| DPic | could a team be created to try to create a machine that is fully supported by gobuntu by contacting vendors of each of the necessary component to fully open up one piece of hardware for the project? | 20:33 |

| Burgundavia | DPic: it would be fairly easy to construct such a machine | 20:45 |
| Burgundavia | DPic: buy an intel mobo with integrated wifi/eth/graphics | 20:45 |
| MenZa | heh | 20:53 |
| MenZa | are Intel drivers open, Burgundavia? | 20:53 |
| MenZa | I thought they were free (beer), but not free (freedom) | 20:54 |
| poningru | no they are | 20:55 |
| poningru | free as in freedom | 20:55 |
| poningru | there are many laptops like that | 20:55 |
| MenZa | :) | 20:55 |
| MenZa | Intel makes me happy. | 20:55 |
| MenZa | I installed Ubuntu on a fully-Intel'ed laptop for a friend | 20:55 |
| MenZa | Booted, set screen res correctly, sound worked, automatically connected to their wlan | 20:55 |
| MenZa | It was quite amazing | 20:55 |
| poningru | indeed | 20:56 |
| poningru | I think what we should start doing is a campaign called 100ubuntu | 20:56 |
| poningru | list of laptops and features that work 100 percent out of the box in ubuntu | 20:56 |
| poningru | canonical would test these things and give them that mark | 20:57 |
| poningru | if we want we can also do acording to supported versions too | 20:57 |
| poningru | like 100 ubuntu 7.04 | 20:57 |
| poningru | the unfortunate thing is ofcourse I dont think some of the hardware compatibility carries over | 20:59 |

| Burgundavia | MenZa: the new Intel drivers need no firmware, so yes | 21:29 |
| DPic | about the gobuntu machine-- isn't it not just about drivers, it's also about the firmware | 22:39 |
| Burgundavia | DPic: the new intel wireless drivers require no firmware | 22:41 |
| DPic | hmm then how about a place where all gobuntu supported hardware can be found? | 22:43 |
