[01:02] For people looking at global jam: Idea starters! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Sprints/2013-03-03-globaljam [04:17] 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 [04:18] skellat: I wasn't trying to be harsh :) [04:18] I just figure this is a good chance to get people out of the house :) [04:18] cheri703: It is okay. You're right and upon re-reading, I had my head stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. [04:19] 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] understandable :s [04:19] I'm lucky that I've got some folks here locally :D [04:20] Yep [04:20] 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? [04:21] Cheri703: You may have a couple close, but you also got a crazy one. [04:21] 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 [04:22] Unit193: Do you want to chime in on the mailing list and make your presence known in that forum? [04:23] skellat: Meh, was just passing along a little info in here. [04:23] Alrighty [04:23] 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] We're not just pure Unity/mainline Ubuntu [04:24] Xubuntu works great for me while my parents run Lubuntu [04:24] I'm really liking xubuntu [04:24] 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 [04:25] I had Ubuntu 6.10, after that, nope. :D [04:27] 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] That being GNOME 2, GNOME 2, GNOME 2, Xfce [04:32] Eventually I'll have to explain why I now have a Raspberry Pi yoked to the BeagleBoard-xM partially === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [20:22] 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] [20:23] I don't know any of these people [20:23] well then, just read their nominations. that's why they are there. ;) [20:23] that's not how elections work :) [20:23] people lie to get things they want, I'd rather trust someone :) [20:23] so, I'll pass [20:24] well, right [20:24] * paultag gets ready for Debian DPL election season [20:24] but they all end up following the rules anyway, otherwise bad things happen. :P [20:24] meh :) [20:27] * paultag ponders a hack [20:44] "On Stack Exchange, we believe the core moderators should . . . " [20:44] . . . acknowledge when they've cribbed something from Stack Exchange. [20:45] jrgifford: ^^^ [21:04] dzho: ask ubuntu *is* a SE site [21:17] oh, haha [21:17] so much for trademarks avoiding confusion [21:18] it's an officially licensed ubuntu site, but it is still both a member of the se network and a official ubuntu resource. [21:29] and yet, I was still confused. [21:29] * dzho shrugs [21:29] just an idiot, I suppose. [21:30] that's the hilarious thing about this--it's ok for it to be confusing, as long as it's *licensed* [21:30] oh well [21:33] 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 ™ [23:10] yeah, that thing is just weird [23:10] why they do it so often and in such a place is just... why?
