[12:08] <ts2> bkerensa: that's what chroots are for (and I use schroot and sbuild, but pbuilder is another)
[12:10] <bkerensa> yeah I know :)
[12:10] <bkerensa> I use schroot
[16:54] <bkerensa> jcastro: Had no idea you debianized gwibber :)
[17:59] <s-fox> Evening
[18:01] <koolhead17> evening
[18:01] <s-fox> How's everyone?
[18:03] <MrChrisDruif> Pretty good s-fox, did you get that job?
[18:03] * koolhead17 is alive and kicking :)
[18:03] <MrChrisDruif> The one where the interview went well?
[18:03] <s-fox> I have a second interview on the premises on Wednesday MrChrisDruif. I have been working on my OO PHP
[18:12] <MrChrisDruif> Good going and good luck s-fox ^_^
[18:14] <MrChrisDruif> I'm applying to a job which combines working and learning. 28 hours of working and 10 hours of school in a week.
[18:22] <koolhead17> MrChrisDruif: sounds interesting :)
[21:28] <czajkowski> JanC: should we create a wiki page or an event on the LTP for FOSDEM ?
[21:29] <JanC> I was going to create a wiki page, but...
[21:33] <czajkowski> all the info we can add to the LTP
[21:33] <czajkowski> just under your locoteam?
[21:33] <czajkowski> thats if there are plans to go for dinner
[21:34] <JanC> I'm working on a wiki page right now
[21:34] <czajkowski> not sure what I'm doing the saturday night as there is a large group of us
[21:34] <czajkowski> wiki is fine then
[21:35] <JanC> Ward is going to look at dinner locations (maybe the Italian place from last year)
[21:35] <czajkowski> nods
[21:35] <JanC> and we'll compile a list at FOSDEM
[21:35] <JanC> tens to be more reliable than doing beforehand :P
[21:36] <czajkowski> we ended up in the Opera place again as they could seat 18 of us in the end
[21:36] <JanC> tends*
[21:36] <JanC> we actually borrowed seats from the MySQL people last year ☺
[21:36] <czajkowski> cool
[21:36] <czajkowski> the friday night we ended up at some odd place but was nice
[21:37] <JanC> they told the restaurant they would be maybe 50, but on Friday night I talked to a Belgian member of their community they didn't expect more than 30
[21:37] <czajkowski> and saturday as the group kept growing, we went to drug opera as only place I knew off hand that had large space.
[21:37] <popey> have they finally banned smoking in pubs in .be now?
[21:38] <JanC> so we were on the same table with Monty and got free liquorice wodka ☺
[21:38] <czajkowski> thoguth it was up to them and most do it bar the likes of delerium
[21:38] <czajkowski> JanC: nice but tis evil stuff
[21:41] <czajkowski> nn folks
[21:41] <JanC> popey: not entirely
[21:42] <JanC> popey: 2014-06-01 is the final cut-off date it seems
[21:43] <JanC> there are some rules that make it difficult/expensive to allow smoking though
[21:44] <JanC> e.g. Delirium is large enough that they have to make > 50% of the bar non-smoking, and the smoking parts need equipment to "suck" (most of) the smoke away
[22:08] <JanC> czajkowski: I started https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fosdem/2012 but need to add more info the next days ☺
[23:43] <jono> hey all
[23:45] <MrChrisDruif> Aloha jono
[23:46] <MrChrisDruif> How's it going jono ?
[23:47] <jono> hey MrChrisDruif
[23:47] <jono> good thanks
[23:47] <jono> http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/01/23/hacking-on-accomplishments/
[23:47] <MrChrisDruif> Yeah, I'm not subscripted to your blog ^_^
[23:48] <jono> MrChrisDruif, it is on Planet Ubuntu too
[23:48] <MrChrisDruif> Not an avid reader, let's just put it like that ^_^
[23:49] <jono> np
[23:50] <MrChrisDruif> Awesome trophies ^_^
[23:50] <jono> :-)
[23:51] <JanC> hm, I wonder how that would work for helping people on IRC, on a forum, or in real life...
[23:51] <MrChrisDruif> Clicked a button, Clicked another button...I'd have a million trophies by now then ;-)
[23:51] <MrChrisDruif> AskUbuntu should be doable
[23:51] <MrChrisDruif> IRC...interesting one...real life...ghe
[23:52] <JanC> real life help is often the most important ;)
[23:52] <MrChrisDruif> AskUbuntu already has a rewarding system in place, you could retrieve those I think
[23:52] <JanC> but most difficult to reward
[23:53] <MrChrisDruif> That is indeed true
[23:53] <MrChrisDruif> How about "Installed *ubuntu on someone else's system"? =P
[23:54] <JanC> I see the spec mentions this to some degree
[23:54] <MrChrisDruif> "Made your first OpenSSH connection" =P
[23:54] <JanC> under "Human Issued"
[23:55] <jono> JanC, yeah, some things would need to be issued by people
[23:55] <jono> the idea was to first get the automated ones fixed up first
[23:55] <jono> then we have a platform in which we can generate trophies
[23:55] <JanC> but a lot of that sort of work happens outside of any official structure
[23:55] <jono> JanC, what do you mean?
[23:56] <JanC> well, lots of people help other prople without any structure being around to record that
[23:56] <jono> JanC, oh right, yeah
[23:57] <jono> this system would not cover everything
[23:57] <jono> but I think it could cover a lot
[23:57] <jono> such as filing your first bug, getting a first patch approved, making a translation etc
[23:58] <MrChrisDruif> Yes, those can be "easily" added, but JanC was referring to real life help situations
[23:58] <JanC> for several reasons translations aren't always registered to the actual translator...
[23:58] <jono> right
[23:59] <JanC> and the same for patches, etc.
[23:59] <jono> agreed, but I think this system would provide enough coverage of activities to help people feel that their contributions are worthwhile
[23:59] <jono> so it won't cover everything, but I get the impression it would cover enough to be interesting for folks
[23:59] <jono> and then the human issued can help cover the rest
[23:59] <jono> this is still very much a WIP though, hence why we are just playing with ideas
[23:59] <cjohnston> jono, do you have dates for the end of applying for sponsorship yet please
[23:59] <jono> cjohnston, not yet
[23:59] <jono> I am going to get this out tomorrow
