[04:35] Morning everyone [05:35] Morning everyone [06:11] morning all [06:16] More oom [06:18] hi mazal barrydk [06:19] ons wag nog vir jou stuk oor gaming of hoe? [06:27] mornings [06:27] hi ThatGraemeGuy [06:36] Morning ThatGraemeGuy [06:46] hi pieter2627 [06:47] morning Kilos and everyone else [06:48] good mornings [06:54] morning inetpro [07:42] yes [07:42] magespawn: By the way, Kilos on freenode told me "tell magespawn are you looking here Greg? http://www.careerjet.co.za/ubuntu-linux-jobs.html" 2 days, 17 hours, 59 minutes and 28 seconds ago [07:42] hi magespawn [07:45] hi Kilos, thnaks for the link [07:45] np [08:21] hi andrewlsd [08:40] Hi Kilos [09:07] * andrewlsd lurks [12:07] Sjoe I had a weird problem now. I couldn't open any web site , not with chromium or firefox , and rss feeds dead , but IRC worked :P [12:11] haha i had that other day [12:12] needed to unplug modem and plug it back again [12:12] Weird hey , I have never seen that. It's like your internet is down , but 1 system is working [12:12] ya [12:12] irc and minetest was working , everything else not [12:12] pidgin also worked here [12:12] lol [12:13] I wonder what causes that , for interest sake [12:13] Is something in the OS or software , cos Barry's was fine on the same router [12:13] inetpro told me to restart my modem but didnt say why [12:15] All pc's should have a VW badge, there is always something bugging you [12:18] hey i love VW's [12:20] Oi nee , as ek wil sukkel dan trou ek eerder [12:21] lol [12:27] maybe something on the dns for those services went haywire [12:28] i have been having similat problems here with some of the users pc [12:28] s/similat/similar [12:36] *sigh* is za.archive.ubuntu.com broken again? [12:39] Maaz is http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ down [12:39] SilverCode use the neology mirror [12:39] yeah, going to switch to it now [12:40] but just wanted to vent my frustration at the official repo being down again [12:40] hi CuttingEdge [12:40] Kilos: greetings [12:40] lol fight with symmetria [12:40] he is also offline so something in kenya broke [12:40] getting "403 Forbidden [IP: 197.155.77.2 80]" for the records [12:41] that is what always confused me .... why does our local repo point to Kenya? [12:41] ya za archives point to his servers in kenya [12:41] bnecause the local ones are even worse [12:41] never up to date and broken weekly [12:42] why can't we point za archives to neology? [12:43] assuming they want that of course [12:43] it was a major job to just get them to point to kenya at the time [12:46] <-- runs the neology mirror [12:46] CuttingEdge: in that case, thank you for running a very good mirror [12:47] yes its the best [12:47] Bye everyone , have a nice evening , God bless [12:48] so does Maaz control the za.archive domain? [12:48] Maaz is a bot, so no [12:49] ..right [12:52] CuttingEdge: would Neology be against becoming the official ZA ubuntu mirror? [12:52] no, not at all .. in fact, i actually asked about it a while back [12:53] maybe it is time we petition hostmaster@canonical.com [12:53] add that to the agenda for tonights meeting [12:54] the problem though, is that there can only be one country mirror per TLD, since apt freaks out if you round robin the DNS to multiple mirrors .. specifically if the mirrors are even remotely out of sync [12:54] an identical cluster negates this though [12:55] Mr. Edge why are you still not playing minetest with us? [13:06] ThatGraemeGuy: good question .. just haven't gotten round to it (yes, its a lame excuse) [13:09] very much so [13:09] :-p [13:12] details @ #minetest-za when you're ready [13:32] Guten tag! [13:32] hi Mopkop [13:46] later all, home time [14:09] Hi Kilos: apt-offline --> suggest you look rather at "AptOnCD" [14:09] it seems a lot easier. [14:09] ^ wrt to the Trello ticket. [14:10] i have tried it in 14.04, didnt work, used to give you the choice to open with synaptic then it would install everything with no hassles [14:12] maybe it was just me [14:12] worked well up to 10.10 [14:14] I also haven't used it recently. [14:14] lol [14:16] Kilos, how about http://ubuntu.africa [14:16] for the africa site. [14:16] what about them andrewlsd ? [14:16] (I can't post in trello) [14:17] the domain doesn't seem to exist, so wondered if Ubuntu africa could be registered? [14:17] pro will sort you tonight. i think the site is just waiting for a merge [14:17] the site is running https://ubuntu-africa.info [14:18] yeah, I know about the .info address, but thought a .africa would be awesome. [14:18] and approved by canonical [14:18] brb [14:18] oh [14:21] fyi: the https version of ubuntu-africa.info is ... broken. Invalid cert that then takes you to codaptive.io [14:21] http version works fine [14:21] oh my [14:22] i get the same thing [14:23] superfly will know what is wrong [14:26] that also reminds me www.ubuntu-africa.info does not redirect to ubuntu-africa.info or vice versa [14:26] * pieter2627 wbbl [14:47] hi all [14:47] hi georgelappies you staying for tonights meeting?

[18:17] <Kilos> even when it was only a couple of bars it was stable [18:20] <georgelappies> They all use the same tech (Voda, MTN, Cell C, Telkom). It is just a function of how far you are from the tower and the infrastructure from the tower to the nearest internet exchange [18:25] <captine> Hi all. Loadsheddi g [18:26] <captine> Has me using a tablet...😀 [18:26] <Kilos> hi captine pro as well [18:26] <magespawn> good evening [18:26] <Kilos> he is using his cell as a hotspo [18:26] <Kilos> t [18:26] <Kilos> hi magespawn [18:26] <captine> Cell data is dead [18:27] <Kilos> eish [18:29] <Kilos> ah Eames you here too [18:29] <captine> So my old macbook is totally poked.

[18:49] <superfly> Maaz: accepted Minutes of the previous meeting [18:49] <Maaz> Accepted: Minutes of the previous meeting [18:49] <captine> Cool [18:49] <mciverza> maaz: i am andrew mac [18:49] <Maaz> mciverza: Done [18:49] <superfly> Secondly, I'm going to ask a big fat WHY? [18:50] <captine> Superfly?? [18:50] <kulelu88> burp [18:50] <magespawn> Maaz I am Greg Eames [18:50] <Maaz> magespawn: Okay [18:50] <Kilos> hi kulelu88 [18:50] <Kilos> login please [18:50] <Kilos> superfly why load shedding? [18:50] <superfly> Why do we need people to sign the CoC, become members, and do the other things listed in "Plans for 2015" [18:50] <kulelu88> Hello NSA, I am a pawn in your game of world domination [18:50] <superfly> What's the point? [18:51] <superfly> If there's no point, there's no reason to try to get people to do them. [18:51] <Kilos> superfly never mind that [18:51] <Kilos> peeps will follow you [18:52] <superfly> Kilos: no, I ask this in all earnest. [18:52] <Kilos> pro can explain when he gets here [18:52] <Kilos> lemme read it again [18:52] <kulelu88> anybody enjoy american funk music? [18:53] <Kilos> kulelu88 meeting time [18:53] <kulelu88> oh ja. its today [18:53] <superfly> Kilos: you see, if we don't have a reason for doing these things, then no one is going to want to do it. [18:53] <mciverza> reason for signing CoC, imho, is that it's the first step towards contributing to Ubuntu [18:53] <Kilos> i see your reasoning superfly [18:54] <superfly> Kilos: the reason Ubuntu LoCo's are losing steam is because there is no point. [18:54] <superfly> They've lost the passion because they've lost the goal. [18:54] <captine> I think it is just to have a more formal stamp of community membership. We are all members of ythe greater community in terms of local channel, other projects, maybe bug reporting etc but I guess it is nice to get people to Get the official stamp. [18:54] <kulelu88> it's too distro-centric. I'd prefer an OS-loco. All types of open source should be welcome [18:54] <Kilos> hi Lionthinker [18:54] <Lionthinker> Hi all [18:54] <Lionthinker> apologies I'm late [18:54] <superfly> Kilos: you've taken on this goal of getting all the African LoCo's together. Once that's done, then what? [18:55] <Mopkop> superfly: hmmm, I disagree. Its kind of an initiation ceromony - like baptism or being ordained. Also consider that the guys over at the linux foundation now have their own CoD. They got it out of necesity, because some people (most notably Linus himself) were misbehaving. Signing a CoD will hold people accountable for their misconduct. [18:55] <superfly> Mopkop: it's not necessarily about the CoC, which I totally agree with. It's the greater "meaning of things" [18:55] <Kilos> superfly im doing it so that all linux users in africa have a common channel to get and help each other [18:55] <superfly> Kilos: and then what? [18:56] <Mopkop> superfly: You mean like the purpose and direction of the LoCo? [18:56] <Kilos> then ill be dead i think [18:56] <superfly> Mopkop: yes [18:56] <kulelu88> I think superfly is trying to show you guys that you need to plan a bit further ahead. Having a goal just for the sake of having 1 is a hamster-wheel exercise [18:57] <Kilos> ok just think of being the only linux user in a country [18:57] <Kilos> then all of a sudden there is a channel full of like minded peeps [18:57] <Lionthinker> hamster-wheel exercise ***chuckle talk about changing a 6 week old!!! [18:57] <superfly> Kilos: I don't want you to explain it to me, I want you to think about it and [18:58] <superfly> *and come up with goals/solutions [18:58] <Kilos> lead us superfly [18:58] <Kilos> you set the goals [18:58] <Mopkop> We had the same problem at Church. We were not sure what direction we should take. So the last 2 years we spent a lot of effort in defining purpose and direction of the church as well as the responsibilities. Maybe we should set up something like that for the LoCo? [18:58] <kulelu88> for example. You turn linux users in Africa into a community . Then you try to lobby government to move away from closed-source software [18:58] <pieter2627> so maybe the goal should be improved to be more specific for the set problem... [18:59] <superfly> Kilos: I don't have goals and I don't have time to lead. It's not about me, I'm just posing the questions. [18:59] <Kilos> hi wilsonmaravilha welcome to ubuntu-za [18:59] <kulelu88> or you try to get grass-roots involvement in linux through schools, recycled PCs, etc. [18:59] <pieter2627> ex. rather that get more to #ubuntu-za, make the visibility and existence of it more common/open [18:59] <Kilos> oh well yes that is the aim kulelu88 [19:00] <wilsonmaravilha> Hi there, Kilos :) Thanks! [19:00] <kulelu88> I don't want to join because calling ourselves "ubuntu africa" is too narrow-minded. We already seem to have linux user groups, so better to support them [19:00] <Kilos> the aim is for everyone to used foss right? [19:00] <kulelu88> not everyone [19:01] <Kilos> well those who would like to [19:01] <Lionthinker> [Interesting fact - do you know the Gauteng Provincial Gov uses Ubuntu?] [19:01] <kulelu88> I never knew that Lionthinker [19:01] <kulelu88> I know FNB does [19:01] * pieter2627 jaw dropped open [19:02] <Lionthinker> Full of interesting things is Lionthinker [19:02] <superfly> I've seen Ubuntu in use by Vodacom at some of their stands in Canal Walk in Cape Town. [19:02] <Kilos> lol [19:02] <Mopkop> Suggestion: Let's formally set up a Vision, Mission, and Goals for out LoCo we can all agree on. [19:02] <superfly> That's another aspect we could really work on. Making Ubuntu more visible [19:02] <mciverza> cell c, shops video displays are Linux [19:02] <Kilos> and the telkom tech that came here was quite at home on my kde [19:02] <superfly> Yep, those big displays in Checkers run Linux (I saw one rebooting) [19:02] <mciverza> :) [19:03] <kulelu88> thing about these ideas is that we always have them, but very few of us want to give enough time to see through the plans [19:04] <Kilos> superfly been thinking about the whole thing for days now, advertising is expensive though [19:04] <pieter2627> we should maybe also try to magnify it being used by popular firm like does above (compile a list some time) [19:04] <pieter2627> s/does/those/ [19:04] <superfly> kulelu88: There are some things that we can do without needing to spend huge amounts of time or money [19:05] <Mopkop> Maybe we (the whole Ubuntu Community actually) should start some crowed-funding ad-campaign like they did with firefox. [19:05] <superfly> kulelu88: but I agree with you. The only reason Ubuntu-Africa is going anywhere is because Kilos is seeing it through. He has the time and the motivation to do it. [19:05] <superfly> I lack the time, for the most part. [19:05] <Lionthinker> Has anyone got connections to Kenya and the iHubs? [19:05] <georgelappies> time is a very limited resource [19:06] <kulelu88> I'd be willing to be an evangelist for linux, not for ubuntu. ubuntu has canonical to spend money on marketing [19:06] <superfly> Lionthinker: we can ask stickyboy [19:06] <Kilos> or kenju254 [19:06] <superfly> kulelu88: I'm more of a Debianite these days [19:06] <mciverza> I have some Kenyan connections [19:06] <mciverza> but liquid telecom has office there [19:07] <Lionthinker> superfly, trying to think of a quick come back to stickyboy but gave up [19:07] <superfly> haha [19:07] <kulelu88> so hows about we do a grassroots effort for linux as a linux community? Small talks at schools? [19:07] <Kilos> Lionthinker stickyboy runs servers in kenya [19:08] <superfly> I was thinking of something a little smaller ;-) [19:08] <superfly> What if we have a section on our site of "Ubuntu in the wild" [19:08] <kulelu88> small talks under a tree? that's retro [19:08] <superfly> and people can submit photos of Ubuntu (or indeed any Linux distro) that they see in public places [19:08] <Kilos> sounds good superfly [19:08] <pieter2627> superfly: sa wild only or world wild [19:09] <superfly> pieter2627: any, really [19:09] <mciverza> Ubuntu in the wild, with photos [19:09] <Lionthinker> Ubuntu in the Veld [19:09] * pieter2627 thinks it is a good idea [19:09] <mciverza> primarily ZA. [19:09] <SilverCode> can we submit photos of our own work in the wild running Ubuntu? [19:10] <pieter2627> It can help to persuade others to adopt Ubuntu more easily [19:10] <kulelu88> as long as its not pron SilverCode [19:10] <mciverza> yes [19:10] <superfly> I think as long as it's kinda public, that's OK [19:10] <SilverCode> well, we run roughly 10 000 advertising displays in SA on Linux, with about 50% of them Ubuntu [19:11] <superfly> SilverCode: perfect [19:11] <inetpro> Maaz: I am Gustav H Meyer [19:11] <Maaz> inetpro: Okay [19:11] <inetpro> ai! [19:11] <Kilos> wb inetpro [19:11] <Kilos> what broke [19:11] <inetpro> eventually I am back in full force [19:11] <Lionthinker> Maaz: I am Leon Marincowitz [19:11] <Maaz> Lionthinker: Done [19:11] <kulelu88> SilverCode: primedia? [19:11] <superfly> SilverCode: it may be a good idea just to get an A-OK [19:11] <inetpro> almost [19:11] <SilverCode> kulelu88: One Digital Media [19:11] <superfly> from the powers that be [19:12] <kulelu88> fascinating stuff [19:12] <inetpro> Telkom kicked me out for roaming via Vodacom [19:12] <SilverCode> superfly: you mean the powers that be of the company I work for? [19:12] <Kilos> ai! [19:12] <superfly> SilverCode: yeah, I'm not sure what your work politics are like [19:12] <superfly> SilverCode: if you need to.

[19:14] <kulelu88> wimpy tvs run on linux ? ftw! [19:14] <SilverCode> kulelu88: the Digital Menuboards do [19:14] <SilverCode> as do the ones in KFC [19:15] <SilverCode> and in Domino's [19:15] <kulelu88> KFC *spits on the floor (where chicken is washed)* [19:15] <SilverCode> and Spur [19:15] * mciverza loves them all [19:15] <Kilos> lol [19:15] <kulelu88> SilverCode: what desktop OS do you guys use? [19:16] <SilverCode> kulelu88: I develop on Netrunner, other guys develop on Xubuntu and Mint [19:17] <SilverCode> but our actual displays run a customized Ubuntu 14.04 [19:17] <SilverCode> ...no, the dont [19:17] <SilverCode> Ubuntu 12.04 [19:17] <SilverCode> new version is going to be 14.04 [19:17] <kulelu88> aah I'm already liking your company.
