Log of meeting on 06/02/09

General Agenda Items and Proposals

PLEASE COME TO THE MEETINGS PREPARED.

This means:

  1. If there is an issue for the team, add it to the agenda.
  2. Agenda items then should be discussed "informally" on #ubuntufourms-beginners. 90 % of the discussion should have taken place before the meeting. The channel should be enjoyable for everyone, but keep in mind the purpose of the channel is to discuss team functions.
  3. Ideally, meetings then are for decision making, team votes. Read the agenda and discuss your thoughts before the meeting. 10 % (or less) of the discussion should happen during the meeting.
  4. Agenda items that require more then 5 minutes of discussion may need to be deferred.

   2

  10 
  11 [Tues Jun 2 23:13:47] <Hellow> lol
  12 
  13 [Tues Jun 2 23:13:50] <bodhi_zazen> everyone here ?
  14 
  15 [Tues Jun 2 23:13:52] <Rocket2DMn> are we holding the meeting here?
  16 
  17 [Tues Jun 2 23:13:54] <Hellow> yep
  18 
  19 [Tues Jun 2 23:14:0] <Rocket2DMn> ok
  20 
  21 [Tues Jun 2 23:14:4] <bodhi_zazen> yes Rocket2DMn
  22 
  23 [Tues Jun 2 23:14:37] <bodhi_zazen> First, I apologize to the team, I have been busy the last few weeks
  24 
  25 [Tues Jun 2 23:14:53] <bodhi_zazen> Setting up a new server takes time :)
  26 
  27 [Tues Jun 2 23:14:57] <bodhi_zazen> and I have family too
  28 
  29 [Tues Jun 2 23:15:17] <thewrath> understandable bodhi
  30 
  31 [Tues Jun 2 23:15:18] <swoody> No apology needed bodhi_zazen :)
  32 
  33 [Tues Jun 2 23:15:19] <bodhi_zazen> The new server is mostly done, so I hope to be more available
  34 
  35 [Tues Jun 2 23:15:32] <nhandler> Glad to hear that bodhi_zazen
  36 
  37 [Tues Jun 2 23:16:2] <bodhi_zazen> I would like to interject an item for the team to consider :)
  38 
  39 [Tues Jun 2 23:16:20] <bodhi_zazen> we have been asked to consider changing our name - by members of teh CC
  40 
  41 [Tues Jun 2 23:16:43] <nhandler> notes that this has been on the BT agenda before
  42 
  43 [Tues Jun 2 23:16:49] <bodhi_zazen> to something that encompasses the work we do , not only on the forums, but for the greater community
  44 
  45 [Tues Jun 2 23:16:57] <Vantrax> last time we had this come up we did vote for a change, however the bt council overruled it
  46 
  47 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:2] <bodhi_zazen> So, let us re-consider
  48 
  49 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:12] <Hellow> Ubuntu Beginners Team?
  50 
  51 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:13] <bodhi_zazen> we would need to update LP and wiki pages :)
  52 
  53 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:16] <Vantrax> we voted to change to UBT
  54 
  55 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:18] <Rocket2DMn> bodhi_zazen, did they wnat to take out the Beginners part?
  56 
  57 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:28] <bodhi_zazen> no, forums Rocket2DMn
  58 
  59 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:36] <bodhi_zazen> but I want to take out beginners
  60 
  61 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:42] <swoody> is there any specific name in mind they wanted to change to? Or is that still open to ideas?
  62 
  63 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:42] <Rocket2DMn> understood
  64 
  65 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:44] <Ash_R> can we hear the argument for and against please?
  66 
  67 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:44] <bodhi_zazen> Ubuntu Mentoring team ?
  68 
  69 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:50] <Vantrax> They felt, and i agree, that the forums part is misleading based on our current role
  70 
  71 [Tues Jun 2 23:17:54] <nhandler> bodhi_zazen: We aren't really mentoring
  72 
  73 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:3] <Rocket2DMn> I dont think we cn use Mentoring or Learning
  74 
  75 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:14] <bodhi_zazen> for and aginst what Ash_R ?
  76 
  77 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:14] <Vantrax> Education is out due to Edubuntu
  78 
  79 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:17] <nhandler> Maybe consider using the word Help instead of Beginners
  80 
  81 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:30] <bodhi_zazen> Ubuntu Helping team ?
  82 
  83 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:31] <Hellow> I say we keep Beginners in our name; it still encompasses our role in the community well
  84 
  85 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:31] <bodhi_zazen> lol
  86 
  87 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:34] <Vantrax> +1 nhander
  88 
  89 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:40] <Vantrax> Ubuntu Help Team:P
  90 
  91 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:42] <swoody> Ubuntu Tech Support?
  92 
  93 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:49] <thewrath> Hellow: +1
  94 
  95 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:50] <nhandler> swoody: No. We aren't tech support
  96 
  97 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:52] <Vantrax> oh no... dont go ther
  98 
  99 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:53] <Rocket2DMn> we do more than help users, too
 100 
 101 [Tues Jun 2 23:18:58] <Ash_R> I think beginners is what we specialise in helping.  it should say so in our name
 102 
 103 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:0] <nhandler> I also don't like the way Ubuntu Help/Helping team sounds
 104 
 105 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:12] <Vantrax> I still call for Ubuntu Beginners Team
 106 
 107 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:16] <nhandler> My vote is for Ubuntu Beginners Team
 108 
 109 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:18] <Hellow> As do I
 110 
 111 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:21] <Ash_R> me too
 112 
 113 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:39] <Rocket2DMn> I don't think we need to decide today, but at least we can hear ideas
 114 
 115 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:42] <bodhi_zazen> do we want to decide this issue today ?
 116 
 117 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:49] <Vantrax> that being said, i am and work and have to duck out for 10 min
 118 
 119 [Tues Jun 2 23:19:54] <bodhi_zazen> or take suggestions and vote later ?
 120 
 121 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:3] <Ash_R> i have the time to discuss
 122 
 123 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:9] <nhandler> bodhi_zazen: I don't think we have enough people here to make a decission this big
 124 
 125 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:10] <thewrath> does everyone have their opinion on this or are those here that are undecided?
 126 
 127 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:13] <Vantrax> its been decided here before bodhi
 128 
 129 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:16] <bodhi_zazen> +1 nhandler
 130 
 131 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:24] <thewrath> Vantrax: +1
 132 
 133 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:27] <thewrath> nhandler:  +1
 134 
 135 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:37] <nhandler> I also think the council should have a meeting about it as well
 136 
 137 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:43] <Hellow> Discussion for this would be more efficient on the mailing list than in here
 138 
 139 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:47] <bodhi_zazen> Vantrax: the last time we decided we went with UFBT
 140 
 141 [Tues Jun 2 23:20:47] <Rocket2DMn> I am undecided, I need to see some options to choose from
 142 
 143 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:3] <Ash_R> what if we had a list of options,  if we really must change the name?
 144 
 145 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:21] <Vantrax> no bodhi_zazen the last time we went with UBT, and the council voted to keep UFBT and it stayed the same
 146 
 147 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:23] <bodhi_zazen> mailing list is OK, so long as it is discussed, otherwise ? wiki page
 148 
 149 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:31] <Vantrax> the vote by the team was UBT
 150 
 151 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:31] <swoody> I am in favor of removing the 'Forums' from our name as well. But would be open to see other suggestions as well.
 152 
 153 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:34] <Rocket2DMn> Let us also consider that this is a request, they aren't telling us to change our name, are they?
 154 
 155 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:49] <Hellow> Ash_R: I am fairly sure the majority of the team is in support of Ubuntu Beginners Team, but the entire team isnt here to discuss it.
 156 
 157 [Tues Jun 2 23:21:50] <bodhi_zazen> no Rocket2DMn , it is a request
 158 
 159 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:8] <bodhi_zazen> I am not so sure I agree Hellow
 160 
 161 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:13] <Ash_R> what is the motive behind the request bodhi_zazen
 162 
 163 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:17] <bodhi_zazen> I think the majority of the team prefers UFBT
 164 
 165 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:24] <Hellow> bodhi_zazen: If we had to change our name
 166 
 167 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:32] <Hellow> I prefer UFBT myself too
 168 
 169 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:37] <nhandler> Ash_R: Because we are trying to replace other teams and expand, so we are not just forums based
 170 
 171 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:45] <bodhi_zazen> Ash_R: the motive is to have the name of the team reflect the fact we are active outside of the forums
 172 
 173 [Tues Jun 2 23:22:57] <Hellow> (which we are)
 174 
 175 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:2] <Rocket2DMn> I would think that the logical step would be to go with Ubuntu Beginners Team if we do change.  If you want something different, then are you also proposing tht we change our team's mission?
 176 
 177 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:16] <duanedesign> Rocket2DMn: +1
 178 
 179 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:26] <Ash_R> +1 Rocket2DMn
 180 
 181 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:30] <yvan300> Rocket2DMn: that is a good point
 182 
 183 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:30] <Rocket2DMn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/MissionStatement
 184 
 185 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:32] <bodhi_zazen> no Rocket2DMn :)
 186 
 187 [Tues Jun 2 23:23:53] <bodhi_zazen> It is just that I am saying how is it we help beginners ?
 188 
 189 [Tues Jun 2 23:24:25] <Rocket2DMn> Well, on the forums we focus on the ABT section of the forums
 190 
 191 [Tues Jun 2 23:24:32] <drs305> Ubuntu Assistance Team
 192 
 193 [Tues Jun 2 23:24:37] <Rocket2DMn> tht's the idea anyway, though we do cover most areas of the forums in reality
 194 
 195 [Tues Jun 2 23:24:47] <nhandler> drubin: That might get confused with Accessibility
 196 
 197 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:11] <nhandler> * drs305
 198 
 199 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:11] <bodhi_zazen> NUT
 200 
 201 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:16] <bodhi_zazen> Uew Users Team
 202 
 203 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:25] <bodhi_zazen> New Users Team, lol
 204 
 205 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:28] <Rocket2DMn> Besides, what do we define as a "beginner"?  Somebody can have used Ubuntu for years, but if they are new to something else, like a new program, they are a beginner for using that program
 206 
 207 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:38] <Ash_R> what is the difference between a beginner and a new user?
 208 
 209 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:42] <Hellow> bodhi_zazen: What if the users aren't new, just inexperienced in Linux?
 210 
 211 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:45] <swoody> bodhi_zazen:  I think that may get confused with the now dead New User Network
 212 
 213 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:54] <duanedesign> continuing education team :)
 214 
 215 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:55] <bodhi_zazen> New To Ubuntu
 216 
 217 [Tues Jun 2 23:25:59] <Ash_R> are we just changing words?
 218 
 219 [Tues Jun 2 23:26:17] <Rocket2DMn> I would -1 changing words
 220 
 221 [Tues Jun 2 23:26:23] <Ash_R> +1 Rocket2DMn
 222 
 223 [Tues Jun 2 23:26:27] <Hellow> +1 Rocket2DMn
 224 
 225 [Tues Jun 2 23:26:49] <Rocket2DMn> We are known throughout the community as the Beginners Team (even without the Forums part of the title).  We use this name everything - wiki, lp, forums, mailing lists, etc
 226 
 227 [Tues Jun 2 23:26:57] <bodhi_zazen> well, that leaves UFBT or UBT or just BT or UT
 228 
 229 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:10] <Rocket2DMn> UT?
 230 
 231 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:14] <Hellow> Ubuntu Team?
 232 
 233 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:17] <Ash_R> i like beginners team.  its short and straight to the point
 234 
 235 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:17] <bodhi_zazen> Ubuntu Team
 236 
 237 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:22] <drs305> UBT
 238 
 239 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:24] <swoody> +1 for UBT
 240 
 241 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:30] <jgoguen> +1 UBT
 242 
 243 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:32] <Hellow> +1 UBT
 244 
 245 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:32] <bodhi_zazen> UBN
 246 
 247 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:33] <Rocket2DMn> I would vote for UBT or just BT
 248 
 249 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:42] <thewrath> i say UBT
 250 
 251 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:45] <bodhi_zazen> Ubuntu Beginners Network ?
 252 
 253 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:47] <thewrath> then they know wat beginner tema it is
 254 
 255 [Tues Jun 2 23:27:52] <thewrath> bodhi_zazen: +1
 256 
 257 [Tues Jun 2 23:28:9] <Hellow> bodhi_zazen: Yet we are not a network, we are a team :).
 258 
 259 [Tues Jun 2 23:28:12] <Rocket2DMn> +1 thewrath , other teams also use Ubuntu in their titles
 260 
 261 [Tues Jun 2 23:28:19] <swoody> Hellow +1
 262 
 263 [Tues Jun 2 23:28:38] <Rocket2DMn> that's a good point Hellow , a network is only loosely connected, we are well organized
 264 
 265 [Tues Jun 2 23:28:41] <bodhi_zazen> Well we are a netwrok as we coordinate on forums, wiki, LP, etx
 266 
 267 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:5] <swoody> I think we do 'network' but I think we *are* a team
 268 
 269 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:15] <bodhi_zazen> UBT is sounding like the winner ;)
 270 
 271 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:21] <Rocket2DMn> I tend to think of a "network" of individuals as just people who know eachother as contacts, but dont necessarily work together
 272 
 273 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:30] <Ash_R> i agree with bodhi_zazen ,  though do not like the idea of network in the name,  we are a team at heart
 274 
 275 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:31] <Rocket2DMn> just my .02
 276 
 277 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:43] <duanedesign> Beginners Education Team
 278 
 279 [Tues Jun 2 23:29:50] <Hellow> A team, in my eyes, is a group of people that focus on a specific topic or many specific topics. A Network is basically like what Rocket2DMn said.
 280 
 281 [Tues Jun 2 23:30:6] <Hellow> duanedesign: That would be too close to the existing Education Team.
 282 
 283 [Tues Jun 2 23:30:9] <nhandler> duanedesign: That is more like what our Education FG / UCLP is
 284 
 285 [Tues Jun 2 23:30:20] <Ash_R> i think in nearly all team names suggested 2 common words keep cropping up.  beginners and team
 286 
 287 [Tues Jun 2 23:30:51] <bodhi_zazen> which leaves us with UBT
 288 
 289 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:10] <bodhi_zazen> We could be a task force =)
 290 
 291 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:15] <Hellow> lol
 292 
 293 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:18] <nhandler> Are there any other suggestions? Or are we just debating whether to stay with UFBT or change to UBT?
 294 
 295 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:21] <Rocket2DMn> lol bodhi_zazen
 296 
 297 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:23] <Hellow> "Ubuntu Beginners Task Force"
 298 
 299 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:29] <Hellow> That would be a fun one
 300 
 301 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:30] <Vantrax> okies, im back
 302 
 303 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:42] <thewrath> Hellow:  +1
 304 
 305 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:45] <Ash_R> what does the community know us as?  should we not stick to what they know us as?
 306 
 307 [Tues Jun 2 23:31:46] <bodhi_zazen> I think the real debase is UFBT vs UTB
 308 
 309 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:0] <Hellow> We go beyond the forums
 310 
 311 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:5] <drs305> UBT
 312 
 313 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:8] <Hellow> Forums should not be a part of our name
 314 
 315 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:8] <swoody> Squad, Company, Organization, Troop, Outfit, Federation, Crew...?
 316 
 317 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:15] <Hellow> UBT has my vote
 318 
 319 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:17] <bodhi_zazen> community knows us as the steam roller Ash_R
 320 
 321 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:26] <duanedesign> +1
 322 
 323 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:27] <Rocket2DMn> lol!
 324 
 325 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:29] <Ash_R> nice bodhi_zazen :)
 326 
 327 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:43] <Ash_R> but you understand my point
 328 
 329 [Tues Jun 2 23:32:45] <Rocket2DMn> we're like goo, we just ooze into other areas of the community
 330 
 331 [Tues Jun 2 23:33:4] <duanedesign> lol
 332 
 333 [Tues Jun 2 23:33:41] <bodhi_zazen> do we want to vote on this topic ?
 334 
 335 [Tues Jun 2 23:33:44] <Rocket2DMn> Should we setup a LP vote or vote now?
 336 
 337 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:5] <duanedesign> Re-Education Team
 338 
 339 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:10] <Vantrax> I think we should vote, but the result is pretty clear
 340 
 341 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:11] <Hellow> I think we may need to discuss this more, not everyone is here, and we need everyone's opinion on this.
 342 
 343 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:20] <nhandler> bodhi_zazen: Do you think we have enough people here to really vote?
 344 
 345 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:27] <swoody> +1 for a vote, I don't think removing 'Forums' will cause anyone too much distress
 346

 410 
 411 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:27] <jorgerosa> hello all
 412 
 413 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:32] <Hellow> I think we should delay it
 414 
 415 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:33] <jorgerosa> what are you vonting?
 416 
 417 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:34] <TuxPurple> ubuntu all-rounder team :P
 418 
 419 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:37] <yvan300> lets do a recount
 420 
 421 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:37] <bodhi_zazen> I say discuss and vote in 2 weeks
 422 
 423 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:38] <Ash_R> what does bodhi_zazen think?
 424 
 425 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:48] <drs305> I will change to delay if you wish.
 426 
 427 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:55] <bodhi_zazen> I think we need time for suggestions
 428 
 429 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:1] <duanedesign> if makes a diiference I thought +1 was to delay 2 weeks
 430 
 431 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:1] <drs305> fine with me,
 432 
 433 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:2] <Hellow> +1 bodhi_zazen
 434 
 435 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:15] <Ash_R> where can we post suggestions?
 436 
 437 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:26] <Vantrax> i think we should make a wiki page for names
 438 
 439 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:30] <Rocket2DMn> Let's have bodhi_zazen start a mailing list thread
 440 
 441 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:31] <bodhi_zazen> OK discussion > mailing list | wiki page
 442 
 443 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:31] <Hellow> Mailing list? I'll get that stared after the meeting if yall wish.
 444 
 445 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:51] <Rocket2DMn> a wiki page is difficult to deal with for a whole team, i think mailing list + a LP vote is better
 446 
 447 [Tues Jun 2 23:37:56] <nhandler> bodhi_zazen: We decided that the Mailing List should be used for agenda item discussions
 448 
 449 [Tues Jun 2 23:38:0] <bodhi_zazen> Rocket2DMn: I like wiki page, people can leave comments, easier to read
 450 
 451 [Tues Jun 2 23:38:15] <Rocket2DMn> bodhi_zazen, forums work best for that
 452 
 453 [Tues Jun 2 23:38:15] <bodhi_zazen> LOL
 454 
 455 [Tues Jun 2 23:38:38] <bodhi_zazen> mailing list ?
 456 
 457 [Tues Jun 2 23:38:47] <Hellow> +1 on mailing list
 458 
 459 [Tues Jun 2 23:39:1] <Hellow> and use the wiki for names suggested
 460 
 461 [Tues Jun 2 23:39:3] <Rocket2DMn> +1 mailist list
 462 
 463 [Tues Jun 2 23:39:18] <bodhi_zazen> ok, mailing list it is then :)
 464 
 465 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:14] <Rocket2DMn> ok, lets move on
 466 
 467 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:16] <bodhi_zazen> Next item - Python - Hellow

 477 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:44] <ibuclaw> D!!! >:)
 478 
 479 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:48] <Hellow> LeAstrale started a sort of "Quest for Python"
 480 
 481 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:49] <Vantrax> had to be done
 482 
 483 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:55] <Ash_R> can we please stay on topic?
 484 
 485 [Tues Jun 2 23:41:48] <Hellow> We are basically helping each other to learn python, using the book "A byte of python" by Swaroop C H.
 486 
 487 [Tues Jun 2 23:41:51] <bodhi_zazen> Hellow: is this an issue for the team or just an announcement ?
 488 
 489 [Tues Jun 2 23:41:54] <Hellow> (sorry for the delay)
 490 
 491 [Tues Jun 2 23:41:57] <Hellow> An announcement

 502 
 503 [Tues Jun 2 23:42:47] <ibuclaw> bodhi_zazen, to my understanding, this is going to be revolved around the beginners-dev team.
 504 
 505 [Tues Jun 2 23:42:59] <JanC> and there are several other free python books on-line...
 506 
 507 [Tues Jun 2 23:43:12] <bodhi_zazen> Unless there is a need for discussion I say we move on w/ linky to be posted :)

 602 
 603 [Tues Jun 2 23:50:39] <bodhi_zazen> Ash_R: log in with openid, use your LP account
 604 
 605 [Tues Jun 2 23:50:48] <Ash_R> has paul tag said anything about IRC focus group?
 606 
 607 [Tues Jun 2 23:51:2] <Ash_R> time zones playing havoc and all that

 613 [Tues Jun 2 23:52:25] <Rocket2DMn> nhandler, for team reports, can you email the list a bit in advance of when reports are due so FGs can update the page?
 614 
 615 [Tues Jun 2 23:52:41] <Ash_R> bodhi_zazen, not as such.  i know he took over from Joeb454  as a part lead.  i was curious to see if i have missed anything

 617 [Tues Jun 2 23:52:54] <bodhi_zazen> kk
 618 
 619 [Tues Jun 2 23:53:29] <bodhi_zazen> the education FG will be looking to add content to the UCLP site in the near future :)

 625 [Tues Jun 2 23:53:58] <bodhi_zazen> questions ?
 626 
 627 [Tues Jun 2 23:54:44] <bodhi_zazen> I have one final issue then :)
 628 
 629 [Tues Jun 2 23:54:54] <bodhi_zazen> let us say behavior on this channel
 630 
 631 [Tues Jun 2 23:55:4] <bodhi_zazen> first, thank you to everyone for improving
 632 
 633 [Tues Jun 2 23:55:26] <bodhi_zazen> I would like to remind people, we have a diverse group now
 634 
 635 [Tues Jun 2 23:55:54] <bodhi_zazen> some people ( bodhi_zazen ) are old (farts) and mature
 636 
 637 [Tues Jun 2 23:55:59] <Vantrax> just wait till compiledkernel shows up
 638 
 639 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:1] <bodhi_zazen> others are younger
 640 
 641 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:22] <Hellow> Vantrax: dont say that word :P
 642 
 643 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:31] <Vantrax> <- some are somewhere in the middle
 644 
 645 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:36] <bodhi_zazen> I know the younger ones take a little more time sometimes, please direct them to me if then need some guidence
 646 
 647 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:53] <Hellow> <- and some are the complete opposite of old
 648 
 649 [Tues Jun 2 23:56:59] <bodhi_zazen> or if there are other members willing to mentor young ones let me know
 650 
 651 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:9] <yvan300> bodhi_zazen: what's that i hear about younger ones?
 652 
 653 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:9] <jgoguen> Hellow: youngster :P
 654 
 655 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:16] <Hellow> jgoguen: yep :P
 656 
 657 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:16] <JanC> bodhi_zazen: what do you mean by guidance?  ;)
 658 
 659 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:22] <Vantrax> if your in the asia pacific timezone and need a mentor come see me:P
 660 
 661 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:32] <Ash_R> i would not mind bodhi_zazen ,  but i do not feel qualified.
 662 
 663 [Tues Jun 2 23:57:37] <Hellow> is already mentoring someone
 664 
 665 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:16] <duanedesign> o/I think it is important to resolve issues/differences right away. Dont hold grudges or develop animosity towards each other.
 666 
 667 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:18] <bodhi_zazen> Sometimes young people, say less then 30, especially less then 20, need a little more education re netiquette
 668 
 669 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:22] <yvan300> who hear lives in (-4)
 670 
 671 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:23] <jgoguen> bodhi_zazen: do you mean mentoring like the masters or something different?
 672 
 673 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:34] <jgoguen> yvan300: UTC-4?
 674 
 675 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:48] <yvan300> jgoguen: thats it :)
 676 
 677 [Tues Jun 2 23:58:50] <bodhi_zazen> no, mentoring in terms of immature behavior in this channel :)
 678 
 679 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:2] <jgoguen> yvan300: depends on the time of year, I'm either in UTC-3 or UTC-4...right now I'm UTC-3
 680 
 681 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:6] <bodhi_zazen> w/o mentioning specific names
 682 
 683 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:11] <jgoguen> lol
 684 
 685 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:27] <Ash_R> oh,  i can do that...i think anyway
 686 
 687 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:30] <ibuclaw> JanC, we attract quite a few enthusiasts in their teens, by all means, they mean well. But can be noisey without realising it. :)
 688 
 689 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:31] <JanC> bodhi_zazen: if people need to learn netiquette, feel free to point them to me  ;)
 690 
 691 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:35] <yvan300> bodhi_zazen: who do you mean, montel, right :)
 692 
 693 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:36] <bodhi_zazen> awesome Ash_R :)
 694 
 695 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:36] <jgoguen> bodhi_zazen: I don't mind taking people and explaining how things work
 696 
 697 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:44] <Ash_R> bodhi_zazen, thank you.
 698 
 699 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:47] <Hellow> ibuclaw: hey!

 712 
 713 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:38] <Ash_R> bodhi_zazen, i have not seen montel since he wiped his blog database or something
 714 
 715 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:40] <bodhi_zazen> Montel - you can lead noobs to documentation, but you can not make them read :)
 716 
 717 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:53] <ibuclaw> haha
 718 
 719 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:57] <bodhi_zazen> moves to end meeting

 729 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:22] <bodhi_zazen> JanC: you are most welcome to this channel
 730 
 731 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:35] <jgoguen> ibuclaw: something like the quickest way to get a thread ignored is to sticky it? :)
 732 
 733 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:5] <bodhi_zazen> naw, I just close threads that have need answered in a sticky
 734 
 735 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:16] <bodhi_zazen> w/ a message, there is a reason they are a sticky :)
 736

 743 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:51] <bodhi_zazen> any other team issues ?
 744 
 745 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:54] <Snova> The weird thing about stickies is that I gloss over them, so I never notice when there are new posts. It really is the best way to get people to ignore things.
