[03:12] <Takyoji[laptop]> People are still alive here? :P
[03:13] <Takyoji[laptop]> Are there still the TIES installfests going on each release, or has that died?
[03:14] <Takyoji[laptop]> (since the topic refers to a 11.10 installfest)
[03:17] <mathomastech> Not to much chatter in this channel but there are a handful of us idling. I can't speak to TIES installfests but the Northfield Linux User Group (NORLUG) has been revived and is holding regular meeting and install fests including Ubuntu 14.04 on April 17th. http://www.norlug.org/meetings/2014/04/17/Ubuntu1404ReleaseParty.html
[03:21] <Takyoji[laptop]> yay
[03:21] <Takyoji[laptop]> and NORLUG would certainly be much closer for me
[03:21] <Takyoji[laptop]> as I'm in Faribault
[03:21] <Takyoji[laptop]> and just came from a meeting in Northfield today, after all
[03:23] <Takyoji[laptop]> But in general though (outside of general LUGs), it seems like Ubuntu LoCo teams have just died in entirety almost, a lot of the relevant IRC channels for Ubuntu LoCo (for team leaders and so on) seem pretty inactive, last I checked a while ago
[03:23] <Takyoji[laptop]> If only there was another unified effort like Ubuntu LoCo, but not circling around a specific distro.
[03:24] <Takyoji[laptop]> Or at least a national website for such
[03:52] <mathomastech> It's hit and miss it seams. The ubuntu-us-mi channel is very active with a great group of guys. I lived out there before moving to MN.
[03:52] <Takyoji[laptop]> ahh
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji[laptop]: There was an installfest at TIES for 13.10, and I expect there will be for 14.04, but after that we may move to an LTS-only model for those, or attempt to dramatically alter expectations for what those entail.  (WAY too much "figure out how to make my eight billion year old hardware work" rather than actually dealing with the new release)
[03:54] <Takyoji[laptop]> Also, ubuntu-minnesota.org is blank (at least on an IPv6 connection)
[03:54] <tonyyarusso> Twin Cities schedule: http://penguinsunbound.com/Meetings
[03:54] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji[laptop]: huh, that's new
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> "HP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function content_types() in /home/drupal/sites6/any/modules/date/date/date.module on line 52"
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> err, *PHP
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> awesome
[03:56] <tonyyarusso> We really really need to get this site off Drupal 6 if it's going to keep existing
[03:56] <Takyoji[laptop]> Also, this is one thing I really notice hardcore: apparently for a lot of LUG websites, I see a strong favoritism towards Drupal, while everything else (that I work on, and develop themes for) are WordPress.
[03:56] <Takyoji[laptop]> As if "WordPress isn't open source enough to us" or something. xP
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> Drupal's just more awesome than WordPress.
[03:57] <Takyoji[laptop]> Whelp, if you need me to do a modernized theme, I suppose I could (if there isn't something already)
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> The Ubuntu theme project was abandoned, so yeah, we'd need a new one.
[03:58] <Takyoji[laptop]> I just haven't had a lot of love for Drupal yet, but considering the jump to Symfony 2, it may get more appealing [to me]
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> Something that matches 14.04's default desktop style would be good.
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> I may have to just set it to the default for now just to get it upgraded
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> It's the only D6 site I'm still running
[03:58] <Takyoji[laptop]> That'd be the most sane option, is go with an up-to-date stock theme in the meantime
[03:59] <Takyoji[laptop]> But gee, WordPress themes from like the stone ages still run today, last I notice. xP
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> There, killed the date module so at least now it loads
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> not sure what that was about
[04:03] <Takyoji[laptop]> for a theme: maybe throw the stock Ubuntu wallpaper in the background, have a white foreground, dark text, black navigation bar, dark purple or orange for heading colors?
[04:14] <Takyoji[laptop]> at least for it to be "Unity-ish", if that doesn't sound like a horrible idea. xP
[04:14] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji[laptop]: http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/colour-palette, http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo
[04:15] <tonyyarusso> We can probably just change the colors of the default theme and call it a day
[04:18] <Takyoji[laptop]> Apply the latest default theme, and we'll see if it's workable
[04:38] <Takyoji[laptop]> Oy, just checked the TIES installfest date, and it's like a month and a half after the actual release (April 17 is the release; while May 31st is the installfest)
