yotuxunity confuses me with natty02:11
yotuxhook:  you have be running remix for netbooks?02:11

yotuxthen you have had some unity exp.02:12
yotuxSorry02:12
h00kYeah, and it's actually default now on the Desktop edition as well02:12

h00kI have the EEE and it's pretty slick02:13
yotuxI have ATI on my Laptop02:13
yotuxATI in natty has some issues,  due to the early Xorg and compiz I believe02:14
h00kYeah, it definitely could be02:14
ubuntuWi-GuestHate unity on netbook, is it different on Natty. Not sure about after 10.1002:14

lostsonwe could setup a capture the flag contest02:27
h00kyotux: yes, it would be good, except I don't think we have gotten enough people/activities02:28
yotuxh00k:  It seems that we are all spread across the state02:28
lostsonwhat is the criteria for "official" loco ?02:28
h00kRelease Party, yes.02:28
h00khttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved02:29
h00klostson: ^ this02:29

h00kIt can be any day02:29
h00keven a month after release, if we want.02:29
lostsoni see02:30
h00kI can set a Release Party up in the Rhinelander area, for sure.02:30
h00kwe had one in Madison, and Superior in the past02:31
h00kI'd help anyone else looking to set one up in their area, but I'm not going to do the whole thing02:31
h00k;) anyone up for one in their area?02:32
yotuxI live near Madison02:33
lostsonim in appleton02:33
h00kNatty's out in April, on the 28th02:33
h00kyotux: Madison has a pretty active LUG, I wonder if they'd be up for doing anything again. I can approach them and see if they're interested02:34
lostsonask ol douglaswah02:34
h00kyessir02:34
h00kand the steering committee02:34
lostsonhmm whatever happened to fluxbuntu02:35

yotux1 is on the fence,  there are media formats that they question02:40
h00kThe one we had in Superior was mostly a social, the one in Madison I presented a 'what's new' and then we ate pizza02:40

timtierneyh00k, I got the image and it booted but wouldn't go to the login screen.02:51
timtierneyh00k, Just a black screen.  I could change virtual terminals and see what the kernel was doing but no luck.02:51
