| nhaines | Well once again the LoCo Council is trying to force a mandate on all LoCos that obviously wasn't planned, isn't organized, doesn't fix the problem they're proposing to solve, grants exceptions to a single team, and are trying to limit discussion. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| nhaines | I'm glad they have no sense of branding or local autonomy. It'd be a shame if they were helpful. | 00:02 |
| atikus | sounds loco to me | 00:11 |
| * atikus rimshot | 00:11 | |
| nhaines | heh | 00:11 |
| * pleia2 sighs | 00:12 | |
| pleia2 | I don't even think they ever finished the last renaming effort from a few years ago | 00:12 |
| pleia2 | this is terribly frustrating | 00:12 |
| nhaines | They didn't. | 00:13 |
| nhaines | If they want to fix the LoCo Directory, then they should do that. Tampering with Launchpad usernames and descriptions is insane. | 00:13 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 00:14 |
| pleia2 | well, their email said they were open to discussion so we'll see :) I replied | 00:14 |
| nhaines | I'd believe them more if they didn't get angry at anyone who brought up concerns. | 00:15 |
| nhaines | I'll reply too but it'll have to be later tonight. Which is probably for the best anyway. | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | probably :) | 00:15 |
| nhaines | Bonus points for telling language-based teams they're not "true" LoCos. | 00:19 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that made me wince quite a bit | 00:19 |
| pleia2 | the session at UDS got totally derailed talking about france | 00:20 |
| pleia2 | well, "the french team" | 00:20 |
| pleia2 | which has hosted the largest release parties in the world, but apparently isn't a "true" loco | 00:20 |
| pleia2 | I had hoped that discussion would lead them to not do this renaming thing because the french team is hardly a strange exception, but I guess not :( | 00:21 |
| nhaines | I like how the second objection ("Ubuntu UK" would need to be renamed "ubuntu-gb") was met with 'Oh, well, *obviously* not Ubuntu UK. This doesn't apply to them.' | 00:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I mentioned in my mail that they aren't the only ones to have branded themselves | 00:23 |
| pleia2 | they really just need to fix the loco directory, reading through a list of names, even organized names, isn't always easy on the human brain | 00:24 |
| nhaines | They've been trying to destroy LoCo teams' branding for a couple of years now. They only managed to screw with Ubuntu California's branding as an attack of opportunity. | 00:24 |
| erichammond | Where can I see an archive of the discussion you are discussing? | 00:25 |
| pleia2 | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-June/thread.html#5445 | 00:25 |
| pleia2 | "[RFC] LEP#1, Standardize the LoCo Team Display Names " | 00:25 |
| nhaines | The last time they tried to implement the "rule", they backpedalled so fast I thought the chain would fall off. | 00:25 |
| erichammond | pleia2: thanks. | 00:25 |
| pleia2 | anyone heading out to ohio for OLF this year? they're looking for ubucon speakers | 04:49 |
| seidos | unfortunately i won't be, which is a shame because i've never been to Ohio | 04:52 |
| nhaines | I wish I were! | 05:02 |
| pleia2 | me too | 05:08 |
| * seidos wishes he were drinking a soda | 05:12 | |
| * seidos gets a soda from the fridge | 05:12 | |
| seidos | \o/ | 05:12 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 05:13 |
| seidos | lol | 05:13 |
| MarkDude | Anyone want Google +1 invite? | 09:19 |
| pleia2 | they sure opened the flood gates with invites this time | 09:20 |
| MarkDude | lol | 09:21 |
| MarkDude | I like the circles thing | 09:22 |
| MarkDude | It appears they | 09:22 |
| pleia2 | I think the whole thing is awful :) | 09:22 |
| MarkDude | have done the circles thing decently | 09:22 |
| MarkDude | Well - I think at the least- it will make FB make better privcy controls | 09:23 |
| ariley | Good Morning I'm new to this room but definitely not so new to Ubuntu. | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | welcome ariley :) | 17:45 |
| ariley | Thank you pleia2 | 17:45 |
| MarkDude | Welcome ariley | 17:46 |
| MarkDude | :) | 17:46 |
| ariley | Thanks everyone | 17:46 |
| ariley | I was wondering if anyone here has been using skype on ubuntu 11.04 | 17:48 |
| ariley | Some of my coworkers have been having issues using skype on ubuntu. (ie skype crashing mid call) | 17:52 |
| pleia2 | it's certainly quite popular among ubuntu folks but I haven't used skype (or any other video/voice calling service) in ages | 17:52 |
| ariley | thanks pleia2 | 17:54 |
| pleia2 | btw, added our team banners to our flyers repository https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-california/+junk/flyers | 19:24 |
| pleia2 | banner files are the ones jdeslip used to make the banner we used at scale and stuff | 19:25 |
| seidos | buh | 20:11 |
