[08:08] <dholbach> good morning
[17:45] <mhall119> !lococouncil
[17:45] <ubot2> The Loco Council is cprofitt, czajkowski, greg-g, itnet7, SergioMeneses and xdatap1 - they are there to help, just ask! :) You can send them an email at loco-council@lists.ubuntu.com
[17:46] <mhall119> I'd like to suggest changing the hashtag and pictag for the upcoming global jam from #ugj to #globaljam
[17:46] <mhall119> 1) #ugj is being used for something else already, #globaljam isn't
[17:46] <mhall119> 2) #globaljam is relatively short, and can be used in combination with #ubuntu 
[17:46] <mhall119> 3) #globaljam is more descriptive than #ugj
[17:55] <greg-g> mhall119: what is #ugj being used for?
[17:56] <greg-g> and there are hashtag collisions many times for the really short ones
[17:57] <mhall119> greg-g: seems an expression of exasperation
[17:57] <greg-g> (which, since microblogs are temporal it isn't much of an issue)
[17:57] <greg-g> huh
[17:57] <mhall119> probably an alternative to or misspelling of #ugh
[17:57] <greg-g> interesting
[18:01] <greg-g> mhall119: how about just saying "please use #globaljam (or #ugj) for jam-related posts" ? I mean, I don't really care, honestly
[18:01] <mhall119> 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] <greg-g> ah
[18:03] <greg-g> can you do both?
[18:03] <mhall119> no
[18:03] <mhall119> not currently
[18:04]  * greg-g nods
[18:04] <mhall119> greg-g: the other suggestion is to just use #ubuntu for those feeds
[18:09] <greg-g> mhall119: I was thinking that, might be the most simple
[18:10] <greg-g> so we disrecommend #ugj and #globaljam, then since we can't look for more than one
[18:10] <mhall119> greg-g: ok, that's 2 votes in favor of #ubuntu, good enough for me
[18:10] <greg-g> :)
[18:14] <mhall119> greg-g: czajkowski: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1443/detail/
[18:14] <mhall119> you guys (LC) can now use markdown and straight HTML in the global event descriptions
[18:15] <greg-g> woot
[18:15] <mhall119> we also have a dashboard page just for the global jam:  http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/globaljam/
[18:17] <cjohnston> /4/11
[22:50] <head_victim> 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] <mhall119>  head_victim interesting
[22:59] <bkerensa> head_victim: Yeah Ubuntu is being used quite a bit outside the realm of FOSS lately
[22:59] <mhall119> I know there's an Ubuntu restaurant somewhere in California too
[22:59] <bkerensa> there is a restaurant called Ubuntu in San Francisco
[22:59] <bkerensa> :D
[22:59] <mhall119> ha
[22:59] <bkerensa> and Ubuntu Cola
[22:59] <bkerensa> and many other Ubuntu things
[22:59] <bkerensa> :D
[22:59] <mhall119> oh, I thought Ubuntu cola was made for the software
[22:59] <bkerensa> nope
[22:59] <bkerensa> :D
[22:59] <bkerensa> private company :D
[23:00] <bkerensa> Canonical doesnt enforce their trademark very effectively
[23:01] <czajkowski> bkerensa: you do like the one word per sentence don't you
[23:01] <czajkowski> thought there was life going on in here till I realised it was you one per lining :) 
[23:02] <bkerensa> Most sorry about my IRC habits unfortunately I was unable to curb the habit a decade ago
[23:02] <bkerensa> :)
[23:02] <czajkowski> :/
[23:02] <bkerensa> I also enjoy smileys 
[23:08] <pleia2> bkerensa: it's not in San Francisco, it's all the way up in Napa
[23:10] <pleia2> and you can't actually enforce dictionary word trademarks broadly outside your industry
[23:11] <pleia2> (apple music label and apple itunes, problem; ubuntu operating system and ubuntu cola, no problem)
[23:20] <bkerensa> pleia2: I see
[23:20] <bkerensa> I thought trademark powers were much broader... I guess thats a good thing
[23:20] <bkerensa> Hmm... Napa
[23:21] <mhall119> bkerensa: trademark only applies when there is the possibility of consumers buying one product thinking it is the other
[23:21] <mhall119> since nobody is buying food from Canonical, or buying OS support from a restaurant, there's no problem
[23:23] <bkerensa> 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] <mhall119> bkerensa: probably the domains are registered and hosted in a country with less that effective trademark enforcement policies
