paultaghaha, toldja!03:12
paultagdoctormo: I had something I wanted to say to you, but i've forgotten03:12

paultaghaha03:12
paultagdoctormo: tealux rocks, btw03:12
doctormopaultag: The tea place I got to in SanFran was pretty awesome too.03:29

paultagaye :P03:29
pleia2and you can stay on my couch03:31
paultagpleia2: funny you mention that03:32
paultagpleia2: I was trying to set up a ubuntu member couchsurfing app03:32
pleia2hehe03:32
paultagpleia2: I think it would rock!03:32
pleia2unfortunately I don't think I could actually play along, living next to moscone center I have enough couch-surfers without an app :)03:33
paultagaye :)03:33
paultagI was thinking for uds etc03:33
pleia2if you have a big house...03:34
paultagpleia2: well it's not always a two way thing. You can use it to seek out places to crash without offering your house03:34
paultagpleia2: but I have not spent more then 10 minutes thinking about this :/03:34
pleia2hehe03:34
pleia2it is fun living in a city which is a tourist destination and such a tech hub though03:35

doctormopleia2: Glad you had an Ubuntu hour03:43
doctormoThose things do rock03:43
pleia2yeah, it was fun03:43
doctormoToday has been wild, passing on the SETC management to turk, grappling with some fishy stars with paul.03:45

popeyboredandblogging [~boredandb@ubuntu/member/boredandblogging] has quit [Quit: DISGUSTED]14:19
jcastrohah14:24
qensejcastro: I tried to get Banshee SoundMenu support rolling, but while I was doing so it turned out that Bertrand Lorentz was already rocking it, so I didn't have to do much. He even has already got the libindicate registration part, so we now need to wait for the MPRIS extension to stabilise and we're set to package it for Maverick!14:28
qensejcastro: But I think there are already enough people on that. If not, I'll look after it, but I have full confidence I'm redundant.14:29
jcastroqense: no worries, they sorted all that out at UDS14:29
jcastroqense: however ...14:29
qenseyeah?14:30
jcastroqense: you might want to see if lamalex needs help getting the new hw support branch in shape and in maverick14:30
qensehw?14:30
qenseas in hardware?14:30
jcastro(they're porting it to gio/gvfs/gpod/whatever)14:30
jcastrothe music player support14:30
qenseAh, that stuff.14:30
jcastroso it needs to be de-HALed, which is in a branch, and alex is mushing it all together so that UNE can ship with it14:30
qenseOk, I'll see if I can provide some help there.14:31
* jcastro nods14:31
qenseYay! pitti can rejoice, HAL will finally die.14:31
jcastronot really14:31
jcastroKDE still uses it14:31

jcastrohahah14:31
popeyjcastro: am I wrong to think 'lococast, that sounds like it represents locos'14:31
jcastroDOOM14:31
popeymuch like "lugradio" and "ubuntu podcast"14:31
jcastropopey: actually the site doesn't mention ubuntu really14:32
qensejcastro: That sounds quite horrible. :P14:32
jcastropopey: it's very much beta14:32
jcastrowhen they introduced themselves they were like "we're from the ubuntu loco"14:32
popeydoes the show?14:32
jcastroand I was like "dude, you guys need to say which one"14:32
popeyyeah :)14:32
jcastroheh ok I'll pass that along14:32

jcastrowell you can say something about it on the page14:34
popeynah, I'll just whinge at you in here :)14:34

popeygood!14:37
popeydont want them stealing our audience :)14:37
doctormowhat audience?14:37
popey1090131 downloads so far of uupc14:38
popey^ that one14:38
nigelbpopey: we'll never abandon UUPC :)14:39
nigelbpopey: sad to see the response sil got on identi.ca :/15:06
popeymeh15:06
popeywhich means "I agree" but I refuse to consume any more brain cycles with it15:07
nigelbI like identi.ca but sadly not everyone there are friendly :(15:07
popeysorry if that came across badly15:07
nigelbnah, I understand exactly what you mean15:07
nigelbI've been hit with some nasty stuff too15:07
nigelblot of ubuntu hate for being good, for being popular, for everything :/15:08
akgranernigelb, haters make you famous :-)  (or so my daughter tells me all the time)15:10
nigelbakgraner: hehe, yeah15:10
paultaghell yeah akgraner :)15:10
nigelbI've come across at least 3 people talking about ubuntu when I least expected them too15:10
paultaghaters gana hate, as the youth of today say15:10
czajkowskipaultag: you are the youth!15:11

paultagnigelb: just say you do Debian work, that will shut them up.15:12
dholbachczajkowski: haha15:12
nigelbpaultag: no, they were good comments15:12
nigelbpaultag: the hating come from fedora folks mostly for me15:12
paultagnigelb: I have had so many people act all know-all to me "Oh I use Debian" and wait for me to be impressed. I ask them what WM they use, and they always always use fluxbox. Douches use flux. So I tell them that I maintain it in Debian and they shut up.15:13
nigelb(since they follow me and I spam them)15:13
paultagnigelb: meh :P15:13
nigelbpaultag: haha, that is an awesome retort!15:13
* nigelb has never used fluxbox though15:13
paultagnigelb: it's happened like 3 or 4 times15:13
paultagnigelb: Oh but *I* use Debian, not Ubuntu, because *I* like configuring things myself15:14
nigelbpaultag: I usually point out rhythmbox changelog from synaptic when people try to act smart about know-it-all linux15:14
paultaghaha15:14

qensehave fun!19:24
popeyjcastro: i dont know really19:32
popeyjcastro: dunno which community he means19:32
qenseArgh.20:10
qenseYou know the people that complain on OMG! Ubuntu and on the mailing lists that we are all stupid and too Mac like, or too little like Mac, or not free, or stupid and that there are divides and rows everywhere? Apparently that kind of people make up half the Ubuntu NL community.20:11
qenseArgh.20:11
qenseWhy does everything have to end in a row?20:11
qenseand everytime a row happens on the forums someone comes along and says: "See! The team is bursting apart! Everything is going wrong!"20:12
qenseOur whole Community Council has quit at once because they couldn't take it any longer.20:14
* vish scratches head o.020:14
paultagThat violates the LCoC, I don't think they would just quit20:15
paultagwhen was that qense20:15
* pleia2 hugs vish 20:15
pleia2err20:15
* pleia2 hugs qense!20:15
qenseI mean, it's not like the LoCo is full of bad people, it's just that the bad people are so vocal.20:15
pleia2but sure, vish too! :)20:15
vishpleia2: :(20:15
vishpleia2: yay! :)20:15
qensepleia2: Thank you for your consolation.20:15

qenseyesterday evening20:15
paultagqense: the community council quit today?20:15

paultagpleia2: what is this?20:15
qensethe Ubuntu NL Comunity Council.20:16
paultagqense: Oh, ahha20:16
qense:P20:16
paultagqense: what's going on in the interm?20:16
vishqense: they quit over the OMG comments?20:16
qensevish: No, because of the behaviour of the same kind of people that also makes those stupid comments.20:17
paultagqense: what's going on in the interm?20:17
qenseNot OMG!Ubuntu, most of the Ubuntu NL community probably doesn't know it.20:17
vishah , ok20:17
qensepaultag: We probably will have no Community Council now.20:17
paultagqense: is there a loco issue?20:17
vishqense to the rescue! i vote qense as new leader :D20:18
paultagqense: leadership, that is20:18
qensevish: That would end in a horrible revolt.20:18
vishhehe20:18
qensepaultag: We had a leader, but he quit because people were suspicious of him (afraid he would abuse his power, some said he was already doing it) and now we have none.20:18
paultagqense: could you please email the loco council, it's starting to sound like we have to step in...20:19
qensepaultag: I'm working with someone else who was involved quite early to open up the team and reorganise everything a bit to get some things out of the forum (forums are really bad for proper discussions, it seems) and make the line between Ubuntu NL Team members and community members thinner.20:19
qenseAt the moment there are team people who discuss everything behind closed doors.20:20
qenseAll our discussion happens in private forums.20:20
qenseAnd there is the community, which can only complain.20:20
paultagqense: OK. I'm still worried -- could you please CC the council on emails that start to resolve this? loco-council@lists.ubuntu.com <-- I'm just looking out for you guys. We're here to help.20:20
qenseEvery once in a while someone from the team quits because (s)he can't stand the whining and verbal abuse anymore.20:20
paultagqense: might want to enforce the CoC on members.20:21
qensepaultag: That would be outrageous! Abuse of power! Censorship!20:21
qensepaultag: I'll mail the mailing list an overview of the situation and keep you up to date.20:21
vishqense: why are the members abusing the leaders? for decisions made in the OS or for Loco decisions?20:21
paultagthanks qense, you rock20:21
qensepaultag: thanks :)20:21
qensevish: Because of a lack of trust and because they think they know better.20:22
vish:s20:22
qensenothing technical, the whole communtiy is virtually unaware of everything that happens in the international community20:22
qenseWhich is what I was supposed to fix.20:22
qensebut first we need to get the team workable again20:22
qenseOne of the moderators/team members quit because of a fuss started by the moderator posting a thread in the Offered part of the forum offering windows software.20:23
qenseI mean, what are we talking about here? :S20:23
qenseActually, we've had two leaders, but the second team leader quit quickly as well.20:24
* paultag pluggs ears20:27
paultagnot something I want to hear!20:27
paultag</320:28
czajkowskiqense: if you need help, just ask us20:30
qenseczajkowski: I'm writing a summary for the council right now to get you up to date.20:30
qenseWe're working in the LoCo on resolving the issues, but I fear the lack of faith in very active and contributive team members by the community will be a huge problem.20:31
paultagczajkowski: I sent backlogs to the ML, btw20:31
paultagczajkowski: just fyi :)20:32
czajkowskiqense: grand job just poke me when mailed and I'll moderate the mail20:35
