubuntu are amazingly similar [16:39] delcoyote: The main differences are release cycles and front ends [16:39] yes, I been playing around with linux instalation since... Mandriva... year I cant even remember, but Ubuntu wasn't even there [16:39] 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 [16:40] slashtom, food and linux.... that is my interest and many more.. [16:40] 2003/4 was mmy first [16:40] opensoftware... [16:41] have three ,four servers running debian and ubuntu [16:41] awesome :) [16:41] delcoyote: if you like the food and open source, combine the too ;) [16:41] but I haven't got much clue of what i am doing yet [16:41] thats the idea slashtom [16:41] but I can't figure out DNS [16:41] delcoyote: What can't you figure out about it? [16:41] and I supose if I had someone close that I could peek into, it could be handy and quicker for me to learn [16:42] http://www.recipeswiki.org/wiki/Main_Page :P [16:42] where are you based delcoyote? [16:42] that's nothing slashtom I'm a bit more ambitious :-) [16:42] Dublin [16:42] I guess I will have to plan something and I already had some stuff in my head [16:43] i know, but valueable information - open source recipes :) [16:43] delcoyote: are you interested in some specific aspect of DNS? [16:43] are you up for the Ubuntu Hour [16:43] or maybe the Tog open social on saturday? [16:43] yes BenChapman everything about them.. must read O'reillys DNS book.. [16:43] since I'm in Dublin and are confident with DNS theory and practice [16:43] http://www.tog.ie/2011/09/open-social-october-1st/ [16:44] I wouldn't mind to play around with servers also, and to practice some other stuff with them [16:45] bookmarking... [16:45] I can't commit but I am willing to start moving this year coming... ending [16:46] Would like to go yes, but not sure about if I can or not [16:46] I do work some weekends [16:46] there is #tog here on freenode, for the dublin hackerspace [16:46] delcoyote: do you have your own DNS server? [16:47] no Ben not yet... but yes I do... as I do but is not setup yet [16:47] ah ok [16:47] :) [16:47] I supose if I get a standalaone machine it would make my head easier [16:47] I have a feww desktops around [16:47] cool cool, well if you run into problems ping, shout, email, IM: admin@dismiz.com [16:48] though I'll be around here a fair bit [16:48] thanks a million.. I need time... [16:49] have also some hardware around to be fixed.. loads of things are around me... need 72 hours a day... [16:50] I think by Christmas I might have something moving... [16:52] lol cool cool
