[05:37] hey [05:37] that's a good idea [05:39] I'll see if I can figure out who to talk to about that [05:43] ok [05:48] hmm [05:48] Just a Welcome dialogue on boot, with a small tickbox in the corner that allows you to enable auto showing upon start, or not? [05:50] perhaps [05:51] Maybe it could even be enabled or not with a checkbox in the live CD installer [05:52] tonyyarusso: sounds cool, especially if it was an optional thing like popularity contest and the kde first time wizard [05:53] lotusleaf: Is popcon in the installer? [05:53] I'm also not familiar with KDE's thing - details would be appreciated [05:53] You might look at xubuntu-welcome-centre [05:53] tonyyarusso: I believe it's installed by default but I don't believe it's on by default, is it?

[07:35] Depends if they're good or not [07:35] you can buy 20 A3 posters now, you know that, right? :) [07:35] Where?

[07:36] yes - twice [07:36] Maybe I could find a local printer and do it super cheap, haha [07:36] Dimensions: 297 mm x 420 mm (11.69" in x 16.54" in) [07:36] A3 [07:37] That's what I did - doesn't $25 for 20 posters seem super cheap? :) [07:37] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html [07:37] yep [07:38] theoretically, I could go down to $20, but it would be _really_ close, and I'd probably end up in the red because of the currency conversion, transfer and other fees. [07:38] So - the price is $25 for 20, if you want them, drop me a line ;) [07:38] Can I pay with paypal? [07:39] of course === somerville32 checks his paypal balance and notices it is $133.77 CAD [07:40] Hmm... [07:42] How much are the A2? [07:44] I don't have any A2 :) [07:44] That was just a theoretical musing. [07:51] :] [07:52] Another reason I love Ubuntu so much. [07:52] If someone asks me something I cbf to do, I tell them there's an Ubuntu meeting coming up [07:52] works every time [07:52] :d [07:54] cbf? [07:55] hehe :) [07:55] can't be fucked.
