| Burgwork | nixternal: ! | 10:30 |
| nixternal | yo | 10:30 |
| Burgwork | when you write a release announcement, do one for all the flavours, dammit | 10:30 |
| nixternal | heh, I was given an order by the higher ups to do the one I did | 10:31 |
| Burgwork | nixternal: can you write the other 4? Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Server? | 10:38 |
| === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-fridge | ||
| Burgwork | robitaille: can you save the fridge from only announcing kubuntu? | 11:08 |
| nixternal | Burgwork: what do you want done? | 11:11 |
| Burgwork | nixternal: a similar release announcement for Eduubntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Server | 11:12 |
| Burgwork | without or without the graphic | 11:12 |
| nixternal | is 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 not | 11:12 |
| Burgwork | either you do it or I publicly shame you by doing it :) | 11:13 |
| nixternal | hahaha | 11:13 |
| Burgwork | and I mention that evil Kubuntu people prevented the other announcements | 11:13 |
| nixternal | you know, I would feel honored to be publicly shamed by you :) | 11:13 |
| Burgwork | heh | 11:13 |
| nixternal | muhahaha | 11:13 |
| robitaille | Burgwork: I approve the article that I sent :) It's not my fault the only one who wrote something did it for Kubuntu :) | 11:39 |
| robitaille | s/I sent/I receive/ | 11:40 |
| robitaille | I 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 worse | 11:40 |
| robitaille | On 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 |
| Burgwork | we just need more people | 11:45 |
| robitaille | We 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 |
| Burgwork | hmm | 11:46 |
| Burgwork | the "suggest a story" idea is a good one | 11:47 |
| robitaille | personally 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 stories | 11:53 |
| nixternal | I will agree there actually. the design/layout of /. is good, but /. sucks :) | 11:53 |
| nixternal | Burgwork: KUBUNTU FTW! | 11:54 |
| Burgwork | nixternal: 2/3 of the downloads are ubuntu, 1/3 are kubuntu | 11:54 |
| nixternal | that is about the same for the bug count as well | 11:55 |
| nixternal | probably even more ;) | 11:55 |
| nixternal | 1/3 kubuntu sounds a little much truthfully | 11:55 |
| Burgwork | almost all the large deployments I have heard about are Ubuntu | 11:55 |
| nixternal | most KDE people tend to use multiple distros at once anyways | 11:56 |
| nixternal | what about France? | 11:56 |
| nixternal | they are all Kubuntu | 11:56 |
| Burgwork | KDE tends to be the older Linux crowd, from what I have seen | 11:56 |
| Burgwork | mandrake holdover | 11:56 |
| robitaille | Interestingly 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 mismatch | 11:56 |
| nixternal | that is the largest Ubuntu/Kubuntu implementation yet in amount of hardware and money | 11:56 |
| nixternal | robitaille: that is Linux in general though, Ubuntu has it for the GNOME crowd w/o a doubt | 11:57 |
| Burgwork | robitaille: all those numbers are suspect, due to being biased | 11:57 |
| Burgwork | nixternal: I seriously doubt if the french parliment is the largest U/Kubuntu deployment | 11:57 |
| robitaille | nixternal: exactly. But could Ubuntu popularity have a long-term effect on KDE usage? | 11:57 |
| nixternal | I am thinking that Ubuntu is probably pulling people away from Kubuntu | 11:58 |
| nixternal | or KDE in general | 11:58 |
| nixternal | GNOME is easier out of the box I think | 11:58 |
| nixternal | KDE has so many options that it loses people | 11:59 |
| === robitaille works in a KDE shop...25+ KDE computers.... 1 Gnome computer....mine :) | ||
| nixternal | hehe | 11:59 |
| nixternal | there are only a few KDE people I know in the Chicago land area | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | when I asked my company president why he choose GNOME, he said "All the large companies are putting their effort behind GNOME" | 11:59 |
| nixternal | actually in Chicago, Xubuntu is probably the #1 favorite Linux distro | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | and that was pre Ximian/Novell | 12:00 |
| robitaille | the sysadmin here likes KDE. Thus KDE by default and all users only use the default they are offered | 12:00 |
| nixternal | I only use my GNOME desktop for testing my packages | 12:01 |
| Burgwork | office here uses GNOME because I use Ubuntu | 12:01 |
| nixternal | and I just switched it back to Ubuntu. I was using Debian until I realized no matter how great and stable it is, it is old | 12:01 |
| Burgwork | I wish asterisk were in main | 12:02 |
| nixternal | there are a couple of asterisk devs doing a talk on sunday at the lug | 12:02 |
| nixternal | asterisk and subversion weekend at the lug | 12:03 |
| Burgwork | cool | 12:03 |
| Burgwork | tell them to merge the bloody ldap stuff into main | 12:03 |
| nixternal | heh | 12:03 |
| nixternal | actually mishehu is on IRC right now, he is one of the devs that is a member of the LGU | 12:03 |
| nixternal | LUG | 12:03 |
| nixternal | heh, I should do a Bazaar demo right after the SVN demo | 12:04 |
| nixternal | but my problem is, I still prefer SVN over BZR | 12:04 |
| Burgwork | server applications that don't support ldap in this day and age... | 12:04 |
| nixternal | hehe, right | 12:05 |
| Burgwork | what else did I run into that didn;t... | 12:06 |
| nixternal | see, I started messing with GNOME during the Ximian days a little bit and actually realy liked it | 12:06 |
| nixternal | except for that stupid monkey and their "ubuntu-like" color scheme smashed with a banana | 12:07 |
