Burgundaviafear not08:31
Burgundaviaall will be right08:31
somerville32It doesn't matter now. I've been publicly humiliated and demoralized :(08:33
Burgundaviacan I tell you I love you for picking up the UWN and running with it08:33
Burgundavia?08:33
somerville32lol08:33
somerville32Sure08:34
Burgundaviait has been absolutely fabulous I could just give it to you and you ran with it08:34
jendasomerville32: you're still our UWN co-editor, and we aren't letting you go - forcefully, if need be.08:34
somerville32lol08:34
Burgundaviagiven I am currently AWOL08:34
Burgundavianeed gf, sorry guys08:34
Burgundavias/need/new/08:34
tonyyarussoI'll second that.  I haven't always agreed with actions in the op-hat, but your UWN-hat has been great.  You know, it may just be a matter of finding which things fit for you best perhaps.08:34
jendahehe :)08:34
tonyyarussoI was gonna say Burgundavia .... need?08:35
tonyyarussohehe08:35
somerville32I just don't see how Xubuntu has anything to do with this mess.08:35
somerville32:(08:36
tonyyarussoNor do I - where's that coming from?08:37
elkbuntusomerville32, meet my friend. His name is Trust08:39
jendaelkbuntu: cody has been very responsible regarding the UWN, you know that. I have reason to trust him.08:44
jendaAlthough I can't say I'm opposed to the decision.08:44
elkbuntujenda, but in terms of ophood, he voided that trust, hence how xubuntu got involved08:44
jendaYes, I can see that.08:45
=== n2diy_ [n=darryl@ppp-42d429a3.wlks.losch.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
tonyyarussobtw, do we have a target release for the next UWN?08:47
somerville32It was tonight08:47
tonyyarussooh08:47
somerville32I can paste the Feisty Changes now and we can all work through them ;] 08:49
tonyyarussoGo ahead and paste, but I don't think I can help much.  I'll try to get my beat done, but won't be able to go beyond that.  I'm overdue for an article elsewhere as well, and it's 3am so I'm going to bed for the night.  Tomorrow.08:51

tonyyarussoOf the posts so far I'm one of 17 that mention Linux...01:29
elkbuntuout of how many total?01:35
tonyyarussoelkbuntu: I count 55 so far.01:36
elkbuntuthat's a pretty good chunk01:37
tonyyarussoSome of the Linux ones are multi-OS users (work/home, testing, etc.)01:37
tonyyarussoIt's a great chunk.01:37
tonyyarussoThey're going to choose one person for each of Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.01:38
elkbuntuwhat will you win? /me hasnt even looked at the thing yet01:39
tonyyarussoA chance to represent Linux in a three-way debate as part of their Vista launch coverage.01:40
elkbuntuwow01:42
tonyyarussoThere's a one-in-seventeen chance I could be on BBC television and netcast...omg01:42
elkbuntulol01:43
elkbuntuquite a few of those are going to be eliminated due to being over 100 words anyway01:45
tonyyarussoAlso true.01:46
tonyyarussoMine is *exactly* 100 words :P01:47
tonyyarussoOr maybe it's 99 now.  /me double-checks01:48
tonyyarussoDepends on whether you count lock-in as one word or two.01:50
tonyyarussoIf two, exactly 100 :)01:50
tonyyarussoI wonder if this is a participate online sort of thing or a we fly people to England sort of thing....01:52
tonyyarussoI probably should have thought this out more before submitting!01:53
elkbuntulol, does it matter either way, you'll still be representing linux under the ubuntu flag!01:55
tonyyarussoWell, it matters in that if this is a big production I'd be missing school.  So, inconvenient in that regard, but it would be way too friggin' amazing to turn down.01:57
tonyyarussoThat could be a fun convo with the 'rents.01:57
tonyyarusso"I have good news and bad news.  The bad news is I have to miss three days of class.  The good news is your son is going to be on the most widespread and respected news network in the world.  Thoughts?"01:58
tonyyarusso:)01:58
elkbuntuwell yeah. world travel is something most parents would be willing to sacrifice limbs to let their kids embark on02:06
elkbuntuespecially if free02:06
tonyyarussoPretty much02:08
tonyyarussoWell, provided it's for an intelligent cause.  Random trips for fun vacations are not supported, unless I want to pay my own way through school.02:08
tonyyarussoAn invite to participate in something though would probably fly just fine.  I hope.02:09
tonyyarusso(Didn't do well academically last semester, so trying to minimize distractions and such, but still.)02:09
tonyyarussoelkbuntu: Could you send me a copy of the "What is Ubuntu" handout pictured on your blog?02:12
elkbuntumin02:16
elkbuntuit was something madpilot did ages ago, that i found on my HDD... i seem to have lost the svg of the version i did (removed bg for b&w quality, and added the two lines of contact info at the bottom), but http://meldra.no-ip.info/Ubuntu_Pamphletv2.svg02:19
elkbuntuthats the version i found on my hdd02:20
elkbuntutake off the v2 and it's a slightly different version02:20
tonyyarussookay02:20
=== tonyyarusso will compare that to his document
elkbuntuhttp://meldra.no-ip.info/ubuntu_contactcard.svg (editted for your locale) is also a useful thing to do up ;)02:21
tonyyarussocool02:22
elkbuntuputs alot of contact info in a handy sized space02:23
elkbuntuyou can fiddle 4 of them onto an A4 sheet for good size02:24
tonyyarussolooks nice02:24
elkbuntuyou'll need thunderbird, firefox and gnome installed for proper icons to show02:25
elkbuntu(along the side)02:25
tonyyarussoI have all.02:26
tonyyarussoEeep, I need to get to bed.  I'm supposed to be conscious enough to understand quantum physics in 3 1/2 hours02:28
elkbuntulol. good luck with that02:29
elkbuntusee nalioth's crazy channel02:30
tonyyarussoMention on NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/25/technology/25askk.html?em&ex=1169874000&en=e6686d98c521c17d&ei=5087%0A02:36

tonyyarussoHmm, okay11:06
somerville32Awesome11:06
somerville32Maybe... the Ubuntu IRC Team?11:06
somerville32No? How about... another process?11:06
somerville32Or maybe some specifications?11:06
somerville32Or maybe even the ubuntu-dev tema?11:07
somerville32*team11:07
tonyyarussoTwo processes in a row would be weird.  A team or spec would be better.11:08
