[01:35] <Ultimoore> hey guys just wondering who is the media person for the Ubuntu Canada Loco?
[01:42] <Ultimoore> anyone online?
[01:44] <DarwinSurvivor> i'm online
[01:45] <DarwinSurvivor> but I have no idea who the media person is :P
[01:45] <Ultimoore> well I need someone for CBC to talk to.
[01:51] <Ultimoore> say what?!
[02:59] <willwh_> say what?!
[02:59] <willwh_> CBC?
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <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 :)
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <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
[03:06] <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] <Ultimoore> dear god
[03:06] <willwh_> http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/23/ubuntu-crests-new-wave-mobile-computing
[03:07] <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
[03:09] <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] <Ultimoore> hard
[03:09] <willwh_> oh no doubt
[03:09] <Ultimoore> lol
[03:09] <Ultimoore> i will right now
[03:09] <willwh_> what is this IRC you speak of? is it like twitter?
[03:10] <willwh_> :[
[03:10] <Ultimoore> lol
[03:10] <willwh_> Ultimoore:
[03:10] <willwh_> infact
[03:10] <willwh_> it might be best to let them know when the next LoCo meeting is ;)
[03:11] <Ultimoore> true
[03:11] <willwh_> I am a galaxy nexus owner
[03:11] <willwh_> and full time (l)ubuntu user ;]
[03:13] <willwh_> well, that and backtrack ;]
[03:13] <Ultimoore> ok sent the info about the march 13th meeting
[03:14] <willwh_> excellent
[03:14] <Ultimoore> Canonical needs as much help as they can get
[03:16] <Ultimoore> Is there forums that this loco has? I wanna see if thee is anyone in my area.
[03:16] <Ultimoore> there
[03:16] <willwh_> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=395
[03:17] <willwh_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam

[03:19] <willwh_> yes you do clearly :p
[03:19] <willwh_> hahaha
[03:19] <Ultimoore> lol
[03:23] <willwh_> Ultimoore: what you playing?

[03:41] <Ultimoore> I know what you mean its hard to make time for games, I'm in the military and they keep me busy enough
[18:34] <willwh_> anyone got a working thunderbird tray add-on for T-bird 10.2?
[21:41] <DarwinSurvivor> willwh_: could you be more specific? Is there one that isn't working or something?
