[00:47] <Cheesehead> NRWlion asked a great question. I prefer to leave the theoretical background to the trainers. Feedback will tell us what's effective.
[00:54] <Cheesehead> For example, I signed up to facilitate 'better mentoring.' I plan to make it a workshop - bring stories and questions to the table. Much of the theoretcial background is adapted from mentoring.org; adapted because the theory is sound (used it) but the situations are dissimilar.
[05:29] <YoBoY> hello leaders
[05:30] <DarkwingDuck> greetings
[06:28] <NRWlion> hi there
[06:32] <YoBoY> 73 emails sent this morning in 30 minutes :D
[06:32] <NRWlion> sorry?#
[06:34] <YoBoY> forget, it's just I'm proud of that ^^"
[06:34] <knome> i wouldn't be proud of being a spammer
[06:34]  * knome hides
[06:34] <YoBoY> lol
[06:35] <YoBoY> You should organise events, it's a necessity to become a spammer for that
[06:36] <knome> ;)
[06:54] <YoBoY> there is a place with a list of usefull tools for leaders ? for example I use thunderbird+mail merge to spam people with personalised mails. And what the other leaders use to keep contact informations, goodies stock and position, accounting, ...
[07:00] <valorie> I just started using Tbird, and so far, am still missing gmail on the web
[07:00] <valorie> so you should blog about power using it -- in english
[07:01] <YoBoY> it's not the same for sure, and the conversation view in gmail is powerfull
[07:01] <valorie> I miss the search
[07:02] <valorie> maybe it just takes time to get used to
[07:02] <valorie> also, it seems to copy mail to folders rather than move to them
[07:02] <valorie> so inbox has everything!
[07:02] <YoBoY> I use both, TB for every mail I write because it respect the standards and gmail to filter/tag/search and sometimes read
[07:02] <valorie> and when I delete it there, it's still in the folder
[07:03] <valorie> I need the pgp capability for the CWG I do for KDE
[07:03] <valorie> firepgp plugin died for gmail
[07:03] <valorie> :(
[07:04] <valorie> on the upside, dimap works well
[07:07] <DarkwingDuck> I'll take KMail over TBird
[07:08] <valorie> so would I if I could get it to work
[07:09] <DarkwingDuck> What's not working on it?
[07:09] <valorie> brand new install on my netbook on 11.10 -- won't even start
[07:09] <valorie> :(
[07:09] <DarkwingDuck> Really?
[07:09] <valorie> maybe it will be better in the actual release
[07:09] <DarkwingDuck> :( Works just fine on my lappy
[07:09] <valorie> I ran the wizard which crashed
[07:09] <valorie> and then it wouldn't start up again
[07:09] <valorie> won't even start anymore
[07:10] <DarkwingDuck> you tag it for reinstall?
[07:10] <valorie> I purged and reinstalled, yes
[07:10] <valorie> I'll try again next week
[07:10] <DarkwingDuck> :(:(
[07:10] <valorie> believe me, i loved kmail better than anything for so many years
[07:11] <DarkwingDuck> You're not going to make it to UDS are you?
[07:11] <valorie> then it refused to send mail anymore
[07:11]  * valorie isn't going to UDS
[07:11] <valorie> :(
[07:11] <YoBoY> :'(
[07:11] <DarkwingDuck> Bugger
[07:11] <valorie> yeah
[07:11] <DarkwingDuck> I need to find out who from this group is going.
[07:11] <YoBoY> I don't know yet, but my passport will be ready next week ^^"
[07:12] <valorie> it's just so close to the end of the Doc Camp and Mentor Summit
[07:12] <valorie> I would only have 4 days at home to recover
[07:12] <DarkwingDuck> I'm really excited about going again.
[07:12] <valorie> I know that ain't gonna be enough
[07:12] <DarkwingDuck> YoBoY: ++
[07:12] <valorie> I wish it was one week later -- I soooooo regret missing it
[07:12] <DarkwingDuck> Just checking emails before bed. My Aunt and Cousin are landing in 8 hours.
[07:13] <valorie> I didn't get sponsored, but i would pay my own way
[07:13] <valorie> if it was just one more week later
[07:13] <DarkwingDuck> I can't afford to do that...
[07:13]  * DarkwingDuck is *still* unemployed
[07:14] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to DarkwingDuck
