[07:42] <elkbuntu> jenda, are you around?
[09:00] <jenda> elkbuntu: am now
[09:00] <jenda> What's up?
[09:01] <Madpilot> hey jenda 
[09:01] <jenda> oi, Brian.
[09:11] <elkbuntu> jenda, who deals with the loco sub forums? i need to retract a request made by someone purporting to request on behalf of the team
[09:11] <elkbuntu> and i seem to have asked in the wrong channel anyway :
[09:12] <elkbuntu> afk, dinner
[09:42] <jenda> elkbuntu: sorry, was away.
[09:42] <jenda> I can take care of that.
[09:49] <elkbuntu> jenda, thanks
[09:49] <elkbuntu> the idiot hasnt even listed himself on the members page, and decides he can speak for us
[09:52] <jenda> CoC, Melissa :)
[09:53] <elkbuntu> well... it was as restrained as i could manage
[09:54] <jenda> elkbuntu: I don't see such a request anywhere...
[09:55] <elkbuntu> ok, i can only take his word that he made the request, since he has never spoken with me, or replied to my email
[09:58] <jenda> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=181
[09:59] <jenda> That's where the request would be, and should be... and isn't.
[09:59] <elkbuntu> thank goodness
[12:12] <jenda> elkbuntu: do you think the changes I just made to the UWN could be somehow implemented in the template so that I didn't have to do it all over again each week?
[12:12] <jenda> It's the 'this week's quiz' section.
[12:12] <jenda> Which I'll do my best to manage every single week.
[12:12] <elkbuntu> i think you should be able to
[12:13] <jenda> How/link/help/hold-hand/hint please? :)
[12:18] <elkbuntu> hehe... i usually just type in an invalid url to find templates
[12:23] <jenda> aha :)
[12:24] <jenda> elkbuntu: any tips on where I should put it in teh 'zletter?
[12:25] <elkbuntu> where has it been going? i've been sort of disconnected from the past few issues
[12:33] <jenda> well, I just chose a random spot above the regular pieces, and below the unique reports...
[09:34] <lotusleaf> Burg in da house
[09:39] <stefg> Ok, here's an idea I'm chewing on for quite a while: Canonical (or a whoever) could accept the coupons for Xin Vista, which come with all the shiny new boxes  under the Xmas tree, but for an Ubuntu DVD and , say, 3 months commercial support. (Best would be a boxed Ubuntu release with support agreement)
[09:40] <stefg> guerilla style
[09:41] <stefg> Even if not too many people would really accept that, the public announcement of it would be nice move :-)
[09:42] <lotusleaf> coupons for what?
[09:43] <stefg> The coupons for Windows Vista. The retailers put upgrade coupons with their boxes, not to worry people because 'Vista comes next month'
[09:44] <stefg> So the average box comes with XP installed and a coupon.... now turn that into a coupon for a ubuntu-migration :-)
[09:45] <lotusleaf> would the coupons be edible?
[09:45] <stefg> hehe
[09:45] <lotusleaf> sorry, it's that time of the year
[09:47] <lotusleaf> stefg: Xmas was just a way to Christianize a pagan holiday =)
[09:47] <stefg> c u in #ubuntu-offtopic, hehe
[09:47] <lotusleaf> stefg: :)
[09:48] <lotusleaf> stefg: you might want to try #ubuntuforums instead, religion is offtopic4offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[09:49] <stefg> i see... so /j #42
[09:54] <Burgundavia> stefg: most of the people who are receiving those coupons are end users, which are not Canonical's target market
[09:57] <stefg> Burgundavia: yeah, that's true, and from the business point of view that's plausible. But the idea had such a nice 'What would happen, if...' aspect on it that i couldn't resist to point itout :-)
[09:57] <Burgundavia> giving a free box set is a good idea, howevber
[10:00] <lotusleaf> limited edition Ubuntu devteam collector cards!
[10:01] <stefg> and as i said... the effect is not that there are millions of people migrating because of the offer. The effect lies in the announcement, that you can choose to have ubuntu, instead of Vista .... know what I mean ?
[10:02] <stefg> PR effect
[10:03] <stefg> guerilla marketing ... blah, blah ...
[10:03] <lotusleaf> *<:O)
[10:03] <lotusleaf> ^ clown ascii
[10:04] <stefg> Xmas smiley... how cute :-)
[10:04] <stefg> Santa-Smilie
[10:04] <lotusleaf> stefg: have you joined the mailing list? all the cool cats are doing it
[10:05] <stefg> lotusleaf: to be honest i read it for 2 months, last year... when i reinstalled, i decided to abandon the account... cough,cough
[10:05] <lotusleaf> stefg: got a cold?
[10:08] <tsmithe> obviously he has
[10:23] <lotusleaf> is UWN also available in pdf form?
[10:28] <tsmithe> nope
[10:28] <tsmithe> why?
[10:29] <tsmithe> could could always make one
[10:29] <lotusleaf> tsmithe: no? hm.. would be cool 'tis all
[10:30] <tsmithe> i guess
[10:30] <tsmithe> what's wrong with wiki?
[10:30] <lotusleaf> I never said there was anything wrong with anything =)
[10:30] <lotusleaf> I just asked if there was a pdf form available =)
