Jul 21 19:22:16 <_marx_> how'd that go?

Jul 21 19:22:33 <mikeh789> we are working on an asheville meet and greet

Jul 21 19:22:39 <_marx_> cool

Jul 21 19:23:15 <mikeh789> and i got some CD's form her, and i left them a couple places

Jul 21 19:23:18 <mikeh789> from

Jul 21 19:24:12 <mikeh789> working on reserving the venue, and I'll go from there

Jul 21 19:24:15 <_marx_> I've contacted FCTC and we can post on their physical bulletin boards but no access to labs

Jul 21 19:25:15 <_marx_> need to get something that will hold cd's on a vertical surface

Jul 21 19:25:35 <mikeh789> how many cd's?

Jul 21 19:25:35 <_marx_> poster that holds say 10 cd's

Jul 21 19:25:40 <mikeh789> OK

Jul 21 19:26:13 <_marx_> I wanted to action akgraner on that w/her contacts at canonical

Jul 21 19:26:38 <mikeh789> i bet they have something like that

Jul 21 19:26:52 <_marx_> [/TOPIC]

Jul 21 19:27:05 <_marx_> I bet so too

Jul 21 19:27:51 * _marx_ checks calender

Jul 21 19:28:44 <_marx_> hum, i'm still not sure how to use mootbot

Jul 21 19:29:17 <mikeh789> i can't be of any help im afraid

Jul 21 19:30:08 <_marx_> I've made contact w/Recreation and Parks in Winston re using the computers in the rec centers w/livecd's

Jul 21 19:30:41 <mikeh789> nice

Jul 21 19:30:52 <_marx_> I've been swapping voicemails since last Thursday the 15th

Jul 21 19:31:07 <mikeh789> sound promising?

Jul 21 19:31:21 <_marx_> it does sound promising

Jul 21 19:32:20 <mikeh789> i don't know why more places like that aren't using ltsp server-client

Jul 21 19:32:27 <mikeh789> seems so much easier

Jul 21 19:33:08 <mikeh789> dealing with a bunch of windows boxes (public) seems like a nightmare

Jul 21 19:33:10 <_marx_> they are using some citrix solution

Jul 21 19:36:14 <mikeh789> september 5th is the tentative date for the asheville meet and greet

Jul 21 19:36:15 <_marx_> i'm thinking it could be a good location for an installfest as well

Jul 21 19:36:40 <mikeh789> and thats all i really have to offer as far as buisness

Jul 21 19:37:00 <mikeh789> so keep the updates you have coming

Jul 21 19:37:02 <_marx_> my brother just got out of Memorial Mission from open heart surgery

Jul 21 19:39:57 <_marx_> hey Jfrorie1

Jul 21 19:40:29 <Jfrorie1> hey all. Bberry again :p

Jul 21 19:40:46 <mikeh789> Jfrorie1: hello

Jul 21 19:42:36 <_marx_> I'll write up my progress for a report to the mailing list

Jul 21 19:44:11 <mikeh789> cool

Jul 21 19:47:34 <mikeh789> _marx_: are you talking to any other groups about using ubuntu?

Jul 21 19:50:12 <_marx_> I'm a member of the forsyth county computer club which is largely a windows group

Jul 21 19:50:54 <_marx_> when bro jeff recovers some I'll ask about home schooling groups in the A'ville area

Jul 21 19:51:33 <mikeh789> the learing center i mentioned is in weaverville

Jul 21 19:51:41 <_marx_> ah

Jul 21 19:51:43 <mikeh789> woodland hills church

Jul 21 19:51:53 <_marx_> ok

Jul 21 19:52:10 <_marx_> I don't know the name of his church

Jul 21 19:52:11 <mikeh789> they are working on a computer lab

Jul 21 19:52:22 <_marx_> do you know a Jeff Cox

Jul 21 19:52:54 <mikeh789> i dont think so, but my folks go to church there every sunday

Jul 21 19:53:13 <_marx_> ah, you don't go every sunday?

Jul 21 19:53:38 <mikeh789> i go once or twice a year

Jul 21 19:53:56 <_marx_> pretty sure bro jeff is non-demominational

Jul 21 19:54:14 <mikeh789> me too

Jul 21 19:54:37 <mikeh789> this is a sothern baptist church

Jul 21 19:54:50 <_marx_> oh he doesn't go there

Jul 21 19:54:58 <_marx_> we did when kids

Jul 21 19:55:03 <mikeh789> rather open-minded one in my opinion

Jul 21 19:55:12 <mikeh789> but i still don't go there

Jul 21 19:55:42 <mikeh789> i'm going to run ubuntu in the area where my mother works

Jul 21 19:56:07 <mikeh789> they have a pretty rough set-up right now

Jul 21 19:56:27 <_marx_> report to the list on that effort, I think it could count as a team project

Jul 21 19:56:27 <mikeh789> xp machines that were set up by an admin that is not there anymore

Jul 21 19:56:42 <mikeh789> will do

Jul 21 19:56:45 <_marx_> ugh

Jul 21 19:57:15 <mikeh789> i hope to get them up and running before this next session

Jul 21 19:57:55 <mikeh789> i have "alternate" hard drives to install to, so i can just label the one's there, and put them in a box

Jul 21 19:58:12 <mikeh789> if anyone wants them back the way they were

Jul 21 19:58:13 <_marx_> sounds like a good plan

Jul 21 19:58:57 <_marx_> hah, may be same for R&P Winston too

Jul 21 19:59:28 <mikeh789> i have a bunch of 8 to 20 gig HD's laying around

Jul 21 19:59:34 * _marx_ going to make 2 actions

Jul 21 20:00:19 <_marx_> both of us to report to team mailing list on efforts w/church/R&P

Jul 21 20:02:12 <mikeh789> are you going to run the LTS there?

Jul 21 20:04:26 <_marx_> hum hadn't considered that

Jul 21 20:04:46 <mikeh789> i think compiz is almost manatory on 9.04

Jul 21 20:04:54 <mikeh789> with the new notifications

Jul 21 20:04:55 <_marx_> probably 9.04 as those are what I have to give away

Jul 21 20:05:12 <mikeh789> and this hardware is not going to support compiz

Jul 21 20:05:24 <_marx_> hum

Jul 21 20:05:57 <_marx_> well notifications work ok on my laptop w/an old nvidia chip

Jul 21 20:06:08 <_marx_> not using compiz

Jul 21 20:06:49 <mikeh789> yeah, i guess it'll be fine for them as well

Jul 21 20:07:45 <_marx_> I'm going to sneak in w/ a wireless router

Jul 21 20:08:01 <mikeh789> i did that as well

Jul 21 20:08:11 <_marx_> as a test run

Jul 21 20:08:34 <mikeh789> i think it gets to stay now

Jul 21 20:10:19 <_marx_> well I want to see if a plugged in indie wireless router will broadcast

Jul 21 20:15:40 <_marx_> I investigated 501c too

Jul 21 20:15:54 <_marx_> imho it's not worth the cost
