| Ultimoore | hey guys just wondering who is the media person for the Ubuntu Canada Loco? | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimoore | anyone online? | 01:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | i'm online | 01:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | but I have no idea who the media person is :P | 01:45 |
| Ultimoore | well I need someone for CBC to talk to. | 01:45 |
| Ultimoore | say what?! | 01:51 |
| willwh_ | say what?! | 02:59 |
| willwh_ | CBC? | 02:59 |
| willwh_ | I don't think there is an elected media person | 03:00 |
| willwh_ | the best thing to do would probably be post to the ubuntu-ca mailing list | 03:00 |
| willwh_ | I mean - bobjonkman is likely to know | 03:00 |
| willwh_ | maybe dscassel too | 03:00 |
| willwh_ | neither of whom seem to be around atm | 03:00 |
| willwh_ | Ultimoore: do you know what the nature of the query is? :] | 03:01 |
| willwh_ | maybe someone else can help? | 03:01 |
| Ultimoore | It will be most likely about Ubuntu for Android and Ubuntu TV | 03:01 |
| willwh_ | ah probably | 03:01 |
| willwh_ | they need to contact Canonical specifically for that I would say | 03:01 |
| willwh_ | it's really nothing to do with the LoCo | 03:01 |
| willwh_ | I would say | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | whoever decides to write an article | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | DO HOMEWORK | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | TALK TO US | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | don't do what the Guardian (in the UK did) | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | when they mentioned ubuntu for android | 03:02 |
| Ultimoore | I'm sure they will but remember CBC is about Canadian content so they may ask the Loco some questions | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | the article was absolutely atrocious | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | rgr | 03:02 |
| crond | Should i buy a new laptop so I can do gaming? | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | well - I am from Scotland :) | 03:02 |
| willwh_ | but live in CA now | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | so I don't know all that much about the CBC | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | I understand they are vaguely similar to the BBC | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | crond: I wouldn't | 03:03 |
| crond | willwh_, yes, basically the same thing | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | well - if you are going to - at the very least get an SSD in there | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | 5,200 rpm just doesn't cut it any more | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | :P | 03:03 |
| Ultimoore | i could see them getting news video from BBC | 03:03 |
| willwh_ | Ultimoore: are you in contact with the CBC? | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | work for them per chance? | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | what sparked the questions? | 03:04 |
| crond | bjonkman, wakeup. | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | bah should've /n'd | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | haha | 03:04 |
| crond | lol | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | I didn't see bob - sneaky git changing his nick ;P | 03:04 |
| willwh_ | (I run irssi and don't use the userlist plugin) | 03:05 |
| Ultimoore | i may have emailed them | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | ah | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | well | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | any engagement form a mjor outfit like that is great | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | I'd love more expsure re: linux in mainstrea mmedia | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | as long as they do their homework | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | 'cause let's face it | 03:05 |
| Ultimoore | they never do | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | most journalists are OSX fan boys | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | or old windows users | 03:05 |
| willwh_ | and they write such bullshit | 03:06 |
| Ultimoore | yup | 03:06 |
| willwh_ | i.e. the guardian claimed "ubuntu created linux" | 03:06 |
| willwh_ | rofl ? | 03:06 |
| Ultimoore | lol | 03:06 |
| Ultimoore | really? | 03:06 |
| willwh_ | let me find the article | 03:06 |

| willwh_ | http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/23/ubuntu-crests-new-wave-mobile-computing | 03:06 |
| willwh_ | A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO WRITE | 03:07 |
| willwh_ | (see the editor's note at the bottom) | 03:07 |
| willwh_ | just sheer laziness | 03:07 |
| willwh_ | you should just throw this log @ CBC :) | 03:09 |
| Ultimoore | lol that is retarded | 03:09 |
| willwh_ | ask one of them to come and visit us in IRC :D | 03:09 |
| willwh_ | we don't bite ^_^ | 03:09 |
