elkbuntui'd help out with UWN, but gobby keeps giving me version mismatch errors :|06:39
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: welcome to gobby06:39
elkbuntuBurgundavia, it wasnt a complaint, just an fyi06:40
elkbuntuanything you want me to write up or something?06:40
elkbuntusince i cant see it to decide for myself :P06:40
Burgundaviasure, going to be moving it back to the wiki06:40
Burgundaviamoved back06:41
elkbuntulooks really sparse compared to last weeks :|06:42
Burgundaviayes, becuase I have not started editing yet06:42
elkbuntuhehe06:42
elkbuntui had a meddle last night..added the meeting times06:43
elkbuntucouldnt find any news that wasnt old06:43
=== poningru_ hasnt done anything either
poningru_doing hw right now06:46
elkbuntuoh yuck.. automatix mentioned --> http://www.itweek.co.uk/personal-computer-world/features/2164751/making-ubuntu-easier06:49
Madpilotobviously they meant to title the article 'making-ubuntu-broken'06:50
poningru_hehe06:51
elkbuntushould we include it in UWN with a disclaimer.. it's in several places around the net06:51
elkbuntuhttp://www.whatpc.co.uk/personal-computer-world/features/2164751/making-ubuntu-easier <-- here as well06:51
poningru_what? automatix == teh bad?06:51
elkbuntuponingru_, yes06:52
elkbuntuhttp://novarata.net/comparison.html06:53
poningruoh I am with you on that06:55
poningrubut its a community driven project06:55
poningruwho are we to deny it?06:55
elkbuntubecause the community spoken 'sorry, your system is <profanity>d' cannot repair the damage06:56
Burgundaviaautomatix is badly broken by design06:57
poningruwell yes... like I said I agree with you all on that06:57
elkbuntuBurgundavia, what should we do about the articles? post them with disclaimer?06:58
MadpilotI'd ignore them.06:59
poningruhmm I say lets ignore it07:00
elkbuntuyeah, probably good idea07:00
elkbuntuhttp://www.linux-tutorial.info/modules.php?name=MReviews&op=show&rid=1907:02
elkbuntu^-- that worth adding?07:04
Madpilotlooks interesting - so does the book they review. Too bad about the tiny font. :|07:05
elkbuntugah07:05
Burgundaviayep07:08
BurgundaviaI would add teh stuff about automatix, with a clear disclaimer07:08
Madpilot"Automatix is a good way to break Ubuntu that is inexplicably popular. Here are some articles about it:"07:09
Madpilotperhaps that's too clear, though?07:10
elkbuntupossibly07:10
elkbuntubut for some people... nowhere near clear enough07:10
Burgundaviayep07:11
MadpilotApparently the Automatix Project's wiki mentions that #ubuntu doesn't like their little monster07:12

elkbuntuMadpilot, it's the pet of arnieboy from the forums afaik07:14
Madpilotapparently he's bowed out, there's an actual team in charge now. I gather from ppl who've looked at the code that it's still as horribly broken as ever, tho07:14
elkbuntuit's not going to change overnight07:15
poningruyeah...07:19
elkbuntuoops forgot linkage07:20
elkbuntufeel free to totally change what i put there :|07:24

Burgundaviacommunity news11:26
Burgundaviathere are serveral press reports you can mention as well11:26

Burgundaviayep11:32
elkbuntuLTSP Hackfest11:34
elkbuntuMembers of the LTSP project, and developers for several distributions, gathered in Clarkston, Michigan last weekend to plot the future of LTSP, and Ubuntu was there. Jorge Castro wrote about it for [WWW]  Linux.com.11:34
elkbuntuthats what i put up, sound ok?11:34
Burgundaviamention that they are working on merging Ubuntu's LTSP into mainline LTSP11:37
Burgundaviaand that Ubuntu's LTSP is the future11:37
BurgundaviaTM11:37
elkbuntulol11:37
elkbuntuMembers of the LTSP project, and developers from several distributions, gathered in Clarkston, Michigan last weekend to plot the future of LTSP. Ubuntu was there to oversee the beginning of work related to merging the Ubuntu LTSP into mainline LTSP.11:42

Burgundaviaediting11:47
elkbuntufor infamous bugs, wasnt there one similar nature to the xorg bug unleashed sometime this week?11:48
elkbuntuor was i imagining this?11:49
Burgundaviaxorg bug?11:49
elkbuntuit was nvidia or something affected?11:50
Burgundaviahmm, no idea11:50
Burgundavialet me look through my UWN queue11:50
elkbuntui could well be 'remembering' total crap here, so feel free to say so11:50
BurgundaviaI have a gmail tag called UWN queue11:50
elkbuntuheh11:51
BurgundaviaI wish I could make it public, so people could see what I think is worth writing about11:51
elkbuntuit'd be nice, yeah11:51
BurgundaviaI think we would get more feedback that way11:52
elkbuntudefinately. maybe forward to a publicly cached address?11:52
elkbuntuset up a uwn mailing list to send it to? <-- even better idea11:53
elkbuntuwell, not better, more specific :)11:53
Burgundaviahmm, interesting idea11:53
elkbuntuwould be worth trying at least11:54
Burgundaviacould you find all the telepathy related packages and write a bit about that?11:54
Burgundaviaor should I?11:54
elkbuntuif you knwo what it is, probably you11:54
Burgundaviathere are some LTSP changes this week that are probably easier to look at11:55
Burgundaviadid you see the email to edubuntu-devel about the ltsp hackfest?11:56
Burgundaviasee if you missed anything there11:56
Burgundaviaedubuntu-menus is a good one to write about as well11:56
elkbuntuno, im not on that list11:57
elkbuntui'll check mailman in a sec11:58
