lubot<kc2bez> @Lyn Perrine [who made the Lubuntu bridge bot pictures was that vikingredwolf?], That is Lenny of borg, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Marketing/Lenny19:25
wxl^^ i.e. yes19:40
wxlbtw lyn please give yourself a telegram username or us irc users can't @ you19:41
lynorianyes ok19:41
lynoriandone19:43
wxlthx :)19:44
lubot<eosmurfineos> Hi everyone, longtime lubuntu user(15.04>) finally getting around to contributing.20:51
lubot<tsimonq2> Hey :D20:52
lubot<tsimonq2> What would you like to help us with?20:52
lubot<eosmurfineos> @wxl [<wxl> btw lyn please give yourself a telegram username or us irc users can't @ y …], Speaking of which, can I tag someone on irc across the Bridge Bot?20:52
wxl@eosmurfineos assuming they have their client set up correctly, you just did :)20:53
wxlgenerally `nick: message` is a good go to20:53
lubot<eosmurfineos> @tsimonq2 [What would you like to help us with?], Bits of documentation, testing .iso images.20:57
wxl@eosmurfineos #1 docs need is proofreading. you could start on that immediately. adding to it certainly would help as well, though. see @lynorian.21:01
wxl@eosmurfineos regarding testing, i assume you saw the docs? that, too, you can start immediately. get in there and see what bugs you can find and file them! hit me up if you have questions.21:01
wxl@eosmurfineos good to have you and looking forward to your contributions!!!!!!21:02
lubot<eosmurfineos> Already found some minor typos, is Launchpad the preferred method for submitting?21:06
wxlnope. code is hosted at phab.lubuntu.me21:07
lubot<eosmurfineos> @wxl [<wxl> nope. code is hosted at phab.lubuntu.me], Yes, I am logging in to phab via GitHub, phab is a new environment for me, can I edit and commit right in phab?21:09
wxlyep21:10
lubot<eosmurfineos> @wxl [<wxl> yep], Ok, I'll go read some more docs.21:11
wxllet me know if you have questions21:11
wxlanyone here have interest in managing some sort of forum for us?22:08
wxli.e. being the primary contact, responding to all the inquiries, coordinating with other folks to find answers, etc.?22:09
lubot<tsimonq2> I can do that22:28
lubot<tsimonq2> I think we should set up a Discourse instance22:28
wxlbeing an admin of a forum and actually doing all the work is another22:29
wxlyou sure you want to be that guy?22:29
wxli don't think you do, knowing you as i do22:29
wxlthat said a discourse instance would be great. i've heard we can set it up to tie in somehow with the mailing list. that would be even better. bridge all the things.22:31
lubot<kc2bez> It seems overwhelming for just one person, I think we will all need a part in it. Tying it into the mailing list could help with that.22:33
wxlyeah. i can tell you right now i probably won't log into a forum. but i'd reply to an email.22:34
wxli think this person could simply do the task of gathering info and disseminating it and acting as a conduit between users and the team. it's potentially not that terrible.22:35
wxlbut i think if we just set it up without naming someone to be sort of in charge, it will go the way of facebook, where we have a group but no one wants to bother with it22:35
lubot<SamuelBanya> Why not just make it on Mastadon instead?23:14
wxlbecause that's not a forum23:14
lubot<SamuelBanya> Well just giving an alternative to Facebook. That being said I could help out too. Like Dan said it might be too much for one person but I'll consider it if it's straightforward with what's expected. I am also interested in possibly helping with the Wiki as well.23:17
wxli don't really care about facebook honestly. that's kind of the issue. none of us like it. but people that want to use it want to use facebook, not some alternative.23:17
wxlbut this wasn't necessarily about facebook.23:17
wxlpeople were specifically talking about how they'd like to see a forum, to make finding solutions easier, and better being able to search23:18
lubot<SamuelBanya> I get the point. You want a direct forum for things that might not necessarily be bug tickets23:18
wxl*i* would just use a mailing list, but i'm not everyon :)23:19
lubot<SamuelBanya> I'm curious if we could also link a ticketing system like Jira or zendesk with this too.23:19
wxlnaw, we already have a bug tracker. two of them if we want to be really technical.23:19
lubot<SamuelBanya> Fair enough23:19
lubot<SamuelBanya> Anyway just saying I wouldn't mind doing forum administrator stuff if I could possibly help on the back end too, i would have an interest in that23:20
wxlwell then if and when we get something up and running, i'll make sure to pin that badge on you :)23:20
lubot<SamuelBanya> That would be cool. Again as long as it involves some slight system admin stuff id love to do it.23:21
wxl@tsimonq2: so there you go, we got someone to manage the forum23:23
guivercwxl, I can help out (forum) & do what I can. disseminating info is what I've done with uwn for years..  I have no experience with forums (excluding askubu which is forum like maybe)23:27
wxlguiverc: as @tsimonq2 mentioned, we'd probably be thinking of a discourse instance23:28
guiverci'm on community.ubu [discourse.ubu] now & again, but have no idea beyond user level stuff  (but I could learn [slowly])23:31
* wxl shrugs23:32
wxli don't think it will need much23:32
wxlmainly just communication23:32
guiverccomms I believe I can do  (just how well you can decide, -news etc) .. 23:36
guivercwxl & tsimonq2 - any clues on where i got stuck with `arc diff` & blanking directory  (email)23:36
wxltonight i'm going to try to get to that guiverc 23:37
guivercthanks wxl 23:38
guiverc(I realize you're super busy - why I've not pushed!)23:38
wxli think it's pretty easy but i need to be able to concentrate on it and i'm like right in the middle of trying to put out some obnoxious fire at work that i think i've finally figured out23:39
