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

[01:21] just a general meeting [01:21] talk about format, non-english, new contributers [01:22] sounds like a good idea [01:26] when is a good time?

[04:35] * Burgundavia (n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia) has joined #ubuntu-au [04:35] * Burgundavia (n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia) has left #ubuntu-au ("Leaving") [04:35] ;) [04:35] oh [04:36] yes, I wondered how many people au had managed to attract [04:36] given au and ca are very similar countiies [04:36] in active times, above 40 [04:36] we rarely go above 20 [04:36] wow [04:36] but then again, there is no Linux Canada [04:37] is that self organization or did you go out and find people? [04:37] fujitsu and yukicuss basically got it to 20 or so overnight.. then they got sucked back into school and so forth [04:38] how much overlap is there between -au and LA? [04:39] um.. there's a few LA members. LA is quite ubuntu-biased i think but it's still quite a seperate affair [04:39] I almost wonder if it is our proximity to the US [04:40] 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 [04:41] ok that was like 2 thoughts in one [04:42] but yeah. the us loco is fairly broken up by state now, so the canada loco should not be that disadvantaged by the proximity [04:43] well, canada is a spread pretty thin [04:43] au is mostly along the coast [04:43] and tbh, I have not been that active is getting people out [04:44] a good handfull are adelaide so south central, and there's perthians also [04:44] having people like jdub and pia in your corner is a always a good thing [04:45] 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] plus running a loco team is basically a full time job [04:45] tell me about it... [04:45] that they exist and are high profile helps [04:46] who got snared for the canada stickers distribution? [04:46] I currently devote so much to ubuntu in general, it is hard [04:46] me [04:46] are you AU? [04:46] yep [04:46] 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] no matter how many people are active, it always seems like 90% of the load is carried by 10% of the people [04:47] I got 2 on Friday [04:47] that is usually how things go with n-f-p things [04:47] I expect to get a bunch more tomorrow [04:47] i got 1 on wed, 1 on thur, 5 on fri.. [04:47] it's incremental i think ;) [04:47] I need to publicize it more widely [04:48] need a freaking crm [04:48] 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] crm? [04:48] customer relations manager [04:48] basically a database of contacts [04:48] we need a simple one, to handle contacts and mailing to those contacts [04:48] yeah.. i need a freaking job to support this freaking addiction ;) [04:49] jono is open for talking mostly i've found [04:49] figured I might play with civicrm [04:49] see if meets our needs [04:49] given I work with a crms all day atwork [04:49] sure [04:50] i suggest at some point having a talk to jono if you havent [04:50] I will [04:51] jono and I, despite having written a book together, have only talked once on the phone [04:52] i know it's -yet another channel- but maybe join the -locoteams channel? [04:52] hmm, thought I was [04:52] must have lost it when i moved from my old install to this one [04:52] easy to do [04:54] anyway, i've got things to do and im sure you do also [04:54] sort of. Need ot finish a cover letter for a new job [04:55] i've got about a dozen of those to do sometime today also [04:55] this is basically "finish the cover letter, they hire me" [04:55] you lucky bastard [04:55] right place, right time [04:56] still, previous statement applies [04:56] i havent had a proper job in years, did delivery work since and ruined a car in the process so :( [04:57] right [04:57] lets just say i really really suck at faking enthusiasm [04:58] so you are currenlty unemployed?
