[18:13] <highvoltage> stgraber: did you create the other one?
[18:13] <stgraber> highvoltage: yes, I'll remove it. Weird that google didn't show me that one and very weird that they let me create a duplicate :)
[18:15] <stgraber> highvoltage: ok, I "think" it's "gone" :)
[18:15] <highvoltage> yeah at least I get a 404 for it :)
[18:16] <highvoltage> ♬ Google+ status updates yeah ♬
[18:32] <alkisg> ♬ Nice tune! ♬
[18:32] <alkisg> Btw stgraber: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/epoptes
[18:37] <stgraber> alkisg: I know, it's in Ubuntu already
[18:37] <stgraber> alkisg: I synced it a few minutes after it got in Debian
[18:37] <alkisg> Wow, cool! When will we see it in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=epoptes ?
[18:38] <stgraber> stgraber@castiana:~$ rmadison epoptes epoptes |    0.3.1-1 | precise/universe | source, all
[18:38] <stgraber> stgraber@castiana:~$ rmadison epoptes epoptes |    0.3.1-1 | precise/universe | source, all
[18:38] <stgraber> stgraber@castiana:~$ rmadison epoptes epoptes |    0.3.1-1 | precise/universe | source, all
[18:38] <stgraber> ... broken copy/paste :)
[18:38] <alkisg> :)
[18:38] <stgraber> I guess it'll show up on packages.ubuntu.com whenever that thing gets updated (can take a few days)
[19:44] <highvoltage> whohoo

[15:32] <whiskeydog> Hello! Wanted to say a quick hi before I lurked for a while; huge fan of ubuntu budgie, been motivated to possibly eventually try and contribute in my out-of-work time. Figured it would be best to watch discourse in here for a while before trying to dive in, but I've never contributed to anything linux-distro related before, so if anyone here feels like offering a small amount of guidance on where to
[15:32] <whiskeydog> even start with such a task, that'd be fantastic. Regardless, keep up the good work, I'm gonna settle in to lurk now. :)
[15:44] <fossfreedom> whiskeydog, hi and welcome
[15:45] <fossfreedom> most discussion actually occurs here https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org
[15:46] <fossfreedom> in terms of contributing - anything and everything is welcome ... just depends really what interests you
[15:47] <whiskeydog> i'm a software engineer, have been for a while. would love to contribute, i figure starting with simple bugfixes or small features. i was already digging through discourse, so i'll continue to to do so.
[15:48] <fossfreedom> great - any specific languages - or languages that you would like to get more experience with?
[15:49] <whiskeydog> honestly i want the experience of contributing to a large scale OSS project the most
[15:49] <whiskeydog> i figure i'm going to have to dig into valla to contribute meaningfully, which is fine. languages are languages.
[15:50] <fossfreedom> ah - that means looking through upstream https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop ... lots of issues ... various tags for "first time" etc for things to get started with
[15:51] <fossfreedom> alternatively, the UB team is currently very interested in helping out with this project https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder - its a key part of 19.04 and beyond
[15:52] <whiskeydog> fantastic! same deal, start looking for beginner issues and just toss in a pull request?
[15:53] <fossfreedom> sure
[15:53] <whiskeydog> i do appreciate your help, even though i've been at this a very long time the thought of diving into anything distro-related has been daunting to me
[15:54] <whiskeydog> i've liked UB enough that i think my motivation to contribute and help keep it alive has outweighed my anxiety in this case
[15:54] <fossfreedom> happy to help - I'm more around on our discourse site - so if you can't find me here ... throw something there and I'll get back to you.
[15:54] <whiskeydog> thank you very much
[15:54] <whiskeydog> greatly appreciated
[15:54] <fossfreedom> yw
