| airurando | evening mokmeister and andru183 | 18:55 |
|---|---|---|
| mokmeister | hello airurando , how are you tonight? | 18:56 |
| airurando | good mokmeister | 18:56 |
| airurando | and you | 18:56 |
| airurando | mokmeister: looking at the irc logs I read your chat with andru183 a while back | 18:58 |
| airurando | good stuff | 18:58 |
| mokmeister | yes, indeed, I'm grand now, kids are settling back into school, all good! | 18:59 |
| airurando | snap | 18:59 |
| mokmeister | yeah, we were chatting there the other night | 18:59 |
| airurando | kids also settling back now | 18:59 |
| airurando | it was good to see andru183 set up | 19:00 |
| airurando | reboot the reboot | 19:00 |
| mokmeister | twould be good to sort something out for the global jam | 19:00 |
| mokmeister | yes indeed! :D | 19:00 |
| mokmeister | I think if we came up with some kind of plan for ubuntu-ie, mech the plan with release schedules, it might help organize the whole thing a bit better, what do you think? | 19:01 |
| airurando | on that.... | 19:01 |
| airurando | last reboot I proposed | 19:01 |
| mokmeister | mesh rather than mech, is what I meant to say! | 19:02 |
| airurando | http://pix.ie/ubuntuie/3319678/size/800 | 19:02 |
| mokmeister | ok, hang on a sec... | 19:02 |
| airurando | only an idea | 19:02 |
| airurando | thought it fitted in well with the cadence | 19:03 |
| airurando | and was only put forward as a starting point, to be added to or to be further minimised. | 19:03 |
| airurando | got no traction on it | 19:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | group is too small to get much effort going | 19:04 |
| airurando | hi zmoylan-pi | 19:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | hey all | 19:04 |
| airurando | alas I agree zmoylan-pi | 19:05 |
| mokmeister | yep, looks good. What if we were to go with something like that, and then we get anyone interested in participating to agree to do something specific for each event? | 19:05 |
| mokmeister | hi zmoylan-pi | 19:05 |
| mokmeister | From the smallest seed great things grow! ;) | 19:06 |
| mokmeister | and all that! | 19:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | trying to raise the profile of ubuntu is difficult when the linux community is wary of it now and the rest of thw world uses windows/mac | 19:06 |
| airurando | It's hard to find the right path | 19:06 |
| mokmeister | I think if we have agreed actions and targets it might actually work a bit better? | 19:07 |
| mokmeister | airurando: True | 19:07 |
| airurando | I've been on contact with coderdojo | 19:07 |
| airurando | happy to say several dojos around the country have accepted DVDs. | 19:07 |
| airurando | I hope to build on that | 19:07 |
| mokmeister | airurando: Great! | 19:07 |
| airurando | slow burner | 19:08 |
| mokmeister | which dojos? | 19:08 |
| airurando | let me check | 19:08 |
| airurando | Carrick on Suir | 19:09 |
| airurando | Claremorris | 19:09 |
| airurando | Moville | 19:09 |
| airurando | Mountbellew | 19:10 |
| airurando | Dungarvan | 19:10 |
| airurando | Clonakilty | 19:11 |
| airurando | and finally so far..... | 19:11 |
| airurando | Ballinamore | 19:11 |
| airurando | Oh and of course Athy :-D | 19:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's some good coverage | 19:11 |
| airurando | blog post on the long finger about it | 19:12 |
| airurando | CoderDojo central have been very positive and helpful | 19:12 |
| airurando | Tried Mens sheds also but no bites there :-( | 19:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | aren't mens sheds aimed at older crowd? | 19:15 |
| airurando | zmoylan-pi: all me particularly those with lots of time on their hands | 19:15 |
| airurando | sometimes they have a techie who refurbishes old machines to sell on for funding | 19:16 |
| airurando | zmoylan-pi: all meN particularly those with lots of time on their hands | 19:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | so might be below par in terms of knowledge of i.t. | 19:17 |
| airurando | the guy here in athy was keen | 19:18 |
| airurando | but that may be the exception | 19:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | it might take more than just sending dvds | 19:18 |
| airurando | zmoylan-pi: i haven't sent DVDs to any mens shed yet | 19:19 |
| airurando | only coderdojos that specifically requested them | 19:19 |
| mokmeister | airurando: zmoylan-pi I just checked up the men's sheds website and there is a men's shed festival to be held in Dublin in October, I wonder would that be worth sending some DVDs to? | 19:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | or even seeing if we could do a talk at? | 19:20 |
| mokmeister | Indeed, maybe an install fest or something, show the guys what's involved in putting Ubuntu on refurbed PCs? | 19:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | of course installing on uefi is still an unpleasent experience | 19:25 |
| airurando | sorry dishwasher duties | 19:28 |
| mokmeister | Can't say I've really had the pleasure! | 19:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | only the once, ick | 19:28 |
| mokmeister | Still messing around with pre-uefi hw | 19:28 |
| airurando | mokmeister: you volunteering for that talk? | 19:29 |
| airurando | tdr112 you about? | 19:29 |
| airurando | mokmeister: could you provide a link to the mens shed festival? | 19:30 |
| airurando | zmoylan-pi: with my severe lack of geek creds I put a disclaimer in against uefi | 19:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | it may be it's gotten better but once bitten... | 19:31 |
| mokmeister | airurando: http://menssheds.ie/2014/08/13/the-international-mens-shed-festival-2014-dublin/ | 19:31 |
| mokmeister | ermm, I dunno what way I'm fixed for heading to Dublin in October, let me think about it. | 19:33 |
| airurando | mokmeister: I like your idea and I've checked my shift pattern. I am off on 4th of October and I don't know of any family event planned for that day yet. | 19:38 |
| mokmeister | What say I am on for it, how do I go about it? Do I just approach the organizers and suggest that I'd like to do a talk on Ubuntu, FOSS and open source? | 19:38 |
| airurando | I'd support you | 19:38 |
| airurando | John seems to be Irish head | 19:39 |
| airurando | he was initially contacted through: info@menssheds.ie<info@menssheds.ie>; | 19:40 |
| airurando | and always replied through that e-mail address | 19:40 |
| mokmeister | hmmmm, ok | 19:41 |
| airurando | IF you are available and IF you can do a talk or man a stand then I'd suggest giving John a buzz on that address | 19:41 |
| airurando | zmoylan-pi: what do you think? | 19:42 |
| mokmeister | alright, one sec, gotta go afk, coming up to bedtime, will be back soon. | 19:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's an idea worth thinking about. even if we come with a standard spiel about linux/foss it might be used at other events? | 19:43 |
| tdr112 | airurando: yo | 19:51 |
| airurando | hi tdr112 | 19:51 |
| airurando | what do you think about the above? | 19:52 |
| airurando | back in a min | 19:53 |
| tdr112 | i had planned on going to it | 19:58 |
| airurando | back again. | 20:12 |
| airurando | tdr112: any interest in supporting a ubuntu initiave as outlined above? | 20:14 |
| tdr112 | airurando: I am not sure I follow what the idea was to do | 20:16 |
| airurando | mokmeister: suggested a possible talk on refurbing older machines with Ubuntu | 20:17 |
| airurando | possibly a stand with DVDa | 20:18 |
| airurando | DVDs | 20:18 |
| tdr112 | I can sure help out | 20:20 |
| airurando | brill, me to if it pans out | 20:20 |
| mokmeister | hiya! I'm back! | 20:20 |
| mokmeister | so... | 20:21 |
| airurando | mokmeister: read above, are you on? | 20:22 |
| mokmeister | just looking at my calender, I don't have anything else on that day.... | 20:22 |
| mokmeister | Alright so, I suppose the plan of action is like this, let me think... | 20:23 |
| airurando | oh..... good | 20:23 |
| airurando | do you want to email John with the query? | 20:23 |
| mokmeister | ok, I suppose the first thing to do is contact John and see if he is receptive to the idea | 20:23 |
| airurando | go for it mokmeister!! | 20:25 |
| mokmeister | will do. | 20:26 |
| mokmeister | I'll email John and ask if we can set up a stand and maybe either do a talk on ubuntu / foss or do a demo on installing ubuntu on a PC. | 20:27 |
| mokmeister | I have a laptop that I could bring with a spare hdd that I could do a fresh install on for the day. | 20:27 |
| mokmeister | I could also bring along my nexus 4 and show off ubuntu touch to anyone interested. | 20:28 |
| mokmeister | Do we have any existing material for doing a talk? | 20:28 |
| airurando | oh | 20:29 |
| mokmeister | It shouldn't be too hard to hack something together, I suppose we need to find out how far we can go with our target audience first | 20:29 |
| airurando | czajkowski: did many talks | 20:30 |
| mokmeister | I'll email John so. Will I send the email onto the mailing list first to see what ye think or will I just go ahead? | 20:32 |
| airurando | do you want a copy of my initial verbal gobbly de gook e-mail ( I did put some thought into it and it might make a slide or two) | 20:33 |
| airurando | send it on yourself | 20:33 |
| mokmeister | ok and ok! :) | 20:33 |
| tdr112 | cool | 20:38 |
| airurando | night all, I hope things pick up soon. | 21:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | when the sheep herds are fans... :-p | 21:13 |
