DarkwingHey question for the Loco team here... would you guys be interested in demoing a ZaReason UltraBook?00:18
DarkwingAt OLF on saturday?00:19
DarkwingCheri703: ping00:28
Darkwingsnap-l: ping00:28
Cheri703o/00:28
Cheri703I'm not the best person to ask about ZaReason >_> I had a bad experience00:28
DarkwingI'm a ZaReason contact.00:28
Cheri703I was actually considering reaching out to System76, as we've had contact with them in the past with OLF00:29
DarkwingThey want to know if you would be willing to demo the ultrabook at OLF00:29
DarkwingAlso, you guys have many Kubuntu users in the LoCo?00:29
Cheri703actually, we would want to check with OLF folks, as we were given an "org" table, so I don't know if product demos will be kosher with the whole free org table thing00:30
Cheri703I'll email the guy00:30
Darkwingahhh, Okay.00:31
Cheri703if we'd paid for the table, it'd probably be totally fine, but I just sent an email. I don't want to run afoul of them since they were so awesome about it.00:32
DarkwingOf course.00:33
Cheri703I'll let you know when I get an answer00:33
DarkwingSweet. :) I'm always on.00:34
Cheri703k00:34
DarkwingYou know of any Kubuntu users in the loco?00:34
DarkwingI'm always looking for more KDE nuts00:34
Darkwing:)00:34
Cheri703hmm...I know Unit193 uses...something-other-than-vanilla-buntu, I believe L and X though00:35
Unit193Cheri703: Spot on.00:35
Unit193Darkwing: BiosElement.00:35
Cheri703I tried kubuntu a few times, but I kept having major issues with the package thing, kept erroring out and wouldn't let me install or update anything :s happened with multiple iso downloads and attempts, so I said screw it00:36
Cheri703Unit193: I was going to pm you, I haven't seen you around in a while! how are you?00:36
DarkwingOkay sweet.00:36
Unit193Cheri703: I be alive, just hiding in other channels/things.  You doing well I take it ?00:37

snap-lAh, no worries00:39
DarkwingZaReason was just looking to see if you guys wanted to Demo an Ultrabook with Ubuntu00:39
canthus13DavidLevin: You work with/for ZaReason?01:04
DavidLevincanthus13, Canoncial01:05
canthus13Ah.01:05
canthus13Sorry. There have been... issues with ZaReason's CEO lady. :/01:06
canthus13DavidLevin: That was actually meant for Darkwing.01:41
thafreakDarkwing: I was a big kde fan...but they lost me after the big transition03:02
thafreakWhen they went from 1.0 to 2.0, it just didn't run the same...03:02
dzhoDavidLevin: you going to be at OLF?14:40
DavidLevindzho, not planing on it15:13
dzhoDavidLevin: ah, ok.  Do you go to any FOSS/Linux events.15:25
dzho?15:25
DavidLevindzho, many people from Canonical attend these events. I go so some of them, mostly meetups and lugs.15:28

paultagFriday, methinks17:22
DarkwingCheri703: ping17:30
Darkwingpong rather17:30
Cheri703hey, so I heard back from OLF guy17:30
Cheri703" it should be fine if you use the Ultrabook to demo Ubuntu software and don't have commercial materials from ZaReason (things like sales materials)  You should be able to mention that the laptop was provided by Zareason"17:30
Cheri703so...ZERO sales info, just "here's ubuntu! oh and it's a zareason laptop"17:31
DarkwingCheri703: Epic.17:31
DarkwingI'll bring the Ultrabook on Saturday.17:31
Cheri703I will be completely honest with you, I had a HORRIBLE experience with that company, including the CEO badmouthing me to other customers behind my back and lying about me, so...I'm REALLY wary of anything to do with them as a company at all17:32
Cheri703*also badmouthing me to my face17:32
Cheri703also the netbook I got was a POS, so...yep17:32
DarkwingYeah, I understand. I've been working with them in developing KDE plasma (Tablet) and Kubuntu Plasma to release on the new ZaTab.17:37
Cheri703that's awesome, I just have no respect for them as people :)17:37
Cheri703some of their newer products might be good17:37
Cheri703the one I had was crap17:37
Darkwing:D I have not worked with them long enough to establish an opinion. I swear by Dell and Lenovo for laptops.17:37
Darkwingthey gave me a tablet to develop on so, I'm happy so far :P17:38
DarkwingActually, they did that last UDS.17:38
DarkwingAnyway...17:43
Cheri703nice, ok, well, go ahead and bring it, and we'll go from there :)17:47
paultagwait21:09
paultagKDE on a tablet21:09
paultagI want to see this. Always thought it'd be better as a tabletish shell21:09
paultagQt is just so much uglier then GTK+ by default, though21:09
paultagplus, Qt is really stiffing me right now21:12
dzhopaultag: a guy I know at #interlock has been yammering about the KDE tablet thingie since approximately forever21:22
dzhohe's a big KDE user21:22
dzhoand his n900 died the true death21:22
paultaghahaha21:22
paultagoh god21:22
dzhoso, he's been jonesing for something else mobile and freeish21:22
dzho"plasma active" is the flavor, apparently21:23
dzhoand it now is called Vivaldi, had been called Spark, but I guess there was some trademark conflict over that or something.21:23
paultaginnnnteresting.21:25
dzhoah, looks like the hardware vendor stabbed them in the back21:25
