faganthanls ebel11:12
ebelfagan: you do stuff with this ubuntu app store thingie, yeah?11:12
faganebel: na im probably doing something with unity doing unit tests and bug fixing11:12
ebelany idea if/when you'll be able to charge for apps on it?11:12
ebeloh i don't mean for the internship, i saw your name on the app review board team list or something11:13
czajkowskiebel: there is one app in there at present you can buy11:13
faganebel: na all the app review board does is release small apps post release11:13
faganebel: the store is canonical itself there is no board or anything there11:14
ebelah ok.11:14
faganid say there is some % that they charge for putting apps in there11:14
ebelCan people sell apps on it? *ahem* Is it available to more than white prodestants? :P11:14
faganebel: you just have to talk to em who is again11:15
faganhmmm11:15
* fagan checks 11:15
faganebel: I cant find who it is but mpt can point you to who it is11:16
faganthey package it up and all for you too11:16
ebelAh it's not urgent, i'm just curious.11:17
czajkowskihmm11:17
czajkowskiwhatcha up to ebel11:17
ebelTwould be cool to get some of the buzz for 'make millions on the iphone/android app store' for ubuntu.11:18
faganI remember hearing that they are cool with you making a little program and charge a dollar for it11:18
faganso they do allow all of those little things too11:18
faganebel: we had a load of sessions about getting that kind of thing going in the UDS11:19
faganIt would be really cool if there was some automated process like the android marketplace or the app store11:20
faganbut its not there yet11:20
czajkowskiso anyone going to the mark talk next week in dublin11:21
tdr112yep11:22
ebelYou'd need an apt repo that people needed to put passwords into (possible with http://username:password@example.com/...)11:22
faganI didnt even have a clue that it was on11:22
tdr112ebel: have we any cd left that i could bring along11:22
ebelthen a serve side system to manage payments & uploads11:22
ebeltdr112: yeah we have ~ 15 left11:22
ebelczajkowski: can't go, work :P11:23
ebel:(11:23
tdr112i could bring them and that stand you left in tog11:23
tdr112maybe11:23
faganebel: well the payments and uploads thing would be handled just like the android store id say where everything is uploaded and if its bad flag it and ban the author11:24
faganthe payment system is ubuntu pay which is up now11:24
faganbut its very bad11:24
czajkowskifagan: how did you miss that.. it's been blogged and mailed to a lot of lists, might be in your interest to go11:24
ebeltdr112: sure. I have another little 'cd holder' from the last one11:24
czajkowskitdr112: can you post my blog post to the IE list please re the event happening11:24
faganczajkowski: yeah I havent been looking the past 2 days11:24
ebelactually i fouind ~ 5 or 10 10.04 cds left :P11:24
czajkowskifagan: this is about a month old11:25
faganczajkowski: or maybe I just forgot11:25
czajkowski*shrugs*11:25
tdr112czajkowski: i will send an email to the list about the event and give a link to your blog11:26
czajkowskitdr112: cheers, can't do it from here11:26
tdr112ebel: i have been putting in a few 10.04 into the box i give to people11:26
tdr112to get rid of them11:26
ebelhehehe11:27
fagantdr112: well 10.04 is kinda the one you should be giving to new users11:27
faganthe normal releases arent really entirely supposed to be suggested as the greatest impression of the desktop11:28
czajkowskiof course they are11:33
popeyLTS for business, non-LTS for everyone else IMO11:35
tdr112czajkowski: email sent11:36
czajkowskiaye11:36
czajkowskitdr112: thanks11:36
czajkowskitdr112: you going ?11:36
tdr112yep11:36
popeyalso ebel we already have the ability to do password protected repos with PPAs in launchpad11:36
faganwell the protocol for normal releases is to build up for the next LTS releases at least thats how ive always seen it11:36
tdr112ebel: can you drop in the rest of the cds and the other stand you have11:36
faganand as well as password protecting them you can hide them but thats internal I think11:36
ebeltdr112: into TOG? sure.11:37
ebelpopey: ah cool. :)11:37
tdr112ebel: yep11:37
czajkowskifagan: LTS for business so they dont have to worry about udpates, regular versions for folks who arent pushed but can stick to a lts if they want.11:37
ebelYou'd need to have a system so that people can't download the deb until they have paid for the app.11:37
popeyyup, thats not hard to do11:37
popeyi have an app on my system which was bought like that11:38
tdr112we can only give people the cds we have so it will be a few 10.4 and a few 10.1011:38
popeythey have a key'ed repository, so only poeple who have bought the app can download it11:38
czajkowskitdr112: do you need more ?11:38
* fagan doesnt have a credit card so couldnt pay for anything in the software center 11:38
czajkowskiI can see if I can get more sent over for the evnet11:38

ebel"The start_time and end_time are the times that were input by the event creator, converted to UTC after assuming that they were in Pacific time (Daylight Savings or Standard, depending on the date of the event), then converted into Unix epoch time."12:45
ebelthat's why I hate when things don't do timezones.12:46
