[18:36:11] <chesedo> - Deep Learning Indaba: 11-15 September 2017 (Johannesburg) -> http://www.deeplearningindaba.com/

[18:36:50] <superfly> chesedo: ack
[18:37:01] <chesedo> Is anyone organising anything else or knows of any other upcoming events?
[18:37:42] <paddatrapper> pyconZA is first week of October, still a while
[18:38:15] <chesedo> paddatrapper: the same one as here -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/UpcomingEvents
[18:38:23] <chesedo> *?
[18:38:40] 
[18:38:43] <paddatrapper> chesedo: that's the one
[18:38:50] * chesedo have been forgotting to update that too
[18:38:58] <chesedo> paddatrapper: awesome
[18:39:06] <chesedo> Maaz: agreed No other events to add
[18:39:06] <Maaz> Agreed: No other events to add
[18:39:12] <chesedo> Maaz: topic Miscellaneous
[18:39:12] <Maaz> Current Topic: Miscellaneous
[18:39:16] <chesedo> superfly: syn
[18:40:15] <chesedo> i have not taken another look at the ubuntu edu project since exams
[18:40:45] <superfly> Right, so I'm on the other side of the world now, and it makes it difficult to co-ordinate with people, so I'm looking for volunteers to take over the website.
[18:40:49] <chesedo> nor know of any Ubuntu-for-Hope updates
[18:41:11] <chesedo> superfly: were is it currently at?
[18:41:19] <chesedo> hardware wise?
[18:41:36] <inetpro> I don't think there's a need to rush into moving the site
[18:42:13] <inetpro> unless someone is willing to host and maintain it for us for free
[18:42:34] <Kilos> take over as in maintain or move superfly 
[18:42:46] <chesedo> at least it is static - so light weight...
[18:43:52] <superfly> Kilos: maintain it
[18:44:02] <Kilos> there you go inetpro 
[18:44:07] <Kilos> ty superfly
[18:44:20] <chesedo> superfly: that would be just the bazaar branch right?
[18:44:39] <superfly> chesedo: it's currently hosted on a box at FrogFoot because it's the same box that hosts the CLUG website. tumbleweed organised it all.
[18:45:45] <chesedo> superfly: what does maintain currently involve?
[18:45:55] <superfly> chesedo: essentially yes. but sorting out hosting would probably also be good (I don't mind hosting it on a VPS of mine), and getting some sort of "control" over the domain name itself (Canonical I think owns the domain name and controls the DNS, so we'd need to talk to them if we move the hosting)
[18:45:58] <chesedo> copying over changes to the box?
[18:46:13] <superfly> chesedo: checking merge proposals on LP, deploying to the box
[18:46:28] <superfly> making sure information on the site is up to date, etc
[18:46:42] <chesedo> paddatrapper and inetpro: you game?
[18:46:50] <paddatrapper> can that deploy not be automated using a webhook to something?
[18:46:54] * chesedo can be one of the volunteers too
[18:46:55] <paddatrapper> chesedo: Not currently, sorry
[18:47:32] <chesedo> paddatrapper: np
[18:47:43] <inetpro> chesedo: between you and me I'm sure we can handle it
[18:47:59] <chesedo> superfly: pro and i are it :D
[18:48:11] <Kilos> cool 
[18:48:40] <Kilos> ty superfly for looking after us for so long
[18:48:53] <chesedo> yip, ty superfly
[18:49:24] <superfly> I'm happy to still be around, I just don't have the time to spend on the site (and I'm in the wrong timezone)
[18:50:27] <chesedo> then last misc, the mini meetings have also gone stale... did you guys find it helpful/interesting?
[18:51:05] <chesedo> superfly: we don't keep doom in the chan so that you can stay around :P
[18:51:25] <Kilos> superdoom isnt strong enough
