[01:12] Thanks nixternal [01:12] my teacher just asked me what my GPLv3 t-shirt means === nixternal drops the class [01:13] :D [01:13] teachers have usually lots of learning requirements even they don't admit it [01:13] omfg [01:14] ? [01:14] she just admitted she is a Linux user and instructor [01:14] but doesn't know what the gpl is [01:14] and doesn't know gpl? [01:15] ok.. users sometimes don't know [01:15] oh wow, she isn't all there...damn I got in the wrong class [01:16] what is that? Uni? [01:16] ya [01:16] this is scary [01:16] she just said c# is replacing c++ [01:16] I am scared, somebody hold me ;p === txwikinger hopes nixternal is not scared if he admits being a lecturer at Uni :D [01:17] sounds like M$ brainwashing [01:17] txwikinger: I lecture at a couple Uni's in the Chicago land area about Linux and Free Software, so I gotcha ;) [01:17] Burgundavia: I'm leaving in 20', was there something you wanted from me? [01:17] beuno: not really [01:17] just saying hi [01:17] I lectured compiler contruction and theory of CS [01:18] oh, that's nice of you :D [01:18] Now I am asked to develop a course about JDBC, .NET, and Hibernate and so on [01:18] I haven't slept in about 38 hours, so I'm probably going to get some sleep now [01:18] seems to be a virus here ... not sleeping and so [01:21] txwikinger: let's hope it doesn't stick for too long [01:22] :) [01:25] g'night Burgundavia === beuno pokes jenda and leaves a "it's almost a done deal I'll be there by the 27th" and goes to bed [01:27] yo [01:27] beuno: :) [01:28] beuno: once it really is done, tell me - I'll get you a bus ticket.

[01:30] I'll decide in the enxt couple of days, need to secure my transportation from london to prague and I'll give you the thumbs up for the ticket [01:30] the sooner the better for all of us :D [01:30] Whoa... you're going to bed the same time I am? Is Globalization shifting timezones, too? :) [01:30] beuno: [01:31] My ticket isn't reserved for that particular bus yet either, so no hurry, methinks. [01:31] jenda: it's either globalization or the fact the I haven't slept in 38 hours [01:31] one of those two [01:31] hehee [01:31] ok [01:32] Good night :) [01:32] night jenda [01:32] night all === beuno is off === Lipe_ [n=Lipe_@17-32-235-201.fibertel.com.ar] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Kopete] [02:00] txwikinger: the teacher doesn't know what Ubuntu is (she does now though) or what KDE is (she does now) and she claimed herself as a Linux instructor [02:01] my lord the US Education system is failing ;) === bordy240 [n=chris@153-161.127-70.tampabay.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === bordy240 [n=chris@153-161.127-70.tampabay.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === bordy240 is now known as bordy_away === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-195-12.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === alpha-one [n=alpha-on@ppp-69-217-63-107.dsl.applwi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === n2diy_ [n=darryl@ppp-42d429ae.wlks.losch.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jono [n=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === greg_g [n=greg@c-75-72-154-21.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [04:15] elkbuntu, nixternal: you lot around?

[05:23] Burgundavia: ^^ [05:24] was kicking around an idea last night [05:25] the basic idea is thus: use the power of our massive loco teams to help influence gov't to support Open Source and get rid of DMCA/software patents [05:25] basically a "WriteYourRepresentative" [05:26] what hte marketing team woudl do would be write a basic letter, one for the federal level, one for the state/provinical and one for the local level [05:26] nixternal_: ^ [05:26] hehe, me and manchicken have been doing so already [05:27] excellent [05:27] he has received 1 response from the person he sent it to, however it is vanilla. so far my responses have been from a bunch of lackies [05:27] figured something like this was already being done [05:27] I don't know if everyone is doing it [05:27] but I am going to start another round, which I will make public [05:27] I would be down with that.... [05:28] but that is a good idea to have a basic letter format though [05:28] ok, sounds good [05:28] and try to keep it somewhat personal, as the people who you are sending them to, supposedly represent you and consider you their friend [05:28] at least that is the BS our government tells us [05:28] heh [05:28] but we all watch the news :) [05:29] the idea would be that specific loco teams would create specific letters for their members to send [05:29] my county's courthouse uses Ubuntu in all of their public kiosks [05:29] I heard the familiar startup tune waiting for my line of questioning for jury duty [05:30] to bad they don't think we need more drug dealers as well [05:32] anyway, shall we get this going? [05:32] +1 from me [05:32] if I create the basic page, can you get teh chicago letters up? [05:32] sure can [05:33] manchicken (Michael D. Stemle Jr.) blogged his recently on the planet [05:33] here is the great thing about me...I didn't save a soft copy :) [05:33] but I plan on resending anyways, because I am not happy with someone who isn't even my representative responding [05:33] I can get some letters out as well (.../me from ohio) [05:33] i.e., a page or such, and everyone seen the news and just what these pages are all about :) === hojimbo [n=jim@host64119118e9.gorm.res.tor.fcibroadband.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rexbron [n=rexbron@142.179.60.195] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:39] nixternal: creating the page now [05:39] rock on with your bad self :) [05:41] indeed [05:46] nixternal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WriteYourRepresentative [05:47] hahaha [05:47] good deal...now to come up witha generic letter [05:48] can you start dumping stuff from your letter on that generic page?
