[08:47] <towsonu2003> hi
[08:47] <Red_Herring> hi
[08:47] <MenZa> hi
[08:47] <Burgundavia> hi
[08:48] <towsonu2003> I've got a question about the 23rd issue of the newsletter...
[08:48] <Burgundavia> shoot
[08:48] <towsonu2003> could you check out the news item on Kurdish Ubuntu
[08:48] <towsonu2003> is it explanatory enough? I mean
[08:48] <towsonu2003> for people outside Turkey etc
[08:48] <towsonu2003> ?
[08:50] <towsonu2003> here's its link by the way ( :) ) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue23#head-590a33f069e5a84dfdeaba9ffd29f10511eac350
[08:51] <towsonu2003> did I loose you?
[08:53] <Burgundavia> nope
[08:53] <poningru> I think you did
[08:53] <poningru> :(
[08:53] <Burgundavia> looking and thinking
[08:53] <poningru> what are we talking aboot?
[08:53] <Burgundavia> the words are a little short
[08:53] <Burgundavia> might want to fluff them out a bit
[08:54] <Burgundavia> crap. I clear my inbox and 10 minutes later I have 15 new messages
[08:54] <elkbuntu> Burgundavia, so long as i can understand the info, i can deal with fluffing
[08:54] <Burgundavia> ok
[08:54] <Burgundavia> I like fluffy people :)
[08:54] <elkbuntu> hehe
[08:55] <elkbuntu> towsonu2003, to look up what we mean by fluffing? we mean add more to it so it looks bigger
[08:55] <towsonu2003> ah okay
[08:55] <elkbuntu> think of how a bird puffs its feathers out.. sort of like that
[08:56] <elkbuntu> hahaha
[08:56] <elkbuntu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue23#head-590a33f069e5a84dfdeaba9ffd29f10511eac350
[08:56] <towsonu2003> what kind of info would you like to see in there?
[08:56] <towsonu2003> lol
[08:56] <towsonu2003> the original news is *really* short :)
[08:56] <poningru> I walk in and its towsonu2003 asking someone if he lost them
[08:57] <towsonu2003> poningru, lol heheh
[08:57] <poningru> then people start talking about fluffing up words/people
[08:57] <elkbuntu> towsonu2003, we'll ask you if we need to
[08:58] <elkbuntu> Burgundavia, if you can put a heap of idea links down like there was this past edition, i'll work on writing them up. that worked really well
[08:58] <Burgundavia> towsonu2003: the main things I see are consistency of language (Ubuntu in Kurdish vs Kurdish Ubuntu)
[08:58] <towsonu2003> elkbuntu, okay then, just add a note to that news item -I'm already subscribed to it... Burgundavia, I'll fix that now...
[08:58] <Burgundavia> also maybe another sentence, as it is a bit short right now
[09:01] <towsonu2003> :)
[09:02] <towsonu2003> Burgundavia, if you think any info is missing in the item, just add a note there -I'm subscribed to it bc it is a bit controversial
[09:02] <Burgundavia> ok
[09:02] <Burgundavia> thanks for giving us some news
[09:25] <poningru> Burgundavia: is it herd or hurd?
[09:26] <Burgundavia> herd
[09:26] <Burgundavia> hurd is vapourware
[09:26] <poningru> :p
[09:26] <poningru> just fixing up couple of stuff on the marketing team
[09:27] <poningru> page on the wiki
[09:55] <poningru> hope you are ok
[10:25] <elkbuntu> Burgundavia, are you still around?
[10:31] <poningru> if you noticed that was client quit...
[10:31] <elkbuntu> i wasnt paying that much attention
[03:44] <ttoine> hey people
[03:44] <ttoine> i have an idea
[03:45] <ttoine> what about having an icon on the Ubuntu desktop after installation that will launch a small gui to register the computer and user on Ubuntu Counter ?
[03:45] <MenZa> I like it
[03:45] <ttoine> that would be great, because only a few people know about its existance
[03:45] <MenZa> choo think?
[03:46] <ttoine> what mean choo ?
[03:46] <jenda> ouch!
[03:46] <jenda> I like it.
[03:46] <lotusleaf> ttoine: "I am not a number, I'm a free man!"
[03:47] <tonyyarusso> I'm doubtful.  Certain folks aren't fond of the idea of cluttering the desktop.
[03:49] <jenda> indeed...
[03:49] <jenda> I'm not exactly for that, but I think there should be some sort of wercome page, and this should be included.
[03:51] <ttoine> lotusleaf: it is why we must think about how to name that
[03:51] <ttoine> not jsut "register my comuter"
[03:53] <ttoine> "welcome" sound good to me
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> MenZaLap: , jenda , lotusleaf Re: the welcome thing earlier - what if it was a first-run-only thing for not automatically, nor on the desktop, but the first time they clicked the little "?" icon in the panel that's in Edgy?
[05:37] <jenda> hey
[05:37] <jenda> that's a good idea
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> I'll see if I can figure out who to talk to about that
[05:43] <jenda> ok
[05:48] <MenZaLap> hmm
[05:48] <MenZaLap> 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] <tonyyarusso> perhaps
[05:51] <tonyyarusso> Maybe it could even be enabled or not with a checkbox in the live CD installer
[05:52] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: sounds cool, especially if it was an optional thing like popularity contest and the kde first time wizard
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> lotusleaf: Is popcon in the installer?
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> I'm also not familiar with KDE's thing - details would be appreciated
[05:53] <somerville32> You might look at xubuntu-welcome-centre
[05:53] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: I believe it's installed by default but I don't believe it's on by default, is it? There's an option to disable/enable it though
[05:54] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: I think with the previous release of Ubuntu it was on by default
[05:54] <tonyyarusso> lotusleaf: Where is the option located?
[05:54] <lotusleaf> dpkg -l popcon
[05:54] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: hmm.. I forget
[05:55] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: I saw it in something when I used Gnome but I'm in KDE now
[05:55] <tonyyarusso> Okay
[05:57] <lotusleaf> found it
[05:58] <lotusleaf> Software Sources -> Statistics
[05:58] <tonyyarusso> ah
[05:59] <lotusleaf> http://popcon.ubuntu.com/
[06:05] <lotusleaf> the url of which is now included in !popcon
[06:58] <jenda> mmm
[06:58] <jenda> A tube costs $1
[06:58] <jenda> that means shipping A2 posters is entirely possible...
[06:58] <jenda> mmm
[07:00] <jenda> No!
[07:01] <somerville32> :] 
[07:15] <MenZaLap> Yes jenda!
[07:15] <MenZaLap> Doooo eeeeet
[07:15] <jenda> nooo
[07:15] <jenda> I couldn't sell near enough.
[07:34] <somerville32> I'll buy 20
[07:34] <jenda> really?
[07:35] <somerville32> Depends if they're good or not
[07:35] <jenda> you can buy 20 A3 posters now, you know that, right? :)
[07:35] <somerville32> Where?
[07:35] <jenda> for $25
[07:35] <jenda> lemme link
[07:35] <jenda> http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Posters/HanZo/poster-layout.jpg
[07:35] <jenda> where?
[07:35] <jenda> here:
[07:35] <jenda> <---
[07:35] <somerville32> I want to put Ubuntu posters all over my city, haha
[07:36] <jenda> I've already sold 277, and people seem to be happy with them :)
[07:36] <somerville32> Is A2 bigger then A3?
[07:36] <jenda> yes - twice
[07:36] <somerville32> Maybe I could find a local printer and do it super cheap, haha
[07:36] <jenda> Dimensions: 297 mm x 420 mm (11.69" in x 16.54" in)
[07:36] <jenda> A3
[07:37] <jenda> That's what I did - doesn't $25 for 20 posters seem super cheap? :)
[07:37] <somerville32> http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html
[07:37] <jenda> yep
[07:38] <jenda> 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] <jenda> So - the price is $25 for 20, if you want them, drop me a line ;)
[07:38] <somerville32> Can I pay with paypal?
[07:39] <jenda> of course
[07:40] <somerville32> Hmm...
[07:42] <somerville32> How much are the A2?
[07:44] <jenda> I don't have any A2 :)
[07:44] <jenda> That was just a theoretical musing.
[07:51] <somerville32> :] 
[07:52] <MenZa> Another reason I love Ubuntu so much.
[07:52] <MenZa> If someone asks me something I cbf to do, I tell them there's an Ubuntu meeting coming up
[07:52] <MenZa> works every time
[07:52] <MenZa> :d
[07:54] <somerville32> cbf?
[07:55] <jenda> hehe :)
[07:55] <MenZa> can't be fucked.
[07:55] <MenZa> :p
[07:55] <jenda> !language
[07:55] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:55] <jenda> 
[07:56] <somerville32> :)
[07:56] <somerville32> How do you do the little smile thinger?
[08:02] <jenda> hehe
[08:02] <jenda> i have it on my keyboard.
[08:02] <jenda> I made the layout myself.
[08:05] <somerville32> hehe
[08:08] <somerville32> Jenda: Where do you live?
[08:13] <jenda> somerville32: Czech Republic
[08:13] <somerville32> How long to ship to Canada?
[08:13] <MenZa> somerville32: A week, two perhaps
[08:14] <jenda> usually about a week, yes.
[08:14] <jenda> MenZa: anything yet?
[08:14] <MenZa> none
[08:15] <jenda> You'd be the first not to receive a shipment.
[08:15] <MenZa> oh, it'll get here
[08:16] <jenda> I sure hope so :)
