| Burgundavia | cool | 06:12 |
| Burgundavia | I don't imagine fiesty herd will be | 06:12 |
| Burgundavia | anytime soon | 06:12 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, "The usual term for a group of deer is a herd, but there are a couple of alternatives, according to the internet. These are 'leash' and 'mob', although I've never heard these terms used with deer. | 06:13 |

| Burgundavia | poningru: we ready to roll with the release? | 06:13 |
| mgalvin | ha, the Ubuntu Mob, sweet (that might not go over to well though) | 06:15 |
| Madpilot | 'the Ubuntu Mob' would go well with that "We're here for your desktop" poster johnlittle came up with :) | 06:16 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 06:16 |
| Burgundavia | that desktop rocked, too bad the image was non-free | 06:17 |
| Burgundavia | that image, rather | 06:17 |

| Burgundavia | by "Richard Johnson" | 06:35 |
| nixternal | you actually read page six? | 06:35 |
| Burgundavia | no, I read thesuperficial | 06:36 |
| nixternal | ahh, and that was linked | 06:36 |
| nixternal | lol | 06:36 |
| nixternal | well, i didn't know i wrote for the NYP, but I did know that I am a famous author, a professional golfer, a weatherman for the Weather Channel | 06:37 |
| Burgundavia | rock | 06:37 |
| Burgundavia | I love common names | 06:37 |
| nixternal | a hockey player as well i believe | 06:37 |
| nixternal | i hate them | 06:37 |
| Burgundavia | I am me, me, me and some professor at some university | 06:37 |
| nixternal | i hate when i meet someone and they go, are you related to so and so | 06:37 |
| poningru | what?? pssh | 06:41 |
| poningru | nixternal isnt a common name at all | 06:41 |
| poningru | srsly | 06:41 |
| nixternal | hehe | 06:41 |
| poningru | nixternal: I am actually on the opposite end of the name spectrum | 06:42 |
| poningru | Eldo Varghese | 06:42 |
| poningru | weirdest name in america | 06:42 |
| nixternal | actually, our best family friend is Varghese, and he is the Chief of Police from the very small town in Michigan wehre I am originally from | 06:42 |
| poningru | wtf | 06:44 |
| poningru | where is he from? | 06:44 |
| poningru | must be a malayalee | 06:45 |
| poningru | ask him this | 06:45 |
| poningru | malayalam ariyamo | 06:45 |
| poningru | elongate the ya | 06:45 |
| poningru | shorten the o and the ari | 06:45 |
| nixternal | heh | 06:48 |
| nixternal | he is from that small town...i guess him and my dad went to high school together many moons ago | 06:48 |
| Burgundavia | oh, I got my weekly thankyou email from JiaBin Huang | 07:01 |

| elkbuntu | aww how nice :) | 07:11 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, I solved my cache corruption issue by turning off the cache | 07:18 |
| Burgundavia | makes it much slower to browse | 07:18 |
| elkbuntu | :( | 07:18 |
| poningru | rofl | 07:20 |
| poningru | cache corruption issue? | 07:20 |
| poningru | in ff? | 07:20 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 07:20 |
| poningru | wait you are an epiphany guy I thought | 07:20 |
| Burgundavia | yes, but the cache is managed by ff | 07:20 |
| poningru | 0.o | 07:20 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, it might also be an issue with my router | 07:20 |
| poningru | xulrunner you mean | 07:20 |
| Burgundavia | no, not xulrunner | 07:21 |
| Burgundavia | ubuntu doesn't use it yet | 07:21 |
| poningru | oh right | 07:21 |
| poningru | crazy | 07:22 |
| === poningru cant wait for 2.0 | ||
| Burgundavia | 2.0 is out | 07:22 |
| poningru | 0.o | 07:22 |
| poningru | err I mean gecko | 07:23 |
| poningru | 2.0 ff == 1.8 gecko | 07:23 |
| poningru | 3.0 ff == 1.9 gecko | 07:23 |
| poningru | 2.0 == teh roxorz | 07:23 |
| elkbuntu | lol | 07:24 |
| Burgundavia | ah, right | 07:24 |
| Burgundavia | we need xulrunner | 07:24 |
| Burgundavia | don't know how that will play with Moz corp | 07:24 |
| poningru | very well | 07:24 |
| Burgundavia | no, they want us shipping FF | 07:25 |
| poningru | its not trademarked | 07:25 |
| poningru | well... we dont have to | 07:25 |
| poningru | ff can be moved to universe... thought I would be very much against that | 07:25 |
| === poningru <3 ff | ||
| Burgundavia | I would like us to ship ephy | 07:26 |
| poningru | yech | 07:26 |
| poningru | ... I totally fell for that | 07:27 |
| poningru | oh wow thats not a joke thats real!!! | 07:28 |
| elkbuntu | hahaha... corey got called an aussie! | 07:29 |
| Burgundavia | FF is a great browser for Windows | 07:29 |
| Burgundavia | it shows in all their decisions and how ti doesn't really integrate into Linux | 07:29 |
| poningru | elkbuntu: arr? | 07:29 |
| Burgundavia | <Burgundavia> no worries | 07:30 |
| Burgundavia | <Happy> no worries.. that sounds very Aussie | 07:30 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, flip over to -locoteams | 07:30 |
| poningru | Burgundavia: well I guess... but a few extension later... its very linux friendly | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | extensions are not an answer | 07:31 |
| poningru | ofcourse they are | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | and that doesn't solve the udnerlying issue | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | the way it stores profiles is very window-centric | 07:31 |
| poningru | how so? | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | the fact that it doesn't really integrate | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | every other app stores is ~/.app | 07:31 |
| poningru | same for ff as well | 07:32 |
| === yama_away [n=yama@ppp46-24.lns2.syd6.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgundavia | moz is ~/.mozilla/firefox/asd;lfkhjaerst-978asdfkjh/ | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | or something like that | 07:32 |
| poningru | oh... | 07:32 |
| poningru | right | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | that is a windowism | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | where they instlal by default | 07:33 |
| Burgundavia | /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/, etc. | 07:33 |
| Burgundavia | not acting like a real library, with so numbers | 07:33 |
| poningru | they no longer have an installer | 07:33 |
| Burgundavia | no, the default package, until hacked by debian/ubuntu | 07:33 |
| poningru | again they dont have an installer | 07:33 |
| Burgundavia | almost everything debian does to Firefox makes it act more like a unix app | 07:33 |
| Burgundavia | I am not talking about their instlaler | 07:34 |
| poningru | then... | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | I am talking about thier tarball | 07:34 |
| poningru | ok... why would you put that in /usr/lib? | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | half the crap that FF does we don't see because iwj and others get in the way, with much pain to themselves | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | becuase libraries go there | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | I am talking about the /firefox-1.0.4/ not /gecko2/ or /firefox/ | 07:35 |
| poningru | hehe I would put it in /usr/local/bin | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | I am talking about the package that distros ship | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | I deal with FC machiens at work, which ship almost stock FF, as that is what RH packages | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | it is a fracking nightmare | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | you should listen to whiprush talk about the pain of dealing with FF in a large deployment | 07:36 |
| poningru | but mofo has no control over where/what names rh puts for different libs | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | did you listen to what I said? | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | RH | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | RH ships almost default FF | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | in other words, all teh stupid stuff that moco does | 07:37 |
| poningru | Burgundavia: I still am not understanding you... the default tarball moco puts out... has not control over where it goes | 07:37 |
| poningru | I put the entire tar ball into /usr/local/bin | 07:37 |
| Burgundavia | the binary tarball or the source one? | 07:38 |
| poningru | binary | 07:38 |
| poningru | oh you mean make | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | I am talking source | 07:38 |
| poningru | ah gotcha | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | I could care less about mocos binaries | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | those are even worse | 07:38 |
| poningru | did moco give reasons why these bugs were wontfixed? | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | some of their process things | 07:39 |
| Madpilot | Given what *else* "mofo" stands for, how on earth has Moz Foundation been saddled with that nick, anyway? | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | like not acting like a real library | 07:39 |
| poningru | Madpilot: rofl | 07:40 |
| poningru | that joke has been killed and beaten so many times in moznet its not even funny | 07:40 |
| poningru | no body even uses it anymore | 07:40 |
| Madpilot | yeah, I'm sure it's not an original observation, just amusing | 07:40 |

| digitalmouse | if there is something i can do (edit, report, interview, graphics, web-stuff), just holler! | 09:46 |
| Burgundavia | digitalmouse: play with the UWN? | 09:47 |
| digitalmouse | hmm... refresh my memory... UWN? | 09:49 |
| Burgundavia | ubuntu weekly news | 09:51 |
| Burgundavia | pretty much the sole reliable product of this team :) | 09:51 |
| digitalmouse | ah right | 09:52 |
| digitalmouse | have not been in here in a while. i offered up, and even installed, a web-zine CMS system for an Ubuntu Magazine (many many moons ago), but there never seemed to be anything more than 'talk' about it, and commitees, and meetings. so i've been disillusioned about the marketing teams purpose. but i am always willing to support the effort (when there is actually some). | 09:55 |
| Burgundavia | indeed | 09:56 |
| Burgundavia | there is a the fridge, which is somewhat seperate | 09:57 |
| digitalmouse | true | 09:57 |
| digitalmouse | and there were repreated 'meetings' here about what to offer that the fridge already provides | 09:58 |
| Burgundavia | I have mused about to merge them, but peope appear to like a "newsletter" | 09:58 |
| Burgundavia | regardless, we have the UWN | 09:58 |
| Burgundavia | it works, but needs people | 09:58 |
| digitalmouse | ok, i'll take a look and see if i can contribute somehow | 09:59 |
| Burgundavia | see the topic | 09:59 |
| digitalmouse | will do | 10:00 |

| poningru | hey guys quick idea | 06:08 |
| poningru | this may not be marketing domain... but still | 06:09 |
| poningru | can we check tonyyserver and see who provided most support in #ubuntu | 06:09 |
| poningru | then give some sort of reward according to that? | 06:09 |
| jenda | Say... and Ubuntu poster or two? :) | 06:13 |
| === MenZa [n=menza@unaffiliated/menza] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgwork | poningru: we should do verfiable things, no vague stuff, for prizes | 06:31 |
| poningru | right | 06:32 |
| poningru | it would have to be verifiable | 06:33 |
| nixternal | there was someone already doing that, but their server either disappeared, or they moved it elsewhere..i haven't seen it in a while | 07:53 |
| popey | why not help the people who reply to support tickets? | 08:16 |
| popey | that's more easily verifyable | 08:16 |
| popey | (although some people seem to reply to tickets with the only intention of bumping up their karma) | 08:16 |
| Burgwork | why not reward people for marketing? | 08:20 |
| Burgwork | we are the "marketing team" | 08:20 |
| jenda | Burgwork: I don't see us doing much marketing, though... | 08:26 |
