| Flannel | why would it be? | 12:30 |
|---|---|---|
| Burgundavia | Flannel: there are serious trademark concerns | 12:30 |
| Burgundavia | it is not an offiical ubuntu project | 12:30 |
| Flannel | isn't it called something else though? | 12:30 |
| Burgundavia | there is Icthux, which is KDE | 12:31 |
| Burgundavia | uce is GNOME | 12:31 |
| Flannel | Ah, maybe thats what I was confusing | 12:31 |
| Burgundavia | icthux is the right way to do it, uce is not | 12:31 |
| Burgundavia | sadly uce has gotten more press | 12:32 |
| Flannel | right. I wasnt aware they weren't one and the same | 12:32 |
| Flannel | that's because the creator made a big hubub in the forums | 12:32 |
| Burgundavia | and bought advertising on DistroWatch | 12:32 |
| Flannel | oh? | 12:32 |
| Flannel | How random | 12:32 |
| Burgundavia | that is how he got listed so quickly | 12:32 |
| Flannel | still not sure why it's not just an easyubuntu-ish script that'll christianize (that's like jazzercize) your ubuntu | 12:34 |
| Flannel | CE... so misleading. Everytime I see it, I think mobile ;) | 12:35 |

| johnlittle | Reuters story will have a huge impact | 01:11 |
| Burgundavia | johnlittle: can you add that to UWN 14? | 01:14 |
| johnlittle | already in progress | 01:14 |
| Burgundavia | cool, thanks | 01:14 |
| Burgundavia | johnlittle: you can ubuntu member yet? | 01:15 |
| johnlittle | no | 01:15 |
| Burgundavia | you should | 01:15 |
| Burgundavia | should I organize a UWN meeting? | 01:17 |
| johnlittle | for format issues? | 01:18 |
| Burgundavia | just a general meeting | 01:21 |
| Burgundavia | talk about format, non-english, new contributers | 01:21 |
| johnlittle | sounds like a good idea | 01:22 |
| Burgundavia | when is a good time? | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | given we are the two most active conributors, I want us both there | 01:26 |
| Burgundavia | wednesday, thursday and friday work for me | 01:26 |
| johnlittle | what time are you thinking? | 01:27 |
| === hybrid [n=x@easyubuntu/supporter/hybrid] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgundavia | anytime between midnight UTC and 5am UTC | 01:27 |
| johnlittle | Wed or Thur would work for me | 01:28 |

| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: just wanted you to edit the template, but you had already gone | 04:02 |
| elkbuntu | i've already edited the template to put in the menu/contents box | 04:04 |
| elkbuntu | i presumed that was what you were wanting from the talk i came back to after you'd gone to bed | 04:05 |
| Burgundavia | right | 04:05 |
| Burgundavia | I edited it more extensively | 04:06 |
| elkbuntu | fair enough. you knew what was needed as such | 04:07 |
| poningru | what are we working on? | 04:08 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 04:09 |

| elkbuntu | meanwhile, did you enjoy your brief visit to -au ;) | 04:29 |
| Burgundavia | au? | 04:33 |
| elkbuntu | * Burgundavia (n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia) has joined #ubuntu-au | 04:35 |
| elkbuntu | * Burgundavia (n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia) has left #ubuntu-au ("Leaving") | 04:35 |
| elkbuntu | ;) | 04:35 |
| Burgundavia | oh | 04:35 |
| Burgundavia | yes, I wondered how many people au had managed to attract | 04:36 |
| Burgundavia | given au and ca are very similar countiies | 04:36 |
| elkbuntu | in active times, above 40 | 04:36 |
| Burgundavia | we rarely go above 20 | 04:36 |
| elkbuntu | wow | 04:36 |
| Burgundavia | but then again, there is no Linux Canada | 04:36 |
| Burgundavia | is that self organization or did you go out and find people? | 04:37 |
| elkbuntu | fujitsu and yukicuss basically got it to 20 or so overnight.. then they got sucked back into school and so forth | 04:37 |
| Burgundavia | how much overlap is there between -au and LA? | 04:38 |
| elkbuntu | um.. there's a few LA members. LA is quite ubuntu-biased i think but it's still quite a seperate affair | 04:39 |
| Burgundavia | I almost wonder if it is our proximity to the US | 04:39 |
| elkbuntu | no, i wouldnt think. however jono was -thinking- about loco mentoring, and New Zealand's loco is a mess at the moment, but that's nothing to do with au. we have 1 nz'er in our midsts because the nz loco is the state it is and he's not much a community person | 04:40 |
| elkbuntu | ok that was like 2 thoughts in one | 04:41 |
| elkbuntu | but yeah. the us loco is fairly broken up by state now, so the canada loco should not be that disadvantaged by the proximity | 04:42 |
| Burgundavia | well, canada is a spread pretty thin | 04:43 |
| Burgundavia | au is mostly along the coast | 04:43 |
| Burgundavia | and tbh, I have not been that active is getting people out | 04:43 |
| elkbuntu | a good handfull are adelaide so south central, and there's perthians also | 04:44 |
| Burgundavia | having people like jdub and pia in your corner is a always a good thing | 04:44 |
| elkbuntu | well.. jdub is never -in- the loco channel and just rears his head on the list occasionally. pia is often in the channel, but often idle and even less occasionally pops up on the list | 04:45 |
| Burgundavia | plus running a loco team is basically a full time job | 04:45 |
| elkbuntu | tell me about it... | 04:45 |
| Burgundavia | that they exist and are high profile helps | 04:45 |
| elkbuntu | who got snared for the canada stickers distribution? | 04:46 |
| Burgundavia | I currently devote so much to ubuntu in general, it is hard | 04:46 |
| Burgundavia | me | 04:46 |
| Burgundavia | are you AU? | 04:46 |
| elkbuntu | yep | 04:46 |
| elkbuntu | im going to go check my PO box soon and see if i have ups from the 5 envelopes i got on friday | 04:46 |
| Burgundavia | no matter how many people are active, it always seems like 90% of the load is carried by 10% of the people | 04:46 |
| Burgundavia | I got 2 on Friday | 04:47 |
| elkbuntu | that is usually how things go with n-f-p things | 04:47 |
| Burgundavia | I expect to get a bunch more tomorrow | 04:47 |
| elkbuntu | i got 1 on wed, 1 on thur, 5 on fri.. | 04:47 |
| elkbuntu | it's incremental i think ;) | 04:47 |
| Burgundavia | I need to publicize it more widely | 04:47 |
| Burgundavia | need a freaking crm | 04:48 |
| elkbuntu | i put it on our list, and have kept people uptodate with the progress, i think someone put it on the loco wiki page but i havent seen it | 04:48 |
| elkbuntu | crm? | 04:48 |
| Burgundavia | customer relations manager | 04:48 |
| Burgundavia | basically a database of contacts | 04:48 |
| Burgundavia | we need a simple one, to handle contacts and mailing to those contacts | 04:48 |
| elkbuntu | yeah.. i need a freaking job to support this freaking addiction ;) | 04:48 |
| elkbuntu | jono is open for talking mostly i've found | 04:49 |
| Burgundavia | figured I might play with civicrm | 04:49 |
| Burgundavia | see if meets our needs | 04:49 |
| Burgundavia | given I work with a crms all day atwork | 04:49 |
| elkbuntu | sure | 04:49 |
| elkbuntu | i suggest at some point having a talk to jono if you havent | 04:50 |
| Burgundavia | I will | 04:50 |
| Burgundavia | jono and I, despite having written a book together, have only talked once on the phone | 04:51 |
| elkbuntu | i know it's -yet another channel- but maybe join the -locoteams channel? | 04:52 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, thought I was | 04:52 |
| Burgundavia | must have lost it when i moved from my old install to this one | 04:52 |
| elkbuntu | easy to do | 04:52 |
| elkbuntu | anyway, i've got things to do and im sure you do also | 04:54 |
| Burgundavia | sort of. Need ot finish a cover letter for a new job | 04:54 |
| elkbuntu | i've got about a dozen of those to do sometime today also | 04:55 |
| Burgundavia | this is basically "finish the cover letter, they hire me" | 04:55 |
| elkbuntu | you lucky bastard | 04:55 |
| Burgundavia | right place, right time | 04:55 |
| elkbuntu | still, previous statement applies | 04:56 |
| elkbuntu | i havent had a proper job in years, did delivery work since and ruined a car in the process so :( | 04:56 |
| Burgundavia | right | 04:57 |
| elkbuntu | lets just say i really really suck at faking enthusiasm | 04:57 |
| Burgundavia | so you are currenlty unemployed? | 04:58 |
| elkbuntu | yep | 04:58 |
| elkbuntu | anyway, gotta go do some stuff, wont be long | 04:59 |

| johnlittle | yep..cnn stories have a very long shelf life too..i still get hits from the one I appeared in 3-4 years ago | 08:23 |
| Burgwork | ah, cool | 08:24 |
| Burgwork | too bad CNN is awful with external links | 08:24 |
| Burgwork | BBC is much better | 08:24 |
| Burgwork | hmm, nothing ont eh beeb yet | 08:25 |
| johnlittle | they tend to do their own thing more than they rehash the wires | 08:28 |
| Burgwork | yes, they do | 08:30 |
| Burgwork | makes them a better news organization | 08:30 |
| Burgwork | I think they have the largest organization of reporters in the world | 08:30 |
| nixternal | Thursday! | 08:44 |
| nixternal | have you guys been watching CNN Headline News? | 08:45 |
| nixternal | it has been on there all day long | 08:45 |
| nixternal | when they do the "Technology" thing they do, they talk very briefly about it | 08:46 |
| johnlittle | just switched over | 08:53 |
| nixternal | it is quick, and i mean. 5 to 10 seconds, as "Microsoft does something in Africa, and then something really quick about Cosmonaut and OSS" | 08:58 |
| nixternal | thats the stint of it | 08:59 |
| nixternal | they don't say Ubuntu, Canonical, Linux or nothing | 08:59 |
| johnlittle | Well that sucks but its all good. It gets us on the radar and will lead to more mainstream attention | 09:08 |
