May I know your Nautilus version?

Hello @Ahmed_Ramadan ! Welcome aboard. Please, read the rules in the pinned message.

Hi everyone. what is the advantages of using mariaDB over mysql? ( beside the fact that mariaDB is open source )

Anyway, is a decision from 9 admins, not just one.

Just to clarify on earlier discussion about moderators (since I think it's good to be transparent), it is actually a process that involves all current admins of the group to nominate and vote on new moderators. We have a private group to discuss things like that, but no, I don't make all the decisions – it's a team, not a dictator. ? If anyone has a nomination, I encourage you to reach out privately to an admin so we can forward the nomination on to our group to discuss.

It would be so anti-Fedora to have a dictator taking all the decisions....

@Ahmed_Ramadan Hello, and welcome! ?

Hah, yeah. ? Plus there's no way I could manage this all myself anyways, it's a team effort

Yeah, the group grew a lot since it was firstly opened.

Actually, when a friend gave me my first Fedora CD, he explained me a bit about the comunity and so, and that was one of the things I loved the most. That decisions are voted.

Does anyone use MariaDB ?

I think @Wolfshappen commented something long ago, but I can't recall.

Heh, yeah. Fun fact, this group was actually the Flock 2015 group chat first. If you use the right search keywords, you can messages from back then. ?

Dynamic column support and better supportability for Galera

That's how I got to know Telegram, through this group and FLOCK

Flock was great, I hope the next European one will be somewhere close enough to my place for me to attend

The ARIA table format and way quicker improvements by the community.

Else the underlying design, performance and similar issues are still all there so if you want a well-oiled, robust dbms look at postgresql.

May I know your Nautilus version?

3.26.2

Were you at the Flock in Kraków???

Were you at the Flock in Kraków???

yeah, I even took you to the coffee place in the shopping mall on the first day ;)

I was in that FLOCK.

Who...?

I'm trying to remember.

Obviously, one of the Poles, but...

Well, my memory for names is terrible.

I'm trying to remember.

Michal, just like my screen name here ;) but I wasn't really standing out, so I wouldn't be suprised if we didn't meet

Which talks did you attend?

If you don't mind to say.

Which talks did you attend?

I don't really remember all of them, but the one about i18n, packaging Chromium, I was at the one about designing badges

I didn't attend the Chromium one, but I was the other two.

Very likely we met.

Are you the guy in your profile pic? Not the bear.

the one about Zanata, ARM

yeah

You look familiar. Probably I saw you but didn't talk.

Fedora in the Classroom... ah, the memories, I think I will have to come to the next European one

Ah, I was there!

I'm rather a quiet guy ;) but I promise to do better next time

Fedora in the Classroom was my favorite.

Haha, okay. I'm quiet with strangers.

I liked the one about building the kernels. TBH I've never used the knowledge later, but it's good to know that building kernel RPMs is so easy

Yeah, true.

No, I wasn't there.

yeah, I even took you to the coffee place in the shopping mall on the first day ;)

!!! This is the weirdest moment of realization ever!

I had no idea that was you ??

Hahaha

You recognised him!

I hope we can steal you again for next year's Flock!

You recognised him!

I do remember! He did take us and a few others for coffee. ?

My mind was just blown

I hope we can steal you again for next year's Flock!

will try ;) it's definitely one of the more important events for me, it was so much fun and at the same time I've learned so much

but it was easy in Kraków since I've got friends there and I've stayed over

Felices fiestas a todos. Un saludo.

I think he sent a message to the wrong channel.

Alternatively, the call for Flock bids in 2018 is open, and I know some others in Poland were considering a bit for another city… I forget which one.

I wouldn't mind to go to Poland again.

Is there any chance Flock will be in Russia?

If anyone applies for a Russian city and it's a nice bid... I suppose there would be no problem.

How many "anyones" must apply?)

Or it can be just someone, who can organize it, find a place etc?

Only one applies. But it's better if he or she has other people to help with the organisation.

Or it can be just someone, who can organize it, find a place etc?

It can be anyone, but it would be a lot of work for a single person. However, I would bet there's other people interested in a Russia bid too. ?

?

It's a huge work. It's hard if it's only one person to do everything.

Think so, but there are people from different cities. Anyways, would be great :)

They all can apply.

I personally would love to see a bid for a Russian city

Bids are per city not per country

It's a huge work. It's hard if it's only one person to do everything.

Just for applying. Of course the organization is not a one-person-work :)

+1. A few people makes it all a little more manageable. ?

Where can I make a bid?

Ah, I understand. The bid is presented on its own, and then there is a team of volunteers who are the organizers for the bid, usually.

I know, I tried to organise a FAD while I was in Montevideo. It was a lot of work.

Where can I make a bid?

Good question. One of our admins, Brian, is best able to answer, but I think he is on holiday and probably not looking at Telegram much. Let me try and find you a guide.

Where can I make a bid?

There's a website if I'm not wrong. I can look up, I think I have the details somewhere.

Yeah, @bexelbie knows better.

Thanks, guys. Will either wait for him, or try to find by myself.

Looks like we're answering almost the same @jflory ....

Flock 2018 bids have closed. We will reopen if no bid works out. The next Europe flock, assuming no changes would be 2020.

I just noticed in the article. Thanks for the clarification.

We have not announced the 2018 location yet.

We have not announced the 2018 location yet.

How a decision is being made about which bid to choose?

We look at the questions asked and our resources. Our goal is variety with the ability to have maximum participation.

Got it, thanks.

Which are the cities? Is it possible to know?

Hi Вязаные-спицами ! Welcome to the group, please read the rules in the pinned message.

Hmm...What can you say about BLAG (That Fedora 14-based distro which is accepted by GNU)? Is it cool or not?

I didn't know it even existed.

But if it's based on Fedora 14, that's a long time ago.

FSF-distros usually a bit old

That's not old, that's ancient.

Debian 1.1 is ancient, Fedora 14 was the WinXP contemporary, i suppose, not so old
