theCorethe marketing team seems to weaken... it's losing momentum04:40
beunoa bit, yeah04:43
beunothe most active members are a bit... well... inactive  :D04:43
beunoguess it's just a phase, they'll get back in, or new people will come along to help, I'm sure04:44
theCoreyeah, I hope :)04:44

beuno:D04:47
=== beuno jumps up and down
beunothat's certanly worth mentioning in the UWN...04:47
theCorenah, that isn't really scientific04:48
beunobut it's google search statistics, it isn't random babiling either...04:48
theCoreit is just some trends04:48
beuno:/  well, maybe not UWN, but it sure has to go somewhere...04:49
theCoreGoogle Trends is certainly a nice tool for finding news items for UWN 04:50
beunoI've always used google news04:51
theCoreyeah, that is better :)04:52

Admiral_Chicagoill do it09:07
theCoreoh, I could add a `end' token, and make Python ignore white spaces ... but that would be evil :) 09:08
beunoAdmiral_Chicago: I'm thinking no feisty changes on this one, maybe next one if I can get somerville32_ or Corey back on board09:08
Admiral_ChicagoMenZa: we do have 9 million people in chicago area...09:08
Admiral_Chicagobeuno: i have the script to grab them, if Cody isn't back by 32, we can run it09:09
beunoAdmiral_Chicago: great, altough I would like to have some sort of poll to see if Feisty changes actually is something people read09:09
beunoit takes up a lot of work, and I'm not sure it's very apreciated09:10
Admiral_Chicagoyep, we can do that in the long run.09:10
beunomaybe add one in this one, make one on launchpad and add it in #31, if there are enough votes, we'll put Feisty changes back in for #3209:11
Admiral_Chicagobeuno: i realized Xubuntu Testing is already on 3109:11
beunoAdmiral_Chicago: right, maybe we should move it to the "Community Spotlight" and rephrase it a bit, what do you think?09:11
