[03:42] <uni`nix> i cannot keep my eyes open here
[04:27] <Burgundavia> whiprush: have you noticed ephy simply not rendering certain wikipedia pages?
[04:27] <Burgundavia> whiprush: like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox
[04:28] <MagicFab> Venezuelan government officials get ubuntu on their laptops: http://lubrio.blogspot.com/2006/08/realizado-segundo-festival-de-software.html
[04:29] <whiprush> Burgundavia: works for me
[04:29] <Burgundavia> hmm
[04:29] <whiprush> the only issue I had was some https borkage that seemed to have gotten fixed last update
[04:29] <Burgundavia> whiprush: gnome love on planet ubuntu coming right up
[04:29] <MagicFab> ooops... (almost) off-topic here - wrong channel )
[04:30] <Burgundavia> MagicFab: that is cool to talk about
[04:30] <whiprush> Burgundavia: heh
[04:30] <MagicFab> Burgundavia, well, word is out now :) yeah, they actually installed it on *16* laptops!
[04:31] <MagicFab> (a lot, considering it's assembly deputies)
[04:32] <Burgundavia> might make a nice fridge story
[04:32] <Burgundavia> or an Ubuntu worldwide section of UWN
[06:33] <poningru> Burgundavia: dont you think that was _little_ overboard :p
[06:34] <Burgundavia> poningru: overboard?
[06:34] <poningru> with you and jdub puo went gnome foot happy ;)
[06:35] <Burgundavia> I guess you never saw the day Novell announced Hula
[06:35] <Burgundavia> planet gnome was all hula
[06:38] <poningru> hehe
[06:38] <poningru> never saw that
[06:40] <elkbuntu> as i said in -offtopic: Someone needs to tell the GNOME to wipe it's feet, it's left big dark footprints all over the Planet :P
[06:41] <brian98> hola everyone
[06:41] <brian98> Anyone awake?
[06:41] <poningru> elkbuntu: bwhahahahaha
[06:41] <elkbuntu> the occasional burst of life, brian98
[06:41] <poningru> brian98: yeah whatsup?
[06:42] <brian98> yay
[06:42] <brian98> Just wondering, I asked the question in #ubuntu
[06:42] <brian98> http://distrocenter.linux.com/ - why no ubuntu? Is that a snub?
[06:42] <brian98> Seems to be a bit of a snub to the best distro out there ;)
[06:42] <Burgundavia> no, just not updated recently
[06:43] <Flannel> Burgundavia: looks like things need to be submitted manually: If you would like to see a distribution represented here that isn't, please contact the distribution project or vendor and tell them to submit their information to us.
[06:43] <Burgundavia> I know the editor of linux.com, so I will email him
[06:44] <brian98> ok, just wanted to let you know.. Keep up the good work ;)
[06:45] <Burgundavia> thanks!
[06:45] <Burgundavia> brian98: another thing to look for is people calling it Ubuntu Linux
[06:45] <Burgundavia> it is just Ubuntu
[06:45] <brian98> Ok
[06:45] <brian98> but it's still a linux distro
[06:45] <brian98> *duck*
[06:45] <brian98> :)
[06:46] <brian98> a very very good one..
[06:46] <brian98> but I understand the marketing stuff
[06:47] <Burgundavia> you don't call it Ford Car or Airbus Airplane
[06:48] <Burgundavia> suggested text to replace Ubuntu Linux is Ubuntu, a Linux distribution,
[06:48] <Burgundavia> or Ubuntu, a Linux-based operating system,
[06:48] <brian98> exactly
[06:48] <brian98> I totally understand
[06:49] <brian98> ubuntu os would be nice
[06:49] <brian98> :)
[06:49] <Burgundavia> hmm, the ubuntu website has finally fixed the title
[06:49] <Burgundavia> I can edit, but not that part
[06:49] <brian98> when I tell people about ubuntu.. First thing they ask is 'what is it'
[06:49] <brian98> Like MAC OS
[06:49] <brian98> or Microsoft windows
[06:50] <brian98> windows being synonimis with being an operating system
[06:50] <brian98> sorry if I'm going on here and tell me to get lost if I'm talking s**t
[06:50] <brian98> :)
[06:50] <Burgundavia> well, that is part of our job
[06:56] <brian98> I like the sound of ubuntu OS
[06:56] <brian98> or shake it up ubuntu osx
[06:56] <brian98> apple would love that :)
[06:56] <poningru> haha
[06:57] <brian98> and market it as osx for free
[06:57] <brian98> I'm just kidding now...
[06:57] <brian98> I've been working for 18 hours and it's 5:57 am now so I'm prob not making much sense
[07:00] <Burgundavia> no, you are not ;)
[07:01] <brian98> :)
[07:01] <brian98> some of the best ideas come in those lucid moments
[07:01] <poningru> too true
[07:02] <brian98> so you guys work for Canonical
[07:02] <brian98> ?
[07:02] <Burgundavia> no
[07:02] <brian98> o ok
[07:03] <brian98> man it's such a task you have ahead, so exciting, so much you can achieve if you market this product right..
[07:05] <brian98> plus google are sniffing about aren't they
[07:05] <Burgundavia> not really
[07:06] <brian98> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/google_goes_desktop_linux/
[07:07] <Burgundavia> utterly and totally false
[07:08] <Burgundavia> Google is a heavy user of Ubuntu internally
[07:08] <Burgundavia> goobuntu is an internal code name for their patches, mostly stuff to connect to company resources
[07:08] <brian98> great pr
[07:11] <brian98> anyway good to chat. Time for sleep, thanks for listening to my inane ramblings :)
[07:15] <poningru> Burgundavia: ...
[07:15] <poningru> dude...
[07:15] <poningru> why did you make it smaller??
[07:20] <Burgundavia> because it was huge
[07:21] <poningru> ... I thought that was the point...
[08:18] <MitchM> menza: ping
[08:18] <MitchM> ^.^ not even here.
[08:53] <mindspin> ubuntu server cd is added to the next issue of german linux magazine...
[09:28] <klepas> servus
[09:36] <poningru> yarrr
[09:39] <klepas> i18n speak-like-a-pirate day soon
[09:39] <klepas> 19th of September :)
[09:52] <poningru> yarr
[09:53] <elkbuntu> well how about that.. convenienly 3 days after software freedom day
[09:54] <klepas> last year it coincided with sfd
[09:59] <elkbuntu> i wasnt completely linuxified back then.. but i can imagine the correlations people drew
[10:00] <klepas> :)
[10:01] <elkbuntu> people dressed up in pirate attire going "yarr.. do yer wan' sum freeee sofware?" would go down really well
[10:02] <Flannel> elkbuntu: They'd think you were helping to save the world from natural disasters
[10:02] <Flannel> or, that it was Sept 19
[10:03] <elkbuntu> meanwhile im wearing my SFD tshirt now :D
[10:03] <Flannel> oh, wait.  That was already brought up.
[10:03] <Flannel> not the former though.  At least one of my points is novel ;)
[10:16] <ompaul> Flannel, we are
[10:16] <Flannel> ompaul: saving the world from natural disasters?
[10:17] <ompaul> Flannel, yes
[10:17] <Flannel> sounds good.  Yarrr.
[10:43] <jenda> It's hard to pirate free software... :)
[10:43] <jenda> (it's possible, though: GPL violations could be considered intelectual property theft = piracy)
[10:44] <jenda> mdke: I have a suspicion that the cronjob does not work correctly on the marketing dir.
[10:44] <jenda> mdke: I've been trying to get teh poster suggestions up there, but its still empty :(
[10:44] <jenda> It's been two days.
[11:11] <elkbuntu> jenda, are people who dont know what gpl software is, going to understand that?
[11:12] <jenda> elkbuntu: understand what?
[11:12] <elkbuntu> jenda> (it's possible, though: GPL violations could be considered intelectual property theft = piracy)
[11:12] <elkbuntu> err. wrong line.. the line above that
[11:12] <jenda> Well, no, it was just an OT blurb in the marketing channel :)
[11:45] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[12:05] <klepas> poningru: :)
[12:09] <jenda> klepas: :)
[12:11] <klepas> servus
[12:24] <mdke> jenda: did you upload it to the bzr repository?
[12:25] <jenda> yes
[12:26] <mdke> jenda: it looks like it is working to me: the files in public_html/spreadubuntu are all dated today
[12:26] <mdke> drwxr-xr-x  6 marketing marketing  4096 2006-09-07 02:02 spreadubuntu
[12:26] <jenda> aha
[12:26] <jenda> there's a redundant DIY directory in there, I'll fix that.
[12:26] <jenda> Sorry to bother you with my faults again :)
[12:27] <mdke> no worries
[12:32] <matthewrevell> mdke: you wanted me yesterday?
[12:42] <jenda> aha, mdke, you still there?
[12:42] <jenda> I'd like the cronjob to throw the contents one directory higher.
[12:42] <jenda> That's where the problem is. They are not all related to SU anymore.
[12:43] <jenda> Would that be possible?
[01:20] <mdke_> jenda: can you explain a bit more?
[01:22] <mdke_> jenda: maybe send me a mail explaining exactly what you want to do.
[03:52] <jenda> mdke_: thanks a bunch!
[04:10] <poningru> wait what bzr repository??
[04:16] <jenda> poningru: one originally for spreadubuntu
[04:16] <poningru> ah
[04:16] <jenda> now also used for DIY marketing... but only by me, if I'm not mistaken.
[04:16] <jenda> OTOH, the entire MT has access.
[04:17] <jenda> lemme getcha tha link
[04:17] <jenda> sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-marketing/spreadubuntu/spreadubuntu
[04:17] <jenda> that's the sftp link for the MT, and the http anyone can use read-only is...
[04:18] <jenda> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-marketing/spreadubuntu/spreadubuntu
[04:18] <jenda> there
[04:19] <jenda> poningru, there's an old thread on that in the ML as well.
[04:21] <poningru> hmm
[04:25] <jenda> Feel free to create a new directory there, if you feel there's a new category of files we need hosted.
[04:26] <jenda> And now I'm off...
[04:26] <jenda> I'll be back on tuesday.
[04:27] <MitchM_> menza: ping
[04:28] <MitchM_> =) jenda - do you know if menza sent out those stickers to me?
[04:28] <MitchM_> I saw that my e-mail to him was still stuck in my outbox on my laptop last night =(
[04:28] <jenda> hmm
[04:28] <MenZa> MitchM_: I sent them today.
[04:28] <MenZa> :)
[04:28] <jenda> I think he would have sent them ASAP, but I'm not... aha!
[04:28] <MitchM_> =) thanks!
[04:28] <MenZa> MitchM_: sorry for the laziness.
[04:28] <MitchM_> lol...
[04:29] <MitchM_> bah ...
[04:29] <jenda> MenZa: how much was the shipping?
[04:29] <MenZa> MitchM_: I hope they're wrapped properly; I put the envelope inside another to make sure it didn't blow up in my face
[04:29] <MitchM_> I wouldn't have minded if it was next week
[04:29] <MenZa> about $6, jenda.
[04:29] <MitchM_> lol.
[04:29] <jenda> WHOA
[04:29] <MenZa> jenda: Have you ever been to Thereisenstadt?
[04:29] <jenda> nope
[04:29] <jenda> But Iknow about it.
[04:29] <MenZa> Alright
[04:29] <MenZa> I'm going there on the 25th.
[04:29] <MitchM_> 6$ = paypal to whom?
[04:30] <MitchM_> how much for the stickers also Jenda?
[04:30] <jenda> That is about 20 times more expensive than it would be from the Czech Rep, MenZa :(
[04:30] <MenZa> lmao jenda
[04:30] <MitchM_> lmao.
[04:30] <jenda> I payed about $0.50 for each shipment
[04:30] <MitchM_> (maybe he just rapped it _A LOT_) =)
[04:31] <MitchM_> 90% packaging... 10% stickers?
[04:31] <jenda> MitchM_: I told ya - the stickers are $5 :) Anything else that you send will be considered a donation towards the posters ;)
[04:31] <MitchM_> affirm.
[04:31] <MitchM_> so 11$ to pay for the shiping?
[04:31] <jenda> ok, I'll send $6 to menza straight away
[04:31] <MenZa> oh no
[04:31] <MenZa> nevermind that
[04:32] <jenda> MenZa: menza at menza dot org, right?
[04:32] <MenZa> you keep them jenda
[04:32] <MenZa> KEEP THEM.
[04:32] <MenZa> We want posters
[04:32] <jenda> hehe
[04:32] <MenZa> As long as I get a free one then :D
[04:32] <jenda> you sure?
[04:32] <MenZa> of course.
[04:32] <jenda> OK, it's a deal :)
[04:32] <MenZa> :D
[04:32] <jenda> dammit, I gotta run
[04:32] <jenda> RUN!
[04:32] <MenZa> How about Kubuntu posters aswell? Will we be doing those?

[04:36] <MitchM_> ah ha; whatever you sent will do just fine...
