[Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:01:53] i was afraid of you being here tyche [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:01:55] lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:01:59] Hee hee [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:09] paul928_ sure [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:14] Gotta record your mistakes, don't I? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:17] it's going to be short anyway [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:23] Hiya kennymc0 [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:35] ok, meeting called to order [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:02:48] why will the meeting be short? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:03] i don't see any new intros and i don't have any announcements tonight [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:19] was under the weather this wk, and am behind [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:25] :( sorry [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:28] ok [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:41] we talked some last wk about an install fest [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:03:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoRunningInstallfests [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:04:15] i did some research at above link [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:04:34] and i'm not sure we can pull it off by ourselves [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:04:35] so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:04:43] +1 [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:01] i'm thinking maybe we could get the lugs involved and co sponsor it maybe [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:02] ? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:25] that would kill two birds [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:34] getting the lugs involved with us [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:53] and of course the install fest to advocate for ubuntu [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:59] so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:59] They have the experience, and the contacts, and we could provide the helping hands. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:15] That way we could learn how to do things. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:19] does that sound like a way to go?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:25] +1 [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:48] anyone else?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:58] fine with me [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:01] k [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:06] sounds good to me [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:09] k [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:11] can we do 1 in Yuma? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:27] Hey, the more the merrier [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:39] well then, let me put some feelers out to the lugs and see if there is an interest there [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:55] i'm thinking sometime in feb or march [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:56] so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:08] we would have plenty of time to plan [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:10] i think [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:32] and [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:57] i'll also put out a feeler on the team mailing list and see what interest i can drum up there [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:00] and ideas [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:03] maybe [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:15] if we kick this around on the mail list [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:24] we can draw some more interest [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:29] ?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:38] Sounds like a plan to me. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:43] kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:54] kk, so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:14] tyche and i could use some more help on the education team page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:27] we have the layout pretty much set up [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:30] but [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:39] we need filler material [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Education [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:24] Speaking of which, johnc4510_, You know I was looking for information on CLI commands. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:54] down through the office link is pretty much done on a basic layout [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:59] I found some ready made, put out by Fosswire.com. It's a PDF file with the most common commands and what they are for [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:02] and the items are filled in [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:32] we might want to add a link to that. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:38] tyche: ok, we need to convert that to a page we can link too [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:43] i think [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:00] That's possible, since it's "Creative Commons" licensed. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:09] I'll see what I can do with it. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:11] althought pdf is an easy thing to save to everyones box [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:33] And print out, for easy reference. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:39] but i think it's just easier to bring up a link [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:49] tyche how many pages to print? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:19] As long as you have a functioning GUI and internet connection. Sometimes you need these commands, and don't have a way to get them. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:26] true [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:30] kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:34] 1 page PDF. Nicely done. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:50] let's just link it then on the main ed team page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:51] :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:53] now [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:55] Explainations are brief and to the point. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:00] kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:41] the idea of these links on the ed team page is to give new people links to the apps found on a fresh install of ubuntu [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:51] in the drop down menus [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:56] so, [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:16:17] starting with "Other" we need to fill in the content [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:16:38] tyche and i can format it to the wiki page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:17:02] so that's np, but we do need a little help on this if possible [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:17:19] we need names of applications, Links for further information, and a brief description of what it is. I stole. . .ur, uh borrowed a lot of definitions from Synaptic. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:08] Basically you want description of applications that people can understand? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:18] Yep [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:29] yep and links to the home page of that app [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:52] I don't have everything on my machine, so I don't really know what's useful, other than what I use. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] So something like: [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] Name: _________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] Description:______________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] Familiar Analogues:__________________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] Links:_________________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:08] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Education/Internet [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:12] wow, that didn't format like I thought. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:17] Nicely put, SloggerKhan [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:22] you can see at that link how i've set it up [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:41] SloggerKhan yep, that's the idea [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:48] * Wolf_45 tries to think of what he's added since installing..... [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:04] then tyche and i can add it to the wiki in the correct postition [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:06] Sheesh, I've slept since then! [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:13] ah [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:14] well [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:22] if you put in your live cd [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:34] it will show you what is on a fresh install [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:38] :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:43] Yeah, I agree with your formatting, I'd just add a similar too column that lists familiar windows/mac alternatives and a column for a link to more info. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:21] Not sure if that's a good idea, but I can write up descriptions for scribus, inkscape, and gimp. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:26] and wings 3-D [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:26] The link for more info is the name of the program [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:28] SloggerKhan eventually there will be another set of links below those with alternatives [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:43] oh, I see that now. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:01] Actually, it's easy - gftp, xmms, gramps (genealogy program). If that's what your talking about? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:04] SloggerKhan like a separate alternative to the installed apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:05] We were think more of categories than related apps. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:27] That way, we're not having to try to evaluate programs we don't have. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:30] Wolf_45 sure those are some alternatives [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:39] sorry, I'm getting confused. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:03] Wolf_45 i think tyche knows all about the gramps thing HEE HEE [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:04] So, how can we help you get un-confused? Hee hee [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:05] lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:14] WATCHIT, johnc4510_ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:19] LOL [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:35] are including repo-only apps or not? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:47] Or are we including only 1 app for each specific function? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:48] I would say stick to the repos for this. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:04] SloggerKhan in the alternatives it could be non repo stuff [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:11] So it doesn't just have to be defaulyt install apps though. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:18] that's what I was confused about. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:19] SloggerKhan: I'd say start with the most useful apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:25] OKay. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:37] SloggerKhan ok, the first section is the installed apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:38] Yeah, so I can write up the 'open creative suite apps' if you want. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:47] Please mark non-repo apps as such, though, so we can distinguish [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:52] the second are the optional or alternative apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:02] I don't use non-repo apps that I'd recommend to anyone. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:03] lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:08] lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:10] other than the latest version of deluge. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:12] KK. Hee hee [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:12] me either [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:23] yep, i do use deluge [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:24] :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:59] and exaile from the apps home page to get the most up to date [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:00] but [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:07] brb [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:08] if we include the link [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:36] it gives people a chance to choose the repo version or the most up to date version [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:19] ok, so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:28] if you want to help out [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:49] just fill in some info and email it to me or tyche [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:10] i'm at johnc4510-cox@ubuntu.com [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:24] And I'm at tyche@cox.net [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:26] tyche can you give out your email please?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:27] ty [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:57] then we can take what you've sent and add it right onto the wiki page as it comes in [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:29:04] sound ok?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:29:43] kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:29:54] well, next then [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:30:11] for some of you, the server is probably new [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:30:17] http://12.159.65.83/ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:31:19] enigmastrat did most of the html to get the page set up [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:31:31] and i worked on the initial content [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:31:49] there are drop down links toward the top [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:32:04] that link to ubuntu our team etc [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:32:18] more content will be added as we go [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:32:19] and [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:32:33] any ideas on what to add is appreciated [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:33:22] we tried to get the initial page with the basic info but enough to give an idea of what we are about [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:33:38] so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:34:27] any questions, or does anyone have any ideas they want to discuss it doesn't have to be about what we have been talking about [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:34:45] One other thing I'd like to bring up. I suggest you see the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue69.

[Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:35:04] Aside from the fact that johnc4510_ worked his fingers to the bone reviewing them, they are very good videos. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:35:14] yeah, those are good stuff [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:35:36] we might even link those to the server page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:35:37] ?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:35:53] Now, there's an idea. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:36:07] kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:36:18] well then if there's nothing else?
