theCoreLaserJock: ping12:57
LaserJocktheCore: hi12:59
theCoreLaserJock: how the Packaging Guide is going?01:00
LaserJockwell, I haven't really worked on it for a while01:01
LaserJockI plan on getting back on it shortly01:01
LaserJocktrying to work on Feature Freeze and Universe Freeze stuff01:01
theCoreLaserJock: I plan to do that too01:01
=== bimberi [n=bimberi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #ubuntu-doc
theCoreoh, when the Freezes are? I was searching for dates01:02
theCoreLaserJock: it is a good idea to wait for the freezes, btw01:03
Burgundaviawiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule01:03
theCoreBurgundavia: thanks01:03
theCore``Schedule as iCal'', I personally find this ironic...01:08
LaserJockwhy?01:08
theCoreiCal is for OS X, isn't it?01:09
LaserJockwell, but the iCal format can be read by many apps01:09
LaserJockand yeah, I use iCal in OS X so that's nice too ;-)01:10
theCorereally? I didn't knew that 01:10
theCorehehe01:10
theCorepersonally, I lost all the interest I had for OS X, for Ubuntu01:11
trappistI still think OS X is sexy01:11
trappistI get a little jealous when I see the mac guys dragging their windows around so smoothly.  hopefully that'll stop when xgl/aiglx stabilizes.01:13
theCoretrappist: good GUI is nice, but it worth nothing if you're in closed system01:13
trappistyeah that is a bummer01:13
theCorebut I don't want to pullute -doc with that...01:13
LaserJockthere is a lot of open source stuff for/on OS X01:15
LaserJockit could certainly be better01:15
LaserJockbut it could also be worse01:15
=== gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
theCoreLaserJock: and what about the file formats of their apps?01:19
LaserJockdepends on the app01:19
theCoreit's not what I heard, lately ...01:20
LaserJockhuh?01:21
LaserJockthere are many OS X apps that are opensource01:21
LaserJockand Apple even open sources some stuff01:22
LaserJockI think Apple is much closer than MS01:22
Burgundaviaand many that are not01:22
theCoreI meant from Apple01:22
LaserJockI'm decently optimistic for Apple although I haven't been around it much01:23
LaserJockalthough it is nowhere close to  most Linux distros in that regard01:26
theCoreLaserJock: http://peadrop.com/mac2ubuntu.html, this might give you an overall idea of the situation I see now01:39
LaserJocktheCore: some good reading01:45
theCoreLaserJock: indeed01:45
LaserJockhowever, I get to keep OS X so I'm trying to make the best of the situation, finding lots of open source software etc.01:49
LaserJockso besides OS X itself, I pretty much us all open source software on it01:50
LaserJockwhich is much more than I can say for Windows01:50
theCoreLaserJock: for you it isn't a problem, because you didn't had to pay the Apple tax 01:51
LaserJocksure01:52
theCoreLaserJock: and you can fill Windows with open-source apps01:52
LaserJockI don't find much open source for Windows01:52
LaserJockbut maybe I'm not looking hard enough01:52
LaserJockanyway01:52
LaserJockway OT and I can't really get rid of OS X anyway so no sense in me grumbling about it01:53
theCorelike I said before, I don't want to pollute -doc with this, it isn't useful at all01:53
LaserJock:-)01:54
theCoreI better spend my time improving open-source apps, rather than waste everyone else by trashing other peoples apps01:55
theCoreelse time*01:55
