Squirm | morning | 05:49 |
ThatGraemeGuy | mornings | 05:56 |
Symmetria | why do technical meetings always have to start with a bunch of speeches that are nothing more than political cocksucking | 05:57 |
ThatGraemeGuy | lol | 06:00 |
Symmetria | seriously, its a case of "zomg we're so wonderful, and we'll suck the cocks of every politician in 100 mile radius just to make sure they think so as well" | 06:00 |
Symmetria | Im like, they are just people, the same as all of us, DO something and I will respect you for it, but I aint gonna respect someone just for a position | 06:01 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yeah, i don't enjoy environments like that either | 06:02 |
ThatGraemeGuy | i've only has 1 job at a big corporate and I wasn't even there for a year before I packed it in | 06:03 |
Symmetria | heh this isn't a corporate, Im at an afrinic meeting | 06:04 |
Symmetria | opening ceremony | 06:04 |
Symmetria | I find the political crap so disingenuous though | 06:04 |
ThatGraemeGuy | same thing | 06:04 |
ThatGraemeGuy | corporates have the same political crap, but it isn't unique to them | 06:05 |
Symmetria | heh, nah, the corporate political crap is there, but it aint half as bad :) well, it aint in any corporate I'd ever work for and I work for some pretty large ones | 06:06 |

somaunn | hi guys | 15:54 |
Kilos | whats news somaunn | 15:54 |
somaunn | good Kilos | 15:54 |
Kilos | thats good | 15:54 |
somaunn | wish i could get some advices | 15:54 |
Kilos | oh i found a site where you can download free linux books | 15:55 |
Kilos | one was redhat or fedora | 15:55 |
Kilos | ill try find it just now | 15:55 |
somaunn | i want to organize in-house hackfest or hack parties but still I odn't how they are organized | 15:55 |
Kilos | didnt i leave a message with maaz for you? | 15:55 |
somaunn | Kilos: i receved it, Maaz did deliver it to me | 15:56 |
Kilos | for starters you make sure you got good internet then you invite geeks | 15:56 |
Kilos | ah good | 15:56 |
Kilos | then you get each one to bring something different to eat and drink | 15:57 |
somaunn | Kilos: please let me summarize it | 15:58 |
Kilos | lol im just guessing man | 15:59 |
somaunn | 1- Good Internet link | 15:59 |
somaunn | 2- Every person to come with soft drink | 15:59 |
somaunn | 3- invite Geeks | 15:59 |
somaunn | am I right | 15:59 |
somaunn | ? | 15:59 |
Kilos | yeah | 16:00 |
Kilos | also you can contact some before hand to see what theyd like to do then you add what you want to do | 16:00 |
Kilos | what do you want to hack? | 16:01 |
somaunn | Kilos: nice question and that is the first Point ... I though Hackfest was like parties where we come learn then apply learned or acquired tekniks | 16:02 |
Kilos | i thought it was for hacking apps that dont work | 16:03 |
gremble | Pretty sure that both those are valid definitions | 16:03 |
somaunn | Think that's also a point to consider | 16:04 |
gremble | You'd probably have to decide what it is that you want to do | 16:04 |
Kilos | but your main aim is first to get a group together to get to know each other and share ideas | 16:04 |
Kilos | just have a geeknick for starters | 16:05 |
somaunn | first i want it to be a moment where we come and share knowledges by presenting already prepared topics (html5, linux, cli, etc...) | 16:05 |
Kilos | ok | 16:05 |
Kilos | mail them and see who is having the most problems with what then build from there | 16:08 |
somaunn | Kilos: nice ideas | 16:09 |
somaunn | i was also thinking of starting from the begining "Linux: The Basics" | 16:09 |
Kilos | or go with the lpi stuff | 16:10 |
Kilos | Maaz: lpi manuals | 16:10 |
Maaz | Kilos: Huh? | 16:10 |
Kilos | Maaz: lpi manual | 16:10 |
Maaz | http://www.linuxcertification.co.za/sites/default/files/LPIManual_v_09.pdf | 16:10 |
Kilos | just about everything is in there | 16:11 |
somaunn | Well received Kilos | 16:11 |
Kilos | gremble: give advice man | 16:14 |
gremble | On? | 16:14 |
Kilos | on the above stuff | 16:14 |
gremble | Seems like you guys are sorting it out quite nicely | 16:15 |
gremble | Choosing a topic depends on your audience | 16:15 |
Kilos | ive never had a geek party | 16:15 |
gremble | I generally don't play well with people, so I don't attend such things either | 16:15 |
somaunn | gremble: a lot of things needs to be done in this area of the globe | 16:16 |
Kilos | lol | 16:16 |
Kilos | depending on the others is where you start | 16:17 |
Kilos | if the are all IT pros then you might need to skip basics | 16:17 |
Kilos | but if there are noobs too then split the group and do basics with the noobs | 16:18 |
somaunn | wish we could start with "Linux: The Basics" then progressively move to others such as Cisco, html5, php, WiFi, Network troubleshooting etc... | 16:19 |
Kilos | and if someone asks what is sudo then pull your hair out | 16:19 |
somaunn | will focused on noobs then only invite geeks to present topics and animate workshops | 16:20 |
Kilos | the trick is knowing your audience | 16:20 |
Kilos | its good to help noobs and get a couple of pros to help you teach them and it should grow on its own | 16:21 |
somaunn | yeah Kilos now you got it right bro | 16:22 |
Kilos | oh ya in that link i sent you there is a variety of linux books, from beginners to admin | 16:22 |
somaunn | also thinking we can do Ubuntu party sometime | 16:27 |
Kilos | what i like about ubuntu is that mostly everything just works | 16:29 |
Kilos | so not much fixing needed | 16:29 |
somaunn | Yeah Kilos but if things works like that then we won't feel any difference with Win | 16:30 |
Kilos | ubuntu has grown in leaps and bounds since 8.10 | 16:30 |
Kilos | do you prefer fixing things? | 16:31 |
somaunn | yeah sometime, it gives me a better view of the system and I feel like flying | 16:32 |
Kilos | lol | 16:32 |
somaunn | command...command...command.... | 16:32 |
somaunn | like in 24 "the serie" | 16:32 |
Kilos | if you like playing install tinycorelinux and work your way through that | 16:33 |
Kilos | or run it from ram | 16:33 |
somaunn | Kilos: lol | 16:34 |
somaunn | Vbox will be the medium | 16:34 |
somaunn | can't sacrifice an hdd to do tests | 16:34 |
Kilos | ya virtual is good | 16:35 |
Kilos | you can even install on a flash drive | 16:35 |
Kilos | i have a running fully upgraded 12.04.5 running on a 16g stick | 16:36 |
somaunn | cool | 16:36 |
Kilos | ideal tool for booting from and fixing other systems | 16:36 |
somaunn | have to move for hours ... coming back soon | 16:38 |
