[17:38:07]
<Maaz>
Current Topic: Precise release party suggestions
[17:38:30]
<maiatoday>
yeah what does everyone want to do?
[17:38:50]
<maiatoday>
It's a LTS so a little bit of fanfare would be cool
[17:38:59]
<kbmonkey>
lots of tequila and install discs?
[17:39:05]
<magespawn>
When is the release?
[17:39:20]
<maiatoday>
in APril but I wanted to get some ideas so long
[17:39:28]
[17:39:28]
<Maaz>
Coffee's ready for kbmonkey!
[17:39:57]
<nlsthzn>
With the momentum Canonical is creating with their TV and what not coming I think 12.04 is a very big release and should be done right
[17:40:00]
[17:40:22]
<Whizper2me>
Hola
[17:40:23]
<Kilos>
hi Whizper2me
[17:40:31]
<Kilos>
welcome
[17:40:37]
* nuvolari
whispers to Whizper2me
[17:40:48]
<nuvolari>
lo
[17:41:07]
<Whizper2me>
confluency, highvoltage , kbmonkey *tips hat*
[17:41:18]
<kbmonkey>
to be honest, I haven't been following this release as closely. Keen to support a release party though
[17:41:22]
<Whizper2me>
all the others I don't know, hallo :)
[17:41:31]
<nlsthzn>
hi Whizper2me
[17:41:35]
<maiatoday>
I know the parties are for different areas but we can start thinking about what we want to do
[17:41:37]
<maiatoday>
hi Whizper2me
[17:41:44]
<kbmonkey>
hi Whizper2me. would you like to join our irc meeting?
[17:42:18]
<magespawn>
Maybe something bigger than normal. Like they do for SFD.
[17:42:20]
<maiatoday>
I'll also make a reminder to myself to remember to order the disks this time. sorry about the previous release we missed the disks :(
[17:42:25]
<Whizper2me>
@kbmonkey the cats think your poi are toys
[17:42:59]
<maiatoday>
also there were some ideas at the previous release party in cape town to have some activities to help beginners
[17:43:00]
<Whizper2me>
Thanks for the invitation kbmonkey :)
[17:43:15]
<nlsthzn>
Where are the release parties normally held, uni's?
[17:43:17]
<maiatoday>
demos or q&a or basic talks
[17:43:20]
[17:43:24]
<kbmonkey>
lol Whizper2me :)
[17:43:38]
<maiatoday>
unis or anywhere really, I've had 2 at my house before
[17:43:42]
<Kilos>
Whizper2me, log in with maaz
[17:43:53]
<kbmonkey>
nuvolari I'll be around that side in April, we can coordinate something?
[17:43:55]
<maiatoday>
last time we were at panarottis in canal walk
[17:44:14]
<Mezenir>
i like panarottis
[17:44:18]
<Mezenir>
when the service is good
[17:44:29]
<nuvolari>
kbmonkey: sure! I still have to organize something for here in Ballito
[17:44:30]
<Kilos>
hi POpsr welcome to #ubuntu-za
[17:44:31]
<nlsthzn>
would be nice to have it someplace with maximum exposure (but then having enough stuff to satisfy the curious)
[17:44:33]
<Mezenir>
eat all you can thursday ftw
[17:44:35]
<nuvolari>
are you keen on coming here?
[17:44:46]
<POpsr>
Hi
[17:44:48]
<kbmonkey>
I'm thinking a banner, someplace for exposure like a restaurant
[17:44:58]
<maiatoday>
I wouldn't suggest panarottis for a release party again becuase the tables of 6 or 8 people made the group not mingle properly
[17:44:58]
<Mezenir>
maximum exposure like grandwest ?
[17:45:20]
<nlsthzn>
Not sure if you guys have seen some of Randall Ross's blog posts for Vancouver, they know how to party :)
[17:45:22]
<kbmonkey>
sure nuvolari!
[17:45:47]
<kbmonkey>
need to check that out nlsthzn
[17:46:30]
<magespawn>
Maybe a local pc shop or internet cafe
[17:46:51]
<nlsthzn>
They take over a whole restaurant... and with a projector beam one of those smart phone barcode thingies outside so if people scan they go to a special web site for the event that invite them in etc. :)
[17:47:15]
<magespawn>
Qrcode
[17:47:22]
<magespawn>
Sounds good
[17:47:31]
<nlsthzn>
Interestingly enough... no PC's allowed.
[17:47:57]
<nlsthzn>
my 2c worth in any case :)
[17:48:06]
<Whizper2me>
Maaz I am Christel
[17:48:06]
<Maaz>
Whizper2me: Righto
[17:48:32]
<maiatoday>
it all sounds good, anybody who wants to jump in and organise, go for it, you don't need an invite or permission ;)
[17:48:34]
<kbmonkey>
a release party without pc's? that can be dangerous
[17:48:41]
<inetpro>
Maaz: I am Gustav H Meyer
[17:48:41]
<Maaz>
inetpro: Done
[17:48:54]

welcome inetpro better late than never
[17:49:15]
<kbmonkey>
sure, I will bug nuvolari with a kzn party ;)
[17:49:28]
<maiatoday>
minimum we need is a venue and a time and an external disk with repos
[17:49:37]
<maiatoday>
it could be a blanket at the beach
[17:49:51]
<magespawn>
kbmonkey I would like to come done for that if I can

connecting to bring a newbie is have something that would interest a newbie
[17:53:23]
<nlsthzn>
nuvolari, they plan on making it a TV that will play all your content... running with Unity interface (no more boxes needed)
[17:54:13]
<kbmonkey>
JabberwockyA19 are you in?
[17:54:33]
<kbmonkey>
last time you had a great idea to show off some games at parties
[17:54:34]
<magespawn>
Like lg/smasung smart tv?
[17:55:08]
<nuvolari>
just saw the video. very appealing
[17:55:17]
<maiatoday>
hey kbmonkey I just wanted to get the discussion going about this topic, it's ok if we probably won't resolve too much now
[17:55:22]
<Mezenir>
games ?
[17:55:27]
<Mezenir>
what kind of games
[17:55:29]
<magespawn>
Maybe have a lan of open arena or the like?
[17:55:30]
<nuvolari>
I don't watch TV though, but if it can handle series, im game :P
[17:55:57]
<nuvolari>
minecraft :D
[17:56:04]
<nlsthzn>
Get a few people to play Oil Rush... it is pretty
[17:56:10]
<nlsthzn>
or minecraft, it is addictive
[17:56:10]
<nuvolari>
or counterstrike :P
[17:56:38]
<maiatoday>
and all those beautiful humble indie bundle games
[17:56:51]
<kbmonkey>
most of us can't enjoy high bandwidth luxuries like online tv :/
[17:57:05]
<kbmonkey>
love that idea maiatoday !
[17:57:24]
<maiatoday>
maaz idea have a games showcase at the release party

[17:57:46]
<kbmonkey>
I bet we can make a nice poster with game screenshots too. people love pictures.
[17:58:29]
<nlsthzn>
Oh and Unity :p
[17:59:01]
<kbmonkey>
okay should we work the details on the ML then?
[17:59:11]
<maiatoday>
yup
[17:59:58]
<kbmonkey>
wow, so many ideas in advance. I like this :)
[18:00:24]
<kbmonkey>
oh, the agenda got shuffled, we skipped the minutes review
[18:01:40]
<kbmonkey>
Maaz topic Linux Certification
[18:01:40]
<Maaz>
Current Topic: Linux Certification
[18:01:53]
<kbmonkey>
ping? still online?...
[18:02:08]
<Kilos>
ya too
[18:02:11]
<nlsthzn>
Just another link to explain Ubuntu TV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q-pTFEHLC4 check it out later ;)
[18:02:19]
<maiatoday>
I just checked the previous meeting and there isn't much to review
[18:02:05]
<Kilos>
yqa
[18:02:28]
<kbmonkey>
Revisiting our studies, who wants in?
[18:02:43]
* nlsthzn
can't re-visit ... he still has to visit :p
[18:02:47]
<kbmonkey>
thanks maiatoday!
[18:02:56]
<magespawn>
I do would like to be certified
[18:02:58]
<nlsthzn>
But I am still keen
[18:03:02]
<kbmonkey>
okay then so be it nlsthzn
[18:03:43]
<Kilos>
i will study with you
[18:03:47]
<nlsthzn>
How do you plan on doing this kbmonkey ?
[18:03:55]
<kbmonkey>
realistically I envisioned this study group would carry on autonomously,
[18:04:13]
<maiatoday>
is anybody actively in the process of becoming a LPIC
[18:04:34]
<kbmonkey>
I want to restart this in the next 2-4 weeks nlsthzn
[18:04:49]
* nlsthzn
is toying with the idea... but as it has no bearing on my work it become harder to motivate the effort and time
[18:05:19]
<nlsthzn>
I want to go for it to be more proficiant at Linux and be able to help myself more than anything else
[18:05:23]
<magespawn>
No not yet
[18:05:27]
<maiatoday>
because if you had someone who is on a mission to become certified to drive it it may help
[18:05:45]
<Mezenir>
can it really teach you anything you cant teach yourself ?
[18:05:45]
<kbmonkey>
yes
[18:06:09]
<nlsthzn>
and in a shorter time frame (plus you get feedback if you really know what it what)
[18:06:26]
<kbmonkey>
the lpic is pretty much self study Mezenir. you do get classes based on it, but yes you can teach yourself
[18:06:38]
<magespawn>
Structured learning makes more sense generally
[18:07:00]
<maiatoday>
also deadlines do wonders ...
[18:07:14]
<maiatoday>
nothing like an exam to make you cram for 2 days
[18:07:15]
<kbmonkey>
basically it is a glorified collection of linux knowledge guaranteed to make one competent
[18:07:18]
<nlsthzn>
maiatoday, +1
[18:07:26]
<kbmonkey>
++
[18:07:50]
* nlsthzn
sees a dead line is needed >.<
[18:07:53]
<kbmonkey>
okay I will mail the list into kickstart again
[18:08:32]
<maiatoday>
or maybe challenge each other to checkout an area and present to the others in irc
[18:08:32]
<Kilos>
kbmonkey, what happened to those that already joined you two
[18:08:44]
* nlsthzn
will re-energize some peeps on this side of the world to see who is in :)
[18:08:40]
<Kilos>
20 i think you said
[18:08:26]
<kbmonkey>
maaz agreed Wesley to kickstart the LPIC studies
[18:08:26]
<Maaz>
Agreed: Wesley to kickstart the LPIC studies
[18:08:55]
<kbmonkey>
nlsthzn indeed, a deadline is needed
[18:09:19]
<Whizper2me>
poke
[18:09:47]
<Whizper2me>
apologies that was going to be : poke Teepog about the LPIC Wesley, he has indicated some interest before
[18:10:00]
<Kilos>
kbmonkey, is the manual still the same
[18:10:12]
<kbmonkey>
yes it is Kilos
[18:10:24]
<Kilos>
http://www.linuxcertification.co.za/lpi-study-manual
[18:10:33]
<Kilos>
ok ian wants to join as well
[18:10:55]
<kbmonkey>
we can work out a flexible deadline, with everyone's schedules, we can perhaps setup recurring deadlines for the work
[18:11:11]
<maiatoday>
so here's a suggestion, pick a day of the week and let someone commit to preparing to present a section to the others
[18:11:22]
<maiatoday>
the others must prepare so they can ask questions.
[18:11:22]
<kbmonkey>
that way, newcomers can still meet deadlines, and the rest can revisit old stuff to stay fresh
[18:11:31]
<maiatoday>
then the baton is passed on to the next person
[18:11:39]
<nlsthzn>
Clever idea
[18:11:46]
<maiatoday>
that way everyone gets to prepare a section thoroughly
[18:11:49]
<magespawn>
+1
[18:11:57]
<inetpro>
sounds interesting
[18:12:06]
<maiatoday>
and you have free "lectures"
[18:12:07]
<kbmonkey>
well maiatoday the material is layed out, so I thought everyone works through it themselves. then we meet on irc to ask, discuss and poke another about it
[18:12:22]
<kbmonkey>
oh I like that a lot too maiatoday !
[18:12:40]
<maiatoday>
yeah I know the material is layed out but you run the risk of flippin through it and saying yeah I know that, and that
[18:12:42]
<nlsthzn>
Left to my own devices I would be better of going back to DOS
[18:12:55]
<maiatoday>
whereas if you have to sortof lecture it you really have to know it
[18:13:33]
<nlsthzn>
When you learn with the aim to teach you learn more / quicker
[18:13:36]
<inetpro>
maiatoday: where dowe get the learning material? Are there costs involved?
[18:13:45]
<kbmonkey>
just so I understand maiatoday, you say someone presents a section, like in a classroom?
[18:13:51]
<maiatoday>
and it will give structure and a deadline for one person at least and the others can hear/read an explanation instead of reading a manual
[18:13:58]
<maiatoday>
yeah kbmonkey
[18:14:05]
<nlsthzn>
inetpro, there is a free study guide...
[18:14:05]
<kbmonkey>
inetpro the book is free, a pdf online. I will email the links through on the list
[18:14:10]
<Kilos>
inetpro, http://www.linuxcertification.co.za/lpi-study-manual
[18:14:21]
<inetpro>
ahh, thanks Kilos
[18:14:26]
[18:14:30]
<Kilos>
yw
[18:14:42]
<Kilos>
lo ZereF log in to our meet
[18:14:45]
<magespawn>
I could draw up a schedule if ppl will commit to the program
[18:14:49]
<kbmonkey>
Kilos for the win
[18:15:25]
<kbmonkey>
inetpro the material suggests CentOS, however is generic enough to apply to most distros
[18:15:43]
<Mezenir>
nice of them to provide free material
[18:15:48]
<kbmonkey>
If you can magespawn, thanks!
[18:15:48]
<nlsthzn>
they do cover RPM and debs and everything in between
[18:16:32]
<kbmonkey>
what period between classes would you say? a week? every 2 weeks?
[18:16:48]
<nlsthzn>
will depend on the size, complexity
[18:16:52]
<magespawn>
How big is the manual?
[18:17:28]
<inetpro>
maiatoday: 4.2MB as far as I can see
[18:17:29]
<kbmonkey>
let me check..
[18:17:39]
<inetpro>
oops... magespawn
[18:17:55]
<maiatoday>
make it a regular meeting even if you can't cover a whole section in a meeting, so that you get into the habit of keeping going
[18:17:57]
<magespawn>
No I meant chapters etc?
[18:18:21]
<nlsthzn>
I think it is best for the interested to get the manual and then we plan?
[18:18:23]
<Kilos>
quite big magespawn
[18:18:40]
<Kilos>
lots of info from bios on
[18:18:49]
<nlsthzn>
The chapters only scratch the surface... need more info then it gives often
[18:18:57]
<kbmonkey>
I don't have the book with me, but magespawn see inside it, they even show a chart of how many 'points' each section is valued, and how much time is suggested
[18:19:09]
* inetpro
just downloaded it
[18:19:17]
<inetpro>
329 pages
[18:19:41]
<magespawn>
I'll have a look at the manual and get an educator friend of mine to draw up class material and such
[18:19:46]
<kbmonkey>
magespawn can we then chat about some schedule via mail then
[18:19:54]
<magespawn>
For sure
[18:20:00]
<kbmonkey>
awesome :)
[18:20:22]
<kbmonkey>
Maaz agreed magespawn to help setup a LPIC Q&A IRC schdule
[18:20:22]
<Maaz>
Agreed: magespawn to help setup a LPIC Q&A IRC schdule
[18:20:50]
<kbmonkey>
I propose we skip the beginning sections on BIOS and legacy hardware
[18:21:03]
<inetpro>
just keep me us updated on here as well... I tend to ignore emails
[18:21:22]
<kbmonkey>
it may be required, but daunting for newbies. get them stuck and interested in the juice bits, then revisit the technicals.
[18:21:35]
<kbmonkey>
sure inetpro
[18:21:41]
<magespawn>
Will do maybe set up a page or something.
[18:22:00]
<kbmonkey>
to that end, I'd risk saying I want to catch up with IRC meets and try for more a month :/
[18:22:30]
<Kilos>
yay kbmonkey about time
[18:22:36]
<Kilos>
been lonely here
[18:22:40]
<kbmonkey>
right, I'm glad to still see interest!
[18:22:47]
* kbmonkey
big smiles
[18:23:06]
* Kilos
missed the weenie
[18:23:07]
<inetpro>
kbmonkey: you mean like more than one meeting a month?
[18:23:35]
<kbmonkey>
yes inetpro, irc meets.

<Kilos>
lpi meets should be one a week
[18:23:58]
<kbmonkey>
the lpi meets still need to be scheduled out
[18:24:00]
<inetpro>
hmm... I guess we should try it
[18:24:44]
<kbmonkey>
or like mini-meets. like hi/bye action grenade meets
[18:24:46]
* inetpro
will definitely not be able to attend them all
[18:25:17]
<Kilos>
inetpro, you can read logs
[18:25:35]
<inetpro>
Kilos: I like the idea
[18:25:42]
<kbmonkey>
not required to attend all, just to make regular attempts is the idea :)
[18:25:53]
<Kilos>
most of the course you will understand anyway
[18:26:03]
<kbmonkey>
magespawn fyi we could try use the ubuntu-za wiki for our schedule
[18:26:11]
<kbmonkey>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/

<Kilos>
grr no fool
[18:28:21]
<maiatoday>
kbmonkey do you think we need to check previous minutes?
[18:28:28]
<kbmonkey>
collating this topic ideas in my head..
[18:28:39]
<maiatoday>
we sortof covered everything in there already
[18:28:59]
<kbmonkey>
maiatoday I did and apart from previous release party feedback it seems all covered here in some form
[18:29:07]
<kbmonkey>
snap
[18:29:23]
<maiatoday>
I agree, just the ubuntu hour but that's no biggie
[18:29:33]
<kbmonkey>
okay next...
[18:29:50]
<kbmonkey>
Maaz topic Wiki updates
[18:29:50]
<Maaz>
Current Topic: Wiki updates
[18:30:26]
<maiatoday>
hmm we haven't done any inages
[18:30:29]
<maiatoday>
in ages
[18:30:30]
<kbmonkey>
Unsure what this one entails, magespawn you know?
[18:30:37]
<maiatoday>
we should do a monthly report on the wiki
[18:30:44]
<kbmonkey>
what updates?
[18:30:57]
<maiatoday>
the monthly reports are due the first sunday of the month
[18:31:06]
<kbmonkey>
oooh
[18:31:15]
<maiatoday>
I am assuming that's what magespawn meant with the agenda item
[18:31:27]
<magespawn>
maiatoday asked me to help with that but did not see anything to add. Unsure of what to add.
[18:31:46]
<maiatoday>
we need to list what we do each month on a wiki page
[18:31:47]
<inetpro>
magespawn: I guess we can get more organised again
[18:31:59]
<maiatoday>
but if we don't do anything there is nothing to say :(
[18:32:03]
<kbmonkey>
there was a report in October
[18:32:09]
<maiatoday>
so for this month we have an irc meeting at least
[18:32:10]
<magespawn>
Maybe ppl could mail the list or me directly with things to be included
[18:32:25]
<maiatoday>
ok that sounds good
[18:32:40]
<kbmonkey>
there must be an easier way to post/remember team reports
[18:32:41]
<inetpro>
like updating meeting pages https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings
[18:33:10]
<maiatoday>
if I remember I usually ask on the list for events but I think the list mails aren't read that regularly
[18:33:41]
<inetpro>
see sub-pages at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam
[18:33:44]
<magespawn>
I will also ask for things on the list to jog ppls memory
[18:33:55]
<kbmonkey>
there's a report for December for a meeting.
[18:34:08]
<maiatoday>
everyone can add on the wiki so really when something happens we could add to the list
[18:34:25]
<maiatoday>
then magespawn can just check if it's all there round deadline time
[18:34:44]
<Kilos>
can we make an appeal to list members to visit here as well?
[18:35:09]
<Kilos>
there are many good brains there that dont come here
[18:35:11]
<maiatoday>
dunno Kilos people either go on irc or not, and we always invite people on the list to come to irc for the meeting
[18:35:25]
<kbmonkey>
so January Team Report is due first Sunday of Feb.
[18:35:25]
<Kilos>
ah ty maiatoday
[18:35:34]
<maiatoday>
yeah
[18:35:38]
<inetpro>
if we keep going and stay organised people will come automatically
[18:35:48]
<magespawn>
Maybe change the topic regularly for the meetings on orc
[18:36:12]
<kbmonkey>
True Kilos. I try suggest the web chat to make it easier. maybe they are shy?
[18:36:16]
<maiatoday>
I hope to have more time this year for ubuntu too
[18:36:17]
<Kilos>
