| head_victim | jea: meeting tomorrow night? | 13:56 |
|---|---|---|
| jea | yes, it is supposed to be tomorrow | 13:56 |
| jea | not sure how many will turn up - i didn't get around to emailing due to uni exams | 13:57 |
| head_victim | I started a new teaching period last week and forgot all about it | 13:59 |
| jea | yeah. I will try to send stuff out in the morning quickly | 14:01 |
| head_victim | I should be at the keyboard tomorrow night either way | 14:02 |
| head_victim | I have to get a start on the assessment pieces. | 14:02 |
| jea | Ok. I think I should be around also | 14:03 |
| ikt | :o | 14:10 |
| head_victim | Evening ikt | 14:11 |
| ikt | heya :) | 14:11 |
| ikt | meeting tomorrow night | 14:24 |
| head_victim | Yep, hoping we don't dwindle further | 14:31 |
| ikt | How do we compare to other teams? | 14:48 |
| ikt | is there a way to measure | 14:48 |
| head_victim | ikt: not really, most teams cycle through activity/inactivity from what I can work out. | 14:49 |
| ikt | I would like to compare ourselves to other countries like America and the UK | 14:49 |
| ikt | but we have such a sparse population | 14:49 |
| head_victim | Unfortunately it appears we're not achieving a whole lot lately. | 14:49 |
| ikt | it's true | 14:50 |
| ikt | but it's incredibly difficult to turn it around | 14:50 |
| ikt | looking at America's Logo's there's only 10 that are 'approved' by Ubuntu | 14:50 |
| ikt | and 2 are ubuntu canada and ubuntu quebec | 14:51 |
| ikt | so in a country with 300 million people they have 8 teams | 14:51 |
| sagaci | so in australia we should have around 0.8 of a team | 14:52 |
| ikt | lol | 14:52 |
| ikt | i can't put my finger on what it is | 14:52 |
| ikt | but the ubuntu forums has the same problem | 14:52 |
| head_victim | I'd be happy to see one or two real world events a cycle + release parties and then we'd be achieving things. | 14:52 |
| ikt | it's not necessarily dying, it's just not a community that I remember it | 14:52 |
| ikt | the ubuntu begineers team had a massive thing going for it | 14:53 |
| ikt | and then people started resigning | 14:53 |
| ikt | and now it's dead :/ | 14:53 |
| head_victim | Basically teams pop up when people have time for them and go when the handful of active people go. | 14:53 |
| head_victim | The hard part is getting a group of people to be active for longer periods of time and to grow the number. | 14:54 |
| ikt | it's interesting though, at work I know 3-4 guys who use ubuntu | 14:54 |
| ikt | and steam coming to ubuntu sparked a bit of discussion | 14:55 |
| ikt | even a few windows users were asking about it | 14:55 |
| ikt | but i just don't see any of them committing to a team and actively promoting it :( | 14:55 |
| ikt | wtb australian jono bacon | 14:56 |
| ikt | oh | 15:02 |
| ikt | btw head_victim, did you see my argument with paul gear on whirlpool? | 15:02 |
| ikt | or is it sagaci on wp | 15:03 |
| head_victim | ikt: nope sorry, link? | 15:05 |
| head_victim | ikt: that's really the crux of the loco issue. Ubuntu is making penetration into the marketplace but it's now something that people see as a tool rather than THEIR tool. It's grown to be something someone else does and others just USE it. | 15:06 |
| ikt | yeah exactly | 15:10 |
| ikt | and no link, all 40 posts got deleted | 15:10 |
| ikt | was over the ubuntu 12.10 amazon search results issue | 15:10 |
| head_victim | Ah, personally opt in works better for me but then again, it's not my decision to take. | 15:12 |
| ikt | I wish they'd made it a separate tab | 15:13 |
| ikt | http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2012/11/09/product-search-in-ubuntu-12-10/ | 15:13 |
| ikt | is from the former Technical Lead of Ubuntu Security Team | 15:13 |
| ikt | paul was quite upset | 15:13 |
| ikt | saying that the amazon search is a keylogger | 15:14 |
| ikt | and adware | 15:14 |
| ikt | and spyware etc | 15:14 |
| ikt | I was saying it isn't that bad | 15:14 |
| ikt | it's no worse than a google search | 15:14 |
| ikt | but he just kept going on about it | 15:14 |
| sagaci | I don't use the dash | 15:17 |
| head_victim | Yeah I saw either that article or another one summarising it the other day | 15:17 |
| head_victim | I really only use the dash for file searching when I don't use the file often | 15:17 |
| ikt | yeah same | 15:19 |
| head_victim | Ah well, I hate to leave the most conversation in here in a long time but I need to get back to my strategy assignment. Apparently Porter's 5 forces model is worth reading. | 15:24 |
| ikt | that's cool, have fun :) | 15:24 |
