FOSS Tutorials

Worcester farm group is interested in having some FOSS tutorials. Perhaps:

  • how to do basic labels in GIMP,
  • work through a few sample spreadsheets related to seed cost and
  • similarly applicable real-world situations, depending on the needs of the group

Basically how to do graph design & product management with open source tools. Malt will put together a one paragraph description of what we need and we can mail it out to ask pirates to help.

21:25 <@jokeefe> how did Sunday’s recording go?
21:25 < srevilak> some improvisation
21:26 < Pirate_Joe> You should watch it!
21:26 < srevilak> We have a recording, currently private on youtube
        channel
21:26 <@jokeefe> ok. do you want me to make it public?
21:26 < srevilak> may need some editing
21:26 < Pirate_Joe> Well I think. Please review and determine what would
        be best.
21:26 < srevilak> (just removal of dead air and such)
21:27 < Pirate_Joe> We hit a lot of good points but was done from my
        phone. Have a few bloopers.
21:28 < srevilak> Pirate_Joe made a respectable effort nonetheless
21:28 <@jokeefe> ok. will look it over
21:28 < Pirate_Joe> Honestly I would not mind publishing the entire cast
        but some editing would be better.
21:29 <@jokeefe> more pauses than usual?
21:29 < Pirate_Joe> If you have the time.
21:29 < Pirate_Joe> And distractions.
21:29 <@jokeefe> public it goes then! ;-)
21:30 <@jokeefe> When should we record the next one?
21:30 < Pirate_Joe> I think at the picnic.
21:31 < Pirate_Joe> Or this Sunday.
21:32 < Pirate_Joe> For some reason I thought the picnic was this
        coming weekend.
21:32 <@jokeefe> Next weekend
21:32 <@jokeefe> 30th
21:33 < Pirate_Joe> I should have good availability this Sunday then.
21:33 <@jokeefe> I am open Sunday
21:33 <@jokeefe> When works?
21:34 < srevilak> I have 11a vet appointment.  I could do 12:00 or 12:30
21:34 < Pirate_Joe> Shoot for 10 or 8 PM?
21:35 <@jokeefe> ahoy
21:35 < Malt> Hi
21:35 < srevilak> hi Malt
21:35 <@jokeefe> Morning videos have more light
21:35 < Malt> Sam capradae, Worcester
21:36 <@jokeefe> talking about when to record Sunday
21:36 < Malt> I am occupied then, sorry
21:37 <@jokeefe> Dang
21:37 < Pirate_Joe> ^
21:38 < srevilak> I could do 10a Sunday
21:38 < Pirate_Joe> Maybe next video. I am going to be going more
        technical for this next video
21:38 <@jokeefe> Technical is good. What did you have in mind?
21:39 < Pirate_Joe> I want to discuss surveillance and gun fire detection
        units.
21:39 < Malt> Those things never work
21:39 < Malt> Go after em
21:39 < Pirate_Joe> Then finish with illegal spying.
21:39 < Pirate_Joe> Gov/private
21:40 < Pirate_Joe> Close on representing the picnic
21:41 < srevilak> sounds good
21:41 <@jokeefe> I agree.
21:41 <@jokeefe> So 10am?
21:41 < Pirate_Joe> Aye
21:42 < srevilak> I have a hard stop, so no dilly dallying :)
21:42 < Pirate_Joe> That seems like a good time most of the time..... want
        to make that our regular schedule?
21:43 < srevilak> I'm okay with that
21:43 < Pirate_Joe> I will try to be brief on each one.
21:43 < Pirate_Joe> "Try"
21:44  * Pirate_Joe actually does the air quotes even though no one
        is watching.
21:44 <@jokeefe> try is fine
21:44 <@jokeefe> 10am Sunday.
21:44 <@jokeefe> it is then
21:44 < Pirate_Joe> That is all I have.
21:44 <@jokeefe> Sorry you won’t be able to join us Malt
21:45 < Malt> :(
21:45 < Malt> I got a pair of gigs that day
21:45 <@jokeefe> Good luck!
21:46 <@jokeefe> igel[m] - any update on Mesh Nets?
21:47 <@jokeefe> Cryptoparties - Somerville one is this Wednesday on
       2FA devices like YubiKeys

        old version of CiviCRM
21:49 <@jokeefe> next one is July 13th, 11am-1pm, Arlington
21:50 < srevilak> yes, a pleasantly uneventful upgrade
21:50 < srevilak> (as opposed to an unpleasantly eventful one)
21:50 < Malt> Nice
21:51 <@jokeefe> aye that
21:52 <@jokeefe> That is all I have. Been a bit busy of late.
21:53 < Pirate_Joe> Motion to adjourn?
