| scott_ev | Dell cuddles Canonical for big Ubuntu fluffer love | 01:12 |
| scott_ev | that title really really needs to be changed......do you know what a fluffer is? | 01:13 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: scott_ev has a really good point there. is there any way to change the title slightly? | 01:23 |
| akgraner | we don't change the titles we report them as they are listed | 01:23 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 01:23 |
| akgraner | brb | 01:24 |
| Pendulum | and I assume there are no other articles talking about the same thing? | 01:24 |
| akgraner | I can't see what anyone is typing | 01:24 |
| Pendulum | scott_ev: have you read the article? | 01:24 |
| akgraner | and there are other uses for the word fluffer as well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluffing | 01:28 |
| scott_ev | no, I haven't read the article but a fluffer in the porn industry is the person that gets the man ready for his scene | 01:28 |
| scott_ev | aweful | 01:28 |
| scott_ev | akgraner: I see that my section isn't done....I can do it real quick if you want me to knock it out | 01:29 |
| akgraner | it's done | 01:32 |
| scott_ev | ok, I'm so sorry I didn't get it done earlier in the week before I quit my meds. the withdrawls will be over before next week's release | 01:32 |
| akgraner | again no worries - I just hope you feel better :-) | 01:34 |
| akgraner | I'm just fixing the camelcases right now | 01:34 |
| scott_ev | I just noticed that there are only 2 brainstorms this week...bummer | 01:37 |
| akgraner | yep Can't add what isn't there | 01:43 |
| scott_ev | agreed | 01:44 |
| akgraner | The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: | 02:13 |
| akgraner | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue201 | 02:13 |
| akgraner | I shortened the title I figured it's easier to get chewed on for changing the title rather than not changing it - sigh | 02:14 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 02:21 |
| akgraner | hey all - highvoltage, internalkernel, holstein, nigelb, Pendulum and others work can begin on 202 - http://www.ietherpad.com/UWN and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue202 also THANK YOU very much for all your work on Issue 201! - Great Job! | 03:06 |
| internalkernel | thanks! | 03:07 |
| nigelb | didn't work on this fine, but I will work on next one :) | 03:08 |
| akgraner | also the gdoc has been cleared out and can be used as well :-) https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en | 03:09 |
| akgraner | Have a great evening - need to get some rest before developer week starts tomorrow :-) | 03:10 |
| MTeck-ricer | akgraner: favorite issue yet - (except for the couple where i was mentioned :P) | 03:13 |
| akgraner | :-P | 03:15 |
| === MTeck-ricer is now known as MTecknology | ||
| nigelb | MTecknology: whats with the new nick? ;) | 05:26 |
| nigelb | I agree with you - I community is what unites us all :) | 05:26 |
| MTecknology | nigelb: I've had that a while - I wear it sometimes when I start tweaking my kernel | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | or when I'm ricing some other part of my buntu system | 05:28 |
| MTecknology | maco: hey there babe | 05:40 |
| * maco blinks | 05:40 | |
| maco | no. | 05:40 |
| MTecknology | :P | 05:40 |
| * nigelb blinks twice | 05:40 | |
| MTecknology | maco: haven't talked to you in a while, how've you been? | 05:40 |
| maco | was doing fairly well after just hanging out with some friends. am now being a sourpuss | 05:42 |
| maco | thanks. | 05:42 |
| MTecknology | :( | 05:42 |
| MTecknology | I'm sorry.. | 05:42 |
| * MTecknology feels like an a-hole now | 05:42 | |
| Pendulum | MTecknology: it's not really appropriate to adress anyone as "hey there babe" unless you're in a rather close personal relationship with them | 05:43 |
| Pendulum | and is especially inappropriate in an Ubuntu channel, IMO | 05:43 |
| MTecknology | Pendulum: It's actually kinda common place around here | 05:44 |
| Pendulum | doesn't make it appropriate | 05:44 |
| nigelb | *NOT* appropriate even if you're in a relationship IMHO | 05:44 |
| Pendulum | and I really haven't seen that happen in many Ubuntu channels | 05:44 |
| MTecknology | anyway.. | 05:44 |
| Pendulum | nigelb: well, I'm thinking that if my partner said it, I wouldn't be offended | 05:44 |
| * maco agrees with Pendulum | 05:44 | |
| nigelb | Pendulum: yes, but unless everyone knows you're partners, they might go "what the..." | 05:45 |
| maco | nigelb: i think then youd get a PM asking whether you're partners :P | 05:45 |
| Pendulum | nigelb: fair enough :-) I don't generally date people who'd say such things on IRC anyway | 05:45 |
| Pendulum | (at least in public) | 05:45 |
| nigelb | maco: exactly | 05:45 |
| nigelb | haha | 05:45 |
| maco | ive "dear"d partners in channels before | 05:45 |
| maco | like "yes dear" or "thank you dear" | 05:46 |
| nigelb | thats okay | 05:46 |
| Pendulum | there are channels where I'll accept it a little more liberally, but none of them are Ubuntu channels | 05:46 |
| nigelb | I've deared people who're not partners when buttering them to do something for me :p | 05:46 |
| zkriesse | hahaha | 05:57 |
| pleia2 | for next week: maybe mention the new UW logo? | 06:30 |
| pleia2 | I didn't bother mentioning it since we have so many UW on the news team ;P | 06:31 |
| * maco grumbles about being dragged onto the news team lately | 06:32 | |
| maco | i am officially not on this team! you cant make me! | 06:32 |
| nigelb | maco: haha | 06:42 |

| akgraner | pleia2, yep it's on my todo list :-) | 18:29 |

| akgraner | and I'll just move them as needed | 20:28 |

| pleia2 | johnc4510: hey | 20:46 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I held off on the new logo b/c it wouldn't stand out with all the other news - but was going to include it with a post that includes your interview.. | 20:46 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: ok, I just figured it wouldn't really be "news" anymore after this week, it's already being remixed and updated everywhere | 20:48 |
| pleia2 | just want to make sure it gets in sometime :) | 20:48 |
| nUboon2Age | akgraner: hi i just came back and saw your request. I'm assuming you're talking about for the future? Right now i don't seem to have access to edit that page. | 20:48 |
