=== pace_t_zulu is now known as 14WABNVJ0 [11:12] wrst: I haven't done anything with that website in a loooong time. [11:13] Svpernova09 hosts the site now. [11:19] jshanks24: meetings died because no one cared to schedule them. When they were scheduled no one showed up. On the rare occasion someone did show up, it was rife with politics. I made a pretty big fuss about it but nothing has changed. There is a blog post on the site about it. [11:20] howdy netritious :) [11:20] howdy wrst :) cold out your way? [11:20] jshanks24: http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/2012/announcements/leadership-elections/ [11:23] not as cold as predicted, its 10 [11:23] how about you? [11:23] ew whee that's cold! [11:23] yeah, freezing here [11:23] I think tonight supposed to drop below 0 again [11:24] we had about 3-5" of snow [11:24] or I should say 3-5" of "flurries" [11:25] egad, not as cold here.... 31 [11:25] with wind chill later today temps are supposed to drop :/ [11:26] but on the loco stuff I hate to say it in here I'm not for sure its hardly worth the effort, I think ubuntu is becoming much less community oriented anyway [11:26] for me it was less about ubuntu and more about community [11:26] Temp: 7 F (-14 C) ~ light snow ~ Windchill: -9 F (-23 C) ~ Humidity: 84% [11:26] :D [11:27] wow Unit193, guess I'm living like it's Florida :) [11:27] wrst: I still maintain the Xubuntu community is good! [11:27] (And by extension, what little Ubuntustuio community there is) [11:27] Unit193: that's all well and good but Ubuntu proper is garbage as far as their concern for community [11:28] wrst: rarely do I recall anyone talking about ubuntu at a local meetup. [11:28] wrst: Depends, factions are good, factions are bad. [11:28] *I recall ubuntu only being mentioned in passing, not as the focus of the meetup [11:28] Unit193: I have a CLA you can sign! [11:28] NTY. :D [11:29] Unit193: that kills community at a much higher level and makes locos useless [11:29] that being said this is a good group of people :) [11:29] netritious: what was the purpose then? :) [11:30] mostly wrst, except that guy Unit193...idk what his deal is [11:30] :D [11:30] ha ha [11:30] wrst: the purpose of the meetups? to commune with each other? [11:31] but really the hoops required just to become Ubuntu blessed loco were nuts especially for a group like this with so much geogrophy to cover [11:31] they were obviously thinking of urban areas and not of locations like ours [11:31] netritious: so you communed but just not about ubuntu :) [12:51] There is a login for the host if someone needs access :D [12:51] I log in and make sure it's updated when i do the rounds with the rest of my WP sites [13:09] wrst: well yes and no...ubuntu was talked about, but wasn't really the focus of discussion, at least not what I can recall. [13:10] hey Svpernova09 [15:56] anyone use pfsense? [15:56] besides me [17:31] netritious: I have thought about using pfsense :) [17:31] so that doesn't really qualify ;) === jeremy_ is now known as Guest93958 [20:23] What are the benefits of being an "Ubuntu Community" official or not vs setting up an independent community that follows its own rules? [20:23] Just thinking outside the box here [21:46] b/c ubuntu has clout [21:46] and random other community does not [23:11] jshanks24: in reality we dont get presed cds or a banner thing for tech show type things [23:11] Stash. [23:12] i think in community terms ubuntu is getting less relavent as far as true community goes, but it is no doubt the big dog still [23:12] Unit193: exactly [23:14] and i am admittedly a little not on team ubuntu exactly like i was at one time [23:14] ^ is just cranky. [23:14] i do hope they do well but... [23:14] Unit193: yes [23:15] i think i may grow a neckbeard and start moaning on mailing list about mundane things no one cares about :) [23:15] ha [23:16] i thought everyone did that wrst [23:17] No, I'm hip and new, I output to IRC (just not here, dangit, ubuntulog_.) [23:18] ha ha netritious === Omnifrog_ is now known as DJOmnifrog_
