Log of meeting on 06/02/09
General Agenda Items and Proposals
PLEASE COME TO THE MEETINGS PREPARED.
This means:
- If there is an issue for the team, add it to the agenda.
- 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.
- 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.
- Agenda items that require more then 5 minutes of discussion may need to be deferred.

Does anyone want to join our "A quest for Python"?

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
347 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:31] <bodhi_zazen> +1 on further discussion, vote in say 2 weeks ?
348
349 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:31] <Rocket2DMn> I'm ok with delaying a vote or putting it on LP and mailing the list
350
351 [Tues Jun 2 23:34:44] <Hellow> 2 weeks sounds good
352
353 [Tues Jun 2 23:35:7] <nhandler> .vote "+1 Vote Now -1 Delay Vote 2 weeks"
354
355 [Tues Jun 2 23:35:7] <Votebot> We Are Now Voting On: +1 Vote Now -1 Delay Vote 2 weeks

391 [Tues Jun 2 23:35:52] <Hellow> agrees with bodhi

408
409 [Tues Jun 2 23:36:25] <bodhi_zazen> that means bodhi decides :)
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
468
469 [Tues Jun 2 23:40:26] <Hellow> alrighty

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

501 [Tues Jun 2 23:42:15] <Hellow> hold on
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
608
609 [Tues Jun 2 23:51:50] <bodhi_zazen> very nice nhandler :)
610
611 [Tues Jun 2 23:52:2] <bodhi_zazen> no Ash_R , any news ?
612
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
616
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 :)
620
621 [Tues Jun 2 23:53:50] <bodhi_zazen> I think that is about all we have for the meeting this month
622
623 [Tues Jun 2 23:53:55] <bodhi_zazen> any other issues ?
624
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!
700
701 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:51] <Hellow> lol
702
703 [Tues Jun 2 23:59:56] <bodhi_zazen> speaking of montel, how is he doing ?
704
705 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:6] <Hellow> has no idea on Montel
706
707 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:7] <duanedesign> lol
708
709 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:19] <yvan300> he should be online soon
710
711 [Wed Jun 3 0:0:36] <duanedesign> o/
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
720
721 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:2] <Hellow> LOL
722
723 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:8] <JanC> well, if this channel is going to stay, I'll add it to my auto-join list...
724
725 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:9] <jgoguen> bodhi_zazen: sudo aptitude purge $all_packages
726
727 [Wed Jun 3 0:1:13] <ibuclaw> bodhi_zazen, there was a similar discussion about stickies in the forums
728
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
737 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:20] <yvan300> JanC: who are you?
738
739 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:26] <bodhi_zazen> seems to work w/o causing too much havoc
740
741 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:47] <ibuclaw> yvan300, a lugwv member, apparently ;)
742
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.
746
747 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:56] <Hellow> ibuclaw: OBVIOUSNESS
748
749 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:56] <bodhi_zazen> or end meeting ?
750
751 [Wed Jun 3 0:2:58] <Hellow> ;p
752
753 [Wed Jun 3 0:3:2] <Hellow> lets end it
754
