[05:13] AlanBell: You around? [09:10] hi bkerensa [10:39] oi [10:39] AlanBell: Wrong channel sorry about that =o [10:43] heh, it was! [10:43] yes, fixes are on the way [10:44] we are in process of doing the #lubuntu queue right now [10:44] and I think we will process some of the other queues fairly soon [10:47] AlanBell: Shoul it be changed to fix committed? [10:47] :P [10:48] in progress is fine [10:49] k [10:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-council lots of stuff in progress [11:09] uhh I need to have a seperate install for doing package building :P [12:08] bkerensa: that's what chroots are for (and I use schroot and sbuild, but pbuilder is another) [12:10] yeah I know :) [12:10] I use schroot [16:54] jcastro: Had no idea you debianized gwibber :) [17:59] Evening [18:01] evening [18:01] How's everyone? [18:03] Pretty good s-fox, did you get that job? [18:03] * koolhead17 is alive and kicking :) [18:03] The one where the interview went well? [18:03] I have a second interview on the premises on Wednesday MrChrisDruif. I have been working on my OO PHP [18:12] Good going and good luck s-fox ^_^ [18:14] I'm applying to a job which combines working and learning. 28 hours of working and 10 hours of school in a week. [18:22] MrChrisDruif: sounds interesting :) [21:28] JanC: should we create a wiki page or an event on the LTP for FOSDEM ? [21:29] I was going to create a wiki page, but... [21:33] all the info we can add to the LTP [21:33] just under your locoteam? [21:33] thats if there are plans to go for dinner [21:34] I'm working on a wiki page right now [21:34] not sure what I'm doing the saturday night as there is a large group of us [21:34] wiki is fine then [21:35] Ward is going to look at dinner locations (maybe the Italian place from last year) [21:35] nods [21:35] and we'll compile a list at FOSDEM [21:35] tens to be more reliable than doing beforehand :P [21:36] we ended up in the Opera place again as they could seat 18 of us in the end [21:36] tends* [21:36] we actually borrowed seats from the MySQL people last year ☺ [21:36] cool [21:36] the friday night we ended up at some odd place but was nice [21:37] they told the restaurant they would be maybe 50, but on Friday night I talked to a Belgian member of their community they didn't expect more than 30 [21:37] and saturday as the group kept growing, we went to drug opera as only place I knew off hand that had large space. [21:37] have they finally banned smoking in pubs in .be now? [21:38] so we were on the same table with Monty and got free liquorice wodka ☺ [21:38] thoguth it was up to them and most do it bar the likes of delerium [21:38] JanC: nice but tis evil stuff [21:41] nn folks [21:41] popey: not entirely [21:42] popey: 2014-06-01 is the final cut-off date it seems [21:43] there are some rules that make it difficult/expensive to allow smoking though [21:44] e.g. Delirium is large enough that they have to make > 50% of the bar non-smoking, and the smoking parts need equipment to "suck" (most of) the smoke away [22:08] czajkowski: I started https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fosdem/2012 but need to add more info the next days ☺ [23:43] hey all [23:45] Aloha jono [23:46] How's it going jono ? [23:47] hey MrChrisDruif [23:47] good thanks [23:47] http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/01/23/hacking-on-accomplishments/ [23:47] Yeah, I'm not subscripted to your blog ^_^ [23:48] MrChrisDruif, it is on Planet Ubuntu too [23:48] Not an avid reader, let's just put it like that ^_^ [23:49] np [23:50] Awesome trophies ^_^ [23:50] :-) [23:51] hm, I wonder how that would work for helping people on IRC, on a forum, or in real life... [23:51] Clicked a button, Clicked another button...I'd have a million trophies by now then ;-) [23:51] AskUbuntu should be doable [23:51] IRC...interesting one...real life...ghe [23:52] real life help is often the most important ;) [23:52] AskUbuntu already has a rewarding system in place, you could retrieve those I think [23:52] but most difficult to reward [23:53] That is indeed true [23:53] How about "Installed *ubuntu on someone else's system"? =P [23:54] I see the spec mentions this to some degree [23:54] "Made your first OpenSSH connection" =P [23:54] under "Human Issued" [23:55] JanC, yeah, some things would need to be issued by people [23:55] the idea was to first get the automated ones fixed up first [23:55] then we have a platform in which we can generate trophies [23:55] but a lot of that sort of work happens outside of any official structure [23:55] JanC, what do you mean? [23:56] well, lots of people help other prople without any structure being around to record that [23:56] JanC, oh right, yeah [23:57] this system would not cover everything [23:57] but I think it could cover a lot [23:57] such as filing your first bug, getting a first patch approved, making a translation etc [23:58] Yes, those can be "easily" added, but JanC was referring to real life help situations [23:58] for several reasons translations aren't always registered to the actual translator... [23:58] right [23:59] and the same for patches, etc. [23:59] agreed, but I think this system would provide enough coverage of activities to help people feel that their contributions are worthwhile [23:59] so it won't cover everything, but I get the impression it would cover enough to be interesting for folks [23:59] and then the human issued can help cover the rest [23:59] this is still very much a WIP though, hence why we are just playing with ideas [23:59] jono, do you have dates for the end of applying for sponsorship yet please [23:59] cjohnston, not yet [23:59] I am going to get this out tomorrow
