jacen | hello! | 03:43 |
---|---|---|
kevin6888296 | hey jacen | 03:44 |
jacen | I had a quick question about the group | 03:44 |
jacen | I've been using ubuntu for a while on and off and I heard about these groups | 03:44 |
jacen | I havnt read anything about a sacramento group though | 03:44 |
jacen | have I just not looked hard enough or is there not one | 03:45 |
jacen | so yea, anyone know anything on the subject? | 03:46 |
akk | I don't think I've seen anything here about Sacramento. | 03:47 |
akk | Though there's LUGOD, Linux Users Group of Davis, which is very active. | 03:47 |
jacen | Were too cool for davis :P | 03:47 |
jacen | + I hear Miss Nixie Pixel lives in sacramento now *sly smile* | 03:48 |
akk | LUGOD is always having great meeting topics I wish weren't 2.5 hours away. | 03:48 |
jacen | Okay, thanks for the information Mr. akk | 03:49 |
kevin6888296 | jacen: you may have to start it. there really isn't a decent Los Angeles team either, at least not yet | 03:49 |
akk | jacen: Ms, and you're welcome. | 03:49 |
jacen | Oh! I'm sorry >.< | 03:50 |
jacen | and Keven, I will consider it, especially with 11.04 coming | 03:50 |
jacen | I think if I got Nixie pixel to party up for it we could get her to broadcast it and get a bunch of people to come | 03:51 |
* kevin6888296 blinks | 03:52 | |
jacen | nixie pixel is a rather popular gamer/ubuntu geek with a large youtube following | 03:53 |
kevin6888296 | ah | 03:56 |
kevin6888296 | i wonder if i could get a following on youtube if my camera worked | 03:56 |
kevin6888296 | hmmm, it works in bigbluebutton.org | 03:56 |
kevin6888296 | maybe there's a bug in cheese or some dependency thereof | 03:57 |
kevin6888296 | or perhaps i should be using some other program | 03:57 |
kevin6888296 | i have one video on my youtube channel, my first one | 03:57 |
kevin6888296 | kind of...weird | 03:57 |
kevin6888296 | how things work and then suddenly stop | 03:57 |
kevin6888296 | anyway | 03:57 |

MarkDude | http://arrbee.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/what-did-i-miss-here/#comments << akk | 17:20 |
akk | Thanks, MarkDude -- same confusion as I had. | 17:22 |
akk | (I still don't associate "beefy" with hot dogs, so even with the explanation at the end it still seems a bit weird to me.) | 17:23 |
MarkDude | Well apparently Runa has common sense- so I figured the answer was close | 17:23 |
MarkDude | Well it is also associated with bacon in a weird way, I am assuming the Jono type | 17:24 |
MarkDude | http://beefymiracle.org/history.html | 17:24 |
akk | Beef is associated with bacon? | 17:24 |
MarkDude | The 1st answer is better then the official history | 17:24 |
MarkDude | the last few releases bacon has been put forth as a name | 17:25 |
MarkDude | the reason it is rejected is due to the existence of Jono | 17:25 |
MarkDude | RH legal WONT allow bacon as a name- even tho it has been put forth for a few years | 17:26 |
MarkDude | Its bit much now, FEdora planet is covered with beefy Miracle references | 17:26 |
MarkDude | well at least Ubuntu and Fedora can drop any air of superiority with the naming thing- Oneric and beefy- similar silliness - IMHO | 17:28 |
* MarkDude just figured you would enjoy Runa's question | 17:28 | |
akk | Definitely, thanks. | 17:29 |
akk | It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who finds it baffling. | 17:29 |
akk | (Though I do totally get the desire to come up with a wonky silly codename -- that part isn't baffling.) | 17:29 |
MarkDude | Well I am glad they shot down my name suggestion codpiece :) | 17:36 |
akk | uh, yeah :) | 17:36 |
MarkDude | Common sense prevailed there at least | 17:36 |
akk | (or, worse, using that as the logo for BM) | 17:36 |
MarkDude | The goal was to come up with the worst name possible | 17:36 |
MarkDude | rofl | 17:36 |
akk | and btw, about the fact that the codename abbreviates to BM ... | 17:36 |
MarkDude | Yep | 17:36 |
MarkDude | BM jokes abound | 17:37 |
akk | I had a feeling I wasn't the first to discover that. :) | 17:37 |
MarkDude | I think RH legal wanted to object for that reason- realized they would look foolish- so they blinked 1st | 17:37 |
akk | Well, there's always the corporate tie-in. You know, | 17:37 |
akk | IBM, UBM, we all BM for IBM | 17:38 |
* MarkDude is stealing that akk | 17:38 | |
akk | I stole it from an old book, "The Adolescence of P-1" | 17:38 |
* MarkDude also installed the Beefy Miracle remix - now my grub list has Ubuntu, Fedora, Puppy and Beefy Miracle | 17:39 | |
akk | I wanted to name my latest talk (on patents) "IP, UP, we all P for IP" but decided it wouldn't fly. | 17:39 |
MarkDude | Well did you hear the name akgraner and rbergeron picked for their talk? | 17:40 |
akk | no | 17:40 |
MarkDude | They received a bit of consternation | 17:40 |
MarkDude | Two girls - one talk | 17:40 |
akk | oh, yeah, I did hear that | 17:40 |
akk | and some of the criticism of it | 17:40 |
* MarkDude has luckily avoided seeing the video that references | 17:41 | |
MarkDude | It was changed for some material- not ALL of it tho | 17:41 |
MarkDude | Robyn is big on shock value | 17:41 |
MarkDude | akgraner, just has a funny sense of humor | 17:42 |
jdeslip | Good afternoon everyone | 23:14 |
