| maxolasersquad | TiMiDo: Welcome to our channel. | 12:50 |
| TiMiDo | hello there | 12:50 |
| TiMiDo | thank you | 12:50 |
| maxolasersquad | Not too many of us actively on at 3:00am. :) | 12:52 |
| TiMiDo | oh LoL | 12:52 |
| TiMiDo | here is 7 52 | 12:52 |
| maxolasersquad | I, was referring to your original introduction at 3:09. | 12:52 |
| maxolasersquad | We have a number of members from the Miami area here. | 12:53 |
| TiMiDo | oh LoL | 12:54 |
| maxolasersquad | They do mettups at the Linux bar in Miami. | 12:54 |
| maxolasersquad | s/mettups/meetups | 12:54 |
| TiMiDo | man i can't believe i got denied 3 years ago for my ubuntu membership cause of my damn wiki | 12:54 |
| TiMiDo | that sucks | 12:57 |
| maxolasersquad | TiMiDo: What was wrong with your wiki? | 13:27 |
| TiMiDo | they told me it was not enough | 13:27 |
| TiMiDo | and I'm active in Launchpad | 13:28 |
| maxolasersquad | There's plenty of people here who can help you get everything in order for membership approval. I'm just now getting involved with stuff to be eligible. I'm working on packaging software. | 13:29 |
| TiMiDo | oh motu team? | 13:29 |
| TiMiDo | well like i said, i been wanting to become a member since 3 years ago, | 13:30 |
| TiMiDo | and a lot of the same people that once we're #ubuntu-ni got approved | 13:30 |
| TiMiDo | and i did not because my wiki was too poor, | 13:31 |
| mhall119 | your wiki is like you community resume | 13:31 |
| * mhall119 hasn't kept his up to date :( | 13:31 | |
| TiMiDo | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aaronfarias | 13:32 |
| TiMiDo | that is my page | 13:32 |
| mhall119 | might I offer a couple suggestions? | 13:33 |
| TiMiDo | sure | 13:34 |
| mhall119 | 1) Be specific about your contributions, list the projects you've done translations for, list all the meetups you've attended, etc | 13:34 |
| mhall119 | there's a big difference between "I'm active on translations" and "I did the translations for that specific program you use or heard of" | 13:34 |
| TiMiDo | oh ok | 13:35 |
| mhall119 | 2) Get recommendations from other people in the community who have seen your work | 13:35 |
| TiMiDo | mhall119, ljl is from the community | 13:35 |
| TiMiDo | and he is an active ubuntu member | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | since the community is all about working together, recommendations show to the membership board that you're more than just a solo actor | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | TiMiDo: that's good, but get as many as you can | 13:36 |
| TiMiDo | Right. | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | a good list of recommendations is one of the strongest things supporting your membership, and having those people attend the membership meeting if possible will make it doubly so | 13:37 |
| TiMiDo | oh ok | 13:37 |

| maxolasersquad | Looking for a little bash help | 16:05 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: whatcha need? | 16:05 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm doing this just fine: sendmail -v foo@bar.com < error.mail | 16:05 |
| maxolasersquad | However I'd like to append $MESSAGE to the end of the email that gets sent. | 16:06 |
| mhall119 | hmmmm | 16:06 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: maybe something like `cat error.mail && echo $MESSAGE` | sendmail -v foo@bar.com | 16:07 |
| maxolasersquad | Not quite, that gave me a body-less message that was from 'user@host' with user and host being the unix box. | 16:09 |
| mhall119 | huh... | 16:10 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm not quite sure why though. | 16:11 |
| mhall119 | did you use backticks, not single quotes | 16:11 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes | 16:11 |
| mhall119 | try just cat error.mail | sendmail -v foo@bar | 16:11 |
| mhall119 | see if that gives you what you were getting the other way | 16:11 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes, it works if I just do one or the other | 16:12 |
| mhall119 | well, you can always build up a file in /tmp | 16:14 |
| mhall119 | cp error.mail /tmp/randomfile; echo $MESSAGE >> /tmp/randomfile; sendmail -v foo@bar < /tmp/randomfile; rm /tmp/randomfile | 16:14 |
| maxolasersquad | I got it. | 16:15 |
| maxolasersquad | echo "`cat error.mail && echo $MESSAGE`" | sendmail -v foo@bar.com | 16:15 |
| maxolasersquad | I appreciate the help. | 16:15 |
| mhall119 | np, glad that worked | 16:17 |
