[20:09] <semitones> Hey
[20:10] <semitones> Lol not surprised to see this place isn't as well populated as #ot
[20:11] <semitones> I kind of want to see what sparked the creation of this channel
[20:31] <IdleOne> The original idea was to try and create a space where people could talk about anything Ubuntu (no support question). -ot can also be used for that but it is also used for other topics. It was felt that with the announcements of Ubuntu tv, android, phone, touch, this would be a better channel to funnel that discussion to.
[20:44] <semitones> IdleOne, ah ok. That's a lot more positive than what I thought happened (-ot gets tired of people complaining about unity)
[20:44] <IdleOne> that too
[20:44] <IdleOne> lol
[20:51] <semitones> so like
[20:51] <semitones> Not that this is a new idea
[20:52] <semitones> but I'm concerned that canonical is becoming too closed off to benefit the open source community
[20:53] <semitones> and as crazy as RHS is, I do like his ideas of frequently-needed software always getting better by being open
[20:53] <semitones> (or is it RMS?)
