Sweet|IRCgive a sec, i need the google translator :p21:48
daker\o/21:49
c7pexpress yourself freely we can probably understand you better than google translator ;)21:49
Sweet|IRC...21:51
Sweet|IRChere a google tranlated :p: I read a little manual, but something about it bothered me ... tells the story of "Linux" and all that is a fact, to work well in certain hardware and things like that.21:51
Sweet|IRCbut, you now about the GNU project and the free software fundation, right?21:52
dakerjenkins, c7p do you where i can find an official news feed of ubuntu ?21:53
c7pyap, I think it was intentionally selected as story of the Linux because it was thought that GNU/Linux will confuse new users21:54
c7pdaker nope :/21:54
Sweet|IRCconfuse?, .... explain me that please!21:55
jenkinsdaker: planet.ubuntu.com ?21:56
dakerjenkins, nop21:56
dakerofficial21:56
vishdaker: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/21:57
vishthats the official one.. ^21:57
dakeryep21:57
Sweet|IRCwhy do you think a user can get confuse about the history of the linux kernel and the GNU project?21:58
dakeri'll show you something vish21:58
c7pSweet|IRC: i mean the term "GNU/Linux", and the that the GNU is the system and Linux the kernel i suppose. I wasn't in favour of the plain "Linux" term on that part, so if you need more info send an email at ML so the editors can respond to you21:58
Sweet|IRC"ML"?....21:59
c7psorry, Mailing List21:59
jenkinsSweet|IRC: We are telling people about linux, which is new to them. Ubuntu is a type of linux, also new to them and gnu is also linux... . It starts to get confusing21:59
vishdaker: ... ?21:59
jenkinsdaker: http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/news-and-events21:59
* vish needs to sleep soon...22:00
c7pSweet|IRC: ubuntu-manual.lists.launchpad.net22:00
Sweet|IRCjenkins: GNU is not Linux (GNUINL?)22:00
Sweet|IRCC7P, thanks!22:00
vishjenkins: thats the canonical one.. , ubuntu uses the fridge for announcements22:00
c7p* manual@lists.launchpad.net22:00
Sweet|IRCdo you read free software, free society?, jenkins.22:01
c7pSweet|IRC: np :)22:01
jenkins Sweet|IRC well three different but related topics can get confusing was basically the why GNU was not mentioned22:01
jenkinsnope22:01
Sweet|IRCokey, i got the spanish version22:01
Sweet|IRCi read it all22:01
Sweet|IRChow i say "conciencia"?22:01
Sweet|IRCgoogle....22:02
Sweet|IRCxD22:02
c7pcommunity ?22:02
Sweet|IRC# conscience22:02
Sweet|IRC:p22:02
Sweet|IRCi got conscience about the term Linux and Gnu/Linux22:02
vishconscious?22:02
Sweet|IRCcommunity is comunidad in spanish22:02
c7pSweet|IRC: ok sry :D22:03
Sweet|IRCjeje22:03
Sweet|IRCso,22:03
Sweet|IRCthe term "Linux" is bad, because the private software makers (aah, bad english) want to "kill" the GNU GPL and the 4 liberties (libertades?)22:04
dutchiefreedoms22:04
Sweet|IRCyeah, the 4 freedoms!22:04
Sweet|IRCdutchie, thanks22:04
dutchieno problem22:04
Sweet|IRCand, thats the reason because i am upset (enojado?) about this ubuntu manual22:05
Sweet|IRCi dont think a little history about the free software fundation makes confuse the user22:05
Sweet|IRCand the explication about the Gnu/Linux term is easy, because Linux is the kernel and Gnu is for the OS distro use some programms of the GNU project. easy huh?22:07
Sweet|IRCif the user want to now about what is a Kernel and the GNU can maybe make a appendice(??)22:07
Sweet|IRC...22:08
Sweet|IRCi need to write to the editors :)22:08
jenkinsthat makes sense to people who know about it but, you have now mention kernel which goes in to more depth than a user needs to know. that my thought anyway22:08
Sweet|IRCtraducing: that my thought anyway22:09
Sweet|IRC...22:09
jenkinsSweet|IRC: please do send an e-mail to the list, the editors will be able to help22:09
Sweet|IRC...22:09
Sweet|IRCokey22:09
Sweet|IRCbut, if you write: the kernel is the part of a OS who makes important thinks like ... and that is. is hard to understood?22:10
Sweet|IRCbut, by the way, thanks to listen....22:11
dakerdutchie, thanks for updating the planet22:13
c7pActually you can say in a paragraph what's the Linux kernel and the Gnu system, and in the end say that the GNU/Linux operating system is used to be said simply Linux. no big deal.22:14
dutchiedaker: no problem22:15
c7pwith an image next to that paragraph showing the kernel and GNU together everything is much easier to understand22:15
c7peg http://www.geekinside.org/drupal/sites/default/files/300px-Linux-kernel.png22:16
Sweet|IRCyeah, good idea, but, i think the term Gnu/Linux debe permanecer (translating this part!....)22:16
Sweet|IRCmust remain22:17
Sweet|IRCi think the term Gnu/Linux must remain, for the sake of the survival of the four freedoms22:18
c7pit should but i think this way the confusion between the terms is prevented22:20
Sweet|IRCthis will be a large day! xD22:21
Sweet|IRCand, ... if this part is include in the book (manual, sorry ;P) will make the salles get down?22:21
c7pthe world talks about linux, in a paragraph, as I said before, that reader can learn that it's Gnu/linux but the term Linux was preserved22:21
c7pit's not the sales :P it's one of the project goals "Keep it simple"22:22
Sweet|IRCyeah, the world talk about linux, because the bigs private software producers (aaah, bad english) want to the people forget the four freedoms22:23
Sweet|IRC...22:23
jenkinsdutchie: I have seen you tweet on native pdf in chromium I have version 6.0.470.0  and there is nothing in the about:plugins page to do with pdfs. The version it was pushed in was  6.0.437.3 . Any suggestions22:23
Sweet|IRCmaybe, making the test we can figure out if a reader will get confused22:23
dutchiei'm using  chrome22:23
dutchiefrom the google deb repo22:24
jenkinso well I will wait until it hit chromium no loss here22:25
c7pwell somebody hear the word gnu i don't think the first thing that comes to his head is the 4 freedoms22:25
Sweet|IRCthinking about the email, if you are telling me this maybe the editor make the same thing xD22:25
Sweet|IRCxD22:25
Sweet|IRCi know, GNU is a africcan animal xp22:25
