[01:18] <head_victim> jaddi27_: well we're finally getting a move on with the new membership board stuff, just so you know your app has been moved to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards for now. We're working on setting times and dates for meetings. When they're agreed upon I'll let you konw and feel free to pick whichever suits best.
[02:53] <jaddi27_> head_victim, Thanks for letting me know. I will keep an eye out for the changes
[06:39] <jaddi27_> hi sagaci
[06:39] <sagaci> jaddi27_, ping
[06:39] <jaddi27_> Sorry I missed you message the other night - I got it, but when I went to reply my wireless dropped out, and I didn't bother to restart the computer to fix it
[06:40] <sagaci> fair enough, are you around for a bit?
[06:40] <jaddi27_> Yep, I can be
[06:40] <sagaci> I wanted to test out a g+ hangout
[06:40] <jaddi27_> I can do that with you fairly soon, if you would like
[06:43] <sagaci> yep no worries, just making sure my yeti will work
[06:47] <jaddi27_> sure
[06:54] <sagaci> jaddi27_, invited
[06:55] <jaddi27_> sagaci, Just saw that. I will set up my computer
[06:56] <sagaci> righteo, looks like it's a hell of a lot better than when it was first launched
[07:02] <jaddi27_> sagaci, so this is a test public hangout?
[07:03] <sagaci> yup
[07:03] <jaddi27_> ok. i don't have a camera on this computer, but voice can still be checked
[07:05] <sagaci> whups
[07:06] <jaddi27_> looks like you left
[07:06] <sagaci> yep, stop broadcast ends the whole thing
[07:06] <sagaci> https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xFK-r0DzUS4
[07:06] <jaddi27_> oh, wouldn't have expected that
[07:07] <jaddi27_> still processing video, but will wait for it to finish
[07:07] <sagaci> done
[07:08] <sagaci> leul
[07:29] <sagaci> doneskies
[07:30] <jaddi27_> head_victim, When you are around, I have a couple of youtube questions for you
[08:35] <head_victim> jaddi27_: feel free to ask away :)
[08:35] <head_victim> I'm in and out a bit but can still answer when I walk past
[10:25] <head_victim> Ok, so irc'ing via an ipv6 tunnel broker isn't overly stable :/
[11:15] <Liinda> hey
[11:18] <head_victim> Hello
[11:40] <Liinda> oh wow ppl do talk in here
[11:41] <head_victim> Occasionally.
[11:41] <Liinda> Ahh. I didnt even know freenode existed
[11:41] <head_victim> I ditched most networks for freenode, it's where all the cool kids hang out.
[11:42] <Liinda> I'm on austnet atm
[11:42] <Liinda> irc
[11:42] <head_victim> My sympathies.
[11:42] <Liinda> haha thanks
[11:42] <Liinda> so, stupid question, is this accesible via an irc client though? or just via the weblink
[11:43] <sagaci> yes, the former
[11:43] <head_victim> Both and many other ways as well
[11:43] <sagaci> I use chatzilla standalone on windows and xchat on ubuntu
[11:43] <sagaci> many other clients out there
[11:44] <elky> most clients will have freenode preconfigured, nearly all irc clients on ubuntu will have a clone of freenode which is labelled as ubuntu
[11:45] <elky> (disclaimer: not exactly a clone, it points to irc.ubuntu.com which just redirects to freenode. done this way so if freenode disappears, they can point the irc domain somewhere else)
[11:50] <Liinda> ahhh opkay cool cool
[11:50] <Liinda> thanks guys :)
[11:50] <Liinda> *okay
[12:09] <Liinda> goodnight x
[12:28] <jaddi27_> head_victim, How is the youtube account set up? it is linked in with the mailing list?
[12:28] <head_victim> Currently it's just a stand alone account for the team
[12:35] <jaddi27_> Ok. I would like to try and link it to the google+ page, but haven't looked into it properly yet
[12:36] <head_victim> Ah ok, feel free. I have no idea how it works but as long as it's not too spammy go for it (I'd imagine whenever a video is uploaded sending a notice wouldn't be bad, etc)
[12:37] <head_victim> The more automated the joining of the accounts around the place are the better.
[12:38] <head_victim> Hmm g+ really looks different these days
[12:42] <jaddi27_> yeah, g+ is a lot better now
[12:43] <jaddi27_> i want to try to link it up for hangouts to work and be linked to the youtube account
[12:43] <head_victim> I've got nothing really against it, it's just I don't really do any social media.
[12:43] <head_victim> jaddi27_: sounds good :)
[12:46] <head_victim> Might be able to run some adhoc meetings on team projects that way.
[12:47] <jaddi27_> yeah, i was thinking that
[12:47] <jaddi27_> it would be a bit more interactive that way
[12:48] <head_victim> Yeah, you can even use ustream to share a desktop for all the watch on while you're on a hangout as well
[12:49] <jaddi27_> It should be possible to share the screen directly using the hangout tools, which will be easier still
[12:50] <head_victim> Ah ok, I didn't know that feature existed.
[12:50] <jaddi27_> just have to use dual monitors or something possibly
[12:50] <head_victim> Sounds like something fun to play with :)
[12:51] <jaddi27_> yeah, i will invite you and sagaci along to try it out when I get it working
[12:51] <jaddi27_> which might be in a few weeks, after uni exams
[12:51] <head_victim> Sounds good, I have my uni entrance exams this week myself
[12:52] <head_victim> Should be starting study at the start of July
[12:53] <jaddi27_> good luck with that head_victim
[12:53] <head_victim> Thanks mate, no doubt you've done enough study to not need luck with your exams
[12:55] <head_victim> Is there a limit on how many people can properly contribute in a google hangout?
[12:56] <jaddi27_> I think 9 was the limit, but i haven't checked recently
[12:57] <head_victim> Enough to make it worth it then
[12:57] <jaddi27_> this week is study week, so hopefully by the end of it I will be ready
[12:57] <jaddi27_> yep, i think so
[13:03] <sagaci> [22:51] <head_victim> Sounds good, I have my uni entrance exams this week myself
[13:03] <sagaci> glanced at that and assumed jaddi27_ said it
[13:04] <sagaci> entrance didn't register
[13:17] <head_victim> sagaci: it's a little scary, I haven't had any sort of tests for 10 years
[16:24] <sagaci> looks like the humble indie bundle has adopted the firefox release schedule
