chaddyhttp://www.ubuntu.com/news/spotlight link here to sign up with Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter redirects to an O'Reilly registration page02:19
chaddywhich wasn't really what I was after02:19
chaddys/weekly news/newsletter02:20
chaddy*sigh*, /me is overtired02:20
ajehukno that doesnt look right...02:20
ajehukgive me a moment...02:21
chaddyit's not really a problem, just added an RSS feed to the fridge02:22
chaddythat'll get me all the info I need, I'm sure02:22
ajehuknah it is right, once you sign up you get to choose what you would like in the way of news letters, the ubuntu live one is listed there...02:22
chaddyahh, ok, just looked wrong02:23
chaddythanks a lot, ajehuk 02:23
ajehukchaddy - its not that obvious - I ended up searching for ubunut...02:23
ajehukchaddy - way down at the bottom.. :)02:23
ajehukright Im out of here for a while - g'night all02:25
chaddyahh, I see what the problem is, the link doesn't specify that it's the "Live" newsletter for the conference02:27
chaddypebcak at this end, mainly, though02:28

Burgundavianixternal: http://blog.lobby4linux.com/archives/145-Tux500-Where-are-we-now.html06:10
nixternalI can only imagine06:11
nixternaldid he sell me out?06:11
Burgundavianah, just more blather06:11
nixternalya, I have been in communication with the REAL people behind the Tux500 campaign about that guy and the threats he sent me06:12
Burgundaviaoh?06:12
nixternalI provided them the entire conversation and told them he is the reason I will not support the project was well as thousands of others06:13
nixternalI told them people know him as the "idiot on digg" and the "moron on slashdot"06:13
nixternalya, I was on the phone with them this week, they are cool people and are dead serious about the project06:13
Burgundaviaah, interesting06:13
nixternalI wish them luck, but as long as that idiot is apart of their team, they get no monetary support from me06:13
Burgundaviawell, they are not communicating very well06:14
Burgundavianor did they get anybody to sign on06:14
Burgundaviathey also have a history of announcing their projects as if they are the only ones that will ever market Linux well06:14
nixternalI told them they need to do something, as I have spoken to a few people who are aggregated on a few planets, and all it takes is one of us to blog about this guy and you are through06:14
nixternalbut I told them that they are safe as long as they control this guy, otherwise they are a sinking ship with him06:14
nixternalwell, they couldn't market linux if their lives depended on it06:15
nixternalyou don't market Linux to a bunch of toothless drunks at "Americas" race06:15
nixternalpeople go to Indy for 1 or 3 or 4 things06:15
nixternal1) get drunk06:15
nixternal2) watch girls get naked06:15
nixternal3) listen to the loudest crap ever for 3 hours and see these little blurs fly by you06:16
nixternal4) get drunk06:16
boredandbloggingi see nothing wrong with 1, 2, and 406:16
Madpilotnixternal, 5) hope for large messy high-speed car crashes06:16
boredandblogging;-)06:16
nixternalI have only missed 2 races in the past 25 years06:16
nixternalMadpilot: yes, forgot about that one06:16
nixternaloh, and the driver they got, he will be in a messy car crash06:16
johnlittleJust think of the "Linux crashed" jokes06:19
Burgundaviajohnlittle: long time, no see06:22
johnlittleI only come out of my basement for releases..canonical orders06:22
johnlittlehow you doing?06:22
Burgundavianot bad06:23
Burgundaviagoing to be on the road for tomorrows release06:23
johnlittleAny marketing team activity going down?06:23
nixternaljohnny!!06:24
johnlittleare we putting nixternal in a tux suit or something?06:25
nixternaljohnlittle: I already told that joke, and pissed that Helio idiot off06:25
johnlittle:p06:25
nixternalI am wearing a Tux suit on Sunday thank you very much06:25
johnlittleawesome06:25
johnlittleget me some video06:25

nixternaleveryone in my lug is to broke to own a camera06:25
nixternaland I am not about to let them use mine06:26
johnlittleI hope release party footage shows up - i cant bear to watch another beryl demo06:26
nixternallol06:27
nixternalYa, Ubuntu chicago is doing their thing on Saturday, but I won't be there06:27
nixternalI have a LUG event to get setup, and for some reason they don't want to listen06:27
nixternalI have space to hold 250+ people, projectors, computers, podiums, workstations, you name it06:28
nixternalall free06:28
johnlittlenice06:28
nixternalno, they would rather go and sit in a church basement06:28
Burgundaviawierd06:28
Burgundaviapeople are very wierd06:28
johnlittlenow just get someone to shoot me some video :)06:28
nixternalya, we need to do that06:28
johnlittleoh that is weird06:28
johnlittleare ya'll gonna handle snakes or something? :p06:29
nixternalwell, the video for this weekend will be LUGish and not Ubuntu'ish06:29
nixternalalthough 90% of the LUG is Ubuntu/Kubuntu06:29
johnlittleI do LUG videos...whatever06:29
nixternalone of the guys is a church leader, so he has the space to hold a few people06:29
nixternalOK, I will have some flourish video of me spaning the Red Hat teams ass in a battle of the distros06:29
nixternals/spaning/spanking06:29
johnlittleTell him you can't go...Ubuntu is a cult and it just isn't right06:30
nixternaloh, and I hugged Tom "Spot" Callaway too, so that might be on video as well06:30
nixternalhaha06:30
johnlittlehey I put up video of jono dancing...I will run anything06:31
nixternalI have the Subversion developers giving a talk this weekend at my LUG, and then we have a couple of the original apache devs from back in the day coming out to talk06:31
johnlittlecool06:31
nixternaland then it is hackathon 200706:31
johnlittleyou see the michael dell story making the rounds today?06:33
nixternalya, whoopy06:33
nixternalJesus uses Ubuntu as well, and he is a hell of a lot more powerful06:33
nixternalnow if we could get Gates or Ballmer to say they use Ubuntu06:34
nixternalthen we are talking06:34
johnlittlegood luck with that06:34
Madpilotwhat I found more interesting that "Mr. Dell has one Ubuntu machine" is "Mr. Dell has *no* Vista machines"...06:34
johnlittleGates will roll out a blu themed Warty and call it innovation06:34
nixternalDell used to be a big Linux and Oracle guy back in the day, it does surprise me to see him only running one machine with it06:34
johnlittleblue06:34
nixternalit being Linux06:34
nixternalMadpilot: which I find funny because on CNBC, they interviewed him in his office and he had a Vista machine on his desk06:35
nixternalhe was showing it off and the dell xps stuff06:35
nixternalcould have just been for promotional use only though06:35
Madpilotevidently it was only there for the interview ;)06:35
johnlittleI don't think for a minute that it's his primary machine...but it is interesting that they chose to mention it like that.06:35
nixternalya exactly06:35
nixternalwell he used to talk highly of Debian back in the 90's and early 2000s06:36
johnlittleIt's going to be an interesting year. Lots of the old school types will probably end up jumping out of windows06:37
Burgundaviawell, there was much made of Mark using Kubuntu on his desktop06:38
johnlittleYeah I remember that06:38
Burgundaviawhat most people didn't realize is that Mark uses his Laptop as his primary machine06:38
Burgundaviahis desktop is rarely used06:38
Burgundaviaso he had a Kubuntu machine, he just uses Ubuntu primarily06:39
nixternalIt would be fun though...but it wouldn't be fair. Windows gets to restart after a crash.06:39
nixternalgahahahahahahahahahaha06:39
johnlittleWe all dabble here and there06:39
nixternalthat is talking about Linux vs. MS at the Indy 50006:39
nixternalthat is one of the comments from that lame dudes blog06:40
johnlittlehow about "at least when windows crashes the driver doesn't die a fiery death"06:40
nixternalermm, did you mean Linux06:41
nixternalbecause when Windows crashes the only answer you get from Microsoft is reinstall06:41
johnlittleno..talking about that silly linux car blasting into a wall at 200mph and becoming the laughing stock of the tech world06:42

johnlittleI worked for NASA..trust me people only remember things that crash. It's wasted money.06:44
Burgundaviagiven the insane cost too06:44
johnlittle350k?06:44
nixternaljohnlittle: that is because they bought the worst driver money could buy06:51
nixternaldude finished 8th by a stroke of luck years ago06:51
nixternalother than that, he started 33rd and finished either 28th or 33rd, or hell he didn't even qualify06:51
nixternalI will pee myself if he doesn't even qualify06:51
johnlittleI haven't followed it - seemed doomed from the start06:51
nixternalya, they won't make the money because they have pissed off the leaders of every Linux community06:51
nixternalCEOs of Red Hat, Novell, Canonical, and more06:51
johnlittleIf you're going to spend a ton of money to sponsor something stick a logo on of of branson's space rockets or something06:51
johnlittleEven that would be a waste really06:51
johnlittlethose deals are for megacorps with money to burn06:51
johnlittlewe could go the goldenpalace route and fund streakers ;)06:51
johnlittleIt only costs 10,000 to get someone to paint an Ubuntu logo on their back and run through the superbowls 50 yard line06:51
johnlittlenaked06:51
Burgundaviahmm06:51
Burgundavianot certain we really want to be associated with such things :)06:51
johnlittleNo it wasn't a proposal..I'm just saying06:52
Burgundaviathen again, Linux for (Naked) Human Beings06:52
johnlittleWell..that's how we started06:53
johnlittleRemember the porn distro comments?06:53
Burgundaviaindeed06:53
johnlittleI thought those wallpapers were a cool idea. No chance of those coming back06:54
Madpilotpity, that06:55
johnlittlethey didn't exactly scream "enterprise distribution"06:55
nixternalBurgundavia: why not associate with nakedness, I seem to remember a wallpaper that showed a nipple. what's so bad about some super fat drunk dudes ass running across the field?06:58
Burgundaviayep06:58
johnlittleubuntuvideo.com just passed the 600,000 page view mark (98% of those views being videos)06:59
nixternalya, I keep putting on the walls of bathroom stalls at truck stops "FREE PORN AT UBUNTUVIDEO.COM"07:00
nixternalguess it is working out07:00
johnlittlejust over 100,000 unique IPs - 53% windows07:00
johnlittlewhatever works ;)07:00
nixternalhehe07:00
johnlittlethe geekier you are the truer that is07:01
nixternalhaha07:01
johnlittleso what time does 7.04 official go live?07:01
Madpilotwhen it's ready07:02
johnlittlewhy did I know someone was going to say that07:02
Mithrandirjohnlittle: before I go to bed. :-P07:02
Madpilotor sometime after the ops in #ubuntu completely loose it and kickban everyone there07:02
johnlittlewelcome to the jungle07:02
johnlittleI hope ubuntu ops have a jar of happy pills..it's going to be a fun week or so07:04
johnlittleBurgundavia are you working on any more books?07:08
Burgundaviacurrently working on the revision to the official book07:09
Burgundaviain fact, as we speak I am reviewing a cpater07:09
johnlittlebad omen...hope you aren't looking for typos07:10
johnlittle"cpater"07:10
Burgundaviafor edgy they had to quiet the whole channel07:10
Burgundaviawhatever07:10
johnlittleI imagine it will only get worse with each release07:10
boredandbloggingisn't it a nice problem to have?07:11
johnlittleThere are worse problems to be sure.07:12
Burgundaviachannel is jsuta bout as busy and NA has not yet hit the 19th07:13
johnlittle19th +14 minutes here07:14
johnlittleyou are on the east coast right?07:14
Mithrandir#ubuntu or some other channel?07:15
Burgundaviathe former07:16
johnlittleI've been watching it for a while. It's like watching one of those video compilation shows full of explosions and car wrecks.07:17
johnlittleI think Madpilot just booted a troll07:23
Madpilota very minor troll.07:23
johnlittlestop them before they get started07:23
Madpilotsomething like that07:23
Madpilotwe haven't even broken 1200 yet on #ubuntu - I was excpecting that a while ago07:23
johnlittleIs there a known record?07:24
MadpilotI suspect we might be at a record right now - 117507:25
johnlittleI bet the www stats are interesting07:28
tonyyarussoMadpilot: I believe we hit 1200 last time07:29
Madpilotfor Edgy? can't recall07:29
Burgundaviahmm, the website seems to be doing better07:29
johnlittlenixternal did you do the template change for chi?07:30
nixternalyup07:30
johnlittleHow difficult was it?07:30
BurgundaviaMithrandir: did the tour end up on the website?07:30
MithrandirBurgundavia: not yet, but it will.07:31
Burgundaviaok, no worries07:31
MithrandirI'll wait for newz2k to wake up and get him to move it.07:31
BurgundaviaI will bug newz2k post-release to get the communtiy access back up and running07:32
Mithrandiryeah, it's easier if you work directly with him about how to do that.07:37
Burgundaviagiven the timeframe between the new website and the release, it is understandable access for the communtiy fell to the side07:38
Mithrandiryeah; I doubt it's intentional.  Just so much to do, so little time.07:39
johnlittlei still need to wrap that new template around ubuntuvideo ..it isn't going to be trivial07:41
