holden_daughertyHello Ubuntu Ohio!00:13
Unit193Howdy.00:25
Unit193dzho: That's not a lot of info. :P00:31
Unit193..Yes, I did avoid the "Not a lot of forking info there, mate" joke. >_>00:32
holden_daughertywhois Unit19300:42
Unit193Unit193 is a person.  (Yes, I figure you just forgot the /)00:53
Unit193holden_daugherty: So what brings you to this neck of the woods?  I'd guess Ubuntu and living in Ohio, but that's just a guess. ;)01:08
dzhoUnit193: patches welcome01:15
Unit193dzho: ...Can I put Ubuntu there as a fork of Debian? :>01:16
dzhosure!01:16
Unit193I don't have GitLab, so I'll have to format-patch and email. :>01:16
dzhohonestly, I consider Ubuntu amongst the best examples of a fully realized right-to-fork.01:16
dzhowhich speaks very well of Debian!01:16
dzhoUnit193: or if you want to clone it and put it in your gitolite+cgit and ... do whatever one does to indicate where a patch is.01:17
Unit193`git request-pull`01:18
dzhosomewhere around here I have a reference to a thread proposing standards for interoperating amongst web forges01:18
dzholike, you could do pull requests or merge requests or whatever from one type of hosted repository to another.01:19
dzhoalso, TIL this is a thing https://public-inbox.org/README.html01:20
jenni[ public-inbox - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists ] - https://bit.ly/2Bqu9Q201:20
Unit193I actually follow most Debian mailing lists via archives.01:20
* dzho nods01:20
Unit193And I can even post most of the time since they tend to be open lists (so lots of spam.)01:21
dzhoeek01:21
dzhoyeah01:21
dzhoemail as a whole suffers very greatly from tragedy-of-the-commons on the one hand (as you describe), and from enclosure (eg, being mediated via proprietary silos)01:22
dzhobut it is also one of the wildly successful and still massively useful examples of true federation01:23
Unit193I actually registered Bitbucket because if offered what I needed whereas others didn't (at the time), I intentionally avoided github quite well, until I no longer could.  I'm not opposed to Gitlab, since I hear they also have private repos which can be useful.  As far as email, yeah I try to avoid sending those as much as I can, not fond of 'em.01:23
Unit193Yes, quite.01:23
holden_daugherty@Unit193 that would be a great guess. I'm actually fairly new to linux as a whole. And no one I know uses it so I heard of this IRC "thing" and decided to give it a shot02:01
Unit193I'm not really sure if anyone I know here locally uses it either as a hobby, but I know a guy that deploys a few thousand at a time or so. :P02:02
Unit193holden_daugherty: We're not usually very active in this channel, the biggest Ohio thing is either pyohio or OLF once a year.02:03
holden_daughertynice! I love it so far I've tried several distros and I just keep coming back to Ubuntu. I do believe I found my home.02:03
holden_daughertyUnit193: I wondered if there was much Linux meetups or anything around Ohio. I know I haven't heard of anything.02:04
Unit193I haven't actually used Ubuntu proper for a while, only Xubuntu and the server edition.02:04
Unit193holden_daugherty: Akron area has some meetups from what I understand.02:04
holden_daughertyThats a little trek for me about four-five hours. I guess if it were like a weekend deal that wouldn't be to bad.02:05
holden_daughertyI have Ubuntu budgie on this machine and lubuntu or one laptop and solus 3 on the other. 02:06
holden_daughertyI really like solus too!02:07
holden_daughertyPyOhio wouldn't be just a linux event would it? That02:07
holden_daugherty* is the Python meedup correct?02:08
Unit193Python indeed.02:10
holden_daughertyI like Python, not very good at it but I would like to learn more. It seems to be a pretty hot language on stackoverflow.02:13
dzhoholden_daugherty: if you're 4-5 hours from Akron you must be way SW02:28
dzhodown in my old stomping grounds02:28
dzhooh, wait.02:30
dzhothat can't even be in ohio is it?02:30
dzhothat's at most 4 hours cinci to akron?02:31
* dzho was too young to drive most of the time living in Ohio02:31
holden_daughertydzho I am. I'm about 45 mins or less from Kentucky. I don't know exact distance and time to Akron though its a pretty good haul though02:43
holden_daugherty2hr 57mins to akron. Last time I was there I was probably 12. lol02:45
dzhoheh02:53
dzhoI guess it depends on traffic, probably heaviest at Cinci, Columbus, maybe some at Akron too02:53
thafreakholden_daugherty: Cinci should have some meetups and a LUG with regular meetings.21:08
thafreakWasn't one of the regulars in here from the area? belkinsa or something similar to that?21:08
Unit193I know of a DD in that area.21:08
thafreakOh? Wait, did he speak at OLF this year?21:09
Unit193No, but according to him he was actually there.21:10
Unit193...Wait, yes he did.21:10
thafreakI think I know who you're talking about then. I met him at a PyOhio a couple of years ago21:14
