ScottLdoctormon, i have a spec for the ubuntu studio artwork stuff that shnatsel talked about00:03
ScottLdoctormon, why are you going to england?  are you originally from the UK?00:04
popeyhe owns a bowler hat, he must be00:17
PiciYeah, the tea and hat are rather good indications00:20
akgranerScottL, if you write about Studio and it hits the planet we usually include it - or you can blog and just drop us the link if you prefer00:31
akgranerScottL, do you all have weekly Studio meetings?  If so can you drop us the link  -- we are including a section with the official flavors meetings now00:33
ScottLakgraner, we try to have weekly meeting with limited success, but i can start shooting you links though :)00:55

mhall119dpm: ping19:49
dpmhey mhall119, I'm about to go, but if I can help, just let me know and I'll try to come back to you tomorrow or later on19:59
mhall119dpm: I saw wunderlist on the top 10 free downloads20:04
mhall119but it's not in software center for me20:04
mhall119nor even apt-get installable20:04
mhall119was wondering what the story was, it is only in 11.04 or 12.04 or something?20:04
mhall119nvm, I'm reading their blog now, and people in the comments are saying it's not available in 11.1020:07
mhall119wow, so an app that's only available in Precise made it to the top 10?20:08
mhall119or maybe it's only for < 11.10....20:09
nigelbwunderlist is a pretty aweomse app I've heard.20:09
dpmmhall119, it's only available in natty and maverick - https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/natty/wunderlist/. The top 10 downloads list was counted across releases20:19
dpmmhall119, the reason why it's not available I think it's because appcelerator is not available in Oneiric yet, but jpugh should be able to give you more details if you're interested20:19
dpmjpugh is zoopster on #ubuntu-app-devel20:20
mhall119yeah, john's in my loco, I know him20:38
