[16:08] i'm sure i can track him down if you want to make contact again [16:11] nah, I have him on Facebook. [16:12] aw superfly i forgot about you [16:12] and fb [16:12] So I see his movements occasionally. Just our areas of interest have largely diverved, I think :-) [16:12] *diverged [16:12] woo! my G2 has been shipped. hoping to get it tomorrow or thursday [16:14] * CuttingEdge ponders [16:14] now that i've had a good look, i actually recognize some of the nicknames here [16:15] mostly #clug users ;) [16:15] no lug channels are friendly lik #ubuntu-za [16:24] CuttingEdge i read an article that says neology has gone ipv6 already [16:24] yeah, most of our 'stuff' is IPv6 [16:25] how do i get my 8ta connection to make use of ipv6 [16:26] at this stage, you'd probably have to tunnel it [16:26] not sure if 8ta is IPv6 ready [16:27] i will fone them a enguire [16:28] my telkom mobile connection shows 4g is possible so who knows what a fone call will find [16:29] that reminds me .. ubuntu.mirror.neology.co.za is IPv6 ready too .. just noticed the AAAA record is incorrect [16:29] * CuttingEdge goes to update [16:29] i go eat [16:36] hi all [16:36] Kilos there be two of you [16:36] Good evening [16:36] Good evening georgelappies [16:37] ya [16:37] hi georgelappies im just eating [16:37] wbb soon [16:37] hi gremble [16:37] are you pulling a Gollum on us? [16:37] lol [16:38] Kilos was probably alive when Tolkien wrote his books :P [16:38] her books [16:38] Oh, You decided that he was a girl? [16:38] :P [16:39] google [16:39] Lol [16:39] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien#/media/File:Tolkien_1916.jpg [16:39] if thats a girl then I don't know :p [16:39] she was on some show one day [16:39] LOL [16:40] He died in 1973 [16:40] I doubt that he was on shows [16:40] its a her that wrote lord of the rings [16:40] ill ask my sis when i finish eating [16:40] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLvIFRNbqOs [16:40] Most certainly not :P [16:41] He did have a daughter, but I am unsure of what she would be famous for [16:41] Other than being from his loins [16:42] he wrote the hobbit for her, thats probably her largest achievement :p [16:42] That was an amazing book, so it is probably not a meager achievement [16:43] toob ad about the movies [16:43] I never watched the last movie [16:43] it can't be unseen unfortunately :( [16:43] They weren't horrible. Book is much better though [16:43] forgive me oh wise ones im thinking of jk rowlinns [16:43] 'rowlings or whatever [16:43] haha, harry potter [16:43] Yes, JK Rowling is a girl [16:43] :P [16:43] A very very rich one at that [16:44] ya [16:45] no, no, no. JRR Tolkien was born in the Freestate in SA, he most definitely is male and any of his works by far surpasses the drivel we have seen lately marketed under the premise of high fantasy [16:45] me = Tolkien fan ;p [16:45] georgelappies has a slow internet connection :P [16:45] hehe [16:46] how do you know that gremble? ;p [16:46] Educated guess [16:46] also a huge fan [16:46] anyhow, not talking so much about movies / tv series. Talking about books and the creation of the world the story is set in [16:47] of the books that is [16:47] Do you blow them cold? [16:47] the LOTR moviews were respectful at least [16:47] hobbit movies were an attrocity [16:47] They are 12 hours of walking and hobbits doing slightly homosexual things [16:48] yeah, also enjoyed them. Hobbit was definitely atrocious MaNI2 [16:50] gremble, you have a warped perception of reality :) [16:51] It's a shame that you think there is an objective reality [16:53] hi all [16:53] Hey Padroni [16:53] * Padroni broke his Win7 using Kali [16:53] sadly Win7 wasn't the target [16:53] make the switch to Kali then [16:53] How'd you break it? [16:54] not sure [16:54] but everytime I use Kali, Win7 goes BSOD on boot [16:54] Oh. Is it a laptop? [16:54] yup [16:55] Ah [16:55] Windows has a nasty habit of not shutting down on laptops [16:55] It suspends to RAM [16:55] lol, gremble that was a good come back [16:55] So when you boot with Kali, you erase the previous state of windows [16:55] Well... [16:55] Chrome just BSOD' my own machine [16:55] haha [16:56] I tend to disable the 'hibernate' function completely [16:56] Anyway, so as the state is erased, windows freaks out and BSOD's [16:56] but yeah [16:56] It is not hibernate [16:56] It is shitty OEM shit [16:56] I don't care enough about Win7 to get upset [16:56] i just reinstall [16:56] I don't think it is world breaking [16:56] It should be able to recover? [16:56] if you have ANY experience with Windows, you're use to that part anyway [16:57] nah, I am due to for a clean install [16:57] only use windows because of games anyway [16:57] so no harm [16:57] georgelappies: you didn't say anything that I would have to make a comeback to. Ad hominem attacks on my opinion mean nothing to me :P [16:59] And I was busy reading such an interesting article [17:02] we had 44 peeps here at lunchtime now down to 38 again [17:02] sigh [17:02] Hmm, this was quite a crash. Even ripped out the activation malware [17:02] hi Kilos [17:02] you guys chased all my peeps [17:02] hi Padroni [17:03] I was here most of the day [17:03] but so busy [17:03] and now busy with 2nd shift [17:03] np being here is good [17:03] many lurkers are better than an empty channel [17:04] true [17:04] but at least I say something stupid now and then [17:04] haha [17:04] or pick fights with the bot [17:04] Maaz will always win [17:04] yeah [17:04] #soon [17:05] whats that mean [17:05] * Padroni wonders if Maaz is 3 laws ready... [17:05] It means he will beat it soon [17:05] He only knows one [17:05] what ^ said [17:05] Don't burn the beans [17:05] nono he has been here for years, part of the furniture already [17:06] is it weird that I find it exciting to install a fresh copy of ubuntu? [17:06] Yes [17:06] * Padroni sighs [17:06] nope [17:06] its exilirating [17:06] Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, ArchLinux? [17:06] I am actually looking at going straight-up debian on my laptop [17:06] dunno how to spell that [17:06] haha [17:06] wb highvoltage [17:06] I have, indeed [17:07] eeek traitor [17:07] o/ [17:07] mind you fly also does debian on one pc [17:07] * highvoltage too [17:07] but i think its more work than ubuntu [17:08] you too?

[19:12] tell me more about stickyboy [19:13] alright boys. let's keep to meeting during meeting time [19:13] On my machines I have found that 15.04 takes quite a bit longer to boot up...

[19:18] arnaudmez: let's talk more after the meeting [19:18] 'cause i remember years ago that copy-paste of home was problematic ... really [19:18] arnaudmez: works for me [19:18] sorry guys, what's the meeting topic [19:18] Nothing my side superfly [19:18] I didn't have problems with that at all [19:18] i came late today [19:18] saw some mails on one of the mailing lists about some documentation project?

I unfortunately went back to Windows 8.1 at work after using Ubuntu for about a month as my main desktop. Was fun, but changing roles means no longer in IT so need to conform [19:22] ty [19:22] I can, but I don't have many friends :P [19:22] captine: You have my condolences [19:22] maybe from ubuntu-za in fb even [19:22] thnx gremble... [19:22] jeez [19:22] 8.1? [19:23] * Padroni is a mocker of Windoze 8 users... [19:23] or whatever [19:23] Padroni, not a win expert [19:23] think it is 8.1... isnt it? [19:23] both are equally useless [19:23] yip it is. just checked :) [19:24] captine: roles? [19:24] oh [19:24] in the News: KDE Ships Plasma 5.3, New Feature Release https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.3.0.php [19:24] moved from IT into finance [19:24] Maaz: idea advertise ubuntu-afica on facebook [19:24] Idea recorded: advertise ubuntu-afica on facebook [19:24] i would personally like to thank superfly inetpro and team for the great africa site === MaNI2 is now known as MaNI [19:25] Maaz: agreed find out more about the documentation effort [19:25] Agreed: find out more about the documentation effort [19:25] I would like to know more [19:25] about the documentation effort.

As I understand it, they want to document OS things for central and easy access [19:27] :) [19:27] * Jacques_Stry hides [19:27] * Padroni just had to do a system restore on Win7. Which means it is now retarted for at least 5 reboot cycles [19:27] :/ [19:27] gremble: cool [19:28] OK. can we move on to electing the next chairnick?

Thks for the help [19:34] Yes Langjan :) [19:34] Glad you got it sorted [19:34] Maaz: agreed Next meeting 26 May 2015 [19:34] Agreed: Next meeting 26 May 2015 [19:34] Maaz: end meeting [19:34] Meeting Ended [19:34] Minutes available at json: http://maaz.mene.za.net/logs/meetings/freenode-%23ubuntu-za/2015-04-28-18-31-09.json :: txt: http://maaz.mene.za.net/logs/meetings/freenode-%23ubuntu-za/2015-04-28-18-31-09.txt :: html: http://maaz.mene.za.net/logs/meetings/freenode-%23ubuntu-za/2015-04-28-18-31-09.html [19:34] good evening [19:34] superfly: nicely done [19:34] evening melodie [19:34] 'lo [19:34] thanks superfly! [19:34] thnx superfly [19:35] hi captine [19:35] hi Squirm [19:35] hi melodie [19:35] Lekker slaap manne en maninne, that's you melodie [19:35] lol [19:35] :) [19:35] sleep tight Langjan [19:35] k [19:35] Thks Kilos [19:35] glad you got it all sorted [19:36] Me too thks [19:36] I would like to know if some people are interested in doing their own custom version of Ubuntu? [19:36] hope you wrote it down [19:36] No, it was too much trial and error [19:36] I have used Ubuntu Builder since 2012, it's a nice tool quite easy to use and Kamilion continues it somehow on his ppa [19:37] melodie, I thought about something like that for a business edition etc... but no time [19:37] it's a tool written in Gambas, with the look and feel of a gtk3 app [19:38] captine would you be interested if I say, in some time, I'd like to do that, and why not open a new project? [19:38] minutes are up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings/20150428 [19:38] ie : a list of packages would be needed, perhaps configuration files... [19:38] Kilos: are you going to create the next meeting page? [19:38] Gambas is such a weird language to want to code in :P [19:38] the pro does that superfly [19:38] melodie: I tried it in a VM here and it's surprisingly fast [19:39] superfly: I'll handle it asap [19:39] inetpro Bento? [19:39] melodie: yes [19:39] Kilos, help me again with the nick - /nick "my name" dont do it [19:39] good [19:39] just had a few minor issues [19:39] inetpro let me know if you find bugs, so that we squeeze them [19:39] melodie, sounds interesting. what would we be wanting to do that cannot be done by contributing to current ubuntu? That is always my question. Think there is a lot on the business side, however I certainly don't have the skills... cannot even remember how to config things without google [19:40] captine this is beside the question, I'll explain why [19:40] qwebirc78238 first try /nick anynick [19:40] qwebirc78238 do /j ##kilos [19:40] ill help you there === qwebirc78238 is now known as anynick [19:41] there [19:41] it worked [19:41] I am working on Bento Vivid now, because I want to see what comes next after Trusty and while doing so I meet with my own set of issues to deal with, and take advantage of it to do bug reports (as good as possible) [19:41] that helps [19:41] melodie: reporting bugs takes time and unfortunatey that is not a luxury that I have [19:41] now do /nick rusty10 [19:41] Jacques_Stry, Squirm shall we talk on #ubuntu-za-documentation about the documentation project? (or anyone else that wants to talk about it) [19:42] anynick now do /nick rusty10 [19:42] it says it is already in use [19:42] captine then I was also reporting some details to a Debian developer this morning, about a package he takes care of, and also a few days ago, about an Openbox which is only for test purposes [19:42] inetpro you can list them here and tell me just like that [19:42] gremble: surely [19:42] eish [19:42] melodie, you sound pretty technical... i may not be the resource you are looking for :) [19:42] inetpro ie: if it's about sound, not needed. the packages for the sound will come next [19:43] e [19:43] so it does not allow me [19:43] Documentation is a project started my William, shame he couldn't make it for the meeting [19:43] captine I don't need to be that technical while discussing, but while helping I do. but the devs have tought me and I am learning as I go anyway [19:43] inetpro please help anynick [19:43] aim of the project is to promote the use of open source software in schools [19:44] he registered rusty10 this avy [19:44] captine you can help with anything not so tech [19:44] Kilos: He's gotta auth to it. [19:44] such as docs for the ones who have no knowledge, this is very appreciated generally [19:44] or else, whatever is in your scope [19:44] but problem is that OSS is usually not well documented and lack the books necessary for them to be implemented in schools [19:45] stickyboy explain nicely to him please he is new [19:45] anynick what says? do you need help? [19:45] that is where William started with his project [19:45] Kilos: Actually he is apparently already logged in. [19:45] yes [19:45] anynick: Do you have another IRC window open somewhere maybe? :D [19:45] anynick I am listening [19:46] yes on xchat [19:46] melodie, sounds interesting. just need to align with the vision and purpose of a new distro and can then work on time available to contribute. [19:46] anynick: I mean, it seems like 'rusty10' is actually connected. And that's you somewhere. :P [19:46] thats why close the site one and go to xchat [19:46] night all.. gotto run [19:46] it says it is already in use | what is? [19:46] he wanted to get a system where it will be easy for people / educators / contributers from all over to help in writing books to be used in schools [19:46] captine I would not submit anything else than Bento Openbox as a basis [19:46] I started on xchat and was sent here on the ubuntu side [19:47] so we looked at a few systems and the one we are currently looking at is Booktype [19:47] anynick: try: /nickserv ghost rusty10 password [19:47] Ok [19:47] anynick what would be "the ubuntu side" ? [19:47] CuttingEdge :D [19:47] night all [19:47] see you tomorrow [19:47] now on xchat [19:48] melodie: greetings [19:48] captine because Bento is meant to be very fast and very easy all at same time, and very easy to build ont [19:48] on [19:48] ok now /nick rusty10 [19:48] CuttingEdge hi [19:48] Jacques_Stry: Booktype looks like something used to author books. Why? Why not just have a web interface? [19:48] i successfully installed a server for us to test on last night and you guys can check it out: http://52.10.81.81/ [19:48] Something like an easily readable wiki where you can download the database to use it offline ( i remeber that was one of the usecases) [19:48] nope - /nick rusty10 but does not work [19:48] Yes, I had a look at that now. It looks very neat [19:49] Guest98387: thats because its currently in use [19:49] captine http://linuxvillage.org/en/ [19:49] :) [19:49] Guest98387: try: /nickserv ghost rusty10 password [19:49] I'm hungry now [19:49] I'll bbl [19:50] gremble: Booktype isn't just about authoring but also about collaborative writing, it has proper version control so is perfect [19:50] So does a wiki? [19:50] and about offline use the finished books can be easily downloaded and re uploaded [19:50] it does not allow me to ghost [19:50] Guest61971 you may have to wait some time [19:50] melodie: i tried sushi the other night .. i suppose its an acquired taste ;) [19:50] it happens [19:51] perhaps I just need to log off and start again [19:51] CuttingEdge acquired? what does acquired mean? [19:51] Guest61971 just be patient [19:51] melodie: ie: not really my 'thing' [19:51] im really trying, believe me [19:51] no I don't :D [19:52] why should I? ;D [19:52] gremble: We are trying to keep it as simple to use as possible, wiki doesn't really fulfill that to me [19:52] CuttingEdge no problem [19:52] CuttingEdge which desktop do you like best? Openbox can take several of them on top because it is only a windows manager [19:53] Jacques_Stry: Okay, I don't particularly care how you guys decide to present the content. What is your plans on contribution management and what can I do to help? [19:53] can see i'm going to have to google bento .. haven't seen/played with it before [19:53] Guest61971 I am joking! [19:53] CuttingEdge why do you want to google? if you have a question please just ask [19:54] melodie: ironically, i was a huge fan of the original gnome .. but over the years, i've become quite fond of the simplicity of unity [19:54] gremble: that is a very good question, we should be discussing this with William as this is his project - don't want to put words in his mouth [19:54] CuttingEdge I am not the Unity kind, but... I'll show you something I did with Bento last year or so [19:54] melodie: cause i can't see screenshots over IRC ;) [19:54] gremble: Could I ask you to put that in a mail and send it to the mailing list [19:55] He usually replies pretty quickly [19:55] Okay. [19:55] melodie: URL ? [19:55] http://forum.linuxvillage.org/index.php/topic,338.msg2268.html#msg2268 [19:56] CuttingEdge you tell me.. [19:56] But if you have any ideas please let us know gremble - the more hands the better [19:56] Jacques_Stry one idea: how many people in #ubuntu-za and #ubuntu-africa like Lubuntu? [19:56] I know Lubuntu wishes to open their team wider, so... [19:56] I use lubuntu on my eeebox pc's [19:57] Padroni did you try Vivid already? [19:57] nope [19:57] link? [19:57] Use it on my htpc's etc [19:57] Padroni right away! wait a sec [19:57] I need something that will ubuntu, but on p2 / p3 specs [19:57] like 1.4Ghz with 1GB RAM [19:58] melodie: is there a APT repository or PPA for bento ? [19:58] but mostly [19:58] http://lubuntu.me/ [19:58] i need to figure out how to install ubuntu on my iphone [19:58] CuttingEdge 3 repositories [19:58] for the isos [19:58] CuttingEdge the repos are the ones from Ubuntu, plus a few ppa added with care [19:59] CuttingEdge http://linuxvillage.org/en/downloads/ [19:59] anyone? [19:59] Ubuntu on iPhone. Anyone? [19:59] Would do it [20:00] Would use it* [20:00] I heard that you can do it by putting the iPhone in the microwave for 30 seconds [20:00] This allows you to hijack the bootloader [20:00] and bypass the transmogrifier [20:00] you must think I am a windows 8 user? [20:00] * Padroni is offended... [20:00] * gremble takes a sip of tea [20:02] * Padroni pictures Kermit with a cup of tea and sniggers... [20:02] That is funny, because I like kermit. I have a redeyed treefrog tattood on my arm [20:04] Gnight all [20:05] night [20:05] I'm off too [20:05] laters, folks [20:05] Cheers [20:05] haha should probably be getting some sleep too - enjoy everyone, chat later [20:24] quietness, yay! :-) [20:24] hehe [20:25] It got really busy here for a moment [20:25] i cant even keep up [20:25] * inetpro had to step out to regain his sanity [20:25] My inbox is overflowing [20:27] lol [20:27] Kilos: and poor Guest61971 will be wondering why people are trying to talk to him [20:27] Yes. How could they [20:27] 100 emails and counting === gremble is now known as Guest9000 [20:28] I am going to keep this one, I think [20:28] ai!

[21:01] Tea time [21:02] Hi gremble, I assume you are Jaco [21:03] williamk: Jacques_Stry is the one who installed it on his server now [21:04] I am indeed [21:05] Content is what I am interested in. Banalities like a contribution styleguide, content scope etcetera [21:06] williamk is it especially dedicated to za/africa? [21:06] williamk just asking as right now Lubuntu is doing a documentation project, maybe could you join forces? [21:06] Jacques_Stry has setup Booktype [21:06] at #lubuntu-devel if you are interested to check with them [21:06] and less formal, at #phillw [21:07] It is not just a za/africa project [21:07] Yes, I did go take a look at the server he set up. Looks nice [21:07] williamk gsilva has setup a bazaar on launchpad and is now doing a tutorial [21:08] 2 things I would like to come out of this Documentation Project [21:08] williamk lately I noticed their team lack manpower for the doc so, perhaps would you want to talk with gsilva, rafaellaguna, wxl ... ? [21:09] 1. Documentation for Schools, using the DBE curriculum [21:10] 2. Certification, ECDL/ICDL LPI [21:10] great! [21:11] melodie, I am not an Lubuntu user, but the Project can be used for Lubuntu docs [21:11] williamk what about you get "Malinux" and see if you could reuse bits of the documentation which is integrated in it? [21:12] williamk or maybe they can put links to it in some parts, but I can't say, I'm not the one in charge there [21:12] about Malinux, this is something else, I host it [21:12] It's an Xubuntu 12.04 branded for the teachers of High School and University in Mali [21:13] not my doing : a non for profit association where I went to help last year, produces it [21:15] williamk I will provide the link for anyone interested to see how it is and perhaps use it or use parts of it [21:16] http://phillw.net/isos/bento-ubuntu-remix/malinux-2.0.iso http://phillw.net/isos/bento-ubuntu-remix/malinux-2.0.iso.md5sum [21:17] I have installed it to a bunch of machines along with other people last year it's pretty and the doc is right on the desktop [21:19] Jacques_Stry is going to create an install doc for Booktype, so anyone will be able to setup their own project on their own server [21:20] williamk wait a sec please [21:24] williamk ok I have passed on the message [21:25] let's see what's next :D [21:26] williamk the documentation you are planning is to be on the ubuntu wiki, right? [21:26] Slaapwel :) [21:29] melodie - The docs will be created on the Booktype server, It is very easy to use, goto http://52.10.81.81 [21:30] Here is the doc for Booktype 2.0 : http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-20-for-authors-and-publishers/what-is-booktype/ [21:30] williamk where will it be published once written? [21:31] williamk this is interesting [21:31] and what about the LPI ? It needs an agreement to spread it [21:32] as far as I know [21:36] LPI, not the document to teach LPI, look here http://ict-innovation.fossfa.net/wiki/public-wiki/foss-certification-training-material/lpi-training-materials-and-practice-testing-engines [21:38] melodie - " where will it be published once written?" we have not discussed/decided that, I would like something like Flossmanuals : http://en.flossmanuals.net/ [21:41] not for the ubuntu wiki then? [21:41] just wondering, williamk are you a teacher? [21:41] melodie, like I said "we have not discussed/decided that", so I don't know [21:43] No I am not a teacher, I am a Comp Tech for a University of Technology here in Durban, but am wanting to reduce the cost of books for schools/UOTs/Univs/etc [21:43] williamk oh good! [21:46] Well, I am keen to help. I am a copywriter/proofreader, so there is that that I can bring to the table [21:47] Imagine, all ( or a few ) teachers for a school subject, getting together and creating a manual for that subject, for all teachers to use, [21:47] also so that others in another country can base their content on our content [21:48] Isn't that what they are doing now with these new CC textbooks that the students get for Science and Math? [21:48] Dept Education got a bunch of volunteers to write standard textbooks [21:49] gremble - yes, at Siyavula : http://www.siyavula.com/, we can create manuals that they have not [21:50] If you know any teachers that are willing to create manuals, using FLOSS software, when this is ready, tell them about it [21:51] Sure [21:51] I lost control over my one urxvt terminal >.> [21:52] Let the teachers contact their fellow subject teachers, and see what they come up with [21:52] The word should spread, and hopefully we will have lots of manuals [21:53] The next step is to get the manuals ratified by the DBE, to be used at schools [21:54] Okay, so you want to make textbooks? Not comprehensive floss documentation? [21:55] As I said above, 1. Documentation for Schools, using the DBE curriculum [21:56] and 2. Certification, ECDL/ICDL LPI [21:57] Those are my 2 interests, but that does not stop anyone else creating other floss documentation [21:59] If you have a look on the Booktype site ( http://52.10.81.81 ), I have created a book "Ubuntu14.04 LTS Server Installation" guide [21:59] Yes. I read that then as well. Right now what I understand: Documentation for schools and 2. etc. They are being done on BookType so far. Still no mention of what is being documented, except that it will be using the DBE curriculum and something-something floss [22:00] williamk: is that address for the Booktype server a test or is it going to be permenant? [22:01] Each school subject has a curriculum and a manual/textbook, the curriculum is on the DBE site, we/teachers need to create the manual/textbook [22:04] Ah [22:05] Now I understand what is happening [22:05] Textbook writing [22:05] magespawn : I am not the one setting up the server, it is on ec2 at the moment, and it looks like we might be able to get a server [22:09] gremble - Personally I don't know the difference between a textbook or a manual, to me it is the same, I am assuming Textbook for schools, and manuals for ICDL/ECDL, LPI, etc [22:09] Manual is for reference whereas a textbook is for learning [22:09] so these manuals/textbooks would then be free for all to use? [22:10] Manuals are usually denser and lead by example, where as textbooks generally are easier access [22:11] don't lead by example* [22:14] you will have my support where i can give it, i am off to bed now, good night all [22:15] "be free for all to use?", yes, we still have to discuss this, possible : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/License [22:20] Ok, good night all [22:37] Cheers guys [22:42] good night [22:59] * inetpro just upgraded to KDE Plasma 5.3 [22:59] and immediately seems even faster than before
