[12:24] right [12:24] funny, given I am being interviewed at this very moment for our internal newsletter [12:25] I'll email the questions to you today or tomorrow, sound good?

[01:19] possibly [01:19] and I do highly suspect they look through such lists [01:19] that would motivate some people [01:19] possibly [01:19] Burgwork: I would say almost 100% they do, I got them in my @ubuntu address [01:19] "become and Ubuntu member and be scouted by Google!" [01:20] however, they emailed my @gmail.com addy, not the ubuntu.com one [01:20] Burgwork: maybe you have that one as a "preferred" one in launchpad? [01:20] I wonder if they screenscrape sf.net, LP, etc, looking for top contributors [01:20] anyway, Google is the black abyss [01:21] go there and you are never heard from again [01:21] ha, yes, I've heard that many times [01:21] only a relatively few end up working on open source projects [01:22] the only example I can think of is Mozilla, most of the top dogs are paid by Google [01:22] think they have started releasing some of their mysql hacks recently [01:23] boredandblogging: yeap, and made they fed a LOT of wine patches when they released Picasa under Linux [01:23] but in comparison to the amount of open source people they hire, they do give very little back I think [01:24] true, but the PR of them using Ubuntu and OSS to run all their stuff is nice [01:25] again, only a select few [01:25] yeah [01:25] those they hire for specific open source projects, like the mozilla people, or the samba or the linux kernel people [01:25] everybody else disappears into the maw [01:26] yeap yeap, that's very true [01:35] beuno: interview answers sent [01:36] now I am off home [01:36] Burgwork: thank you very much [01:36] I'll be doing the same in a bit === vorian [n=grrr@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=rjian@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian_ [n=rjian@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:48] hmm, no beuno === zerbero5 [n=jga@pD9E621D0.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === vorian [n=grrr@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === n2diy [n=darryl@66.212.42.203] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [04:00] beuno: have you seen the Catalonian UWN page?

[09:10] yay! Dresden! [09:10] jenda: how are you going? plane? [09:10] beuno: Student Agency bus :) [09:11] I might be able to go to prague, then to dresden, then go back to Madrid [09:11] 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] juliux: what do you think about that? [09:12] 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] not that Im picky, just curious :p [09:13] beuno: I'm picking up about 12 gigantic organic chemistry books for my friends. [09:13] beuno: also taking some stickers there and some shirts back. [09:13] regular fee... lemme see... [09:13] jenda, about what? [09:14] juliux: about beuno coming along :) We would have a truly international meeting, then :) [09:14] why not [09:14] well, I've got about 6 or 7 days to wonder around, so everything sounds pretty good to me :D [09:15] I'll be all hyped afeter debconf, might be good to get back into the Ubuntu spirit :D [09:15] beuno: I'll ask them today about the price of an on-the-spot-bought-full-price-ticket [09:15] hehe [09:15] ok [09:15] now... off to latin exam. [09:15] This sounds like great fun :-D [09:15] jenda: good luck [09:15] thanks === beuno waits patiently for his pbuilder enviroment to finish building [09:17] beuno: I think the ticket would be about $50, then. [09:18] 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] bah [09:18] I should be running. [09:18] Laters [09:18] :) [09:18] jenda: doesn't sound like much, especially since that will leave me half way back to where I ahve to end up [09:18] jenda: go, have "fun" [09:22] beuno: ah [09:22] beuno: I was talking about a return ticket [09:22] beuno: one-way will be cheaper.

[12:03] 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] ukubuntu: I'm afraid that's not a question for the Marketing Team... [12:03] ukubuntu: I've been wondering the same myself. [12:04] thanks jenda, can you tell me who to ask? [12:04] 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] ukubuntu: matthew nuzum is the best man to ask. [12:04] thank you, I will go looking [12:19] then you get into 'why not advertise system76' [12:20] because there's no actual partnership between Canonical & S76, AFAIK [12:21] Well, I think that it should have been discussed with the community, if it's to be on ubuntu.com.
