Kilos | hi ashabadi_ | 12:54 |
---|---|---|
Kilos | i see you pinged me , can i help you? | 13:12 |
ashabadi_ | no | 13:54 |
ashabadi_ | sorry I was away | 13:54 |
Kilos | np | 13:54 |
ashabadi_ | I was just checking if any human was available or not that's it | 13:55 |
Kilos | haha ok | 13:55 |
ashabadi_ | are you from Bangladesh?? | 13:55 |
Kilos | nope | 13:55 |
ashabadi_ | ohh ok... | 13:55 |
ashabadi_ | from where then? it was a Bangladeshi channel previously | 13:56 |
Kilos | it still is, im from the membership board trying to revive things | 13:56 |
Kilos | im in south africa | 13:56 |
ashabadi_ | oh ok great | 13:57 |
Kilos | pavlushka should popin some time | 13:57 |
ashabadi_ | yes things are almost dead here :( today we were discussing that its a dead project so thought to check it out | 13:57 |
Kilos | i know he has been having power issues | 13:57 |
Kilos | you are welcome to help revive things | 13:58 |
Kilos | its almost a world wide problem with locos fading | 13:58 |
Kilos | mainly from traditional things like irc | 13:58 |
Kilos | everyone has gone facebook crazy | 13:59 |
ashabadi_ | actually I had to leave due to my job... now a days I don't get to have much spare time to invest over internet | 13:59 |
ashabadi_ | hmmm that's actually bad thing | 13:59 |
ashabadi_ | cause documentation is non existant in fb | 13:59 |
ashabadi_ | I hate it | 13:59 |
Kilos | so do i | 13:59 |
Kilos | but we will slowly grow this channel and get things going again | 14:00 |
Kilos | just need more guys to hang out here | 14:00 |
ashabadi_ | at one point we had 500 strong member pool with dedicated support & volunteer group | 14:01 |
ashabadi_ | but then everyone got busy and the transition was not good | 14:01 |
ashabadi_ | now even when we invite members this channel is largly remains vacant | 14:04 |
ashabadi_ | your background story and mine are almost similar :) | 14:06 |
Kilos | in south africa we ar strong on irc and always someone there to help | 14:11 |
Kilos | its the rest of the world | 14:12 |
Kilos | people can join FB but they cant apply for ubuntu membership from it | 14:12 |
Kilos | i am busy with the loco council to see if we can make some or other plan to help fb users get involved in ubuntu itself | 14:13 |
Kilos | you guys have many clever people there | 14:13 |
ashabadi_ | lol really? good to know that | 14:14 |
ashabadi_ | hi little tux_ | 14:14 |
tux_ | hei | 14:14 |
Kilos | hi tux_ | 14:15 |
tux_ | real name kar ki?? :3 | 14:15 |
ashabadi_ | Kilos was just saying that people should move from FB and back to irc | 14:15 |
ashabadi_ | tux_: kilos is from South Africa | 14:15 |
tux_ | yah... | 14:16 |
ashabadi_ | I'm Shahriar btw... tux_ I forgot your name.. sorry | 14:16 |
tux_ | tanjim | 14:17 |
ashabadi_ | oh ok I was guessing so | 14:17 |

ashabadi | Kilos: can you guide AudaciousTUX how to revive the loco activity? | 14:26 |
ashabadi | he was actually interested to revive the project... | 14:26 |
Kilos | cool | 14:26 |
AudaciousTUX | yah :) | 14:26 |
Kilos | firstly invite as many here as possible | 14:26 |
AudaciousTUX | okay | 14:27 |
Kilos | i have been here daily for many months now | 14:27 |
Kilos | and pavlushka also appears when he has power | 14:27 |
ashabadi | you were so lonely I guess :( | 14:27 |
Kilos | i am on 14 ubuntu channels i thinks | 14:28 |
ashabadi | tough to manage? | 14:28 |
Kilos | sometimes i battle to keep up | 14:28 |
ashabadi | hmm | 14:29 |
AudaciousTUX | missing nusha :( | 14:29 |
ashabadi | the problem we had earlier in this channel was that we did not have linux experts | 14:29 |
ashabadi | mostly young guys who are eager to volunteer/write article/distribute disks | 14:30 |
ashabadi | but rarely dedicated experts out there | 14:30 |
Kilos | thats not a prob. pavlushka is quite clued up | 14:30 |
ashabadi | that's great | 14:31 |
Kilos | and ill help where i can and point guys to where they can get more expert help | 14:31 |
ashabadi | we had provided support via mailing list which was pretty active till a year ago | 14:31 |
Kilos | i prefer irc for helping guys, mailing lists become painful | 14:32 |
Kilos | irc is almost face to face help | 14:32 |
ashabadi | yes mailing list takes time to resolve problem... irc is instant | 14:33 |
ashabadi | but in todays fast world its tough to encourage people to move to irc instead of facebook/imo/viber | 14:34 |
AudaciousTUX | or telegram :p | 14:34 |
Kilos | yes i agree | 14:34 |
Kilos | but to get ahead in ubuntu one has to use irc | 14:34 |
Kilos | your fb is over 400 members if i remember right | 14:35 |
Kilos | there must be linux experts there as well | 14:35 |
Kilos | the thing is to get them to hangout here as well | 14:36 |
ashabadi | fb is over 12k users yet we don't find members hanging out here | 14:36 |
Kilos | strange | 14:37 |
Kilos | you guys need to invite them | 14:37 |
ashabadi | even now only you and I are talking... AudaciousTUX is sleeping :P | 14:37 |
Kilos | lol | 14:37 |
AudaciousTUX | :p | 14:38 |
AudaciousTUX | i'm eating :v | 14:38 |
ashabadi | ok ok dinner or Iftari? | 14:38 |
AudaciousTUX | iftari | 14:40 |
Kilos | what is that? | 14:40 |
ashabadi | Muslims fast during the holy month of Ramadan, they break their fast at Sunset with "Iftari" | 14:41 |
Kilos | oh yes | 14:41 |
Kilos | i have many muslim friends in africa | 14:41 |
ashabadi | good to hear :) | 14:42 |
Kilos | http://ubuntu-africa.info | 14:42 |
Kilos | that was my mission | 14:42 |
ashabadi | yes already there | 14:42 |
Kilos | to connect all linux users in africa | 14:42 |
ashabadi | even viewed your launchpad/wiki page | 14:43 |
ashabadi | google does wonder :D | 14:43 |
Kilos | lol | 14:43 |
Kilos | yeah | 14:43 |
AudaciousTUX | tanjim.me... meh, trying to write some useless blog :v | 14:43 |
ashabadi | :) | 14:46 |
ashabadi | my blog is long dead so is our loco webpage ubuntu-bd.org | 14:46 |
Kilos | we must fix all of those things | 14:46 |
AudaciousTUX | missing linux.org.bd :'( | 14:47 |
ashabadi | hmm we are finding it tough to get experts give effort in fixing the loco page/forum/irc | 14:47 |
ashabadi | even I'm here I think after almost a year | 14:48 |
Kilos | get pavel involved | 14:48 |
Kilos | he learns fast | 14:48 |
AudaciousTUX | and i'm finding for a website .... all forums are dead... :3 | 14:48 |
ashabadi | would be great | 14:49 |
Kilos | it just takes a few to get together and then invite the FB guys to join in | 14:50 |
ashabadi | hmm true | 14:50 |
ashabadi | we had initiated several times but people don't stay for long | 14:50 |
AudaciousTUX | telegram groum has 43 members.... | 14:51 |
Kilos | keep your eyes open for pavlushka | 14:51 |
ashabadi | oddly irc client is preinstalled in all the flavour and it is not that hard to login | 14:51 |
ashabadi | sure I will AudaciousTUX will you be here regularly? | 14:51 |
Kilos | the whole secret of a successful channel is to makes friends with everyone | 14:51 |
AudaciousTUX | yah... :) | 14:51 |
ashabadi | ok great | 14:52 |
ashabadi | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/pavelsayekat | 14:52 |
Kilos | yes him | 14:52 |
AudaciousTUX | but not all flavours have irc preinstalled... | 14:52 |
ashabadi | get accuinted with Pavel | 14:52 |
AudaciousTUX | unity one of them | 14:52 |
ashabadi | oo irc not preinstalled in Ubuntu ? :S :o | 14:53 |
AudaciousTUX | nope | 14:53 |
ashabadi | did not know | 14:53 |
AudaciousTUX | not even in antergos | 14:53 |
ashabadi | AudaciousTUX: in which hosting you have your blog? | 14:55 |
AudaciousTUX | btw... i have to go now.... my mom will crush me :3 | 14:55 |
ashabadi | trance host? | 14:55 |
AudaciousTUX | currently using my friend's hosting | 14:55 |
Kilos | ill be quiet here for a while guys | 14:56 |
ashabadi | sure Kilos no issue | 14:56 |
AudaciousTUX | coudn't affort money for hosting :v | 14:56 |
ashabadi | AudaciousTUX: how is it as a service? we can start working on developing webpage for linux again | 14:56 |
ashabadi | I'm not finding reliable hosting/domain reseller that's why am stuck on my personal blog too | 14:57 |
AudaciousTUX | i'm happy with namecheap customer service | 14:57 |
AudaciousTUX | and hosting is good enough... atleast for me | 14:58 |
ashabadi | hmm | 14:58 |
AudaciousTUX | but i think there's better alternative hosting than this... | 14:58 |
ashabadi | I don't have paypal access so I don't think I will be able to purchase from there | 14:59 |
AudaciousTUX | umm.... same problem :p | 14:59 |
AudaciousTUX | i'll return after 3-4h | 15:00 |
ashabadi | I will be gone by then | 15:01 |
AudaciousTUX | oh :( | 15:01 |
ashabadi | I have office tomorrow can't stress much | 15:01 |
AudaciousTUX | umm.... where's russel vai :( | 15:02 |

Kilos | sleep tight bangladesh | 17:18 |
Kilos | see you tomorrow | 17:19 |
ashabadi | pavlushka: hello pavel bhai | 19:20 |
pavlushka | hello | 19:20 |
ashabadi | sorry I was away for long I think Tareq bhai came and left | 19:21 |
ashabadi | how is it going on? you have been regular on IRC? | 19:22 |
pavlushka | almost | 19:22 |
ashabadi | good... I thought IRC was dead for long | 19:23 |
ashabadi | you are currently studying? or working? | 19:24 |
ashabadi | or both? | 19:24 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: both, but not academically | 19:24 |
ashabadi | then? | 19:25 |
pavlushka | Plaese, looks like you know, me, can you tell me about you | 19:25 |
pavlushka | *please | 19:25 |
ashabadi | no I do not know much about you.... :) only thing I know about you is your wiki id & introduction from kilos | 19:26 |
pavlushka | I mean I am studying by myself, not academically. | 19:26 |
ashabadi | ok not bad :) sometime selfmade person goes a long way.. good to know that you have time and effort to be involved in free software movement | 19:27 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: your LP page please. | 19:27 |
ashabadi | I will have to google it :P | 19:28 |
pavlushka | launchpad account | 19:28 |
ashabadi | https://launchpad.net/~tariq86 | 19:29 |
ashabadi | not been active for long... almost 4 years I suppose | 19:30 |
ashabadi | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ShahriarTariq | 19:30 |
pavlushka | ok, ashabadi , I know you, an admin of bd-loco! | 19:31 |
ashabadi | lol bd loco is dead | 19:31 |
ashabadi | and I was not an admin, rather contributor/promoter | 19:32 |
pavlushka | but not you | 19:32 |
ashabadi | partilally dead... | 19:32 |
ashabadi | when you stop giving time to things that matters to you you do die a bit | 19:32 |
pavlushka | may be | 19:33 |
pavlushka | but its good that you are | 19:33 |
pavlushka | back | 19:33 |
ashabadi | I have been on and off | 19:33 |
ashabadi | I think you are already in facebook group.. right? | 19:34 |
pavlushka | yep | 19:34 |
ashabadi | it would be nice if you can discuss with people there and try to revive the loco again | 19:34 |
ashabadi | I shall try my best to give support to you | 19:35 |
pavlushka | I am not the admin | 19:35 |
ashabadi | you don't have to be an admin | 19:35 |
ashabadi | to contribute | 19:35 |
pavlushka | and that would be great | 19:35 |
ashabadi | when I started I was not an admin | 19:35 |
pavlushka | yeah, I do contribute | 19:35 |
ashabadi | I know you do | 19:35 |
ashabadi | I meant that why not start a project to build an address a webpage/landing address? consolidating the solutions posted in fb in that portal would be nice | 19:36 |
ashabadi | I think I can try retrieving old tutorials what ever can be retrived/reused | 19:36 |
ashabadi | currently there are no landing page | 19:37 |
pavlushka | It needs a little money for the domain and hosting that I cant afford right now., :) | 19:39 |
ashabadi | it should not be a problem if we really set on doing it | 19:41 |
pavlushka | I am on, who else? | 19:41 |
ashabadi | but again making the page is not that much effort... the real issue is maintaining & contributing to it | 19:41 |
ashabadi | last time all thing went hayware cause we did not have time/effort to give | 19:42 |
pavlushka | I am trying to be here and maintain it as a help contributor! | 19:42 |
ashabadi | I think Tanjim is interested, and if searched in FB group few others would be interested | 19:42 |
pavlushka | we got here zaki from chittagong | 19:42 |
ashabadi | bring your friends over on irc to make this channel a good place to talk about | 19:43 |
pavlushka | He is in FB-BD too | 19:43 |
ashabadi | yes have talked to him in the past | 19:43 |
pavlushka | and we have a group of FB friends here https://web.facebook.com/groups/767836696651246/?ref=bookmarks | 19:45 |
ashabadi | its redundent to have differrent fb page... but carry on any way you wish to help people | 19:46 |
pavlushka | its a bit quicker to get help and less restrictive. | 19:46 |
pavlushka | and we are friends | 19:48 |
ashabadi | when group grows restriction needs to be there... you will get it over tiime :) | 19:48 |
pavlushka | the point is , all of them I know and my FB Friends, so they wont do some offensive thing and I can react after all. | 19:49 |
ashabadi | no issue carry on... | 19:50 |
pavlushka | But I hope before My group will grow to that size, Ubuntu-bd-loco will regrow, and good news is we got +1 now, you, :) | 19:51 |
ashabadi | I am not available | 19:53 |
ashabadi | already taken.... | 19:53 |
ashabadi | by life :( | 19:53 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: so you got married I guess, :p | 19:53 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: You are still alive not dead, look at your nick, its ashabadi .. | 19:54 |
ashabadi | there is a long story behind that nick | 19:55 |
ashabadi | its sort of auto suggestions | 19:55 |
ashabadi | yes I got married but even my wife does not get much time from me... | 19:55 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: but after that it got a meaning, your nick. | 19:56 |
ashabadi | infact she often leaves me for not giving her enough time... currently she is away at her mother's house for the same reason | 19:57 |
pavlushka | give 20 minutes to Ubuntu daily, if that is possible., be here. | 19:57 |
ashabadi | daily won't be possible.. perhaps I will be available on Thursday night | 19:57 |
ashabadi | though can't promise anything | 19:57 |
pavlushka | and give the rest of your time to your wife | 19:58 |
ashabadi | in the past I tried but could not manage time/effort | 19:58 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: Yes that can promise a lot, to us , who are trying, it means we are not alone. | 19:58 |
ashabadi | and even if I come here I don't think I will be discussing about Ubuntu anymore | 19:58 |
pavlushka | someone else is there, and atleast knows that we are trying. | 19:58 |
ashabadi | humm true | 19:59 |
pavlushka | ashabadi: not necessary, you can give us a 20 minute fun break, :p | 19:59 |
pavlushka | everything counts. | 20:00 |
ashabadi | yup | 20:00 |
ashabadi | when are you normally available?? tonight you came late... | 20:01 |
pavlushka | actually, this is my usual time, coz the power becomes stable around this time, :( | 20:01 |
ashabadi | hmm | 20:02 |
pavlushka | And Its Ramadan, So not possible before 11 PM but other time I am available withing 10 PM | 20:02 |
ashabadi | ok | 20:03 |
ashabadi | hope to catch you soon (atleast within next 1 year) | 20:03 |
pavlushka | But if I am free , and online at any time in the day, I am here as well then. | 20:03 |
ashabadi | have to sign off for tonight... have office tomorrrow | 20:03 |
ashabadi | okay | 20:03 |
pavlushka | sure, goodnight | 20:03 |
ashabadi | good night to you too.... | 20:04 |
ashabadi | sleep tight | 20:04 |
* ashabadi waves at pavlushka | 20:04 | |
pavlushka | good wishes for your wife. | 20:04 |
ashabadi | tnx | 20:04 |
* pavlushka waves back | 20:04 | |
* ashabadi signs out and says good night to all the good folks in the IRC and wishes Ubuntu takes over the world in his dream | 20:05 |
