07:36:01 <Guest90528> jwildeboer: Especially the way internet access is organised deserves a blog post of its own …
07:36:05 <Guest90528> lol!!

07:39:35 <kruben> jwildeboer: I had a telephonic meeting this morning with an ex-school-teacher who nows works as an IT Lecturer at Stellenbosch University. I got him all excited about the POSSESA and some of the things we spoke about yesterday morning. But more importantly, he's helping me meet the person in charge of IT at Schools in SA. You mentioned a case study (Europe/Germany?) of how Linux and Microsoft OS was set up on virtually.. Ple
07:40:58 <jwildeboer> kruben: yep, the University of Groningen.
07:41:08 <jwildeboer> Can give you PDF of presentation on that.
07:43:17 <Guest90528> jwildeboer: i need to file the bugs now.
07:44:06 <jwildeboer> Guest90528: with the command /nick you can change your nickname ...
07:44:42 <kruben> jwildeboer: please do.. Email: naidook@cput.ac.za This is very exciting if I can make some headway with schools and whats taught. Will certainly help with the "quality" of students we attract. At the moment, we're not getting that good students and Lecturers attribute it to whats happening in schools.

07:46:09 <micadeyeye> i didn't know i was the guest.

08:09:41 <liknus> Good morning everyone :)
08:10:11 <liknus> I created a ticket for creating an Afrikaans mailing list
08:10:18 <liknus> .ticket 2419
08:10:20 <zodbot> liknus: #2419 (Create mailing list for Afrikaans translations) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2419
08:16:37 <kruben> jwilderboer: Thanks Jan.. Please dont forget to send me the contact info for "that crazy guy you know".. :-)
08:17:00 <jwildeboer> kruben: Contact Details of the crazy guy are in the presentation ;-)
08:17:20 <liknus> kruben, be cautious with the "crazy guys" of jwildeboer
08:17:34 <micadeyeye> just created the rpms.
08:17:52 <liknus> micadeyeye, well done!
08:17:58 <liknus> how it seemed?
08:18:11 <micadeyeye> easy.
08:18:16 <liknus> can you upload the .spec in a pastebin to see it?
08:18:20 <micadeyeye> i also do so on ff.
08:22:08 <micadeyeye> bash: rpmlint: command not found
08:22:29 <liknus> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist
08:22:29 <micadeyeye> i think i need to install it.
08:25:11 <liknus> micadeyeye, it should be there with the initial yum install stuff you did :)
08:26:32 <micadeyeye> this command won't work - rpmlint hello.spec ../SRPMS/hello* ../RPMS/*/hello*
08:29:23 <kruben> liknus: will do :-)
08:29:51 <liknus> micadeyeye, what's its output?
08:30:42 <micadeyeye> liknus: the output is "bash: rpmlint: command not found
08:33:49 <kruben> http://piratepad.net/interpol
08:37:02 * mchua reads up
08:37:02 <jwildeboer> micadeyeye: yum search rpmlint
08:37:21 <mchua> boniface, kruben: can you guys get tayo on IRC, and get her to paste the link to her document in this channel?
08:37:41 <liknus> thank jwildeboer for pointing out :)
08:37:57 <jwildeboer> I have edited, cleaned up, reformatted our whiteboard. Feel free to download and re-use!

08:38:15 <boniface> http://piratepad.net/docs
08:38:43 <mchua> jwildeboer: You rock, dude. I'll throw up a pad for that article.
08:38:58 <mchua> boniface: thanks! can you get tayo on irc?
08:39:05 <mchua> #link http://piratepad.net/interpol
08:39:13 <mchua> #link http://piratepad.net/docs
08:39:21 <mchua> #note Etherpad is a vital collaboration tool for POSSE.
08:39:34 <mchua> #note We need a better way to have notifications come up on the screen, for IRC.

08:40:42 <mchua> jwildeboer: ^
08:41:21 <micadeyeye> mchua: have got tayo online.
08:41:40 <liknus> hey tayo :)
08:45:51 <tayo> Tayo: hi
08:46:13 <mchua> Hey tayo, welcome back to IRC :)
08:47:06 <mchua> you can ask questions here if you need any help, or if you're feeling lost at any point - but your main focus should be on doing what you need to do, and asking questions that you need to ask, so you can write up that document describing what boniface and kruben are doing right now.
08:47:22 <kruben> http://kenai.com
08:47:25 <mchua> welcome back micadeyeye :) how's it going? filed bugs? Jan will be back from his smoke soon, you should grab him for bugzilla in the next few minutes ;)
08:47:39 <mchua> It's literally one of those things that takes no time at all once you know how, so I'd get him to unblock you on that asap.
08:48:45 <micadeyeye> mchua: thanks. i am just being lazy. i could do it. i want him to work me through it.
08:48:58 <micadeyeye> but i want ..
08:49:21 <mchua> micadeyeye: laziness is good, but you're actually working harder this way ;)
08:49:30 <mchua> micadeyeye: so - release early/often, ask forgiveness and not permission, right?
08:49:41 <mchua> micadeyeye: make a ticket, guess as to the right fields for it... we *can* change the fields later
08:49:42 <liknus> yeah! mchua :)
08:49:50 <mchua> micadeyeye: and then go and say "hey, Jan, I filed this, did I get the fields right?"
08:49:57 <mchua> much faster, less blocking on jwildeboer ;)
08:50:06 <liknus> thats the spirit!
08:50:06 <micadeyeye> yes.
08:50:11 <mchua> well then. :)
08:50:12 <micadeyeye> 3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.
08:50:20 <mchua> Ooo.
08:50:22 <mchua> Nice.
08:50:25 <liknus> awesome :)
08:50:36 <micadeyeye> am trying to kill two birds with a stone.
08:50:37 <liknus> you have a charisma on that :)
08:50:53 <liknus> Do you picked a project from the list?
08:50:54 <micadeyeye> i want to build an asterisk gui.
08:51:39 <liknus> Aha .. I saw it :)
08:51:42 <liknus> I think it would be ok
08:51:53 <liknus> want any help on that micadeyeye ?
08:52:15 <liknus> Very careful with the depends on that
08:54:35 <micadeyeye> okay, let me give it a shot.
09:01:49 * mchua wonders how michaelgraaf is doing
09:03:10 <kruben> liknus: what would you use to map a project - scope outline?
09:04:15 <mchua> Grant returns!
09:05:38 <liknus> kruben, inkscape :)
09:07:32 * mchua goes to see how michaelgraaf is doing
09:10:02 <mchua> Looks like michaelgraaf is deeply involved in conversation with his colleague. :)
09:12:16 <gruntus> I've been relegated to spam by liknus
09:13:02 <mchua> gruntus: you're not spam!
09:13:24 <jwildeboer> micadeyeye: Coming. Are you logged in to Bugzilla already?
09:13:34 <mchua> gruntus: also, one thing that would be good to hear about - I think for everyone, when we have discussion/reflection time (right before lunch today, so about 11:40) is what it was like being remote.
09:14:09 <gruntus> ok will give a shpeel
09:15:44 <kruben> liknus: you mean www.inkscape.org right?
09:20:31 <mchua> kruben: Yep, you should also be able to yum install or apt-get install inkscape packages on almost any linux distro.
09:20:35 <mchua> they also have a windows installer.
09:20:39 <mchua> (at inkscape.org)
09:25:20 <micadeyeye> jwildeboer: will start shortly
09:27:04 <mchua> We'll come back together to check in on status in 15 minutes.
09:27:06 <mchua> tayo: how are you doing?
09:28:09 <tayo> I am doing fine
09:28:41 <tayo> mchua:fine
09:29:44 <mchua> tayo: you should write more notes in the document :) things you're finding out, questions you have... we need to be able to see what you're doing, in able to help you.
09:29:48 <mchua> er, "to be able to help you."
09:35:46 * mchua looks around, teams seems to be doing pretty well
09:35:57 <mchua> michaelgraaf is editing his project wiki, so that's great
09:36:06 <mchua> boniface, tayo, and kruben are in discussion about their project
09:36:22 <gruntus> .fasinfo gruntus

09:36:27 <zodbot> gruntus: Approved Groups: cla_done cla_fedora
09:36:38 <mchua> tayo: how can we help you follow the discussion more? I notice you're not writing in the document, and the guys are mostly working by themselves now.
09:37:37 <tayo> mchua: It seems I am observer in this project
09:38:57 <mchua> tayo: That's okay. :) Just write down what you're observing - documenting your impressions, especially as a new person, is *really* valuable.
09:39:34 <mchua> the "what is the process?" notes you're taking, in the piratepad/etherpad document - the audience is going to be people who are in your shoes right now, people who are completely new to this.
09:39:58 <mchua> So it's a good thing to be starting from where you are, and writing down the questions you have, because other people will have them too.

09:45:15 <gruntus> Cool!
09:45:39 <tayo> Mchua:I am trying to create issues for the tracking
09:46:17 <mchua> tayo: How's that going?
09:46:29 <mchua> tayo: Actually, it's time for all of us to pause now and do pre-lunch status checks.
09:46:49 <mchua> tayo: So that should be yours, along with questions you have now :)
09:46:53 <mchua> hang on, I'll get everyone back together.
09:46:58 <liknus> Wow :) gruntus just submitted his first translation!
09:47:29 <gruntus> It felt good guys!

13:16:11 <micadeyeye> someone needs to put touches on them though.
13:16:16 <micadeyeye> some**
13:21:44 <micadeyeye> Hey, Stefano is joining us at the dinner.
13:23:23 <mchua> michaelgraaf: Awesome!
13:24:03 <mchua> er, micadeyeye  (sorry)
13:42:30 <jwildeboer> michaelgraaf: this is what my good friend Georg Zoche from Transnational Republics has to say - I guess you will like eachother http://weltmachtgeld.tnparty.eu/index.php/WORLD-POWER-MONEY
13:42:52 <michaelgraaf> jwildeboer: thanks
13:44:56 <kevix> jwildeboer: Transnational Republic? that is a socienty that create 'real looking' ID.
13:45:41 <jwildeboer> kevix: yep - http://www.utnr.org
13:45:47 <kevix> jwildeboer: http://madduck.net/blog/2006.05.24:tr-id-at-keysigning/
13:45:53 <jwildeboer> And they are real IDs :-)
13:46:12 <michaelgraaf> jwildeboer: I recently saw some stuff about how the sub-prime market is still capable of another bubble-burst, as many US and other banks still hold a lot of worthess paper based on defaulted real estate
13:47:33 <jwildeboer> michaelgraaf: Yep, the real question is if this is a bubble economy or an economy of bubbles ...
13:48:06 <michaelgraaf> and next time it won't be so easy to organise the bail-out...
13:49:34 <jwildeboer> kevix: but our ID is as official as any other national ID. I regularly check in to hotels and planes with my TR ID.
13:50:21 <jwildeboer> michaelgraaf: ultimately true stability can only be reached with transparency and trust. The current system lacks both ...
13:50:35 <kevix> jwildeboer: really???? I'd love to know how they react to it (or why they dont)
13:51:38 <kevix> any person (bo

14:18:55 * kevix will enjoy a virtual beer
14:20:58 <mchua_afk> Everyone should have a public-facing deliverable.
14:20:58 <mchua_afk> And blog about it.
14:21:00 <mchua_afk> And tomorrow, come in ready to talk about how you're going to make the picture on that whiteboard happen.
