| toyowheelin | wow more people than I thought there would be | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Salt | party up in the hizzouse | 00:29 |
| toyowheelin | :0 | 00:29 |
| toyowheelin | so is this just for people running gnome ubuntu or is kubuntu fine as well? | 00:32 |
| toyowheelin | :P | 00:32 |
| Salt | oh, there's at least one k-head in here | 00:34 |
| * Salt peers in valorie's general direction | 00:34 | |
| toyowheelin | lol yeah I got tired of gnome and the new direction that ubuntu was going so I switched to kde | 00:35 |
| Salt | i actually just tried lubuntu out and have really enjoyed the direction | 00:36 |
| toyowheelin | which DE is that | 00:36 |
| Salt | lxde | 00:37 |
| Salt | it really reminds me of gnome2 | 00:37 |
| Salt | but way faster | 00:37 |
| toyowheelin | oh right... yeah I think I tried that one before as well | 00:37 |
| toyowheelin | dont remember why I didnt like it | 00:37 |
| toyowheelin | menu looks like old windows also | 00:38 |
| toyowheelin | lol | 00:38 |
| Salt | eh, it's better than flux | 00:39 |
| toyowheelin | yeah I am not really a fan of minimal desktops | 00:40 |
| toyowheelin | when you start getting into the box desktops they get too stripped down and I just feel like I need to do everything from a terminal | 00:40 |
| Salt | well that's part of the point now isn't it? | 00:41 |
| Salt | terminal makes things much quicker for many tasks :P | 00:41 |
| toyowheelin | eh I suppose | 00:41 |
| toyowheelin | brb | 00:41 |
| Salt | but yeah, i dig openbox when i want to go minimal, gives just enough to use gui stuff | 00:41 |
| toyowheelin | yeah when I am using a gui I usually dont really want to use a terminal | 00:48 |
| toyowheelin | but I always seem to find myself opening one as soon as things get weird | 00:49 |
| toyowheelin | are you running the beta release of 11.10? | 00:51 |
| aendruk | hello toyowheelin | 01:30 |
| toyowheelin | hi aendruk | 01:30 |
| aendruk | you on the mailing list? | 01:30 |
| toyowheelin | no I just found out there was a ubuntu community in WA | 01:31 |
| toyowheelin | lol | 01:31 |
| toyowheelin | havent dug that deep yet | 01:31 |
| toyowheelin | found the FB page | 01:31 |
| aendruk | we'll be amassing in person for the 11.10 release next week, and you're welcome to join | 01:32 |
| toyowheelin | hmm yeah I might try to make the drive down | 01:33 |
| toyowheelin | what kinda things usually happen at release parties? | 01:36 |
| aendruk | usually some combination of food and informal discussion, and few people might be getting help with installations | 01:40 |
| toyowheelin | ah | 01:40 |
| aendruk | it's really just an excuse to meet in person, since it's difficult to feel like we're a "community" just over irc/email | 01:42 |
| toyowheelin | yeah thats understandable | 01:42 |
| toyowheelin | kinda surprised that people still use mailing lists | 01:44 |
| aendruk | we have a fair amount of cross-membership with GSLUG, too. that's a much larger group, meets in seattle every month. meeting tomorrow at google fremont, i believe. | 01:44 |
| toyowheelin | yeah I used to attend TACLUG meetings back in college | 01:45 |
| toyowheelin | :D | 01:45 |
| aendruk | Salt: is asimov a uw server? | 01:48 |
| toyowheelin | oh yeah I was going to ask if anyone knew of any ubuntu repos that were local | 01:50 |
| toyowheelin | figure it might speed up package downloads slightly | 01:51 |
| aendruk | I don't know of anything beyond Ubuntu's official list, though there was something mentioned on the mailing list a year or two ago | 01:54 |
| toyowheelin | ah | 01:55 |
| toyowheelin | it would be awesome to get a comcast mirror :P | 01:55 |
| toyowheelin | more likely to get a .edu mirror like UW though | 01:56 |
| aendruk | people generally like OSUOSL, I believe | 01:58 |
| aendruk | not speedy, but there are supporters around | 01:58 |
| toyowheelin | oregon state? | 01:59 |
| aendruk | that's it | 02:01 |

| valorie | oh, I missed our newest visitor, boo | 02:38 |
| * valorie is blogging for Ada Lovelace Day | 02:39 | |
| toyowheelin | who me | 02:40 |
| toyowheelin | I am still here | 02:40 |
| valorie | hello! | 03:08 |
| toyowheelin | hi | 03:09 |
| toyowheelin | time to go, bbl | 03:19 |
| ievans3024 | hello toyo! welcome welcome. I too, use KDE because gnome has become this strange, ungainly monster | 04:58 |
| ievans3024 | for me, at least. | 04:58 |
| ievans3024 | while i'm on here, if anybody's watching: how exactly do mailing lists work? | 04:59 |
| ievans3024 | i want to participate, but i have no clue how to sign up, what to expect, or what is proper ML etiquette | 05:01 |
| valorie | I'm here | 05:40 |
| valorie | mail lists are my favorite; I got started online with them after real-time chatting | 05:40 |
| valorie | our launchpad page should have the link -- you can sign up on the webpage | 05:40 |
| valorie | they work by mail -- you send an email to the list address, and then it is distributed to all subscribers | 05:41 |
| valorie | if you reply to a post, please clip all but necessary verbiage | 05:41 |
| valorie | and top-posting makes some people angry | 05:42 |
| valorie | ievans3024: still here? | 05:43 |
| valorie | ^^^ | 05:43 |
| valorie | oh, also: most mls are archived, and searchable | 05:43 |
| ievans3024 | yeah sorry, watching deep space nine | 05:43 |
| valorie | so the archives are a wonderful resource | 05:44 |
| ievans3024 | thanks | 05:44 |
| valorie | but also you should think carefully about posting personal information, because it will be found | 05:44 |
| * valorie doesn't care, but some people do | 05:44 | |
