=== rbecker is now known as RBecker [01:35] Hello, I have a question concerning ubuntu domain names. I am a member of the Canadian LoCo. Someone at GoDaddy.com has parked ubuntu.ca domain, which we would like to use. Under the law here concerning name disputes, ( page 3 here: http://www.cira.ca/assets/Documents/Legal/Dispute/CDRPpolicy.pdf ) "Registrant’s dot-ca domain name is Confusingly Similar to a Mark in which the Complainant had Rights prior to the date of registration [01:35] of the domain name and continues to have such Rights" is a basis for contention. ubuntu.com was registered May 2004, ubuntu.ca April 2005. [01:35] Canonical has a brick and mortar location in Canada as well. Are there any suggestions as to how to proceed? [01:45] contacting legal@ubuntu or whatever that email address probably [01:45] * genii-around makes more coffee [01:45] elky: Ah, thanks. [01:58] genii-around: if the domain isn't used in a way that might confuse people, it might be difficult to get it... [01:59] remember there are other companies & associations named Ubuntu [02:00] JanC: I'm pretty sure GoDaddy just registered it to themself around Hoary release time to try and get some money. [02:01] ( whois: Creation date: 2005/04/29" [02:05] * genii-around ponders if Ubuntu Cola has a Canadian office === RBecker is now known as rbecker === nomad0 is now known as nomada [05:44] it does vary tbh given the word ubuntu is used elsewhere outside of the ubuntu distro and community world [05:44] czajkowski: you're up early :) [05:45] can't sleep [05:45] o/ [05:45] doing mail and following up on irc stuff might help [05:45] *yawn* [05:46] * pleia2 nods [05:47] czajkowski: you've been up all night? [05:47] nope slept from about 1-5 [05:47] now up [05:52] oh it's pancake tuesday need to wait another hour before the local shop opens up to get the stuff to make pancakes [07:59] good morning === rbecker is now known as RBecker === RBecker is now known as rbecker [12:49] hello [12:49] i have a question about dates for UGJ [12:50] on the wiki it states it's going to occur from March 1st to March 3rd [12:51] yes [12:51] however if one looks at release schedule - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule [12:51] beta release will be on March 28th [12:52] shouldn't UGJ be a weekend after beta release so it can be tested [12:52] nope we've never done it that way [12:52] nothing to stop teams having their own jam their weekend if they want [12:52] but this is the weekend that was chosen it's the weekend before feature freeze [12:53] sure we have. every other UGJ was the first weekend after beta was released [12:54] andrejz: well this was when this one was chosen [12:54] dont know what else to say [12:54] mail jono perhaps as it was him as far as I can tell that chose it [12:54] for 12.04 it was one month earlier, because beta was released 1 month earlier (because 12.04 was LTS) [12:55] but for all the other .04 releases UGJ were around the first week of april [12:55] andrejz: like I say we didn't chose it, hell I didnt know about it till randall mailed loco contacts list [12:55] ok, i understand [12:56] so i should email Jono to suggest date change? [12:57] it's a bit late to change it tbh [12:58] but yes mail him if you'd like [12:58] thanks for the info [12:58] again no idea why it was chosen perhaps there was a reason, but he wasn't the one that mailed the list [12:58] so not sure [12:58] sorry [12:58] dholbach: any ideas why it was chosen then ? [13:01] czajkowski: my guess is: probably because it's exactly 1 year after 12.04 global jam [13:02] but 12.04 was an exception because beta was released earlier (LTS release) [13:51] czajkowski, there were some conferences I think [13:52] czajkowski, pleia2 and jcastro probably know [13:52] and balloons too [16:05] genii-around: many people also use the word ubuntu in their counteries and not use it in the way we would [16:05] so they can use the ubuntu.iso if they chose tbh [16:07] In Canada the word Ubuntu has no traditional meaning as in perhaps some African nation or so on. So I'm not sure that it's a valid claim as far as that goes. [16:07] it is though [16:07] it has no valid claim in ireland either [16:07] or in other languages, if people wish to use the domain they can [16:07] unless they are using it in a way that would upset the trademark [16:09] Hm. [16:11] genii-around: it's a word that was long around before canonical used it :) [16:11] Well, yes. [16:12] Seeing as how the -qc team used to have it perhaps I'll go talk to one of them about it... [17:10] UGJ is being done right before feature freeze, after the betas are released gets a bit late for a lot of changes to come in, we want to catch the QA stuff much earlier than the betas === RBecker is now known as rbecker === rbecker is now known as RBecker [17:11] the day after beta1 last cycle meant that we had a lot of broken ISOs for the jam, since everyone saved up all their changes until right after the beta1 [17:11] so the daily that weekend was a bit of a mess [17:12] we had an installer that crashed upon boot (you could still get into the livecd and launch it from there, but it was not awesome) [17:14] anyway, we'll see how it goes, if it doesn't go well we'll change it next cycle :) === RBecker_ is now known as RBecker === RBecker is now known as rbecker === RBecker is now known as rbecker
