mthx|server | Whoa, ubuntu mn has a new website. When did that happen? | 15:42 |
---|---|---|
mthx|server | On a related note, I got an email prompting me to renew my ubuntun mn loco membership. Turns out that the account I used last time (2 years ago?) is not active anymore. So instead I just reapplied using my new account. | 15:43 |
mthx|server | So if you want to remove my old accounts ~jazzyflute and ~mathomastech, that would probably be a good idea just to clean up the list. | 15:44 |
tonyyarusso | mthx|server: Apparently almost immediately after I gave up and let the domain registration expire. Interesting. | 16:19 |
mthx|server | So who owns the domain now? There is no whois record. | 16:34 |
tonyyarusso | No idea. | 16:38 |
tonyyarusso | Well, there *is* a whois record, but it's masked. | 16:38 |
mthx|server | Huh. It's interesting that they chose to keep all the same content on there from before, but then updated the design and added some sort of RSS feed. Wonder if a community member picked it up? | 16:53 |
tonyyarusso | Not sure. There's some weird sort-of-boilerplate content too - seems half-finished. | 18:09 |
mthx|server | So, I know ubuntu-mn is relatively inactive and has only a dozen or so registered members, but is there any interest in attempting to expand or is this mostly just a pipe dream? | 19:32 |
tonyyarusso | mthx|server: Speaking for myself, I'm pretty tired of trying, but if you're willing to make an effort that would be awesome. | 19:56 |
tonyyarusso | I think LUGs and LoCos in general have become largely obsolete because Linux is just too darn easy for people to figure out without our help now. | 19:56 |
tonyyarusso | :) | 19:56 |
mthx|server | tonyyarusso: Haha, you say that like it's a bad thing :) The easy part that is. Hmm, I'll think about it. I'm still working on building up NORLUG with some degree of sucess. I'm not the best at publicity/social media, etc, so we've been growing at the rate of "word-of-mouth". | 20:47 |
mthx|server | Unfortunately, I am not sure how well I would do with running ubuntu-mn since I have no direct affiliation with Canonical, though I do know a handful of canonical employees! I also don't even use Ubuntu myself. | 20:48 |
tonyyarusso | Nobody involved in the group has ever had an affiliation with Canonical. | 20:49 |
mthx|server | Ok, well I will think about it. I would love to see the group be more active. | 21:04 |
