[18:55] <somerville32> Eww
[18:56] <somerville32> Gah, I can't type this mor^H^H^Hafternoon.
[18:56] <somerville32> Anybody want some juicy Ubuntu gossip? :P
[19:25] <Burgundavia> somerville32: sure
[19:26] <somerville32> Burgundavia, I heard from a certain birdy that certain federal departments in Canada are piloting a migration to Ubuntu
[19:28] <boredandblogging> thats awesome news
[19:29] <Burgundavia> very cool
[19:29] <Burgundavia> any ideas which ones
[19:29] <Burgundavia> ?
[19:30] <somerville32> It has something to do with money
[19:31] <somerville32> Basically, they're moving to everyone to Laptops at the same time too
[19:31] <somerville32> At first, it'll dual boot windows and Ubuntu
[19:31] <Burgundavia> ahh
[19:32] <somerville32> But, you didn't hear this from me :)
[20:04] <MenZa> :o
[20:04] <MenZa> ooh good gossip
[21:00] <somerville32> MenZa, I try my best ;]
[21:05] <somerville32> Btw
[21:05] <somerville32> The department that is piloting this is  Service Canada
[21:06] <somerville32> The pilot will see 100 people move over to a dualboot
[21:08] <somerville32> If it works, they'll migrate the other twenty-eight thousand workstations
[21:08] <somerville32> btw, this isn't to go into the UWN :P
[21:10]  * beuno promptly cancels the edit  :p
[21:10] <somerville32> lol
[21:11] <somerville32> lol
[21:11] <beuno> had a nice title and everything:  "Cody Sommerville conquers 28.000 desktops"
[21:11] <somerville32> Thats a pretty precise number :P
[21:11] <beuno> I can't reveale my sources
[21:11] <beuno> (my typing is awful today)
[21:19]  * somerville32 harvests more juicy info
[21:38] <boredandblogging> somerville32: are they use canonical or third party vendors to do that?
[21:38] <somerville32> They aren't at that point yet to decide.
[21:38] <somerville32> But I imagine both
[21:39] <somerville32> They'll higher contractors to bring in for a few years and also buy a vendor contract (ie. Canonical)
