[17:56] and there are hashtag collisions many times for the really short ones [17:57] greg-g: seems an expression of exasperation [17:57] (which, since microblogs are temporal it isn't much of an issue) [17:57] huh [17:57] probably an alternative to or misspelling of #ugh [17:57] interesting [18:01] mhall119: how about just saying "please use #globaljam (or #ugj) for jam-related posts" ? I mean, I don't really care, honestly [18:01] greg-g: we'll say that, yes, but I need to know what to use for the microblog and photo feeds on loco.ubuntu.com [18:03] ah [18:03] can you do both? [18:03] no [18:03] not currently [18:04] * greg-g nods [18:04] greg-g: the other suggestion is to just use #ubuntu for those feeds [18:09] mhall119: I was thinking that, might be the most simple [18:10] so we disrecommend #ugj and #globaljam, then since we can't look for more than one [18:10] greg-g: ok, that's 2 votes in favor of #ubuntu, good enough for me [18:10] :) [18:14] greg-g: czajkowski: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1443/detail/ [18:14] you guys (LC) can now use markdown and straight HTML in the global event descriptions [18:15] woot [18:15] we also have a dashboard page just for the global jam: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/globaljam/ [18:17] /4/11 === daker_ is now known as daker === daker is now known as daker_ === fenris_ is now known as Guest28407 === Guest28407 is now known as ejat [22:50] Interesting, just checked out the globaljam dashboard and apparently there is now a Ubuntu Streetkids Theatre - http://www.ubuntutheatre.org/EN/mission.htm (saw some weird pictures in the flickr stream for Ubuntu) [22:59] head_victim interesting [22:59] head_victim: Yeah Ubuntu is being used quite a bit outside the realm of FOSS lately [22:59] I know there's an Ubuntu restaurant somewhere in California too [22:59] there is a restaurant called Ubuntu in San Francisco [22:59] :D [22:59] ha [22:59] and Ubuntu Cola [22:59] and many other Ubuntu things [22:59] :D [22:59] oh, I thought Ubuntu cola was made for the software [22:59] nope [22:59] :D [22:59] private company :D [23:00] Canonical doesnt enforce their trademark very effectively [23:01] bkerensa: you do like the one word per sentence don't you [23:01] thought there was life going on in here till I realised it was you one per lining :) [23:02] Most sorry about my IRC habits unfortunately I was unable to curb the habit a decade ago [23:02] :) [23:02] :/ [23:02] I also enjoy smileys [23:08] bkerensa: it's not in San Francisco, it's all the way up in Napa [23:10] and you can't actually enforce dictionary word trademarks broadly outside your industry [23:11] (apple music label and apple itunes, problem; ubuntu operating system and ubuntu cola, no problem) [23:20] pleia2: I see [23:20] I thought trademark powers were much broader... I guess thats a good thing [23:20] Hmm... Napa [23:21] bkerensa: trademark only applies when there is the possibility of consumers buying one product thinking it is the other [23:21] since nobody is buying food from Canonical, or buying OS support from a restaurant, there's no problem [23:23] How does Google enforce their trademarks against typo domains then? Unless the site using a typo domain is a search engine or engaged in offering similar services? [23:25] bkerensa: probably the domains are registered and hosted in a country with less that effective trademark enforcement policies
