19:13	cj	okay, unless you have a very large monitor, that link should take you directly to your question
19:13	Ashex	Yeah, it did
19:13		very nice
19:19		Is this running on a personal box or off in some datacenter?
19:22		althara joined #ubuntu-us-wa
19:23	althara	hey, all I'm still having issues getting my server to log in to irc, so I'm just running a client on my laptop when I'm acutally on line
19:24		I check email pretty often, and I'm persistently logged into AIM as althara
19:24		Hopefully I can figure out what is going on soon
19:28	peanutb	althara: I can give you a shell account if you need one
19:29		althara left #ubuntu-us-wa
19:29		althara1 joined #ubuntu-us-wa
19:30		althara1 left #ubuntu-us-wa
19:30		althara joined #ubuntu-us-wa
19:30	althara	ack, technology hates me today
19:30		peanutb: Thanks. I may take you up on that, as I have no idea why I can't log into any irc server on my machine now. Probably something to do with updates I applied yesterday.
19:32		or someone changed something upstream in the firewall or loadbalancer :/
19:37	cj	althara: hey, look!
19:37		http://ilbot.colliertech.org/u[…]-us-wa/2009-12-17
19:37	althara	I saw :)
19:37	cj	o. burst my bubble.
19:37	althara	You've been busy this morning. :D
19:37		Aww
19:37	cj	yeah. the vpn is b0rken.
19:39	althara	That is why I only gave out contact information that is already publicly discoverable :p
19:40		we should get Salt\|afk to update the topic to not that the channel is now logged and where the logs can be found
19:40		Since I am no longer +o'd after being disconnected
19:40		I don't think he made me a mod permanently
19:41		err op
19:42	Ashex	Poooop :(
19:42	cj	Salt\|afk: moo?
19:43	peanutb	yeah.. Salt\|afk is the only one with ops
19:43		at the moment
19:44	althara	I'm sure he'll be around later today
19:44		:)
19:44	cj	the logbot isn't in my init scripts. if it goes away, do bother me ;)
19:44	peanutb	:)
19:48		althara_ joined #ubuntu-us-wa
19:48		Salt\|afk is now known as Salt
19:49		althara left #ubuntu-us-wa
19:49		althara joined #ubuntu-us-wa
19:50	Salt	<_<
19:50		>_>
19:50		RAWR
19:50	cj	Salt: we need teh opz!
19:51	Salt	who needs teh opz?
19:51		<_<
19:51	cj	Salt: topic += "logged at http://ilbot.colliertech.org/ubuntu-us-wa/
19:51		"
19:51	peanutb	perhaps registering others with chanserv would be good
19:51	Salt	eyah
19:51	* cj	agrees with peanutb
19:52	Salt	i'll set that up in a moment, i haven't caught up with all my backlogs yet
19:52		althara left #ubuntu-us-wa
19:53	peanutb	Salt ah allrght. good luck. sounds like a lot of reading
19:55	althara_	Salt: you rock!
19:55	Salt	you need to haz a bouncer
19:55	althara_	I've got all my stuff figured out now. Sorry for the sampz
19:56		err psamz
19:56	cj	I crack myself up.
19:56		http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=660
19:56	althara_	gah spamz
19:56		hehehe
19:56		cj: that acually made me lol
19:56	cj	althara_: I'm doing my job right.
19:58		althara_ is now known as althara
19:58	cj	I'll mention mono, debian and gnome and get it in all the aggregators.
19:58	althara	yea, I'm me again
19:58	Salt	k
19:59		wow 8 new emails in ubuntu
19:59		either there's a lot of activity or someone doesn't know how to respond properly
19:59	Ashex	I think there is an access list you can add althara to
19:59		so she gets auto-op when she identifies
19:59	althara	it's been a busy morning
19:59	Salt	yes i can
20:00		and i'll figure out who gets what once i'm done with all these backlogs
20:00		:P
20:00	althara	So we should stop saying Salt, and distracting you :p
20:00	* althara	hides
20:00	peanutb	cj: wow
20:01	Ashex	/msg ChanServ ACCESS #foo ADD bar OP
20:01		Er, okay
20:01	* Ashex	is working but gets bored easily
20:01	Salt	Ashex, i know the commands
20:01		they use flags here not access list
20:01	Ashex	Okay, I didn't see your response until I got back here :p
20:01	Salt	:P
20:02	Ashex	I need to figure out how to hook irssi into putty so i can get pings
20:03	cj	Ashex: hmm? irssi into putty? do you mean use putty to ssh to a host running irssi (+screen)?
20:03	Ashex	cj: I see alerts in irssi but putty doesn't flash or do anything
20:03		I'm poking at google right now to figure it out
20:04	cj	Ashex: ah, it's something about bell in man screen
20:04		peanutb: what are you wow'ing about?
20:04	Ashex	Gotcha
20:04	althara	I just realized I forgot to start screen before I start irssi.
20:04	* althara	hangs head
20:04	Ashex	Um, someone say my name?
20:04	cj	althara: haha ;)
20:04		Ashex: moo
20:05	* althara	fails at the internetz today
20:05	peanutb	cj: your blog post
20:05	Ashex	woops, forget to set the flash option
20:05		One more time?
20:05	cj	Ashex: moo again
20:05	Ashex	Sweet, works now
20:05	* Ashex	saves setting
20:05	Salt	althara, think i should give chuck a call?
20:09		k, two non founder ops
20:10	Ashex	btw, access list makes it persistent, the flags are temporary
20:10	Salt	you sure on that
20:11		i'm almost 100% flags on this ircd add them into access list
20:11		like, very close to 100%
20:12	althara	Salt: He's participating int he list and getting things going. So I think we're good for now.
20:12		Is there someone else who wants to be a mod on the forus he just requested?
20:12	cj	sure, I'll do it
20:12	althara	We can have two and the admin (which has to be Chuck)
20:12	Salt	he may be responding to the list but i need to respond to the comments he's made about who started this thing
20:13	cj	let's not bicker ;)
20:13	althara	If you can be civil and think it would be a productive conversation I say go for otherwise what matters now is where we go from here.
20:13	Ashex	Salt: Ah, I just wasn't entirely sure, I was poking at the chanserv doc and it mentioned the access list
20:13	Salt	Ashex, this particular chanserv does it that way
20:14	Ashex	Alright, works for me
20:14		althara: two+admin should be enough
20:14		er, I read that wrong
20:16	althara	np
20:17	Ashex	I volunteer myself?
20:18	althara	I think I just made this a bit messy. :/ Perhaps it should be discussed at the IRC meeting if we should vote on who mods the forums, etc?
20:19	Ashex	Yeah, that would be the best option
20:19		I'm not voting on the meeting time as I have family visiting and may be travelling that week
20:20	althara	The poll is two weeks-ish. From the 3rd to the 16th. And you should vote even if you can't make it. Because if there are enough people who can't do anything in that time period we can adjust out a week.
20:21	peanutb	althara: its a bit long. First time i tried it only displayed a few times. Can you delete that. And Ill do it again
20:22	Salt	althara, that poll is a bit long tbh...
20:22	Ashex	althara: ah. it's those two weeks which are in the air. I'll just vote for the days I know I have off
20:24		would anyone be interested in also doing a skype conference for it?
20:24		On top of irc that is
20:24	Salt	quite possible
20:24	althara	I think that would be a bit more complicated
20:24		Me intention for the irc meeting was to have one place where the conversation was happeneing
20:24		*happening
20:25	Ashex	Gotcha
20:25	althara	So everyone who was interested and available could participate
20:25	Ashex	We can just put it on the agenda for discussion then
20:25	althara	sounds good
20:25		I can go ahead and scrap that poll and we can make antoher one. What date/time range are people thinking for an easier poll?
20:26	Ashex	Aw, I just voted :<
20:26	althara	I haven't done anything yet
20:27		All 8 people who have voted so far have said they are available, or can be, at 2pm on the Jan 3rd
20:27		I also left it so people can update their answers if they need to.
20:31		PhoneSim joined #ubuntu-us-wa
20:37	althara	peanutb: deleted your incorrect entry on the poll
20:37	PhoneSim	i probably forgot tz too
20:38	althara	If you have a doodle account you can change your anwers. Or you can put in a new entry and I'll delete the old one
20:38	PhoneSim	The range is just so big.
20:39	althara	I know :(
20:39		peanutb: Has offered to create a new poll.
20:40		I'm just aafraid that if we keep trying to redo a poll because people aren't happy with it's format. We'll never actually get to having a meeting
20:41	PhoneSim	The 3rd seemed popular enough.
20:41	althara	On the other hand I have no idea how many people have just ignored it because it's so long
20:41		chough Salt :p
20:41		*cough
20:41		PhoneSim: agreed.
20:42	Salt	:P
20:42		i ignored it because it was long and i was buy
20:42		busy*
20:42	PhoneSim	Plus it should probably be sooner than later.
20:42	althara	Did it really take anyone more than 5 minutes to fill out the poll?
20:42		or even 10 minutes?
20:42		PhoneSim is now known as GreySim
20:42	Salt	it should take less than 30 seconds to fill out a poll tbh althara
20:42		that's kinda how polls work
20:43		if it's going to take around 5 minutes then it should jsut have been an email
20:43	althara	So we should do a single date and time and a yes no poll?
20:43	Salt	no, we should have a time range on 3 or 5 days
20:43	GreySim	Doodle for a single date would bood, IMO.
20:43	Salt	then once the day is picked we should chose the time
20:43	GreySim	Or that.
20:44	Salt	yeah, whenever i use doodle it's between 2 days and 3 times on each day
20:44		or 3 days sometimes i suppose
20:44	GreySim	But the 3rd does seem like a really good day.
20:44	Salt	but i still keep it to about 3 options per
20:44	althara	Fair enough
20:45	Salt	if doodle had a check alll feature those long ones wouldn't be quite as bad
20:45	althara	I just didn't want to exclude anyone because their schedule may be less open than others. Or force people into my limited schedule.
20:45	Salt	but as is now that's pretty hard to go through
20:46	GreySim	School starts on the 4th, IIRC, most social geekery like D&D is Friday or Saturday nights, Sunday the 3rd is perfect. All hail the 3rd, the wise and mighy 3rd!
20:46		+t
20:46	Salt	yeap
20:46	althara	I agree, doodle is imperfect and needs a check all feature. And things should be done differently in the future. But I also think in the time you've taken to express your dissatisfaction the poll could have been filled out.
20:47	Salt	althara, this is the first time i've had a chance to look at the poll
20:47		sorry
20:47		:P
20:47	GreySim	I filled it out, just without timezone. :(
20:48		<-- Dennis Fisher
20:49	althara	GreySim: yours came out to start times between 9-11am you can fit in and noon-7pm are ok, and 8-9pm you can fit in on the 3rd. How much is it offset by?
20:50	Salt	k, i'm gonna give chuck a ring
20:50	GreySim	That seems pretty accurate...I think just add an hour.
20:51	althara	so should be 10-noon fit in, etc
20:51	GreySim	Yeah
20:51	althara	I can fit it as the admin
20:51		*fix
20:51		I'll just have you verify when I'm done
20:51		If you approve of me doing that (?)
20:52	GreySim	Can't until I get home to a real computer, but that is less than an hour away.
20:52		Yea.
20:52		+h
20:58	valorie	they are interviewing the UW "why women don't enter CS" team on KUOW right now
20:58		http://kuow.org
20:58	althara	ok added Dennis Fisher (updated) when you have a chance lmk if it looks ok, and then I can delete the old on
20:58		valorie: I know. I'm in the datacenter now, so I can't listen
20:59	valorie	I'll post the link to the podcast when they put it u[p
20:59	althara	I'll be listening to the archive, and judging from the plug this morning telling those UW researchers they are so very worng
20:59		*wrong
21:00		I was tempted to call in and tell them about geekfeminism.org
21:00		But I'm a chicken
21:00	valorie	he's exploring a bit more deeply than just the study
21:00	althara	good
21:00	valorie	althara, email him
21:00		he wants to know why women aren't choosing it as a career
21:00	althara	women ARE
21:00		gah!
21:01	valorie	fewer, the statistics show
21:01	althara	because last time I checked I was a woman
21:01	valorie	sorry
21:01	althara	I'm not mad at you
21:01		I'm mad at how this discussion almost always goes
21:01	valorie	well, sorry for bad summation
21:01	althara	sorry
21:01	cj	althara: sorry
21:01		sorry: sorry
21:01	valorie	Ross is doing a good job
21:01		as usual
21:02	althara	valorie: I didn't mean to jump on you, sorry
21:02	valorie	lol
21:02	althara	I'll be listening to it and hoping for the best
21:02	valorie	email him
21:02	althara	I'm looking for the address right now
21:03	cj	weekdaykuow.org ?
21:04	valorie	yes
21:04	cj	conversationkuow.org
21:04	valorie	damn it, it's over
21:04		oops, yeah
21:04	cj	facebook: conversation with ross reynolds
21:04	valorie	I wanted to announce it more timely
21:04		but busy with other stuff
21:04	cj	I tried to get RMS and Miguel to talk about Free Software i mean Open Source i mean OMGWTF a few years ago
21:04	valorie	anyway, the podcast will be available
21:05		and someone can post on the FB page too
21:07	althara	thank valorie
21:07		*thanks
21:10		I type too slow.
21:13	Salt	althara, could you make a new doodle poll with just sunday the 3rd
21:13		since that seems like the winner
21:14		i'm on the phone with chuck
21:14		and he'll be able to make that date as well
21:14	althara	cool
21:18	Salt	getting him on ir
21:18		c
21:19	althara	cool
21:20		ChuckWest joined #ubuntu-us-wa
21:20	Salt	hello chuck
21:20	althara	o/
21:20	ChuckWest	hey
21:21	Ashex	Holsa
21:22	GreySim	Howdy.
21:23	althara	5
21:24		err
21:24	valorie	hey, Chuck West!
21:24		how are things down Oly way?
21:25	ChuckWest	BRB
21:25		(off phone) Hello!
21:26		Oly is very Oly right now. It's extra Oly...
21:26	Salt	heh
21:26	althara	hehe
21:26	ChuckWest	Salt is a nice guy to talk on the phone to.
21:27		We had a great discussion.
21:27		BRB
21:27	cj	heya ChuckWest
21:27	Salt	while you fill people in on that i need to get cleaned up, brb
21:30	ChuckWest	I invited some good people just now. It may be a while.
21:30		I'll wait until salt gets back to fill you in on all the exciting news.
21:31	althara	brb
21:33	cj	http://blog.colliertech.org/planet/ubuntu-us-wa/
21:38	peanutb	Heys
21:41	cj	peanutb: rss url?
21:42	althara	back
21:43		GreySim left #ubuntu-us-wa
21:43		GreySim_ joined #ubuntu-us-wa
21:43		GreySim_ is now known as GreySim
21:44	GreySim	So, I'm on a real computer again.
21:44		Dunno if that Doodle thing still needs done now, though?
21:45	althara	Salt asked me to make a poll just for the 3rd of january
21:45		Not sure what the consensus on the polling is though
21:46	ChuckWest	That should be linked off the wiki page cj. Dah! Very busy...
21:46	peanutb	cj: http://paulbartell.com/feed/ but i dont update it much
21:46	althara	peanutb: hopefully that will change once we've got meetings and event going again. ;)
21:48		*events
21:48	peanutb	yes.. hopefully
21:49	Salt	back for a short period
21:49	ChuckWest	Social networking is an important but time consuming thing isn't it?
21:49	Salt	quite
21:49	ChuckWest	I feel back for the moment.
21:49	althara	there is a lot of technology that allows us to post a single update to multiple sources
21:50		such as identi.ca, twitter, and facebook
21:50	Salt	alright, so ChuckWest shall we go over the discussion we had?
21:50	* GreySim	uses ping.fm to post to Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace all at once. I'm sure there are others.
21:50	ChuckWest	I tried to set up a facebook account but I gave up when prompted for fist name, last name, sex.
21:51	cj	peanutb: can you create a category for topical stuff?
21:51	althara	ChuckWest: facebook pages are more suited to that, and they can have multiple admins
21:51	ChuckWest	Yeah I love mine.
21:51	althara	ChuckWest: I'm working on putting on together in my bits of spare time
21:52	ChuckWest	I love all your efforts everybody.
21:52		Is the next step to link the wiki to the IRC logs?
21:52	althara	already done
21:53	ChuckWest	Nice...
21:53		NEXT!
21:53		What is next?
21:53		TestSim joined #ubuntu-us-wa
21:53		TestSim left #ubuntu-us-wa
21:53	ChuckWest	Hey TestSim
21:54	althara	Possibly redoing the poll for the IRC meeting. People think it is too long, and I agree. Everyone who has responded thus far will be or can be available on the 3rd
21:54		So this current idea is to scrap that poll and just do one for the time that works best on Jan 3rd
21:54	Salt	althara, just transfer the people from the old poll to the new one
21:55	althara	I'll try to do that.
21:55	Salt	instead of having those ones have to redo it
21:55	ChuckWest	I was unaware until Salt told me.
21:55	Salt	i can transfer them if you'd like
21:55		just setup the poll and i'll take care of it
21:55	althara	It's set up. let me get the link
21:55	Salt	kk
21:55	althara	http://doodle.com/93i3i8ba254crxiv
21:55	* GreySim	just added the resource http://webchat.freenode.net/?c[…]nels=ubuntu-us-wa to the Project wiki page, by the way.
21:56	ChuckWest	Doodle! I just discovered that yesterday.
21:56	althara	give me a sec and I'll go update the topic and link on the Current Agenda wiki page
21:56		ChuckWest: since you are having issues with your ISP is is possible for you to use a different address to sub to the list, just to keep up with the current emails until you work out the spam filtering?
21:57	cj	is the link to the planet in the wiki?
21:57		I need more feeds for the planet
21:57	althara	cj: I haven't added it yet
21:58	cj	what's the wiki url again?
21:59	GreySim	https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WashingtonTeam
21:59	Salt	k, done
21:59	ChuckWest	I finished the poll. That was easy.

22:00	althara	excellent
22:00	valorie	off to the toy store to find the perfect Xmas gift for my grandson
22:00	ChuckWest	I have a whole hour now, amazing...
22:01	althara	valorie: good luck!
22:01	ChuckWest	Get him a Linux netbook!
22:01		An Ubuntu one.
22:01	valorie	haha!
22:01		he's 2
22:01		maybe next year
22:01	ChuckWest	Have you seen CherryPal? $99
22:02		http://www.digitaltrends.com/c[…]untries/?news=123
22:02	cj	valorie: toughbook
22:03	althara	I'm probably going to put Qimo on an old laptop for my daughter when her birthday rolls around.
22:03	ChuckWest	My boy started very you and it paid off. He started with BusyBaby.
22:03		very young that is...
22:04	althara	GreySim: verify that your time info is correct in the new poll, pls: http://doodle.com/93i3i8ba254crxiv
22:04	ChuckWest	Ubuntu Chilren's software is great for all ages.
22:04	althara	Yeah, Qimo is for 3+
22:04	cj	http://www.facebook.com/photo.[…]7820&id=521571895
22:04	althara	based on ubuntu
22:05	ChuckWest	Debian Jr. metapackage works good too.
22:05	GreySim	althara: 12 is okay too.
22:05	althara	k
22:05		GreySim: fixed, recheck pls
22:06	Ashex	bugger, I need to get my pgp keys off my desktop
22:06	GreySim	Looks good.

22:07	althara	GreySim: excellent
22:08	Ashex	Shouldn't there be a member roster on the wiki?
22:08	GreySim	I'm on the Internet! I'm famous!
22:08	althara	Ashex: member roster is being tracked in the launchpad group
22:08	Ashex	Ah, okay
22:08	althara	Or at least I think it is
22:08	GreySim	I know recent joins are tracked.
22:09		Yes: https://launchpad.net/~washing[…]e/+members#active
22:09	althara	ChuckWest: does the launchpad group force people to rejoin or confirm their membership after a certain period?
22:09		Might be a good idea to keep the member list fresh for doing the LoCo application
22:10	ChuckWest	I would not know.
22:10	Salt	i need to take off for a little bit, but i'll be back and rearing to go
22:10	ChuckWest	I doubt it. They want to build members.
22:10	GreySim	The fact that the member page I linked has an expires column but without expiration times listed, it's probably off currently.
22:10	Salt	btw, we should fixup the launchpad site
22:10		as in it should follow proper loco formatting
22:11		ChuckWest, i think you're the one with those powers but i could be mistaken
22:11	ChuckWest	I just had to sell a bike and now I need a drink.
22:11	althara	Yep. ChuckWest do you want to add me as admin and I can take care of some of that stuff ont he launchpad site?
22:11		I'm https://launchpad.net/~linda-halligan
22:11	* Salt	out
22:12	althara	o?
22:12		o/
22:12	ChuckWest	I believe anyone can edit the wiki for now until we get it where we can lock it down.
22:12	althara	ChuckWest: yes, I'm talking about the launchpad group settings
22:12		you can add other admins
22:12		Salt is now known as Salt\|afk
22:13	ChuckWest	I think Paul and Linda both have edited it before. (sorry - I don't know who is who)
22:13	althara	I'm Linda. Paul is peanutb
22:13		No one but you is the admin for the launchpad group
22:14	ChuckWest	I'm willing to delegate duties to anyone good at it.
22:14		BRB
22:15	Ashex	I'm assuming the planet blogger just grabs and saves the posts?
22:16	cj	Ashex: yep. cron runs the fetch every 5 minutes
22:16	Ashex	Okay, cool
22:17		Now that it's up I'm cleaning up the rss and posts on the wa team blog
22:17	althara	Ashex: thanks :)
22:17	ChuckWest	Stupid Question: How is the team wiki page and the launchpad related and different.
22:17	cj	the launchpad related <missing noun>
22:18	althara	the launchpad team is a group on the launchpad site which people with launchpad ids can add themselves as members of the team
22:18		The wiki is a separate thing which holds all the actuall data about our team and people need a launchpad id to edit
22:18	ChuckWest	Thanks. I never saw the introduction on that topic.
22:19	GreySim	Is the planet using planetplanet or whatever that software is that runs planet.gnome.org (among others)?
22:19	ChuckWest	brb again
22:20		Please go here and participate if you can figure out how: https://launchpad.net/~washingtonstate
22:20	* GreySim	hasn't looked at the planet site yet. Doesn't have a blog anyway. Just curious about the software.
22:20	althara	A lot of us have already added ourselves at members
22:21		*as
22:21	ChuckWest	I started it and was waiting for you folks.
22:21		Little did I know of the activity.
22:22	cj	GreySim: it's a fork of planetplanet that jdub told me to use. it's called 'venus'
22:22		GreySim: yeah, it runs planet.gnome.org
22:22	GreySim	Alright, cool.
22:22	cj	and debian
22:22		but not monologue ;)
22:22	althara	I think the way it's remommended to use the launchpad group is to keep track of the active members by having them join
22:22		I'll have to go reread the LoCo hotto docs this evening
22:23	ChuckWest	I value your opinion on this big issue: The mail list gets tons of spam and I get mail telling me I have to moderate. Should I worry I might miss mail from non-members?
22:24	althara	Yes, you may want to add other moderators so you don't have to do it all by yourself
22:24	* cj	moderates on a few other lists and is willing
22:25	Ashex	Mmkay, I added a link list to the wa team blog
22:25		If anyone wants to have a blog on that site, just let me know.
22:25	ChuckWest	I get hundreds a day, 99% garbage.
22:25	althara	I'll moderate as well
22:25	Ashex	or althara
22:25		I'll be back, getting lunch
22:26	cj	also, registration with the planet is pretty manual, so do let me know if you want to be added.
22:26	ChuckWest	Don't overwhelm yourself althara, you are moderating our new forum and adjusting the wiki already.
22:26		Love the energy
22:26	Ashex	Ay, if anyone needs help with anything just let me know
22:27	ChuckWest	cj I'll look into the process, remind me.
22:27	althara	I'm not. I assume we can moderate through the web interface for mail man. And the more people we have looking at it the less hard it is to control
22:27	cj	ChuckWest: for adding moderators to the list?
22:27	ChuckWest	I need to know how, it's easy I bet.
22:28	althara	http://www.washington.edu/comp[…]lman.addmods.html
22:28	cj	https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailm[…]dmin/ubuntu-us-wa
22:28	althara	just replace the URL with our list :)
22:28		the URL in the FAQ that is
22:29	ChuckWest	Remind me! I have to get my boy soon.
22:30		Oh yeah it's in the chat logs.
22:30	althara	yep
22:30	* cj	is getting hooked up with an @gnome.org address
22:30	cj	I feel so l33t.
22:30	ChuckWest	This is fun.
22:30	althara	cj: sweet
22:31	cj	althara: want me to gimp you up a hackergotchi?
22:31	althara	cj: OMG!!! Yes!!!!!
22:31		:D
22:31	* althara	squees
22:32	ChuckWest	I missed something (normal).
22:32	althara	ChuckWest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackergotchi
22:33	ChuckWest	http://howto.nicubunu.ro/gimp_hackergotchi/
22:35	cj	http://karma.colliertech.org/~[…]c/tmp/althara.jpg <- sokay?
22:36	althara	sure
22:36		:)
22:36	ChuckWest	Now that is a spokeswoman and the match that met our powder keg as salt said.
22:37	althara	heh
22:37	ChuckWest	No really. You were well needed.
22:37		A blessing to the group if you will.
22:37	althara	Thanks. I'm glad we're all getting involved and getting this thing going again. I'm super excited
22:38	ChuckWest	I think we all are.
22:38		But enough of that... There will be time for compliments later.
22:40	althara	yep
22:40	ChuckWest	NEXT ISSUE! I have to leave in 15 minutes.
22:41		When I get back I'll look into the mail list moderation issue.
22:41	althara	I'm coordinating with Salt\|afk to have a Brian Murry to a Bug Triaging demo at the next GSLUG meeting. It will be Jan 9th. I'd like to bill it as a Wa LoCo "event" in conjunction with GSLUG
22:42	ChuckWest	You really want to delete Viagra ads forever right cj?
22:42	althara	It'll be video'd and posted to ubuntudevelopers.blip.tv
22:42	ChuckWest	Do what the group feels is best.
22:42		I trust you.
22:42	althara	Brian Murry is the head of the Bug Squad, and a canonical employee who has volunteered to come up from Portland for this.
22:43		It should give both orgs a fair amount of exposure and hopefully attract more people to the LoCo
22:43		and GSLUG :)
22:44	ChuckWest	Well that would be good. I'm firing up the Oly troops as we speak.
22:45	althara	sweet
22:46		I've got to focus more on work so I'm going to have to go idle for a bit. I'll probably be back online this evening
22:47		evening being 7ish or later
22:47	ChuckWest	This thing is already a wildfire. It will be here later too I bet.
23:02	Ashex	Say, any way to have a post removed from the planet blog?
23:02		Doesn't look to be removing the test post
23:02	GreySim	It should update eventually...I think. How long ago was the test post deleted?
23:03	Ashex	30 minutes ago or so
23:03	GreySim	Oh, in that case, no idea. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts removed from planets before, but maybe that was manual intervention, or the content of the post being changed to blank instead of outright deleted. I don't know the software too well, really.
23:04	Ashex	Ah, okay
23:04		I'll make a post later containing the current teams status to summarize discussion on the mail list
23:04		MrZergling joined #ubuntu-us-wa
23:11		Salt\|afk is now known as Salt
23:12	MrZergling	What is the url for the blog? I can't seem to find the email
23:13		ola joined #ubuntu-us-wa
23:13	Ashex	http://www.chipnick.com/ubuntu-wa/index.php
23:13	MrZergling	ty
23:15	Ashex	sure thing :)
23:17	cj	althara: http://karma.colliertech.org/~[…]c/tmp/althara.png
23:17		althara: it's pretty good, but it could use a bit of touch-up
23:17	althara	cj: thanks!
23:18	cj	original jpg is at http://karma.colliertech.org/~[…]c/tmp/althara.jpg in case you want to grab some of the cropped bits
23:19	althara	both are saved. :)
23:19	cj	cool. I don't purge that directory often
23:23		your ccolliergnome.org email alias should be working in about an
23:23		hour from now.
23:24		althara: got a blog link I can add to the planet?
23:26	althara	nothing on it yet, but I'll be setting up a loco tag as wall as an ubuntu tag when I get around to posting: http://www.redheadgeekgirl.com/blog/feed/
23:27	cj	peanutb: do you have a hackergotchi or head I should use on the planet?
23:31		MrZergling left #ubuntu-us-wa
23:38	peanutb	cj: lemme find it
23:38		i had one a while ago
23:38		hmm perhaps i should make one
23:40		will send one later
23:40		i dont have a camera
23:41	cj	hokay
