Faqtotumthat hack is only for the 32bit edition01:30

DarkwingAwesome03:06
DarkwingCA team game night discussion03:06
DarkwingI think this was yours iheartubuntu?03:06
iheartubuntuyes03:07
iheartubuntustill working on game night ideas03:07
DarkwingTake it away :)03:07
iheartubuntuare there any particular games people are interested in? board games? first person shooters?03:07
iheartubuntuim mainly concerned with including everyone and gals my not be into FPS03:07
iheartubuntuplus they could be heavy on graphics, eliminating some people from playing03:08
iheartubuntuso finding a multiplayer game for all is the trick03:08
DarkwingI used to play parcheesi with another group quite a bit.03:08
iheartubuntuwhat does anyone have to say about online games from a website? there are many games in the google chrome app store03:09
iheartubuntu(and most can be played in firefox too)03:09
iheartubuntuparcheesi is fun. i was even considering bingo03:09
iheartubuntudoes it matter if the game is on a website or must it be in the reps?03:10
akkI don't know what's available in multiplayer games, so it's hard to comment. i like word/math/logic games.03:10
jtatumi'd like to try pioneers03:10
jtatum(settlers of catan clone)03:10
iheartubuntuis that a turn based strategy?03:10
iheartubuntuakk i will take that into consideration03:11
Darkwingscrabble tourny :D03:11
jtatumiheartubuntu: yeah03:11
iheartubuntui think scrabble would be great03:11
iheartubuntuwhat about card games?03:12
akkThat would be fun ... though admittedly it would be awfully easy to cheat, if we're all sitting at home with /usr/share/dict/words right there. :)03:12
akk(re scrabble, not cards)03:12
Darkwingonline spades is always good... or Gim Rummy.03:12
iheartubuntuok. i'll see what i can find03:13
akkpoker, playing for stakes of ubuntu CDs and stickers :)03:13
DarkwingWhat were you thinking on times?03:14
Darkwingweekends? nights?03:14
iheartubuntui was thinking after each team meeting03:14
iheartubuntusince most of us are around03:14
DarkwingThat would actually be really cool.03:14
akkThat's a good idea ... might even draw more people to the meetings.03:15
iheartubuntusunday nights are great. im usually already home (especially when its freezing out)03:15
iheartubuntuok im done with this unless anyone wants to add more.03:16
iheartubuntui'll have different game options next meeting that ive researched03:16
DarkwingSweet!03:16
iheartubuntuand we can all pick . maybe have a few we can rotate03:16
DarkwingOkay, Scale10x.03:16
iheartubuntui dont want to be losing at scrabble every time03:16
iheartubuntu:)03:17
DarkwingWith the holidays coming and scale being in January it will come fast.03:17
iheartubuntuwe did awesome this year at SCaLE9x03:17
DarkwingWe will be having a booth and thanks to nhaines we will also have UbuCon again.03:17
iheartubuntueveryone I met was amazing and i encourage all who have not yet been to SCaLE to go03:17
iheartubuntuhttp://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x03:18
iheartubuntuand if you can, to help out at the Ubuntu booth too03:18
DarkwingI talked to canonical this last week and it looks like we will be able to collect a bunch more pressed CDs to hand out as well.03:18
iheartubuntuOh great03:19
iheartubuntuIs there anything new were planning for 10x compared to 9x?03:19
DarkwingThis is the first part of planning on this end.03:19
epsWhen is SCALE 10X? I see some things that say Januaru and others that say February03:20
iheartubuntuJanuary 20-2203:20
epsSorry, January03:20
epsSo, Fedora Activity Day is not in February then?03:20
DarkwingNo. Scale is the date that iheartubuntu gave.03:20
iheartubuntuits all in the link above03:21
DarkwingDoes anyone have any ideas that they would like to see done at Scale seeing that it's the 10 anni?03:21
iheartubuntudo we get a bigger booth or anything?03:22
iheartubuntuwill canonical be there?03:22
iheartubuntuwill canonical provide some professional ubuntu banners or anything? i liked those orange ones at UDS i saw in the pics03:22
epsHmm. I wonder if we can get ten bowling pins that look like Tux?03:22
DarkwingI don't think that there will be a canonical booth. I think Jono and maybe Jorge Casto will be there.03:22
Darkwingand a couple of Canonical Server/Cloud/Kernel guys03:24
DarkwingWe have a HUGE Ubuntu banner that Canonical sent and table cloths.03:24
iheartubuntubeautiful03:24
DarkwingI like the bowling pins idea.03:25
Darkwingthat would be pretty cool.03:25
DarkwingI have some books to give away. "Ubuntu for the non geek" I think I have 3 or 4 copies03:25
iheartubuntuim just thinking in my mind how we can engage people better03:25
DarkwingSo, we can do some sort of drawings/contest03:26
philipballewWe need to get these people to join the loco as well03:26
epsAnd a purple, uh, aubergine bowling ball. ;-)03:26
DarkwingLOL!03:26
iheartubuntui like that idea phil03:26
DarkwingJust keep in mind that Scale is coming up and be thinking about volunteering for the booth and/or any other ideas you want to do while there.03:27
DarkwingAlso, as many of you know there was a change in leadership for the team.03:28
DarkwingWe had all three spots become open and there were three people who ran.03:28
iheartubuntuwin by default :)03:28
Darkwingpleia2, myself and jtatum03:29
iheartubuntucongrats to all03:29
DarkwingSo, pleia2 and I are standing a second term and welcome in jtatum to the team!03:29
* jtatum bows03:29
akkAn excellent team.03:30
DarkwingDoes anyone else have anything else? announcements? gripes?03:30
iheartubuntuim good03:30
DarkwingUDS was, as always, busy and fun.03:31
iheartubuntuohh yes please tell!03:31
DarkwingThankfully there was no shocking changes at the keynote.03:31
philipballew^ agrees03:31
DarkwingThere is a huge push toward ARM03:32
Darkwingand with the announcement of the ARM 64bit prototype being demoed... This is a good thing.03:32
DarkwingAlso, Ubuntu heading toward devices. Tablets, phones, TVs, seems to be another point of intrest.03:33
DarkwingAnyone else?03:33
jtatumdid you wind up with a bunch of action items, Darkwing? :)03:33
Darkwingjtatum: Yeah, mostly to do with being on the Kubuntu Counil. LOL03:34
jtatumfun. good luck :)03:34
DarkwingAlways fun :)03:34
iheartubuntuis there a xubuntu council? im loving the new xubuntu03:35
DarkwingYou would have to talk to pleia2 about that.03:35
DarkwingI'm not sure.03:35
DarkwingOkay, if there is nothing else, thanks for coming out!03:36
DarkwingDoes anyone in here use Cone email?03:36
jtatumthanks for chairing, Darkwing03:36
Darkwing:) Cheers!03:36
iheartubuntucone?03:37
iheartubuntuwhats cone03:37
DarkwingIt's a CLI email client03:37
akkI'd never heard of cone before. Is it good?03:38
philipballewIve used pine03:38
akkI use mutt, but there are some frustrating things about it and sometimes I'd like to find something else.03:39
DarkwingIt's great except, I am having issues finding out how to set the default "From" header. I can edit it on the fly when I need to03:39
DarkwingI like cone much better then mutt. simplier to setup my IMAP with like 30 folders03:39
DarkwingAKA it auto setup03:39
akkYeah, mutt's imap handling isn't very good.03:40
iheartubuntuhey i got my hands on an old 1997 mac powerbook 3400c... any recommendations for what i can install on it?03:40
akkI mostly use fetchmail and local folders, but I have used imap at times.03:40
Darkwingand it handles Certs and encryption very nicely03:40
DarkwingAnd SSL for SMTP and IMAPS03:41
akkMy biggest mutt frustration is the whole "which folders have new mail" thing, the way it's the only program in all of linux that needs atime.03:41
akkyeah, ssl/smtp would be nice -- I have to use msmtp since mutt doesn't do that.03:42
Darkwingakk: Try Cone, I think you'll like it.03:42
akkThanks, will try it.03:42
Darkwingapt-get install cone03:42
philipballewDarkwing, I have a good idea for the UH that I was gonna fly by you03:43
DarkwingGo for it03:43
philipballewMovie night with Linux and computer themed movies03:43
iheartubuntuare there any linux movies?03:44
philipballewWe can use the coffee shop and attract people say a Saturday or at the regularly scheduled time03:44
philipballewyes, I located several linux movies03:45
DarkwingLinux movies not named Hackers? :P:P03:46
Darkwingand/or Tron?03:46
philipballewexactly!03:46
duke_timTron legacy has a linux terminal in the movie does that count?03:46
Darkwing:D03:47
philipballewwhat do you think Darkwing ?03:47
iheartubuntuthere was a good computer hacker sorta movie in the early 90s.. forgot the name. i think robert redford was in it03:47
akkLa Femme Nikita has an episode where the computer guy uses ps and kill to stop the bad guys from firing missiles. :)03:48
akkiheartubuntu: Sneakers, I think?03:48
Darkwingphilipballew: I like the idea but, it would have to be at someones house and very personal to be legal.03:48
iheartubuntuohh that sounds like what i was thinking. i dont remember if it was computers tho03:48
philipballewthe coffee shop we use has a protector and screen.03:48
iheartubuntusneakers = "lighthearted thriller about computers and cryptography"03:49
philipballewI can reserve a time slot03:49
jtatumsneakers was awesome :)03:50
iheartubuntui havent seen it in years03:50
iheartubuntui remember buying the vhs from columbia house for 1 penny or something03:51
Darkwingphilipballew: Yes, but unless we had permissions by the film people, we cannot legally show a flim in public03:51
philipballewuh, thats right. I'll look into that.03:52
iheartubuntui think you can if its not for money03:52
iheartubuntufair use or something?03:52
iheartubuntuchurches do it alllll the time03:53
iheartubuntueven my city does it03:53
philipballewalso, I was going to go around town and put up flayers everywhere. Several hundred by Christmas03:53
philipballewAuburn does as well03:53
Darkwing:)03:53
iheartubuntukeeping someone for two hours might be tricky though03:53
DarkwingAwesome. I'll be back in a few. Going to shutdown quassel-core and switch back to irssi03:54
Darkwinghmmz... Maybe not... QuasselDroid is nice.04:03
akkSo Darkwing, do you know of a way to get cone not to change the background color? This black background stuff is driving me crazy before I even manage to configure a mail account.04:31
DarkwingXD akk not really sure :(04:32
Darkwingakk: http://www.courier-mta.org/cone/cone00index.html04:32
akkcone turns out to be not a very googlable name, especially when googling for info about color (cones being the cells in the retina that let us see colors ...)04:33
DarkwingTONS of options04:33
DarkwingYeah... Googleing cone is kinda harsh04:33
akkyeah, I've been trying to look through the docs, but http://www.courier-mta.org/cone/cone05setup.html just says "The next group of fields set the shown colors for other display elements." ... not very illuminating.04:33
akkPart of the point of using a text-mode mailer, to me, is that I can use my already nicely configured terminal fonts/colors.04:34
akkAlways seems weird when text-mode programs then disallow that.04:34
nhainesakgraner: what background color do you prefer?06:35
pleia2there is no xubuntu council, just an xubuntu project lead08:16
pleia2xubuntu is a very small team, if there was a council it would be made up of about half the active members ;)08:16
pleia2we're still considering it for when the project grows though08:16
* pleia2 sleep &08:17
philipballewthere is a community head though08:20
akgranernhaines, for?15:01
nhainesakgraner: for mistells!  Sorry, akk was saying she was fighting some console mail app or other over the colors.16:45
nhainesHmm, I should probably investigate alpine again.  (pine was the first program I used under Linux.)16:45
akkd uses pine, but I never got it configured to where I could stand it. I think forcing color was a problem with it too.16:46
akkCan't imagine why anyone would think that was a good thing to do in a text-mode app.16:46
Faqtotumi never used pine under gnu/linux, only hp/ux16:48
akkI used zmail on other unices, and miss it ... and it's finally been opensourced (a few years ago) but it doesn't work right on linux.16:50
akkSome day I'll find time to fix the problems and make it work ... it was a great text-mode and curses-mode mailer.16:51
Faqtotumwhen i used pine (circa 1995) the only other way to read mail to my dgimpe01@ccsf.cc.ca.us address was elm16:54
akkWhy do spammers send N msgs/day, every day, to the SAME MAILING LIST? Wishing mailman had content filters, not just sender.16:55
Faqtotumif you host the postfix/whatever and not just mailman, there is spamassassin16:56
akkThis list is on a hosting service, alas. But I haven't had much luck with content filters in spamassassin either; I end up having to add a lot of keywords in procmail filters for things spamassassin doesn't catch.17:01
Faqtotumakk: http://www.jcdigita.com/eximconfig/17:12
bkerensapleia2: Do you know the url path for meetingology minutes? I need to grab our minutes from last meeting so I can port to a wiki17:57
pleia2bkerensa: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/17:59
bkerensapleia2: Thanks! :)17:59

MarkDudeDueling pages?21:34
MarkDudeakk lol21:34
MarkDudeDid not think about that21:34
* MarkDude actually did consider legally changing name to dude21:34

akkJust saw a (really bad) movie about a guy who wanted to be called The Dude, "The Big Lebowski"21:36
jtatumpleia2: under the dropdown where it says "1 page", you can manage from there21:36
pleia2hmm21:37
pleia2I'm already in the management interface, but I can't find how to add other people21:37
Faqtotumif facebook requires real names, it would make sense for g+ to do the same21:37

pleia2"Multiple administrator support is promised in the near future"21:39
pleia2heh21:39
pleia2well, I handle the other social media stuff anyway with iheartubuntu, so I guess it's not a big deal21:39
MarkDudeakk that is the best movie21:42
MarkDudeOMG, I finally think I have found sumthin' akk is actually wrong about. I never thought I would see it.21:42
