kennymc0oh johnc4510 about that last link that you said to delete it's probably a good thing that we arent including it because the title was "Ubuntu sucks. I hate Linux"15:47

johnc4510however, the article was very complimentary of Ubuntu15:48
johnc4510it was an odd thing15:48

myrtlebeachbums1Rules on on-call: 1. Never watch a movie. It draws calls like a bug zapper draws flies, 2. Work has a sensor to determine the moment you hit the deepest REM sleep so that they can call then.16:40

johnc4510-laptopnew issue of the UWN #127 is out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue12720:28
LirazSirihey guys21:45
tycheWhat's up?21:45
LirazSirigreat, I wanted to ask why we weren't also doing jaunty bug statistics?21:46
tycheIt'll probably come.  Just as Jaunty updates will probably come when it goes Beta21:46
tycheThat's when we usually start that.21:47
LirazSiriIt makes more sense I think to focus on pre-release statistics than post-release statistics21:47
LirazSiriThats what Debian do21:47
LirazSiriin fact, thats their criteria for release. When the RC bugs go down to 021:48
tycheNot really.  Pre-release is all very well, but it's POST-release that lets people know what's been done.  And if we waited for bugs to go to zero, we'd never get it out.21:48
tychePlus, some of the bugs don't show up until AFTER the release.21:48
tycheRemember, we may USE Debian, but we are NOT Debian.  Our ways are different.21:49
LirazSiriah so you think people hold back until they see what experience others are getting with the new release. Interesting.21:49
LirazSiriyes, I remember reading Shuttleworth's rational for starting a new project rather than contributing to Debian21:50
LirazSiricontributing directly I mean. I think Ubuntu contributes plenty...21:50
tycheI know some of that takes place.  Just as I know that there are people already running the Alpha release.  Ubuntu people cover a wide range of experience and ability.  Oh, and BTW, Ubuntu DOES contribute to Debian.  Remember, Mark was a Debian developer, and there are STILL major contacts with it.21:51
tycheIn fact, there are Debian developers that are Ubuntu developers.21:52
tycheAt least from what I've heard.21:52
LirazSiriof course. Most of Ubuntu's strongest developers are also Debian Developers. If I'm not mistaken Mark took Debian's mailing list archives with him on a trip to the Artic to figure out whom to approach for a job developing Ubuntu21:53
LirazSiriit's a nice story actually21:53
LirazSirilast time I checked (I was doing a little research) - most Ubuntu developers lead "double" lives21:53
LirazSiriUbuntu developers by day, Debian developers by night. Or something to that effect anyway21:54
tycheThe point is that there's a wide open superhighway, not just a path, between Ubuntu and Debian.21:55
LirazSiriyep. ok I have to run off now, just wanted to say hello but I guess I missed most of the guys.21:55
LirazSiritake care tyche21:55
tycheWhat Debian does is very good.  What Ubuntu does is very good.  The two are not in competition, but in cooperation.21:55
tycheIt's superbowl sunday.  Most of them are watching the pre-game, and then the game.21:56
