Burgworknixternal: !10:30
nixternalyo10:30
Burgworkwhen you write a release announcement, do one for all the flavours, dammit10:30
nixternalheh, I was given an order by the higher ups to do the one I did10:31
Burgworknixternal: can you write the other 4? Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Server?10:38
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-fridge
Burgworkrobitaille: can you save the fridge from only announcing kubuntu?11:08
nixternalBurgwork: what do you want done?11:11
Burgworknixternal: a similar release announcement for Eduubntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Server11:12
Burgworkwithout or without the graphic11:12
nixternalis there a write up for Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu that is classy? I don't follow their development so I don't know what's hot and what's not11:12
Burgworkeither you do it or I publicly shame you by doing it :)11:13
nixternalhahaha11:13
Burgworkand I mention that evil Kubuntu people prevented the other announcements11:13
nixternalyou know, I would feel honored to be publicly shamed by you :)11:13
Burgworkheh11:13
nixternalmuhahaha11:13
robitailleBurgwork:  I approve the article that I sent :)   It's not my fault the only one who wrote something did it for Kubuntu :)11:39
robitailles/I sent/I receive/11:40
robitailleI have to say the thought of having only a kubuntu article was bad...but the alternative was no article at all about the release on the Fridge which is worse11:40
robitailleOn some days I just feel like the Fridge is only a long painful and dying experiment that needs to come to an end with someone deciding to pull the plug...11:43
Burgworkwe just need more people11:45
robitailleWe have dozen of editors!  We need to pull the plug and do it differently....and with a new name and a different community around it.11:46
Burgworkhmm11:46
Burgworkthe "suggest a story" idea is a good one11:47
robitaillepersonally I always like the "slashdot" look...people submit stories and us editors approve the ones we like.  And the comments are right there under these approved stories.    But I don't think that was the "look" people wanted originally.  But it makes it easy to build a community around these stories11:53
nixternalI will agree there actually. the design/layout of /. is good, but /. sucks :)11:53
nixternalBurgwork: KUBUNTU FTW!11:54
Burgworknixternal: 2/3 of the downloads are ubuntu, 1/3 are kubuntu11:54
nixternalthat is about the same for the bug count as well11:55
nixternalprobably even more ;)11:55
nixternal1/3 kubuntu sounds a little much truthfully11:55
Burgworkalmost all the large deployments I have heard about are Ubuntu11:55
nixternalmost KDE people tend to use multiple distros at once anyways11:56
nixternalwhat about France?11:56
nixternalthey are all Kubuntu11:56
BurgworkKDE tends to be the older Linux crowd, from what I have seen11:56
Burgworkmandrake holdover11:56
robitailleInterestingly the usage stats for users  I have seen in the past for linux in general was the reverse 2/3 KDE, 1/3 Gnome....interesting mismatch11:56
nixternalthat is the largest Ubuntu/Kubuntu implementation yet in amount of hardware and money11:56
nixternalrobitaille: that is Linux in general though, Ubuntu has it for the GNOME crowd w/o a doubt11:57
Burgworkrobitaille: all those numbers are suspect, due to being biased11:57
Burgworknixternal: I seriously doubt if the french parliment is the largest U/Kubuntu deployment11:57
robitaillenixternal:  exactly.  But could Ubuntu popularity have a long-term effect on KDE usage?11:57
nixternalI am thinking that Ubuntu is probably pulling people away from Kubuntu11:58
nixternalor KDE in general11:58
nixternalGNOME is easier out of the box I think11:58
nixternalKDE has so many options that it loses people11:59
=== robitaille works in a KDE shop...25+ KDE computers.... 1 Gnome computer....mine :)
nixternalhehe11:59
nixternalthere are only a few KDE people I know in the Chicago land area11:59
Burgworkwhen I asked my company president why he choose GNOME, he said "All the large companies are putting their effort behind GNOME"11:59
nixternalactually in Chicago, Xubuntu is probably the #1 favorite Linux distro11:59
Burgworkand that was pre Ximian/Novell12:00
robitaillethe sysadmin here likes KDE.  Thus KDE by default and all users only use the default they are offered12:00
nixternalI only use my GNOME desktop for testing my packages12:01
Burgworkoffice here uses GNOME because I use Ubuntu12:01
nixternaland I just switched it back to Ubuntu. I was using Debian until I realized no matter how great and stable it is, it is old12:01
BurgworkI wish asterisk were in main12:02
nixternalthere are a couple of asterisk devs doing a talk on sunday at the lug12:02
nixternalasterisk and subversion weekend at the lug12:03
Burgworkcool12:03
Burgworktell them to merge the bloody ldap stuff into main12:03
nixternalheh12:03
nixternalactually mishehu is on IRC right now, he is one of the devs that is a member of the LGU12:03
nixternalLUG12:03
nixternalheh, I should do a Bazaar demo right after the SVN demo12:04
nixternalbut my problem is, I still prefer SVN over BZR12:04
Burgworkserver applications that don't support ldap in this day and age...12:04
nixternalhehe, right12:05
Burgworkwhat else did I run into that didn;t...12:06
nixternalsee, I started messing with GNOME during the Ximian days a little bit and actually realy liked it12:06
nixternalexcept for that stupid monkey and their "ubuntu-like" color scheme smashed with a banana12:07
