[06:26] <head_victim> Haha you know what's awesome? Dell are giving out our team's contact information to client's calling in for support requests.
[06:26] <head_victim> I think that just rocks.
[07:48] <sagaci> head_victim: wut/
[07:48] <sagaci> that's funny/weird
[08:46] <head_victim> sagaci: yeah, at least we exist to people outside our little ecosystem which in itself is a good thing.
[08:47] <head_victim> It's posed an interesting question though, would we like to become a contact point for hardware vendors?
[10:15] <head_victim> Is it just me or is it a bit odd to post a video why a certain thing sucks to a fb group dedicated to the certain thing?
[10:15] <head_victim> http://www.facebook.com/groups/4323588812/10150607714908813/
[10:25] <jaddi27> head_victim, I was about to ask you if I should remove him from the group
[10:26] <head_victim> It is getting a bit spammy.
[10:26] <head_victim> Can we remove single posts?
[10:26] <jaddi27> I think some of the things he put up there are completely irrelevant, and he is just trying to promote himsef
[10:26] <jaddi27> yes, i think we can
[10:27] <jaddi27> Yes, we can. I will remove all of the unrelated ones
[10:27] <head_victim> Sounds good mate.
[10:27] <jaddi27> That leave two. I am not entirely sure on them - maybe you could see what you think
[10:28] <head_victim> I tried watching the things that suck about linux but when the first point was it's community I really couldn't see a reason to continue.
[10:28] <head_victim> He was afterall, posting it to a linux community page.....
[10:28] <jaddi27> Yes, exactly. That one was removed
[10:29] <head_victim> I will try to sit through the FSF one to make sure it's not one of the more controversial speeches RMS has conducted.
[10:30] <jaddi27> Ok
[10:31] <head_victim> Actually, makes me wonder if he's allowed to be filming where he was.....
[10:32] <jaddi27> Seems a bit unusual to be filmed like that
[10:32] <head_victim> I thought it was actually official footage from the event.
[10:35] <jaddi27> I think remove that also
[10:37] <head_victim> Around minute 7 he does explain his opinion that is different from RMS.
[10:38] <jaddi27> Yes, that is true
[10:38] <head_victim> Meh I'm happy to leave that one there. He does actually balance it out
[10:39] <head_victim> We're not about censoring, just removing inappropriate advertising.
[10:39] <jaddi27> Looking through the launchpad team list, his name is not on the list at all
[10:39] <jaddi27> Yes
[10:40] <head_victim> I think one of us needs to write him a quick message to state why and what was removed. If you didn't have time I don't mind
[10:41] <jaddi27> I am happy for you to do it - you would probably explain it in a better manner than I would at the moment
[10:42] <jaddi27> On a different subject - what is the deactivated list of members for the ubuntu-au team on launchpad? Did individual members deactivate themselves, or did someone else do it?
[10:42] <head_victim> I just need to work out how to do it in FB
[10:42] <head_victim> I think the deactivated list is people that remove themselves from the team or deactivate their lp account altogether or a combination of the two.
[10:43] <jaddi27> Ok. That makes sense
[10:44] <head_victim> Maybe a combination of the 2.
[10:44] <jaddi27> I can't find the way to send a message to someone who is not a friend on facebook. There used to be a way to do it, but I can't see it at the moment
[10:45] <head_victim> I was just trying to get the same thing
[10:46] <jaddi27> I think they have taken the option away - it just does not appear anywhere anymore
[10:46] <head_victim> I might just write a little comment in the last video posted then.
[10:49] <head_victim> Hard to write publically ;)
[10:50] <jaddi27> It is a bit stupid of facebook to not give the option - i am sure this is something many people would come across
[10:50] <head_victim> When I hover over the name i just get a loading box
[10:51] <jaddi27> I get a bit further than that, but there is no option to send a message anymore
[10:54] <head_victim> Ah well if he asks I'll explain
[10:54] <jaddi27> sounds like a good plan
[10:54] <jaddi27> Did you see the translation graphs I made?
[10:54] <head_victim> Yep, did you take them from the other translation graphs they made?
[10:56] <jaddi27> No, I have been keeping a spreadsheet of data since september last year
[10:56] <head_victim> http://91.189.93.77/stats/
[10:56] <head_victim> Oh wow
[10:57] <head_victim> That's right, you did say you'd set up scripts
[10:57] <jaddi27> That email about the new graphs just made me want to get my graphs working properly
[10:57] <jaddi27> It is just done as a drupal module, so should be able to be deployed to any website running drupal
[10:58] <head_victim> Hmm, we have a website running drupal........
[10:58] <head_victim> Is it a publically available module?
[10:59] <jaddi27> Not quite yet, because it is a bit rough in places. I will be fixing it up to work more smoothly, then put it up on drupal.org
[10:59] <head_victim> If so, maybe try to push it a bit in -translations to see if they can have someone evaluate it well enough to see if Canonical can add it to their repertoire so we can in turn put it up on ours ;)
[11:00] <jaddi27> Ok. I will do that
[11:00] <jaddi27> Though if dpm fixes his up more, then mine might become redundant
[11:01] <head_victim> I thought his was django
[11:01] <jaddi27> Yes, I think it is
[11:01] <jaddi27> I know it is definitely done in Python
[11:02] <head_victim> Your powers combined :)
[11:09] <head_victim> Yours has a much better history
[11:09] <head_victim> dpm's is better at seeing "now".
[11:10] <head_victim> And that history looks awesome on a graph when you see when you and sagaci went nuts with translating.
[12:10] <jaddi27> head_victim, Now there is a video on how to reinstall windows
[12:13] <head_victim> Was.
[12:13] <head_victim> Comment made as well.
[12:14] <head_victim> I'm currently googling to try and help someone out with with a hardware issue :/
[12:20] <head_victim> Hmm he's going through readding them all.
[12:21] <jaddi27> Yes, he is. If he keeps going, I think I will just remove him. His reply to your message indicates to me that he doesn't really care
[12:21] <head_victim> We tried being nice.
[12:22] <head_victim> Did you remove him or did he do it himself?
[12:22] <jaddi27> No, he is still there. I will remove him now
[12:22] <head_victim> My site is showing none of his videos
[12:23] <jaddi27> He is now banned permanently from the group
[12:23] <jaddi27> I can still see the videos
[12:24] <jaddi27> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4323588812/blocked/?order=alphabetical
[12:24] <head_victim> Odd, I refreshed the page after adding the comment to keep on topic and it was all gone.
