| DPic | anybody have anything to put on our agenda for the next meeting? | 02:26 |
|---|---|---|
| boredandblogging | DPic: probably need to keep encouraging LoCos to share flyers and posters | 03:29 |
| DPic | yeah | 03:30 |
| Flannel | DPic: California came up with some neat CD sleeves. We're almost ready to release them for general consumption | 03:33 |
| DPic | cool | 03:33 |
| Flannel | Speaking of, what are the *actual* official colors of each flavor? | 03:34 |
| Flannel | since, the wiki lists conflict for Ubuntu anyway | 03:35 |
| Flannel | the wiki being this page : | 03:42 |
| Flannel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official | 03:42 |
| Flannel | then the Ubuntu Palette (png/svg) vs the Hex colors above it | 03:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Say, does anyone know of a good starter guide to using Gobby? | 06:33 |
| BHSPitMonkey | man gobby | 08:14 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Flannel, better asked in #ubuntu-artwork | 08:15 |
| Mirv | boredandblogging: any news on the plans on having the press release multi-lingually published at ubuntu.com? I'd guess you already have a few translations back. | 10:39 |
| Mirv | (mine included) | 10:46 |
| hubuntu | hello | 13:47 |
| === _Czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| magicfab | boredandblogging, ping - re: press releases | 15:25 |
| magicfab | boredandblogging, I'd like to have access to translate adapt them for release in QC, Canada (french) and Colombia (spanish), two teams I am the contact for. | 15:26 |
| magicfab | beuno, cody-somerville ^ | 15:26 |
| cody-somerville | magicfab, I was going to get a friend of mine to do the French Canada but I haven't had a chance to send it to him yet so I'll send it to you. | 15:27 |
| magicfab | cody-somerville, k | 15:27 |
| cody-somerville | magicfab, Can't you get it internally? I thought you worked for Canonical. | 15:27 |
| magicfab | cody-somerville, no. If I told you why I'd have to kill you :) | 15:28 |
| magicfab | And I specially can't do this while "on the job" | 15:28 |
| * magicfab turns on the strobe light on his community hat | 15:28 | |
| magicfab | (and yes I work at C.) | 15:29 |
| magicfab | when/how will we know when it can be released ? | 15:30 |
| cody-somerville | The embargo is lifted on the 22nd | 15:30 |
| cody-somerville | magicfab, I'm at work so it'll be a few moments before I can sendi t | 15:31 |
| magicfab | :) do you also have the spanish or I need to bug beuno ? | 15:31 |
| hubuntu | I want to approach a laptop (Compal branding) manufacturer here in Scandinavia to see options for them to either distribute the PCs with Ubuntu or at least test the machines with the system and put the info on the laptop testing team | 15:32 |
| hubuntu | I have a contact inside the company (have sold many before as I worked as a reseller) and we explored the option for 2 years ago | 15:33 |
| hubuntu | They had their own distro (zeptix) for like 3-4 years ago | 15:33 |
| magicfab | hubuntu, are you trying to convince them to actually certify the machines formally ? | 15:33 |
| hubuntu | I don't think they are up to using money on it at the certification level | 15:34 |
| cody-somerville | magicfab, What do you mean the spanish one? | 15:34 |
| hubuntu | but they sure are up to offer an option.. | 15:34 |
| magicfab | cody-somerville, spanish press release | 15:34 |
| hubuntu | They sell computers today with Windows and the "No OS" option | 15:34 |
| cody-somerville | magicfab, I don't have the Spanish translation no. | 15:34 |
| hubuntu | www.zepto.no | 15:34 |
| hubuntu | zepto.com | 15:34 |
| magicfab | hubuntu, you can show them http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ for examples of other manufacturers going through that. as that list grows I imagine people will refer to it when buying. | 15:35 |
| magicfab | hubuntu, the LaptopTestingTeam content is badly outdated | 15:35 |
| hubuntu | I know | 15:35 |
| magicfab | hubuntu, but the templates there are the next best thing to actual formal certification. | 15:35 |
| hubuntu | ok, so If I approach to them (either as an entusiast or as a business card holder) I should recommend certification? | 15:36 |
| hubuntu | have some prices available | 15:36 |
| hubuntu | ? | 15:36 |
| magicfab | hubuntu, are doing business with them or just being a nice community member ? :) | 15:37 |
| hubuntu | I am not sure quite right at the moment | 15:38 |
| hubuntu | It depends on what they want/need | 15:39 |
| hubuntu | I'm always up for business, but I put my community role first when it comes to Ubuntu | 15:39 |
| magicfab | If they express interest you could let them know about Canonical's formal certification, get that information first. | 15:39 |
| magicfab | You can also propose yourself to do the LaptopTeamTesting stuff, I guess. | 15:39 |
| hubuntu | I mean they have serious GNU/Linux interest | 15:40 |
| hubuntu | they even had zeptix! | 15:40 |
| magicfab | Just makre sure they don't confuse your offer (community or business) with Canonical's | 15:40 |
| hubuntu | rthat's the idea | 15:40 |
| hubuntu | I want to approach to them and do the Laptoptesting thing for free | 15:40 |
| magicfab | As far a using the Ubuntu trademark, if you are an Ubuntu member you can use it. Just always make sure they understand YOU are not Ubuntu by yourself :D | 15:41 |
| hubuntu | and If something else arises, well then I give them Mark's email ;) | 15:41 |
| magicfab | Take a good read of this: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/hardwareprogramme | 15:41 |
| hubuntu | I have | 15:41 |
| hubuntu | I', thinkking of how to combine both roles, but It all depends on what they want | 15:41 |
| magicfab | Then you know Mark is not handling that ;) | 15:42 |
| hubuntu | I know, I'm just kidding | 15:42 |
| hubuntu | I gave them CDs when Dapper came out | 15:43 |
| hubuntu | They did some testing, but then the company got sold... | 15:43 |
| hubuntu | Now the company is been sold back to the original stakeholders and we'll see what happens ;) | 15:43 |
| magicfab | interesting | 15:43 |
| magicfab | be careful when offering things for free (like work). Companies often think it's worthless and may get used to it. | 15:44 |
| hubuntu | I know this guys and they know I work as a consultant, but they also know I'm very entusiastic about Ubuntu | 15:45 |
| hubuntu | So they are up for selling some more machines, and that's good | 15:45 |
| hubuntu | and I'm up to make ubuntu grow, just because I can ;) | 15:46 |
| magicfab | What is the community like in Scandinavia ? | 15:46 |
| hubuntu | that's good too, right? | 15:46 |
| hubuntu | Very active | 15:46 |
| magicfab | sure, although certificaiton is just one part - they will probably have to support that, which means training their staff on it. Or paying someone to support that. | 15:47 |
| hubuntu | but ina strange way... | 15:47 |
| hubuntu | yeah, I see the company I work for as the support partner If the question arises, but before that Time we will of course have become partners | 15:47 |
| magicfab | from Ecuador ? | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | with Canonical | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | Norway | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | I live in Oslo ;) | 15:48 |
| magicfab | I am confused - I thought you lived in Ecuador | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | I am the contact member for ubuntu-ec | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | but live in Oslo | 15:48 |
| hubuntu | it's a networked world, you know ;) | 15:49 |
| magicfab | I know. I am the contact for Ubuntu-co. and I live in Montreal, Canada. We should start a support group. | 15:49 |
| hubuntu | pretty much like you & ubuntu-co | 15:49 |
| magicfab | Oh, sometimes there are big voids of disconnected people, you know :) | 15:50 |
| hubuntu | I will take contact with these guys and let you know | 15:50 |
| hubuntu | Now I have some FLISOL organizing to do | 15:50 |
| magicfab | go! | 15:52 |
| magicfab | I have a router to un-brick :) | 15:52 |
| magicfab | see you around | 15:52 |
| hubuntu | has anyone here by any chance contact (as in I can call him) with carl or other System76 people? | 16:10 |
| hubuntu | Ireally need to get in contact and buy some stickers from them | 16:10 |
| MenZa | hubuntu: http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=24 | 16:11 |
| hubuntu | thanks MenZa ! | 16:21 |
| MenZa | np. | 16:22 |
| Flannel | Anyone have a rough estimate of the amount of programs in Ubuntu repos? | 19:38 |
| beuno | Flannel, IIRC, it should be around ~30k | 19:39 |
| Flannel | beuno: there are only 25K packages | 19:39 |
| beuno | Flannel, well, there you go | 19:40 |
| Flannel | beuno: packages include libraries, etc | 19:40 |
