lukibenihi!19:05
logxQUESTION: Calligra has a QML UI and was used as document viewer on the Nokia N9. Has it been consider to use that it as document viewer for the Core apps?19:05
Paulo_QUESTION: Jono, do you think that a easy-to-use SDK for Desktop Ubuntu would bring more developers for the distro and make things easier to everyone?19:05
ScrivenerQUESTION: Have you ever considered shaving your head just to get rid of the "balding" aspect? I've got a young friend who is balding early and he shaved his head -- I would too, if I were him. I wouldn't like balding -- just take it all off and make that your style :)19:06
sebsebsebQUESTION: When do you think phones running Ubuntu Phone may be offered for FREE to people who pay for contracts, in lots of counteries?19:08
sebsebsebQUESTION: Can Ubuntu Phone run normal Android apps, apparnatly it runs the Android kernel after all.19:10
benkaiserFor anybody who wants to see the App Mockups / contribute. Here is the url: https://ubuntu.mybalsamiq.com/projects/ubuntuphonecoreapps/grid19:10
un_wilsonQUESTION: all part of Ubuntu for Phone will be in the regular Ubuntu repositories or it will be separate?19:10
LukeBeeQUESTION: Will USC be getting a redesign any time soon?19:11
pemiboQUESTION:  Will there be an integrated update service in ubuntu phone OS or will we need to flash a new image every new release?19:11
rrnwexecQUESTION: Can you talk about the work that is going on around the Ubuntu Tablet (i.e. the Nexus 7)? (It seems the phone has taken a bit of the spotlight off of that.)19:11
ScrivenerQUESTION: Are there any new updates on what's going on with Ubuntu's work with Nvidia and Valve to share with us? Or just same old same old as the last couple months have gone? Any exciting advancements?19:12
DanSQUESTION: Will Ubuntu be selling unlocked phones directly? (like Google does with the Nexus 4)19:13

mike-devQUESTION: Are you going to Mobile World Congress next month?19:14
DarthVaderQUESTION: Is it OK to use Ubuntu Server to power a Death Star? Also, which Ubuntu Advantage plan would you recommend?19:14
JoseeAntonioRDarthVader: +119:15
Paulo_QUESTION: Asking the user about the online searches at installation time, with no default answer, is not a viable solution for our "privacy concerns". Maybe something like two buttons 'Yes/No', with no default.19:15
klakusQUESTION: Does Canonical plan to develop its own graphical tools for ideally all os aspects management for Ubuntu?19:15
pemiboQUESTION: What feature of Ubuntu (desktop or phone) are you looking forward to most?19:15

radiostormQUESTION: Will we see a release of Ubuntu TV later this year (in stores perhaps)?19:17
Guest42QUESTION: What is canonicals plan about compiz? Do you use compiz on the phone?19:18
ScrivenerQUESTION: Ubuntu partners with some OEMs to get Ubuntu on a few laptops, but has Ubuntu ever considered partnering with hardware manufacturers by selling their hardware (maybe rebranded, maybe not) from an Ubuntu shop experience? That is, if there is hardware that works very well with Ubuntu, could Ubuntu sell that hardware from an Ubuntu-specific web store? A new user wants to get a webcam, and they'd no longer have to search for Ubun19:20
Scrivenertu-compatible ones (like the Logitech C615 I just purchased). They could just go to your store, and maybe Ubuntu could get a cut of sales that way while basically just "advertising" the product. Everybody wins.19:20
snwhUbuntu Death Star edition, I like it.19:21
DanSHey DarthVader.. just make sure you do a 'sudo apt-get xx-9-heavy-turbolaser'19:21
snwhbe sure to: sudo apt-get install vent-port-cover19:22
marcoceppi`juju deploy vent-cover`19:22

Paulo_Asking the user about the online searches at installation time, with no default answer, is not a viable solution for our "privacy concerns"? Maybe something like two buttons 'Yes/No', with no default.19:22
Paulo_QUESTION: Asking the user about the online searches at installation time, with no default answer, is not a viable solution for our "privacy concerns". Maybe something like two buttons 'Yes/No', with no default.19:23
rrnwexecQUESTION: Should "everyday folks" that enjoy Ubuntu (but don't dig into the code) care whether Ubuntu moves to a rolling-release strategy? The volume of press on this would seem to indicate this is a really big deal. What are your thoughts?19:23
=== chris730 is now known as schmoobuntu
deshackQUESTION: some days ago we saw the results of a poll made by TechWeekEurope, which shows that Jolla's Sailfish is the most expected Mobile OS, while Ubuntu comes after it. Do you think Sailfish may be a problem for the spread of Ubuntu in mobile?19:24

snwh""is that jam good on toast?19:34

solarcloud_3srcngood question popey !!19:37

snwhQUESTION: will Ubuntu Phone include multimedia codecs for ease of media playback (and be snubbing Adobe Flash)?19:38

DanSlinuxDoug.. Netflix works in ChromeOS.. do they run silverlight?19:51
sebsebsebOk long question/thing coming up:19:51
sebsebsebQUESTION: I like GNOME Shell, but its also resulted in many differnet interface choices,  Cinnamon and Mate, and I assume Unity to an extent as well really, plus more recently the fall mode is being forked by a distro as well. I think this is a good thing, because it means more choice for the users, but some people call it fragmentation and see it as a bad thing, what do you think about that?19:51
linuxDougyes they do.19:51

linuxDoug...I'm pretty sure anyway19:51
Paulo_QUESTION: What's your favorite TV series?19:52
Scrivenerlove4ubuntu, Nice way to support a competitor? I don't think they see a big enough Linux crowd that would be using iTunes yet, and Apple will need to be making money, too.19:53

SidPaytonQUESTION: When does the contest for the app design end?19:57
tuxkalle_QUESTION: what is your text editor of choise19:57
