18:08:54 <zoglesby> I am here to help if anyone needs it, but I am not working on anything right now
18:38:17 <randomuser> hey zoglesby
18:38:48 <zoglesby> hola
18:38:52 <randomuser> i got distracted, lost track of time
18:39:54 <zoglesby> well, its good to have you here
18:40:09 <zoglesby> Welcome to the docs team
18:40:13 <zoglesby> do you need any help?
18:40:18 <randomuser> thanks
18:40:22 <randomuser> yeah, what do I do?
18:40:31 <zoglesby> Stuff
18:40:37 <randomuser> cool
18:42:02 * zoglesby is going to go  back to indeed.com
18:42:15 <zoglesby> I am still here, but also not
18:42:20 <randomuser> I want to write something about how to boot directly into a fullscreen virtualbox session of a windows guest
18:42:30 <randomuser> since I don't actually like Fedora
18:42:34 <randomuser> what do I do?
18:42:42 <mpduty> hi randomuser
18:42:47 * randomuser snickers
18:42:48 <zoglesby> randomuser: Install Lindows
18:42:51 <randomuser> hey mpduty
18:43:13 <mpduty> randomuser, is there any group like docs-apprentice :)
18:44:23 <randomuser> mpduty, no, we don't have an apprentice FAS group. There's not really anything for it to *do*, other than signify participation in some sort of apprenticeship intent
18:45:08 <randomuser> we could conceivably add such a group, but IMO the number of participants doesn't justify the extra work
18:46:03 <mpduty> well for people like me who are only just learning, that would be a fit place
18:47:25 <zoglesby> mpduty: I think the main docs group is the correct group for that
18:47:55 <zoglesby> it has no commit access to any repos but says that you are interested
18:48:05 <randomuser> mpduty, I could sponsor you into the 'docs' group - it gives you permissions on fedorapeople.org/srv/groups/docs to share things, and shows participation
18:48:35 <randomuser> yeah, what he said
18:48:46 <mpduty> thank you randomuser
18:49:05 <zoglesby> and what he said :)
18:50:16 <randomuser> I don't like to sponsor people too freely, because a lot of folks express an interest but never really do anything
18:50:21 <randomuser> but I think you're past that point
18:50:51 * mpduty is very happy at the remark
18:51:25 <mpduty> I shall try to learn fast

18:52:20 <randomuser> mpduty, Am I remembering correctly that you were going to talk to schools in your region about using Fedora?
18:52:30 <mpduty> yes
18:52:46 <randomuser> How is your progress?
18:52:58 <mpduty> I have visited three schools so far
18:53:13 <mpduty> and they are using Fedora in their computer labs
18:54:02 <mpduty> however my mentor says that I should involve myself in other sub projects of Fedora
18:54:17 <randomuser> they were already using it, or you convinced them to?
18:54:37 <mpduty> No, I convinced them to
18:54:47 <mpduty> They were using Windows earlier
18:55:09 <mpduty> Not all of their machines have Fedora, but at least few of them do
18:55:18 <randomuser> wow, that's awesome
18:55:40 <randomuser> are you staying in contact with them? any reported concerns or requests?
18:56:36 <mpduty> They have asked help regarding using multimedia, and some other things that doesn't ship with fedora
18:57:11 <mpduty> I visit them whenever they call me
18:58:19 <randomuser> I've always thought it would be neat to have a curriculum package for schools
18:58:38 <randomuser> a book for a short course, tests, assignments, etc
18:58:48 <randomuser> lnovich, what do you think?
18:58:52 <mpduty> My mentor tells me to work on other Fedora sub projects and so I got more busy with fedora-apps and a little with Fedora-docs
19:00:11 <mpduty> randomuser, that would be very good, a school curriculum on Linux featuring Fedora
19:00:14 <randomuser> yeah, you get a much better perspective if you at least follow other groups
19:00:49 <mpduty> I have really enjoyed meeting wonderful people out here
19:01:04 <mpduty> And learnt quite a lot in a short time
19:06:38 <mpduty> bye randomuser, meet you later
19:06:50 * randomuser waves
19:06:57 <mpduty> thanks for sponsoring me :)
19:07:44 <Capesteve> sponsoring? Did someone mention sponsoring?
19:15:10 <randomuser> Capesteve, mpduty has joined us in the 'docs' group
19:15:20 <randomuser> I haven't told him about the initiation rites yet
19:16:24 <Capesteve> ahh, I see, for a moment was taken back to my youth, knocking on doors for  Scout week, bob-a-job, clean garden or cars etc.
19:16:42 <Capesteve> we also had to do "big walks" once a year to raise money
19:17:13 <Capesteve> sponsored at 1 or 2 cents a mile, 5 if lucky
19:17:47 <Capesteve> I am looking for someone to sponsor me as my little fingers dart hither and thither around this huuuuge keyboard. Its tiring work, and needs a reward.
19:17:47 <zoglesby> I am ending the meeting
