[06:47] <MitchM_> ls -l
[06:47] <MitchM_> ping ?
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> pong
[06:55] <Whit3Rabbit__> *shrugs*
[06:55] <Whit3Rabbit__> internet problems ^.^
[06:56] <Mitch> so has jenda been running around tonight?
[06:56] <nixternal> jenda is gone again for a week or so
[06:56] <Mitch> bah.
[06:56] <Mitch> thanks =)
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Speaking of whom, what were the 'complaints' that made ubuntupeople.com shut down, and will the site ever come back up under new administration?
[06:57] <nixternal> guy who ran it didn't like the fact he wasnt' in control..and no it will never come back
[06:57] <poningru> tonyyarusso: the point of that was to bring marketing more into lp/ubuntuforums
[06:57] <Burgundavia> tonyyarusso: we are better we off without a duplicative forum
[06:57] <nixternal> ubuntupeople was to become spreadubuntu
[06:58] <Burgundavia> who was running it again?
[06:58] <Mitch> off to go play my nightly dos of video games.
[06:58] <Mitch> cheers
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> poningru: Ah.  Shouldn't the page just go away entirely then, rather than having that message?  Or maybe "See <link to lp>"?
[06:58] <nixternal> something lloyd i think
[06:58] <nixternal> i can't remember his name
[07:02] <ormiret> whois says Lloyd Hardy, and it is up to him what the page says not us.
[07:02] <nixternal> ya
[07:14] <Burgundavia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LloydHardy?action=diff&rev2=11&rev1=1
[07:24] <johnlittle> wtf
[07:36] <nixternal> hey, watch that tone of voice in here ;)
[10:19] <livingdaylight> YO!
[10:19] <livingdaylight> mornin Folks
[10:19] <livingdaylight> G'day to ya Alz!
[10:20] <livingdaylight> is this another dead ubuntu channel?
[10:21] <Madpilot> actually, this is usually a fairly active channel - just not tonight, I guess
[10:21] <livingdaylight> i was wondering where i might get a leaflet ?
[10:22] <Madpilot> a leaflet explaining Ubuntu?
[10:22] <livingdaylight> in the Examples folder there is a Kubuntu 'leaflet' and i wanted an Ubuntu version to print off so i could put my extra ubuntu discs i ordered in a library
[10:24] <livingdaylight> hmmmm......
[10:24] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, looks like a cool leaflet - don't think there's an Ubuntu version yet
[10:25] <livingdaylight> Madpilot: if i was a bit of a gimp mage i coult just replace the k with the u but that would be beyond my gimp skills repertoire
[10:26] <livingdaylight> why put a kubuntu leaflet and not the ubuntu version when that has to be more popular version
[10:26] <Madpilot> well, there are other differences between Kubuntu & Ubuntu aside from the one consonant ;)
[10:26] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, because someone made the Kubuntu one, and there was no Ubuntu one
[10:27] <livingdaylight> let me see: as far as i recall its a basic intro to linux and ubuntu
[10:28] <Madpilot> most of that would be a straight cut-n-paste to produce a Ubuntu version
[10:29] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, if you want to help produce an Ubuntu version of that, that would be cool
[10:35] <livingdaylight> Madpilot: sorry, got disconnected
[10:36] <Madpilot> np. did you see my last comment, about helping to produce an Ubuntu version of that pamphlet?
[10:36] <livingdaylight> sure i'd like to make an Ubuntu version, i think it would be nice. But like i said i am not a Gimp Mage
[10:36] <livingdaylight> it goes beyond my reportoire of gimp skills
[10:37] <livingdaylight> which are basically reducing an image to an acceptable Avatar size  :D
[10:37] <Madpilot> actually, Inkscape would be better for that type of project. It handles text far better than the GIMP
[10:37] <livingdaylight> ok!
[10:38] <livingdaylight> well, it would be a very steep learning-curve for me
[10:38] <livingdaylight> but you sound like somone who could knock it out in 5 minutes
[10:39] <livingdaylight>  :D
[10:40] <Madpilot> if you write the text and email it to me, I could have it prettied up in Inkscape in an hour or so, I think ;)
[10:41] <livingdaylight> woah! ok, but the text is just a matter of replacing kubuntu with ubuntu pretty much isn't it?
[10:42] <Madpilot> most of it is
[10:43] <Madpilot> the stuff at the top of the righthand column would have to be re-written
[10:45] <livingdaylight> the paragraph of what Kubuntu includes?
[10:46] <livingdaylight> yes, aguess ubuntu doesn't include Konqueror or Kontact
[10:46] <Madpilot> no
[10:46] <livingdaylight>  ;)
[10:46] <Madpilot> Evolution for email, Nautilus for file management, Firefox for browsing
[10:47] <livingdaylight> so, just replace those three words, huh?
[10:50] <Madpilot> not sure, have a look thru the text properly first
[10:54] <livingdaylight> so, ok, descriptions for evolution, Nautilus and Firefox are differnt from those corresponding kubuntu ones. but no big deal. just a brief explanation of each application
[10:54] <livingdaylight> i'd be happy to do it but gimp and inkscape are not within my repertoire
[10:54] <livingdaylight> i'm looking at it from inkspace now
[10:55] <livingdaylight> how would i take out a section and replace it with my own write up?
[10:55] <livingdaylight> especialy teh logo ubuntu wants to be inteh same font as teh rest to remain congruent with the rest of teh leaflet
[10:58] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, if you want to do the writing & email it to me - blurdesign@gmail.com - I'll do the design from scratch in Inkscape
[10:59] <KenSentMe> Madpilot: i wouldn't paste your email in here, this channel is being logged
[10:59] <Madpilot> pfft.
[10:59] <Madpilot> Gmail has awesome spam filters :)
[11:00] <KenSentMe> Madpilot: good way to test them ;)
[11:00] <Madpilot> it's not like it isn't already all over the web
[11:00] <KenSentMe> Madpilot: it was just a tip
[11:00] <Madpilot> I know, but it's not something I worry about, personally.
[11:01] <KenSentMe> Well, that's up to you
[11:01] <livingdaylight> i can vouch for gmail's powerful spam filters
[11:01] <livingdaylight> my box is full!
[11:02] <livingdaylight> Madpilot: ok, i'll be in touch
[11:04] <Madpilot> http://www.warbard.ca/temp/ubuntu-pamphlet01.png
[11:04] <Madpilot> basic graphics done
[11:04] <livingdaylight> wow, NICE!
[11:05] <livingdaylight> i gotta learn that stuff. cant be hard right?
[11:05] <Madpilot> Inkscape is awesome, and not that hard to get into
[11:05] <Madpilot> far easier to learn than the gimp, I think
[11:06] <livingdaylight> is there a good tutorial for beginners?
[11:06] <Madpilot> there are several - just a sec, I'll find the URLs
[11:06] <Madpilot> http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/
[11:07] <livingdaylight> Thank you, i've bookmarked that
[11:07] <Madpilot> that one ^^^, and check the onboard help files inside Inkscape - they're very well done, and almost all in SVG, so you can learn by rearranging the entire help file :)
[11:08] <livingdaylight> and the text: is there an Ubuntu font or do you just copy and paste and then rearrange the size?
[11:08] <Madpilot> no, there's an Ubuntu font
[11:08] <livingdaylight> ok, why havn't i got that in my font dropdown then?
[11:08] <livingdaylight> do i need to install that extra?
[11:09] <livingdaylight> i'd a thought that comes default
[11:09] <Madpilot> it's in the repos, actually. search Synaptic for ubuntu font
[11:09] <livingdaylight> k
[11:10] <Madpilot> found it - ttf-ubuntu-title
[11:10] <livingdaylight> Yea, now we're talking  ;)
[11:11] <livingdaylight> ... it
[11:11] <livingdaylight> was made available by Canonical under the LGPL to make rebranding
[11:11] <livingdaylight> of Ubuntu easier.
[11:11] <livingdaylight> isn't that sweet?
[11:12] <Madpilot> very useful
[11:17] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, don't worry about fonts - just send me the text, I'll do the formatting on this ned
[11:17] <Madpilot> end, even
[11:21] <livingdaylight> and even?
[11:22] <Madpilot> just correcting my misspelling of 'end' on the previous line
[11:22] <livingdaylight> sorry :)
[11:22] <livingdaylight> k
[11:30] <Madpilot> anyway, it's 0230 and I need sleep.
[11:30] <Madpilot> livingdaylight, email me that text when you've got it, we can edit back and forth then I'll fire it into Inkscape.
[11:31] <livingdaylight> ok, Madpilot
[11:31] <Madpilot> night
[11:31] <livingdaylight> nite
[05:55] <Ckenyon> ,
[06:35] <nixternal> Burgwork: you realize there is a UWN team on LP? ;)  first time i just noticed it
[06:37] <Burgwork> nixternal, no, never noticed it
[06:37] <nixternal> https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-newsletter
[06:37] <nixternal> heh, it is the originators of the UWN i guess
[06:38] <nixternal> also, have we decided to switch the template on the UWN as well to the one you used originally?  i know it got swapped back here by mistake
[06:38] <nixternal> i want to edit the main template to prevent that from happening again
[06:38] <Burgwork> sure, sounds good
[06:38] <nixternal> k..i will do that here in a few, and fire up the next edition as well while im at it
[06:38] <nixternal> i will start contributing some stuff today
[06:39] <Burgwork> excellent
[10:13] <nixternal> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEgUTkWi-zU
[10:14] <nixternal> that is cool!
[11:19] <nixternal> Burgwork: you know where the Ubuntu California people got their booth setup?  there could possibly be a tradeshow in Chicago in the near future called "Uberfest"
[11:19] <nixternal> it is something the LUGs are currently puting together
[11:19] <Burgwork> nixternal, their stuff came from canonical
[11:19] <Burgwork> they only had one banner
[11:19] <nixternal> i seen the nice lookin' setup they had in the pictures..looked like more than 1 banner...
[11:20] <Burgwork> that was canonicals booth
[11:20] <nixternal> ahhh
[11:20] <Burgwork> the large wall banner?
[11:20] <nixternal> well then, i will strike up conversation with Canonical and let htem know that there is an interest here in Chicago for a FOSS tradeshow, and right now Red Hat and Google have expressed their interest since they are in Chicago
[11:21] <nixternal> i didn't see the california setup..i was referring to the canonical setup
[11:22] <Burgwork> the ca setup was one banner that canonical brought with them
[11:23] <nixternal> who would you recommend i contact at canonical to see if they would even be interested first off?
[11:24] <nixternal> it is easy for us to create banners, as we have a couple of "Printers" on the team
[11:24] <Burgwork> jane
[11:24] <nixternal> kind of thought she would be..cool..thank you sir
[11:25] <Burgwork> in the future, this kind of thing will be jono's
[11:25] <nixternal> ooh good point
[11:25] <nixternal> will keep that in my mind..as this isn't happening for probably another 3 to 6 months
[11:25] <nixternal> im leaning towards the 6 months
[11:28] <Burgwork> nixternal, you tell adam that he is rich and should help finance it
[11:28] <nixternal> heh, he is helping me possibly with a booth already ;)
