19:22.21wTrevynherlo: ping
19:24.02wTrevynIm looking to donate and or sponsor an Open Source Event or Group
19:24.20wTrevynId like some information as to where the most help is neede
19:24.21wTrevynd
19:55.36herlowTrevyn: pong...
19:56.26herlowTrevyn: so one of the things I think you need to first understand is that starting an open source group is that most of these groups are done bottom up
19:56.29wTrevynherlo: can you PM me with some recomendations
19:56.36herlowTrevyn: not really...
19:56.39herlohere's why
19:57.07herloI don't really have any clue all of the groups out there or ones that need help per se.  Except for the ones who are already established
19:57.17herloif you are interested in helping those groups, we can talk
19:57.44herlobut as far as new groups, you'd probably be best off creating your own and UTOS will help you establish and promote it
19:58.01herlowTrevyn: make sense?
19:58.29herloopen source is a bottom up type organization as a whole.  Lots of little pieces made the big group.
19:58.43herlowTrevyn: why are you looking?
19:59.02wTrevynherlo: yeah, i have my own group right now, and I want to see if there are things my group could help sponsor
19:59.05herlowTrevyn: what interests you about open source, what groups are you interested in?  This is the area where you should be looking
19:59.06wTrevynnetworking
19:59.12herlowTrevyn: ahh, okay
19:59.23herlodo you have regular meetings?
19:59.29wTrevynEveryday home boy
19:59.30herlohang on, phone call
19:59.33wTrevyn#esource
20:05.55herlowTrevyn: every day?
20:06.18*** join/#utos zzzirk_hm (n=zzzirk_h@c-67-177-13-115.hsd1.ut.comcast.net)
20:06.18herlowhat does this group do?
20:06.37herloand do you have a website, meeting location, etc?
20:06.51mindjujuwTrevyn == Trevyn (from #uphpu) ?
20:06.58herlomindjuju: I know
20:07.05herlooh
20:07.08mindjujuoh, was more of a question
20:07.09herloI thought you were stating fact
20:07.11wTrevynhttp://esourcehome.com/
20:07.12herlohehe
20:07.25wTrevynits a group/business
20:07.32wTrevynif that counts
20:08.06mindjujusup Trevyn -- don't see you in #uphpu much anymore
20:08.09herlono, it really can't be a business because that's focused on making money
20:08.10mindjujuwhat you up to these days?
20:08.28herlopeople need to come to learn networking (right??) topics, not so much about making money
20:08.35herlowTrevyn: that's my thought anywa
20:08.36herloy
20:08.38wTrevynmindjuju: we got some fun stuff happening
20:09.02herlowTrevyn: like what?
20:09.06wTrevynherlo: we make money, but we help eachother / get new skills
20:09.27herlowTrevyn: nothing wrong with that
20:09.28wTrevynWe are building the new web interface for Fiber.net Dedicated/VPSVHosting servers
20:09.36wTrevynusing PXE 3.0
20:09.41herlohowever, most LUGs (Local User Groups) UTOS deals with are nonprofit
20:09.44wTrevynvariose server ISOs
20:09.53herlowTrevyn: have you seen cobbler?
20:10.28wTrevynI have not
20:10.29herlohttp://fedorahosted.org/cobbler
20:11.01herloyou should check it out.  I use it all the time.  It helps you build custom pxe, kickstart and automated software repositories
20:11.22wTrevynherlo:  kai will be in the esource room in a bit, he is doing all the PXE installs
20:11.42herlonot sure what operating systme you use, but they've got RH/Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu/deb(coming in next release) and windows, etc. in up coming releases
20:12.00wTrevynherlo: we are doing Cent)S FedCore, Ubuntu, Windows installs
20:12.08wTrevynLAMP Base ect
20:12.15herlowTrevyn: it could do all of that except winders atm
20:12.24wTrevynyeah windows has been harder
20:12.42herloshouldn't be that much harder, save the RIS server
20:12.47herloanyway, back to your group
20:13.10herlowhat you should do is really separate it out into its own thing, make it free to attend and build a website around it
20:13.15wTrevynI need to spell check that webpage.
20:13.19herlocall it Utah Network User Group or something...
20:13.37herlodoesn't matter if it is hosted at your location, but if you want it to grow, that would be best imo
20:15.03wTrevynherlo: separate form what?
20:15.08wTrevynits free to attend
20:15.48herlowTrevyn: from your company
20:15.54wTrevynoh
20:15.57herloI figured it was free to attend
20:16.27wTrevynUPHPU and UTOS and PLUG and those groups are fine for that stuff
20:16.42herlothing is, most of the time, open source is independent of a company when it comes to meetings.  Nothing wrong with holding the meetings at your place of business, they just need to be separate entities
20:16.48wTrevynI dont know if there is much of a market for the Utah "Network" User Group
20:16.50herlowTrevyn: for what stuff?
20:17.09herlowTrevyn: is that what your group focuses on?
20:17.11wTrevynSharing Tech stuff
20:17.18herlohow so?
20:17.26herlowhat tech stuff?
20:17.34herloanythign?
20:17.38wTrevynId rather support an established group that try to spilt groups
20:18.01wTrevynherlo, we do alot of tech stuff but focus on Open Source
20:18.11wTrevynwe just get projects that pay
20:18.13herlowTrevyn: so I guess I'm still mising your point
20:18.28herloyou want to sponsor a group ro something?
20:18.31wTrevynI just wanted to support UPHPU or somthing
20:18.35wTrevynyeah
20:18.38herloahh
20:18.39herlookay
20:18.46herloThat's much clearer
20:19.04wTrevynwTrevynherlo: ping 12:24wTrevynIm looking to donate and or sponsor an Open Source Event or Group 12:24wTrevynId like some information as to where the most help is neede
20:19.06wTrevyn:)
20:19.28wTrevynIve got some good guys in my group
20:19.37herlowell, so I should state up front, that UTOS is currently filing 501c3, UPHPU and Utah Open Source Groups will have our support in the near future
20:19.38wTrevynand they have alot to offer for pay or for free
20:19.56wTrevynwe spend most of our time working and not enough time contributing
20:19.58herlok, so you said that, but then I asked what your group does...
20:20.06herloso it got confusing fast, sorry
20:20.22wTrevynAnd I would like to contribute to some local well established groups in hopes that I can network with more talent
20:20.32wTrevynand at times find resources we may need.
20:20.48herlowTrevyn: ahh, so not 'networking', but you want to have more contacts as in a network of resources..
20:20.49wTrevynAlso, becuase I want to know who is who
20:21.02herlowTrevyn: best way to do that is come to a meeting btw
20:21.09wTrevynherlo: but im looking for a certain breed
20:21.21herlowTrevyn: yep
20:21.22wTrevynbut in any case, I think getting my gusy more local exposure is good for them
20:21.23herlohttp://blog.utos.org/utah-tech-groups/
20:21.46herlowTrevyn: no problem, I'm looking for work myself right now, so if you have anything you wanna send my way :)
20:22.06wTrevynherlo: that aboyt
20:22.12wTrevynIve got some for you
20:22.13herlo:)

22:04.40Jayce^does this one involve a quick trip to south america, and carrying a package without your hands?
22:10.48penodon't those pay in cash?
22:12.03herloit's a cash job for sure
22:12.06herlo:)
22:14.21penoisn't that ultimately the goal of any job?
22:15.47herloyep
22:51.35decriptoris there a way to test the return code of a command in a one liner if statement
22:51.47decriptorsomething like if test command -ne "0"; then...
22:52.11decriptorI run the command and then run if test "$?" -ne "0" ; then
22:56.47herlodecriptor: how about &&
23:00.53decriptor?
23:00.57decriptorcommand &&
23:01.02decriptorcommand && if test...
23:01.02herlono
23:01.17herlo[[ command -ne 0 ]] && other command
23:01.22decriptoroh
23:01.32herlo[[ is semi-equivalent to test in bash
23:01.34decriptorthis is for configure.ac
23:01.40herloshould work
23:01.48herlodoesn't know for sure though
23:02.07decriptorI'm trying to check for a lib that doesn't have a pc file :/
23:02.10decriptorI have something that works
23:02.26decriptorcurses mono
23:02.48herlohehe
23:03.59decriptorherlo: I'm starting to share similar views as the release manager of fedora :)
23:04.18decriptorherlo: around mono that is
23:04.24herloahh
23:04.38decriptorthat's the only thing that I've talked to him about
23:04.47decriptorI might be going to scale next year btw
23:05.03herlodecriptor: me too.  I'm runnin ght Fedora Booht
23:05.08decriptorsweet
23:05.15decriptorI'll be helping out with the openSUSE booth
23:05.20herlowe could carpool or fly and hang out
23:05.29herlodepends on whether I have a job or not
23:05.33decriptorI'm flying (being paid for)
23:05.41decriptorI have the hotel :)
23:06.02herloahh, yes, well I think I'll be getting reimbursed for some of that since the budget has just been handed out
23:06.18decriptorherlo: nice
23:06.58herloyeah, Fedora does a lot when it comes to budget
23:07.14decriptorthat's awesome... in a way its the openSUSE budget that's going to get me out there
23:07.26herlo:)
23:08.30decriptormy new favorite command is crtl-r
23:08.57herlohehe, yeah
23:09.05herlobtw, that only works in emacs mode
23:09.09herloif you run
23:09.12herloset -o vi
23:09.14herlothen you can do
23:09.22herlo<PROTECTED>
23:09.23decriptor?
23:09.28decriptoroh
23:09.31decriptorI'm using in bash
23:09.37herlobash defaults ot emacs mode
23:09.38decriptor... on the console
23:09.42decriptoroh didn't know that
23:09.48herloecho $SHELLOPTS
23:09.51herlotry that command
23:09.55herloyou'll see what I mean
23:10.09decriptorwell, look at that
23:10.27decriptorI'll have to play with that when I get a chance to breath
23:11.19herlohehe, yeah
23:11.35herlothere's lots of cool settings to make you more (or less) efficient
23:11.37decriptorI'm putting out fires, in hopes that I can get back to my work
23:11.42herloyou can use ctrl-a / ctrl-e
23:11.49herloto move to the beginning or end of the line
23:12.19decriptorI've seen that before, but can never remember them
23:12.56decriptorI need to make a background of useful commands and then make it the top image of the cube in compiz
23:14.18herlosomething like that
23:14.58decriptorI feel useless without the expo feature in compiz... its killing me not having it lately
23:16.43bmac2I wish to express my opinion of installing java and the 7000 versions that every idiot in the world has come up with
23:16.45bmac2it sucks
23:17.02bmac2I know no one cares about my opinion
23:17.04bmac2but there it is
23:17.05bmac2anyway
23:17.18decriptorcrap backspace doesn't work
23:17.21decriptorwell
23:17.29decriptorguess I have to read bmac2 opinion
23:18.02decriptorthe only problem that I have with java is the push to use openjdk...  yeah its great and all, but things don't work with it yet
23:18.35herlough, java is stupid
23:18.43herloand I coded in it for 2.75 years
23:18.51decriptorthey made openjdk the new default in openSUSE 11.1
23:19.10decriptorbreaks sslvpn (I think its sslexplorer)
23:21.57bmac2I am doing it on freebsd
23:22.04bmac2which is usually a breeze
23:22.13bmac2but good god, there are soo many differnt files
23:22.19bmac2finding the right one to download sucked
23:22.20decriptoryeah, with ports that's usually a lot nicer
23:22.36bmac2but the sun license makes you have to manually download it
23:22.53bmac2then once you figure out the right file install it from the ports
23:23.49decriptorbmac2: I usually look at the netbeans stuff (great c/c++ ide and some cool new python stuff)
23:24.24decriptorI check all my java stuff through that since its in java and requires the sdk
23:24.51bmac2I have netbeans installed on here
23:24.57bmac2just it is for my freebsd server
23:24.59decriptorand it works?
23:25.01bmac2I need a java runtime
23:25.04bmac2on my server
23:25.17decriptorwhat do you need the java for?
23:25.18bmac2for a program my boss wants to look at
23:25.46bmac2it is a program called SecretSquirrel
23:26.02bmac2it is a multiuser, web accessible password encryption program
23:26.04decriptornever heard of it
23:26.13bmac2me either until I found it on freshmeat today
23:26.20decriptorwhat's the goal?
23:26.23bmac2<PROTECTED>
23:26.30bmac2but NOW it is  moral imperative
23:26.34bmac2to defeat the java monster
23:26.38decriptorlol
23:26.42decriptorhate when that happens
23:27.04bmac2passwords encrypted, accessible from the network from any platform, mac, unix, windows
23:27.11bmac2different levels of users
23:27.22bmac2so a user can either be allowed or blocked from sections
23:27.41bmac2since the PCI regs apply to us because we process credit cards
23:27.50bmac2I need to encrypt all the passwords safeley
23:27.52bmac2safely
23:27.53bmac2even
23:28.12bmac2so I am looking at open source stuff I cna put on my freebsd box I use for network monitoring
23:28.22decriptorhave you looked at bandit
23:28.22decriptor?
23:28.26bmac2nope
23:28.26decriptorsorry, still java
23:28.33bmac2I don't care if it is java
23:28.38bmac2I just want one that works
23:28.44bmac2and will both be open source
23:28.56bmac2because I want to support those projects
23:29.02bmac2but also meets the regs
23:29.04decriptorhttp://www.bandit-project.org/
23:29.08bmac2and is easy for my users
23:29.09bmac2k
23:29.14bmac2let me scope that one out
23:29.17bmac2have you used it?
23:29.25decriptorwiat
23:29.26decriptorwait
23:29.33decriptormight be more of a framework than a solution
23:30.04bmac2yep
23:30.10bmac2looks like more of a dev framework
23:30.36decriptorcode be... novell's identity manager is a killer app, and I think they are the ones that work on this.
23:31.02decriptoridentity manager does exactly what you want and then 100 times more... but its not open source
23:31.18bmac2my boss doesn't mind buying shit
23:31.28bmac2I am the one who keeps pushing open source stuff
23:31.37decriptorI've worked with it... pretty cool stuff as far as being able to syncing X systems (mysql, edir, AD, postgres, etc)
23:31.40bmac2he likes the freebsd and open source for production
23:32.29decriptornice web interface to take care of all of it too.  Ideal for big companies
23:32.43decriptorthough always good to push the open source
23:32.47decriptorso, good luck on that one
23:33.01bmac2as long as it encrypts our passwords
23:33.03bmac2he won't care
23:33.11bmac2and we can get to it across the netowrk
