Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu membership
I've reported a ton of bugs but never considered becoming an Ubuntu member. I might have to reconsider. :) --jrp On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Walter Lapchynski w...@ubuntu.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 2:24 PM, Patrick Olson compma...@linuxusers.us wrote: On Wed, 26 Nov 2014 11:23:50 -0800, Walter Lapchynski w...@ubuntu.com wrote: You might be thinking that this is just for developers.

The community and its projects need a lot of different forms of help: * development * bug triage * technical support * documentation * marketing * artwork * translation * leadership Testing? That's where most of my experience is, although unfortunately on windows. Derp! That, too. The ISO testing is super easy. Basically download an ISO, run the installer a few different ways, and make sure all is good. Report bugs. It can all be done in a virtual machine.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu membership
One of the ways to help with testing is to enable -proposed and to quickly file bugs with any packages that come through that, especially the kernel. This is not necessarily for the faint of heart, though, as carefully unravelling upgrades (and knowing what dist-upgrades are safe) may be necessary. I used to do this all the time with Public Cloud images... but that's kinda part of what I did. --jrp On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Walter Lapchynski w...@ubuntu.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 3:06 PM, Patrick Olson compma...@linuxusers.us wrote: On Wed, 26 Nov 2014 14:31:07 -0800, Walter Lapchynski w...@ubuntu.com wrote: [stuff about testing…] Oh, I was thinking of something a bit smaller.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] IRC help (was: Re: Thank you.)
Actually, they added an account plugin so empathy can do a limited IRC: http://askubuntu.com/questions/463033/is-it-possible-to-use-irc-chat-on-new-empathy I prefer irssi myself. --jrp On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 3:31 PM, Cody Smith cody.smith9...@gmail.com wrote: Empathy doesn't DOES NOT do IRC, it's only for IM, IRC is a different protocol. Same thing with iChat. Now Pidgin CAN do IRC, but imo it's a crappy implementation. --c_smith On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 3:14 PM, Phillip N ph...@deltatriad.net wrote: Thanks, Walter, Cody, Thomas, I'm familiar with iChat, Pidgin, and Empathy, which is the default IRC in Ubuntu. My problem was not app based, it was Logging in via web interface. Because Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) calls me to simplify any situation, I was therefore trying to directly log in to web based IRC w/out authentication. I have recently discovered that logging in through Ubuntu One first, solves many a log in issues - go figure... LOL. Problem solved. I'll eagerly await this evenings irc meeting at 6:30pm, to see it all works. BTY: I think tonight's topic is review of UOS. Thanks everyone for your support. Phil.
