[22:49] Ubuntu Openbox Remix is in my mind :D [22:49] spread the word, find people to help improve it, test it... use it ! [22:50] well here is Ubuntu women project, I'm a woman, I lead a project and... there are not enough women on the forum where I am... [22:50] LinuxVillage :) [22:51] hmm, yeah, when i searched i found this: http://www.linuxvillage.net/t277-Ubuntu-Openbox-Remix-to-test.htm [22:51] there are one or two more, but they didn't post yet... [22:51] :D [22:51] bravo !! [22:51] i saw a cool tweet today about pyladies being 20% of the population [22:51] the new linuxvillage is here : http://beta.linuxvillage.net [22:51] ok [22:52] I don't code, I only know how to put pieces together and sometimes I am lucky coders are interested to help add what lacks to join the pieces [22:53] "Holy effing crap. We're over 20% women. #pycon #pyladies" -- https://twitter.com/roguelynn/status/313319776149729280 [22:53] this is ubuntu rc7 thread http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,198.0.html and there has been RC8 and after that Bento1 [22:53] coding starts with putting pieces together. you should keep it up :) [22:54] I have been doing that for several years in another distro and now I learn to do it the Ubuntu way [22:54] I am not going to leave it, it's a global project [22:55] here is RC8 : http://meets.free.fr/debian/images/obubuntu-RC8-menus.png [22:55] nice [22:55] and Bento1 has a more classic openbox theme, added Brasero, and fixed a little glitch [22:56] there are a few more little glitches and three big works to do on it... not a problem for use once installed though [22:56] thanks [22:56] Bento1 is here : http://tyruiop.eu/~melodie/Downloads/ISOS/Ubuntu/ [22:56] RC3 is a minimal, not as up to date... [22:57] pdurbin what about you ? [22:57] have you projects ? [23:02] oh, sure [23:03] https://github.com/pdurbin?tab=activity [23:03] (warning: I am not a woman) [23:03] * melodie visit [23:03] pdurbin ok, I'm not sexist [23:03] :D [23:03] heh. good [23:04] not sure I get it : do you develop in Java, in Python, in Perl, or in the three ? [23:05] at my new job it's Java. previously mostly Perl. a tiny bit of Python [23:05] alright [23:06] oh, you're welcome to promote your projects to this linux-related community: http://crimsonfu.github.com [23:06] do you contribute for new projects sometimes ? [23:06] whose is it ? [23:07] whose community? mine I guess. I started it :) I need a place for sysadmins to chat. the channel logs are here: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/today [23:07] "crimsonfu is a group of sysadmins who code." [23:07] yes [23:07] I don't code. :'( [23:07] meh, that's ok [23:07] I can only align a few chains in bash, and not many [23:08] align chains? that sounds like bioinformatics [23:08] I look at your channel logs [23:08] chain characters :D [23:08] ok :) [23:09] if you test the ubuntu openbox test spins, you will find a Exec= command line in a lonely /usr/share/applications/ desktop file [23:09] in the Applications > Preferences menus there is an entry to reconfigure the keyboard to your need. [23:10] this is the Debian command line which I never remember about and is so useful [23:11] and the program lxkeyboard does not work, and does not keep the configuration so I decided to start it from a maximized console (until someone fixes the gui app... ) [23:11] this is about the best I know to do in a shell [23:11] and in desktop files [23:12] but I am starting to know a bit about the system though, this is what I learned most [23:12] sounds useful [23:12] anyone who may have the need for a very light, optimized, and still easy desktop may want to have it [23:13] even on the new fancy tablets and stuff : just remove the panel, put icons there... perhaps a pair of xfce panels with quick launchers setup to autohide : what more is needed ? [23:13] :D [23:13] do you know zram module ? [23:14] you know what ? I like that "When In Doubt, Make It Public" [23:14] a lot [23:15] me too. i tend to hang out in channels (like this one) that are logged: http://wiki.greptilian.com/haunts [23:16] I mean... if I'm going to write, I'd might as well save it, and be able to link to it [23:16] ok [23:16] I haven't added this channel yet because it's so quiet [23:17] * pdurbin runs /names [23:17] 25 nicks in here... [23:17] I'd be very honored to become member of your crimsonfu place, just what can I do there ? [23:17] you can ask and answer questions, like the rest of us [23:17] is crimson related to the king crimson old group ? [23:17] :) [23:18] hmm, no... :) [23:18] do you know their music ? [23:18] (70's) [23:18] i don't, but i sounds familiar [23:19] you know, i bet there are some openbox users #crimsonfu... [23:19] it was heard as a bit wild at the time [23:19] yeah, openbox: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/search.pl?channel=crimsonfu&nick=&q=openbox [23:20] pdurbin the truth is that all the project I am leading around it is built on one small application formerly written in lua, then ported to C by someone who wants his desktop to be light, and easy to manager [23:20] -r [23:20] manage [23:20] this is openbox-menu [23:21] pdurbin a chan, and any other place where to log/subscribe to ? ml ? else ? [23:21] subscribe to crimsonfu? [23:22] I have been using Archlinux mainly since the beginning of 2006. you ? [23:22] yes [23:22] i use red hat stuff primarily [23:22] * pdurbin ducks [23:22] :D [23:23] some people from Redhat have helped me solve tricky stuff for another distro where I contributed, in the paste [23:23] i guess you could put this in your rss reader: https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com/commits/master.atom [23:23] but when "In doubt I wanted to ask advice publicly" : I have been banned. XD [23:23] oh wait, google reader is dead [23:24] then we created LinuxVillage. :) [23:24] I don't read RSS anymore, only news at the LinuxVillage forum, and a few mailing lists [23:24] so linuxvillage is supposed to be more friendly? [23:24] it is very friendly [23:25] friendly is good [23:25] it has the usual blabla at registering, then our rules at the Debian and LinuxChix rules: be polite, be helpful [23:25] and that's it. [23:25] "king crimson" -- http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-03-19#i_6606742 :) [23:26] what is it there ? [23:26] I don't even know what "luddite" means [23:26] "speaking of music, crimsonfu reminded someone of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Crimson " [23:26] oh [23:27] a luddite is someone who doesn't like technology [23:27] oh ? I wonder what the translation would be in French [23:27] they destroyed the machines that would take their jobs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite [23:27] ah [23:27] I see [23:28] I remember now [23:28] http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddisme [23:28] the guy's at LinuxVillage told me about it and I discovered something very new [23:28] yes, I've seen the two places, really interesting : [23:28] ! [23:31] ah, I see. different languages on linuxvillage [23:31] pdurbin I just stumbled upon one of your pages, at wordpress [23:31] http://beta.linuxvillage.net has French and English [23:31] wordpress? i don't have a wordpress site... [23:31] we are almost like a real village :D [23:32] no ? [23:32] ok [23:32] that's a quote from you then [23:32] have a link? [23:32] looked too fast here : http://greptilian.com/ [23:32] it refers to grep, right ? [23:32] yep [23:33] that's my site [23:33] grep and find are my best friends [23:33] +1 [23:33] well, ack is better than grep [23:33] I found a js quote I think, that leads here: https://perennialmillennial.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/the-programmer-hierarchy [23:33] I have to discover then [23:33] ack 1.96 -- better than grep, a source code search tool for programmers - http://betterthangrep.com/ [23:34] you probably know the drak control center from mandriva, written in Perl ? [23:35] hmm, nope [23:35] I try to grab a pic ? [23:35] i've never used mandriva [23:36] I have been using one of it's forks for about 3 years [23:36] http://www.freetechie.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/pclinuxos_apps_control_center.jpg [23:37] this works so well, be it gui or the console versions for tty's, with the different drak tools [23:37] hmm. new to me [23:37] all the drak tools are written in Perl [23:38] Mandriva / Mandrake before, now Mageia use it, and PCLinuxOS since it was forked first from Mandrake back in 2003 [23:38] its the most reliable admin tool ever [23:39] what makes it differ from other control centers is that it is desktop agnostic : only admin tools are gathered there, not any tool related to a specific destkop [23:39] and this is very clever [23:39] I find Perl to be quite reliable [23:40] I find this tool and the set that goes with it particularly well thought [23:40] you install a new admin tool : it appears in the main gui [23:40] you remove it (ie : 3D) it disappears. and each one works great most of the time [23:41] nice [23:41] :) [23:41] this lacks in other gui distributions, imo [23:43] is #crimsonfu on freenode ? [23:43] yep [23:46] coming [23:46] ... [23:46] heh [23:46] ? [23:49] there you are: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-03-19#i_6606775 [23:50] I now where I am, thanks. :D [23:50] do a "whois" on my nick ? [23:52] pdurbin $ sudo pacman -S ack [23:52] Cibles (2) : perl-file-next-1.10-2 ack-1.96-1 [23:52] I'll try using it
