| ebel | ☺ | 20:49 |
| BenChapman | hi folks | 20:50 |
| slashtommy | good evening | 20:50 |
| airurando | evening | 20:52 |
| slashtommy | we actually have our heating on, tis getting cold | 20:53 |
| airurando | coal fire here | 20:55 |
| airurando | just had a look at the website.... | 20:55 |
| airurando | some spam comments appearing | 20:56 |
| slashtommy | oh noes | 20:56 |
| * airurando has blocked his first 2 users | 20:56 | |
| mokmeister | hello everybody | 20:56 |
| airurando | hi mokmeister | 20:56 |
| andru_ | hello all | 20:56 |
| airurando | hi andru_ aka infoturtle | 20:57 |
| andru_ | ya, had to restart to test a script and infoturtle was still here??? | 20:57 |
| airurando | very short agenda for tonights meeting | 20:59 |
| andru_ | where to hell do you put scripts to have them run at start up? | 20:59 |
| airurando | ebel or slashtommy should know that one | 21:00 |
| slashtommy | in /etc/rc.local | 21:00 |
| ebel | andru_: when machine starts up? or when you log in? | 21:00 |
| ebel | what do you want it to do, and what do you need it to have access to? | 21:00 |
| andru_ | log in | 21:00 |
| ebel | e.g. if it needs access to your home directory, and you use the ubuntu encrypted home, then it can only run upon log in | 21:01 |
| slashtommy | oh ~/.bash_profile | 21:01 |
| andru_ | auto start conky, compiz, irc | 21:01 |
| ebel | if you're using gnome, you can set some programmes (incl. home made scripts) to start upon log in | 21:01 |
| ebel | tis somewhere in the settings, search for 'startup applications' afair | 21:02 |
| andru_ | I'm using LXDE and can't find that stinking option, NM I'll look into it later | 21:02 |
| ebel | or you might be able to use some ~/.Xsomething scrupit | 21:02 |
| slashtommy | it's 9.02pm ;) | 21:03 |
| ebel | aye, shall we start? | 21:03 |
| airurando | go for it | 21:03 |
| airurando | should take 5 mins ;) | 21:03 |
| === andru_ is now known as infoturtle | ||
| ebel | infoturtle: also if you register your nick you can kick it off irc with "/msg NickServ GHOST someoptionshere" | 21:04 |
| ebel | shall I chair? | 21:04 |
| airurando | yip | 21:04 |
| infoturtle | cheers ebel, might just do that | 21:04 |
| infoturtle | go for it | 21:04 |

| ebel | #topic CD distribution | 21:06 |
| delcoyote | PRESENT | 21:06 |
| ebel | I (as PoC) have the box of CDs. Some have been given out (to BenChampman (for coderdojo), to airurando, some in TOG) | 21:07 |
| ebel | however i have been bad and haven't actually followed up with people who asked for cds earlier | 21:07 |
| ebel | Sorry. | 21:07 |
| infoturtle | I got some but haven't handed em out yet | 21:07 |
| ebel | there are still lots of cds here | 21:07 |
| infoturtle | thanks again to airurando | 21:07 |
| ebel | I'll do that after this meeting | 21:07 |
| airurando | infoturtle my pleasure | 21:08 |
| ebel | sorry again | 21:08 |
| airurando | no bother ebel | 21:08 |
| airurando | do you need any help with it? | 21:08 |
| ebel | For the record, if you would like some CDs, please send me a self addressed envelope. Email me rory@technomancy.org and I'll sort it out | 21:09 |
| ebel | anyone wanna talk on this topic? | 21:10 |
| moylan | is there a public email address that we can tweet for that so that others can see it? | 21:10 |
| airurando | interesting idea moylan | 21:10 |
| moylan | just a thought | 21:10 |
| moylan | i'd never tweet somebodies private email address | 21:11 |
| airurando | ebel what do you think? | 21:11 |
| ebel | yes, you can tweet that | 21:11 |
| moylan | if you're sure... | 21:11 |
| ebel | this is a publically logged channel and publically logged meetin | 21:11 |
| moylan | there's public and scraped web pages public. how good is that spam filter? :-) | 21:11 |
| moylan | say a subject line of 'ubuntu cd' or something? | 21:12 |
| ebel | what? | 21:14 |
| ebel | I am not sure what you're asking about. This might spread some light on what I think your assumptions are: http://www.google.ie/search?q=rory%40technomancy.org | 21:14 |
| moylan | fair enough. just thought it might help you filter out requests if you asked folk to use a specific subject line. | 21:15 |
| ebel | nah | 21:15 |
| ebel | tis grand | 21:15 |
| moylan | i'll tweet that email address later for folk who want ubuntu cds. we could all blog the same? | 21:16 |
| airurando | aye | 21:17 |
| infoturtle | can do | 21:17 |
| ebel | sure | 21:17 |
| delcoyote | http://www.ubuntu-ie.org/ needs some make up? css? | 21:18 |
| ebel | anythign else on the cd topic? | 21:18 |
| delcoyote | any left at tog? | 21:18 |
| ebel | should be. lots | 21:19 |
| delcoyote | thanks ebel.. need to get there, but I use a different time table | 21:19 |
| ebel | ok | 21:19 |
| ebel | #topic AOB? | 21:19 |
| ebel | delcoyote: you asked about css? | 21:19 |
| airurando | The website | 21:20 |
| delcoyote | Just comparing ubuntu-ie and loco team websites, and needs some css? the website? | 21:20 |
| ebel | #topic website | 21:20 |
| ebel | (a) another thing i've forgotten to do! (change dns to point to blacknight) | 21:20 |
| airurando | it is very old | 21:21 |
| ebel | (b) who's offered to do the redesign? (/me forgot() | 21:21 |
| infoturtle | I was on it ages ago with thethomaseffect | 21:21 |
| airurando | thethomaseffect I think | 21:21 |
| ebel | ok | 21:22 |
| airurando | can someone change the 11:04 banner on the fromt | 21:22 |
| airurando | *fromt | 21:22 |
| airurando | ahhh | 21:22 |
| airurando | *front | 21:22 |
| ebel | right, i'll try what canonical suggest to move it to the blacknight host. then it'll be up to thethomaseffect to sort out setting up & configuring the new website | 21:22 |
| airurando | is thethomaseffect still up for it | 21:23 |
| airurando | delcoyote, are you interested? | 21:23 |
| ebel | good question. they aren't here now... | 21:23 |
| infoturtle | airurando: done | 21:23 |
| delcoyote | I'm useless but full of ideas, sorry airurando I can't help but I wish i could | 21:23 |
| airurando | infoturtle thanks | 21:24 |
| infoturtle | I can take it on again over xmas if we're on black knight now | 21:24 |
| airurando | delcoyote not to worry | 21:24 |
| airurando | maybe we could make this a regular agenda item | 21:25 |
| airurando | I only wish I had the knowledge to dig in | 21:25 |
| airurando | I'd certainly like to get involved in some way but would be pestering the lot of you | 21:26 |
| infoturtle | well when I'm free and we're on the new server I can reset things up. Then any little jobs that need doing can be brought up monthly | 21:27 |
| infoturtle | any one who's up to doing the little things can help out | 21:27 |
| infoturtle | or what ever way people want to do it | 21:27 |
| airurando | fine by me | 21:27 |
| * ebel is unsure if he has email for thethomaseffect, might look and shoot them an email to find out if they are still interested | 21:28 | |
| ebel | if we change dns, and nothing happens w.r.t. blacknight, then we have no website | 21:28 |
| ebel | (or at least, it's all offline) | 21:28 |
| airurando | ebel thethomaseffect is one man I think | 21:28 |
| ebel | airurando: i never implied otherwise (you're the second person to mention to me today about my use of "they" as a gender neutral singular pronoun :P ) | 21:29 |
| airurando | apologies | 21:29 |
| airurando | ebel wrt website is that rock and hard place? | 21:29 |
| ebel | well, here's an idea, website not being used much. let's bite the bullet, and just switch it. then we can get moving | 21:30 |
| airurando | what is the sequence of events that must happen | 21:30 |
| airurando | can we archive the old one? | 21:30 |
| ebel | the old one will still be there, on canonical servers, cut off from the internet. | 21:31 |
| ebel | we can repoint ubuntu-ie.org back to if at a later date if needed | 21:31 |
| airurando | OK | 21:31 |
| airurando | so are we simply starting fresh on blacknight? | 21:32 |
| infoturtle | we have that option at least | 21:32 |
| infoturtle | we don't HAVE to tho | 21:32 |
| ebel | depends who wants to set it up | 21:33 |
| airurando | what is the simplest safest way for us to get up any running on blacknight with a spiffy ubuntu theme? | 21:33 |
| ebel | depends if they wanna use the same software, depends if they wanna manually re-enter all content | 21:33 |
| mokmeister | where is the advantage of moving the website off of canonical servers and onto blacknight? | 21:33 |
| ebel | mokmeister: canoncial only provide a limited, out of date version of drupal | 21:34 |
| mokmeister | ok | 21:34 |
| ebel | and i think people wanna set up a new one | 21:34 |
| airurando | I think we should get it up and running as quickly and simply as possible. | 21:35 |
| mokmeister | agreed. | 21:35 |
| airurando | infoturtle could you have a plan in place by the time of the Jan meeting? | 21:36 |
| infoturtle | can do | 21:37 |
| airurando | ebel could you have the 'switch' ready to press by then also? | 21:37 |
| ebel | sure. | 21:37 |
| airurando | is that it so? | 21:38 |
| ebel | can take a several hours for dns to switch | 21:38 |
| ebel | tisn't instaneous | 21:38 |
| ebel | (well gets complicated :P ) | 21:38 |
| ebel | anything else? | 21:38 |
| airurando | we've waited years | 21:38 |
| airurando | several hours is minor | 21:38 |
| airurando | actions for yourselves? | 21:38 |
| mokmeister | ubuntu hour in Limerick, still happening? | 21:38 |
| infoturtle | the last few that were on I was at on my own but I would love to see one again | 21:39 |
