| wiiprush | this entire 3 weeks has been nothing but ridiculousness | 08:19 |
| imbrandon | yea really | 08:20 |
| wiiprush | I don't even know if that's a word | 08:20 |
| imbrandon | i think it will go on for about 6 to 9 months then we'll see whats really gonna happen | 08:20 |
| imbrandon | hahaha | 08:20 |

| imbrandon | lol | 08:22 |
| elkbuntu | im starting to think about going and harrassing them | 08:22 |
| imbrandon | i had a copy a while back but i gave it away at our lug as a "prize" | 08:22 |

| imbrandon | i was like umm thats what i just pasted :) | 08:23 |
| wiiprush | http://lovesunix.net/blog/?p=150 | 08:23 |
| wiiprush | "3) Replace Beagle with Tracker, it.s saddens me a bit to be honest. I generally like Mono and I.m a huge C# syntax fan. But it just kills small rigs and with the now imfamous Novell/Microsoft deal the legal aspect of Mono is once again in limbo as I understand. The saddest thing for me about removing Mono from my system had to be loosing Banshee. I grew really fond of the 0.11 series, it was nice and stable and it has the be | 08:23 |
| wiiprush | so this dude | 08:24 |
| wiiprush | reads like /. or something | 08:24 |
| wiiprush | and is like "I am going to remove mono." | 08:24 |
| imbrandon | hahaha | 08:24 |
| elkbuntu | rofl | 08:24 |
| imbrandon | dude do they not realize mono is a ecma standard ? | 08:24 |
| imbrandon | err c# | 08:24 |
| imbrandon | 1934 iirc , i might be wrong on the number | 08:25 |
| wiiprush | this entire novell thing is awesome | 08:25 |
| imbrandon | but still | 08:25 |
| wiiprush | you have these people like "fuck suse, they made a deal with MS." | 08:25 |
| wiiprush | and we ship more mono stuff on our CD than anyone. | 08:25 |
| imbrandon | right | 08:25 |
| imbrandon | heh | 08:25 |
| poningru | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/loco-press-releases | 08:25 |
| imbrandon | not only that , if they actauly read the novel stuff it was all about the IP /novell/ owns in MS office, not the other way | 08:26 |
| imbrandon | wiiprush: ^ | 08:26 |
| imbrandon | balmer just fucked up, and its funny that MS made another press release saying so | 08:26 |
| imbrandon | errr CoC , i dident say F*cked | 08:26 |
| wiiprush | dude ballmer has been rattling that IP sword for going on two years now. | 08:27 |
| imbrandon | yea | 08:27 |
| imbrandon | if not more | 08:27 |
| imbrandon | and its funny when the other hand realeases things like windows ce6 opensource, the right not knowing the left hand is doing | 08:27 |
| imbrandon | etc etc etc | 08:27 |
| imbrandon | its all the old timers at MS thats screwing things up | 08:28 |
| wiiprush | well, what kind of pissess me off | 08:28 |
| wiiprush | is that novell is obviously listening to its customers | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | if MS released every bit of code GPL today except MS office and made MS Office use ODF , they would make billions | 08:28 |
| wiiprush | they don't care about what we care about | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | and billions more | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | right | 08:28 |
| wiiprush | they just want their shit to work | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | exactly, they dont care HOW | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | just that it DOES | 08:29 |
| wiiprush | and for better or worse novell tries to fulfill that need. | 08:29 |
| wiiprush | because they do afterall, have to make money | 08:29 |
| imbrandon | kinda like the OSX crowd, its unixy enough for geeks but JUST WORKS, and i think thats whats picked up apple in the tech crowd lately | 08:29 |
| wiiprush | well, I won't go that far. | 08:30 |
| wiiprush | but I will say that novell and MS are listening to customers | 08:30 |
| wiiprush | and customers don't care about the gpl | 08:30 |
| wiiprush | or freedom | 08:30 |
| wiiprush | or whatever | 08:30 |
| wiiprush | they want their shit to work. | 08:30 |
| imbrandon | well not in the same respects, the do when it effects their pocketbooks later but they dont think about that untill two years into the lockin | 08:31 |
| imbrandon | when something go's wrong | 08:31 |
| imbrandon | but yea , thats pretty much the whole thing, they dont really care | 08:31 |
| imbrandon | they just want shit to work | 08:31 |
| imbrandon | in the long run i think its gonna create 3 teirs of OS's instead of mostly 2 now , there really is 3 now but it will be blured even less in the months to come | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | in that ..... | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | you have MS windows ( / OSX ) | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | then you have linux with openly closed source crap by big guys like novel | 08:33 |
| imbrandon | and the gap between them and like ubuntu or debian will widen as they wont ork togather as much | 08:33 |
| imbrandon | anhd you'll have free in every sense of the word os's | 08:33 |
| nixternal | you guys have read the statement about ballmer saying it is possiple that every developer owes microsoft money over intellectual property? | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | all three exist today but the line between the linuxe's is blurred | 08:34 |
| wiiprush | imbrandon: it's funny you mention that | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | and it wontbe imho | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | in the time to come | 08:34 |
| wiiprush | "openly closed source crap" = novell | 08:34 |
| wiiprush | it takes an MS deal to make everyone switch from suse | 08:34 |
| nixternal | NSOSS == Not So Open Source | 08:34 |
| wiiprush | you'd think YAST would have been a better reason | 08:34 |
| === davehat [n=David@212.49.74.253] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| imbrandon | right, thats what i mean, it exists today , but this will widen the gap | 08:35 |
| imbrandon | and make people look more closely i think | 08:35 |
| imbrandon | and essentialy creat two teirs of linux | 08:35 |
| wiiprush | "i've had enough of Novell being an MS lapdog, I'm switching to kubuntu." | 08:35 |
| imbrandon | heheh :) | 08:35 |
| imbrandon | hrm, i never really put that into so many words, maybe i'll make a blog post about it and see if i can get soem feedback | 08:36 |

| jenda | poningru: please consider not creating a sub-team on launchpad - we would soon have a million :) | 08:57 |

| tsmithe | poningru, you should really link the spec to the wiki page ;) | 08:58 |
| tsmithe | so i can see it, and add my comments | 08:58 |
| tsmithe | oh, and jenda, how do i check out a bzr branch? | 09:00 |
| poningru | jenda: hmm ok | 09:00 |
| tsmithe | bzr co <what?> | 09:00 |
| poningru | tsmithe: true that | 09:00 |
| jenda | tsmithe: the http://URL of the branch | 09:00 |
| Burgwork | poningru: only create a seperate team if you already have a large number of people that don't seem to fit into the marketing team | 09:01 |
| Burgwork | which you probably don't | 09:01 |
| jenda | poningru: OTOH, don't feel obliged to follow what I say ;) | 09:01 |
| tsmithe | what would the url be for the diy site stuffs then, jenda? | 09:01 |
| jenda | ah | 09:01 |
| jenda | https://code.launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-marketing/+branch/spreadubuntu/spreadubuntu | 09:02 |
| poningru | hehe | 09:02 |
| tsmithe | jenda: sorry - i just worked it out ;) | 09:02 |
| tsmithe | thanks anyway | 09:02 |
| jenda | np | 09:02 |

| tsmithe | urgh branch is big | 09:14 |
| tsmithe | ah well | 09:14 |
| tsmithe | this first slog is the longest | 09:14 |
| jenda | yeah, it's over 100 MiB, sorry :) | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | so that's 10 minutes on this connection | 09:18 |
| tsmithe | not too bad | 09:18 |
| === rexbron [n=rexbron@keele-b240-21.airyork.yorku.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| tsmithe | err... on that branch, the posters page isn't up to date | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | can't we keep everything in one place? | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | surely that's the point of version control | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | never mind | 09:28 |
| === tsmithe was looking in the wrong directory | ||
| tsmithe | :P | 09:29 |
| tsmithe | hang on | 09:29 |
| tsmithe | that's not up to date either | 09:29 |
| tsmithe | ... | 09:29 |
| poningru | grr I am gonan put this upto a vote | 09:29 |
| tsmithe | poningru, what? | 09:29 |
| Burgwork | poningru: hmm? | 09:29 |
| tsmithe | "gonan"? vote? | 09:30 |
| poningru | gonna | 09:31 |
| poningru | :P | 09:31 |
| poningru | email the -marketing to ask if we should make a press team | 09:31 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:31 |
| Burgwork | poningru: voting is a sign that consensus has failed | 09:35 |
| poningru | yeah | 09:35 |
| poningru | I think I am just gonna make the team | 09:35 |
| Burgwork | poningru: you only need a team if you have a large number of people that don't clearly fit within the marketing team | 09:35 |
| Burgwork | which I don't see | 09:35 |
| tsmithe | can someone with access to that branch update it? i'm just checking out dan buch's branch to see if that is more up to date, although launchpad suggests otherwise | 09:35 |
| jenda | tsmithe: the bzr branch isn't as up-to date as the diy.devubuntu.ftp - that's a working version. | 09:36 |
| poningru | Burgwork: the problem is that not everyone in marketing wants to be involved in press stuff | 09:36 |
| Burgwork | poningru: so | 09:36 |
| tsmithe | jenda, i think you meant ".com" ;) | 09:36 |
| tsmithe | plus, where does that get it's source from? | 09:36 |
| Burgwork | I don't much care about diy stuff, but that doesn't mean I have a seperate team for it | 09:36 |
| tsmithe | not bzr? | 09:36 |
| poningru | Burgwork: oh not diy | 09:36 |
| poningru | Burgwork: this is for portion of marketing to work with canonical | 09:37 |
| jenda | tsmithe: yes, .com | 09:37 |
| Burgwork | all marketing works with canonical to some degree | 09:37 |
| jenda | and it gets source from ftp, by dan and me. | 09:37 |
| tsmithe | bah | 09:37 |
| poningru | so that we can do things like localized press releases at the same time | 09:37 |
| tsmithe | jenda, that's no good! | 09:37 |
| poningru | Burgwork: right | 09:37 |
| Burgwork | that is simply a project with the marketing team | 09:37 |
| tsmithe | jenda, what if others want to help? | 09:38 |
| jenda | tsmithe: it's a working version, and it's a lot faster than bzr'ing | 09:38 |
| poningru | right... but we can be a subset of marketing team | 09:38 |
| Burgwork | as a project | 09:38 |
| Burgwork | there is no need for YAT | 09:38 |
| jenda | tsmithe: then they ask, and we start coordinating. | 09:38 |
| poningru | but it would'nt be just another project | 09:38 |
| jenda | I guess we could open a new branch. I'll contact the launchpad folks. | 09:38 |
| Burgwork | yes it would | 09:38 |
| Burgwork | poningru: it is no more unique the diy or the UWN | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | jenda, indeed... but bzr is more open... and if people aren't happy with it, its speed looks set to improve | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | and i'd like to help | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | jenda, why a new branch? we already have a few | 09:39 |
| jenda | One branch for the website, one branch for the content. Makes sense to me - what do you say, tsmithe? | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | sounds good | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | but we should also clean up the old branches | 09:39 |
| jenda | I don't know any other branches. | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | err... | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | https://code.launchpad.net/products/spreadubuntu/+branches | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | there are five there | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | one mature, two abandoned, two new | 09:40 |
| jenda | the umag is abandoned. | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:40 |
| jenda | fixed | 09:40 |
| jenda | ok, we're close to the two branches needed. | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | i just fixed it! | 09:41 |
| Burgwork | poningru: honestly, you don't need another team | 09:41 |
| jenda | tsmithe: we both did, then :) | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | lol | 09:41 |
| jenda | poningru: I'll second that :) | 09:42 |
| jenda | poningru: I'd be starting Spreadubuntu team #3 by now. | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | so.. we gonna use dan's "CMS-ified" branch for the site, and yours for content? | 09:42 |
| jenda | pretty much. | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | right ho | 09:42 |
| jenda | although dan put his branch under his name. | 09:42 |
| jenda | one of the abandoned branches is my first SU branch - under my name, I moved it to teh MT later. | 09:43 |
| jenda | This way, only he has access. | 09:43 |
| jenda | (I think) | 09:43 |
| tsmithe | right | 09:43 |
| tsmithe | it should be set to the team | 09:43 |
| jenda | And even if not, it's better if it's /ubuntu-marketing/ | 09:43 |
| tsmithe | yeah | 09:44 |
| poningru | Burgwork: I was hoping to make press team do more than just that project though | 09:44 |
| poningru | like actually act as the contact for media | 09:44 |
| Burgwork | poningru: what else are they going todo? write press releases? | 09:44 |
| jenda | we've been down this road before | 09:45 |
| jenda | er... I have. | 09:45 |
| tsmithe | what road? | 09:45 |
| Burgwork | press releases and contacts to the media should be handled by canonical | 09:45 |
| tsmithe | poningru's? | 09:45 |
| Burgwork | in non-english, they should be handled by the locoteam | 09:45 |
| jenda | I tried to open a press team under the old mark eting team forum, and it was what began the argument between the 'leader' and me. | 09:45 |
| jenda | err... I _opened_, not tried to. | 09:45 |
| tsmithe | argument? leader? | 09:46 |
| jenda | And a few days later, he took the entire thing down :) | 09:46 |
| jenda | Yes, but that's half a year pass now. | 09:46 |
| jenda | He was a self-invited Marketing Team Leader. And self-banished later on. | 09:46 |

| poningru | frack | 09:56 |
| poningru | I dont know whether to make a team or not now | 09:56 |
| poningru | Burgwork: right | 09:56 |
| poningru | but I dont think loco team members would want to do press release stuff | 09:56 |
| Burgwork | make a project, it is less work | 09:56 |
| Burgwork | if it turns out you need a team later, it is easy to create one | 09:57 |
| tsmithe | poningru, who do you think wants to do the press release stuff? | 10:01 |
| poningru | marketing+locoteam members | 10:02 |
| tsmithe | but you don't think loco team members would want to do press release stuff! | 10:02 |
| tsmithe | so us? | 10:02 |
| === tsmithe thinks, nay, *knows* bzr is slow | ||
| tsmithe | argh! | 10:05 |
| Burgwork | any translated press releases should be closely coordinated with canonical | 10:05 |
| tsmithe | yes | 10:06 |
| Burgwork | and people can wear many hats, some of which overlap | 10:06 |
| Burgwork | I am both a Canadian and Marketing team member | 10:06 |
| Burgwork | however, there is no need to create a marketing-canada team for marketing in canada | 10:06 |
| Burgwork | this is similar | 10:06 |
| tsmithe | i am a briton and marketing team member | 10:07 |
| tsmithe | and there is no uk-marketing team | 10:07 |
| Burgwork | nor should there be | 10:07 |
| tsmithe | when there is a need for one, we will have one | 10:07 |
| tsmithe | not until then | 10:07 |
| tsmithe | crazy lag of doom!!! | 10:10 |
| poningru | sorry my cousins are here | 10:10 |
| poningru | so I will be in and out | 10:10 |
| poningru | hehe my aunt is interested in ubuntu | 10:11 |

| tonyyarusso | Burgwork: Re: press releases earlier, I've found the press releases Canonical sends out with new releases are not well-suited to people that have never heard of open source, Linux, or even know the distinction between "the computer" and "Microsoft Windows". | 10:34 |
| Burgwork | tonyyarusso: given they are aimed at the tech press, I am not surprised | 10:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Burgwork: Nor am I | 10:34 |
| tonyyarusso | We need press releases from somebody that are aimed differently, whether it's Canonical that writes them or community folks. | 10:35 |
| Burgwork | probably | 10:35 |
| Burgwork | I have poked Christina at canonical several times, asking her to introduce herself, to no end | 10:36 |
| Burgwork | just did so again | 10:37 |
