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