| melodie | hi | 13:52 |
|---|---|---|
| pdurbin | good morning | 13:53 |
| melodie | hello pdurbin good morning to you (utc +1 here, it's almost 3 pm) | 13:53 |
| melodie | pdurbin I have finally done the presentation of the ubuntu openbox remix | 13:54 |
| melodie | I want to announce it everywhere so more people can test, and perhaps offer to participate for what is left to do | 13:54 |
| melodie | Bento2 an Ubuntu Openbox Remix - http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,248.msg1704.html#new | 13:54 |
| melodie | :) | 13:55 |
| pdurbin | cool | 13:56 |
| melodie | have you read it already ? | 13:57 |
| pdurbin | skimmed it :) | 13:57 |
| melodie | ok | 13:57 |
| melodie | the main thing with this version is to have a version even lighter, but yet still easy to go for anyone | 13:59 |
| melodie | and easy to use to build another custom version also | 13:59 |
| pdurbin | light is good | 14:03 |
| melodie | it allows having all the resource for apps, which is what I really prefer, over lots of gui features which are not always really needed | 14:10 |
| pdurbin | I stay in the command line as much as possible :) | 14:11 |
| melodie | openbox also allows configuring many shortcuts, for lots of things. I don't use them too much but some have a real talent for that | 14:14 |
| melodie | even tiling is possible | 14:15 |
| pdurbin | I've heard good things about tiling window managers. I just use the stock GNOME 3 from Fedora | 14:15 |
| melodie | ok | 14:16 |
| melodie | is that pytile ? | 14:16 |
| melodie | maybe not... | 14:16 |
| pdurbin | hmm, dunno | 14:17 |
| melodie | http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytile | 14:18 |
| pdurbin | I think that's different than whatever GNOME 3 uses | 14:20 |
| melodie | ok | 14:20 |
| pdurbin | I haven't been very adventurous about using anything but GNOME | 14:22 |
| melodie | if you have 4 or 5 gb available you could try bento2 ideally in Virtualbox | 14:26 |
| melodie | it has the guest packages for it | 14:26 |
| pdurbin | yum. i love virtual box. and vagrant. do you have a vagrant base box for your distro? | 14:29 |
| melodie | first time I hear about vagrant : is it a kind of virtual system ? | 14:30 |
| pdurbin | this is me trying to explain vagrant: http://wiki.greptilian.com/vagrant | 14:30 |
| melodie | I look at the pages from your links | 14:38 |
| melodie | invoking "yaourt vagrant" in archlinux | 14:38 |
| pdurbin | it's hard to explain what vagrant is. does it make sense? | 14:38 |
| melodie | 2 aur/vagrant 1.1.4-1 (35) | 14:38 |
| melodie | Tool for building and distributing virtualized development environments | 14:39 |
| melodie | aur/vagrant-vbguest 0.6.4-1 (5) | 14:39 |
| melodie | a plugin which automatically installs the host's VirtualBox Guest | 14:39 |
| melodie | Additions on the guest system. | 14:39 |
| pdurbin | sounds accurate | 14:41 |
| melodie | I'll install them and if I understand anything I will show it to my companion | 14:42 |
| melodie | he might have some interest for it | 14:43 |
| melodie | pdurbin what about this one ? | 14:43 |
| melodie | 1 aur/ruby-sahara 0.0.11-2 (2) | 14:43 |
| melodie | Tool for sandboxing vagrant images | 14:43 |
| pdurbin | sahara is great for taking snapshots, experimenting with something crazy, and then rolling back to the snapshot if something goes terribly wrong | 14:44 |
| melodie | ok | 14:45 |
| melodie | I would have to get used to the idea, and start trying when I'll have a free moment | 14:46 |
| pdurbin | it took me a while to understand the value of vagrant | 14:48 |
| melodie | I have been doing iso remixed for several years, so I think I could value it very much | 14:49 |
| pdurbin | the world needs more builders of vagrant base boxes :) | 14:50 |
| melodie | for the other types of developments I don't quite see, because I don't code, and I think my companion uses HG (mercurial ?) | 14:50 |
| melodie | I don't know yet what the base box can be | 14:50 |
| melodie | nor how you build it | 14:50 |
| melodie | would you register at LinuxVillage forum to make a speech there about it ? we have a few people who are quite keen with tecnics | 14:51 |
| pdurbin | if you make a base box for your distro you could list it here: A list of base boxes for Vagrant - Vagrantbox.es - http://www.vagrantbox.es | 14:51 |
| melodie | I would not make a base box from a distro which is not yet finished | 14:51 |
| melodie | it lacks the paintings and curtains yet. :) | 14:52 |
| pdurbin | heh | 14:52 |
| pdurbin | hmm, I'm not a big fan of forums but you are welcome to post something and link back to this conversation: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/03/27/%23ubuntu-women-project.html | 14:53 |
| melodie | could you give me the link to the part where you started talking about vagrant ? | 14:56 |
| melodie | the linuxvillage forum people already know about ubuntu openbox remixes... | 14:56 |
| pdurbin | I think you just have to wait for the log bot to catch up | 14:57 |
| melodie | oh I see | 14:57 |
| melodie | however a direct discussion between you and the members of the forum would have been more interesting | 14:58 |
| melodie | there are people from different parts of the world there | 14:58 |
| melodie | US, Australia, Quebec... and many more | 14:59 |
| pdurbin | I do like that you're building a global community | 15:00 |
| melodie | so do we :) | 15:02 |
| pdurbin | do you have a mailing list too? | 15:02 |
| melodie | no we don't. we don't need one and don't have time for that | 15:04 |
| melodie | what we are looking forward to will be a dokuwiki which should be setup by one of our members soon, and we have a chan | 15:05 |
| melodie | #linuxvillage on freenode as well | 15:05 |
| pdurbin | oh, cool. is #linuxvillage logged? | 15:06 |
| melodie | not that I know | 15:06 |
| melodie | how do you log a chan ? | 15:06 |
| pdurbin | like this: https://github.com/dvn/iqirclog-vagrant | 15:06 |
| melodie | we have #old-world as well | 15:06 |
| melodie | pdurbin I am unable to use what you have just shown me, not the level, or not the time, or both | 15:07 |
| melodie | but feel free to come at #linuxvillage and #old-world, and if you find it nice you can log both | 15:08 |
| pdurbin | ok. no worries. you asked... ;) | 15:08 |
| pdurbin | #crimsonfu is logged for free by this nice person: http://perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/an-offer-to-the-perl-community.html ... I suspect he'd log your channel for free too | 15:09 |
| melodie | yes I did, just I had fancied something such as three easy steps :) | 15:09 |
| melodie | that would be nice | 15:10 |
| melodie | pdurbin I might ask them some time, that seems not difficult | 15:11 |
| melodie | pdurbin I quit the chans a little, have some things to do | 15:12 |
| melodie | have a nice day! | 15:12 |
| pdurbin | he's very nice. (moritz) | 15:12 |
| melodie | ok, thank you very much | 15:12 |
| pdurbin | sure | 15:12 |
