iktanyone running the 12.04 final beta?05:27
sagaciyup05:29
iktwhatcha think so far?05:31
sagaciit's good so far05:31
iktI'm getting over the anti-unity stuff pretty fast these days05:32
sagaci11.04 unity was pretty meh but it's certainly got a lot better05:32
iktIf you hate unity so much why not use Lubuntu or Xubuntu or Kubuntu or Mint or Debian Mint or any of the thousands of other distros ?? this is linux, you're not forced to use a certain DE05:32
ikt11.04 was the worst release of ubuntu ever I think :/05:32
iktbut then I read that instagram is running on ubuntu 11.0405:32
sagaciyup, I'll install ubuntu and kubuntu05:35
benonsoftwareI'll install 12.04 when APC has it on their cover DVD05:37
iktah05:38
iktyou're taking the first month off to see if they fix major bugs?05:38
jaddi27benonsoftware, You don't have unmetered access to a repo through bigpond, iinet, etc?05:38
benonsoftwarejaddi27: Nope :(05:38
ikthttp://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/another-billion-dollar-open-source-company-instagram/index.htm 05:38
iktWe run Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (“Natty Narwhal”) on Amazon EC2. We’ve found previous versions of Ubuntu had all sorts of unpredictable freezing episodes on EC2 under high traffic, but Natty has been solid.05:38
jaddi27benonsoftware, Who are you with?05:38
benonsoftwareTelstra, but pre-paid05:39
benonsoftwareand I believe they don't have unmetered stuff05:39
jaddi27ah, ok. That is quite annoying then05:39
benonsoftwareYeah that is a pain05:40
benonsoftwarePrice for it is bad but it will cost $300 to change ISPs05:42
jaddi27post-paid bigpond wireless gets unmetered content from http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au05:42
jaddi27i guess you could try a small file from there to see what happens05:43
benonsoftwareTired it a while, counted :(05:43
benonsoftwarePost-paid bigpong is great if you have two or more things with them05:43
benonsoftwareI just have the internet and that's all05:43
jaddi27ok. maybe time to write a letter to them saying it would be great if they would offer it on prepaid05:43
benonsoftwareI was thinking that before, might do that when I get a free weekend05:44
iktI don't think they'll offer it05:56
iktjust my jaded view :P05:56
iktwaiting for the nbn!05:56
jaddi27probably not, but it can't hurt to try05:57
iktfairly happy with 12.04, I'm not sure where else ubuntu can go though06:15
iktmaybe canonical will have more support services?06:15
iktlike ubuntu one06:15
sagaciikt: what do you mean, desktop-wise?06:20
iktyeah06:36
iktI don't see where else ubuntu can go DE wise06:36
sagacithere's still probably a lot of tweaks and little things to be done06:39
iktyeah true07:27
iktsagaci, do you have a link to the team meeting log?07:27
sagaciikt: there wasn't an April meeting07:34
iktoh :)07:34
ikt:( *07:34
ikthow come?07:34
sagacieveryone way busy eating chocolate07:38
iktoh true07:53
jaddi27welcome back head_victim10:40
head_victimEvening jaddi27 10:49
head_victimJust got home from a whirlwind tour of central qld10:49
jaddi27That sounds like it should have been interesting10:50
head_victimIt was, I've driven about 1000kms today10:50
jaddi27That is certainly a long day then10:51
jaddi27On wednesday I drove most of the way back from Fraser Island - that drive was not as interesting as your drive would have been10:51
head_victimI drove back from an hour west of Emerald and started around 630 in the morning10:57
head_victimAfter the first 8 hours I got into a bit of a trance I think10:57
sagacithe wheels on the car go round and round11:00
head_victimAnd if you're on qld roads they even go up and down a bit too much11:02
jaddi27head_victim, What are the general guidelines on re-applying for membership? I only got 2/4 votes at the meeting during the week, so was unsuccessful in the application11:10
head_victimI actually logged in and saw that. As long as you address the feedback provided there is no set timeline.11:10
head_victimFrom what I read they didn't see enough supporting documentation (testimonials)11:10
jaddi27Ok. The only feedback I got was more testimonials11:11
jaddi27yes11:11
head_victimIf that was the only concern raised then once you've fixed that issue I'd reapply.11:11
head_victimI was going to suggest you ask around but I saw you already had a couple of volunteers to write some.11:11
jaddi27Ok. What are the general number of testimonials you need?11:11
jaddi27I got one from sagaci - it was just slightly too late for the meeting11:12
head_victimEnough to prove to other random members that the claims you've made in your wiki application are supported.11:12
jaddi27and benonsoftware said that he would try to do one during the week11:12
head_victimSo if you're claiming to triage 100s of bugs you'd expect to see a couple of known bug team members giving testimonials.11:12
jaddi27Right. I have mainly just done translations and loco things, so the main people would be you, sagaci and benonsoftware that I know more11:13
head_victimPretty much sounds like it.11:13
jaddi27Hopefully that will be enough11:14
head_victimI must admit if I only saw one testimonial on an applicants page I'd be a bit unsure myself.11:14
jaddi27Yes, I was about to take my name off the list for the last meeting11:14
jaddi27I can completely understand why they thought that11:15
sagacithe next A/O meeting is during UDS11:18
sagaciaround 4am Oakland time11:18
jaddi27So I am guessing you won't be there sagaci?11:18
jaddi27Should I wait for another month after that?11:19
sagacinah11:19
head_victimAs long as it's written on the wiki page and "signed" (using the @SIG@ wiki command) it should be just as good as being there11:19
sagaciactually 3am11:20
jaddi27Well that's a bit better then :P11:20
sagacisydney event in 6 days11:21
jaddi27The facebook event has been created, but it did not automatically invite all the group members,which is annoying11:22
head_victimI can tweet/dent it if no one else gets a cahnce. If anyone else has time and wants to do it go ahead. Just make sure you link to the loco.u.c event page with the details11:23
head_victimjaddi27: nice work with the lp as well11:26
jaddi27head_victim, I can tweet it if you want11:27
head_victimjaddi27: go for it, as long as it's team related and we're not sending 10 a day feel free11:27
jaddi27Ok11:28
jaddi27I will just set something up, and then tweet it11:28
jaddi27dent it, actually11:28
head_victimYeah it's set up if you send it to the identica account it will autopopulate to the twitter one11:29
head_victimThe only gotcha is identica will allow a couple extra characters in it's limit I think so don't cut it too close or it doesn't go across to twitter.11:29
sagacichrom{e,ium} has a shocking en_AU dictionary12:06
jaddi27sagaci, time to change to firefox :)12:54
sagacibut chrome is much better is other ways12:55
sagaciand up until two days ago, I was a retired translator12:55
jaddi27i can do more tomorrow - i have an exam tomorrow, so am doing study for that instead of translations at the moment12:56
jaddi27sorry about that12:56
sagaciI'm doing them in order of priority12:57
sagaciI doubt we'll get 17,000 done in 10 days12:57
