Kshitij
|
| 13:33 : prarora98 |
I am Prateek Arora
|
| 13:33 : mbuf |
Before I open the floor for questions, there are some basic things I want to talk based on the interaction that we have had so far
|
| 13:33 : AdityaPatil |
Aditya Patil
|
| 13:33 : mbuf |
1. Please do not use SMS speak in this channel or in the mailing list, or anywhere else
|
| 13:34 : |
It is considered very unprofessional to use SMS speak. We have already seen people use "plz", "sols" etc.
|
| 13:34 : sai_ |
!
|
| 13:34 : mbuf |
Acronyms are fine (and exceptions)
|
| 13:34 : |
2. Every session is important. There is something to learn from every session. So, do no treat a session as not important.
|
| 13:35 : |
We want you to get your foundation correct, so that you can stand on that to contribute to F/OSS
|
| 13:35 : |
You should always be in a state where you are eager to learn more, and not have an attitude or approach that "I know everything"; this will not take you much further
|
| 13:36 : Noory |
Noory
|
| 13:36 : kps_ |
Karan Pratap
|
| 13:36 : mbuf |
3. The "..." is ellipsis and has its usage. Please do not use that in this channel
|
| 13:37 : ananyo2012[m] |
Ananya Maiti
|
| 13:37 : mbuf |
4. When you are going through the training sessions, you will have to unlearn many things, and learn a lot
|
| 13:37 : |
So, you will end up saying a lot of these - "Sorry", "Please" and "Thank you"
|
| 13:37 : |
5. I see that lot of people are top-posting in the mailing list
|
| 13:38 : Vsrocketstormer |
!
|
| 13:38 : mbuf |
When you write your answers in your exams, you write it below the question and not above the question
|
| 13:38 : thematrjx |
!
|
| 13:38 : mbuf |
The following is an example of a top-post, http://lists.dgplug.org/pipermail/users-dgplug.org/2018-June/001183.html
|
| 13:38 : sd30 |
!
|
| 13:38 : jasonbraganza |
questions later, please.
|
| 13:38 : Vsrocketstormer |
Ok
|
| 13:38 : |
I understand
|
| 13:38 : thematrjx |
ok
|
| 13:38 : mbuf |
The reply is above whatever was the previous e-mail, and also there is lot of over-quoting
|
| 13:39 : |
When you reply, you should quote the text that is relevant, trim your message and bottom-post, just like you will answer a question in your exam
|
| 13:39 : |
this is a good example of bottom posting, http://lists.dgplug.org/pipermail/users-dgplug.org/2018-June/001186.html
|
| 13:39 : |
When we are reading large conversations, it is important to use bottom-posting, as there is a continuous flow to the reader
|
| 13:40 : |
Top-posting is used in corporate communication, and it has its uses; but, in F/OSS mailing lists we use only bottom-posting
|
| 13:40 : |
6. Pay attention to whatever we are saying. Everything we say is important, and it is important for you to follow instructions
|
| 13:40 : jiteshpabla[m] |
Jitesh Pabla
|
| 13:41 : mbuf |
As engineers, it is important for us to communicate clearly, comprehensively so that the listener can understand what you are trying to say
|
| 13:41 : |
You can be to the point, but, it must give all the relevant technical information for others to understand
|
| 13:42 : |
There are presentations on "Free Software communication guidelines" and "Mailing list guidelines/etiquette" from http://shakthimaan.com/downloads.html
|
| 13:42 : |
As yesterday's homework, we asked you to go through the same.
|
| 13:42 : |
I will now open the floor for questions; please type "!" if you want to ask a question, and wait for your turn

Can you tell us about the various modes in IRC channels? Like you disabled talking, once. I know Google is an option but you can just specify the modes you will be using in #dgplug and also any change in weekday/weekend schedules?
|
| 13:51 : mbuf |
Arnold97, those controls are with the admins
|
| 13:51 : |
Arnold97, you might want to read on IRC ops; learn to use a search engine first; try reading documentation on the subject
|
| 13:51 : sahil9 |
!
|
| 13:51 : mbuf |
in our industry, we have to read a lot; so reading habits are essential;
|
| 13:52 : |
do some homework first, and let us know what you did to understand the subject better; we are here to guide you, but, not spoon-feed you

I've noticed that configuration options for modern email clients often don't offer bottom-posting any more. People may struggle. I've just searched for my primary client, where I can't bottom post, and the internet is no help. (i just use a different client).
|
| 13:52 : Arnold97 |
mbuf, ok.
|
| 13:53 : mbuf |
BohemianCoast, what is your question?
|
| 13:53 : BohemianCoast |
Do you have recommended clients for people who are struggling with this?
|
| 13:53 : mbuf |
BohemianCoast, Free and Open Source Software is all about freedom and choice; use the one that suits your needs

Of course, thank you.
|
| 13:53 : mbuf |
BohemianCoast, just like we cannot decide your favourite ice-cream, you have to try different clients and choose the one that you prefer
|
| 13:54 : |
BohemianCoast, F/OSS, like, any other, cannot be forced onto people; you all came here because you have the interest

Can you introduce yourself sir like what you do,what is your qualification ? So that we can get inspired by you.

mbuf, thanks for the information. May i know what are going to learn today and when the session will actually start? Thanks in advance

Sarques_, but, that doesn't add the calendar; so, you need to see how to troubleshoot that

Magnus_Carlsen, the session is on.

three ways : reply to the mail. Mail to that particular address. And, to visit that mentioned website.

I was going through mailing list etiquettes. Couldn't understand indigestible digest mode mistakes.please elaborate why is it called so?
|
| 14:15 : zappy |
how do i send a welcome email there?
|
| 14:15 : Magnus_Carlsen |
rishibit, this rule goes for any question. Sorry to interrupt, I am actually new to this
|
| 14:15 : mbuf |
sidntrivedi012, good question; some people subscribe in digest mode where they receive a single digest of all the e-mails in a week
|
| 14:16 : |
sidntrivedi012, but, when they reply to a single e-mail, they leave all the e-mails in their reply
|
| 14:16 : rishibit |
Magnus_Carlsen, np :)
|
| 14:16 : mbuf |
sidntrivedi012, which is unnecessary text; so they need to know how to trim, and reply to e-mails
|
| 14:17 : |
sidntrivedi012, otherwise, just subscribe to receive e-mails as and when they are delivered
|
| 14:17 : bhavin192 |
rishibit, what is np ? North Pole?
|
| 14:17 : mbuf |
zappy, it is just an e-mail introducing yourself

Ok. Got it.

|
| 14:19 : philomath_ |
mbuf, Thanks again :)
|
| 14:19 : BohemianCoast |
Why do you eschew modern abbreviations such as np or plz while using Latin abbreviations that are at best outdated and classist and at worst incomprehensible? Modern professional English uses neither.
|
| 14:20 : Ved_Sinha |
!
|
| 14:20 : mbuf |
BohemianCoast, not sure what you are referring to as "Modern professional English", but, we do use these in our technical documentation, and hence the reference.
