How are you? <BluesKaj> just fine thanks s-fox :) , and you ? <s-fox> BluesKaj, Not too bad thank you :) Having a good weekend? <BluesKaj> yes , so far so good here <s-fox> =) <BluesKaj> and there , s-fox ? <s-fox> We are experiencing freaky weather patterns. Bit of a heatwave going on. :/ <s-fox> It is too hot to do anything, lol <BluesKaj> a bit warm here as well 28C today , so far ...above the avg for georgian bay/north channel area <s-fox> We are at 22 but sun was at its hottest ~4 hours ago. Would guesstimate it reached 28 <BluesKaj> s-fox, where are you located? <s-fox> I am stuck in UK :/ Only really pop in to see if starcraft.man is about. We go way back ;) <BluesKaj> ok, cool <BluesKaj> daughter spent the fall and winter in London UK , but her contract ran out ...wasn't renewed due to gov't funding .. but she had a positive experience there <s-fox> Good to hear the experience was positive. <ball> Is it the future yet? <BobJonkman> ball: If you wait a bit, it'll be the future soon. <dscassel> That reminds me of a song... http://youtu.be/LDiDK_yBCw0 #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-04 <Greta> Hi, all! :) <BluesKaj> hi Greta <Greta> how is everyone this evening? <BluesKaj> fine, but not many ppl here tonight <uhohuhoh> Hello, anyone around? <uhohuhoh> I'm in a bit of trouble... <ball> Yup <uhohuhoh> Sweet! <uhohuhoh> When my computer boots up, I'm getting a "error: unkown filesystem", and then a "grub rescue>" console. <uhohuhoh> I tried to do a bit of reading, and I understand I'm in rescue mode <ball> uhohuhoh: Time to re-image and reach for your backup I should think. <uhohuhoh> when I hit ls, to see the partitions <uhohuhoh> I had a Win7 partition - is that destroyed too? <ball> uhohuhoh: Potentially. You had that backed up too, right? <uhohuhoh> No, but it's not a particularly big deal :/ <uhohuhoh> when I hit ls <uhohuhoh> I do see a bunch of "msdosX" partitions, where x is a number <uhohuhoh> No linux partitions. * ball isn't very familiar with grub, though I'm told its what we have to use with Linux these days. <uhohuhoh> Hmm <uhohuhoh> so I couldn't load any of the other partitions? * ball shrugs * ball <- not familiar with grub <uhohuhoh> Darn, alright, thanks. <uhohuhoh> Where else could I go apart form #ubuntu? <ball> uhohuhoh: This is probably as good a place as any, though in my experience #ubuntu-uk is often busier. That said, it's 03:32 there now. <uhohuhoh> I'll try that <uhohuhoh> Thanks for your help so far! <BluesKaj> Hiyas #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-05 <willwh> hey guys :D <willwh> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1796928 <willwh> any ideas? ;] <willwh> I shall try #ubuntu-support in a bit :) <BluesKaj> Hiyas <johanbr> slightly offtopic question: does anyone know of a place that sells NTP-aware alarm clocks? <dscassel> johanbr: Have you looked at Chumby-powered devices? http://www.chumby.com/pages/learn_alarm <dscassel> I picked up a cheap, Insignia-branded chumby device from Best Buy in the states. It's pretty cool. <dscassel> Don't use it for an alarm clock, but I easily could... <dscassel> Open hardware too. :D <willwh> hey guys :) <willwh> anyone using google voice? <willwh> I am not talking about google talk - but rather voice, for calling outbound <willwh> there's a plugin for windows for multiple browsers <willwh> although I don't see a way to do it in *nix <willwh> I am running chromium atm <willwh> have ff too ofc <willwh> ah ha :) <willwh> http://www.google.com/chat/video/download.html <willwh> works like a charm :) <johanbr> dscassel, that does look pretty nice... thank you! <johanbr> willwh, I think Empathy works for that too <johanbr> in case you prefer that over a browser plugin <willwh> oh, interesting <willwh> I don't think it allows you to call a phone number though <willwh> or at least I assume <willwh> I don't see an option for it <willwh> calling/txting for free in the US and Canada from your pc? gold :D <johanbr> willwh, apparently I was wrong about that <johanbr> empathy can't call voice numbers via google at the moment <johanbr> it would work in an ideal world, but I was told google kind of abuses the jabber protocol #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-06 <BluesKaj> Howdy <dscassel> Morning BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hey dscassel * genii-around makes a pot of coffee, passes the mugs around, then goes back to work <dscassel> Thanks, genii-around :) <genii-around> Anytime, of course! #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-07 <BluesKaj> Hey all <willwh> howdy :) * genii-around lovingly prepares a pot of coffee #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-08 <youcanlinux> howdy <willwh> howdy <dscassel> Hey guys. <BluesKaj> hey folks <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj :) <BluesKaj> Hi dscassel <willwh> morning folks <genii-around> willwh: Morning :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-09 <potatoes> Hello! <maverickpi> Good evening :D <willwh> howdy <KombuchaKip> Subset of the Avaneya Crew Handbook now available on www.avaneya.com including recovered images from the Viking Lander. <willwh> yah I got yer mail mate :) <willwh> how goes KombuchaKip ? <KombuchaKip> willwh: Nice.

It's at 150 pages now and packed with a lot of information. <willwh> very nice <willwh> I just got home from the hospital :) <KombuchaKip> willwh: How's Callum? <KombuchaKip> willwh: Pinch his cheek for me eh? <willwh> I did, as instructed, haha <KombuchaKip> willwh: Nice ;) <willwh> he's well.... wriggly tonight <willwh> and lots of hiccups :] <KombuchaKip> willwh: haha <willwh> I didn't realize how much my world would shrink <willwh> he is about all I can think about atm <KombuchaKip> willwh: Paternal instinct hardwiring. <willwh> it's rather awesome... and I hate leaving him there :( <KombuchaKip> willwh: I would do. Hospitals aren't the best places for anyone. <KombuchaKip> *would too <BluesKaj> Hiyas <willwh> hi guys :) <willwh> so I have an xbox kinect hooked up - using openkinect bits <willwh> I am thinking there must be a way to use the main camera and mic for video/voice #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-10 <BluesKaj> Howdy #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-11 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <dscassel> Reminder: meeting tomorrow... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-07-12 <dscassel> There's not much on the agenda, so if you have <dscassel> ideas/comments/questions/thoughts/whatever you want to talk about <dscassel> related to the LoCo, show up and let us know. <dscassel> (Or ping me outside the meeting. That's cool too) <gord_> hello radio <gord_> wow, guess it really *was* a short meeting... <dscassel> gord_: Tomorrow. :) <dscassel> Although, if I can help (I'm heading out in a few minutes, mind you). <gord_> early by a day... sigh <gord_> often, it seems, something comes up and then by the time I remember, hours have gone by and I've missed it again <gord_> thanks anyway Darcy #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-12 <BluesKaj> hey folks <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hi dscassel <dscassel> Meeting in 1/2 an hour. <dscassel> I'm heading to Kwartzlab if any KW people want to join me there. (Looking at you, BobJonkman :) <hakimsheriff> Helloe everybody <BobJonkman> O Hai, dscassel <BobJonkman> Just got home to Elmira. Feeling a bit baffed, would rather be NIFOC <hakimsheriff> Have a meeting in 15 minutes, right? <BobJonkman> By ourselves, if necessary <fhassouneh> hello everyone <BobJonkman> Hi there, fhassouneh <fhassouneh> Hi BobJonkman <BobJonkman> I'm thinking dscassel is in transit to #kwartzlab, so he may not yet be at a terminal (that's his irssi presence in the channel) <dscassel> Back! <dscassel> Meeting in 10 <BobJonkman> Yay! * BobJonkman is looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-07-12 <dscassel> Thanks, BobJonkman :) <dscassel> Like I said, not a lot on the agenda. Anybody want to add anything? <BobJonkman> How about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek <dscassel> Oh yeah! <dscassel> Mentioned it last time, but it bears repeating. <BobJonkman> Should be on now... <BobJonkman> Ah, I guess the last session today ended at 5:00pm EDT <dscassel> Runs all week! * BobJonkman grabs a last-minute beverage, and prepares to compute outside on the back deck <dscassel> Hold on, denting the meeting. <dscassel> (People should follow @UbuntuWaterloo on twitter/identica, btw. That's me). <dscassel> (There's no Ubuntu Canada account, but people can use !ubuntuca on identica or #ubuntuca on Twitter. <dscassel> Meeting start! Introductions are in order. <dscassel> Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing for/with Ubuntu? <dscassel> I'm Darcy, in Waterloo.

I study computer engineering and I work in signal and image processing <hakimsheriff> I am Hakim Sheriff, in Montreal, I distribute "Powered By Ubuntu" STickers for System76 (Temporarily not since I am moving) and I try to help here and there. <dscassel> Awesome! Welcome, fhassouneh. <txwikinger> o/ <dscassel> Is there much of an Ubuntu community in St John's? Any LUGs or anything? <dscassel> Hi, hakimsheriff :) <hakimsheriff> Hi Fouad! <fhassouneh> I think most of my Data structures class use ubuntu <fhassouneh> but we dont have any community here <hakimsheriff> Hey dscassel <fhassouneh> hi hakimsheriff <fhassouneh> hey dscassel <dscassel> Cool. U Waterloo's CS and Math departments are all ubuntu now. :) <txwikinger> dscassel: rgreening is in St. Johns <dscassel> Mass Call!

My name's Kip. I'm the principle developer behind the Avaneya project, a cerebral science fiction game for Ubuntu (www.avaneya.com). <KombuchaKip> I'm from White Rock, British Columbia, and sometimes Vancouver. <dscassel> Hi Kip. :) <FiReSTaRT> hey darcy\ <BobJonkman> BobJonkman is Bob Jonkman from Elmira, ON, just north of Waterloo <FiReSTaRT> dropped in for a couple, but watching copa america <FiReSTaRT> chile playing peru <KombuchaKip> dscassel: Hey man. Check out what the Avaneya VikingExtractor pulled out yesterday.

Is that all rendered, or just the lander superimposed on Mars photos? * BobJonkman grumbles about yet more logging inning <KombuchaKip> dscassel / BobJonkman: It's real. Very exciting. Details on how we got it out here: https://www.avaneya.com/temp/Avaneya%20Crew%20Handbook.pdf <KombuchaKip> BobJonkman: That you certainly don't need to login for. * txwikinger is on his way <dscassel> KombuchaKip: That's cool. I was assuming Avaneya was just the game. <dscassel> See you soon, txwikinger :) <dscassel> Okay, we don't have much of an agenda today, but we should get started... <KombuchaKip> dscassel: It is, but we needed the Viking Lander images to make the material shaders realistic. <dscassel> Events! * BobJonkman grumbles that he has to log into http://ubuntuforums.org and not https://ubuntuforums.org <BobJonkman> Sorry. <dscassel> Ubuntu Global Jam is coming up September 2-4. <dscassel> We're going to host a jam here at Kwartzlab (the hackerspace in KW) <KombuchaKip> BobJonkman: Don't worry. Soon we'll have them all in PNG for you to download. <dscassel> There seemed to be interest in hosting one in Toronto at Free Geek, but I haven't heard what's going on with that. <dscassel> I need to hunt down a point contact person there. <dscassel> If people want to run one, it's pretty fun. <dscassel> Not as easy as an Ubuntu Hour, but a great way to get people contributing to the project. <dscassel> Anybody running (heard about) other Jams? <dscassel> I'm assuming that's a no. <zeroedout> nope :) <hakimsheriff> nope <fhassouneh> nope <dscassel> hakimsheriff: Nothing in Montreal? <hakimsheriff> dscassel: not sure <dscassel> (Quebec has its own loco, but I like to know these things so I can tell people about them if they ask. :) <hakimsheriff> Im not very involved with Ubuntu Quebec <dscassel> hakimsheriff: Still haven't made it out to an Ubuntu hour, eh? <hakimsheriff> not really, <hakimsheriff> im currently VERY busy <dscassel> MagicFab's a good guy. I'm looking forward to meeting him next month. :) <BobJonkman> Are you going to MagicFab, or is MagicFab coming to KW? <dscassel> BobJonkman: I'm going to Montreal. :) <dscassel> Anyway, Ubuntu Developer Week is on this week in #ubuntu-classroom. <dscassel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek <dscassel> If you're interested in programming for or on Ubutu, it's a great place to learn about different technologies and techniques. <fhassouneh> Thanks a lot dscassel <dscassel> no problem, fhassouneh :) <dscassel> Hope it's helpful. <dscassel> I've attended in the past. <dscassel> I kinda forgot about it this week (doesn't help I'm at work when it's going). <fhassouneh> oh ok, it should be interesting <dscassel> I'll probably fire up Lernid and have it running in the montgomeryrobert@example.net. <dscassel> Ubuntu Vancouver's Randall Ross is running a similar event: Ubuntu Community Week. <dscassel> Similar, but about building the community. <sipherdee> dscassel: thanks for mentionning it again, i am back from vacation so i will check #ubuntu-classroom. <dscassel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCommunityWeek <dscassel> No problem, sipherdee :) <dscassel> It's July 18-22 in #ubuntu-classroom. <dscassel> (Although I think they're pushing Lernid, because you get slides and it's easier for non-technical people). <cgroza> Too late for the meeting? <dscassel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid <dscassel> cgroza: Nope! We're still going. <dscassel> Although we're coming to the end of the posted agenda. <dscassel> Anybody else running, know of events they'd like to talk about? <BobJonkman> Is the Ubuntu CD Bribery Program still on? <dscassel> Assuming the answer is no, anything I can do to convince you it's a good idea? <dscassel> BobJonkman: Yeah, but no bites. <dscassel> Ubuntu CD Bribery Program is I will send you a package of 10 CDs if you run an Ubuntu Hour in your town, and post pictures/blog about it. <dscassel> A bargain! <dscassel> I'll probably throw in stickers and buttons too. :D <BobJonkman> Maybe I can distribute some CDs at events like the Guelph Web Makers Meetup and the KW Design/Developers Meetup <hakimsheriff> Be Right Back, <dscassel> Ubuntu Hours are fun and easy! You just find a nice cafe somewhere, advertise when you're going to be there (twitter/identica/forums/the mailing list/loco.ubuntu.com) <dscassel> And people show up! You meet other cool Ubuntu people! And you can make nefarious plans for release parties and whatnot. :D <dscassel> Or you dont' have to talk about ubuntu at all, if other things come up. <dscassel> Totally informal. <dscassel> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour/ <BobJonkman> And we have one in KW next Wednesday <dscassel> Yup! <dscassel> BobJonkman: I brought CDs for you to KWLUG, but you weren't there. :( <dscassel> I'll have some to give you next week. * hakimsheriff is back! <dscassel> yay! <BobJonkman> *grins* because #gwmm is tomorrow... <BobJonkman> But #kwdm is the week after Ubuntu Hour <dscassel> BobJonkman: You should be here! I've got them in my car. :) <BobJonkman> That'll teach me... <dscassel> fhassouneh: You should totally run an Ubuntu Hour in St John's. <dscassel> Anything else anyone wants to talk about? <fhassouneh> dscassel: I think its a great idea, i think i'll run one soon, i just need some information and ill definitely find some ppl to help me here <dscassel> fhassouneh: Great! <dscassel> Yeah, see if you can get in touch with rgreening. :D <dscassel> And let me know if you have any questions about it. There's really nothing to it. <fhassouneh> ok i think it will be a fun experience <dscassel> We gotta get one going regularly in Linuxcaffe in Toronto. I should poke the Free Geek guys. <fhassouneh> by the way all the computers at memorial univerity have ubuntu 8.04 installed on them <dscassel> fhassouneh: Yeah, that's where U Waterloo is too. <fhassouneh> dscassel: yeah thats awesome <dscassel> I'm just happy I'm able to run Ubuntu at work now. No more Windows! :D <BobJonkman> I've been running rogue Ubuntu at work for about 6 months. <dscassel> BobJonkman: I'm making it possible for other developers to run Ubuntu at work too. :D <BobJonkman> Need Virtual Box to run WinXP for MS-only apps like OneNote and Exchange (because the Exchange server is too damaged to properly deal with UTF-8 in SMTP) <dscassel> Our old IDE is Windows-only. I'm making a new cross-platform one based on Eclipse. :D <dscassel> BobJonkman: Yeah. I need IE for a few things still. <dscassel> I installed Crossover Pro trial to get Office running because I need to mark up Word docs sometimes. <dscassel> (I'm thinking the meeting is pretty much over, btw. But I'll be around for a bit if anyone wants to chat) <BobJonkman> I'm hoping the money argument will win over management types to adopt Linux - no OS license fees, no server license fees, no application license fees... <dscassel> BobJonkman: For us, we support Linux for our customers, but developers aren't testing it. <BobJonkman> Maybe we should form a special interest group, the Ubuntu Rogues <fhassouneh> nice to meet everyone today, sand I'll keep u all updated about the ubuntu hour :) <fhassouneh> have to go now <dscassel> Getting developers developing on Linux cuts down on embarassing bugs. <BobJonkman> Bye fhassouneh! <dscassel> See you, fhassouneh. thanks for coming out. :) <fhassouneh> dscassel: see you <hakimsheriff> fhassouneh: Goodbye! <dscassel> BobJonkman: Ubuntu Rogues. I like that. Infiltrate and assimilate. :D #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-13 <BobJonkman> I envision the Rogues with cloth caps at jaunty angles, silk scarves trailing in the wind, and black leather jackets so shiny you can see your reflection. <BobJonkman> Almost, but perhaps not entirely unlike https://s16-us2.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/sf?f=39aefd376f33452190f2b75ad00e7204.jpg&anticache=68899 <BobJonkman> OK, if the fun and frivolity is at an end, then this Rogue must go shopping before the stores close. <BobJonkman> Bye all! <dscassel> See you, BobJonkman_AFK :) <BobJonkman> OK, IRC meeting minutes and log are now up: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-07-12 <dscassel> Thanks, BobJonkman :D <BluesKaj> Hi all <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hey dscassel <BluesKaj> I missed the meeting last evening due to a jam at my buddy's place ...is there a meeting log somewhere ? <dscassel> Yup. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-07-12 <dscassel> Today's Ubuntu Developer Week sessions start in 10 minutes. <dscassel> (join #ubuntu-classroom or install Lernid. :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-14 <youcanlinux> howdy <BobJonkman> Hi, youcanlinux! <youcanlinux> Hi, Bob. How are you? <BobJonkman> Just got back from #gwmm, pretty good presentations <youcanlinux> what's that about ? <BobJonkman> http://www.meetup.com/Guelph-Web-Maker-Meetup/ <BobJonkman> For anyone doing anything with Web pages <youcanlinux> Before I did the wordpress thing for my youcanlinux blog, i kept a real simple web site, plain html, no fancy stuff. <youcanlinux> Now I want to set up moodle. <BobJonkman> What's a moodle? <BobJonkman> "Nuttin'. Whatsa moodle wid you?" <youcanlinux> It's like a wiki thing, a CMS, content-management system... <youcanlinux> Anyway, I want to approach private schools and daycare centers and see if they'd be interested in free educational software using Linux and other alternative operating systems. <BobJonkman> Sadly, that's a hard sell <youcanlinux> I've got one place using it for about 2 years now. <youcanlinux> Good morning <BluesKaj> Hiyas all <youcanlinux> anyone use edubuntu ? <foodle> Hi! anyone has any news of MagicFab?? <foodle> I'm trying to get in contact with him for a project... <willwh> hmm <willwh> not seen for a little bit <willwh> I have a question too, how do you set the main group for a user from the command line/ :] <BluesKaj> willwh,, best to ask in #ubuntu <willwh> yeah will do <youcanlinux> chmod and chgrp <youcanlinux> gruess, howdy <youcanlinux> i mean chown and chgrp <youcanlinux> . <BluesKaj> !seperatehome #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-15 <BluesKaj> Hi all <willwh> howdy :)) #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-16 <BluesKaj> Hiyas all <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> Hi dscassel #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-17 <BluesKaj> Howdy #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-18 <BluesKaj> Hi all <nigelb> hi, does anyone know how to get in touch with randal? <dscassel> nigelb: he's in #ubuntu-classroom now. :) <dscassel> (randall ross, I'm assuming) <dscassel> Speaking of which, Ubuntu Community Week is on now in #ubuntu-classroom (and on Lernid)... <nigelb> dscassel: He wasn't around then, which is why I went looking :) <dscassel> Looks like he made it on time. :) <dscassel> He doesn't really hang out on IRC much that I can tell... <nigelb> ah :) <locodir-user> hello <locodir-user> anyone there? <BluesKaj> yup <dscassel> I'm guessing locodir-users are here as a result of Ubuntu Community Week.... #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-19 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <cvillaco__> hey ubuntu loco <cvillaco__> those were some nice sessions for community week huh? #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-20 <BluesKaj> hiyas <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> Hi dscassel <dscassel> Is it as hot up there as it is down here? <BluesKaj> not quite ...it's cloudy here ...t-storms on the way ..gonna be 28 today ...it was 31 montgomeryrobert@example.net tomorrow , but no 34 like you guys <dscassel> Ubuntu Hour in Waterloo tonight!

CS? Engineering? Law? Sociology? <dscassel> What's your undergrad? <kenjy> dscassel: Iam a Computer Networking Engineer <kenjy> dscassel: so information technology or computer science should be the field or the area <dscassel> I'm only a little bit familiar with grad programs, and then only really the University of Waterloo... <dscassel> The Engineering grad programs there would probably be a better fit. The CS programs are very theoretical and math-focused. <kenjy> dscassel: but I have an issue here, months ago I applyed for a Permanent Resident Card, it should be here in January <dscassel> Ah, and immigration is something I have almost zero exposure too. :) <kenjy> dscassel: and I don't if I should apply as a PR or International Student <kenjy> and I don't know* if ... <dscassel> If you can apply as a resident, that would amost certainly be a lot cheaper.. <kenjy> Engineering grad programs should be the better option <kenjy> dscassel: the University of Waterloo requires an English test? I mean for Canadian or residents? <kenjy> you know ... I don't have the best english here and obviously Im not a native speaker ... <dscassel> kenjy: Both. I had to take the ELPE. :P <kenjy> dscassel: hahaha okay <dscassel> What's your native language? <kenjy> dscassel: spanish :) <dscassel> Cool. Where you from? <kenjy> dscassel: Mexico <kenjy> I have been here for a while but more than a listener hehehe <kenjy> I mean in the channel <dscassel> Well, everybody's welcome. Sorry we're kind of boring. :) <dscassel> Where are you planning on settling, or have you figured that out yet? <kenjy> dscassel: I applied to immigrate to Canada last year and now I'm close to finish the process however I am interested in a master degree and well here you usually speak about free software and linux meetings at universities, I would like to study a masters in technology area in a university where I could find a good and strong free and open source software community as a plus <dscassel> kenjy: Awesome. <dscassel> If you're here in October, FSOSS/Toronto Linux Fest is looking for speakers. First round deadline is this weekend. http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2011/PresentationProposal <dscassel> The Free Software community seems to be a bit diverse and spread out. We're pretty active here in Waterloo, and I hear there's interesting stuff in Vancouver and Montreal... <dscassel> Not a lot of people working to bring it all together. I'm trying, but I'm just one guy. :) <kenjy> dscassel: tnks for the invitation :D <kenjy> dscassel: when you say Vancouver you mean at the Vancouver university? <dscassel> Vancouver the city. <dscassel> They've got a couple universities. University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser, I think. <BluesKaj> university of victoria or uvic , is on vancouver island , small city but very nice <BluesKaj> son studied there , dunno how techie that school is tho...might worth checking <kenjy> BluesKaj: okay <dscassel> BluesKaj: Yeah, I've been to Victoria. Nice place. Haven't been to UVic, tho. <kenjy> tnks for all your information guys <dscassel> np. :) <BluesKaj> but I guess waterloo is the ultratech/computer engineering school in Canada <dscassel> It's definitely up there, yeah. <dscassel> Other universities (Toronto, Queen's in Kingston, probably others outside Ontario that I'm less familiar with) also have good engineering programs... <BluesKaj> I 2worked wth some guys that graduated from waterloo in the 70s ...already had a decent engineering school and reputation by that time <kenjy> what about the weather? I come from a tropical weather country and I only have been on Vancouver in summer 6 years ago and past january (1month), is the weather really hard in Waterloo? <dscassel> It's current 34 degrees celcius. :P <dscassel> The winters can get nasty, but the've been reasonbly mild the last few years. <dscassel> Still, prepare for snow and really cold (-20 or below) days come January or February. <dscassel> Vancouver's much milder. Also much wetter. <kenjy> dscassel: hoooooooooooooooooooooo my ... -20? wooooooooooooooW <kenjy> frightening but terrific as a challenge :P <BluesKaj> kenjy, I live 300km north of dscassel , an we seldom have -20 anymore Jan/feb , even at night <kenjy> BluesKaj: ain't you from Waterloo? :O <dscassel> Well, yeah, it doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. <BluesKaj> no ..never attended university ..except for some Ryerson courses on gas chromatography <kenjy> is the life in Waterloo expensive for an student? <dscassel> BluesKaj: There are lots of people in Waterloo who haven't been to university. :) <dscassel> kenjy: I was never the drinking and partying type, so I can't give you that perspective. <BluesKaj> went out to work after high school, no student loans in those days ...siter was the smaert one so parents helped her financially <kenjy> dscassel: I am not the drinking and parying type either <dscassel> But it's good, I think. Now even moreso than when I was a student. If you're not too busy with school, there are plenty of things to get involved in. <BluesKaj> sister <kenjy> partying* <dscassel> Waterloo isn't a big city. About 500,000 for the whole region (Waterloo proper is only 100,000). <dscassel> So it may be a bit disappointing for people expecting big city amenities. <dscassel> But I grew up in a town of 35,000, so it seemed pretty exciting to me. :) * BluesKaj lives in a town of 5000 ppl <BluesKaj> grew up in a city of 50,000 ...it's 100k now <dscassel> BluesKaj: where's that? <BluesKaj> Sudbury <kenjy> dscassel: I sadly live in one of the biggest countries in the world <BluesKaj> I'm 40 mins outside of Sudbury ... 30 mins from manitoulin island..tourrist trap <dscassel> Waterloo might seem downright rural (I'm looking out at cornfields from my office window. :) <dscassel> BluesKaj: Nice, though. Save for the mosquitos. :) <BluesKaj> no real mosquito porblem nowadays ...the odd time , but not a constant thing like previous yrs <BluesKaj> this heat will wipe them out for a while <BluesKaj> kenjy, Toronto is just an hour away from Waterloo, if you need to get to the big city occasionally. <kenjy> BluesKaj: Iam taking all this information into consideration because my first goal was vancouver but waterloo sounds like a good destiny too <BluesKaj> not like Mexico city , but large enough <kenjy> BluesKaj: the size of Mexico city its horrible <dscassel> kenjy: I certainly think so. :) <BluesKaj> yes , I've seen some documentaries , but I'm sure it has some nice areas <dscassel> (the part about Waterloo, not Mexico. :) <kenjy> BluesKaj: for sure <BluesKaj> never visited there , unfortunately <dscassel> Back to weather for a minute, this was last winter: http://uwweatherstation.blogspot.com/2011/03/winter-20102011-summary.html <kenjy> BluesKaj: if yo do one day and I am still here just write me <kenjy> well guys tnks for all, I will go back later to share whats going on about this <dscassel> Glad we could help. See you, kenjy :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-22 <BluesKaj> hiyas <dscassel> Hey, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hi dscassel <cvillaco_> hi <BluesKaj> hi cvillaco_ <BluesKaj> heh , bell internet was down here for 8 hrs . now my IP says NA , located on the 60th parallel on Hudson Bay :) .. http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address=&map_source=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7 <cvillaco_> I saw the community week events post by a Ubuntu group on fB and thought i would check out whats going on. <dscassel> cvillaco_: Welcome back. :D <BluesKaj> cvillaco_, Ubuntu group on fB ? <cvillaco_> yes, i think this page is cool <cvillaco_> http://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux <cvillaco_> it's pretty active and users can post <cvillaco_> i never have, but i read stuff im interested in if it comes up in my feeds <dscassel> There's an Ubuntu Canada group on Facebook, but it's been kind of dead since 2007... ^^; <dscassel> But if someone wanted to take it up again... :) <willwh> bleh <willwh> google+ is like facebook for geeks, apparently. <willwh> if anyone needs an invite - hit me up - happy to fire you one <willwh> I'm following Linus Torvalds on there <dscassel> willwh: No equivalent for groups or pages yet, tho. <willwh> linux kernal 3.0 got pushed last night :] <cvillaco> hey dscassel, im outside enjoying the weather and my wireless connection was lost <willwh> dscassel: it'll come <willwh> :> <dscassel> willwh: Definitely. <willwh> haha - zuckerberg is evil and must be resisted <dscassel> I'm on it, but I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with it yet. <willwh> or rather, what he created ;] <dscassel> I'm pretty firmly ensconsed in Twitter land. There's stuff about G+ I really like, though. <dscassel> But it's effort to post everyting in two (or more) places. <cvillaco> gwibber :p <dscassel> cvillaco: Doesn't support G+ yet. :) <cvillaco> haha, i kid, and i know what you mean <willwh> http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2011/jul/20/leopard-attacks-villagers-india#/?picture=377083509&index=0 <willwh> omg^ <willwh> guy with white gloves in the right corner of the first shoot = LOOOOOSER <willwh> make me think of Jurassic Park.... "SHOOOT HER, SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT HER" <willwh> dscassel: np, http://www.startgoogleplus.com/ <willwh> awesome plugin, if you're a chrome user :] <willwh> it'll thread your twitter and fb is you want. <cvillaco> lol, crazy. How about tiger gouges OSX users with new $29.99 update charge :p? <cvillaco> it is a pretty rich update to be fair.. <willwh> whatever, not interested in apple products <willwh> jobsy is a huge success - but I won't touch his kit with a barge pole :] <cvillaco> yeah, linux is way cool. <cvillaco> i have no reason to use apple products myself. It is such a constraining system is not my type. <cvillaco> willwh where abouts are you? <willwh> beautiful Victoria, BC :) <willwh> I'm fae Edinburgh, Scotland though <willwh> not a native ;) <willwh> johanbr: ! :D <johanbr> hey there! <cvillaco> ohh i hear Edinburgh is a famous place in Scotland isnt it? * dscassel is distracted by work. <willwh> cvillaco: it's the capital :) <dscassel> cvillaco: Used to be worse. OSX upgrades used to be more frequent and $129. * dscassel got off that turnip truck. * genii-around makes some coffee <cvillaco> i understand, but this is just an update, not an upgrade i think. <dscassel> cvillaco: I only did the upgrade once. Jaguar, I think? 10.4, anyway. It wasn't much at it was $129. <dscassel> Then Apple decided it didn't really care about computers anymore and I decided to go 100% ubuntu. :) <cvillaco> yeah, i mean i think the windows os upgrades are the same price. but i'm off that as much as I can be. I'm almost 100% ubuntu <cvillaco> i agree apple doesnt care about computing much anymore. They are foucsed on advertising alot i think, and outsourcing <cvillaco> which is not an unheard of strategy or anything. <dscassel> They seem to be doing well enough... <cvillaco> yeah, <cvillaco> im glad android came into the mobile picture though, claiming most of the smartphone market and putting steve jobs in a publicly foul mood <genii-around> I wonder if anyone is still working on MeeGo <cvillaco> trying to patent touch gestures on mobile devices after android handset releases raised eyebrows i think. <dscassel> genii-around: Nokia isn't. I think Intel might be, tho. They're still working on clutter, at least. <dscassel> cvillaco: I think that stuff is mostly business as usual. <cvillaco> yeah, dog eat dog <cvillaco> hey dscassel what is required to be a loCo canada team member? <cvillaco> like, are there responsibilities beyond just being a fan, supporting the idea of a local team, following policey and meeting other fans? <cvillaco> i think ubuntu is great, and wouldnt mind just metaphorically carrying an ubuntu sign. i live pretty far from the major centers <willwh> cvillaco: I just cover my laptop in ubuntu / drupal stickers :P <willwh> and sit and hack in cafe's ;D <cvillaco> haha cool <cvillaco> i hear drupal is great <cvillaco> are you apart of the local team then willwh? <dscassel> cvillaco: Officially, you need to sign the code of conduct. Joining the Ubuntu Canada group on launchpad is a plus as well. <dscassel> cvillaco: In practice, just hanging out here or on the mailing list is probably sufficient. :) <willwh> cvillaco: I am, yes <dscassel> And, of course, running events elevates you to a position of power and authority. (for what it's worth) :D <willwh> and I go to the Victoria Drupal users meetup monthly too <willwh> although there really isn't an active ubuntu chapter in Victoria <dscassel> willwh: I keep talking to people in Victoria. <dscassel> You guys need to get together. :) <dscassel> (I'm pretty sure it's not just you, either) <cvillaco> :willwh I hear Drupal is great. Later this summer im going to be reading through the wordpress documentation. I hear drupal is the big open source cms. <cvillaco> ok dscassel. I will follow the wiki instructions to apply. <willwh> http://www.jolokia.org/ <- wunnerful <cvillaco> whats this jolokia? <willwh> well, it's JMX with JSON over http....... <willwh> u <willwh> uh* <willwh> java "Stuff" :) * genii-around stuffs some java <willwh> genii-around: :D <willwh> how goes mate? <genii-around> willwh: Not bad, first day back from vacation * genii-around slides BluesKaj a coffee <BluesKaj> hey genii-around , thanks :) <genii-around> BluesKaj: Anytime of course! <cvillaco> dscassel thanks for the support and information on the Canada loCo team. Can send you a PM? I think I need some clarification. <cvillaco> or is anyone available atm to give me a hand? <MagicFab> cvillaco, what can we help you with ? <cvillaco> Hi MagicFab I had some questions on signing the Code of Conduct <willwh> cvillaco: I'm here too now... :] <willwh> I can also assist <cvillaco> ok, are you ok for me to shoot a pm willwh :-) <willwh> absolutely <MagicFab> sorry, gotta run <willwh> o/ <willwh> I got him MagicFab :) <MagicFab> sorry!!! unexpected madness w/kids :) <willwh> np!! <dscassel> cvillaco: Send away! <willwh> dscassel: I take it that the ubuntu ca loco drupal install is totally seperate? <willwh> i.e. I'll need to create a user account? #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-23 <BluesKaj> Howdy <frnasani_attotec> hello <frnasani_attotec> any body here <frnasani_attotec> *__* #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-24 <BluesKaj> Hey folks <dscassel> 10am is still early for me on a Sunday. :P <dscassel> Aw, I think I teared up a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA2kqAIOoZM&feature=youtu.be <SIR_Taco> hello <johanbr> hi there <SIR_Taco> hello johanbr #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-25 <BluesKaj> hey all <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hi dscassel * genii-around makes a large pot of coffee <dscassel> Thanks, genii-around #ubuntu-ca 2011-07-26 <BluesKaj> Hey all <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <nigelb> 43 <nigelb> ugh <dscassel> Hi, nigelb :) <nigelb> dscassel: heh, typos rule my day <nigelb> I guess that's what java does to people ;) <dscassel> I can relate. :D <dscassel> With that too. <nigelb> haha <nigelb> I've been trying to write an android app all evening <dscassel> Ah.

Caffeine. Handy little thing. <crond> hmm it works fine for something like xchat (that I don't need it to work for), but not for VirtualBox <crond> oh. its damned case sensitive. lol <khoover> well, that was a fun trip through vms to get the right packages and deps for wicd <khoover> VMBox* <khoover> forgot to install wicd before purging NM <crond> Ick. <crond> you couldve just used wpa_supplicant tho <crond> manually brought it up from terminal <khoover> really? didn't know it was stand-alone #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-03 <khoover> BobJonkman, ping <BobJonkman> Hiya! <BobJonkman> You pinged just at the same time the stove is dinging. Gotta go Real Soon Now * genii-around makes more coffee #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-06 <genii-around> I sure hope we don't hit that 50C after humidity, some of the weather people are saying it's possible. Bleh #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-07 <primeg1> hello ubuntu ca <primeg1> what does poll schedule timeout mean #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-09 * genii-around wonders how far ahead of Ribfest to start the fasting <BobJonkman> genii-around: You have Ribfest in TO? <genii-around> BobJonkman: The Toronto one proper is done, but the Scarborough one is coming up now <BobJonkman> Supposed to be one in KW too http://www.kitchenerribandbeerfest.com/main2.cfm <genii-around> http://www.scarboroughribfest.com/ <BobJonkman> Couple of weeks off for the KW Ribfest; won't fast for a few days yet :) <genii-around> Ooo ribs *AND* beer... <BobJonkman> Last year the lineup for beer tickets was over an hour <genii-around> My friend and I have a sort of tradition now where we eat minimally 2-3 days ahead and then go totally glutonous <BobJonkman> OTOH, I've been expanding my consumption capacity for years now... <BobJonkman> From the pictures, looks like the same rib vendors in Scarborough and KW. <genii-around> I think they have like a travelling show like carnivals #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-10 <genii-around> 8pm EST, yes? <willwh> web:~$ <BobJonkman> genii-around: Yup, 8:00pm https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-07-10 <BobJonkman> That reminds me, there should be coffee somewhere... <genii-around> Heh <jlamothe> Does anyone have any idea what Ubuntu is planning to do about Mozilla pulling the plug on Thunderbird? <genii-around> I imagine go to Evolution, but that is purely a guess <macbook-dualboot> hello * genii-around hands macbook-dualboot a coffee <macbook-dualboot> ty. i need it. :/ <macbook-dualboot> anyone ever been sorta locked out of their ubuntu side of a dualboot? <macbook-dualboot> sorta, as in, i can see some files/folders, but the rest "i" don't have permission to view? <dscassel> Mozilla isn't exactly pulling the plug on Thunderbird. <dscassel> They're just going back to the sort of half-hearted support they've given it throughout it's lifetime. <dscassel> http://thecommandline.net/2012/07/07/mozilla-scaling-back-thunserbird-development-shouldnt-mean-not-innovating-in-messaging/ <dscassel> Meeting in about an hour... <genii-around> Yup <jlamothe> I'll be here. <dscassel> Meeting in 5. * BobJonkman wipes his feet on the doormat <genii-around> IIs this g20 anniversary? Went for a smoke before meeting, 20-30 people in black ninja outfits blowing plastic horns yelling "police brutality has to go" etc * genii-around googles #ubuntu-ca 2012-07-11 <dscassel> Mass call! crond FiReSTaRT azend cyphermox genii-around johanbr mars willwh bilal DarwinSurvivor IdleOne khoover ryanakca wylde_ BobJonkman Jaguar KombuchaKip sipherdee zul bregma egerlach Jaguar LinuxMonkey txwikinger2 <dscassel> Meeting time! <dscassel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-07-10 <dscassel> ^- agenda * genii-around stops googling <dscassel> Feel free to introduce yourselves. Who are you, where are you and what do you do on/for/with Ubuntu? <dscassel> I'm Darcy in Waterloo and I'm LoCo Contact for Ubuntu Canada. <BobJonkman> Hi! I'm Bob Jonkman, an Ubuntu enthusiast in Elmira, just north of Waterloo <hakimsheriff> Hi, I'm Hakim Sheriff, I'm in Montreal <dscassel> Hi Hakim. :) <hakimsheriff> hey <genii-around> I'm Mike in Toronto, I do a lot of user help mostly in #kubuntu but also other channels, a bit of inept moderating in some channels, hold the Toronto release parties <KombuchaKip> Hey folks. My name's Kip and I'm UVLC's representative today. UVLC just released their second Unity guide for 12.04 LTS which covers Lenses & Scopes. They're also working on a new free commercial game for Ubuntu called Avaneya (www.avaneya.com). We're also working on another "thing", but related to Ubuntu and audio - but top secret for now ;) <dscassel> Hey, genii-around, KombuchaKip :) * KombuchaKip waves at dscassel <BobJonkman> Agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-07-10 <dscassel> I'll give another minute or two for any straglers to wander in. * genii-around makes a fresh pot of coffee and hands the mugs around <dscassel> Okay. <dscassel> singpolyma: Can you tell us about your workshop tomorrow? :) <singpolyma> Sure. <singpolyma> So, I'm going to set up a bunch of PC boxes in KWartzlab, which are all blank HDDs. I'm going to have a bunch of Ubuntu 12.04 CDs, and I'm going to invite workshop participants to walk along with me through the process of installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a PC. This will involve basic magics such as gettinga PC to boot from a CD, understanding basic partitioning concepts, etc <dscassel> Awesome. <BobJonkman> Can participants bring their own computer for an install? <singpolyma> BobJonkman: Certainly, if they actually want a PC installed that would make sense <dscassel> So kinda an install fest, but with more theory and background... <singpolyma> Right. The big different from an install fest is that I'm targetting understanding by novices of the existance of OSs and booting from CDs, and not so much targetting having people actually walk away with a working Ubuntu system <singpolyma> but if people want a working Ubuntu system, it's a great opportunity for that as well <dscassel> Sadly I can't be there, but I think it's a great thing. <BobJonkman> Do you need assistants? <jlamothe> I don't know if I'll be able to be there (I was hoping to) can someone take lots of pictures for the blog? <dscassel> I want to write up something afterwards for a blog post or something... * dscassel then skeptically wonders if he has time in the next week or so <dscassel> So, great! Thanks, singpolyma. <singpolyma> BobJonkman: assistants would be appreciated, but it will depend on how many people tehre ary * BobJonkman has another thing until at least 8:00pm, so not sure how useful that limited assistance would be <IdleOne> Evening folks <jlamothe> Greetings and salutations. <IdleOne> singpolyma: that sounds like a great idea and fun too <dscassel> For the next meeting and subsequent meetings, I want to move the meeting immediately before the Waterloo Ubuntu Hour. <dscassel> Hi IdleOne! <IdleOne> heya dscassel :) <dscassel> So the next one will be Wednesday, August 15 at 7pm EDT. <txwikinger> hi <BobJonkman> dscassel: How convenient for me! <hakimsheriff> Works for me too <dscassel> BobJonkman: And me! I keep getting montgomeryrobert@example.net. <dscassel> (which is where I am now) <jlamothe> Where? <dscassel> jlamothe: ssh. <BobJonkman> Ubuntu Hour Waterloo is currently being held at the Duke of Wellington in Waterloo <BobJonkman> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1827/detail/ <dscassel> BobJonkman: But that might change in the future... Not that I have any better ideas right now. :) <genii-around> I'll be on vacation but there may be some form of internet there <IdleOne> where ya going and can i come? <IdleOne> actually, I don't care <genii-around> IdleOne: Apsley, Ont <IdleOne> can I come no matter where it is <genii-around> Is a family thing <IdleOne> In that case I will not intrude * IdleOne walks away crying a little bit and mumbling something about gonna get him for this. <genii-around> Heh <dscassel> IdleOne: I'm going to Disney World next week. I'll be a little occupied with a friend's wedding, but hey, if you can make your way down there... <IdleOne> Can't do that either. Homeland Security and me don't get along so much <BobJonkman> The only objection I can see to making the IRC chat an hour earlier is that it's still business hours on the West Coast (4:00pm PDT) <dscassel> KombuchaKip: Is that a problem? (You may speak for your time zone). <dscassel> Speaking of Ubuntu Hours, we're still running with just the two in Kitchener and up the road in Waterloo. <txwikinger> Who is getting marred at Disney World? Mickey Mouse? <KombuchaKip> dscassel: I think he is right, but then nearly any time we pick will be inconvenient for some timezone. For myself though, it isn't an issue. <dscassel> txwikinger: No, but they've been known to wear the ears occasionally. <txwikinger> dscassel: Not sure the ears will go through the TSA <genii-around> Anything on for Global Jam? <txwikinger> Lot of global and lot of jamming genii-around <dscassel> txwikinger: That's why they're in checked baggage. <dscassel> genii-around: I've got a conflict that weekend, but yeat, it's Sept. 7-9. <genii-around> txwikinger: I was wondering if we specifically have plans yet :-) <txwikinger> ohah.. explosive ears in the baggage <genii-around> Maybe I could do something here with Sammy <txwikinger> genii-around: Historically we always had some kind of plan .. so probably yes <dscassel> We'll be doing something Sept 8, probably, but that's not official yet. <dscassel> genii-around: You should do something with Sammy. :) <genii-around> OK ( makes notes ) * txwikinger looks in calendar and sees an open spot <genii-around> Someone yelling, be back if it's not some real emergency ( I'm still at work ) <dscassel> Hardware install testing is helpful, if nothing else. <BobJonkman> I may have occasion to be in Toronto, what with the school year starting and young 'uns needing to be ferried to Uni <dscassel> txwikinger: Are you free to run it? I may be need to be in and out doing other stuff. <txwikinger> dscassel: Yeah.. I should be free <dscassel> Excellent. <txwikinger> i can keep the children behave <dscassel> Hey, BobJonkman, What's Sysadmin Appreciate Day? <dscassel> http://www.sysadminday.com/whatsysadmin.html <dscassel> And why does the person in the photo look like they've hanged themselves on cat 5 cable? <BobJonkman> System Administrators look after computer stuff. <BobJonkman> Most people who use that computer stuff don't realize what a stressful job it is looking after it. SysAdmins must feel underappreciated 364 days of the year (and 365 days this year) <txwikinger> Its a bit like teachersfeel <BobJonkman> Surely there must be some System Administrators who look after Ubuntu-running computers. <genii-around> Back <dscassel> I'm sure there might be a couple. <dscassel> BobJonkman: Is there something you'd like to do to celebrate? <BobJonkman> Funny you should ask. In the KW area I'm organizing a SysAdminDay dinner. http://bob.jonkman.ca/blogs/2012/07/10/system-administrator-appreciation-day-dinner/ Mostly just so us SysAdmins can have a chance to swap stories over an eggroll or several. <jlamothe> genii-around: Nobody was on fire? <genii-around> BobJonkman: I'm out of town July 16-22 and Aug 11-18 but if yer around otherwise, feel free to visit! <genii-around> jlamothe: Luckily not! <BobJonkman> genii-around: Hopefully there'll be some Ubuntu Jamming in Toronto on the weekend of 8 September <txwikinger> Canonical has a lot of sys admins for that <genii-around> I'll try to line something up. If nothing else maybe the basement here, I can use a space about 2000 sq feet for whatever i want <dscassel> The other coming-up thing is Software Freedom Day, September 15th. <dscassel> I don't know if there's anything I can do about that quite yet. <genii-around> Hopefully RMS stays somewhere far away... <txwikinger> Not sure if working centre is doing something again <BobJonkman> I think The Working Centre is feeling a bit strapped for resources. And Computer Recycling is no longer open on Saturdays <txwikinger> Freedom day and global jamming should really be at the same time <dscassel> genii-around: Don't be like that. RMS is a lovable beligerant, the definition of the radical extreme who allows me to be the mushy middle. <dscassel> I appreciate that. <BobJonkman> If it weren't for RMS all the rest of us would look like radicals <dscassel> txwikinger: They're pretty different events, really. <txwikinger> BobJonkman: You look like a radical in any case ;-) <genii-around> OK, I'll lay off the Stallman :-) <jlamothe> Also, if we don't have the radicals like RMS, the radicals like Jobs take everything over. <txwikinger> dscassel: Yeah.. but some people have a life beyond Ubuntu <dscassel> txwikinger: Tell me about it. That's why I'm hoping the KWLUG people pick up the SFD slack. <dscassel> And I can maybe drop by with CDs or something. <genii-around> Oh, reminds me to check GTALUG sched <txwikinger> dscassel: I probably do my own SFD in June 2013 :-D * dscassel hums the free software song to himself. <BobJonkman> genii-around: missed it, TLUG is meeting nwo... <genii-around> Yup <BobJonkman> /nwo/now <txwikinger>
