[00:04] <boredandblogging> hello
[00:04] <DPic> hi
[00:04] <boredandblogging> in meeting? ok
[02:02] <maccam94> i take it we've already learned from that article that was on digg a while back?
[02:14] <maccam94> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=clnk&cd=6&url=http%3A%2F%2F64.233.169.104%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dcache%3AB1jvt3wvqC0J%3Ablog.gobanquet.com%2Findex.php%2Fwhy-ubuntu-804-needs-better-marketing%2F%2B%2522Let%25E2%2580%2599s%2Bfix%2Bthat%2C%2Bby%2Blooking%2Bat%2Bhow%2Bthe%2B7.10%2Bannouncement%2Bcould%2Bbe%2Bimproved.%2522%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26cd%3D6%26gl%3Dus%26client%3Dfirefox-a&ei=Wa_pR-6cK5T2eYa13JUP&usg=AFQjCNHIWAU7kIAJAqLW
[02:14] <maccam94> the original site is temporarily offline for some reason
[02:17] <maccam94> we should also keep in mind that we aren't marketing this release as an upgrade. marketing materials shouldn't just be about what's _new_, they should be about ubuntu overall
[02:19] <Flannel> and included in that, to some extent, is what Linux is.
[02:19] <maccam94> Flannel: indeed
[02:19] <maccam94> btw, my comments are in reference to the upcoming Hardy release
[02:50] <boredandblogging> may I suggest tinyurl?
[03:32] <maccam94> boredandblogging: sorry, i have an aversion to it (in general they can lead to unsafe things, it's just a habit)
[03:34] <boredandblogging> believe there is a preview thing on tinyurl
[03:34] <boredandblogging> but I get what you mean
[06:05] <pleaseandthankyo> how can i load goubuntu?
[09:50] <katkin> popey: ping
[11:41] <popey> katkin: pong
[11:42] <katkin> popey: hey, did you see my e-mail?
[11:43] <popey> yes, already added it to my site, and now added to screencasts and will add to the uk podcast site too
[11:48] <popey> katkin: also sent a mail to our loco team to encourage them to add to their blogs/sites
[11:49] <katkin> popey: perfect, perfect :) thanks very much - just need to spread the good word as widely as possible :D
[11:49] <popey> :)
[12:00] <juliux> hi katkin 
[12:25] <juliux> jenda_, put some beer in your frigde, now it sure that i will come to prague;)
[14:02] <mrec> hi, anyone awake?
[14:02] <mrec> I wonder about the legal issues with ubuntu, eg. royalty fees for mpeg and dolby?
[14:02] <cody-somerville> Hello mrec 
[14:03] <mrec> I'm concerned about that when making binary packages for ubuntu actually 
[14:03] <mrec> sourcecode is available too
[14:03] <mrec> hi cody
[14:03] <cody-somerville> Ubuntu only ships Open Source Software, ie. Free Software.
[14:03] <mrec> I've been told that Dolby charges on a per app basis
[14:04] <mrec> MPEG charges a package fee, buy one time use it as often as you want
[14:04] <mrec> well Dolby support is included in ffmpeg ..
[14:05] <mrec> so the question is how does ubuntu deal with that?
[14:05] <mrec> I just don't want to get sued otherwise I wouldn't care
[14:07] <mrec> ubuntu also ships binary only drivers (eg. ati as far as I know)
[14:08] <mrec> although that's not the topic, since I only have free opensource software..
[14:10] <cody-somerville> Ubuntu doesn't provide that software
[14:11] <cody-somerville> You can either purchase it yourself or you can download it (which may or may be illegal in your country).
[14:12] <cody-somerville> For more information, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[14:12] <cody-somerville> For further support with Ubuntu, please see the #ubuntu IRC channel. :)
[14:25] <mrec> cody-somerville: ok thanks
[14:25] <mrec> I hoped there would have been a better way
[14:26] <cody-somerville> mrec, There is codec buddy
