[03:49] <beuno> theCore: actually, much easier in here :D
[03:50] <theCore> ah, ok
[03:50] <beuno> it's about the UWN
[03:50] <theCore> yes?
[03:50] <beuno> I need to fill up the trivia section:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue31
[03:50] <theCore> oh, I can do it
[03:50] <beuno> ;)   thanks!
[03:52] <theCore> hmm... it seems already done...
[03:52] <beuno> half way
[03:52] <beuno> it's all the data I got
[03:52] <beuno> I need next weeks sponsor and prize
[03:52] <beuno> I also wanted you to verify it was correct
[03:54] <theCore> jenda: ping?
[03:57] <theCore> it been a while since I last saw jenda...
[03:58] <beuno> he's been gone for a few weeks
[03:58] <beuno> and seems a bit scarce these days
[03:58] <beuno> guess he's getting up to speed
[03:59] <theCore> sorry, beuno. I can't say if there will be a prize/sponsor for next week quiz 
[03:59] <beuno> who can?
[03:59] <theCore> jenda
[04:00] <beuno> aah, ok
[04:00] <beuno> I'll keep pinging him then
[04:00] <beuno> thanks!
[04:00] <theCore> np
[04:29] <beuno> elkbuntu: ping
[04:40] <theCore> the marketing team seems to weaken... it's losing momentum
[04:43] <beuno> a bit, yeah
[04:43] <beuno> the most active members are a bit... well... inactive  :D
[04:44] <beuno> guess it's just a phase, they'll get back in, or new people will come along to help, I'm sure
[04:44] <theCore> yeah, I hope :)
[04:45] <beuno> I'm sure, just needs a boost
[04:46] <theCore> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+windows+vista%2C+windows+xp%2C+os+x&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
[04:46] <theCore> Ubuntu is more popular than Vista :)
[04:47] <beuno> :D
[04:47] <beuno> that's certanly worth mentioning in the UWN...
[04:48] <theCore> nah, that isn't really scientific
[04:48] <beuno> but it's google search statistics, it isn't random babiling either...
[04:48] <theCore> it is just some trends
[04:49] <beuno> :/  well, maybe not UWN, but it sure has to go somewhere...
[04:50] <theCore> Google Trends is certainly a nice tool for finding news items for UWN 
[04:51] <beuno> I've always used google news
[04:52] <theCore> yeah, that is better :)
[04:54] <beuno> order by date, and voila!
[11:42] <mindspin> can anybody explain what companion postfix server is?
[11:43] <mindspin> I'm translating uwn
[11:55] <lionel> hi mindspin
[11:55] <mindspin> hi
[11:55] <lionel> It is a companion for postfix server :)
[11:55] <mindspin> hehe
[11:55] <lionel> I mean a software that works with postfix
[11:55] <mindspin>  like "mate"
[11:55] <lionel> yep
[11:56] <lionel> it works with postfix but does not come with postfix
[11:56] <mindspin> but its not a plug in
[11:56] <lionel> nope
[11:56] <lionel> (postfix have not realy a plugin architecture btw)
[11:57] <mindspin> I can not translate it as "Kumpel" what mate is in german ;-)
[11:58] <mindspin> copain
[11:58] <mindspin> would you translate it to copaine or copine or ami?
[11:58] <mindspin> in french?
[04:08] <juliux> meatballhat, did you get your shirt?
[04:10] <juliux> hi jenda 
[04:10] <jenda> heya jules :)
[04:12] <meatballhat> juliux: not yet  .... :)
[04:13] <juliux> meatballhat, ah dhl is very slow this time
[04:13] <meatballhat> got a Trackin' #?
[04:13] <juliux> no
[04:13] <meatballhat> I'm patient ... .mostly  ;-)
[04:13] <juliux> because i send it via deutschepost and it is only a normal package
[04:13] <meatballhat> gotcha
[04:13] <meatballhat> no worries
[04:13] <juliux> only a normal letter
[04:15] <meatballhat> ...although I *did* have an eerily lifelike dream in which I found a box buried in a snowdrift with a German postmark .... hmmmmm
[04:22] <jenda> Dan, did you drink lately? ;)
[04:37] <meatballhat> jenda: just some Peppermint Tea  ;-)  ... lungs == clogged
[04:47] <jenda> how fast do you think a tea addiction can be formed?
[04:47] <jenda> I believe I managed in 2 days.
[04:48] <jenda> beuno: stickers packed and ready
[04:48] <jenda> will be there soon.
[04:49] <beuno> jenda,  :D  thanks!
[04:49] <jenda> 
[04:57] <meatballhat> jenda: (boioioioing)  Tea addiction in progress  :P
[05:04] <beuno> heh, go, important stuff first
[08:35] <beuno> elkbuntu: ping
[08:35] <beuno> jenda: ping+1
[08:36] <MitchM> jenda, ping+2
[08:36] <MitchM> :P
[08:38] <beuno> get in line buddy!
[08:38] <beuno> :p
[08:38] <beuno> last he said was:  * jenda goes refill his internal beer supply, which has been utterly depleted.
[08:38] <beuno> so he might be passed out somewhere
[08:38] <theCore> while not jenda.answered:
[08:38] <theCore>     ping(jenda)
[08:39] <beuno> aaah, python
[08:39] <theCore> :)
[08:39] <beuno> goto love the mandatory tabs
[08:40] <theCore> the spacing isn't mandatory. This is valid, too:  while not jenda.answered: ping(jenda)
[08:41] <theCore> yeah, this style is strongly discouraged :)
[08:43] <MitchM> while($jenda eq 'away'){ print('Ping jenda');}
[08:43] <theCore> I am having fun crashing Python, right now
[08:43] <MitchM> I still like perl.
[08:43] <MitchM> but i've only written one python script
[08:43] <MitchM> and was angry and how much I liked it
[08:43] <MitchM> so I refused to use it.
[08:44] <theCore> coding in Perl is funny
[08:44] <MitchM> lol.
[08:44] <MitchM> sure is]

[08:47] <MitchM> :)

[08:51] <meatballhat> wait!  thot goofy JavaScript Pocket ref makes 12!
[08:51] <MitchM> doh!
[08:51] <MitchM> RegEx is fun :)

[08:53] <MitchM> likewise :)
[08:54] <meatballhat> MitchM:  you know Zope3 at all?
[08:54] <beuno> heheh
[08:54] <beuno> now I have to work out of guilt
[08:56] <MitchM> meatballhat, sure dont
[08:57] <meatballhat> MitchM: 'twas worth a shot ;-)
[08:57] <MitchM> :)
[09:02] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: super-ping
[09:03] <theCore> nice... I hacked Python syntax :)
[09:03] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: pong ^ n
[09:03] <theCore> so, def foo<n>:
[09:03] <theCore>          return n + 1 
[09:04] <theCore> works
[09:04] <beuno> heh
[09:04] <Admiral_Chicago> whats up?
[09:04] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: do you want to do the xubuntu team writeup then?
[09:04] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: sure, i can talk to Jim, he might be able to give me a good word
[09:05] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: great!  I believe that would go under "Team of the week"
[09:05] <Admiral_Chicago> he's on the Chicago LoCo so we I can give him a call
[09:05] <beuno> that's one of the trickiest sections, so it would really help
[09:06] <beuno> keep in mind the release date is sunday
[09:06] <beuno> *s
[09:06] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: yep, i know it
[09:06] <Admiral_Chicago> are we doing feisty changes?
[09:06] <MenZa> The /Chicago/ LoCo? Am I the only one who finds it odd to have a city have a localization team?
[09:06] <MenZa> :o
[09:07] <MitchM> they just really love their ubuntu,
[09:07] <MitchM> :)
[09:07] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: might want to add the Ubuntu Illinois team
[09:07] <Admiral_Chicago> ill do it
[09:08] <theCore> oh, I could add a `end' token, and make Python ignore white spaces ... but that would be evil :) 
[09:08] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: I'm thinking no feisty changes on this one, maybe next one if I can get somerville32_ or Corey back on board
[09:08] <Admiral_Chicago> MenZa: we do have 9 million people in chicago area...
[09:09] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: i have the script to grab them, if Cody isn't back by 32, we can run it
[09:09] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: great, altough I would like to have some sort of poll to see if Feisty changes actually is something people read
[09:10] <beuno> it takes up a lot of work, and I'm not sure it's very apreciated
[09:10] <Admiral_Chicago> yep, we can do that in the long run.
[09:11] <beuno> maybe 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 #32
[09:11] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: i realized Xubuntu Testing is already on 31
[09:11] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: right, maybe we should move it to the "Community Spotlight" and rephrase it a bit, what do you think?
[09:11] <MenZa> Admiral_Chicago: :P
[09:12] <Admiral_Chicago> we can do that.
[09:12] <Admiral_Chicago> I'll do it now
[09:12] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: great, thanks!
[09:12] <Admiral_Chicago> np
[09:15] <beuno> I'll probably take care of the "In the press" section
[09:22] <Admiral_Chicago> beuno: done.
[09:22] <Admiral_Chicago> bb/l
[09:23] <beuno> Admiral_Chicago: great, cya later!

[10:55] <lionel> yeah, how I can help ? :)
[10:55] <mindspin> yep me too
[10:56] <mindspin> bueno do you know what parts elkbuntu is editing in the "in the press section" I could summarize the links a bit
[10:57] <mindspin> (and add some fresh ones)
[10:57] <beuno> well, AFAIK, elkbuntu isn't doing any parts
[10:57] <beuno> there are some links in the "In the press" section
[10:58] <beuno> maybe you can review then and sum them up?
[10:58] <mindspin> didn#t you write on the list she#s ataking care for 2in the press"?
[10:58] <mindspin> That#s what I#m asking for
[10:58] <mindspin> bah
[10:58] <mindspin> '
[10:59] <beuno> mindspin: no, that she usually does the "LoCo News" part
[10:59] <beuno> at least that's what I meant
[10:59] <mindspin> ah missread it then
[10:59] <mindspin> ok , deal
[10:59] <mindspin> I'm gonna have a look at it
[11:00] <beuno> great, thanks, that will really make the sunday deadline look possible!
[11:02] <mindspin> bah what is this? http://linux.sys-con.com/read/326942.htm
[11:02] <mindspin> have a look, or better listen!
[11:03] <beuno> whaaaat?
[11:03] <beuno> why is he talking to me on a webpage?
[11:03] <mindspin> I'll delete that link
[11:03] <beuno> yes please  :D
[11:06] <mindspin> http://linux.sys-con.com/read/335927.htm beware of this it froze my firefox
[11:06] <mindspin> I'll delete it too
[11:08] <beuno> yeah, doesn't seem to user friendly
[11:56] <jenda> roflmao
[11:56] <jenda> I'm utterly pung now, for sure
[11:57] <jenda> and neither MitchM nor beuno are around.
[11:57] <jenda> oh well, tomorrow.
