[09:53] <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
[09:54] <czajkowski> good way to see if yoru team is what you think it is
[09:56] <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
[09:57] <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
[09:58] <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
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <slashtom> i was always telling people that we don't really have a membership, just join it (i haven't signed up)
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <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
[10:06] <slashtom> i don't think i have signed up
[10:19] <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
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <Tribaal> there are too many of them
[10:52] <moylan> perhaps sending a reminder say 6-12 months after last activity to resubscribe.  won't happen if they are active?
[11:07] <slashtom> count the people attending ubuntu hours? ;)
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <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'
[11:10] <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
[11:11] <slashtom> people don't tend to go to coffee shops to watch the game, so it will be grand
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <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.
[11:16] <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 :)
[13:58] <BenChapman> Woo finally got unity working
[13:59] <slashtom> you would be the fist!
[13:59] <slashtom> first*
[14:12] <czajkowski> mail sent re cd allocation
[14:12] <czajkowski> ebel: ^^
[14:14] <ebel> ah yes
[14:14]  * ebel should get on that
[16:21]  * slashtom apologies for being argumentative
[16:22] <czajkowski> where?
[16:22] <slashtom> mailing list
[16:23] <delcoyote> I'm in
[16:24] <slashtom> grand
[16:25] <delcoyote> hi all by the way, I am always reading your posts/mails ,not very participative, but watching carefully everything
[16:30] <BenChapman> hello delcoyote: I'm not even subscribed to the mailing list xD
[16:30] <slashtom> you should subscribe
[16:31]  * slashtom has just called an Ubuntu Hour
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <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!!
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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?
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <delcoyote> slashtom, food and linux.... that is my interest and many more..
[16:40] <BenChapman> 2003/4 was mmy first
[16:40] <delcoyote> opensoftware...
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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/
[16:44] <delcoyote> I wouldn't mind to play around with servers also, and to practice some other stuff with them
[16:45] <delcoyote> bookmarking...
[16:45] <delcoyote> I can't commit but I am willing to start moving this year coming... ending
[16:46] <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?
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <BenChapman> though I'll be around here a fair bit
[16:48] <delcoyote> thanks a million.. I need time...
[16:49] <delcoyote> have also some hardware around to be fixed.. loads of things are around me... need 72 hours a day...
[16:50] <delcoyote> I think by Christmas I might have something moving...
