So, there should probably be quotes around Catalan Countries signifying that its not really countries. Thats probably my mistake. [02:21] whell, my be i'm taking the words literally, but may be that must be rephrased so there is no posible mistake === johnc4510 greets all [02:24] GatoLoko: actually it says that Catalan countries refers to territories where Catalan is traditionally spoken. I think that is clear enough. [02:24] in the UWN [02:24] hi johnc4510 [02:25] boredandblogging: howdy [02:25] :) [02:25] was there a marketing meeting last week? [02:26] boredandblogging there is much more conflict about this [02:26] GatoLoko: ok, I'll take the word "countries" out and rephrase it [02:27] i can't explaint it easily, but even between our people this is a hard topic to talk about [02:27] boredandblogging: on the 12 th i think [02:28] johnc4510: thanks, I need to take a peek at the logs [02:28] some of the territorios caught under "territories where catalan is traditionally spoken" doesn't want to be part of catalonia [02:28] and some of them even want to be independent from spains AND catalonia [02:28] xD [02:29] but that's out of topic, the thing here is that ubuntu may want to be aware that there can be some conflict whith the way this is wrote now [02:30] and avoid it if that's posible [02:31] GatoLoko: I understand, I've made a slight change, take a look at it now [02:36] i think that this way can work, i hope nobody get mad about the change [02:43] GatoLoko: ok, thanks for pointing all this out [02:44] was the marketing meeting on the 12th in here? was it logged? [02:46] afaik, there was no meeting [02:47] Burgundavia: wasn't there a discussion on the list about a meeting? [02:47] yes [02:47] boredandblogging: sorry that was t Community Marketing meeting [03:51] release notes for kubuntu are in active developement...thats good news === jfalconer [n=jfalcone@203-219-234-92-syd-ts25-2600.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jfalconer [n=jfalcone@203-219-234-92-syd-ts25-2600.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jfalconer [n=jfalcone@203-219-234-92-syd-ts25-2600.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:48] Hi everyone. I'm here just trying to get some input from the Ubuntu community. Recently I spoke to Vorian about a theme song for Ubuntu, and I'm currently working on demos. But in the spirit of open source (and creative commons that I license all my songs with), I would love to hear what the Ubuntu community wants to hear in a song. [05:48] And of course, what variations from my usual style people would like to see [05:48] My material (free, Creative Commons) is at http://www.midnighthaulkerton.com/alfadir [05:54] oh no. [05:54] Please. Go no further. [05:55] lol, why do you say that? [05:57] Remember the GNU song? [05:57] Do you want to be -that- guy? [05:57] LOL [05:58] I have heard it [05:58] Once. I refused to ever again. [05:58] Plus, when you say "theme song", I assume you mean some kind of song with words. And, as some of us are aware, all songs with words are completely horrible. [05:58] And cheesy. [05:58] I'm thinking something more conceptual, than the GNU song. Using the concept of ubuntu. [05:59] There's probably a reason MS hasn't tried this with Windows already. Or Apple with Mac. [05:59] Bill Gates licenses "Start Me Up" by the Rolling [05:59] Stones for $13m to promote Win 95. [05:59] Unfortunately for the sane world... it was successful [06:00] Okay, so license "Free Your Mind" or "Revolution" or something [06:00] Please don't make an embarrassing theme song for Ubuntu. [06:01] I'm not saying you're a bad musician... if John Lennon wrote a song for Ubuntu, it would be embarrassing. [06:02] Hehe. Don't worry it wasn't my intention to do the embarrassing theme song route. Are you assuming 'theme song' as in the kind of song that uses direct references and talks about the subject? [06:02] Will it have words? [06:02] I know what you mean. That would be corny rubbish. I haven't heard "Free Your Mind" or "Revolution" but it sounds more along the lines of what I was going to do. [06:02] If it does, not many. Not prominently either. [06:03] Does it involve guitars? [06:04] I was thinking synths on this one === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Hobbsee waves [06:10] The one track I've gotten Songbird to play so far... sounds like Bob Dylan. [06:10] Which one is that? [06:11] OC [06:11] Ah [06:12] now it's showing the other ones, since I've clicked on the RSS. You should really have mp3 links centralized somewhere. [06:12] Seems like ten years ago when I wrote that [06:12] There is a page that lists all songs, but I haven't gotten around to adding direct download links yet. It links through to the post for each tuneback [06:13] http://www.midnighthaulkerton.com/alfadir/free-midnighthaulkerton-songs-for-download/ [06:13] mmhmm. [06:13] is this you singing? [06:13] Yeah [06:13] what's with the Pearl Jam / Creed / etc. thing? [06:13] Hehe, dunno, never really listened to them [06:14] You do the same voice they rip off from each other [06:14] In OC? [06:14] well, politics is playing now [06:14] Ah [06:15] I just mean the "rrrrrrhhhh!" tonality [06:15] ah, the gravelly tone [06:15] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UJHhUc2mSw [06:17] LOL [06:20] mind you all the songs on that site are tunebacks. the aim of a tuneback is to write, record and publish a song in under an hour. if we're not done we wrap up and publish what we got. sometimes we have better hours, sometimes we don't :D === johnc4511 [n=johnc@ip68-231-136-42.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === johnc4510 [n=johnc@ip68-231-136-42.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === nixternal_ [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [07:47] hee hee yes in next UWN on the freenode security but it should get some interested in irssi === BHSPitMonkey [n=stephen@adsl-65-69-154-198.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === katkin [i=katkin@nat/canonical/x-a364dd895b98617c] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === zerbero__2 [n=jga@pD9E60EB7.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Vorian [n=Steve@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === pleia2 [n=lyz@ubuntu/member/pleia2] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:12] hey [01:13] on the 14th of this month myself and a teammate from the us-pa LoCo team were on a local AM radio station computer show [01:14] we talked about ubuntu and there is now a podcast of the program available [01:14] 1) is this UWN-worthy? 2) If so, is it possible to get some hosting for this 23M podcast?
