gua"distro" as in "distribution" generally means "linux-kernel-based OS". both distros and OSes are just a kernel plus a collection of tools.06:53
Swagbodianwhat is "kernel"06:53
philipballewyou should be scared06:53

SwagbodianO.O06:53
philipballewits ubuntu based06:53
Swagbodianhold on06:54
Swagbodianlemme google what kernel means06:54
guaSwagbodian: the kernel is software that handles your devices directly. cpu, memory/ram, mouse, etc. a kernel is like a bunch of drivers stuck together.06:54
* philipballew holds06:54
guaSwagbodian: googling is good too06:54
philipballew!kernel06:54
EurekaThe core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages06:54

=== MediaDoneRight is now known as mdr|afk
bkerensapleia2: Are you going to possibly make a openphoto account for Ubuntu CA?20:42
bkerensa:D20:42
pleia2bkerensa: once openphoto hooks in to all the tagging, grouping and other features we use to communicate with other teams on flickr, sure!20:43
bkerensapleia2: I will ping you when it does... I have to go over our top feature requests with our lead dev tonight and turn them into wishlist items to work on20:43
bkerensa:D20:43
bkerensaI want shotwell support myself :P20:44
pleia2ubuntu pennsylvania still uses a gallery install, didn't go that route with california because 1) gallery2 mostly sucks :( 2) flickr has all the social tools and works with loco.ubuntu.com20:45
pleia2(we also considered picasa(|web))20:45
bkerensapleia2: Well I think in the near future we will support auto-importing from Flickr/Picasa20:46
pleia2yeah, right now you have to do something crazy like dump from flickr to dropbox and import from there or something20:46
pleia2I went to a talk about it a couple months ago20:47
bkerensapleia2: I am making a juju charm to deploy Openphoto in the cloud and also going to re-write a lot of our docs and perhaps improve the auto install scripts20:47
bkerensa:D20:47
bkerensaI leave the api monkeying for other people ;p20:47
pleia2juju isn't really my thing, I need rapid, reliable maintenance, not deployment ;)20:48
* pleia2 doesn't do cloud-things yet20:48
philipballew_juju charms are interesting in some ways20:48
bkerensajuju charms are interesting when Canonical sends me $100 gift cards ;p20:49
pleia2lol20:49
philipballew_what language bkerensa do you write them in?20:49
bkerensanah juju is fun... Kees Cook made a really cool sbuild charm which we used for Debian multi-arch stuffs20:50
bkerensaphilipballew: any language you want20:50
bkerensa:D20:50
bkerensajuju charms can be written in almost any language... py, C#, ruby, php20:50
bkerensabash script?20:50
philipballew_maybe bash, thats interesting20:50
philipballew_Id need to understand how juju charms work more before I understand how id write a charm20:51
bkerensaphilipballew: they deploy cloud instances of your favorite apps and allow you to stack20:51
bkerensaso you can for instance use the apache, mysql and php charms as dependencies to deploy a "phpmyadmin charm"20:52
bkerensalike the openphoto charm I am going to write will use LAMP which saves me a lot of writing and then I just write hooks to install openphoto, config it in apache and start/stop/upgrade/expose20:53
bkerensa:D20:53
philipballew_I have looked into the cloud a few times, but whats the real difference between that and a vps?20:53
philipballew_because cant i just use a vps and lamp to run and webstuff anyway?20:53
bkerensaphilipballew: VPS and Cloud's are the same thing physically in that they are isolated instances running on hardware20:55
bkerensabut a VPS is intended to host all or a good portion of the load20:55
bkerensawhile Cloud is intended for bigger load balancing20:55
bkerensaLike a One VPS to run a site or two or three is normal but not 200 because of cost20:56
philipballew_so why would I want to use a cloud vs a vps?20:56
bkerensaphilipballew: cost20:56
bkerensaVPSes are more expensive20:56
pleia2rapid deployment20:56
bkerensafor large deployments20:56
bkerensaand rapid ^20:56
pleia2more flexible scalability20:57
bkerensapleia2 explains it much better then me :P20:57
philipballew_but if im just running say one website, I would want a vps, but if i have many things, a cloud is better?20:57
bkerensaVPS caters to people who dont quite need a Dedicated20:57
pleia2and most "cloud" offerings have swappable storage options, where VPSes really attempt to be "pretend like this is a colo box"20:57
bkerensa^20:57
pleia2if you're just running a website you might just want a $5/mo account with dreamhost ;)20:58
bkerensaugh20:58
bkerensadreamhost hosts Ubuntu Oregon but imho I would likely not use them for a person site20:58
bkerensapersonal*20:58
pleia2probably a bad example, but you don't need a whole linux box if you just need a single service20:59
bkerensa$19.95 for a Linode20:59
philipballew_I used to run it myself but then the place a was storing the desktop at found out I pluged it in and opened ports...20:59
bkerensaUse their stack scripts and you can have a Wordpress deployment in one click20:59
philipballew_my friend found a 5 dollar a month vps somewhere20:59
philipballew_okay, but not for anything major20:59
bkerensaphilipballew: FDC Servers? :P20:59
bkerensaThey charge about that with unlimited bandwidth (they oversell their pipes)21:00
philipballew_I need to look into that with the cloud21:00
philipballew_for a linux user/technology user, I am always behind with technology21:00
philipballew_My desktop is still a pentium 421:01
philipballew_bkerensa, If i want to write charms, I need to have a cloud service paid for though. I am way to cheep for that.21:02
bkerensaphilipballew: you can run juju in lxc21:02
bkerensaso you can run it off your desktop or laptop21:02
bkerensafor testing etc21:02
philipballew_yeah, but i need to have instances to test it with?21:03
pleia2http://askubuntu.com/questions/65359/how-do-i-configure-juju-for-local-usage still applicable?21:03
pleia2there are a few guides floating around21:03
philipballew_maybe a use for my old desktop running ubuntu server 10.0421:04
pleia2philipballew_: lxc is kind of a type of virtualization, you create a fake series of instances that believe they are all separate, and hook them together with juju21:04
philipballew_I need to upgrade that to 12.0421:04
pleia2yeah, 12.04 is a must for any of this stuff21:04
philipballew_hum. Something to add to my "summer projects"21:05
bkerensaphilipballew: believe it or not I never even tested my charm :P21:05
* pleia2 lunchtime21:05
bkerensading21:05
bkerensaWell I did a single time but mostly I just had the charmers team review and test it since they were the ones who wanted me to write it :P21:06
* philipballew_ has sucky programing skills21:08
philipballew_well, thats only because I never take the time to debug21:08
philipballew_what ones have you wrote bkerensa ?21:09
bkerensaphilipballew: I wrote Subway using very simple bash scripting http://jujucharms.com/charms/oneiric/subway21:10
bkerensaphilipballew: although I hope to write my next (Openphoto charm) in Python or at least bits and pieces Python and the rest in Bash21:10
bkerensa:D21:10
bkerensayou can also mix languages21:10
philipballew_bkerensa, I really enjoy their five dollar footlongs21:10
bkerensaphilipballew: I know right21:11
bkerensa:P21:11
bkerensaphilipballew: if you write a charm you get a juju t-shirt and Ubuntu travel mug21:11
bkerensaand in some cases I think they might hold more juju charm contests http://cloud.ubuntu.com/2012/04/juju-charm-contest-winners/21:11
philipballew_there having a charm school this december about a half mile from my dorm here in San Diego21:12
philipballew_Im gonna go21:12
* philipballew_ needs to figure out a way to sneak into it or something21:13
philipballew_there will be one at the uds I assume.21:13
=== Faqtotum is now known as DonkeyHotei
bkerensaphilipballew: I hope so.... so far there is really nothing on the UDS schedule21:38
bkerensa:D21:38
bkerensaand its just weeks away21:38
philipballew_yeah, I have SO much school to do before then, I finish school friday and uds starts monday21:40
guaa charm school sounds pretty neat. is there a list of planned charm schools?21:40
philipballew_somehow I need to figure out how to get there and drop off a car load of stuff in the meantime21:40
philipballew_gua, yeah!!!!21:41
guai was just googling and only found the main wikipage for charmschools, listed some web seminars, but i didn't see upcoming ones21:41
philipballew_I think there is one in the bay area in june21:42
philipballew_and also maybe uds will have one21:42
guaah that sounds good21:43
philipballew_Id look for you, but in about 2 minutes I have to go to class21:43
* philipballew_ off to chem lab21:44
bkerensagua: https://juju.ubuntu.com/Events21:49
