[08:31] <Burgundavia> fear not
[08:31] <Burgundavia> all will be right
[08:33] <somerville32> It doesn't matter now. I've been publicly humiliated and demoralized :(
[08:33] <Burgundavia> can I tell you I love you for picking up the UWN and running with it
[08:33] <Burgundavia> ?
[08:33] <somerville32> lol
[08:34] <somerville32> Sure
[08:34] <Burgundavia> it has been absolutely fabulous I could just give it to you and you ran with it
[08:34] <jenda> somerville32: you're still our UWN co-editor, and we aren't letting you go - forcefully, if need be.
[08:34] <somerville32> lol
[08:34] <Burgundavia> given I am currently AWOL
[08:34] <Burgundavia> need gf, sorry guys
[08:34] <Burgundavia> s/need/new/
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> I'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] <jenda> hehe :)
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> I was gonna say Burgundavia .... need?
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> hehe
[08:35] <somerville32> I just don't see how Xubuntu has anything to do with this mess.
[08:36] <somerville32> :(
[08:37] <tonyyarusso> Nor do I - where's that coming from?
[08:39] <elkbuntu> somerville32, meet my friend. His name is Trust
[08:44] <jenda> elkbuntu: cody has been very responsible regarding the UWN, you know that. I have reason to trust him.
[08:44] <jenda> Although I can't say I'm opposed to the decision.
[08:44] <elkbuntu> jenda, but in terms of ophood, he voided that trust, hence how xubuntu got involved
[08:45] <jenda> Yes, I can see that.
[08:47] <tonyyarusso> btw, do we have a target release for the next UWN?
[08:47] <somerville32> It was tonight
[08:47] <tonyyarusso> oh
[08:49] <somerville32> I can paste the Feisty Changes now and we can all work through them ;] 
[08:51] <tonyyarusso> Go 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] <somerville32> elkbuntu, If you could conjure up some loco-team news, that would be awesome.
[08:51] <elkbuntu> cant right now
[08:51] <elkbuntu> maybe later this evening
[08:53] <juliux> morning
[08:53] <jenda> juliux: moin
[08:53] <jenda> juliux: do you know anytihng abotu #chaostreffpunkt ?
[08:54] <juliux> jenda, oh yes
[08:54] <jenda> Please do tell
[08:54] <jenda> although, perhaps, not here...
[08:54] <juliux> here or query?
[08:54] <jenda> juliux: #ubuntu-ops
[12:59] <tonyyarusso> You all will like this too - Ubuntu is gaining quite the mindshare opportunity on http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6288119.stm
[12:59] <tonyyarusso> (I'm one of them)
[12:59] <tonyyarusso> :)
[01:01] <tonyyarusso> They've closed the submissions now, and mine looks like a pretty good post.  Now I'm a little bit nervous!
[01:29] <tonyyarusso> Of the posts so far I'm one of 17 that mention Linux...
[01:35] <elkbuntu> out of how many total?
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> elkbuntu: I count 55 so far.
[01:37] <elkbuntu> that's a pretty good chunk
[01:37] <tonyyarusso> Some of the Linux ones are multi-OS users (work/home, testing, etc.)
[01:37] <tonyyarusso> It's a great chunk.
[01:38] <tonyyarusso> They're going to choose one person for each of Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
[01:39] <elkbuntu> what will you win? /me hasnt even looked at the thing yet
[01:40] <tonyyarusso> A chance to represent Linux in a three-way debate as part of their Vista launch coverage.
[01:42] <elkbuntu> wow
[01:42] <tonyyarusso> There's a one-in-seventeen chance I could be on BBC television and netcast...omg
[01:43] <elkbuntu> lol
[01:45] <elkbuntu> quite a few of those are going to be eliminated due to being over 100 words anyway
[01:46] <tonyyarusso> Also true.
[01:47] <tonyyarusso> Mine is *exactly* 100 words :P
[01:48] <tonyyarusso> Or maybe it's 99 now.  /me double-checks
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> Depends on whether you count lock-in as one word or two.
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> If two, exactly 100 :)
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> I wonder if this is a participate online sort of thing or a we fly people to England sort of thing....
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> I probably should have thought this out more before submitting!
[01:55] <elkbuntu> lol, does it matter either way, you'll still be representing linux under the ubuntu flag!
[01:57] <tonyyarusso> Well, 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] <tonyyarusso> That could be a fun convo with the 'rents.
[01:58] <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> :)
[02:06] <elkbuntu> well yeah. world travel is something most parents would be willing to sacrifice limbs to let their kids embark on
[02:06] <elkbuntu> especially if free
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> Pretty much
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> Well, 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.
[02:09] <tonyyarusso> An 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.)
[02:12] <tonyyarusso> elkbuntu: Could you send me a copy of the "What is Ubuntu" handout pictured on your blog?
[02:16] <elkbuntu> min
[02:19] <elkbuntu> it 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.svg
[02:20] <elkbuntu> thats the version i found on my hdd
[02:20] <elkbuntu> take off the v2 and it's a slightly different version
[02:20] <tonyyarusso> okay
[02:21] <elkbuntu> http://meldra.no-ip.info/ubuntu_contactcard.svg (editted for your locale) is also a useful thing to do up ;)
[02:22] <tonyyarusso> cool
[02:23] <elkbuntu> puts alot of contact info in a handy sized space
[02:24] <elkbuntu> you can fiddle 4 of them onto an A4 sheet for good size
[02:24] <tonyyarusso> looks nice
[02:25] <elkbuntu> you'll need thunderbird, firefox and gnome installed for proper icons to show
[02:25] <elkbuntu> (along the side)
[02:26] <tonyyarusso> I have all.
[02:28] <tonyyarusso> Eeep, I need to get to bed.  I'm supposed to be conscious enough to understand quantum physics in 3 1/2 hours
[02:29] <elkbuntu> lol. good luck with that
[02:30] <elkbuntu> see nalioth's crazy channel
[02:36] <tonyyarusso> Mention on NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/25/technology/25askk.html?em&ex=1169874000&en=e6686d98c521c17d&ei=5087%0A
[02:42] <elkbuntu> go to bed already
[02:44] <tonyyarusso> right, right
[06:17] <licio> hi folks
[06:17] <licio> look at this http://linux.dell.com/distributions.shtml
[06:25] <tsmithe> no ubuntu???
[06:27] <licio> yes, just had debian.
[06:27] <licio> ops
[06:27] <licio> yes, just has debian.
[08:42] <somerville32> Infact, I need severael
[08:42] <somerville32> *several
[08:43] <Admiral_Chicago> somerville32: for what do you need help?
[08:43] <somerville32> UWN 29
[08:44] <Admiral_Chicago> i can help in a few hours, I have class then meetings
[08:48] <Admiral_Chicago> somerville32: i'll be back around 13 UTC if you need me
[11:05] <somerville32> tonyyarusso, However, want to do me a favour? ;] 
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> Perhaps.
[11:05] <somerville32> Want to do another Community spotlight for tonight?
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> On?
[11:06] <somerville32> say You can pick :)
[11:06] <somerville32> gah
[11:06] <tonyyarusso> heh
[11:06] <tonyyarusso> Hmm, okay
[11:06] <somerville32> Awesome
[11:06] <somerville32> Maybe... the Ubuntu IRC Team?
[11:06] <somerville32> No? How about... another process?
[11:06] <somerville32> Or maybe some specifications?
[11:07] <somerville32> Or maybe even the ubuntu-dev tema?
[11:07] <somerville32> *team
[11:08] <tonyyarusso> Two processes in a row would be weird.  A team or spec would be better.
[11:09] <somerville32> Fair enough
