<yvan300> oh ok, so what now
<Ash_R> okay, Hellow. you want to introduce yourself?
<Hellow> Do I have to? :P
<Hellow> lol
<Ash_R> well. it would be nice to learn more about you
<Hellow> Ok, fine then
<Hellow> I'm Collin, 14 years old, been using Linux for around 4 years.
<Hellow> I love to build computers and most tech related things
<Hellow> Besides technology, I enjoy basketball and running :P
<yvan300> how did u come up with your nick?
<Hellow> yvan300: I messed up spelling Hellow once, and I thought it would be funnay to keep using :P
<jgoguen> I'm jgoguen, at least I was last time I checked...I'm currently working as tech support for the nursing faculty of a university, working to become a software dev, too much school to have anything as interesting as everyone else, and I unfortunately have to run
<Hellow> bye jgoguen
<Ash_R> oh no jgoguen . see you
<yvan300> laters
<Ash_R> Hellow, was ubuntu the first linux operating system you ever used?
<Hellow> Ash_R: The second, I was using Puppy Linux first
<Hellow> reason was because my desktop only had 128MB RAM :P
<Ash_R> cool. i recently compared puppy to crunchbang
<Ash_R> both really good.
<yvan300> Hellow: i feel sorry for u
<Hellow> I like tinycore more than most
<Ash_R> are we ready to move onto the second item ?
<Ash_R> we need to establish a meeting time.
<Hellow> yvan300: Oh, thats nothing now. I'm on a P4 with 768MB RAM :P.
<yvan300> Hellow: i still feel sorry for you:)
<yvan300> Ash_R: cool
<Hellow> yvan300: its still fast
<yvan300> lmao
<yvan300> Ash_R: hmmm
<Hellow> yvan300: A P4 > most of the older AMD processors
<yvan300> Hellow: what is your time zone
<Hellow> excluding any of the x2 procs
<Hellow> EST
<Hellow> er, ET
<yvan300> Ash_R: will the meeting time be temperory?
* jgoguen has quit ("Out for a while")
<Ash_R> yvan300, something more or less static would be great, but not essential
<yvan300> how about 10 hours ago Ash_R
<Hellow> I dont see us having to have meetings for a while
<yvan300> +1 Hellow
<Ash_R> i think as needed is best to be honest
<yvan300> yeah
<Ash_R> but how about every few months. just as a touch base
<yvan300> Ash_R: we need to get more members
<yvan300> Ash_R: let's go to #beginners and recruit
<Ash_R> yvan300, we have a few members on the list. though myself and jgoguen have been unsuccessful at contacting them
<yvan300> Ash_R: i though it was only me Hellow and montel
<Ash_R> yvan300, no. kabana, jamesfla murray92
<yvan300> oh
<Ash_R> but they have not responded to either of our messages
<yvan300> oh, but we need more, what about #ubuntu?
<Ash_R> well we can try there, though this group is primarily focused on the beginners team.
<yvan300> oh
<Ash_R> i would also be concerned if we were swamped
<Ash_R> though i bet you guys would help out and set a good example
<Hellow> Dont go spamming channels :P
<Ash_R> +1 Hellow
<yvan300> Ash_R:hmmmm, what can we discuss now
<yvan300> Hellow: http://matthew.gwos.org
<Ash_R> 10 hours ago for me is fine
<Hellow> yvan300: Stop spamming that too, I already know it :P
<yvan300> Hellow: that one is harmless
<yvan300> Ash_R: wait
<yvan300> that's too early
<yvan300> for me
<Ash_R> i think they should just not be posted. compiled kernal has been asked to stop by others
<Ash_R> okay. when is good for everyone?
<yvan300> Ash_R: hmmm, the question is when is it good for u?
<yvan300> Hellow: school has ended for u?
<Hellow> yvan300: yes
<Hellow> yvan300: About a month ago
<Ash_R> yvan300, i am really flexible. though would not want UTC 23:00
<Ash_R> earlier than that is fine
* Hellow restrains himself
<Ash_R> Hellow, any time suggestions?
<Ash_R> or how about this sort of time every so often
<Hellow> I like this
<Hellow> as-needed
<Ash_R> okay
<yvan300> Hellow: how come it ended a month ago?
<Ash_R> but i think a few days warning would be good for everyone
<Hellow> yvan300: ..because it did?
<yvan300> Hellow: that's weird, do u go some kinda slow school
<Hellow> no
<Hellow> I got out in May
<Hellow> I go back in August
<Hellow> May 25th, I think
<Hellow> and august 7th
<Ash_R> oh, if either of you want to call a meeting just do it. me and jgoguen will do our upmost to attend
<Hellow> heh
<Hellow> I'M CALLIN MAH MEETING!!!
<yvan300> Hellow: what is ur iq?
<Hellow> yvan300: Last time I got a test it was ~115, I think
