| s-fox | Hello everyone | 09:33 |
| s-fox | ping jcastro | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | s-fox: wrong timezone anything anyone else can help with ? | 09:34 |
| s-fox | Hello czajkowski , how are you? Yes I know he is in a US timezone. I was hoping he would see the ping and reply later. | 09:34 |
| s-fox | czajkowski, Possibly, do you know the status on the hdds that have been ordered for the ubuntu forums? | 09:35 |
| czajkowski | s-fox: I don't but if you have a RT number I can go and find out for you if you want | 09:36 |
| s-fox | The last update I saw was several weeks ago, where sourcing them was proving to be problematic. | 09:37 |
| s-fox | Unfortunately i do not have the rt number. | 09:37 |
| czajkowski | s-fox: ok | 09:46 |
| czajkowski | s-fox: hopefully he;ll see the ping but I think he's at a conference today | 09:49 |
| s-fox | No worries czajkowski =) | 09:52 |
| czajkowski | so happy tis friday this week has dagged | 09:54 |
| czajkowski | *dragged | 09:54 |
| s-fox | Oh? Long week? It has been rather quick here to be honest. | 09:56 |
| s-fox | Any plans for the weekend czajkowski ? | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | family dinner tonight with my cousins, tomorrow heading off to Galway with my mum, and then Sunday I fly back to London | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | Sunday I move house | 09:57 |
| s-fox | Manic | 09:57 |
| s-fox | I remember last time I moved. It was really stressful | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | am going to do a bit each evening this week and then move in from sunday week | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | then a week in london and then UDS | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | busy :) | 09:58 |
| s-fox | Sounds like a good plan to me. Hope the move goes okay for you. | 10:01 |
| czajkowski | aye shouldnt be too bad tbh | 10:01 |
| czajkowski | hopefully :) | 10:01 |
| s-fox | lol, just realised my iphone is looping the same song. Thought I had heard sally cinammon a few times this morning already. :) | 10:03 |
| czajkowski | have a online radio on when I work no adds and no talking | 10:04 |
| czajkowski | rather handy | 10:04 |
| s-fox | czajkowski, That sounds alright, the guys in my dept listen to radio 2 alot - which i cannot stand. haha | 10:07 |
| czajkowski | s-fox: http://www.defjay.com/player/default.asp?bw=hi&pl=swf or else absolute 80's but that has talking and adds | 10:09 |
| czajkowski | dpm: would you mind having a look at some stage today at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/194154 | 10:10 |
| s-fox | Thanks, i'll take a look. | 10:10 |
| dpm | hi czajkowski, unfortunately, this is not something I can solve. I'd suggest contacting an LP developer | 10:18 |
| czajkowski | dpm: no worries just confused as to the issue as well | 10:18 |
| dpm | czajkowski, np :) | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | the hiding of the address is just confusin | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | working on it now | 10:26 |
| dpm | ok, cool | 10:55 |
| * jussi waves | 11:10 | |
| czajkowski | herrro jussi | 11:10 |
| jussi | good afternoon czajkowski | 11:11 |
| jussi | Did we all notice the nice little quote about ubuntu from Linus? | 13:08 |
| jussi | That kind of senseless user hostility is something that we’ve generally come away from (and some kernel people tend to dismiss Ubuntu, but I really think that Ubuntu has generally had the right approach, and been very user-centric). | 13:08 |
| jussi | http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/19/an-interview-with-millenium-technology-prize-finalist-linus-torvalds/ | 13:08 |
| popey | yeah, seems to have spread on the socials | 13:10 |
| mhall119 | it's like he's famous | 13:18 |

| balloons | ohh sweet! a balloons demo? | 15:01 |
| jono | lol | 15:02 |
| jono | mhall119, you there? | 15:04 |
| cjohnston | jcastro: summit has markup | 15:17 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: \o/ | 15:23 |
| dholbach | alright my friends - it seems I have to run - I have a rock band from Luxembourg I need to eat tasty tasty burgers with | 16:34 |
| dholbach | have a great weekend everyone | 16:34 |
| dholbach | big hugs | 16:34 |
| pangolin | I have an issue with the Big Up Ubuntu add on facebook | 16:37 |
| pangolin | Why does the main add say "steal it" when the terms and conditions clearly state the work must be original | 16:37 |
| pangolin | ? | 16:37 |
| pangolin | this is sensationalism in advertising and I find it disappointing that Canonical would be a party to it. | 16:38 |
| pangolin | Work so hard a making something free for all but then advertise that it is ok to steal. | 16:39 |
| pangolin | if anybody can explain this reasoning I would appreciate it | 16:39 |
| mhall119 | pangolin: link? | 17:02 |
| pangolin | https://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux/app_274602682618810 | 17:03 |
| mhall119 | pangolin: ah, I believe that was meant more in jest than literal | 17:04 |
| mhall119 | like, if you re-purpose a meme for ubuntu, you "stole" it | 17:05 |
| mhall119 | so "Ubuntu ALL OF THE THINGS!", as an example | 17:05 |
| pangolin | mhall119, jokes about theft from a company that is based on open source are not funny | 17:05 |
| dpm | have a nice weekend everyone! | 17:05 |
| pangolin | you too dpm | 17:05 |
| mhall119 | it wasn't a joke about theft, it's slang that maybe doesn't translate well | 17:06 |
| dpm | ;) | 17:06 |
| pangolin | mhall119, I get the slang and I do understand how it was meant to be playful and not to encourage theft. What I am saying is that there are way better methods to entice and get people to participate. | 17:07 |
| pangolin | Guess the whole ac/dc thing got forgotten :) | 17:10 |
| pangolin | most people won't bother to take the time to get permission to use others works and they will post them to Canonical FB page. | 17:10 |
| nlsthzn | this is the nature of the new social media explosion | 17:11 |
| balloons | pangolin, I think whomever wrote that page is using "steal" in a non-literal sense | 17:14 |
| balloons | I myself invert the true meaning of words all the time, and within the context of the audience I'm speaking to they may understand it.. It's best avoided when speaking to a broad audience, as in this case | 17:15 |
| pangolin | Ubuntu is international, used by many non native English speakers, will the sarcasm translate? will they get that is is a joke? | 17:15 |
| pangolin | the wording is poorly chosen. | 17:16 |
| jono | pangolin, it was a joke | 17:24 |
| jono | I don't think people will misinterpret it | 17:24 |
| jono | in terms of an international audience, all jokes can be read in a way in which the humor doesn't work | 17:25 |
| jono | but then we would have pretty dry marketing material, and that would suck | 17:25 |
| pangolin | bikini clad women in advertising is acceptable and common in some countries. | 17:26 |
| jono | pangolin, indeed | 17:27 |
| pangolin | I know I am taking it to an extreme there. | 17:27 |
| jono | and different people have different views | 17:27 |
| jono | as an example, I personally have no issue with bikini clad women in ads, but some people do take offense at that | 17:27 |
| jono | everyone has their own view of what is considered appropriate | 17:27 |
| jono | I think we just need a good balance | 17:28 |
| jono | pangolin, I do agree though that some sarcasm might not translate well | 17:28 |
| pangolin | you honestly believe that "steal it" fell on the good side of the scale? | 17:28 |
| jono | pangolin, I think it was a joke that most people will see as a joke | 17:29 |
| jono | *everything* can be read multiple ways | 17:29 |
| jono | Ubuntu is Linux for Human Beings...that could be interpreted as being patronizing to people | 17:29 |
| pangolin | I'll leave the business side to the business people and continue doing what I can for the community, but I really think the business people should have a read at the philosophy of the community. | 17:30 |
| popey | pangolin: you're overthinking it ☺ | 17:30 |
| jono | pangolin, I think you are reading too much into this | 17:30 |
| pangolin | probably am :) | 17:30 |
| jono | it was a joke...not a reflection on our philosophy | 17:30 |
| popey | i frequently steal jonos jokes | 17:31 |
| jono | lol | 17:31 |
| popey | and bury them in the garden so nobody else has to hear them | 17:31 |
| pangolin | jono says things that are funny? | 17:31 |
| pangolin | hehe | 17:31 |
| popey | yeah, unintentionally | 17:31 |
| jono | which says a lot about popey, that is some slim pickings | 17:31 |
| jono | haha | 17:31 |
| popey | thats the nicest thing you've ever said near me! | 17:31 |
| * jono hugs popey | 17:31 | |
| popey | \o/ | 17:31 |
| jono | :-) | 17:32 |
| * nlsthzn files this all under Random | 17:32 | |
| popey | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing#A12.04_artwork | 17:32 |
| popey | by the way | 17:32 |

| czajkowski | evening | 21:19 |
| jussi | hi there czajkowski | 21:49 |
| czajkowski | jussi: herrro | 21:51 |
| * jussi has just returned to KDE - its nice to be back, but there were some things about Unity I really appreciated :=) | 21:52 | |
| pleia2 | I added some new keybindings to Xfce after using Unity on my laptop for a while ;) | 21:53 |
| jussi | http://wstaw.org/m/2012/04/20/plasma-desktopkm3346.png ;=) | 21:53 |
| pleia2 | well that's just an abomination | 21:54 |
| pleia2 | :) | 21:54 |
| jussi | hehe | 21:54 |
| czajkowski | jussi: see this is nice http://twitter.com/#!/czajkowski/status/193447412881301504/photo/1 | 21:55 |
| jussi | but... but... I like it? | 21:55 |
| jussi | czajkowski: err, what did that have to do with this conversation? (I see a 5 year old bouncng on a trampoline...) | 21:56 |
| czajkowski | jussi: a nice link to look at :/ | 21:56 |
| czajkowski | jussi: not a patch on your pics mind | 21:57 |
| jussi | oh :D | 21:57 |
| czajkowski | little one is looking rather cute | 21:57 |
| jussi | yeah, isnt she. | 21:57 |
| * jussi is a proud daddy | 21:57 | |
| czajkowski | :) | 21:58 |
| jussi | czajkowski: she has been real smiley the last week or so | 21:58 |
| jussi | its nice :) | 21:59 |
| jussi | mind, I think she might be getting a tooth already | 21:59 |
| czajkowski | wow | 21:59 |
| tsimpson | jussi: I agree with czajkowski, your desktop is an abomination :p | 22:04 |
| jussi | tsimpson: well good thing Im the one that needs to use it | 22:05 |
| jussi | it works for me... | 22:05 |
| czajkowski | tsimpson: wasnt me who said it :) | 22:06 |
| czajkowski | I get blamed enough for saying the wrong thing! :) | 22:06 |
| tsimpson | right, it was pleia2 | 22:06 |
| jussi | hehe | 22:06 |
| jussi | PING | 22:06 |
| tsimpson | so it turns out those folks at unity didn't need to write a whole new UI, they could have just switched to KDE? | 22:06 |
| tsimpson | jussi: credit where credit is due :) | 22:07 |
| jussi | tsimpson: pretty much | 22:07 |
| pleia2 | the favorite moment in my 12.04 talk on tuesday was when one guy finishes playing with my system and ends with "that's very nice, but I want the button thing on the bottom" | 22:08 |
| pleia2 | there's always one! | 22:08 |
| czajkowski | :/ | 22:08 |
| jussi | tsimpson: mind I did do this when they first made unity...but they ignored me... ;P https://twitter.com/#!/jussi01/status/68319535840772096 | 22:09 |
| mhall119 | jussi: if I can't switch directly to an app with super+[0-9] then it ain't Unity :P | 22:10 |
| tsimpson | well then there's just no excuse :) | 22:11 |
| mhall119 | If I can't aggregate search results from near and far into the Dash, then it ain't Unity | 22:11 |
| jussi | mhall119: I can do that in krunner already | 22:13 |
| jussi | and its pluginable | 22:13 |
| mhall119 | jussi: is there a plugin for chicken curry recipes? | 22:15 |
| mhall119 | if not, then it ain't Unity ;) | 22:15 |
| jussi | mhall119: meh :P just cause someone hasnt made a plugin yet... :P | 22:15 |
| jussi | mhall119: mind, as you know, I wouldnt mind if someone got the unity 2d dash running as a plasmoid... | 22:19 |
| mhall119 | jussi: it *is* Qt | 22:20 |
| jussi | mhall119: I asked some people about it, but it seems its a rather large undertaking. I do want to talk to arelien about it though. | 22:22 |
| mhall119 | have you asked mhr3? | 22:23 |
| mhall119 | or, greyback might be better, I think he's worked on the -2d dash | 22:23 |
| mhall119 | personally, I'd *love* to see lenses and scopes become a cross-desktop standard | 22:24 |
| jussi | didnt aurelien woek on 2d also? | 22:25 |
| jussi | meh, I should sleep its almost 2am... | 22:27 |
| doctormon | akgraner: Did you say you were going to email me? | 22:51 |
| akgraner | doctormon, I am as soon as I think of something witty to say :-P | 22:52 |
| akgraner | other than make a desktop for me | 22:52 |
| akgraner | I love the images you did for Tara and Jason those are awesome | 22:52 |
| doctormon | Lol, thought it might be a question/request, but a show of wit is always appreciated :-) what kind of desktop? | 22:52 |
| akgraner | request would be a wallpaper for me or me | 22:53 |
| akgraner | for me of me - I meant to say | 22:53 |
| akgraner | doctormon, you call see all my pics on FB :-) so if you could create something from those that would be the most awesome-est thing in the world | 22:54 |
| akgraner | dang it - can't freakin type ever it seems - s/call/can | 22:55 |
| akgraner | doctormon, I'll think of something witty and send you a more formal request :-) but for now I have to run.. talk to you soon! | 22:57 |
