livingdaylightMadpilot: hi, again02:51
Madpilothi livingdaylight02:52
Madpilotthe pamphlet is done, basically. Did I show it to you?02:52
livingdaylightMadpilot: thought i'd pester you, yet again  :)02:52
livingdaylightMadpilot: no, still waiting for that emai02:52
livingdaylight*email02:52
Madpilotnever did send you an email - sorry02:52
livingdaylightd'love to see it  :D02:53
Madpilothttp://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_Pamphlet.svg <-- download that, load it up in Inkscape to have a look. Firefox doesn't render it properly.02:53
livingdaylightMadpilot: how do i bring that into inkspace?02:54
livingdaylightits a weburl02:54
Madpilotdownload the SVG file02:55
livingdaylightfrom where?02:55
livingdaylightsorry, i've got it in my browser and now?02:56
livingdaylighti can see it in the browser anyway, just wondering how you export that to inkscaper out of curiosity02:56
Madpilotright-click on it, choose Save File As or whatever FF calls it, save to your computer, then open the SVG file in Inkscape02:56
Madpilotit doesn't get rendered properly in Firefox, it only looks correct in Inkscape, BTW02:58
livingdaylightMadpilot: of course, sorry its 2am here and about to fall over02:58
livingdaylightMadpilot: yea! thats basically it02:59
livingdaylightdid you add or delete any text i gave you?03:00
Madpilotnot really, currently it's pretty much exactly your text, or the modified Kubuntu text03:00
livingdaylightseems all the paragraphs are there, but i haven't checked03:00
livingdaylightcool, yea looks sweet03:00
Madpilotone or two people have said they'll have an editing run thru it, but I haven't heard from them yet03:00
livingdaylightoh03:01
livingdaylightshould've told me03:01
livingdaylightso, when you say 'basically' its done. except for the editing? or what 's left?03:01
Madpilotit's usable as-is, but some of the text could do with a bit of polishing, I think. It might change slightly in the near future, but not dramatically03:02
livingdaylightincluding games of course...did you add that line? i don't remember it03:03
livingdaylightEvolution also can? or evolution can also connect ....03:04
livingdaylight?03:04
Madpilotthe games line is from the Kubuntu sheet03:05
Madpilotand it should be "can also", I think - good catch03:05
livingdaylightother than that i'm happy that the editing is good03:06

livingdaylightMadpilot: hi, yet again. had to reboot. My old keyboard cuts out sometimes.03:13
Madpilotbleh... aren't computers fun?03:13
livingdaylight :p03:14
livingdaylightso, but the text is fine. I see you altered the office.org bit a bit - i think adding the pdf bit, but thats good03:14
livingdaylightdo you make it OOo2? without a dot anywhere?03:15
livingdaylightMadpilot: when you adjust the 'can also' bit to the leaflet can you email me a copy, please? or i could just get it off you here sometime if its easier03:16
MadpilotI will - I'm about to go out for a couple of hours, but I can do the edits when I get back03:17
livingdaylightMadpilot: ok, lastly, wondered if you could do a customized version for me, adding the contact details at thebottom that i gave you :D03:18
Madpilotthe details were in the email you sent, right?03:19
livingdaylightMadpilot: yes03:19
livingdaylightMadpilot: i should really learn to figure out how to add a little text box and insert it myself but...03:19
livingdaylightMadpilot: Hey, good job, thank you03:20
Madpilotwill do, I actually have a version with an extra blank box at the bottom for local info, so your info will be easy to add03:20
livingdaylightYou gonna submit it to Ubuntu for future releases?03:20
livingdaylightMadpilot: nice03:20
Madpilotyes, I'm going to fire an email off to the marketing team mailing list tonight, probably03:20
livingdaylightthey'll be chuffed03:21
Madpilotpeople here have already seen it, at various stages of completion03:21
livingdaylighthere?03:21
livingdaylightdo you work at Ubuntu offices or something?03:22
Madpilotno, 'here' as in this channel03:22
livingdaylightNext the XFCE lot will want their version, lol  :p03:22
livingdaylightoh, ok, i c03:23
Madpilota Xubuntu version wouldn't be hard; tweak the colours, get someone to re-write the text; done.03:23
livingdaylightwell, i did the inspiration and you did the perspiration03:23
Madpilotwell, thanks for the idea - I know it'll be useful to the community!03:23
livingdaylightMadpilot: yea, there are so many *buntu versions now03:24
Madpilotonly three, plus Edubuntu, which doesn't quite count - it's not aimed at the same people as K/X/Ubunt03:24
livingdaylightMadpilot: sure, i mean when i saw the kubuntu one i thought 'great' couldn't believe there wasn't anubuntu version seeing that is the premier or official look03:25
Madpilotsome Kubuntu user got inspired :)03:25
livingdaylightyea, you gotta watch those guys03:25
Madpilotheh03:26
livingdaylightI had done my own one long ago but somone nicked it from teh library and didn't have it on disc and didn't really wanna re write my own thing all over again03:26
Madpilotanyway, must go; back in an hour or so, probably.03:27
livingdaylightMadpilot: yea, getting all inspired you know, making kubuntu look better than ubuntu, gotta watch 'em  '<03:27

Burgundaviaand I spent today riding herd on a hyperactive 12 year old07:53

Kamping_Kaiserwb. how did it go?08:21
Kamping_Kaiserhi Madpilot08:21
Madpilothi all08:21
Madpilotjust tried out Knot2 LiveCD... aside from f-spot not starting, seemed much like Dapper08:21
Burgundaviayes08:25
Burgundaviachanges are very incremental08:25
Kamping_KaiserMadpilot, :\08:26
Madpilotoh, and new wallpaper ;)08:27
=== Kamping_Kaiser hasnt noticed a new theme. wonder if i need to rm some .files
Madpilotand having to use bl**dy Gaim for IRC...08:28
Kamping_Kaiserin dapper too though wasnt it?08:28
Burgundaviahmm, Knot2 made it to the front page fo slashdot08:28
Kamping_Kaiserwow.08:29
MadpilotKamping_Kaiser, gaim as the only default IRC client? Yes, despite long protests in bug reports...08:29
Burgundaviairc is simply not used by enough of the users08:29
=== Kamping_Kaiser remembers. for casual irc its ok, for anything industrical its bad.
BurgundaviaIM is08:29
Kamping_Kaiserlogs better, but useability is crap08:29
FlannelBurgundavia: IRC is used by a good deal of users seeking help though.08:30
BurgundaviaFlannel: not really. Vastly more use the forums08:30
Burgundaviatelepathy will help solve this08:31
FlannelBurgundavia: I imagine if anyone kept logs, the amount of users in IRC has signifigantly decreased since Dapper though, because it's not readily available (GIAM technically is, but most don't know about using it for IRC)08:31
Burgundaviahmm, 760 users in #ubuntu08:31
Burgundaviathat is higher than it ever was during the dapper cycle08:32
BurgundaviaI would argue that you are incorrect08:32
Flannelpoint measurements are different though.  Theres a constant flow of people in and out.08:32
Kamping_Kaiserit hit 1000 when daper came out08:32
Burgundaviathat was a specific one off08:32
Madpilot700-800 is a pretty typical number for #ubuntu08:32
FlannelUnfortunately the forums don't display how many members are "currently" browsing.08:34
Burgundaviayes they do08:34
Burgundaviaoh, they used to] 08:34
Burgundaviahmm, they used to list current active guests and members08:35
Madpilothaven't since they re-skinned the forums08:35
Burgundaviano, they have08:36
Burgundaviathis is very recent, wonder if it is related to the performance issues08:36
BurgundaviaI have pinged ubuntu demon08:36
Burgundaviathe numbers used to be about 1000 guests08:37

Burgundaviaright now trying to find out the status of each of the SoC projects10:47
jendaok10:48
Burgundaviasee the link I just added10:48
Burgundaviaif you want to start at the bottom of the list10:48
Burgundaviastart looking for a website or a blog10:48
jendaok, will try. (lack of experience makes it difficult :) )10:49
Burgundaviajust start googling10:50
jendaHow do you know which of those projects have been released? Or are all of those?10:50
BurgundaviaI look for a blog listing a screenshot, or an addy to an svn account10:51
jendaaha10:51
jendaBurgundavia: would a launchpad spec with all the 'status' info be enough?11:00

jendaok, thx11:02
jendawill do11:02
jendagotta go, bbl11:07
Burgundaviahmm, idea: Rather than having it edited on the wiki, why don't I host a persistant gobby session on my server that people can login and edit as they need?11:09

Cogito_ergo_sumyou know, my team in venezuela, wan to be a distributor of UBUNTU, how we cant do that?02:49
ormiretyou can get cds from shipit.ubuntu.com02:50
Cogito_ergo_sumyes I know, but, we want to be a shipit for latin america...02:52
jendaMarketing doesn't mean commercialisation - it mean trying to spread the word, basically.02:52
Cogito_ergo_sumhaaa ok02:53
ormiretCogito_ergo_sum: you mean making your own disks?02:53
jendaWell, in that case, you might want to order a large amount, explaining that you want to pass them on...02:53
jendaor make your own, of course (didn't think of taht :-D)02:53
ormiretI think there was a team in India made a run of their own disks02:54

jendathat's probably true.03:08
elkbuntuthis marketing channel is still new as it is, we certainly dont have enough people to split it into different languages03:09

mdkeBurgundavia: 1) is clearly not intentional. As for 2), that's right, but the advantage of the wiki being a clear centre for the community throughout the week outweighs that, I think10:18
