| <SimonAnibal> Hey | |
| <effie_jayx> sup SimonAnibal | |
| <SimonAnibal> howdy effie_jayx, elkbuntu | |
| <elkbuntu> hi SimonAnibal :) | |
| <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, SimonAnibal is from the newly opened channel | |
| <effie_jayx> :D | |
| <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, we've met :) | |
| <effie_jayx> jono, the venezuelan team is back on freenode | |
| <SimonAnibal> I'm also pretty active in the Ubuntu and Education community | |
| <jono> effie_jayx, :) | |
| <SimonAnibal> with Rich Weideman | |
| <elkbuntu> SimonAnibal, cool! | |
| <SimonAnibal> I work in a high school in Indiana here in the States | |
| <SimonAnibal> And we've got almost 300 workstations | |
| <elkbuntu> awesome | |
| <SimonAnibal> I'm also working with ubuntu-directory for likely obvious reasons | |
| <SimonAnibal> (We need Active Directory integration) | |
| <SimonAnibal> I'm delighted to see our fraternity moving closer to the main Ubuntu community | |
| <effie_jayx> :D | |
| <SimonAnibal> it's kind of difficult when your LoCo team speaks a different language | |
| <effie_jayx> definetely | |
| <SimonAnibal> I was wondering if anyone in here could give us some ideas as to how other international LoCo teams that use different languages cope? | |
| <effie_jayx> SimonAnibal, they'll strike that down in the presentation ... ;) | |
| <SimonAnibal> AWEEEEEsome | |
| <SimonAnibal> now, if only my router'll keep the number of dropped packets to a minimum and allow me to sit through the presentation intact, we'll be set | |
| <JanC> SimonAnibal: we have 4 official languages (and 3 of them actively used) :) | |
| <JanC> we use English as our "lingua franca" | |
| <SimonAnibal> JanC: From what country? | |
| <JanC> Belgium | |
| <SimonAnibal> Ahhhhh, I see, what, English, French, Dutch and........hrm | |
| <SimonAnibal> drawing a blank now | |
| <JanC> Belgium has 3 official languages (Dutch, French & German), but we added English as an official LoCoTeam language, as most people know that as a second or third language | |
| <SimonAnibal> cool | |
| <SimonAnibal> in Venezuela we have mandatory English in schools, which doesn't mean everyone understands English | |
| <JanC> so most discussions of the LoCoTeam are in English, but if someone doesn't feel comfortable with that, they can write their mother tongue and someone will translate if needed | |
| <SimonAnibal> Wow, that sounds quite interesting | |
| <mitsuhiko> zakame: pong | |
| <SimonAnibal> We only speak Spanish, so that should make things a little less complicated :) | |
| <JanC> here Dutch and French speaking people have the other language mandatory in schools too | |
| <JanC> but like you say, mandatory school stuff doesn't mean much ;-) | |
| <JanC> SimonAnibal: I think the best you can do is make sure that important stuff (announcements etc.) are translated to Spanish and then forwarded to the team | |
| <effie_jayx> yea | |
| <effie_jayx> definetely... | |
| <effie_jayx> our team didn't know about the Ubuntu Open Week | |
| <JanC> and maybe people may follow important English-language lists and IRC channels | |
| <JanC> even if they don't feel comfortable to participate yet, they can maybe understand most of it | |
| <effie_jayx> yeah | |
| <effie_jayx> that's what I told them... in an open email to the group | |
| <JanC> I mean, I learned the very basics about programming from an English language book about Sinclair ZX Spectrum BASIC when I was 11 year old, and I didn't know a word of English before ;) | |
| <JanC> which actually became a problem later, as I mentally pronounced English words as if they were Dutch ;-) | |
| <SimonAnibal> I was lucky to have an Electrical Engineer for a father who instructed me on GWBASIC | |
| <SimonAnibal> very basic BASIC, but basic BASIC is better than no BASIC | |
| <effie_jayx> SimonAnibal, a little bit of something | |
| <JanC> hm, Gates William BASIC :) | |
| <SimonAnibal> JanC: Is THAT what it stands for???? | |
| <effie_jayx> SimonAnibal, my daughter (aged 4) plays Frozen bubble like a champ | |
| <effie_jayx> imagine her at 20 | |
| <JanC> SimonAnibal: well, soem say so :) | |
| <JanC> some | |
| <SimonAnibal> I think it DID come with DOS at one point | |
| <JanC> remember that Micro Soft's first product was BASIC :) | |
| <SimonAnibal> Yeah, but there are so many flavors | |
| <SimonAnibal> I've used GWBASIC, MBASIC, QBASIC | |
| <effie_jayx> SimonAnibal, gambas? | |
| <JanC> well, it might be an urban legend | |
| <SimonAnibal> effie_jayx: It's been so long, I think I'm just going to try to learn Python | |
| <effie_jayx> SimonAnibal, tried python? | |
| <JanC> hehe :) | |
| <JanC> python is great | |
| <SimonAnibal> So far I've not had the TIME to sit down and really learn it | |
| <effie_jayx> compare java's ... System.out.println ("Hello"); ...with print ("Hello") | |
| <SimonAnibal> Time is the one resource I can't seem to manage well | |
| <effie_jayx> no offence to all java guys .. but something simple :D | |
| <effie_jayx> mruiz, what up brother ? | |
| <mruiz> hello effie_jayx | |
| <SimonAnibal> Hey tocayo | |
| <JanC> effie_jayx, you mean: print "Hello" # :) | |
| <effie_jayx> yea | |
| <effie_jayx> I mixed them | |
| <effie_jayx> even more simple | |
| <SimonAnibal> heheh | |
| <JanC> and you can actually do the equivalent: sys.stdout.write("Hello\n") | |
| *** jalrnc_ is now known as jalrnc | |
| <JanC> effie_jayx: btw, print ("Hello!) will also work | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, can't believe you are still at it LOL | |
| <effie_jayx> LOL | |
| <JanC> heh, I *love* python, sorry :) | |
| <effie_jayx> i'm reading a book I bought | |
| <effie_jayx> and I downloaded and IDE | |
| <effie_jayx> but | |
| <SimonAnibal> I'm reading the tutorial at pythobn.org | |
| <SimonAnibal> python.org, that is | |
| <effie_jayx> I have to get a round it | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, it's called erick or something | |
| <SimonAnibal> Is there a LoCo team for the United States State of Indiana yet? | |
| <SimonAnibal> I know there's an Ubuntu/Midwest, but the Midwest region of the U.S. is bigger than most countries! | |
| <SimonAnibal> not very LoCal | |
| <JanC> effie_jayx: eric3 probably | |
| <effie_jayx> ajam | |
| <JanC> it's Qt based :) | |
| <JanC> you're a Kubuntu user? | |
| <effie_jayx> nope | |
| <JanC> ah, so it probably looks very ugly in GNOME :) | |
| <effie_jayx> not quite | |
| <JanC> if you don't have KDE libs | |
| <effie_jayx> I use a lot of KDE stuff on gnomw | |
| <effie_jayx> amaroK | |
| <JanC> ah, I don't | |
| <effie_jayx> and it looks nice | |
| <JanC> yeah, KDE themes are okay | |
| <JanC> but pure Qt themes look ugly | |
| <JanC> at least until Qt3 | |
| <JanC> I'm told that Qt4 has a better-looking default theme | |
| <effie_jayx> ohhh | |
| <effie_jayx> well | |
| <effie_jayx> I did try gtkpy script to try the visual environment on gnome with py | |
| <effie_jayx> looks | |
| <effie_jayx> good | |
| <JanC> one of the best GTK-based python IDEs is closed source, but there is a limited version for educational/hobby users | |
| <effie_jayx> how limited? | |
| <SimonAnibal> I use gedit | |
| <SimonAnibal> is it more limited than that? ;-) | |
| <JanC> limited as in: it doesn't have all the features of the professional version :) | |
| <JanC> and can't be used for profit | |
| <JanC> they also give away gratis licenses for the professional version to not-for-profit open source developers | |
| <eneried> hello | |
