[20:04] Anyone else?
[20:04] anyone ping in #wilug?
[20:05] I didn't ping over there

[20:06] So. I suppose...we can rehash some stuffs.
}}}
TOPIC: <>Who are you?
{{{
[20:07] Let's start off with who we are. But I'm pretty sure you're familiar
[20:07] I'm Anthony, the LoCo team contact.
[20:08] I like long walks on the beach and Gangnam Style.
[20:09] * AndroUser2 (~androirc@166.181.66.194) has joined #ubuntu-us-wi
[20:09] I'm Conor, I spend my days working in an IT office with less linux than I prefer.
[20:09] * yotux has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
[20:10] r0n0c: I am...yeah. me too.
[20:10] Hello AndroUser2
[20:10] How do I can change my Nick back to yotux?
[20:10] AndroUser2: /nick youtux
[20:10] * AndroUser2 is now known as yotux
[20:11] yotux: there we go.
[20:11] r0n0c: I share similar sentiments
[20:11] Thanks guys tower switch from 4G kicked me off server
[20:12] * r0n0c hopes yotux didn't fall far from the tower
[20:12] perhaps the message in #wilug was a bad idea, hah
[20:12] * ubuntuWi-Guest (ae7c19be@gateway/web/freenode/ip.174.124.25.190) has joined #ubuntu-us-wi
[20:12] yotux: no prob, thanks for joining, even if you're having issues
[20:13] * ubuntuWi-Guest is now known as spikeb
[20:13] hey spikeb
[20:13] hey
[20:13] spikeb: we're just doing introductions
[20:14] So is there a general topic tonight?
[20:14] Yotux says nm figure it out
[20:15] I am a factory worker stuck with windows servers running Oracle
[20:16] And that wonderful thing called outlook mail
[20:16] oh fun
[20:16] yotux: ah, yes. that.
[20:16] spikeb: you want to introduce yourself?
[20:17] we're just doing general 'who we are's
[20:17] I'm spike. I've run ubuntu since the first beta, on more than one architecture, and am a geek in general. i also have a raspberry pi.
[20:17] :)
[20:18] sweet action. I will get one some day.
[20:18] Mine is sitting next to me running mysql
[20:18] mine is setting under the TV running XBMC
[20:19] what are your videos encoded as?
[20:20] the SD stuff is all kinds of formats, and the pi handles them fine. the HD stuff is h.264 to take advantage of the hw accel
[20:20] What do those take for power?
[20:21] microUSB
[20:21] ah, sweet.
}}}
TOPIC: <>Why Ubuntu?
{{{
[20:21] So, next on the list is...Why do you guys use Ubuntu?
[20:22] Are you taking about a micro computer like pogoplug
[20:22] What brings you to the platform, and the LoCo?
[20:22] yotux: yeah, similar
[20:22] yes yotux
[20:22] yotux: http://www.raspberrypi.org/
[20:23] Thanks yeah stuck on the mobile version
[20:23] i originally started running ubuntu because it had a newer GNOME than debian
[20:23] I use ubuntu since it was advertised as a good linux to start with, and then I really got into it when I found MythTV and mythbuntu.
[20:24] i've kept running it first because it was a good distro, and now because i love the work the design team has done, and i love unity.
[20:24] spikeb: back at which version?
[20:24] h00k: 4.10 beta
[20:24] spikeb: ah, what Gnome, I meant?
[20:24] oh
[20:24] I moved over because I wanted something more stable than fedora
[20:24] i think it had 2.x when debian was stuck on 1.4
[20:25] yotux: ah, you moved from Fedora over, cool.
[20:25] I very vaguely remember when gnome 1.x was around :(
[20:26] when i started using linux, gnome wasn't even beta yet
[20:26] haha
[20:26] I have learned to like apt a little more than yum
[20:27] My Linux was red Hat 7
[20:27] i play with fedora off and on, yum is OK
[20:27] Bought it from local staples store
[20:27] h00k: actually both of them are employees of Red Hat
[20:27] so naturally they root for that team
[20:27] mikeputnam: oh, interesting
[20:28] ;) of course
[20:28] dmlloyd is jboss engineer and bress a security guy
[20:28] (we're discussing a separate convo in #wilug, if anyone is wondering)
[20:28] apologies for any confusion
[20:29] I moved over to Ubuntu from Windows back...a while ago
[20:29] I think around 5.something
[20:29] And I loved the ease of use, beginner-friendly-ness
[20:31] and it just stuck. Although I play with other distros on other hardware from time to time, which is always fun.
[20:31] sure is!
[20:32] Cool.
[20:32] Last that I had on the official list (lol) is

TOPIC: <>What do you want to LoCo to do?
{{{
[20:32] What do you want the LoCo to do for you?
[20:32] What kinds of things can you see the LoCo doing?
[20:32] (that's all...the same question(
[20:33] Fix my computer.
[20:34] r0n0c: makes sense. Which reminds me, you should shoot an email to the mailing list for a bit wider distribution to see if someone can help
[20:35] I am not too concerned anymore
[20:35] share cool discoveries/tips/tricks
[20:35] I got my db backups off
[20:35] re: what i want from linuxers
[20:36] mikeputnam: makes sense
[20:36] maybe we could do a show-and-tell or online...presentation dealio sometime
[20:36] hey do we have a google+ or facebook group that we can share stuff to?
[20:36] s/linuxers/unixers/ to be honest
[20:37] spikeb: there was a Facebook group, I don't remember if it still exists
[20:37] but there's a page!
[20:37] https://plus.google.com/u/0/114072330989476423938/posts
[20:37] i <3 irc/email for puritan freeness
[20:37] also, the mailing list
[20:37] (but also use twitter/google+/gmail) :P
[20:38] It'd be nice if we had a sweet logo
[20:38] we were trying for a call for artwork before, that fell through
[20:39] mikeputnam: just circled ya
[20:41] * ubuntuWi-Guest (44f8ee35@gateway/web/freenode/ip.68.248.238.53) has joined #ubuntu-us-wi
[20:41] So, what do you think about an online presentation on some medium (IRC, or a Hangout)?
[20:42] Hi, ubuntuWi-Guest
[20:42] that sounds fun
[20:42] Hi, h00k. Cheesehead here, via pseudonym.
[20:42] ubuntuWi-Guest: ah, welcome welcome.
[20:42] ubuntuWi-Guest: we're discussing what we'd like to do in the future
[20:44] Do in person or remotely?
[20:44] I would be down for a Hangout. Do those do screen sharing? to show tips/tricks mike was talking about?
[20:44] ubuntuWi-Guest: yeah. either/or
[20:45] r0n0c: I believe they do
[20:45] maybe
[20:45] I thought?
[20:45] im not sure
[20:45] Seems like an [action] item to find out.
[20:46] ubuntuWi-Guest: yep.
[20:47] testung now
[20:48] success!
[20:49] Yes, you can definitely screenshare, and it works *quite* nicely
[20:49] So is that the first hangoud session? To show us how to screenshare?
[20:49] sweet
[20:49] and we could get people circle'd and do a live broadcast/youtube recording for archiving, later viewing
[20:49] ubuntuWi-Guest: there's a button on the hangout, 'Screenshare,' yep
[20:50] I never said it would be a *long* hangout.
[20:50] So, that's totally something to consider
[20:50] r0n0c: i put you into my NEWLUG and WILUG circles (not certain if that is accurate)
[20:51] Well, we got one idea out.
[20:51] I put you in MadLug and Computer Geeks. Hope that is accurate
[20:52] heh
[20:52] pretty close
[20:52] Appleton, WI Computer Geek
[20:52] something like that. I've been meaning to make a proper 'Ubuntu Wisconsin' circle and share it
[20:52] I know you aren't in MADLug, but its basically expanded to anyone in wilug/wi ubuntu
[20:52] gothca
[20:52] but I have 'Ubuntu People' and madlug/wilug/etc
[20:53] I wish g+ did nested circles
[20:53] I wanted that from the get go
[20:53] Immediate Family > Family
[20:53] * ubuntuWi-Guest is now known as Cheesehead
[20:53] yeah...
[20:55] Okay. So. Perhaps a call for presentation volunteers on the mailing list
[20:55] [action]
[20:56] I supose I can dust off my dbus and gsettings notes and whip them into some pretext for an hangout or two...
[20:57] heyoh, cool.
[20:57] I can do twofactor authentication with ssh walkthrough
[20:57] oooo
[20:58] or did someone recently do that with wilug/madlug?
[20:59] I also have some notes on the Gnome/Unity geolocation framework (fairly cool), and on several weather information systems.
[21:00] Hey folks...I have to get running
[21:00] what about tools/tips/approaches to administering hundreds of ubuntu desktops in a company
[21:00] mikeputnam: like puppet and/or landscape
[21:01] or whipping racks full of ubuntu into submission
[21:01] but I don't know if we have anyone with landscape
[21:01] that'd be cool
[21:01] h00k: certainly
[21:01] I must go; I'll take care of the website minutes and wiki meeting report tomorrow...
[21:01] like Active Directory integration
[21:01] Cheesehead: ah, cool, that'd be nice
[21:01] * Cheesehead has quit (Quit: Page closed)
[21:01] or SAMBA setups to play nice with the Winders folks
[21:02] keep those ideas handy
[21:03] I'll write up a call for ideas and presentations probably tomorrow or this weekend and ship them out
[21:03] but I have to run
[21:03] you guys can keep talking and stuffs
[21:03] if you come up with anything, leave a line in here or shoot it to the mailing list
[21:03] or virtualization approaches so the WinAdmins can run there stuffs atop your Unices!
[21:03] ^ yuss
[21:03] OKay, thanks all for coming!
[21:03] talk soon
[21:04] thx for organizing
