| ubuntuWi-Guest | hello h00k this is rick | 01:50 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | hi! | 01:56 |
| h00k | hi ubuntuWi-Guest | 01:56 |
| h00k | (Rick) | 01:56 |
| h00k | hi, yotux | 01:57 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | h00k, is your eye better? | 01:58 |
| yotux | hello: hook | 02:00 |
| h00k | ubuntuWi-Guest: mostly, yeah. It's still a bit fuzzy in bright light | 02:00 |
| h00k | I'll be right back, a guest is leaving | 02:01 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | yotux: are you in Madison? | 02:02 |
| yotux | Close enough Live in Portage | 02:02 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | Is the Portage Plumber still living? | 02:03 |
| yotux | yes that business is still alive, think its now called the country plumber unless we talking about two difference entities | 02:04 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | A guy use to run into Camp Randall for all the football games and get the crowd going crazy | 02:05 |
| h00k | this is exigraff. I have taken over. | 02:05 |
| h00k | FEAR ME. | 02:06 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | He was from Portage so they called him the Portage plumber | 02:06 |
| h00k | nah, h00k'll be right back. | 02:06 |
| yotux | Guest sorry not sure of that person | 02:07 |
| yotux | Guest sorry not sure of that person | 02:08 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | I guess I am just showing my age again. | 02:08 |
| yotux | With age one gains wisdom or one would hope | 02:08 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | Hope is my only hope | 02:08 |
| yotux | I am trying to multi task installing android SDK | 02:11 |
| yotux | Guest: where are you from? | 02:11 |
| h00k | OKay | 02:11 |
| h00k | sorry about that. | 02:11 |
| yotux | np welcome back | 02:12 |
| h00k | exigraff stopped by. | 02:12 |
| h00k | Cool, so is it the three of us? | 02:12 |
| h00k | Cheesehead volunteered to be another speaker | 02:12 |
| ubuntuWi-Guest | I think so. | 02:12 |
| h00k | DavidLevin, greppy, KBme, mikeputnam, ripps, zz_bigbash: Ping, we're going to start | 02:12 |
| h00k | ubuntuWi-Guest: you can change your nickname by typing: /nick newnicknamehere | 02:13 |
| === ubuntuWi-Guest is now known as rickeee | ||
| h00k | Well, yotux, you offered to speak, do you have any preferences on topic? | 02:14 |
| h00k | Let me link to the current idea for an agenda | 02:14 |
| yotux | hook: this would be my first time presenting to a group about Ubuntu so I am open to any ideas | 02:16 |
| h00k | http://ubuntuone.com/07P46lzpEhOKEMnD2vORGd | 02:17 |
| h00k | yotux: take a look at that, page 2, "Concurrent tracks" | 02:17 |
| h00k | Installation/Applications | 02:17 |
| yotux | looking now | 02:18 |
| rickeee | I would also volunteer to create a powerpoint for you | 02:18 |
| h00k | but we're looking for two concurrent racks that will happen at the same time | 02:20 |
| rickeee | The tracks are suppose to be more demonstration than discussion | 02:20 |
| yotux | hook: could do a daul boot, or a live cd install | 02:20 |
| h00k | then the people will switch presentations | 02:20 |
| yotux | time wise dual boot could be time consuming depending how how part. are shrank | 02:21 |
| rickeee | With wubi can you just show the start phase which has the majority of the questions? | 02:22 |
| h00k | Wubi won't require repartitioning, that's true | 02:22 |
| h00k | alternatively, I could have a laptop ready for demo/dualboot | 02:22 |
| yotux | I used daul boot at the moment. Use ubuntu 99% of the time | 02:23 |
| rickeee | I can also provide a laptop with only XP on it. We could then show the live CD environment first followed by a wubi install | 02:23 |
| h00k | well, we certainly have the hardware | 02:25 |
| h00k | yotux: I suppose you're free to decide, if you're presenting ;) | 02:25 |
| yotux | where is the greater need? | 02:25 |
| h00k | Wubi, a live-repartition (usually safe if you use the end of a partition to put Ubuntu on) | 02:26 |
| yotux | For me I have made the leap to open source. I am willing to make it work | 02:26 |
| yotux | Some of the people there may not be so warm to the idea | 02:26 |
| rickeee | I think the reason for the install demos is to calm the fears of newbies and also show them the options | 02:27 |
| h00k | and just pick one for demonstration sake | 02:27 |
| yotux | rickeee: good point.... | 02:27 |
| yotux | hook: Live CD | 02:27 |
| h00k | Sure | 02:28 |
| * h00k shrugs | 02:28 | |
| rickeee | I think we have to expect them to be hesitant to try this stuff on their own computers by themselves | 02:28 |
| yotux | also willing to do wubi... double the commitment.... | 02:28 |
| rickeee | If we have time, about 1 hour, showing both would be great | 02:28 |
| h00k | Or start one, start the other | 02:29 |
| h00k | two at the same time | 02:29 |
| yotux | I have multiple machines that I can bring | 02:29 |
| rickeee | I haven't done an install for a while. How long does live CD take? | 02:29 |
| yotux | about 20 mins | 02:30 |
| h00k | a live USB takes 10, maybe, it's not too bad | 02:30 |
| h00k | on a decent machine. | 02:30 |
| yotux | alt are taking much longer for me.... closer to 40 | 02:30 |
| rickeee | Is there some 'downtime" during the install to start the wubi ? | 02:30 |
| yotux | I would say yes, after the initial install questions | 02:31 |
| h00k | Sure, once you hit install, it asks questions. When you finish the questions, you're free to whatever until it's done. | 02:31 |
| h00k | And it installs while you answer the questions | 02:31 |
| rickeee | So we could start the Live CD until the 'downtime' and then start a second install using a pc with wubi already installed? | 02:32 |
| yotux | yes, I think that could be done | 02:33 |
| rickeee | sounds like a plan | 02:33 |
| rickeee | I would think we can have an 'assistant' help you switching cables etc.... | 02:34 |
| h00k | that works. We don't have to catch every use case. | 02:34 |
| rickeee | No, we are looking for showing the 'normal' case | 02:35 |
| yotux | I also have a couple of monitors. 2 LCDs | 02:35 |
| rickeee | That would be very helpful. h00k, will you be able to get a projector? | 02:36 |
| h00k | rickeee: I think I can try to round one up | 02:36 |
| h00k | I can probably find out for sure in the next week or so | 02:37 |
| yotux | sorry I don't have one of those | 02:37 |
| h00k | The only other thing we don't have is any lightning talks, which we should open to the mailing list | 02:37 |
| rickeee | We would need to know so we can plan accordingly. I also have one LCD I can bring | 02:37 |
| rickeee | I mentioned my use of Audacity last week for recording records and cassette tape. Do you think this would qualify? | 02:39 |
| h00k | I think so, if you'd be illing | 02:40 |
| h00k | *willing | 02:40 |
| h00k | however, you're already doing a lot, s don't over-burden yourself | 02:40 |
| rickeee | I would be willing and I have a lot more time than you guys and I'm not a newlywed. | 02:41 |
| h00k | We should certainly ask for any others, too | 02:41 |
| rickeee | what about Ian | 02:42 |
| h00k | He volunteered to talk | 02:42 |
| h00k | I suppose Cheesehead gets Applications ;) | 02:42 |
| h00k | Brb, I have to check on the dogs, they're barking an awful lot. | 02:44 |
| rickeee | Is cheesehead in our meeting tonight? | 02:45 |
| h00k | and here. | 02:48 |
| h00k | he's not curently around | 02:48 |
| rickeee | can we find out if he will demo applications? | 02:48 |
| h00k | Yep | 02:50 |
| rickeee | will you contact him? | 02:51 |
| h00k | Yeah, I bet he reads the backlog for this, but I'll let you know as soon as I hear from him | 02:52 |
| rickeee | ok | 02:52 |
| rickeee | I would like to start working on the install powerpoint and put it out for everyone to see/share. Is that OK? | 02:53 |
| yotux | think that would be great | 02:54 |
| rickeee | I will use ubuntu cloud again. Yotux, I will need your email sometime so I can share with you. | 02:55 |
| yotux | kc9tux | 02:56 |
| yotux | its an arrl address | 02:56 |
| yotux | other wise you could look me up on launchpad | 02:56 |
| yotux | should also be listed there same a my irc nick | 02:57 |
| h00k | https://launchpad.net/~yotux | 02:57 |
| yotux | thanks | 02:57 |
| rickeee | ok | 02:58 |
| rickeee | h00k, anything else tonite? | 02:59 |
| h00k | rickeee: that's really all I had | 03:00 |
| rickeee | My dog just indicated a need to go outside. I wil have to go. | 03:01 |
| h00k | I will send another email opening lightning talks to the mailing list | 03:01 |
| rickeee | Sounds good. Good night to all! | 03:01 |
| yotux | sounds like a plan... | 03:04 |
| yotux | installing xubuntu on a older machine for a friend | 03:04 |
| * Cheesehead reads the scrollback | 20:48 | |
| Cheesehead | Oh, I better answer some questions: Yes, No, five, tuesday, and "Ham and Swiss" | 20:48 |
| h00k | Oi. | 20:48 |
| Cheesehead | Happy to do a bunch of presenting with Track 2 | 20:50 |
| Cheesehead | I'm not an expert on U1 (I don't use it and promptly uninstall it), nor Social Networking (I live under a rock and above another rock) | 20:50 |
| h00k | That's okay, I can jump in on either of those | 20:51 |
| Cheesehead | But I know my way adequately around Web Browsers, Backup, Networking, Multimedia, and LibreOffice | 20:52 |
| Cheesehead | ...I suppose I better refamiliarize with Ubuntu apps. I've been using Xubuntu for so many years... | 20:53 |
| h00k | I wonder what's in this horrid-looking 'soup booster' | 20:55 |
| Cheesehead | Usually MSG and peyote. | 20:55 |
| h00k | http://www.nissinfoods.com/bowlnoodles/hot-spicy/ these. | 20:56 |
| Cheesehead | Ah. You know that kind of non-nutrition may shorten your lifespan? | 20:57 |
| Cheesehead | You're in Wisconsin. Eat a stck of butter for lunch. | 20:57 |
| h00k | yep :( | 20:57 |
| Cheesehead | It will also shorten your lifespan, but tastes better. | 20:58 |
| Cheesehead | If we get questions about small-business software like Quickbooks integration, or LibreOffice-windows COM integration, I've learned quite a bit about those. | 20:59 |
| h00k | orly | 20:59 |
| Cheesehead | I've also compiled a bunch of custom Live-USB sticks using Debian Live. Not installers, working systems. | 21:00 |
| Cheesehead | I suppose those are good for lightning talks. | 21:02 |
| h00k | Oh, cool. That could work, too, but it'd be nice to get someone new to talk, to | 21:02 |
| Cheesehead | Agreed | 21:02 |
| Cheesehead | Nice to have *something* on the list to start with. | 21:03 |
| h00k | that's true | 21:07 |
| h00k | the quickbooks, I'd be interested in | 21:08 |
| Cheesehead | Quickbooks on Ubuntu is easy: VM is the only solution. | 21:41 |
| Cheesehead | Python to interact with QB, to pull data and do transactions...that can be Win on Linux | 21:42 |
| Cheesehead | s/on/or | 21:42 |
| Cheesehead | Win or Linux | 21:42 |
| Cheesehead | For example, I use a python script every two weeks that pulls a filtered set of the QB database, and then creates Invoices in LibreOffice for printing and mailing (and e-mailing) | 21:44 |
| Cheesehead | Back to Wausau: | 21:54 |
| Cheesehead | [Idea] Wausau session: How to Get Your Questions Answered (support) | 21:55 |
| Cheesehead | [Idea] Wausau session: How to Install New Software (Software Center) | 21:55 |
| Cheesehead | I suppose those questions will pop up anyhow, though. | 21:56 |
