| beuno | Burgwork: take a peek at it, I think I added most of what was in my head on there | 12:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Burgwork | ok, cool | 12:19 |
| beuno | Burgwork: I was thinking of having a quick interview with you for this issue of UWN related to your nomination (and approval) for CC, quick one, 4 or 5 questions, I'm going to do that with all of the new ones, but I thought since your the one I have the closest... | 12:24 |
| Burgwork | right | 12:24 |
| Burgwork | funny, given I am being interviewed at this very moment for our internal newsletter | 12:24 |
| beuno | I'll email the questions to you today or tomorrow, sound good? | 12:25 |
| beuno | Burgwork: "internal newsletter"? | 12:25 |

| Burgwork | the one Userful sends to our customers | 12:42 |
| beuno | well you seem to be popular these days then :p | 12:43 |
| Burgwork | indeed | 12:45 |
| === zerbero_ [n=jga@pD9E62AC8.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgwork | hmm, google just pinged me asking if I wanted to interview with them | 01:16 |
| beuno | Burgwork: "the big one" | 01:16 |
| boredandblogging | wow | 01:17 |
| Burgwork | apparently they are looking for coders, of which I am not one | 01:17 |
| jenda | Burgwork: that sentence seems quite coded to me ;) | 01:18 |
| beuno | Burgwork: I think some recruiters are taking information about people from Ubuntu, since I got membership, I've been aproached several times with job offers | 01:18 |
| boredandblogging | should that be advertised as a perk of membership? | 01:18 |
| Burgwork | possibly | 01:19 |
| Burgwork | and I do highly suspect they look through such lists | 01:19 |
| boredandblogging | that would motivate some people | 01:19 |
| Burgwork | possibly | 01:19 |
| beuno | Burgwork: I would say almost 100% they do, I got them in my @ubuntu address | 01:19 |
| Burgwork | "become and Ubuntu member and be scouted by Google!" | 01:19 |
| Burgwork | however, they emailed my @gmail.com addy, not the ubuntu.com one | 01:20 |
| beuno | Burgwork: maybe you have that one as a "preferred" one in launchpad? | 01:20 |
| Burgwork | I wonder if they screenscrape sf.net, LP, etc, looking for top contributors | 01:20 |
| Burgwork | anyway, Google is the black abyss | 01:20 |
| Burgwork | go there and you are never heard from again | 01:21 |
| beuno | ha, yes, I've heard that many times | 01:21 |
| Burgwork | only a relatively few end up working on open source projects | 01:21 |
| beuno | the only example I can think of is Mozilla, most of the top dogs are paid by Google | 01:22 |
| boredandblogging | think they have started releasing some of their mysql hacks recently | 01:22 |
| beuno | boredandblogging: yeap, and made they fed a LOT of wine patches when they released Picasa under Linux | 01:23 |
| beuno | but in comparison to the amount of open source people they hire, they do give very little back I think | 01:23 |
| boredandblogging | true, but the PR of them using Ubuntu and OSS to run all their stuff is nice | 01:24 |
| Burgwork | again, only a select few | 01:25 |
| boredandblogging | yeah | 01:25 |
| Burgwork | those they hire for specific open source projects, like the mozilla people, or the samba or the linux kernel people | 01:25 |
| Burgwork | everybody else disappears into the maw | 01:25 |
| beuno | yeap yeap, that's very true | 01:26 |
| Burgwork | beuno: interview answers sent | 01:35 |
| Burgwork | now I am off home | 01:36 |
| beuno | Burgwork: thank you very much | 01:36 |
| beuno | I'll be doing the same in a bit | 01:36 |

| jenda | juliux: they just wrote up an exam I have to attend on 26/6 | 09:04 |
| juliux | oh no | 09:04 |
| jenda | juliux: would 27 work for you? | 09:04 |
| juliux | sure | 09:05 |
| jenda | Great, I'll ask pitti. | 09:05 |
| jenda | juliux: pitti has taekwondo on wednesday - he'd prefer friday the 29th. | 09:08 |
| jenda | juliux: how's that day with you? | 09:09 |
| juliux | fine | 09:09 |
| beuno | jenda: where are we going on a trip to? :p | 09:09 |
| jenda | beuno: come to think of it... you could just as well drop by in Dresden, too :) | 09:10 |
| juliux | beuno, we have a small airport here;) | 09:10 |
| jenda | beuno: although, i'll be arriving there at 3AM and leaving at 2AM, so... | 09:10 |
| beuno | yay! Dresden! | 09:10 |
| beuno | jenda: how are you going? plane? | 09:10 |
| jenda | beuno: Student Agency bus :) | 09:10 |
| beuno | I might be able to go to prague, then to dresden, then go back to Madrid | 09:11 |
| jenda | beuno: I don't suppose you have an ISIC card? Dresden and back on the same bus as me would then cost you $35 USD | 09:11 |
| jenda | juliux: what do you think about that? | 09:12 |
| beuno | jenda: I don't think I do, no, what would the regular fee be? what would be do in dresden besides meet cool people? (I assume there's a purpose for the trip?) | 09:12 |
| beuno | not that Im picky, just curious :p | 09:12 |
| jenda | beuno: I'm picking up about 12 gigantic organic chemistry books for my friends. | 09:13 |
| jenda | beuno: also taking some stickers there and some shirts back. | 09:13 |
| jenda | regular fee... lemme see... | 09:13 |
| juliux | jenda, about what? | 09:13 |
| jenda | juliux: about beuno coming along :) We would have a truly international meeting, then :) | 09:14 |
| juliux | why not | 09:14 |
| beuno | well, I've got about 6 or 7 days to wonder around, so everything sounds pretty good to me :D | 09:14 |
| beuno | I'll be all hyped afeter debconf, might be good to get back into the Ubuntu spirit :D | 09:15 |
| jenda | beuno: I'll ask them today about the price of an on-the-spot-bought-full-price-ticket | 09:15 |
| jenda | hehe | 09:15 |
| jenda | ok | 09:15 |
| jenda | now... off to latin exam. | 09:15 |
| jenda | This sounds like great fun :-D | 09:15 |
| beuno | jenda: good luck | 09:15 |
| jenda | thanks | 09:15 |
| === beuno waits patiently for his pbuilder enviroment to finish building | ||
| jenda | beuno: I think the ticket would be about $50, then. | 09:17 |
| jenda | it can be pulled down to the $35 if I buy it straight away - but there is no option to cancel it later. | 09:18 |
| jenda | bah | 09:18 |
| jenda | I should be running. | 09:18 |
| jenda | Laters | 09:18 |
| jenda | :) | 09:18 |
| beuno | jenda: doesn't sound like much, especially since that will leave me half way back to where I ahve to end up | 09:18 |
| beuno | jenda: go, have "fun" | 09:18 |
| jenda | beuno: ah | 09:22 |
| jenda | beuno: I was talking about a return ticket | 09:22 |
| jenda | beuno: one-way will be cheaper. | 09:22 |
| beuno | jenda: go, we'll talk later, it's a holiday here today, I'm here all day :p | 09:22 |
| jenda | should be pretty close to half :) | 09:22 |
| jenda | ok, ok, ok :) | 09:22 |

| ukubuntu | Hi All, quick Q - I appreciate it is a big step having DELL on board, but should the http://www.ubuntu.com/ homepage have such an advert without saying that it is an advertisement, and did Canonical/Ubuntu gain revenue from it? | 12:01 |
| jenda | beuno: Are you under 26 years of age? I'll assume you are - that makes $20 for a fixed ticket or $25 for a movable/refundable one. The fixed ticket also has to be bought 30 days ahead... which means monday. I bought meself an open ticket... | 12:03 |
| jenda | ukubuntu: I'm afraid that's not a question for the Marketing Team... | 12:03 |
| jenda | ukubuntu: I've been wondering the same myself. | 12:03 |
| ukubuntu | thanks jenda, can you tell me who to ask? | 12:04 |
| jenda | ukubuntu: AFAIK, it hasn't been discussed with the community and is a purely commercial decision. However, it advertises computers with Ubuntu, so I suppose it supports the project too. | 12:04 |
| jenda | ukubuntu: matthew nuzum is the best man to ask. | 12:04 |
| ukubuntu | thank you, I will go looking | 12:04 |
| elkbuntu | then you get into 'why not advertise system76' | 12:19 |
| Madpilot | because there's no actual partnership between Canonical & S76, AFAIK | 12:20 |
| jenda | Well, I think that it should have been discussed with the community, if it's to be on ubuntu.com. | 12:21 |
| elkbuntu | guys, check the front page now | 12:50 |
| elkbuntu | err.. i've been misreading sorry | 12:50 |
