[Lubuntu-desktop] Resignation

[Zach Kriesse]

Hello all, now I know that I've kinda sent an email like this before but 
the time has come for me to say goodbye. Recent events have occurred 
where I simply do not have the time to contribute nor the desire to 
"act" like I am...because that's really just lying to not only my fellow 
team-mates but also myself. I will leave the Doc FG for the BT to the 
council, and I will decide on a lead for Ubuntu Youth...I'm sorry but I 
need to really just work on getting back in school, finding a job, and 
starting a career for myself. I simply do not have the time to do 
anything else. It was nice to know all of you, it's been fun and 
awesome. Farwell

Hiyas Julien,

well it had to eventually happen... we had a troll on the channels. 
He's been kickbanned (I got a load of abuse in PM over it and have 
been in touch with freenode over the incident) One of the outcomes was 
the ubunu irc council getting in touch with me. To make this long chat 
as short as possible I've only included a couple of lines


(14:39:14) jussi: anyway, so you are happy with the Ubuntu IRC Council 
lodging a request with freenode that you are included in the 
#k/x/ubuntu group?
(14:40:07) phillw: I am, and also have authorisation from our head of 
dev to authorise such things.

(14:40:43) phillw: you guys already have access to both areas.
(14:40:43) jussi: ok, excellent. If we have any other issues, we will 
come grab you :)


I trust that meets with your approval. I see it as yet another step to 
full adoption..

Phill.

This is AWESOME Not the troll thing but the part about the Ubuntu 
IRC Guys adding us to the #k/x/ubuntu namespace!!! This is a HUGE step 
forward in getting Lubuntu added in with the Ubuntu family...way to go

Many, many thanks.

Hiyas Lubuntueers,

can you go and proof read all of 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation and let us 
know if there are any bits not working. Then we can set up the auto 
divert from the old area and 'comply' with the documentation rules for 
help pages.


Regards,

Phill.

I have just had a quick look over it all and from what I can tell Zach
has done a great job. I had a couple of links I fixed up (which I
think I originally changed incorrectly) and I have fixed up the
"Contact Us" link in the header so it points to the wiki contact us. I
did look into making a separate help.ubuntu contact us page but then
the sublinks and things got a bit messy.

Please double and triple check it all and great work Zach.

I'll certainly look it all over just one more time Jared, and thanks for 
the compliment Phill, you know it's not needed. It is my pleasure to 
work with you guys and I'm honored by the way you do things. Let's 
continue shall we?

Hiyas gang,

I've taken the liberty of adding stlsaint (one of the Ubuntu 
Beginners Team mentors) and AndrewMC (A council member of 
ubuntu-youth) as ops on our two channels. (We had a troll in earlier).


I know them both, they are excellent people and willing to help.

If anyone has an issue with my doing so, please let me know.

Regards,

Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Finding Lubuntu-related information

[Zach Kriesse]

 On 10/6/2010 4:55 PM, Mikhail Maksimov wrote:

Hi, list.

I always have trouble finding some vital information regarding 
Lubuntu. Maybe it's just me, but it takes definitely more than a 
couple of mouseclicks to find out, e.g., the status of latest testing 
iso, its version, release date, download location, etc. Also, I've 
seen a link to IRC logs somewhere, but cannot find it again, and 
googling for "lubuntu irc log" does not show the required item on the 
first page, you really have to know that there's one site for 
publishing logs for all ubuntu-related channels, and search for 
_ubuntu_ irc logs, then navigate to the selected date and channel 
manually...


IMHO such "small navigation problems" may cause newcomers to not 
actively join the team. It may even happen that a would-be tester not 
do any actual good just because he/she does not find the latest beta! 
I've just updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing with minimal 
info regarding beta2, however I believe it can be further elaborated. 
And probably beta1-related part should be removed. Huh, and 
probably the news section of lubuntu.net <http://lubuntu.net> can also 
be updated with beta2 info.


I'm not really good at writing human-readable texts, and I just don't 
have any more time at the moment. Is anyone willing to add more 
updates to lubuntu sites?


Regards!
Mikhail

PS Are the command to md5sum the CD and the checksum on 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing> correct for beta2? Please 
double-check.

Hiyas gang 

Before I start this long email, I wish to put on record my gratitude 
to Nathan (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/nhandler) who along with others 
does the 'behind the scenes' stuff generally and helps me and the 
project so much. (hints to Julien to put a testimonial application on 
his wiki page).


_*IRC channel spammers and trolls*_

If there is a 'troll' in the room, the simple rule is "Do Not Feed The 
Trolls", totally ignore them, carry on your conversation, they will 
get bored and leave.


If the room is attacked by a spammer  / troll who is disrupting, then 
you need to issue the command


!ops

Issuing

!ops | SoAndSo is spamming

or

!ops | SoAndSo is trolling


does help the IRC Op's to know what it is they are walking into.

I cannot stress highly enough that

Remind them that when they do that, a notice will show up in
#ubuntu-irc . So abuse will really annoy some members of the
community (as well as OPs who get hiighted)


The !ops command is to be used as a last resort, else we will lose 
people from the community who will come on and moderate / ban them if 
it used without good reason. Misuse could well result you in being 
banned at the IP address level from all the IRC freenode chat areas 
and a lot of forums.



_*IRC Logging*_


Nathan has also given me contact details to go and 'nag' for the 
logging bot, which I will be doing tomorrow.


*_Factoids_*
*_
_*
With the introduction of ubot5, you can issue commands such as !grub2 
in the channel which will point someone to where to get detailed 
information, if you come across the same request / question being 
asked often, will you let me know and I'll put it forward to be a 
factoid. (Adds pcmanfm to the list of requests). Whilst we are still a 
young project, such documentation links are really useful for the "I 
recall that, but don't know how to do it moments".


*_Documentation_*

If any of you have any "how to's" but are concerned that they do not 
meet 'official' standards on how documents / help areas are written or 
formatted, please forward them to me. We will gladly 'tidy' them up so 
others may benefit. I'm currently investigating what is required for 
11.04 and will keep you all updated.



Gee, you actually read this far :-)

Regards,

Phill.

Hi Julien,

if we get a logging bot, the channel will be logged at all times.

The logs would be searchable, like searching #ubuntu-beginners, their
continuous log is held at, for an example,
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/07/15/>>
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/07/15/%23ubuntu-beginners.txt  That would
give the availability to search through the logs. Not something an 'average'
user would do, but would mean the whole of conversations are archived and
searchable for those giving support when they have a "I've seen that before,
but do not fully recall all that is needed" question.

Phill.

Would you like to me to proceed to ask if we may have the channel

that is not possible I can ask Alan (the creator of the meetingology
one) for suggestions.

Why not :) I have a couple of questions : Is the chan will be logged all
the time ? Or only during meeting ? Are the logs stored somewhere ?

Thanks.
