_sarahello12:53
_saraanyone here12:54
RichJhiya _sara !12:55
=== RichJ is nixternal btw
=== RichJ switches to other client
nixternalhiya _sara ;)12:55
_sarahey Rich :)12:55
_saraI  saw that you picked up the UWN12:56
nixternalya, how i did that i will never know ;)12:57
_saraI was wondering if you need any help12:57
nixternalas well as being a Fridge dev now12:57
nixternalwe always need help with the UWN12:57
nixternalCorey is currently restructuring the layout12:57
_sarawhat kind of help, maybe we can actually work togheter an make it work with the magazine12:57
_saraMy Linux went capum!!! for a few days, but I am back on now12:58
nixternalhehe12:58
nixternalright now the UWN is pretty much a recap in the world of the developers and other community teams12:59
nixternalso, in order to publish the UWN, I have had to spend at least a good 8 hours to get information for it by scouring the mailing lists...the security updates and simple community news is easy12:59
_saraso what do yout hink we could do to make it more attractive to others?12:59
nixternalbut the updates, new to edgy, community meetings/minutes is the real kicker to it01:00
_saraohh01:00
nixternalright now, i don't think anyone outside of the community actually reads it, unless they catch it on the fridge and it interests them, or they of course subscribe to the new-list01:00
_saraI mean actuall community people that are not developers, just users01:01
nixternali received an email from sabdfl about how I have gone forward with the UWN and he likes the direction of it, and stated he would enjoy to see the professionalism in it, for the community to read01:02
_saracool!!01:02
nixternalthe "users" will read it if someone points it to them more then likely...i don't think the news-list has a large amount of subscribers, so the fridge is it's only hope01:02
_sarathat makes sence01:02
nixternaland i got on the fridge team via working for buntudot.org01:02
_saraok01:03
nixternalall this happened while i was on vacation..so i was in mexico enjoyin' the sun and wifi at times01:03
_saraI know I remeber you saying something about that01:04
nixternali went and looked at the house i almost bought, well now it is just a little piece of property since the owner burnt it down for insurance money01:04
nixternalim moving to mexico one of these days01:04
nixternali will get there ;)01:04
_saraWell I have to get back to work on this magazine issue thing, I think that John has a good ised with the whole blog, video thing so we might take a turn on that direction, but at this point in time we need something01:05
_saraI am from latin America, but prefer the USA01:05
nixternalw/o a doubt01:05
nixternalhehe, im from the USA but prefer latin america ;)01:05
_saramaybe if I was  a millinair i would move back01:05
nixternalhehe, i have noticed the prices for sure, especially in cabo01:06
nixternaljalisco has some nice places for good prices, and i could get an IT job with the tequila manufacturers there easily if needed01:06
_sarawell that sounds  like a plan01:08
=== bimberi [n=bimberi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
_sarawell I cam here to see what others though about the video, blog way on making a magazine, should I go that direction01:08
nixternaljohnlittle has done an amazing job with the video stuff and has a great idea and future plan01:10
nixternalnow getting people to do the videos is what we need, as well as screencasts01:10
_saraI have not seeing that, I remember writting an e-mail about it and getting some feedback but I don't remmber actaulyl seeing that01:11
_sarawhere can I take alook at that01:12
nixternalwww.ubuntuvideos.com i think01:13
nixternalhmmm01:13
nixternalHi there.01:13
nixternaljohnlittle: ping?01:13
_saraohh, it says hi there01:13
nixternalhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/UbuntuVideo01:14
nixternalthere is the wiki page he created01:14
nixternalhe is make some changes and adding a lot of stuff, i do know that...that "Hi there..." could be his server message for "work being done"01:14
nixternalhttp://www.ubuntuvideo.com/01:15
nixternalthat is the link there01:15
_saraok thnaks, so I guess that I no longer have a job01:16
bimbericuspweb01:16
nixternalheh, i wouldn't say that, you have the "Magazine"!!!!01:16
bimberigah, wrong window :)01:16
_sarawait, I am confused because this is what we started working on so perhaps there is some duplication of work, or maybe overlapping01:17
nixternalOMG, that dual monitor XGL thing was awesome!01:17
_saraI swa that too i wish I had dual monitors01:17
nixternaloh, i didn't know that, concerning the video stuff01:18
nixternali have dual, actually quad monitors, but i don't have XGL01:18
nixternali don't think my computers are strong enough for XGL either01:18
_saramaybe I need to get in touch with John Little so we don't duplicate stuff, our stuff is different01:18
_saraok have to go back to work01:19
nixternalarlighty, talk to you later sara!01:19
nixternaltake care01:19

SteveMyershere's the deal, with launch pad you have to wait and you don't get a chance into getting reviewed, but I was thinking more of the lines of UbuntuForums as my chances are higher02:09
SteveMyersbut if you know someone who can review me from launchpad, then I will signup, I just need to find my login for launchpad02:10
johnlittleThe instructions say sign up at launchpad...not sure if theres another way02:10

whiprushit's in every release note, and every annnouncement.07:55

adamant1988hey all10:01
Burgundaviahey adamant198810:01
adamant1988how's everyone?10:02
adamant1988Man the fedora community makes me appreciate Ubuntu's so much more.10:02
adamant1988I went in to ask them about an article I read in the fedora weekly news and I was called a troll and other things =\10:03
Burgundaviahmm, debian has a bit of that too10:03
Burgundaviasometimes Ubuntu can exhibit that side of humanity, but the lid is usually keeps a lid on it10:03
adamant1988yeah, pretty upsetting stuff... I was thinking about installing FC.. but I'm not sure I want to deal with them.10:04
Madpilotadamant1988, you could install Gentoo, and go brave #gentoo :)10:14
adamant1988hehe Madpilot I have no interest... My interest in fedora core is strictly nostalgic anyway... I used red hat 7.1 as my first distro, so I feel some odd sense of attachment to red hat products.10:17
Burgundaviamany people first used Linux as an RH product10:17
mdkeMadpilot: hey, #gentoo is nice!10:18
mdkeisn't it?10:18
Madpilotnot always10:18
Madpilotgot into chatting with someone in -offtopic a while ago, they had some... interesting... tales10:18
mdkeI found it good, I must say10:19
Madpilotmaybe the rep is exaggerated; I've never had any reason to visit #gentoo myself, I'll admint10:20
Madpilotadmit, even10:20
mdkeforums are good too10:20
MadpilotI know the gentoo wiki is massive, and seems well put together10:20
Burgundaviayes, it is10:21
adamant1988I know the rep for debian isn't exaggerated10:21
Burgundaviathey have had much longer at it than we have10:21
adamant1988to prove it I went into #debian and said that I used linspire in passing.10:21
mdkeyes, debian is much less friendly10:21
adamant1988I was informed that I was lucky that bullets did not travel well through the net.10:21
mdkeI suppose it's a matter of personal experience10:21
mdkeI went to #debian with a question about a genuine debian system that I ran, but they refused to answer and flamed me because they saw that I was joined in various #ubuntu-* channels10:22
