=== mcpherri1 is now known as mcpherrin [09:23] Hey, guys, we're doing this re-approval thing. If you have anything you'd like to add, be my guest, or let us know. [09:23] BobJonkman: How'd you like to be co-contact? :) [09:23] 'cuz you're doing a better job of this than I am... [09:24] Oh, right, Re-approval page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012 [09:24] mcpherrin: Has the CSC done anything Ubuntu-related (even tangentially) you'd like to give us credit for? :) [09:26] Uh, we give out CDs and help people ubuntu-ify their laptops? A good number of CS students find it easier to work in than Windows, so you could probably take some credit there? [09:27] I kinda mean events. But CD distribution is good too. I'll try to work it in somewhere. [09:28] Like when was your last install fest? [09:28] We find that "fests" tend to work poorly, and end up just helping people install one at a time [09:29] The last one would have been two years ago, probably [09:30] I can't find evidence of one later than 2009 :P [09:30] Okay. Fair enough. [09:31] We've had "events" wherein people at bars get drunk and complain about how ubuntu is going to shit? [09:31] probably doesn't count :P [09:57] mcpherrin: I don't know, we can probably work with that... [11:04] dscassel: I'm good with being a contact... [15:53] hi there, [15:53] how are you guys? [15:53] JemSoft: Busy! [15:54] JemSoft: how're you? [15:54] I am OK , what's keeping you busy? [15:55] Ubuntu Canada re-approvals, a board meeting for my hackerspace tomorrow and painting my living room... [15:55] Fun! [15:55] hehe that's fun. I am in Toronto. I want to network with Ubuntu users. [15:55] also I want to meet techie people.. [15:55] any suggestions? [15:56] 1) Talk to genii_around when he's around. He doesn't appear to be currently. [15:56] 2) Hacklab.to! http://hacklab.to/ Check out one of their open nights. [15:58] 3) The folks at FreeGeek Toronto seem pretty awesome. I believe they're always looking for volunteers... http://freegeektoronto.org/ [15:58] 4) Host an Ubuntu Hour! http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour [15:59] If you choose 4 (and I highly recommend it), let us know here and on the mailing list and we can help spread the word. [16:00] That should get you started. :D [16:01] thanks a lot. [16:01] No problem! :D [16:02] how long have you been using Ubuntu? [16:04] Since 2005. Full time since 2008. [16:04] (well, if you include work in "full time", then since 2011...) [16:04] interesting. [16:05] I work as a IT operations support in a MS Windows environment. [16:05] That would make it hard to use Ubuntu at work... :) [16:05] But I have ubuntu in my personal desktop at home. [16:05] yes, I can't use it. Can you? [16:05] What I have noticed here in Canada, most companies are MS based.. [16:06] Yeah. I'm a software developer at Open Text. I'm developing an eclipse plugin, so nothing's Windows-specific. [16:06] True... [16:06] great [16:06] that's why It is handy to you. [16:06] what I have now is ubuntu 12.04, I tried 12.10 but It didn't give me good results. [16:07] too slow and errors when using virtual box. [16:07] I have some VMs win server2008 and also ubuntu server with LAMP [16:07] I'm finding the unity webapp stuff to be a bit crashy, but haven't had any problems otherwise. [16:08] good for you, I will keep the 12.04 till they correct some bugs. [16:09] Yeah, I'm still on 12.04 at work. I figure sticking to LTSes is safer there. [16:13] great. [16:13] in your company do they use ubuntu server? [16:16] I am leaving to have breakfast now. IT was a pleasure dscassel. [16:21] a quick questions, what is the best way to program in c++ on ubuntu? [16:21] any suggestions? [16:36] if JemSoft comes back, tell him to ping me, I can probably answer his technical questions [16:40] Okay. [16:40] I had to go afk for a minute. :/ [16:40] (or 20...) [17:56] bregma, dscassel: Also, if JemSoft comes back tell him about TLUG: http://gtalug.org/wiki/Main_Page [19:19] Hola [19:19] Hi [19:20] bregma: ping [19:21] JemSoft: http://gtalug.org/wiki/Main_Page BobJonkman thought you would be interested [19:24] thanks a lot idleOne [19:25] I went out for a while. Were you the guy I was talking this morning? [19:27] I wasn't here earlier. [19:31] What's your favorite distro?> [19:32] hehe funny question === J2 is now known as Jaguar [19:34] Hi Jaguar [19:37] hi JemSoft [19:37] how's it going? [19:37] its going ok here heh [19:38] i have that effect on everyone [19:42] Hi [19:55] lol Jaguar :) [22:39] Grey Cup kickoff in ~40 minutes :-) [22:39] * genii-around hollers out "Lets Go Argos!" [22:45] Is not on network tv? [22:45] only TSN seems to have it here. [22:45] I don't have TSN [22:46] Ah, that sucks. I thought for sure it would be on CBC though [22:47] doesn't appear to be [22:48] Go Calgary, because I'm from Montreal and genetically unable to cheer for a Toronto team. [22:48] Hehehe [22:48] I understand and forgive you. [22:49] Kindness will not get me to change. [22:49] :-D [22:51] My brother-in-law is from LaSalle and an avid Habs fan. When I visit over holidays and there is a Toronto-Montreal game on, my sister takes the kids and goes down the street so we can heckle each other [22:51] haha [22:53] One year I got the kids NHL pajamas, one Habs, one Leafs set. Somehow the Leafs set got "accidentally mangled in the washing machine" [22:53] So silly, I can listen to the game live stream from TSN radio but I can't watch it :/ [22:56] Yeah that is pretty weird [23:02] hey people, it is very cold. [23:35] hi there
