[12:13] <beuno> Burgwork: take a peek at it, I think I added most of what was in my head on there
[12:19] <Burgwork> ok, cool
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <beuno> I'll email the questions to you today or tomorrow, sound good?
[12:25] <beuno> Burgwork: "internal newsletter"?
[12:42] <Burgwork> the one Userful sends to our customers
[12:43] <beuno> well you seem to be popular these days then  :p
[12:45] <Burgwork> indeed
[01:16] <Burgwork> hmm, google just pinged me asking if I wanted to interview with them
[01:16] <beuno> Burgwork: "the big one"
[01:17] <boredandblogging> wow
[01:17] <Burgwork> apparently they are looking for coders, of which I am not one
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <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!"
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <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
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <boredandblogging> true, but the PR of them using Ubuntu and OSS to run all their stuff is nice
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <beuno> yeap yeap, that's very true
[01:35] <Burgwork> beuno: interview answers sent
[01:36] <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
[02:48] <Burgundavia> hmm, no beuno
[04:00] <Burgundavia> beuno: have you seen the Catalonian UWN page?
[04:01] <Burgundavia> beuno: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CatalanTeam/UWNreport?action=diff
[04:01] <beuno> Burgundavia: no, there is a UWN in catalan?
[04:01] <Burgundavia> anyway, need to eat
[04:03] <beuno> how did you come across that?   did anyone send it or did you just bump into it?
[04:04] <beuno> well, we hace our "Team of the Week"
[04:17] <Burgundavia> the latter
[04:19] <beuno> heh, funny he went through all that work and didn't contact me...
[04:23] <Burgundavia> or mysefl
[04:23] <Burgundavia> very odd
[09:04] <jenda> juliux: cwap
[09:04] <juliux> jenda, ?
[09:04] <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?
[09:05] <juliux> sure
[09:05] <jenda> Great, I'll ask pitti.
[09:08] <jenda> juliux: pitti has taekwondo on wednesday - he'd prefer friday the 29th.
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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 :)
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <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?
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <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 
[09:17] <jenda> beuno: I think the ticket would be about $50, then.
[09:18] <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"
[09:22] <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 :)
[12:00] <jenda> beuno: yo
[12:01] <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?
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <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
[12:19] <elkbuntu> then you get into 'why not advertise system76'
[12:20] <Madpilot> because there's no actual partnership between Canonical & S76, AFAIK
[12:21] <jenda> Well, I think that it should have been discussed with the community, if it's to be on ubuntu.com.
[12:50] <elkbuntu> guys, check the front page now
[12:50] <elkbuntu> err.. i've been misreading sorry
[12:50] <elkbuntu> only just noticed it
[12:51] <elkbuntu> and by gawd that is big :-/
[12:51] <elkbuntu> that thing takes up my ENTIRE screen
[01:08] <jenda> jono: any idea how long that humongous Dell advertisement is intended to hang on ubuntu.com?
[01:09] <jono> hey jenda
[01:09] <jenda> yo 
[01:09] <jono> no idea
[02:15] <toros> hi
[02:25] <jenda> toros: yo
[02:26] <yarddog> good morning
[02:42] <toros> morning? I just finished my second lunch... :)
[02:42] <yarddog> its 06:42 here :)
[02:44] <toros> 6:42? I can't move before 8.30 a.m.
[02:44] <toros> I am just unable to do it :)
[02:44] <yarddog> heh, i have to be at work at 8am
[02:44] <toros> And I nead about 15 minutes to really controll my movement :)
[02:45] <yarddog> i need an hour
[02:45] <toros> I have to be at work at 9.30
[02:46] <yarddog> i get off work at 16.30
[02:46] <yarddog> i think that is about 9.30 utc?
[02:47] <yarddog> err wait
[02:47] <yarddog> 23.30
[02:47] <yarddog> i get home about midnight UTC time
[02:47] <yarddog> i didnt know i worked nights, lol
[02:48] <toros> :)
[02:48] <toros> i live in central-europe, (CET zone)
[02:48] <yarddog> i am in new mexico, usa, MST zone
[02:49] <yarddog> i think that is -7 UTC
[02:49] <yarddog> or -6
[02:50] <yarddog> not sure
[02:50] <toros> according to google, UTC-7
[02:50] <yarddog> ahh
[02:51] <yarddog> so are you UTC+x?
[02:51] <toros> UTC+2 in summer
[02:51] <toros> UTC+1 in winter
[02:52] <yarddog> so we're probably -6 in the winter then
[02:52] <yarddog> im getting confused, its too early
[02:52] <yarddog> :P
[02:53] <yarddog> its almost 16.00 where you are at now?
[02:53] <toros> 14:53
[02:53] <yarddog> i need more coffee :)
[02:55] <yarddog> ok, so you're 8 hours ahead of me :)

[07:13] <jenda> :)
[07:47] <meatballhat> jenda: ! :)  howdeeee
[07:50] <jenda> meatballhat: I'm not really here ;)
[07:50] <tsmithe> yes, he's 'studying'
[07:50] <meatballhat> jenda: the Czech apparition
[07:50] <jenda> hehe
[07:51] <jenda> tsmithe: actually, today I'm just getting ready to study :)
[07:51] <tsmithe> ok. he's `translating`
[07:51] <jenda> I had latin exam today... dunno if I passed yet...
[07:51] <jenda> nah :)
[07:51] <tsmithe> pah
[07:52] <jenda> I'm downloading study-stuff to take with me, because I'm going outta town for the weekend. I have two exams at the end of next week: Politology and Constitutional Law.
[07:54] <tsmithe> oh how fascinating
[07:57] <jenda> very 
[08:30] <beuno> jenda: so there isn't much difference between buying it now and closer to the date?
[08:30] <jenda> beuno: for the open ticket, there is no difference.
[08:31] <jenda> beuno: or you can buy... make me buy... the fixed which is $5 cheaper.
[08:31] <jenda> It's better to buy ahead anyway, because the bus could also fill up.
[08:31] <jenda> But if you get the open ticket, we'll have the option of changing the time/date.
[08:32] <beuno> jenda: alright, lemme see now what it would cost me to get ober to prague...
[08:32] <jenda> do dat
[08:32] <jenda>
