| Unit193 | For people looking at global jam: Idea starters! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Sprints/2013-03-03-globaljam | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| skellat | Well, this has got to be the most active the listserv has been in some time | 04:17 |
| * skellat is not amused doing a restore on a Windows 7 Home Premium laptop that he is *NOT* allowed to make a dual-boot machine | 04:17 | |
| Cheri703 | skellat: I wasn't trying to be harsh :) | 04:18 |
| Cheri703 | I just figure this is a good chance to get people out of the house :) | 04:18 |
| skellat | cheri703: It is okay. You're right and upon re-reading, I had my head stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. | 04:18 |
| skellat | My movements remain limited due to the lack of job and money so getting outside Ashtabula County is not looking all that bloody likely | 04:19 |
| Cheri703 | understandable :s | 04:19 |
| Cheri703 | I'm lucky that I've got some folks here locally :D | 04:19 |
| skellat | Yep | 04:20 |
| skellat | I say the thread is at a good point. Do you want to do a recap of what everybody has said, summarizing key points, and merge my list of activity ideas with those put forward by Unit193? | 04:20 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: You may have a couple close, but you also got a crazy one. | 04:21 |
| Cheri703 | do *I* want to? no. I am getting ready to go across the country this weekend, do I want *someone* to? sure | 04:21 |
| * Cheri703 can qualify as crazy in a lot of ways, so...eh | 04:21 | |
| skellat | Unit193: Do you want to chime in on the mailing list and make your presence known in that forum? | 04:22 |
| Unit193 | skellat: Meh, was just passing along a little info in here. | 04:23 |
| skellat | Alrighty | 04:23 |
| skellat | I'll probably do a recapitulation of things in the morning which may yet allow a few more people to show up out of the woodwork | 04:23 |
| skellat | We're not just pure Unity/mainline Ubuntu | 04:23 |
| skellat | Xubuntu works great for me while my parents run Lubuntu | 04:24 |
| Cheri703 | I'm really liking xubuntu | 04:24 |
| Cheri703 | vanilla ubuntu was fine overall, but I wanted to step up the customization and with the bigger monitors the far left launcher wasn't going to cut it | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | I had Ubuntu 6.10, after that, nope. :D | 04:25 |
| skellat | I started out with Mandriva, then went to Ubuntu, then went to openSUSE for quite a while, then hit Xubuntu and found what I was looking for | 04:27 |
| skellat | That being GNOME 2, GNOME 2, GNOME 2, Xfce | 04:27 |
| skellat | Eventually I'll have to explain why I now have a Raspberry Pi yoked to the BeagleBoard-xM partially | 04:32 |

| jrgifford | Hey folks, the 2013 ask ubuntu moderator elections have begun, if you're active-ish on it, by all means, please vote! http://askubuntu.com/election/3 | 20:22 |
| jrgifford | </end-shameless-plug> | 20:22 |
| paultag | I don't know any of these people | 20:23 |
| jrgifford | well then, just read their nominations. that's why they are there. ;) | 20:23 |
| paultag | that's not how elections work :) | 20:23 |
| paultag | people lie to get things they want, I'd rather trust someone :) | 20:23 |
| paultag | so, I'll pass | 20:23 |
| jrgifford | well, right | 20:24 |
| * paultag gets ready for Debian DPL election season | 20:24 | |
| jrgifford | but they all end up following the rules anyway, otherwise bad things happen. :P | 20:24 |
| paultag | meh :) | 20:24 |
| * paultag ponders a hack | 20:27 | |
| dzho | "On Stack Exchange, we believe the core moderators should . . . " | 20:44 |
| dzho | . . . acknowledge when they've cribbed something from Stack Exchange. | 20:44 |
| dzho | jrgifford: ^^^ | 20:45 |
| jrgifford | dzho: ask ubuntu *is* a SE site | 21:04 |
| dzho | oh, haha | 21:17 |
| dzho | so much for trademarks avoiding confusion | 21:17 |
| jrgifford | it's an officially licensed ubuntu site, but it is still both a member of the se network and a official ubuntu resource. | 21:18 |
| dzho | and yet, I was still confused. | 21:29 |
| * dzho shrugs | 21:29 | |
| dzho | just an idiot, I suppose. | 21:29 |
| dzho | that's the hilarious thing about this--it's ok for it to be confusing, as long as it's *licensed* | 21:30 |
| dzho | oh well | 21:30 |
| dzho | ah, here's the other thing--ubuntu's penchant for placing the ubuntu trefoil logo thingy as a superscript . . . in much the same manner one might expect to find a ® or a ™ | 21:33 |
| jrgifford | yeah, that thing is just weird | 23:10 |
| jrgifford | why they do it so often and in such a place is just... why? | 23:10 |
