[14:16] I'm Shahriar btw... tux_ I forgot your name.. sorry [14:17] tanjim [14:17] oh ok I was guessing so [14:17] that's why said little :P [14:19] nickname register kore kivabe vule gechi :( [14:20] I think your nick was registered already? [14:21] type /msg nickserv identify [14:21] yah.... but wanna change it [14:21] then password [14:21] ohh [14:21] ops [14:22] identify er jaygay ki nickname dibo?? [14:22] then /msg nickserv register password youremailid [14:22] if your nick is not registered earlier === ashabadi_ is now known as ashabadi [14:26] Kilos: can you guide AudaciousTUX how to revive the loco activity? [14:26] he was actually interested to revive the project... [14:26] cool [14:26] yah :) [14:26] firstly invite as many here as possible [14:27] okay [14:27] i have been here daily for many months now [14:27] and pavlushka also appears when he has power [14:27] you were so lonely I guess :( [14:28] i am on 14 ubuntu channels i thinks [14:28] tough to manage? [14:28] sometimes i battle to keep up [14:29] hmm [14:29] missing nusha :( [14:29] the problem we had earlier in this channel was that we did not have linux experts [14:30] mostly young guys who are eager to volunteer/write article/distribute disks [14:30] but rarely dedicated experts out there [14:30] thats not a prob. pavlushka is quite clued up [14:31] that's great [14:31] and ill help where i can and point guys to where they can get more expert help [14:31] we had provided support via mailing list which was pretty active till a year ago [14:32] i prefer irc for helping guys, mailing lists become painful [14:32] irc is almost face to face help [14:33] yes mailing list takes time to resolve problem... irc is instant [14:34] but in todays fast world its tough to encourage people to move to irc instead of facebook/imo/viber [14:34] or telegram :p [14:34] yes i agree [14:34] but to get ahead in ubuntu one has to use irc [14:35] your fb is over 400 members if i remember right [14:35] there must be linux experts there as well [14:36] the thing is to get them to hangout here as well [14:36] fb is over 12k users yet we don't find members hanging out here [14:37] strange [14:37] you guys need to invite them [14:37] even now only you and I are talking... AudaciousTUX is sleeping :P [14:37] lol [14:38] :p [14:38] i'm eating :v [14:38] ok ok dinner or Iftari? [14:40] iftari [14:40] what is that? [14:41] Muslims fast during the holy month of Ramadan, they break their fast at Sunset with "Iftari" [14:41] oh yes [14:41] i have many muslim friends in africa [14:42] good to hear :) [14:42] http://ubuntu-africa.info [14:42] that was my mission [14:42] yes already there [14:42] to connect all linux users in africa [14:43] even viewed your launchpad/wiki page [14:43] google does wonder :D [14:43] lol [14:43] yeah [14:43] tanjim.me... meh, trying to write some useless blog :v [14:46] :) [14:46] my blog is long dead so is our loco webpage ubuntu-bd.org [14:46] we must fix all of those things [14:47] missing linux.org.bd :'( [14:47] hmm we are finding it tough to get experts give effort in fixing the loco page/forum/irc [14:48] even I'm here I think after almost a year [14:48] get pavel involved [14:48] he learns fast [14:48] and i'm finding for a website .... all forums are dead... :3 [14:49] would be great [14:50] it just takes a few to get together and then invite the FB guys to join in [14:50] hmm true [14:50] we had initiated several times but people don't stay for long [14:51] telegram groum has 43 members.... [14:51] keep your eyes open for pavlushka [14:51] oddly irc client is preinstalled in all the flavour and it is not that hard to login [14:51] sure I will AudaciousTUX will you be here regularly? [14:51] the whole secret of a successful channel is to makes friends with everyone [14:51] yah... :) [14:52] ok great [14:52] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/pavelsayekat [14:52] yes him [14:52] but not all flavours have irc preinstalled... [14:52] get accuinted with Pavel [14:52] unity one of them [14:53] oo irc not preinstalled in Ubuntu ? :S :o [14:53] nope [14:53] did not know [14:53] not even in antergos [14:55] AudaciousTUX: in which hosting you have your blog? [14:55] btw... i have to go now.... my mom will crush me :3 [14:55] trance host? [14:55] currently using my friend's hosting [14:56] ill be quiet here for a while guys [14:56] sure Kilos no issue [14:56] coudn't affort money for hosting :v [14:56] AudaciousTUX: how is it as a service? we can start working on developing webpage for linux again [14:57] I'm not finding reliable hosting/domain reseller that's why am stuck on my personal blog too [14:57] i'm happy with namecheap customer service [14:58] and hosting is good enough... atleast for me [14:58] hmm [14:58] but i think there's better alternative hosting than this... [14:59] I don't have paypal access so I don't think I will be able to purchase from there [14:59] umm.... same problem :p [15:00] i'll return after 3-4h [15:01] I will be gone by then [15:01] oh :( [15:01] I have office tomorrow can't stress much [15:02] umm.... where's russel vai :( [16:02] অনেকদিন পর এলুম [16:02] কেউ আছেন ? [16:03] hi tareq [16:03] শাহরিয়ার তারিক? [16:03] ashabadi talk to him [16:03] পুরনো লোক কে আছেন ? [17:18] sleep tight bangladesh [17:19] see you tomorrow [19:20] pavlushka: hello pavel bhai [19:20] hello [19:21] sorry I was away for long I think Tareq bhai came and left [19:22] how is it going on? you have been regular on IRC? [19:22] almost [19:23] good... I thought IRC was dead for long [19:24] you are currently studying? or working? [19:24] or both? [19:24] ashabadi: both, but not academically [19:25] then? [19:25] Plaese, looks like you know, me, can you tell me about you [19:25] *please [19:26] no I do not know much about you.... :) only thing I know about you is your wiki id & introduction from kilos [19:26] I mean I am studying by myself, not academically. [19:27] 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] ashabadi: your LP page please. [19:28] I will have to google it :P [19:28] launchpad account [19:29] https://launchpad.net/~tariq86 [19:30] not been active for long... almost 4 years I suppose [19:30] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ShahriarTariq [19:31] ok, ashabadi , I know you, an admin of bd-loco! [19:31] lol bd loco is dead [19:32] and I was not an admin, rather contributor/promoter [19:32] but not you [19:32] partilally dead... [19:32] when you stop giving time to things that matters to you you do die a bit [19:33] may be [19:33] but its good that you are [19:33] back [19:33] I have been on and off [19:34] I think you are already in facebook group.. right? [19:34] yep [19:34] it would be nice if you can discuss with people there and try to revive the loco again [19:35] I shall try my best to give support to you [19:35] I am not the admin [19:35] you don't have to be an admin [19:35] to contribute [19:35] and that would be great [19:35] when I started I was not an admin [19:35] yeah, I do contribute [19:35] I know you do [19:36] 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] I think I can try retrieving old tutorials what ever can be retrived/reused [19:37] currently there are no landing page [19:39] It needs a little money for the domain and hosting that I cant afford right now., :) [19:41] it should not be a problem if we really set on doing it [19:41] I am on, who else? [19:41] but again making the page is not that much effort... the real issue is maintaining & contributing to it [19:42] last time all thing went hayware cause we did not have time/effort to give [19:42] I am trying to be here and maintain it as a help contributor! [19:42] I think Tanjim is interested, and if searched in FB group few others would be interested [19:42] we got here zaki from chittagong [19:43] bring your friends over on irc to make this channel a good place to talk about [19:43] He is in FB-BD too [19:43] yes have talked to him in the past [19:45] and we have a group of FB friends here https://web.facebook.com/groups/767836696651246/?ref=bookmarks [19:46] its redundent to have differrent fb page... but carry on any way you wish to help people [19:46] its a bit quicker to get help and less restrictive. [19:48] and we are friends [19:48] when group grows restriction needs to be there... you will get it over tiime :) [19:49] 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. [19:50] no issue carry on... [19:51] 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, :) [19:53] I am not available [19:53] already taken.... [19:53] by life :( [19:53] ashabadi: so you got married I guess, :p [19:54] ashabadi: You are still alive not dead, look at your nick, its ashabadi .. [19:55] there is a long story behind that nick [19:55] its sort of auto suggestions [19:55] yes I got married but even my wife does not get much time from me... [19:56] ashabadi: but after that it got a meaning, your nick. [19:57] 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] give 20 minutes to Ubuntu daily, if that is possible., be here. [19:57] daily won't be possible.. perhaps I will be available on Thursday night [19:57] though can't promise anything [19:58] and give the rest of your time to your wife [19:58] in the past I tried but could not manage time/effort [19:58] ashabadi: Yes that can promise a lot, to us , who are trying, it means we are not alone. [19:58] and even if I come here I don't think I will be discussing about Ubuntu anymore [19:58] someone else is there, and atleast knows that we are trying. [19:59] humm true [19:59] ashabadi: not necessary, you can give us a 20 minute fun break, :p [20:00] everything counts. [20:00] yup [20:01] when are you normally available?? tonight you came late... [20:01] actually, this is my usual time, coz the power becomes stable around this time, :( [20:02] hmm [20:02] And Its Ramadan, So not possible before 11 PM but other time I am available withing 10 PM [20:03] ok [20:03] hope to catch you soon (atleast within next 1 year) [20:03] But if I am free , and online at any time in the day, I am here as well then. [20:03] have to sign off for tonight... have office tomorrrow [20:03] okay [20:03] sure, goodnight [20:04] good night to you too.... [20:04] sleep tight [20:04] * ashabadi waves at pavlushka [20:04] good wishes for your wife. [20:04] tnx [20:04] * pavlushka waves back [20:05] * 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
