[Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:25] <johnc4510_> that would kill two birds [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:34] <johnc4510_> getting the lugs involved with us [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:53] <johnc4510_> and of course the install fest to advocate for ubuntu [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:59] <johnc4510_> so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:05:59] <tyche> They have the experience, and the contacts, and we could provide the helping hands. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:15] <tyche> That way we could learn how to do things. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:19] <johnc4510_> does that sound like a way to go?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:25] <tyche> +1 [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:48] <johnc4510_> anyone else?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:06:58] <SloggerKhan> fine with me [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:01] <johnc4510_> k [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:06] <kennymc0> sounds good to me [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:09] <johnc4510_> k [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:11] <paul928_> can we do 1 in Yuma? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:27] <Wolf_45> Hey, the more the merrier [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:39] <johnc4510_> 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] <johnc4510_> i'm thinking sometime in feb or march [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:07:56] <johnc4510_> so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:08] <johnc4510_> we would have plenty of time to plan [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:10] <johnc4510_> i think [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:32] <johnc4510_> and [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:08:57] <johnc4510_> 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] <johnc4510_> and ideas [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:03] <johnc4510_> maybe [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:15] <johnc4510_> if we kick this around on the mail list [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:24] <johnc4510_> we can draw some more interest [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:29] <johnc4510_> ?? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:38] <tyche> Sounds like a plan to me. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:43] <johnc4510_> kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:09:54] <johnc4510_> kk, so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:14] <johnc4510_> tyche and i could use some more help on the education team page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:27] <johnc4510_> we have the layout pretty much set up [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:30] <johnc4510_> but [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:10:39] <johnc4510_> we need filler material [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:00] <johnc4510_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Education [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:24] <tyche> Speaking of which, johnc4510_, You know I was looking for information on CLI commands. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:54] <johnc4510_> down through the office link is pretty much done on a basic layout [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:11:59] <tyche> 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] <johnc4510_> and the items are filled in [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:32] <tyche> we might want to add a link to that. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:38] <johnc4510_> tyche: ok, we need to convert that to a page we can link too [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:12:43] <johnc4510_> i think [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:00] <tyche> That's possible, since it's "Creative Commons" licensed. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:09] <tyche> I'll see what I can do with it. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:11] <johnc4510_> althought pdf is an easy thing to save to everyones box [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:33] <tyche> And print out, for easy reference. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:39] <johnc4510_> but i think it's just easier to bring up a link [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:13:49] <johnc4510_> tyche how many pages to print? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:19] <tyche> 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] <johnc4510_> true [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:30] <johnc4510_> kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:34] <tyche> 1 page PDF. Nicely done. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:50] <johnc4510_> let's just link it then on the main ed team page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:51] <johnc4510_> :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:53] <johnc4510_> now [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:14:55] <tyche> Explainations are brief and to the point. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:00] <tyche> kk [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:41] <johnc4510_> 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] <johnc4510_> in the drop down menus [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:15:56] <johnc4510_> so, [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:16:17] <johnc4510_> starting with "Other" we need to fill in the content [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:16:38] <johnc4510_> tyche and i can format it to the wiki page [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:17:02] <johnc4510_> so that's np, but we do need a little help on this if possible [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:17:19] <tyche> 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] <SloggerKhan> Basically you want description of applications that people can understand? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:18] <tyche> Yep [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:29] <johnc4510_> yep and links to the home page of that app [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:18:52] <tyche> 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] <SloggerKhan> So something like: [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] <SloggerKhan> Name: _________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] <SloggerKhan> Description:______________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] <SloggerKhan> Familiar Analogues:__________________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:02] <SloggerKhan> Links:_________________________ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:08] <johnc4510_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Education/Internet [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:12] <SloggerKhan> wow, that didn't format like I thought. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:17] <tyche> Nicely put, SloggerKhan [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:22] <johnc4510_> you can see at that link how i've set it up [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:19:41] <johnc4510_> 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] <johnc4510_> then tyche and i can add it to the wiki in the correct postition [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:06] <Wolf_45> Sheesh, I've slept since then! [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:13] <johnc4510_> ah [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:14] <johnc4510_> well [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:22] <johnc4510_> if you put in your live cd [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:34] <johnc4510_> it will show you what is on a fresh install [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:38] <johnc4510_> :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:20:43] <SloggerKhan> 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] <SloggerKhan> 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] <SloggerKhan> and wings 3-D [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:26] <tyche> The link for more info is the name of the program [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:28] <johnc4510_> SloggerKhan eventually there will be another set of links below those with alternatives [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:21:43] <SloggerKhan> oh, I see that now. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:01] <Wolf_45> Actually, it's easy - gftp, xmms, gramps (genealogy program). If that's what your talking about? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:04] <johnc4510_> SloggerKhan like a separate alternative to the installed apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:05] <tyche> We were think more of categories than related apps. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:27] <tyche> That way, we're not having to try to evaluate programs we don't have. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:30] <johnc4510_> Wolf_45 sure those are some alternatives [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:22:39] <SloggerKhan> sorry, I'm getting confused. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:03] <johnc4510_> Wolf_45 i think tyche knows all about the gramps thing HEE HEE [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:04] <tyche> So, how can we help you get un-confused? Hee hee [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:05] <johnc4510_> lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:14] <tyche> WATCHIT, johnc4510_ [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:19] <tyche> LOL [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:35] <SloggerKhan> are including repo-only apps or not? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:47] <SloggerKhan> Or are we including only 1 app for each specific function? [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:23:48] <tyche> I would say stick to the repos for this. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:04] <johnc4510_> SloggerKhan in the alternatives it could be non repo stuff [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:11] <SloggerKhan> So it doesn't just have to be defaulyt install apps though. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:18] <SloggerKhan> that's what I was confused about. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:19] <tyche> SloggerKhan: I'd say start with the most useful apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:25] <SloggerKhan> OKay. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:37] <johnc4510_> SloggerKhan ok, the first section is the installed apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:38] <SloggerKhan> Yeah, so I can write up the 'open creative suite apps' if you want. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:47] <tyche> Please mark non-repo apps as such, though, so we can distinguish [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:24:52] <johnc4510_> the second are the optional or alternative apps [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:02] <SloggerKhan> I don't use non-repo apps that I'd recommend to anyone. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:03] <SloggerKhan> lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:08] <johnc4510_> lol [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:10] <SloggerKhan> other than the latest version of deluge. [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:12] <tyche> KK. Hee hee [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:12] <johnc4510_> me either [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:23] <johnc4510_> yep, i do use deluge [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:24] <johnc4510_> :) [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:25:59] <johnc4510_> and exaile from the apps home page to get the most up to date [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:00] <johnc4510_> but [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:07] <SloggerKhan> brb [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:08] <johnc4510_> if we include the link [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:26:36] <johnc4510_> it gives people a chance to choose the repo version or the most up to date version [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:19] <johnc4510_> ok, so [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:28] <johnc4510_> if you want to help out [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:27:49] <johnc4510_> just fill in some info and email it to me or tyche [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:10] <johnc4510_> i'm at johnc4510-cox@ubuntu.com [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:24] <tyche> And I'm at tyche@cox.net [Sun Dec 9 2007] [21:28:26] <johnc4510_> tyche can you give out your email please??
