[00:39] Good evening all! How are you doing? [00:48] rick_h_ or cmaloney: hey guys, question about the chc website. Who is the owner? [00:55] NFC [00:55] waf1: is that wil? [00:56] ??? NFC ??? [00:56] Yeah, that's wil [00:56] THough I don't know who runs the root chc site [00:56] yea, so waf1 is the owner [00:56] it's on google code hosting thingy, or was last I knew [00:57] Thank you guys. [00:57] waf1: how are you doing tonight? [00:57] I think he's in thailand. :) [00:57] so not sure if it's still "tonight" over there. :) [00:58] HAHA, gotcha [00:58] is there another way to get a hold of him? email address? [01:31] Not sure [01:45] do you know how to add a new page? Or do we need Wil? [02:21] :| laptop unplugged. :( [11:14] Good morning [11:20] So, anyone want to present Ubuntu on Windows for a future MUG Meeting? :) [11:20] jcastro? [11:41] Ubuntu on Windows? [11:42] I heard bash on Windows, is that what you're talking about? [12:00] yes [12:00] well likely [12:00] i can't speak for cmaloney [12:00] its super interesting though [12:00] the idea of a windows subsytem with ABI compatibility for linux ELF executables [12:29] Yeah, that's what I'm talking about [12:32] https://github.com/edreamleo/python-to-coffeescript [12:43] python-to-coffeescript-to-es6-to-es5-to-asmjs-to-webassembly [12:56] heh [13:21] cmaloney: in the fall maybe? I don't think it's available yet [13:21] Now now now now now. ;) [13:21] When is it supposed to be available? [13:22] they said "a few weeks" [13:22] but didn't really commit to a date [13:22] so is that a beta in a few weeks? [13:22] * cmaloney apparently doesn't want to read press releases. ;) [13:23] not much to present either. its a standard ubuntu image ;] [13:23] Heh [13:42] cmaloney: if you really want details, I just retweeted a post by @katco_ with a link to video which goes pretty good into details. [13:50] jrwren: Not seeing the tweer [13:50] tweet [13:51] Oh, yay... Twitter's Web INterface is goofed up. [13:51] jrwren: Thanks. Downloading the video. [13:52] I'm sure this will come up at MUG so someone should have some info on it. ;) [13:52] it's not every day the seas part and hell freezes over. [13:53] indeed. [14:18] yeah, it will come as a windows 10 update at some point [14:19] from watching the videos they've said "a few weeks" and it for sure is going to be part of the summer update [14:19] so I would assume beta in a few weeks, with final in the summer [14:27] someone said as soon as a few days, if you are a windows insider and on the fast right or something? [14:34] so this is just going to be a bash shell in Win10? [14:34] sort of Cygwinish. [14:36] its ubuntu, the exactly same root tarball as cloud images used in all the public clouds. [14:36] cygwin recompiles everything to windows CEOFF binaries. [14:37] huh. interesting. [14:41] I have a Win10 partition but I barely boot into it anymore. Usually just go straight to Ubuntu. Might be something interesting to play with but not all that useful for me since I spend the majority of my time in Ubuntu anyhow. [14:43] yup. [14:44] its primarily a developer tool. They are really targetting the ruby, python, nodejs programmers who struggle to get things to work on windows. [14:44] There is a giant group of dev (I used to be one) who like to use tools in windows, but also target those platforms. [14:54] Yeah, this is not for the Ubuntu / Linux faithful [14:55] more for those who are stuck between both worlds. [14:56] esp corporate types who are forced to run windows [14:56] Yeah, I was thinking that this morning [14:56] although it's for corp types that allow external software loads. [14:56] ^ [14:56] but if MS is providing it then there's an air of authority [14:56] yup :[ [14:57] Yeah, we aren't allowed to load anything on our laptops here. [14:57] I'm hoping it's more of a bridge for folks to target so Linux games continue to show up but with less friction [14:58] Though who wants to bet this will be utilized as some sort of cross-platform malware delivery system if it's installed by default? :) [15:53] msft just open sourced the closed source parts of xamarin [15:55] Nardelli took the right bits from Sun Microsystems [15:55] WAT?
