[00:56] <shakes808> ??? NFC ???
[00:56] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's wil
[00:56] <cmaloney> THough I don't know who runs the root chc site
[00:56] <rick_h_> yea, so waf1 is the owner
[00:56] <rick_h_> it's on google code hosting thingy, or was last I knew
[00:57] <shakes808> Thank you guys.
[00:57] <shakes808> waf1: how are you doing tonight?
[00:57] <cmaloney> I think he's in thailand. :)
[00:57] <cmaloney> so not sure if it's still "tonight" over there. :)
[00:58] <shakes808> HAHA, gotcha
[00:58] <shakes808> is there another way to get a hold of him?  email address?
[01:31] <cmaloney> Not sure
[01:45] <shakes808> do you know how to add a new page? Or do we need Wil?
[02:21] <shakes808> :| laptop unplugged.  :(
[11:14] <cmaloney> Good morning
[11:20] <cmaloney> So, anyone want to present Ubuntu on Windows for a future MUG Meeting? :)
[11:20] <cmaloney> jcastro?
[11:41] <wolfger> Ubuntu on Windows?
[11:42] <wolfger> I heard bash on Windows, is that what you're talking about?
[12:00] <mrgoodcat> yes
[12:00] <mrgoodcat> well likely
[12:00] <mrgoodcat> i can't speak for cmaloney
[12:00] <mrgoodcat> its super interesting though
[12:00] <mrgoodcat> the idea of a windows subsytem with ABI compatibility for linux ELF executables
[12:29] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's what I'm talking about
[12:32] <cmaloney> https://github.com/edreamleo/python-to-coffeescript
[12:43] <mrgoodcat> python-to-coffeescript-to-es6-to-es5-to-asmjs-to-webassembly
[12:56] <cmaloney> heh
[13:21] <jcastro> cmaloney: in the fall maybe? I don't think it's available yet
[13:21] <cmaloney> Now now now now now. ;)
[13:21] <cmaloney> When is it supposed to be available?
[13:22] <jcastro> they said "a few weeks"
[13:22] <jcastro> but didn't really commit to a date
[13:22] <cmaloney> so is that a beta in a few weeks?
[13:22]  * cmaloney apparently doesn't want to read press releases. ;)
[13:23] <jrwren> not much to present either. its a standard ubuntu image ;]
[13:23] <cmaloney> Heh
[13:42] <jrwren> 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] <cmaloney> jrwren: Not seeing the tweer
[13:50] <cmaloney> tweet
[13:51] <cmaloney> Oh, yay... Twitter's Web INterface is goofed up.
[13:51] <cmaloney> jrwren: Thanks. Downloading the video.
[13:52] <cmaloney> I'm sure this will come up at MUG so someone should have some info on it. ;)
[13:52] <cmaloney> it's not every day the seas part and hell freezes over.
[13:53] <jrwren> indeed.
[14:18] <jcastro> yeah, it will come as a windows 10 update at some point
[14:19] <jcastro> 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] <jcastro> so I would assume beta in a few weeks, with final in the summer
[14:27] <jrwren> someone said as soon as a few days, if you are a windows insider and on the fast right or something?
[14:34] <hpucks> so this is just going to be a bash shell in Win10?
[14:34] <hpucks> sort of Cygwinish.
[14:36] <jrwren> its ubuntu, the exactly same root tarball as cloud images used in all the public clouds.
[14:36] <jrwren> cygwin recompiles everything to windows CEOFF binaries.
[14:37] <hpucks> huh.  interesting.
[14:41] <hpucks> 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] <jrwren> yup.
[14:44] <jrwren> 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] <jrwren> 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] <cmaloney> Yeah, this is not for the Ubuntu / Linux faithful
[14:55] <cmaloney> more for those who are stuck between both worlds.
[14:56] <jrwren> esp corporate types who are forced to run windows
[14:56] <cmaloney> Yeah, I was thinking that this morning
[14:56] <cmaloney> although it's for corp types that allow external software loads.
[14:56] <hpucks> ^
[14:56] <cmaloney> but if MS is providing it then there's an air of authority
[14:56] <jrwren> yup :[
[14:57] <hpucks> Yeah, we aren't allowed to load anything on our laptops here.
[14:57] <cmaloney> 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] <cmaloney> 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] <jrwren> msft just open sourced the closed source parts of xamarin
[15:55] <cmaloney> Nardelli took the right bits from Sun Microsystems
[15:55] <jrwren> WAT?
