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