Pound it, bro! st33med: ... should we run through the focus groups first or the agenda ? lol kick the bots please, or make them be quiet &leave * steambot (n=steambot@c-98-204-218-24.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has left #ubuntuforums-beginners ("Leaving channel") focus first OK, focus groups ... Wiki team - reporting in is that my cue? :) go man, anything ? groovy, so as an example for other Focus Groups, we made a page for the wiki team, you can view it here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Team/FocusGroups/Wiki Title: Wiki Focus Group - Community Ubuntu Documentation (at help.ubuntu.com) the point is to have a separate wiki page for each focus group, if they want, to stay organized since not everybody is in here all the time we (the wiki team) would be happy to create the page for you, maybe with a default template, and each team can use that page how they see fit +1 wow very nice Teach is best ... Have we figured out how to delete pages yet ? mm... Mind if i? If not, I think we should work on that ;) I want to point out that the Beginners area of the wiki is not really for writing Help documents wiki team wil make a page for compositing? on the UGA if we just erase everything on a page the page disapears Maddeth, what ? the wiki is for us to stay organized, Help documents can be written under the appropriate Community area Yea, it is a little different on the Ubuntu wiki bodhi_zazen, to have a page deleted it must be submitted to the official Wiki Team to deal with, see here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiToDo Title: WikiToDo - Community Ubuntu Documentation (at help.ubuntu.com) ok :) just seeing if i could help... shutting up Please do not add help documents on the Community wiki if you do not know how !!! +1 Ask for help feel free to talk to me about that +32949581003.1 The wiki system has a logn string of different pages telling you how to use the wiki, its rather annoying Yea, the Ubuntu wiki is a little difficult to learn , IMO at least So, team leaders, please let me know later if you want a Focus Group page for your team Anything else for the wiki team ? you can email me your request if i'm not around - (REMOVED FROM LOG) If not, IRC :) I wouldn't know if compositing would need it, since it isn't all to big thats ok st33med , we can discuss it later, i just wanted to present the idea today How is our new channel ? that is all from me, you may continue bodhi_zazen ok Should we continue it, change the name, delete it ? #beginners-help ?? Our new channel has a few people coming in sometimes it is pretty useful Nice, do we help them ? Yes is it ok to invite folks there for one on one help now? \o/ brb ... I think we just need to promote it more -- but not enough to make it #ubuntu +1 paultag agreed Only for major incidents cant let ourselves become victims of our own success in there Link in sigs, perhaps, or the Wiki? well i dont mind sitting in there and lending a hand now and then... If I am idle, I would love to help Redirect those with minor problems back to #ubuntu if it gets worse? I am in the channel from time to time, ping me if you need help paultag, info in forum sigs is good, i wouldnt advertise it outside the Beginner's Wiki area tho Rocket2DMn: +1 I would not advertise the channel on the forums too much PM is OK, but you will get swamped if you over do it I like the idea of inviting from #ubuntu We should have done these meetings more often than before a month ago bodhi_zazen: agreed, but if we have 3 - 6 of us in there helping at most 2 people, I dont see too much use bodhi_zazen, that is true, i think thats why paultag said signature, not really advertising iut in threads Rocket2DMn: yeah bodhi_zazen in a pm from #ubuntu or openly? OK I was thinking PM on forums PM spiderbatdad ./msg on #ubutu * Joeb454 forgot it was meeting day lol 'lo Joeb454 , me too i tend to pull people over from #ubuntu to #beginners-help we dont want people asking how to use aptitude comming through, when someone in #ubuntu could help with a one liner wow, kinda sad when our leader has memory lapses :) lol lol, that is a strong trait in a leader they wouldn't come through paultag st33med, thats why he needs peons to remind him paultag, we could redirect them to #ubuntu Joeb454: if we start trying to redirect everyone there though st33med: yeah It is your channel and I was planning to be fairly hands off, with the exception of helping Slow growth is IMO better then explosive growth I think so agreed +103248219084502139478934569.000001 best provide quality support then flop because you are too busy but 2 - 3 people is not what we had in mind I think bodhi_zazen: +1 Well, if you hang on #ubuntu you can invite like 1 a mintue ... lol paultag, I mean pull people from #ubuntu if it's not a simple 1 line answer heh ok OK, forums then ? I would want to invite only those with bad problems bodhi_zazen agreed, and please introduce those users to pastebin or anything else to add to IRC ? yeah st33med, only invite those with problems I know the answer to heh lol lol, don't know if I can with your memory loss ;) hmm ... I see no issues on the Forums I have been impressed with the team in general and it is nice to see Nothing really there, not even spammers about bad commands onthe topic of forums, support our man GSF - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747991 Title: For a fellow team member - Ubuntu Forums (at ubuntuforums.org) We try to keep the forums clean :) Launchpad team ? hi do we need someone to replace Toxic ? Toxicity999, poke, hi nope, but I haven't seen him in the longest time heh are you feeling you want to turn the Launchpad team over ? oh, what about bots in IRC? bots on this channel ? st33med: launchpad now bodhi_zazen, why don't we postpone the LP discussions unti lwe can get ahold of Toxicity999 kk bodhi_zazen, howcome nothlit has op in here btw? ok anyone want to talk about bots ? o/ too many bots boil the broth I think so I have contributed to it, but I think its becoming out of hand nothlit helped a great deal with this channel and the team , at first and if we do allow bots, then we need to keep them quiet im mixed on the bots, i know they are fun, but they can be annoying esp. since they don't serve a purpose he has been busy recently limit of two bots in #beginners-help? Rocket2DMn: recbot is sweet shit spiderbatdad: certain language creates an unintelligent atmosphere. lol I say lets limit the bots to one per channel ? at the most * steambot (n=steambot@c-98-204-218-24.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #ubuntuforums-beginners they are fun but ... ^ * ajmorris has quit (Remote closed the connection) +1 bodhi_zazen, keep ubotu and chanlog Rocket2DMn: +1 can we have one communal bot everyone works on ? MINE I think that is resoble st33med: ... :) I liked boshi_bot :) bodhi_zazen, thanks for that :) mine is the most feature complete :P bodhi_zazen: +1 &:) Stop smiling at me... You look crazy when you do that. I say the chan bots, then one bot that we can mess with OK, so I think it is agreed to tone down the bots :) and no joining / quiting every two seconds +1 paultag debug your bots elsewhere ppl PMs work great thats basically what we're getting at OK, Security team yes, my bot in there (as it is the least profane) and bhb nothing to reoort tronyx, are you wanting to be on the security team ? bhb won't leave unless I kill my server :) /bot discussions tronyx == security team lol heh tronyx: ping &ping | tronyx tronyx, Do not respond, do not respond... composting team ? Nothing really to report what is compositing team OK, agenda items then ... composting = decomposing thing Rocket2DMn, stuff like compiz ok, can you make note of that on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Team/FocusGroups/ k look at IRC and Wiki team for examples, like a oneliner at the bottom OK, "training" * chanlog` (n=channel-@220.253-201-26.VIC.netspace.net.au) has joined #ubuntuforums-beginners is the team interested in training ? * chanlog has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) teaching ? to a degree negative for me I would love to teach what I know, and learn what I dont not you paultag , you would be one of the potential teachers :) the IRC channle is a good place to get specific help on a topic if you dont have an answer, that essentially is training Rocket2DMn: but no, I dont think mandatory training is good but I think some opertunity to have people learn without having to ask is a good thing we already test newcomers, so nobody here is clueless as to what's going on Rocket2DMn: true, but we cal all learn more janquark put it on the agenda, so we should defer it to the next meeting if he did not assign a proxy bodhi_zazen: +1 we all know where to seek help on topics, and yes, we can all learn more. i don't think training session will be terribly useful tho lets put it off till jan is here I think we all learn by doing, as we go you can always ask for help here and other places +1 bodhi_zazen OK it would be good to help make that curve better for new users Rocket2DMn, done ok, moving on havent found a good wiki on chrooting. They are full of holes Rocket2DMn covered wiki pages ... spiderbatdad, LOL training? spiderbatdad, bodhi_zazen can help you with that * Joeb454 is confused heh Joeb454, It was an agenda item training our secret army Joeb454 :) I'm just saying a good wiki subject thanks st33med spiderbatdad, I can walk you through a chroot sometime lol After you do it once, it is a snap really for sure what is chroot? LOL st33med: later ill walk you through it i don't need the help thanks, but it took while due to lack of a good wiki st33med: meeting now OK https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot Title: DebootstrapChroot - Ubuntu Wiki (at wiki.ubuntu.com) well, g2g see ya huys :) limac: bye bye limac skip to mailing list bye * limac (n=limac@67-132-57-14.dia.static.qwest.net) has left #ubuntuforums-beginners ("Leaving") we have a mailing list, but it never took off ok, bodhi_zazen: what ever happend? IRC seems to work best bodhi_zazen, i think the problem is nobody knows where the mailing list is No one really used it but nothlit and I heh ok, just wanted to bring that up how do we add ourselves to it and use it &beginners This channel is meant for people who need help very badly, and don't want to go through the #ubuntu channel (Why? because it is crowded). The Beginners Team members are usually signified by a yellow dot or other symbol, depending on what IRC client you are using. :) !ping ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore Ah if we get the mailing list going again, people, please remember to use text only format in your emails here is the link for the team : Access is blocked - please contact your system administrator. LOL st33med so are all ABT members, voiced on that channel? LOLZ0R http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntuforums-beginners-team?hl=en FAIL failboat !test Failed. :) most, spiderbatdad bodhi_zazen, is our email hidden on that mailing list Last item spiderbatdad, only members of the IRC focus group are voiced in #beginners-help and not posted on the web OK, I move to try the Mailing list again paultag, team cloaks Rocket2DMn, yes, I think so seconded paultag I can not access the page at the moment alright, we can do that later moving on to cloaks bodhi_zazen, i submitted a join request on the mailing list I think that we should use cloaks as well as voice to to mark a member bogus as well as putting focus member team leaders as admins admins where ? I think this will help in #ubuntu as well as around Freenode so this cloak stuff, is this for IRC? we get our own cloak? bodhi_zazen: hostname cloaks bodhi_zazen: you have one set to fluxbuntu docs :) Rocket2DMn: anyone can get an unifileated one Rocket2DMn: I have one I think the team should have a single cloak together paultag, cloaks are OK with me, perhaps for senior members of the team or team leaders how do we set that up ? * Joeb454 has a cloak sounds cool am I senior? bodhi_zazen: I was thinking more one for members, and one for leaders and admins * Joeb454 should clearly be an op too :P I do not want to give a cloak to every new member, sometimes they do not stay long enough bodhi_zazen: ok how about for those with 500+beans on the forums get a cloack *cloak LOL st33med: I dont have more them 500 beans :) st33med, does that mean I get 2 cloacks cloaks* I help when there is a big issue paultag, do you know who to talk to about cloaks ? i dont think setting a nubmer is the best approach, just leave it up to bodhi_zazen when to dish out a cloak bodhi_zazen: I went too #freenode for mine Rocket2DMn: +1 I like the idea of giving focus group leaders ops in this channel really? I think this needs an email to freenode for cloaks :D DIBS all Focus Group leaders? paultag, do you want to send a email ? bodhi_zazen, i only got ahold of nothlit once, im not sure if he still wants leadership of Wiki team b/c we have like 5 focus groups bodhi_zazen: sure, Ill take care of it OK thanks I can has cloakz ? Rocket2DMn, next time nothlit is here I will ask him I think bodhi_zazen should control cloaks alright bodhi_zazen, who are the F.G ops? Until then lets assume not, but not make it official until we have had a chance to talk to him ? sure bodhi_zazen , no hurry me ajorris, Rocket2DMn , and then who? If no appearance by next meeting we will make it official by absence md *me i thought you were igknighted ajmorris who is igknighted anyway * Joeb454 has never seen ignknighted * Rocket2DMn has to leave in 10 minutes Toxicity999, DrSmall, and tronyx That is what I mean by people comming and going ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Team/FocusGroups moving on Title: Beginner's Team Focus Groups - Community Ubuntu Documentation (at help.ubuntu.com) bodhi_zazen: this is what I will be doing with the cloaks: http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml Title: Group Registration (at freenode.net) paultag, I do not know much about cloaks, so I will be learning "on the fly" I appreciate your help in this really feel like we are a "real" team on IRC that is As long as it is not abused right * bodhi_zazen recalls an event of cloak abuse ... it already is heh cloak abuse is what? bodhi_zazen: they will have our names on it, I dont think anyone will do anything st33med: raiding #windows, and posting pr0n using your cloak to spam a channel ... paultag, that would be compiledkernels job :) paultag, that too bodhi_zazen: it makes it hard to boot / block / ban you from a chan -- it maskes your IP OK, any other agenda itmes ? IIRC freenode gets your ip anyway right paultag, I know ok cool, thats it for me the only abuse I know of is spaming ... i have a topic for brief discussion OK, go ro Rocket2DMn, bodhi_zazen, I'm curious about this op-ing F.G leaders, but we can talk about that later if you like :) The Unanswered Posts team has a website where they post threads that they respond to, at http://ua.codechunk.net/ - you can't view it in detail unless you're registered with them FG ? Focus Groups bingo although they use it for all threads (supposedly), i think its a useful tool for posting threads you need help with * Joeb454 is lazy OK so you can flag a thread that you are unable to solve, and other members of this team can go check it out Rocket2DMn, I use it for all unanswered posts I answer :) Rocket2DMn, we could make a wiki page add and delete threads that sounds exhausting that is true bodhi_zazen , its just not as convenient i think Joeb454, I was thinking of giving OP to a few more folks here, I am not always here people arent likely to regularly check a wiki page +1 Rocket2DMn bodhi_zazen, I've noticed that little fact ;) anyway, i dont think it would hurt, not like it needs to be mandatory ill talk to ajmorris about it and see if it can be adapted +10 Rocket2DMn could be an interesting thing to try out, even if we dont stick with it bodhi_zazen, who will you be giving level 10 status too? st33med, I have not decided yet k st33med, chanlog ;) I was thinking ajmorris, paultag , and Joeb454 * Joeb454 feels privileged...though I don't know why lol Unless anyone has any other suggestions ? -1million for paultag :P lol If you do not want to voice them in public, /msg me haha lol ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++1 :) st33med: thanks ;) sounds good OK, one more topic then recuritment *recruitment lol In my experience, I like to see people come to the channel and hang for a while ok, btw all -- cloak stuff submited to Freenode oh and bodhi_zazen I noticed you fixed the typo in your sticky I do not feel we need to recruit at the moment bodhi_zazen, like Maddeth ? yea, like Maddeth :) Otherwise, they tend to fly by night and we never see them again * Joeb454 likes Maddeth...partly because he understands my british humour (yes with a u) including the ninjas heh >.> I am sure we all know team members on the list we have not seen recently <.< nothlit, Toxicity999, igknighted * Rocket2DMn needs to leave now bodhi_zazen, actually I saw caprikori the other night who is doing the minutes? see ya Rocket2DMn That is what has happened, and it is OK, but at this time I prefer to recruit more stable members ---- CategoryBeginnersTeam
