mthx|serverWhoa, ubuntu mn has a new website. When did that happen?15:42
mthx|serverOn 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|serverSo 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
tonyyarussomthx|server: Apparently almost immediately after I gave up and let the domain registration expire.  Interesting.16:19
mthx|serverSo who owns the domain now? There is no whois record.16:34
tonyyarussoNo idea.16:38
tonyyarussoWell, there *is* a whois record, but it's masked.16:38
mthx|serverHuh. 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
tonyyarussoNot sure.  There's some weird sort-of-boilerplate content too - seems half-finished.18:09
mthx|serverSo, 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
tonyyarussomthx|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
tonyyarussoI 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|servertonyyarusso: 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|serverUnfortunately, 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
tonyyarussoNobody involved in the group has ever had an affiliation with Canonical.20:49
mthx|serverOk, well I will think about it. I would love to see the group be more active.21:04
