daxyeah, I've been spying on Planet KDE. The Plasma Active stuff looks fun.00:00
pleia2dax: it's deeper than polish a derivitive can add, it's more about debian's committment to freeness that makes it a bit tricky for normal people (installing a lot of stuff is really a pain, now we even have a whole separate package for nonfree drivers that were "free enough" in previous releases)00:01
pleia2I respect their decision to go that way and the reasons behind it, I just think it makes for a poor desktop user experience00:02
pleia2on the bright side, at least it warns me and tells me to install the non-free drivers package before I reboot my server and lose my NIC :)00:02
daxpleia2: ah, you mean those things. I was thinking more "desktop OS" as in the desktop environment once you set everything up00:02
daxDebian's KDE stuff isn't as polished as Ubuntu's, independently of Ubuntu's underlying driver etc. stack.00:03
pleia2ok, starting to wander toward BALUG since I have a bunch of errands to do along the way00:11
* pleia2 packs debian stickers too00:12

DarkwingYou guys are go big or go home eh?18:40
DarkwingI'd come up if I wasn't as far south as you can get in the US LOL18:40
bkerensaDarkwing: Yeah I kind of figured Canonical was not going to allow you to use their Trademark after they poured money into the brand18:40
bkerensa:D18:40
DonkeyHoteiDarkwing: Hawai'i?18:41
bkerensaDarkwing: this is why I am Pro "Ubuntu Foundation" Model much like Wordpress.org and Automaticc are split18:41

DonkeyHoteisan ysidro, then18:42
bkerensaDarkwing: Did they make the trademark issue official yet?18:42
DarkwingIt's being talked about by Canonical and Blue Systems.18:43
DarkwingBlue Systems being our new sponser. There are also a couple of companies that was to offer support contracts that cannot just yet.18:43
DarkwingBecause of the TM restrictions with support contracts on a corperate level.18:43
bkerensaYeah18:44
DarkwingBut, so far, we have two full time paid developers (Both quit Canonical to work for Blue Systems) we will have a travel budget for travel to things like UDS (If canonical doesn't sponsor) and other KDE summits and events. We will also have a budget for pressed CDs and swag :D18:45
Darkwingand that's just to strat.18:45
Darkwingstart18:45
DarkwingPlus we have a developer who wants to build MS Exchange support directly into Akonadi and KMail :D18:46
Darkwingas an addon with kdePIM18:47
Darkwingand that would be... epic18:47
DarkwingWe will have some fun announcments RE Kubuntu at UDS.18:48
DarkwingBut so far... nothing in major changes in set in stone so.. yeah18:48

philipballew_bkerensa, Trust me, I have no idea what I am doing with the Ubuntu community stuff...20:57
philipballew_bkerensa, Do I have to go to the ones they tell me to go to cause they paid for me20:58
bkerensaphilipballew: Uhh your supposed to err signup or something for the ones you feel will benefit you in the next cycle20:58
bkerensa:D20:58
bkerensaI think their should be a UDS for Dummies book20:59
bkerensaI need it :D20:59
pleia2bkerensa: typically projects you are part of create blueprints and you subscribe to them that way (not by going to the schedule and selecting stuff unless there is something you missed)20:59
* philipballew_ will follow bkerensa around and hope he knows what he is doing20:59
bkerensapleia2: is their a deadline for when the blueprints turn into actual meetings?20:59
bkerensabecause right now the summit scheduler is still pretty bare21:00
philipballew_I apparently have to go a a "youth in ubuntu community" thing21:00
bkerensa?21:00
pleia2bkerensa: things get added even during UDS itself, so not really21:00
bkerensa:D21:00
bkerensaunconference :P21:00
philipballew_Someone told me their putting on a youth in ubuntu meeting and I need to go21:00
pleia2you grab the track lead and say "hey, I need a session for this please"21:01
pleia2obviously doing it earlier gets you a better chance of finding jono ;) but there is no set deadline21:01
philipballew_So I said okay21:01
bkerensaAll I know so far is I am going to try for all Community tracks and everything Server and Foundations related21:01

philipballew_bkerensa, Do you know when I find out about the hotel and stuff?21:06
bkerensaphilipballew: no idea21:06
bkerensaphilipballew: I think they assume that everyone going to UDS is veterans and has done it time and time again21:06
bkerensa:D21:06
