[14:50] 20.30 [14:53] ai! [14:54] wat nou weer [14:57] inetpro the g+ automagic is late [14:58] no [14:58] does it remind at 20.25 [14:59] if you use g+ you will have seen enough of the event in the last few days [14:59] i get mails but none today [15:00] it reminds via email from 2 weeks before the time [15:00] you are clearly not a g+ user [15:00] sigh [15:00] it wastes valuable data [15:01] don't worry about it, others use it [15:01] lol [15:06] Hello all! [15:06] hi Mopkop [15:09] woops [15:09] ctrl +w [15:12] kulelu88: Haha, i'm the same. Too much windows... [15:13] On the ubuntu-africa site, can we perhaps say "Join us" instead of "Get involved?" [15:14] thats a good idea in my opinion Mopkop inetpro ^^ [15:32] or even Learn more [15:41] I just thought that since Ubuntu-Africa is a group rather than a project "Join Us" would be much more descriptive. Also it would be easier to make the page, at least for me. [15:42] cool then go for it [15:42] as long as the get ubuntu links are still there i think [15:43] That's on a different page. [15:43] oh ya [15:44] do what you find easiest Mopkop the fly will review it and shout at you if it sucks [15:44] hahaha [15:44] Perhaps IRC should be 'Talk to us' or 'Chat with us' or just 'Chat'. Not everyone will know what is meant by IRC Channel. [15:44] yes [15:45] chat with us [15:45] then you give the link #ubuntu-africa [15:46] Yes, and embed the online IRC client. [15:46] ya that [15:53] Everytime I type in nikola new_page it puts the page in the folder where the conf.py is, instead of "pages". Is this normal? [15:53] hi amanica [15:53] Hello amanica! [15:54] hi guys :) [15:54] i have no idea Mopkop [15:54] but sounds like it could be the way it works [15:55] if you look at the ubuntu-za site you should see what happens not so? [15:56] maybe I could just do this: nikola new_page && mv pages/ ? im lost with that clever peeps stuff [15:57] Lol, it seems like it makes the file in the current directory, so i'm not very clever if I could not figure that out :-/. [15:58] lol [15:58] superfly: ping [15:58] lo nuvolari hes afk atm [15:58] hi oom [15:58] hi oom Kilos [15:59] hmm, I can't remember [15:59] lol [15:59] oh yes! [15:59] ghandi [15:59] superfly: unping [15:59] *gandi [16:00] :'( [16:00] someone took johan.name! [16:02] very funky... I don't know what it means: johan.みんな [16:02] haha [16:02] looks cool though [16:02] hard for peeps that dont know tab complete [16:50] Mopkop i think you can leave out the website bit where it says You can be involved in improving our web site [16:50] peeps can look but only we will do whats needed [16:51] You mean in the Africa sites? [16:51] also the part about bzr and branching [16:51] ya [16:52] Yes I was planning on doing that. I'm not using the ubuntu-za site as reference. [16:52] cool [16:52] For now, I'm just concetrating on the first 3 pages and the links. [16:52] cool [16:52] dont forget you task hey [16:53] project [16:55] On the 'Join us' page, I have a 'Why join', 'Who can join' and 'How to join'. Under How to join, i'll put a shot walkthrough on what needs to be done -j oining Lauchpad and so forth. [16:56] I'm working on my assignment during the day, 8 - 5 :) [16:56] aha [17:04] evening all [17:05] hi captine [17:05] i go eat [17:05] hi captine [17:05] hi all [17:05] ohi magespawn too [17:05] enjoy. just ate [17:05] ty [17:08] Hello captine, magespawn!

[17:32] magespawn, old article, but interesting [17:34] Kilos: Have you made a Facebook page for Ubuntu Africa yet? [17:34] nope i dont like facebook [17:35] Kilos: Should I make it then? [17:35] is the site finished? [17:35] No, not yet, just putting in the links so long. [17:35] you can make a fb page if you like [17:38] And twitter and stuff. Is it really necessary for now. I mean if no-one is going to maintain those pages, should we link it to the site. Maybe post-pone the social links, until we actually have social links? [17:42] ya maybe [17:42] social stuff can wait but not irc [17:42] everyone is on twitter anyway' [17:45] Is there a meeting tonight?

[20:11] So they dropped openoffice and java [20:12] and now require that want to teach CAT and IT now use ms office 2010-2013 and delphi [20:12] crazy indeed! [20:12] reason they went to delphi is cause embarcadero struck a deal with them [20:13] what is delphi used for/ [20:13] was someones hand greased with cash by embarcadero? [20:13] ? [20:14] embarcadero said they would give their IDE to schools for free, Dep sees it as less work for them because they don't have to write papers etc. for two languages anymore [20:16] night all, ty for attending the meeting [20:16] sleep tight [20:16] good night Kilos [20:16] The only reason the supported Java is because delphi IDe cost money [20:17] why aren't they moving to an easier language to teach? Java isn't easy to teach or learn [20:17] I can't even spell anymore - I should probably get some sleep too [20:17] >.< [20:18] I would think they would go for a language like python [20:19] Even Ruby would be fine. but, yeah, Embarcadero wins [20:22] To me Python makes sense, some Uni's use it in their courses so would be a good choice. [20:23] Jacques_StrY: How do you get them to use something which they don't want to though? Would they take you more seriously as a Python company instead of a bunch of individuals? [20:24] even Java seems to make more sense to me [20:24] agree magespawn [20:25] embarcadero is dying, and they're trying every possible way to stop [20:25] Hi everyone, I'm here to embarass my country. [20:25] if you just have a lok at the various job websites, i do not think i have seen delphi mentioned even once [20:26] magespawn: What that language still lives? [20:26] I don't even know how I know it. [20:26] Definitely - A company would be much better, also you would have to be able to give proper instruction materials and training to teachers [20:27] a Python training business. heh, any takers? [20:27] hi zipper yup [20:27] The reason Delphi has the upper hand is because schools were already using Pascal so they didn't have to train the teachers much [20:27] eh... [20:27] codecademy.com [20:27] kulelu88: how to set it up/ [20:28] go learn python there? [20:28] I think we need efforts to teach the teachers [20:28] teaching people Python takes 2 weeks, no more. [20:28] Jacques_StrY: there is another that i have not seen mentioned [20:28] it's almost pseudo-code [20:29] magespawn, ? [20:30] on the job sites etc [20:31] Hmmm languages without type safety and compilers as the default. [20:32] I know I'll have to use them to make a living. [20:32] Training is one of the big problems truly, I have been to some of the IT workshops and some of the teachers can't even do string manipulation. Their teaching kids to memorize code and hope that the question stays the same [20:34] should programming even be taught at school? most people need to get the basics right first [20:35] magespawn: we can't deprive those who wish to pursue it. whether it's Java apps or Python/Ruby webapps, kids can do amazing things in their free time with code [20:37] so perhaps as a added subject? add on subject? [20:37] many kids just need a bit of a pointer in the right direction [20:37] magespawn: that is what it is. IT is chosen as an option in 10,11,12 [20:38] mr & mrs Teacher out there, please point them here even [20:38] just like you can choose german, french, etc [20:38] Jacques_StrY: exactly [20:39] kulelu88: did not know that [20:40] been out of school for awhile, and my kids are not there just yet [20:40] I still don't understand the need to teach CAT [20:42] I think CAT is important, it can benefit you in allot of careers. [20:43] Jacques_StrY: but 3 years of it? [20:44] Night all! [20:45] That is a bit long but for a subject to be taught it has to cover the full 3 years and allot of kids struggle to finish all the work. [20:45] it has been enlightening to chat with you, but it is most definately my bed time [20:45] good night all [20:45] same here - night all, chat again tomorrow [20:46] tc all of you [20:48] kulelu88: "tc"? [20:48] * superfly puzzled over that last night [20:50] take care [20:50] ah! [20:51] :P [20:51] I am terribly old-fashioned, and I like my full words. [20:52] they will destroy your fingers eventually [21:05] kulelu88: my fingers have been fine for over 30 years, and I doubt they'll wear out any time soon. if they do, I won't be able to do my job anymore. [21:06] are you 40+? superfly [21:07] kulelu88: nope, not yet [21:07] how are things at Nomanini? [21:37] kulelu88: very very busy, but great thanks. [21:38] :) [21:41] I gotta head to bed. night kulelu88, take care ;-) [21:43] tc :)
