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

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