| genii | BobJonkman: That article about elevators was pretty interesting | 14:45 |
|---|---|---|
| BobJonkman | I was thinking of you when I read it! | 14:46 |
| BobJonkman | http://sn.jonkman.ca/conversation/605858#notice-969352 | 14:46 |
| chile | any body into ubuntu cloud | 14:48 |
| BobJonkman | chile: Do you mean the UbuntuOne service? I used it briefly, but I don't like putting my personal stuff on someone else's server. | 14:49 |
| BobJonkman | And I think UbuntuOne no longer exists... | 14:49 |
| chile | no sir | 14:50 |
| chile | i want to use ubuntu server for sharing services for my office users | 14:51 |
| BobJonkman | chile: What kind of services? | 14:51 |
| chile | office softwares and storag | 14:52 |
| chile | this has got huge scope in INdia | 14:52 |
| chile | i am looking for a team | 14:54 |
| chile | i can work with | 14:54 |
| chile | and offer solutions | 14:54 |
| BobJonkman | There's a great integrated office suite available at https://wiki.enterpriselibre.org/index.php/Main_Page | 14:55 |
| BobJonkman | Everything runs as remote access sessions on a GNU/Linux server | 14:55 |
| BobJonkman | I haven't used it yet, but it looks promising. | 14:56 |
| BobJonkman | Of course, there's always Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com/ | 14:56 |
| BobJonkman | That's "Enterprise grade" file sharing, some collaboration. No real collaborative applications, tho. | 14:57 |
| bregma | chile, do you mean using Ubuntu server in the cloud, like Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure? | 14:57 |
| chile | yes | 14:58 |
| chile | but aws is costly implementation | 14:58 |
| chile | i want local smaller implementation f the same | 14:58 |
| bregma | chile, http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/openstack | 14:59 |
| chile | bregma i installed it on my laptop | 14:59 |
| chile | to see and explre it..but it needs a lot more than that | 14:59 |
| chile | u see | 14:59 |
| bregma | not my area of expertise I'm afraid, I just know of its existence and let my IT department handle the details | 15:00 |
| BobJonkman | chile: Do you mean you want to find a local hosting VPS provider? | 15:00 |
| chile | i want to be one | 15:01 |
| BobJonkman | chile: Aahhh! Good idea! | 15:01 |
| bregma | http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/openstack/autopilot | 15:02 |
| chile | bregma bob..any help appreciated | 15:02 |
| chile | when i tried doint it i could not go beyond maas | 15:04 |
| chile | because it started asking details of h/w i dint had | 15:04 |
| BobJonkman | chile: I've been wanting to install a VPS management tool for a while. Right now I'm using VirtualBox on my laptop for development, but my laptop drive is at capacity and it's not portable, and not accessible to clients unless I happen to be online. | 15:04 |
| chile | so u do use virtual box as live | 15:05 |
| chile | ? | 15:05 |
| * genii makes another pot of coffee | 15:05 | |
| chile | can i do that | 15:05 |
| BobJonkman | chile: But I've only got as far as you. I get to the MAAS installatin screen, think "This would be really great, but no time right now", and leave it for a few months until the next Ubuntu release come out | 15:05 |
| chile | bregma.. ur team uses autopilot?? | 15:07 |
| BobJonkman | chile: I've run VirtualBox for demonstrations; eg. I've set up several GNUsocial instances or ownCloud instances so the audience can actually play with the software and follow along as I'm doing the demonstration | 15:07 |
| chile | from what i i understand not much things can be done owncloud | 15:08 |
| chile | u see | 15:08 |
| BobJonkman | chile: But it's a one-time use, not intended for production | 15:08 |
| chile | not it cant be | 15:08 |
| BobJonkman | chile: I do run ownCloud and GNUsocial in production for my own use. | 15:08 |
| BobJonkman | But those instances run on a physical server, not a VPS. | 15:09 |
| chile | ya got it | 15:09 |
| chile | i installed owncloud on my domain | 15:09 |
| chile | but all this things are not actually contributing | 15:09 |
| chile | u know whatsapp comes easier than this | 15:09 |
| * BobJonkman does a quick search to find out what Whatsapp is.. | 15:10 | |
| chile | ohk im sorry whatsapp is like wechat and gtalk | 15:11 |
| BobJonkman | Hmm... Seems like the client app only, no server software available. And proprietary clients at that... | 15:11 |
| chile | no no | 15:12 |
| chile | for that use telegram | 15:12 |
| chile | point is it should be practicle even if local | 15:12 |
| BobJonkman | I run a Prosody XMPP server, that provides real-time communication. I'm at xmpp:bjonkman@sobac.com if you want to connect with a Jabber client | 15:12 |
| BobJonkman | Open standards are the only standards for me! | 15:13 |
| chile | correct | 15:15 |
| chile | bob noted ur jabber i will catch u once i reach home ..see ya | 15:17 |
| BobJonkman | Bye chile! | 15:17 |
| * BobJonkman notices genii's coffee | 15:18 | |
| genii | I wonder whatever happened to AccessGrid | 15:18 |
| * genii slides BobJonkman a fresh mug | 15:18 | |
| BobJonkman | Aahhh. | 15:19 |
| BobJonkman | genii: AccessGrid website still exists, but it looks like the software was last update in 2010 http://www.accessgrid.org/ | 15:22 |
| genii | I thought they had it also on github or another git site, but can't seem to find it | 15:26 |
| bregma | What happened to accessgrid? Smart phones and walled-garden app stores lured people like the heroin dealer on the corner, that's what. | 15:27 |
| bregma | It's so easy, just a little pinprick in your data stream and you think of nothing else. | 15:28 |
| BobJonkman | bregma: sad... | 15:28 |
| BobJonkman | Just as I thought we were making progress in the Free Software world, suddenly we're all hippie anarchist radicals again | 15:29 |
| bregma | some of us never stopped | 15:29 |
| bregma | just getting a little slower in the morning | 15:29 |
| * BobJonkman is a proud hippie anarchist radical | 15:30 | |
| bregma | I would classify myself as an anarcho-syndicalist, but I have enjoyed a good Grateful Dead concert in my time | 15:30 |
| * genii hums Casey Jones | 15:31 | |
| harsh410 | hi bob | 15:47 |
| BobJonkman | Hi harsh410 | 16:06 |
| harsh410 | sent a request on your jabber | 16:08 |
| harsh410 | harsh410 | 16:08 |
| harsh410 | we were discussing the cloud | 16:09 |
| genii | Interesting, github accessgrid last commit was July 2012. Couple years later than the version on the main site, but of course, still 4 years ago now. Going to tinker with it a bit today. | 16:14 |
