| jeffrash | so, I've been thinking of holding some classes on the ubuntu desktop as a faster, virus free alternative to Windows | 15:26 |
|---|---|---|
| jeffrash | what do you guys think about that? | 15:26 |
| akgraner | jeffrash, where at? | 15:36 |
| jeffrash | Concord NC | 15:37 |
| akgraner | That would be be cool .. | 15:37 |
| akgraner | holstein, guess what? | 15:37 |
| jeffrash | There's a place here called Right-Click. | 15:38 |
| akgraner | What do you need? I'm working a 6 week class for 8th graders - it's their computer class - using Natty and Dell netbooks | 15:38 |
| jeffrash | They're an Internet cafe and have a training space | 15:38 |
| akgraner | GREAT! | 15:39 |
| akgraner | Is there anything you need from the team | 15:39 |
| akgraner | also do you know about Open Week? | 15:39 |
| akgraner | ok since holstein isn't guessing I'll just tell you all - I'm on the Community Council now :-) I am so excited | 15:40 |
| holstein | akgraner: cool | 15:40 |
| holstein | i just need to wipe windows here and all would be good ;) | 15:40 |
| akgraner | jeffrash, we can add it to the monthly reports just let us know when you kick it off | 15:40 |
| jeffrash | ok | 15:41 |
| jeffrash | akgraner, very cool. What does that mean? | 15:41 |
| jeffrash | :) | 15:41 |
| akgraner | but I think it's a great idea... | 15:41 |
| akgraner | jeffrash, honestly I am not sure what that means going forward other than helping with the overall governance of the Ubuntu Community for 2 years | 15:42 |
| akgraner | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil | 15:42 |
| jeffrash | do you guys feel ubuntu is getting more or less compatible with your hardware? | 17:44 |
| akgraner | more... | 17:59 |
| akgraner | have you seen the hardware cert page and the Ubuntu Friendly Program (in beta now) - if not I can get you the links | 17:59 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, did you see - I'm on the CC now :-) | 17:59 |
| internalkernel | akgraner: congrats! I just saw that when I checked out G+ for the first time in weeks... | 18:02 |
| internalkernel | you are one of 3 ladies on the CC, right? | 18:02 |
| akgraner | yeppers :-) | 18:02 |
| akgraner | 4 years ago no women, 2 years ago only 1 now we have 3 | 18:02 |
| akgraner | I think that says a lot for our community! :-) | 18:03 |
| internalkernel | nice... Pete's got his work cut out for him... lol... I like strong ladies too :) | 18:03 |
| akgraner | hehe...you are funny | 18:03 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, holstein I can't make it tomorrow - Becca has a Band competition in Chesnee, SC | 18:04 |
| internalkernel | I try... | 18:04 |
| internalkernel | I saw some chatter about Sat - release party? | 18:04 |
| internalkernel | I have to drive to Chapel Hill tomorrow, and I leave for SF next week... | 18:04 |
| akgraner | and since I am one of the Band Booster Board Members - I gotta go... | 18:04 |
| akgraner | try saying that 2 times fast | 18:06 |
| internalkernel | BBBM | 18:06 |
| internalkernel | BBBM | 18:06 |
| internalkernel | there... | 18:06 |
| internalkernel | wasn't so bad | 18:06 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, is your schedule picking up? | 18:06 |
| akgraner | haha | 18:06 |
| internalkernel | actually, it's starting to slow down... I just got home from San Antonio last night... after SF Ill be around for a bit | 18:07 |
| akgraner | ahh ok | 18:07 |
| akgraner | so slow til Feb? | 18:07 |
| internalkernel | pretty much, but my consulting has been picking up... | 18:08 |
| internalkernel | but that's easy for me to schedule since I can do it from home | 18:09 |
| akgraner | oh cool | 18:10 |
| akgraner | that's exciting for you - happy to hear it | 18:10 |
| internalkernel | thanks... I've been working on building that for a while now... | 18:11 |
| akgraner | yeah - I just updated my resume - and sending it out | 18:12 |
| internalkernel | well, you've got your name on a several large ticket items... aside from the CC, there's the Book and the mag you write for... | 18:13 |
| internalkernel | that's gotta be worth something on a resume | 18:13 |
| akgraner | totally - I hope | 18:14 |
| akgraner | we'll start working on the 7th edition of the book after the 12.04 beta 1 | 18:14 |
| akgraner | before that - too many things change | 18:14 |
| internalkernel | nice... that book is a big help to beginners... | 18:16 |
| internalkernel | I haven't tried oneiric again... not since the last #failure | 18:16 |
| internalkernel | Im actually running Mint at the moment since they kept Gnome2 and a working version of Compiz... | 18:17 |
| internalkernel | Ill try it again in a month or two... I want the dust to settle... but for the record, this is the _first_ time I have been unable to use the beta... | 18:18 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, lubuntu is cool too | 18:19 |
| internalkernel | lol... that was my first fallback... | 18:20 |
| internalkernel | The installer died due to some 2 year old bug... | 18:20 |
| internalkernel | it was awesome... | 18:20 |
| internalkernel | I had to install Xubuntu, then Lubuntu on top of it... but, the bottom line, they were all broken... | 18:20 |
| internalkernel | It was fine... if you didn't change anything... used the defaults | 18:21 |
| akgraner | ahh ok | 18:21 |
| internalkernel | but when I install CCSM to configure compiz... it would break compiz completely... | 18:21 |
| akgraner | yeah you mentioned that | 18:21 |
| internalkernel | do you know what happens when you log in and compiz is broken? | 18:21 |
| internalkernel | nothing... absolutely... nothing... it's awesome. | 18:21 |
| akgraner | haha | 18:21 |
| internalkernel | I like so much of the new design, and it felt like they cleaned up the interface quite a bit... | 18:22 |
| internalkernel | even though Nautilus is now as ugly as SquirrelMail | 18:22 |
| internalkernel | but, I need _my_ tweaks... it's my methodology that makes my system productive... | 18:23 |
| internalkernel | for me of course... | 18:23 |
| akgraner | I know when I installed the beta I had to fix my desktop | 18:23 |
| internalkernel | I expect that from a beta... | 18:23 |
| akgraner | I had to run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ | 18:24 |
| akgraner | that fixed a lot of crap for me | 18:24 |
| internalkernel | I was prepared for some brokenness... some gnashing of teeth... but three days later - when I boot my system up and nothing works again... I'm done. | 18:24 |
| akgraner | totally | 18:24 |
| internalkernel | yeah... you know me, not only am I hard to please, I'm also very particular... | 18:24 |
| akgraner | I am learning how to set up my own server at UDS - jcastro is going to show me | 18:24 |
| internalkernel | nice! | 18:25 |
| internalkernel | can I get in on that class? :D | 18:25 |
| akgraner | I tried out Ubuntu in the Cloud - their wordpress instance on Amazon | 18:25 |
| internalkernel | I saw that post too... | 18:25 |
| akgraner | and jcastro was like dude I can show you how to do that with bare metal | 18:25 |
| internalkernel | you might want to check out ownCloud | 18:25 |
| internalkernel | lol | 18:25 |
| internalkernel | ownCloud is really effin cool and the project has a lot of activity going on right now | 18:25 |
| akgraner | I need to learn more...so I understand what the heck I am doing | 18:26 |
| internalkernel | its like... Ubuntu One but you can install it on your own server | 18:26 |
| internalkernel | haha... learn to love the terminal! | 18:26 |
| internalkernel | Hey I gotta run... I need to kill the power in the house for a bit... :/ | 18:27 |
| akgraner | laters | 18:27 |
