[01:15] weekend! === Cheesehead is now known as Cheesehead_away === Cheesehead is now known as Cheesehead_away [22:05] I think I have had enough of the ubuntu-users mailing list i think it is time to ditch my sub to it === Cheesehead_away is now known as Cheesehead [22:17] lostson: Really? [22:17] What's in it? I never tried it. [22:18] * Cheesehead looks up the ubuntu-users mailing list [22:19] Aieeeeeeeee! What a train wreck! [22:19] Yeah, just looking at the subject headers for September, I don't want any part of that. [22:20] Thanks, lostson, for keeping me away from there. [22:23] its moslty about 4 people whining and crying saying that everything above 10.04 is useless and you shouldnt use unity [22:23] its just pure crap [22:25] Well, they have a valid point. I liked Linux a lot better back in the old days when I had to compile everything uphill both ways in the snow every day. [22:25] ...which, of course, explains why I use Ubuntu. [22:25] well gentoo is of course still available [22:26] Haters gonna hate. And I'm gonna laugh at them quietly in my corner over here. [22:26] im all for differences of opinion but that list is out of control and no one is taking care of it or moderating it all [22:27] i brought this to jono's attention the other day on G+ but he was more interested in his birthday wish list on amazon than he was responding to anything [22:29] i like ubuntu and enjoy unity alot but more and more i am tempted to switch to something else when dealing with the community surrounding ubuntu well except for y'all of course y'all are great [22:35] The I'm-gonna-broadcast-every-random-thought people do cause a bit of noise! [22:35] Looking over that mialing list, it does seem out of control. [22:35] * Cheesehead unfumbles his fingers [22:36] yeah its not pretty [22:40] Brainstorm was the same way for a long time. I'm pleased that I help bring it back under control [22:41] Now it's doing it's original purpose again. [22:42] Who is supposed to moderate that mailing list? [22:42] no idea would have to look it up [22:44] Perhaps they need a leader to step up, take the reins, and steer that runaway back from the cliff [22:47] if you dig deep enough you will see this has been brought up a few times and there is never any response [22:47] the fedora list got this way then they stepped in and cleaned it up [23:05] lostson: Aha. [23:06] ubuntu-users list run by mako at ubuntu.com, brian.murray at ubuntu.com, alan at popey.com, lyz at ubuntu.com, mike.basinger at gmail.com [23:06] Why not ping them on the topic? [23:06] Offer your services as a moderator? [23:07] i wonder why none of them do any moderating [23:07] Well, I see a lot of them flitting about between many projects, so I suspect time may be and issue [23:07] ahh [23:07] Old project, slippeded past, perhaps? [23:08] I doubt you'll get any of them interested in spending more time moderating - on the planet, they always seem interested in the new [23:08] Disclaimer: I have never met them, and so am probablyt quite wrong [23:08] yeah but you never know [23:08] ding dong my pizza is here bbl
