[02:15] Anyone have an idea of an alternative for people to map their location, as of our LoCo? [02:52] Takyoji: alternative to...? [02:53] Takyoji: I'm still using 10.04...holding out for Gnome 3 to be in the repos. [02:54] h00k: LP used to have a Google Maps feature, but removed it :( [02:54] :o oh, they did! [03:45] tonyyarusso: a replacement for the map feature on Launchpad [03:52] * Obsidian1723 is waiting for a fork of gnome2 [03:52] I'm not a fan of gnome3 or unity at all. [03:53] unity, gnome3, and even Windows 8 Metro UIs, all alienate users. [03:53] So yea, I'm writing a poll about that, for the mailing list. :P [03:54] I love gnome2's minimalistic-yet-very-customizable approache. XFCE is close, but close enough. It lacks. [03:55] Unless someone forks gnome2, I'll probably just go to the command line or XFCE. [03:57] I have the questions "current distro", "distro you'd suggest to others", and so on. Should I have it single choice or multiple choices? [04:06] are there any distros where GNOME 3 is pretty much choiceless? :P [04:25] What do you mean by choiceless? [04:25] as in it being the default desktop environment, I guess [04:29] Fedora [04:30] Also, should I have it multiple choice or not for questions of "current desktop OS", "desktop OS you'd suggest to others", etc? [04:30] Whereas, they can choose more than one option at once or not [04:50] tonyyarusso: Look good? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dHV5N19XOGFDbFozNkhiUWVhNy1IV0E6MQ [05:00] Takyoji: um, Unix is not Linux. [05:00] I know that [05:00] So "none of the above", or? :P [05:01] yeah [05:01] Or "nothing Linux/Unix"? [05:01] sure [05:02] You may also need to explain the "as of a year ago" bit to people more. Like, but a blurb at the top stating your purpose, so they know what's going on. [05:02] Takyoji: I may have responded, but I'm from WI. Don't kill me. [05:02] Also, I'd suggest calling it a "survey" instead of a "poll". [05:05] after I already sent it across the mailing lists with that title. :P [05:09] Quite nifty of Google Doc's realtime nature. [05:13] One of them in favor of of Unity and GNOME 3, another with hatred of GNOME 3 and Unity [05:16] Heh, a likeminded person [05:16] Unity is horrendous on a multi-monitor setup; really annoys me that it still hasn't been addressed [05:17] I have 2 monitors [05:17] That's how all this new stuff is. It works on some developer's machine and they push it out. [05:17] Meanwhile, those of us that actually want to do things with our computers have to endure init scripts that blow up (upstart), machines that don't boot or show no/broken status (plymouth), etc. [05:18] really disappointing to see all those great GNOME 3 panel applet go to waste [05:18] You should see how spiffy I have my setup, I actually have it where there's a panel on the right (like 100 pixels wide or so) on a widescreen display, and use that panel to display rows of realtime graphs of CPU usage, RAM, network usage, SWAP, and so on [05:19] and by concept of Unity (and perhaps GNOME 3), there is no way possible to do that. [05:19] I was also at some point going to write a panel applet that would also show realtime stats of my web servers as well, for the sheer curiosity and sake of monitoring [05:20] but again, those possibilities are thrown out the window [05:22] and currently Linux Mint is the top suggested OS for others (as I would also do myself) [07:16] i still use 11.04
