[15:04] <belkinsa> Is anyone having a hard time connecting to the Ubuntu wiki?
[15:06] <dsmythies> Note just now, but over the last few days somtimes it seems to take forever.
[15:07] <belkinsa> Thanks.  I need those bot commands.
[15:08] <dsmythies> Ya, I'm hoping for help with that, which is why I was looking for jose over on that other IRC
[15:09] <belkinsa> Same, it's the first time that I'm teaching a class.
[15:09] <dsmythies> me too.
[15:10] <dsmythies> godbyk: Are you around? After all of our IRC yesterday, I had an idea.
[15:17] <belkinsa> Well, this sucks.  If users can not connect to the wiki then how will they play around while I teach the class?
[15:20] <dsmythies> belkinsa: I have no problem with wiki access at the moment. (and I printed the class bot stuff, after you remined me.)
[15:20] <knome> oh, doc day
[15:21] <belkinsa> Smart move.
[15:22] <knome> i can access the wiki
[15:22] <belkinsa> No luck here still.
[15:23] <knome> seems to be pretty snappy for me
[15:24] <knome> belkinsa, did you have a sandbox-page set up for people to edit, or did you have something else in mind?
[15:25] <belkinsa> Didn't think of that.
[15:25]  * belkinsa facepalms
[15:25] <knome> also remember that only one people can actually *edit* a page at the same time
[15:25] <knome> so you might want a sandbox page with users creating subpages into it
[15:25] <knome> though if you want some example content...
[15:26] <belkinsa> Okay, if the wiki connects for me.
[15:26] <belkinsa> ...
[15:26] <belkinsa> This is not my day.
[15:28] <belkinsa> Are you going around when I teach my class, knome?
[15:28] <knome> umm, tbh, i don't know
[15:28] <knome> possibly
[15:29] <belkinsa> Because I'm having issues connecting.
[15:29] <belkinsa> stupid ice storm
[15:29] <knome> surely there are other people around who can help
[15:29] <belkinsa> Good point.
[15:44] <knome> i can help as well if i'm around.
[16:26] <godbyk> dsmythies: What was your idea?
[16:26] <godbyk> Sorry I'm late, everyone.
[16:29] <dsmythies> godbyk: Upon further reflection, it wasn't such a gret idea after all.
[16:29] <godbyk> dsmythies: Ah, rats!
[16:34] <dsmythies> godbyk: It was just a way of moving my package install command way up in the schedule, but making it seem as though you and I planned it rather than the "Oh my goodenss" that it was. I have asked Lyz, to ask people to execurte the command in the background at the end of her session.
[16:34] <godbyk> dsmythies: Ah, gotcha.
[16:35] <godbyk> dsmythies: I'm planning on starting out by talking about how people can get started with docs in kind of a general way. But if I have time toward the end, I'll try to walk them through the ssh-keygen and bzr stuff. We'll see how it goes.
[16:37] <dsmythies> godbyk: I have notes on the bzr and ssh key stuff, just in case I need them. You are welcome to them: http://www.smythies.com/~doug/linux/ubuntu-docs/temp-classroom/class_script_alt.txt
[16:37] <godbyk> dsmythies: Thanks!
[16:54] <godbyk> Cookies for breakfast are okay when you're an adult, right?
[16:56] <pleia2> yep
[17:03]  * knome just had semlor... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semla
[17:04] <pleia2> last night I had alfajores that jose brought me from peru
[17:04] <pleia2> they were tastey :d
[17:05] <knome> hehe
[18:04] <godbyk> I have to go shovel a bunch of snow, but I'll be back in a bit.
[18:46] <godbyk> Back now. There's slightly less snow on my sidewalks now.
[22:44] <GunnarHj> Good evening!
[22:44] <belkinsa> Hey there, GunnarHj.
[22:44] <GunnarHj> Hi belkinsa
[22:45] <GunnarHj> Just reviewed the irc-log from today's event.
[22:45] <belkinsa> I just going to ask if you were there.
[22:45] <GunnarHj> Noticed two persons who probably should be contacted.
[22:45] <GunnarHj> https://launchpad.net/~jose
[22:45] <GunnarHj> https://launchpad.net/~jsjgruber
[22:46] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: No, had not the opportunity to be there at the time.
[22:47] <belkinsa> But you were lurking
[22:47] <belkinsa> And why those two need to be contacted?
[22:47] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Only the last part. ;-)
[22:47] <belkinsa> Ah, I have join/part messages off.
[22:48] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Because they showed an interest in the docs... Prospective contributors.
[22:50] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Maybe something for pleia2?
[22:50] <belkinsa> Ah, I see.
[22:50] <belkinsa> Jose was helping us in the classroom backstage if we needed it.
[22:51] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Aha, didn't know that.
[22:51] <belkinsa> And I didn't not know that he wanted to help the Doc Team.
[22:52] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: I don't know either. But he asked a few good questions.
[22:52] <belkinsa> I bet he knew the answers but I think it was for the rest.
[22:52] <GunnarHj> Maybe..
[22:53] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Are you basically saying that we didn't succeed in getting more people in?
[22:54] <belkinsa> No, I'm not saying that.
[22:54] <belkinsa> I think most people are just quiet/shy to ask questions during the sessions and Jose was doing that for them.
[22:54] <belkinsa> ...
[22:54] <belkinsa> Never mind.
[22:55] <GunnarHj> belkinsa: Ok, so we'll have to wait and see, is that what you mean?
[22:55] <belkinsa> Maybe.
[22:58] <knome> so how many people talked in -chat during the day, apart from people who were organizing it?
[22:59] <belkinsa> Two or three, I believe.
[22:59] <belkinsa> It was benonsoftware and two others.
[23:01] <belkinsa> No, it was benonsoftware and three others.  Two of them only said one line.
[23:01] <belkinsa> Three, if you include benonsoftware.
[23:22] <pleia2> jsjgruber is the guy who maintains lernid these days, so he often lurks during sessions to tests his new things ;)
[23:23] <belkinsa> I have looked at Lernid.  It looks useful and more than just using IRC for classrooms.  dsmythies's session is a good example.
[23:25] <pleia2> it has a terminal built in for things like dsmythies' session
[23:26] <belkinsa> Yup, I had an afterthought about that.
