[SLUG] Locale settings in Debian

[Heracles]

Maybe I need to ask this on the Debian list BUT:
I have set my system to Australian English and it insists on converting 
everything in Google Chrome to euros! How do I change it to display 
Australian Dollars?

... SLUG Site, now I cant get past the front page  ...


On the Slug home page I see a row of menu items across the top: "Home | 
Events | Archives | Mailing Lists | Get the code!": http://www.slug.org.au/


Here is what happens when I select them:

* Home: takes me to the same page (as expected).
* Events: displays the text "SLUG Events", with a yellow rectangle below
it, but no actual events.
* Archives: displays the text "Welcome to nginx!" but no archives
* Mailing List: displays "Welcome to nginx!" but no mailing lists.
* Get the code!: takes me to GitHub with a repository of Slug stuff, but 
why?


Below these menu items it says "Sydney Linux User Group" and there is a 
paragraph describing the group (which makes sense).


Then below that it says "#sydlug @slugupdates both Loading tweets..." 
which does not make much sense. I assume these are the hastag, twitter 
address and a list of recent Tweets is then supposed to appear (but 
thankfully does not: who would want this?).


Next to that is "Previously at SLUG (more on YouTube) Enabled HTML5 
Video!" with a video window underneath. I have video turned off by 
default so thankfully nothing plays (why would I want it to?).


Below that is "Attend the next meeting, Sponsor An event or SLUG as a 
whole, Give a talk Educate your fellows". Here is what I get when 
selecting each:


* ATTEND: "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 
"/base/data/home/runtimes/python/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/_webapp25.py", 
line 715, in __call__

handler.get(*groups)
  File 
"/base/data/home/apps/s~sydney-linux-user-group-hr/8.353599326443764872/events.py", 
line 26, in get

self.redirect(event_lists.get_next_event().get_url())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_url'"

* SPONSOR: Creates an email with the address 
"commit...@slug.org.au&subject=Sponsoring SLUG". I assume "Sponsoring 
SLUG" is supposed to be in the subject line, but is not.


* GIVE A TALK: Opens a window asking for my Open Id to log into the Slug 
website, but why?


I suggest:

1. Replace the video and the twitter feed windows with hypertext links.
2. Delete "Get the code!"
3. Get the other menu options to work.

ps: I am using Firefox 40.0.3 for Linux.

Re: [SLUG] Wiki suggestions?

[Jonathan Molyneux]

Confluence is a good start for a wiki:
https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing?_mid=206e3e3a242fb80ba4d7ba972f52c657&gclid=CIbO5Y-M9scCFYkrvQodRNoAOw#server

Doesn't cost heaps and it's a solid wiki.

I'm looking for a Wiki to setup for the company to make available to
contractors semi-private documents

I don't mind if I have to pay a little for it, but open source would
be most excellent.

So, I'm looking for suggestions for some form of Wiki.

I'd like

1) Secure - two levels of access (view/edit)
2) Lightweight
3) Linux (obviously, 'cause f**k paying Microsoft tax where I don't have to)

It'd be nice if I could integrate it with AD (or at least LDAP query
for usernames/passwords), but that's not critical.

It'd also be nice if I could put some kind of skin or theme on it
customised by the marketing nazi's to make it look all company-ie.

Any suggestions?


Thanks.

DaZZa

[simran]

You can pay Atlassian instead...

Not free, but very good: https://confluence.atlassian.com/
(go for the server version if you want to install it on one of your own
linux hosts)

Re: [SLUG] Website

[Amos Shapira]

I agree the site doesn't give a great shot of confidence in Linux as a web
server, it doesn't render any page to completion for me.

There is a link to "See the code" which points to
https://github.com/sydney-linux-user-group/slug/commits/master, where the
last commit happened over three years ago (29 May 2012), so perhaps it's
just a case of deterioration more than active change.
