| <xaphan_> greetings | |
| <xaphan_> anyone in here? | |
| <Brady_M> I'm Alive! | |
| <Brady_M> ok, any humans atk? | |
| <jgedeon> HMMM Vorian must be catching up on his sleep. | |
| <jgedeon> !seen Vorian | |
| <Brady_M> I'm alive | |
| * Brady_M piches self | |
| <Brady_M> Yep I'm here | |
| <jgedeon> Brady_M: You were looking at approaching your local school system about Ubuntu weren't you? | |
| <Brady_M> Since I'm local, and already working with the Union school Tech director, I can fill in. no problem. | |
| <Brady_M> I working out a donation program of PC's | |
| <Brady_M> Been slow on that, but it's been discussed for quite awhile | |
| <jgedeon> Oh ok.. | |
| <Brady_M> Need help? I not part of any specific team ATM. Just been here and there you know? | |
| <jgedeon> Didn't know if you read the article about Bexley Schools. | |
| <Brady_M> Yes I did. That is some good information | |
| <Brady_M> That would e a good sell point here | |
| <jgedeon> LOL | |
| <Brady_M> But then questions that will come up. Training of existing on staff techs on troubleshooting, secound line support etc | |
| <Brady_M> I'm sure they would want those questions answerd | |
| <jgedeon> I don't know the way my local school system keeps going they won't be needing any selling material. Found out this morning I was a topic of discussion at the School Board meeting. And am now sitting on the board of directors for Southeast Academy.. | |
| <jgedeon> I think Vorian is going to $hit when he gets an update. LOL | |
| <Brady_M> Awsome | |
| <jgedeon> existing tech staff? | |
| <jgedeon> Or do you mean staffs in general. | |
| <Brady_M> Well if schools were going to press using Ubuntu, each school here has one tech on hand (usually the computer lab teacher) | |
| <Brady_M> for minor issues like print jobs failing, minor netwokr issues | |
| <Brady_M> and if they get stuck call a main Union county help desk for support | |
| <Brady_M> I don't know how Ubuntu level of support is on that. I know it's online | |
| <jgedeon> Oh ok.. Wasn't sure what you meant. | |
| <Brady_M> they might want this package http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid | |
| <jgedeon> Yea if you look at that it really doesn't seem bad at all. | |
| <jgedeon> Hello Vorian!!! | |
| <jgedeon> You want some more good news. | |
| <Vorian> hi jgedeon | |
| <Vorian> sure :) | |
| <Brady_M> jgedeon: nah not at all. I think if their admins know about network structures, the transferring to another platform might be easier then they realize once they understand the infrastructure of the software. It's be simple | |
| <jgedeon> Vorian, remember how the school super drafted me to sit on the technology committee? | |
| <Vorian> yep | |
| <jgedeon> Well now I have been placed on the Board of Directors for Southeast Academy!!! Didn't even know I was running for it. Guess I was a pretty good topic of conversation at the school board meeting last night. | |
| * Vorian highfives jgedeon | |
| <jgedeon> LOL I see Ubuntu + FOSS LMAO | |
| <jgedeon> Working on an Ubuntu Server with Zimbra as we speak. | |
| <jgedeon> Got to run squad call | |
| <Brady_M> gotta run. Hug GF time | |

| <skippy> just press enter | |
| <skippy> it should save to ~/.id_rsa.pub or some such | |
| <Vorian> kewl | |
| <Vorian> ok | |
| <Vorian> when I ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, I get a permission denied | |
| <skippy> hrm? it's not an executable file. | |
| <skippy> what are you trying to do with that file? | |
| <Vorian> register in launchpad | |
| <Vorian> pfft! | |
| <skippy> why do you need ssh keys in launchpad? | |
| <skippy> dont you just need gpg keys? | |

| <skippy> I signed up for the Education team. In my copious free time I hope to be a useful participant. | |
| <Vorian> yay! | |
| <skippy> I have ulterior motives, of course. I want to steal all the training materials the team produces and use them for FreeGeek Columbus | |
| <xaphan_> would anyone find a aimbot that would perform system commands on your machine at home useful? | |
| <skippy> xaphan_, sounds dangerous. | |
| <xaphan_> not really | |
| <xaphan_> still working on setting a login for it | |
| <xaphan_> i should have it fully functional tomorrow | |
| <xaphan_> i just want to be able to check how my downloads are going lol | |
| <skippy> xaphan_, that's what ssh and screen are for! | |
| <xaphan_> cant ssh from work | |
| <skippy> even on non-default ports? | |
| <skippy> can you run OpenVPN? | |
| <xaphan_> i could | |
| <skippy> I heart OpenVPN | |
| <xaphan_> however | |
| <xaphan_> you could check on stuff from your phone | |
| <xaphan_> anything that has a messenger | |
| <xaphan_> hmm | |
| <skippy> I don't do messenger from my phone. I use ssh from my phone. | |
| <xaphan_> well then i want your phone lol | |
| <skippy> heh | |
| <xaphan_> whatcha got | |
| <skippy> Treo 650 | |
| <xaphan_> i was thinking of getting one of those... | |
| <skippy> I want a 700p | |
| <skippy> I really would like WiFi on my Treo. | |
| <xaphan_> yeah... | |
| <xaphan_> i'm either gonna get a pda or a "smartphone" | |
| <skippy> i _hated_ carrying a cell phone and a PDA. | |
| <skippy> I _love_ my Treo. | |
| <skippy> aloha, PWill. | |
| <xaphan_> i'm thinking i would too | |
| <skippy> I forgot to ask if you had any ideas for Columbus Ubuntu activities, PWill | |
| <PWill> skippy: Hey, not really though, but I'll think of some good ideas | |
| <PWill> skippy: Also, my dad said that he might be interested in helping write a grant for FG since he's a professional writer | |
| <skippy> PWill, fantastic!! | |
| <PWill> skippy: He also wanted to know if you guys actually do any training/classes. He thinks that if you did, that would open up a slew of grant opportunities. | |
| <skippy> PWill, it's certainly something we plan to do; it's largely a matter of resources (time, capacity to teach, comfortable space, etc) | |
| <PWill> yeah | |
| <skippy> i need to call it a night. | |
| <skippy> brainstorm some, PWill, and share any ideas you might have. | |
| <PWill> skippy: OK, night | |
