=== Geek_Juice is now known as Bryanstein [08:06] Hello, I have an indivuidal who I ran into from miami wanting to get involved in the Ubuntu community. Is there anyone here that can talk to him about helping in the great state of Florida? [08:08] ill send him to the channel in a few as well [08:09] anyone who wants top get to know TiMiDo go for it [08:09] thank you philipballew [08:09] ;) [08:09] i appreciate it === maxh1 is now known as maxh === Aaron__ is now known as TIMiDo === Aaron__ is now known as TiMiDo [12:50] TiMiDo: Welcome to our channel. [12:50] hello there [12:50] thank you [12:52] Not too many of us actively on at 3:00am. :) [12:52] oh LoL [12:52] here is 7 52 [12:52] I, was referring to your original introduction at 3:09. [12:53] We have a number of members from the Miami area here. [12:54] oh LoL [12:54] They do mettups at the Linux bar in Miami. [12:54] s/mettups/meetups [12:54] man i can't believe i got denied 3 years ago for my ubuntu membership cause of my damn wiki [12:57] that sucks [13:27] TiMiDo: What was wrong with your wiki? [13:27] they told me it was not enough [13:28] and I'm active in Launchpad [13:29] 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] oh motu team? [13:30] well like i said, i been wanting to become a member since 3 years ago, [13:30] and a lot of the same people that once we're #ubuntu-ni got approved [13:31] and i did not because my wiki was too poor, [13:31] your wiki is like you community resume [13:31] * mhall119 hasn't kept his up to date :( [13:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aaronfarias [13:32] that is my page [13:33] might I offer a couple suggestions? [13:34] sure [13:34] 1) Be specific about your contributions, list the projects you've done translations for, list all the meetups you've attended, etc [13:34] 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" [13:35] oh ok [13:35] 2) Get recommendations from other people in the community who have seen your work [13:35] mhall119, ljl is from the community [13:36] and he is an active ubuntu member [13:36] 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] TiMiDo: that's good, but get as many as you can [13:36] Right. [13:37] 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] oh ok === me is now known as Guest46608 === Guest46608 is now known as DammitJim [16:05] Looking for a little bash help [16:05] maxolasersquad: whatcha need? [16:05] I'm doing this just fine: sendmail -v foo@bar.com < error.mail [16:06] However I'd like to append $MESSAGE to the end of the email that gets sent. [16:06] hmmmm [16:07] maxolasersquad: maybe something like `cat error.mail && echo $MESSAGE` | sendmail -v foo@bar.com [16:09] Not quite, that gave me a body-less message that was from 'user@host' with user and host being the unix box. [16:10] huh... [16:11] I'm not quite sure why though. [16:11] did you use backticks, not single quotes [16:11] Yes [16:11] try just cat error.mail | sendmail -v foo@bar [16:11] see if that gives you what you were getting the other way [16:12] Yes, it works if I just do one or the other [16:14] well, you can always build up a file in /tmp [16:14] cp error.mail /tmp/randomfile; echo $MESSAGE >> /tmp/randomfile; sendmail -v foo@bar < /tmp/randomfile; rm /tmp/randomfile [16:15] I got it. [16:15] echo "`cat error.mail && echo $MESSAGE`" | sendmail -v foo@bar.com [16:15] I appreciate the help. [16:17] np, glad that worked
