[01:50] hello h00k this is rick [01:56] hi! [01:56] hi ubuntuWi-Guest [01:56] (Rick) [01:57] hi, yotux [01:58] h00k, is your eye better? [02:00] hello: hook [02:00] ubuntuWi-Guest: mostly, yeah. It's still a bit fuzzy in bright light [02:01] I'll be right back, a guest is leaving [02:02] yotux: are you in Madison? [02:02] Close enough Live in Portage [02:03] Is the Portage Plumber still living? [02:04] yes that business is still alive, think its now called the country plumber unless we talking about two difference entities [02:05] A guy use to run into Camp Randall for all the football games and get the crowd going crazy [02:05] this is exigraff. I have taken over. [02:06] FEAR ME. [02:06] He was from Portage so they called him the Portage plumber [02:06] nah, h00k'll be right back. [02:07] Guest sorry not sure of that person [02:08] Guest sorry not sure of that person [02:08] I guess I am just showing my age again. [02:08] With age one gains wisdom or one would hope [02:08] Hope is my only hope [02:11] I am trying to multi task installing android SDK [02:11] Guest: where are you from? [02:11] OKay [02:11] sorry about that. [02:12] np welcome back [02:12] exigraff stopped by. [02:12] Cool, so is it the three of us? [02:12] Cheesehead volunteered to be another speaker [02:12] I think so. [02:12] DavidLevin, greppy, KBme, mikeputnam, ripps, zz_bigbash: Ping, we're going to start [02:13] ubuntuWi-Guest: you can change your nickname by typing: /nick newnicknamehere === ubuntuWi-Guest is now known as rickeee [02:14] Well, yotux, you offered to speak, do you have any preferences on topic? [02:14] Let me link to the current idea for an agenda [02:16] hook: this would be my first time presenting to a group about Ubuntu so I am open to any ideas [02:17] http://ubuntuone.com/07P46lzpEhOKEMnD2vORGd [02:17] yotux: take a look at that, page 2, "Concurrent tracks" [02:17] Installation/Applications [02:18] looking now [02:18] I would also volunteer to create a powerpoint for you [02:20] but we're looking for two concurrent racks that will happen at the same time [02:20] The tracks are suppose to be more demonstration than discussion [02:20] hook: could do a daul boot, or a live cd install [02:20] then the people will switch presentations [02:21] time wise dual boot could be time consuming depending how how part. are shrank [02:22] With wubi can you just show the start phase which has the majority of the questions? [02:22] Wubi won't require repartitioning, that's true [02:22] alternatively, I could have a laptop ready for demo/dualboot [02:23] I used daul boot at the moment. Use ubuntu 99% of the time [02:23] 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 [02:25] well, we certainly have the hardware [02:25] yotux: I suppose you're free to decide, if you're presenting ;) [02:25] where is the greater need? [02:26] Wubi, a live-repartition (usually safe if you use the end of a partition to put Ubuntu on) [02:26] For me I have made the leap to open source. I am willing to make it work [02:26] Some of the people there may not be so warm to the idea [02:27] I think the reason for the install demos is to calm the fears of newbies and also show them the options [02:27] and just pick one for demonstration sake [02:27] rickeee: good point.... [02:27] hook: Live CD [02:28] Sure [02:28] * h00k shrugs [02:28] I think we have to expect them to be hesitant to try this stuff on their own computers by themselves [02:28] also willing to do wubi... double the commitment.... [02:28] If we have time, about 1 hour, showing both would be great [02:29] Or start one, start the other [02:29] two at the same time [02:29] I have multiple machines that I can bring [02:29] I haven't done an install for a while. How long does live CD take? [02:30] about 20 mins [02:30] a live USB takes 10, maybe, it's not too bad [02:30] on a decent machine. [02:30] alt are taking much longer for me.... closer to 40 [02:30] Is there some 'downtime" during the install to start the wubi ? [02:31] I would say yes, after the initial install questions [02:31] Sure, once you hit install, it asks questions. When you finish the questions, you're free to whatever until it's done. [02:31] And it installs while you answer the questions [02:32] So we could start the Live CD until the 'downtime' and then start a second install using a pc with wubi already installed? [02:33] yes, I think that could be done [02:33] sounds like a plan [02:34] I would think we can have an 'assistant' help you switching cables etc.... [02:34] that works. We don't have to catch every use case. [02:35] No, we are looking for showing the 'normal' case [02:35] I also have a couple of monitors. 2 LCDs [02:36] That would be very helpful. h00k, will you be able to get a projector? [02:36] rickeee: I think I can try to round one up [02:37] I can probably find out for sure in the next week or so [02:37] sorry I don't have one of those [02:37] The only other thing we don't have is any lightning talks, which we should open to the mailing list [02:37] We would need to know so we can plan accordingly. I also have one LCD I can bring [02:39] I mentioned my use of Audacity last week for recording records and cassette tape. Do you think this would qualify? [02:40] I think so, if you'd be illing [02:40] *willing [02:40] however, you're already doing a lot, s don't over-burden yourself [02:41] I would be willing and I have a lot more time than you guys and I'm not a newlywed. [02:41] We should certainly ask for any others, too [02:42] what about Ian [02:42] He volunteered to talk [02:42] I suppose Cheesehead gets Applications ;) [02:44] Brb, I have to check on the dogs, they're barking an awful lot. [02:45] Is cheesehead in our meeting tonight? [02:48] and here. [02:48] he's not curently around [02:48] can we find out if he will demo applications? [02:50] Yep [02:51] will you contact him? [02:52] Yeah, I bet he reads the backlog for this, but I'll let you know as soon as I hear from him [02:52] ok [02:53] I would like to start working on the install powerpoint and put it out for everyone to see/share. Is that OK? [02:54] think that would be great [02:55] I will use ubuntu cloud again. Yotux, I will need your email sometime so I can share with you. [02:56] kc9tux [02:56] its an arrl address [02:56] other wise you could look me up on launchpad [02:57] should also be listed there same a my irc nick [02:57] https://launchpad.net/~yotux [02:57] thanks [02:58] ok [02:59] h00k, anything else tonite? [03:00] rickeee: that's really all I had [03:01] My dog just indicated a need to go outside. I wil have to go. [03:01] I will send another email opening lightning talks to the mailing list [03:01] Sounds good. Good night to all! [03:04] sounds like a plan... [03:04] installing xubuntu on a older machine for a friend [20:48] * Cheesehead reads the scrollback [20:48] Oh, I better answer some questions: Yes, No, five, tuesday, and "Ham and Swiss" [20:48] Oi. [20:50] Happy to do a bunch of presenting with Track 2 [20:50] 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) [20:51] That's okay, I can jump in on either of those [20:52] But I know my way adequately around Web Browsers, Backup, Networking, Multimedia, and LibreOffice [20:53] ...I suppose I better refamiliarize with Ubuntu apps. I've been using Xubuntu for so many years... [20:55] I wonder what's in this horrid-looking 'soup booster' [20:55] Usually MSG and peyote. [20:56] http://www.nissinfoods.com/bowlnoodles/hot-spicy/ these. [20:57] Ah. You know that kind of non-nutrition may shorten your lifespan? [20:57] You're in Wisconsin. Eat a stck of butter for lunch. [20:57] yep :( [20:58] It will also shorten your lifespan, but tastes better. [20:59] 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] orly [21:00] I've also compiled a bunch of custom Live-USB sticks using Debian Live. Not installers, working systems. [21:02] I suppose those are good for lightning talks. [21:02] Oh, cool. That could work, too, but it'd be nice to get someone new to talk, to [21:02] Agreed [21:03] Nice to have *something* on the list to start with. [21:07] that's true [21:08] the quickbooks, I'd be interested in [21:41] Quickbooks on Ubuntu is easy: VM is the only solution. [21:42] Python to interact with QB, to pull data and do transactions...that can be Win on Linux [21:42] s/on/or [21:42] Win or Linux [21:44] 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) [21:54] Back to Wausau: [21:55] [Idea] Wausau session: How to Get Your Questions Answered (support) [21:55] [Idea] Wausau session: How to Install New Software (Software Center) [21:56] I suppose those questions will pop up anyhow, though.
