[00:13] <holden_daugherty> Hello Ubuntu Ohio!
[00:25] <Unit193> Howdy.
[00:31] <Unit193> dzho: That's not a lot of info. :P
[00:32] <Unit193> ..Yes, I did avoid the "Not a lot of forking info there, mate" joke. >_>
[00:42] <holden_daugherty> whois Unit193
[00:53] <Unit193> Unit193 is a person.  (Yes, I figure you just forgot the /)
[01:08] <Unit193> holden_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. ;)
[01:15] <dzho> Unit193: patches welcome
[01:16] <Unit193> dzho: ...Can I put Ubuntu there as a fork of Debian? :>
[01:16] <dzho> sure!
[01:16] <Unit193> I don't have GitLab, so I'll have to format-patch and email. :>
[01:16] <dzho> honestly, I consider Ubuntu amongst the best examples of a fully realized right-to-fork.
[01:16] <dzho> which speaks very well of Debian!
[01:17] <dzho> Unit193: 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.
[01:18] <Unit193> `git request-pull`
[01:18] <dzho> somewhere around here I have a reference to a thread proposing standards for interoperating amongst web forges
[01:19] <dzho> like, you could do pull requests or merge requests or whatever from one type of hosted repository to another.
[01:20] <dzho> also, TIL this is a thing https://public-inbox.org/README.html
[01:20] <jenni> [ public-inbox - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists ] - https://bit.ly/2Bqu9Q2
[01:20] <Unit193> I actually follow most Debian mailing lists via archives.
[01:20]  * dzho nods
[01:21] <Unit193> And I can even post most of the time since they tend to be open lists (so lots of spam.)
[01:21] <dzho> eek
[01:21] <dzho> yeah
[01:22] <dzho> email 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)
[01:23] <dzho> but it is also one of the wildly successful and still massively useful examples of true federation
[01:23] <Unit193> I 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] <Unit193> Yes, quite.
[02:01] <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 shot
[02:02] <Unit193> I'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. :P
[02:03] <Unit193> holden_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_daugherty> nice! 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.
[02:04] <holden_daugherty> Unit193: I wondered if there was much Linux meetups or anything around Ohio. I know I haven't heard of anything.
[02:04] <Unit193> I haven't actually used Ubuntu proper for a while, only Xubuntu and the server edition.
[02:04] <Unit193> holden_daugherty: Akron area has some meetups from what I understand.
[02:05] <holden_daugherty> Thats a little trek for me about four-five hours. I guess if it were like a weekend deal that wouldn't be to bad.
[02:06] <holden_daugherty> I have Ubuntu budgie on this machine and lubuntu or one laptop and solus 3 on the other. 
[02:07] <holden_daugherty> I really like solus too!
[02:07] <holden_daugherty> PyOhio wouldn't be just a linux event would it? That
[02:08] <holden_daugherty> * is the Python meedup correct?
[02:10] <Unit193> Python indeed.
[02:13] <holden_daugherty> I like Python, not very good at it but I would like to learn more. It seems to be a pretty hot language on stackoverflow.
[02:28] <dzho> holden_daugherty: if you're 4-5 hours from Akron you must be way SW
[02:28] <dzho> down in my old stomping grounds
[02:30] <dzho> oh, wait.
[02:30] <dzho> that can't even be in ohio is it?
[02:31] <dzho> that's at most 4 hours cinci to akron?
[02:31]  * dzho was too young to drive most of the time living in Ohio
[02:43] <holden_daugherty> dzho 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 though
[02:45] <holden_daugherty> 2hr 57mins to akron. Last time I was there I was probably 12. lol
[02:53] <dzho> heh
[02:53] <dzho> I guess it depends on traffic, probably heaviest at Cinci, Columbus, maybe some at Akron too
[21:08] <thafreak> holden_daugherty: Cinci should have some meetups and a LUG with regular meetings.
[21:08] <thafreak> Wasn't one of the regulars in here from the area? belkinsa or something similar to that?
[21:08] <Unit193> I know of a DD in that area.
[21:09] <thafreak> Oh? Wait, did he speak at OLF this year?
[21:10] <Unit193> No, but according to him he was actually there.
[21:10] <Unit193> ...Wait, yes he did.
[21:14] <thafreak> I think I know who you're talking about then. I met him at a PyOhio a couple of years ago
