[08:06] <ebo____> hi everybody!
[08:07] <ebo____> I have a problem with Ubuntu One...
[08:08] <ebo____> I cant change the share folder...
[08:14] <ebo____> help! I need somebody help!
[08:14] <ebo____> hahah
[11:52] <bne> hello
[11:53] <bne> I'm struggling to see the USP of ubuntu one over something like dropbox
[11:54] <bne> anyone care to elucidate?
[11:54] <alanbell> bne: file sharing is step 1 of n
[11:54] <bne> uhuh
[11:54] <alanbell> U1 is setting up an infrastructure for collaboration
[11:54] <alanbell> which could do all sorts of interesting things
[11:55] <bne> so the idea of the OS in the cloud kinda thing?
[11:55] <alanbell> maybe
[11:55] <alanbell> <wild speculation mode>
[11:55] <bne> :)
[11:55] <alanbell> could do screen sharing and co-editing
[11:56] <bne> ok...
[11:56] <alanbell> could form groups of computers into virtual LANs
[11:56] <alanbell> so they can communicate, share printers etc
[11:56] <alanbell> could do hosted mail domains for groups of computers
[11:57] <alanbell> could be linked to some of the Landscape stuff for managing computers
[11:57] <alanbell> it has a couchDB back end which is very interesting to me
[11:57] <alanbell> </wild speculation mode>
[11:57] <BUGabundo> LOL
[11:59] <bne> the biggest advantage I saw to dropbox was the OS agnosticism
[11:59] <bne> no matter how good something is I always feel a bit claustrophobic being tied
[11:59] <bne> in
[12:00] <refic> been waiting for invitation over a month ._.
[12:00] <bne> though as you say, the
[12:00] <bne> file sharing is only the start
[12:00] <BUGabundo> refic: I can give you an invite
[12:00] <BUGabundo> refic: PVT me your LP email
[12:00] <bne> sorry  - stilted, knacked enter key :0
[12:01] <BUGabundo> bne:  well I like how DB uses hash to help uploading files
[12:01] <BUGabundo> if they are already on the servers, you won't upload them
[12:02] <BUGabundo> refic: invite sent! welcome to the Cloud!
[12:02] <bne> BUGabundo: that's both kinda cool and slightly scary
[12:02] <BUGabundo> ahhaahahaha
[12:03] <bne> serving other people files even if they are the same ones?
[12:03] <bne> urk
[12:03] <refic> BUGabundo: cool, thank you very much! :)
[12:03] <BUGabundo> np
[12:03] <BUGabundo> bne: it's the Cloud.. why not?
[12:03] <BUGabundo> if it is sensible, encrypt it
[12:03] <bne> true true
[12:05] <bne> any idea why couchDB in particular was chosen over something like mungo or other?
[12:05] <bne> not that I have an opinion either way
[12:05] <bne> just inquisitive
[12:13] <refic> does the client work on kubuntu?
[12:14] <BUGabundo> yes
[12:14] <BUGabundo> hey kklimonda_
[12:15] <refic> good good
[14:24] <facundobatista> Hi all
[20:47] <BUGabundo> boas noites
[22:47] <czajkowski> evening
[23:01] <BUGabundo> hey czajkowski
[23:01] <BUGabundo> how is the Cloud taking care of you, today?
