[21:42] <IdleOne> cyphermox: is  the canonical commercial support is available for xubuntu installations as well, or if it is limited to the base ubuntu only?
[21:44] <cyphermox> well, technically the only thing we do support is Ubuntu, but yeah, since the base is pretty much all the same there should be no issues
[21:44] <cyphermox> as soon as you get to applications though, things will stop being supported, since Xubuntu basically ships none of the same desktop apps as Ubuntu
[21:45] <cyphermox> knome: hey
[21:45] <knome> hay
[21:45] <IdleOne> cyphermox: knome is the xubuntu lead
[21:45] <cyphermox> yes :)
[21:45] <knome> http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services/overview <- is what i'm referring to
[21:45] <IdleOne> can you explain and answer any Q's :)
[21:46] <knome> is it sensible to link to that from the xubuntu website?
[21:46] <cyphermox> knome: I wouldn't say yes straight out
[21:46] <Ankman> heh
[21:46] <cyphermox> knome: can I ask the support people tomorrow and get back to you about it?
[21:46] <knome> cyphermox, sure. :)
[21:47] <knome> i'm not saying we're linking huge amount of traffic, but if we did forward even one serious customer, it would be kind of sad if they said "no"...
[21:47] <IdleOne> cyphermox: maybe would be a good idea to find out about the other flavors also and let all the team leads know.
[21:48] <knome> ubuntu would actually need a flavor-cooperation mailing list
[21:49] <knome> no, not ubuntu-devel, or anything that is used to anything else except sending messages that *definitely* need to reach every flavor
[21:49] <IdleOne> well, yeah. You did bring up an interesting question and yeah it would be sad if a serious commercial customer gets refused because of choice of flavor.
[21:50] <knome> i wouldn't want to tell "they can support the core, but not the DE" either... so it's either yes or no :)
[21:50] <knome> has to be :)
[21:50] <knome> i don't even know where this section on our website dates back to, but i'm sure that's old.
[21:51] <IdleOne> I'm sure cyphermox will get all the info needed.
[21:51] <knome> yeah
[21:51] <knome> generally, what do you think of the flavor-cooperation list idea?
[21:52] <IdleOne> it is a good idea I think, more cooperation is always good.
[21:52] <knome> okay, i will see if we can push it forward :)
[21:56] <knome> cyphermox, i'll be around #xubuntu*, #xubuntu-devel is probably the best :)
[21:57]  * knome will leave this channel now
[21:57] <knome> cheers!
[22:01] <moustafa> cyphermox, ping
[22:04] <cyphermox> moustafa: pong
[22:05] <cyphermox> so, miscommunication
[22:05] <moustafa> cyphermox, Quelqu'un avait une quetion?
[22:05] <cyphermox> basically, knome wants to know whether xubuntu is supported by the Canonical support offerings, considering the base OS is pretty much the same
[22:05] <cyphermox> so my initial answer is I guess the kernel and plumbing are supported, but once you get to the desktop we can't support that
[22:06] <moustafa> cyphermox, That's pretty much it. Ubuntu itself is supported, but not its derivatives.
[22:06] <moustafa> It's essentially a question of 'how sane can we keep the support team' :)
[22:07] <cyphermox> bah
[22:08] <moustafa> cyphermox, right.  Anywho, I'm off for the day
[22:08] <moustafa> Cheers
[22:08] <cyphermox> ciao
[22:09] <cyphermox> ugh, down to 9 users, earlier this year we got to about 21 regulars :/
[22:20] <IdleOne> we can get a few bots in here if you want :P
[22:49] <cyphermox> nah, no need ;)
