| elkbuntu | do we really want to pollute our lovely UWN with stallman | 03:36 |
| poningru | ... | 03:43 |
| poningru | stallman? | 03:43 |
| poningru | you mean balmer | 03:43 |
| nixternal | wth | 03:43 |
| nixternal | stallman is the gnufather | 03:44 |
| nixternal | he has worked harder than anyone towards software freedom, even though he can be rather barbaric in some of his attmpts...i am understanding him more and more each day | 03:44 |
| elkbuntu | right | 03:45 |
| elkbuntu | i was reading something about stallman when you mentioned the ballmer bullshit | 03:45 |
| nixternal | hehe | 03:45 |
| === poningru throws chair at elkbuntu | ||
| elkbuntu | my brain is baked the the consistancy of a custard tart at the moment | 03:45 |
| nixternal | i think mako sells FSF/GNU better than stallman does | 03:45 |
| poningru | mmm custard tart | 03:45 |
| nixternal | omg custard tart! | 03:46 |
| Burgundavia | mako is actually sane | 03:47 |
| nixternal | hehe ya | 03:47 |
| nixternal | but if he hangs around stallman anymore, he might lose that | 03:47 |
| Burgundavia | nah | 03:47 |
| Burgundavia | mako understands how to communicate to non-geeks | 03:47 |
| nixternal | very true | 03:47 |
| nixternal | stallman has the right ideas, just carries them out the wrong way | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: stop procrastinating, start editing | 03:48 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, im not procrastinating | 03:48 |

| elkbuntu | s/one/half/ | 05:03 |

| Burgundavia | can you cleanup the new versions from Debian? | 05:12 |

| poningru | oh yeah | 05:18 |
| tonyyarusso | Burgundavia: Do you have something in particular in mind for "cleaning up" this list? | 05:20 |
| Burgundavia | tonyyarusso: make certain we only list the upstream version number | 05:20 |
| Burgundavia | so X.X-Y <-- the Y is the debian version | 05:20 |
| Burgundavia | have it appname XX - description and/or url | 05:21 |
| Burgundavia | and put a star with a space on either side at the beginning of each line | 05:21 |
| poningru | do we wanna do the art-work article? | 05:22 |
| poningru | someone else do that | 05:22 |
| poningru | also someone who can speak dutch do https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/sounder/2006-November/009381.html | 05:22 |
| tonyyarusso | Any reason some of these are indented an extra space or two? | 05:22 |
| Burgundavia | simply because of copying errors | 05:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Thought so, since I'm pretty sure the wiki ignores that anyway | 05:24 |
| tonyyarusso | There's a youtube dl app? Cool | 05:26 |

The review is in-depth and has a slightly more technical format than the one above. The review also advocates the Use of EasyUbuntu, which again, we discourage. | 06:29 |
| Burgundavia | we discourage both | 06:29 |
| poningru | we do? | 06:30 |
| poningru | why? | 06:30 |
| Burgundavia | they both duplicate existing functionality within Ubuntu are known to cause issues | 06:30 |
| poningru | obviously re: former charge.. the point is to make it more accesible for users, re: former didnt know easyubuntu caused issues | 06:31 |
| poningru | err latter | 06:31 |
| Burgundavia | "we discourage both, although EasyUbuntu is less likely to cause issues than Automatix" | 06:32 |
| poningru | k | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Okay, there are 7 imports from Debian that don't have a URL/description still, but I got the versions and formatting done. Could someone take care of that? (I should get back to my electronics assignment) | 06:35 |

| Burgundavia_ | out back, to shoot it | 07:11 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, re easyubuntu and automatix... we frown on both equally, for diplomatic reasons that are completely lost on the automatix crowd anyway | 07:11 |
| poningru | err the latter of which is... | 07:11 |
| poningru | hmm | 07:11 |
| poningru | ROFL | 07:11 |
| === poningru goes with Burgundavia_ for some grilled bling | ||
| poningru | I like mine well done | 07:11 |
| elkbuntu | yeah, if i find half-baked bling on my plate, i will not be happy | 07:12 |
| poningru | yeah make sure to use the AIGLX sauce | 07:13 |
| poningru | that old XGL sauce just doesnt cut it anymore | 07:13 |
| Burgundavia_ | too odd a taste | 07:13 |
| poningru | indeed | 07:14 |
| === tonyyarusso wonders why we have compiz and not beryl so far | ||
| imbrandon | because compize was arround first , is stable(er) and someone cared enough to package it properly :) | 07:15 |
| Burgundavia_ | because compiz is only mild crack and beryl is full on ragging not-coming-back-from-this-trip crack | 07:15 |
| Burgundavia_ | raging, rather | 07:15 |
| imbrandon | hahaha exactly | 07:15 |
| imbrandon | i was trying to say it diplomaticly | 07:15 |
| imbrandon | but Burgundavia_ hit the nail on the head | 07:15 |
| elkbuntu | you only have to meet quinn storm in person to understand what happened | 07:16 |
| tonyyarusso | imbrandon: Is that a final decision, or a how things stand now at the initial sync stage decision? | 07:16 |
| Burgundavia_ | why so? | 07:16 |
| Burgundavia_ | tonyyarusso: it is a fight between the world and mark | 07:16 |
| imbrandon | you only have to ask him a few simple questions "why did you fork compiz" in the BoF to see why also | 07:16 |
| Burgundavia_ | the rest of the dev team is wants compiz, at the most | 07:16 |
| elkbuntu | he... err.. she is... an interesting character | 07:16 |
| poningru | rofl | 07:17 |
| Burgundavia_ | and given they upload to Ubuntu... | 07:17 |
| Burgundavia_ | so basically, the dev team is trying to do and end run around Mark by putting in compiz first and seeing if it sticks | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | tonyyarusso: nothing i say is "official" but i was in the room when the decisions were being made and i can assure you it will be a cold day in hell when beryl is default in feisty | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | Burgundavia_: compiz was in ubuntu before beryl forked | 07:18 |
| === klepas [n=klepas@203-213-31-142.static.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgundavia_ | imbrandon: yes, but the compiz was mostly beryl for a while | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | Burgundavia: true, thats when there was only one crack | 07:19 |
| elkbuntu | and i think we should drop this here... | 07:19 |
| elkbuntu | before we say bad things | 07:19 |
| imbrandon | but still its not the dev's trying to go arround mark, i think we finaly convinced him at UDS how crackfull it was, and how he made a technical decision without looking at the technical end | 07:19 |
| imbrandon | but anyhow , its all crack and needs to die basicly imho untill it can be proven to work reliably for more than a week on 4 systems | 07:20 |
| === tonyyarusso obviously opened a much larger can of worms than he anticipated | ||
| Burgundavia | I think this whole binary driver thing is going to die as well | 07:20 |
| imbrandon | tonyyarusso: :) | 07:20 |
| imbrandon | Burgundavia: yea i think so too, i can only hope on that one | 07:21 |
| poningru | Burgundavia: sweet | 07:21 |
| Burgundavia | I expect the reason that AcceleratedX has not been approved is because mdz is having a raging battle with Mark right now | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | Burgundavia: yea | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | mdz and scott both | 07:21 |
| elkbuntu | and anyone with a clue in a position to do so | 07:22 |
| poningru | can someone check through the bling thing | 07:22 |
| imbrandon | hrm, i need to become a better writer, i cant think of any more kde hotness this week, i should start this brainstorm as soon as the old UWN is out each time | 07:22 |

| === poningru puts it back | ||
| poningru | Madpilot: no dude we were hunting bling | 07:32 |

| === matjan [n=matjan@216.154.22.228] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||

| Madpilot | Burgundavia, I just got back from being afk, so no, I haven't | 07:32 |
| poningru | dutchmen were coming for dinner | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | hey matjan | 07:32 |
| poningru | *** Dutch translation assistance needed*** https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/sounder/2006-November/009381.html | 07:32 |
| matjan | hey | 07:33 |
| elkbuntu | make us a lovely story and we'll.. um.. shower you with huggles! | 07:33 |
| matjan | elkbuntu, you were talking to me? | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: you still proofing?' | 07:35 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, i'll be back to it in a sec | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 07:35 |
| matjan | ahhh.. JanC | 07:36 |
| matjan | the usual suspects | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | can somebody write that upcoming events article? | 07:38 |
| matjan | Burgundavia, so what needs translation? | 07:38 |
| tonyyarusso | matjan: See the URL poningru posted | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | what does the new article say? | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | anything different from the mail? | 07:39 |
| matjan | you mean the first link in JanC's post? | 07:40 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 07:40 |
| matjan | let me check | 07:40 |
| Burgundavia | anybody missing from the credits? | 07:41 |
| matjan | what is translated in the JanC's post is only the first paragraph of that article | 07:42 |
| elkbuntu | matjan, we would like the whole article :) | 07:42 |
| matjan | ok, before when? | 07:43 |
| matjan | and will someone else proofread? | 07:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Is our translator in the credits? | 07:43 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, when are you sending this edition forth? | 07:43 |
| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: in an hour | 07:44 |
| Burgundavia | tonyyarusso: once he tells me his full name | 07:44 |
| elkbuntu | matjan, can you do it in an hour? | 07:44 |
| Burgundavia | matjan: we just need the gist, to write a short summary | 07:44 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm amused by the English spelling debate we seem to have on line 29 | 07:45 |
| elkbuntu | tonyyarusso, has it been changed again? | 07:45 |
| Burgundavia | can anybody make heads or tails of the post sent to the marketing list? | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | the mint and pclinuxos one? | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | s/?// | 07:46 |
| tonyyarusso | elkbuntu: It's at z now | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | elkbuntu: UCK is z | 07:46 |
| matjan | elkbuntu, it is already 1.50aqm here, and i am also working on some other stuff... | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | so we now have one of each | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | matjan: ok, quick summary, do the rest of the paragraphs change anything from the first one? | 07:47 |
| elkbuntu | are you meaning in 'customise' | 07:47 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 07:47 |
| tonyyarusso | Burgundavia: No idea - first off, it's at #51 | 07:48 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 07:48 |
| Burgundavia | mint has hit #1, but I don't expect that to last | 07:48 |
| tonyyarusso | I think this person missed the point that "Linux is not Windows" | 07:48 |
| matjan | Burgundavia, the second paragrah describes how the software was selected, that thre are no server apps, and there is a windoeze and a linux version (linux being breezy) | 07:49 |
| Burgundavia | ah, ok | 07:50 |
| Burgundavia | that is enough for us, thanks | 07:50 |
| Burgundavia | I see only proofreading after that. Anybody else? | 07:51 |
| Burgundavia | matjan: what is your full name? I need it for the credits | 07:51 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, i've sent my eyes over it, but someone needs to go over again focussing on the pink stuff.. and hopefully not americanise everything | 07:52 |
| Burgundavia | heh | 07:52 |
| matjan | Burgundavia, third paragraph describes in a bit more detail what 3 sorts of software that are present: 1. educational, 2. general use (office apps etc.), 3. open educational tools (information sharing, etc) | 07:52 |
| matjan | Burgundavia, matty janssen | 07:53 |
| Burgundavia | perfect | 07:53 |
| poningru | elkbuntu: hehe that z was me :p | 07:54 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, listen to the canadian and the australian, use s : | 07:54 |
| Burgundavia | 'ecept canada uses z | 07:54 |
| poningru | indeed | 07:55 |
| elkbuntu | but you changed it back | 07:55 |
| poningru | meh | 07:55 |
| poningru | brits use s | 07:55 |
| matjan | Burgundavia, ok, cool | 07:55 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, we write the newsletter in english, not american | 07:55 |
| tonyyarusso | Burgundavia: Wait, they do? The ca spellchecking stuff says s, so that's what I've been trying to adapt to. | 07:56 |

| tonyyarusso | It's really not so bad for a while, and then you try to do something that should be simple, but is totally not intuitive - like unwikifying a NonWikiWord that it mistakenly assumes must be a WikiWord | 10:38 |
| elkbuntu | `` is your friend | 10:38 |
| lotusleaf | tonyyarusso: ya? :P | 10:38 |
| tonyyarusso | elkbuntu: So I learned, but seriously, that's a whacked punctuation. | 10:39 |
| elkbuntu | tonyyarusso, every wiki has it's quirks | 10:39 |
| lotusleaf | elkbuntu: `` ? I see I have much to learn. About the only wiki I've edited before now was Wikipedia. | 10:39 |
| lotusleaf | tonyyarusso: I'll stick with the light stuff, then. =) | 10:39 |

| danbuch929 | for those that use bzr, I've just pushed out a revision of all the sources, too | 12:09 |

| jenda | woo :) | 02:12 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: wee | 02:28 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: you around? I have a question re: wiki editing, very simple one | 02:29 |
| jenda | go on? | 02:29 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: thanks, I noticed some outdated information on a kubuntu wiki and I thought about correcting it, should I dive right in or msg a kubuntu person? I tried imbrandon but he's afk it seems. I'm new to editing *buntu wikis and wondered if the approach should be 'ask first' or dive right in? | 02:30 |
| jenda | dive right in. | 02:31 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: roger that, thx =) | 02:31 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: sell all your posters? | 02:31 |
| jenda | The kubuntu people will be notified automatically, and if you screw up, you're in trouble :) | 02:31 |
| lotusleaf | hahaha :) | 02:31 |
| jenda | however, the wiki can easily be reverted, so no biggie. | 02:31 |
| lotusleaf | cool =) thx for the extra info | 02:31 |
| jenda | 178 posters left. | 02:31 |
| lotusleaf | cool, someone should change the # on the ubuntuforums green header info thing | 02:32 |
| lotusleaf | that would drive up demand | 02:32 |
| lotusleaf | :) | 02:32 |
| lotusleaf | only ### remaining! | 02:32 |
| jenda | hhe :) | 02:32 |
| lotusleaf | 8) | 02:32 |
| jenda | I have that in the thread, but I can't bother them admins each time someone buys :) | 02:32 |
| jenda | I'll get the number changed once we are under 100 | 02:33 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: ha, true. :) have you thought about setting up some type of official ubuntu marketing on-line store? | 02:33 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: you know, like cafepress but done differently? | 02:33 |
| jenda | that's kind-of the diy site | 02:33 |
| lotusleaf | ah! :) | 02:33 |
| jenda | but it will also offer downloads. | 02:33 |
| lotusleaf | awesome | 02:33 |
| jenda | And the entire point is that the material is done _unofficially_ | 02:33 |
| lotusleaf | ya | 02:34 |
| lotusleaf | I'd like to see an ubuntu logo hoola hoop :) | 02:34 |
| jenda | as in, it's the manufacturer himself who manages all the quality control and finances, and thus eliminates the need for a QA team and a financial apparatus, reducing the strain on Ubuntu | 02:34 |
| jenda | and throwing it on the producer... | 02:34 |
| lotusleaf | ah, very true | 02:34 |
| jenda | ...who is me, currently :/ | 02:34 |
| lotusleaf | jenda: do you ever take a vacation? :) | 02:35 |
| jenda | No :) | 02:35 |
| lotusleaf | :-) | 02:35 |
| jenda | But I try to study in the meantime. | 02:35 |
| lotusleaf | that's good | 02:35 |
| === lotusleaf gonna dive in the wiki ;) | ||
| lotusleaf | thanks again for the help | 02:36 |

| tsmithe | bah | 11:05 |
| poningru | blargh? | 11:09 |
| poningru | you know we should get this press team thing started up | 11:09 |
| poningru | I mean granted ceo is the biggest marketing person for a company | 11:09 |
| poningru | but still sabdfl shouldnt have to do all the work... | 11:10 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, i think it's a bit more complicated than that | 11:10 |
| poningru | well yeah | 11:10 |
| poningru | I wanted to start with local press | 11:10 |
| tsmithe | press team | 11:11 |
| tsmithe | count me | 11:11 |
| poningru | in? | 11:11 |
| tsmithe | in | 11:11 |
| poningru | :p | 11:11 |
| tsmithe | yes in | 11:11 |
| poningru | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/PressTeam | 11:11 |
| poningru | we need to change mathew as lead | 11:12 |
| poningru | if no one is willing to step up | 11:12 |
| poningru | I am willing to do it | 11:12 |
| tsmithe | i am also... but i have no time | 11:12 |
| tsmithe | so i am a bad choice | 11:12 |
| poningru | the problem is | 11:12 |
| tsmithe | don't pick me | 11:12 |
| tsmithe | yes, poningru | 11:12 |
| poningru | I will be absent sometimes I will be absent for like 2 weeks or so | 11:13 |
| poningru | due to tests/papers | 11:13 |
| poningru | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/PressTeam/EPK | 11:13 |
| poningru | that is what I wanted to push for edgy | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | same | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | o | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | k | 11:13 |
| poningru | but I never got to it | 11:13 |
| poningru | and so I am thinking lets do that for Feisty | 11:14 |
| tsmithe | i can write a "press release" with ease | 11:14 |
| poningru | yeah I think canonical writes the press releases | 11:15 |
| tsmithe | damn | 11:15 |
| tsmithe | so what's that page in aid of | 11:15 |
| poningru | the problem is getting them to the local pres | 11:15 |
| poningru | s | 11:15 |
| tsmithe | i'd write my own | 11:15 |
| poningru | yeah... except we have to talk to canonical about this | 11:15 |
| tsmithe | every loco team should have a press-release-dude who sends out these to the local press | 11:15 |
| poningru | Burgwork^^ | 11:15 |
| === MitchM [i=fwuser@208.243.85.3] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| tsmithe | even if it's just the standard canonical (pun, eh!) release | 11:16 |
| poningru | err that should have been for jono except he isnt here | 11:16 |
| Burgwork | right | 11:16 |
| poningru | right translation etc. for the local press | 11:16 |
| Burgwork | the press team should go a collect somebody from each loco to help them get into the local press | 11:16 |
| tsmithe | that's what i said | 11:17 |
| tsmithe | any other points, any one? | 11:18 |
| tsmithe | this should have a spec | 11:18 |
| poningru | when is loco team meeting? | 11:18 |
| Burgwork | you need to go to each loco team and ask them | 11:18 |
| tsmithe | not during school heures hopefully | 11:18 |
| tsmithe | indeed | 11:20 |
| poningru | tsmithe: can you add howto write your own press release onto that page? | 11:21 |
| poningru | the EPK | 11:21 |
| tsmithe | poningru, i will, maybe tomorrow | 11:21 |
| poningru | cool thanks | 11:21 |
| tsmithe | gotta go to bed. do homework | 11:21 |
| tsmithe | etc | 11:21 |
| poningru | I will talk to jono or elkbuntu | 11:21 |
| poningru | true | 11:21 |
| poningru | where are you from? | 11:21 |
| tsmithe | kent | 11:21 |
| === poningru is from florida us | ||
| poningru | kent? | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | you should know where it is | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | i know where florida is | 11:22 |
| poningru | too many kents around dude | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | *the* kent | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | original | 11:22 |
| poningru | like the one in UK? | 11:22 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, the guy has .uk hostmask | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | not like | 11:22 |
| poningru | or the one in US | 11:22 |
| poningru | oh... | 11:22 |
| tsmithe | there is only one kent | 11:23 |
| poningru | :( | 11:23 |
| poningru | hehe | 11:23 |
| poningru | there is a kent in the US | 11:23 |
| tsmithe | it's fickle | 11:23 |
| poningru | somewhere in northern US near the lakes iirc | 11:23 |
| poningru | anyway should we write up a spec for this? | 11:24 |
| tsmithe | yes | 11:24 |
| tsmithe | loco-press-releases? | 11:25 |
| poningru | yeah allows us to communicate with canonical much easier | 11:25 |
| poningru | sounds good | 11:25 |
| tsmithe | indeed | 11:25 |
| poningru | I will work on that today | 11:25 |
| tsmithe | it should have the contents of EPK on it? | 11:25 |
| poningru | hmm that was mostly written up to help people | 11:25 |
| poningru | the spec should have more than that | 11:25 |
| tsmithe | Indeed, but: Implementation | 11:25 |
| poningru | as in what we are trying to accomplish etc. | 11:25 |
| poningru | arr? | 11:26 |
| tsmithe | e-mail me the address of the spec | 11:26 |
| elkbuntu | poningru, how's your loco going? | 11:26 |
| poningru | k | 11:26 |

| tsmithe | elkbuntu, is england tiny in your reckoning? | 11:32 |
| poningru | tsmithe: very | 11:32 |
| elkbuntu | tsmithe, yes | 11:32 |
| Burgwork | all you people have it easy | 11:32 |
| Burgwork | I have people seperated by 6000km | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | which people? | 11:32 |
| poningru | hah the US is frackin huge | 11:32 |
| poningru | rofl | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | yeah... | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | but for a place hundreds of times the size | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | it only has 5x the population | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | so england is more crowded | 11:32 |
| poningru | true | 11:32 |
| poningru | jenda: where was it? | 11:33 |
| poningru | which city? | 11:33 |
| === poningru assumes Prague | ||
| === tsmithe is of the accord | ||
| jenda | poningru: you assume right | 11:34 |
| jenda | We don't have any other cities:) | 11:34 |
| poningru | hehe | 11:34 |
| elkbuntu | Burgwork, all due respect dude.. perth -- sydney isnt a whole lot better... the actual milage becomes a moot point when it takes more than a day to drive | 11:34 |
| jenda | In fact, Prague is the biggest village ;) | 11:34 |
| poningru | rofl | 11:34 |
| tsmithe | i live on a farm ;) | 11:34 |
| Burgwork | elkbuntu: but most of your population is in one strip | 11:34 |
| elkbuntu | a doglegged one | 11:35 |
| tsmithe | meh | 11:35 |
| tsmithe | i'm off | 11:35 |

| poningru | canada is an entire strip | 11:36 |
| poningru | population of* | 11:36 |
| Burgwork | east coast of aussie is shorter than the canadian one | 11:36 |
| poningru | its a very wide strip but still... | 11:37 |
| poningru | hmm true | 11:37 |
| elkbuntu | Burgwork, adelaide is quite fruitful for us too, you know | 11:37 |

| elkbuntu | jenda, going through the debating about whether we need one | 11:49 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, we tend to speak the same language as ubuntuforums.org | 11:49 |

| jenda | you can request an english subforum there, though, if you want :) | 11:49 |
| jenda | Many english-speaking teams have. | 11:50 |
