[05:51] <olly> gosh, hope you're all ok
[05:51]  * olly in austria - didn't feel it here
[05:54] <chilts> olly: did you feel this one? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-23401470
[05:55] <chilts> looks pretty big too
[05:55] <chilts> Upper Hutt was ok, much further than Wgtn ... was a lot stronger down there I think (as others on here can vouch)
[05:59] <chilts> karora: congrats on the XO tablet lanuch! :)
[06:08] <karora> chilts: Hey, thanks :-)
[06:10] <chilts> :)
[10:21] <noskcaj> And i thought ubuntu-au was small...
[10:21] <noskcaj> Maybe someone should merge the two LoCos?
[10:26] <noskcaj> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalCustomisation/NewZealand looks a touch outdated
[10:28] <noskcaj> And ubuntu-nz.org doesn't exist
[10:31] <G> noskcaj: it serves as a regional 'morning' channel, merging with Aussie would throw our mornings out of whack ;)
[10:48] <noskcaj> ok
[13:26] <Atamira> the au chix combined with the nz chix . didnt turn out well
[19:30] <ajmitch_> morning
[20:23] <chilts> morning
[20:25] <ibeardslee> morning
[21:47] <hads> morning
[22:15] <G> morning
[22:23] <thumper> morning
[22:24] <thumper> igg.me/at/ubuntuedge anyone?
[22:26] <G> I saw that, not critical of Canonical really but it leaves a lot of wiggleroom to really miss expectations on
[22:26] <mwhudson> it's pretty crazy
[22:28] <G> 'Fastest multicore CPU' is open to so much interpretation
[22:29] <G> Silicon Anode battery sounds interesting though, but the gotcha for me would be safety given the issues with LiIon a few years back
[22:41] <chilts> $32Million ... someone's going to get rich and not be held accountable for what they spend the money on
[22:41]  * chilts decides not to back it
[22:42] <chilts> ah, Canonical is actually running it
[22:42] <chilts> I'm not sure that crowdsourcing works for such big projects, smaller amounts is better I think
[22:45] <G> yeah, it's actually interesting watching a couple of the kickstarter campaigns, the current showcase for crowdfunding seems to be the Veronica Mars movie which pulled in nearly 6mil US (and appears to be getting good press for it), that's a real breaking down traditional barriers thing, but a lot of the tech projects seem un-original/yawn
[22:46] <G> I'm not sure why Canonical can't snuggle up to a traditional phone manufacture like Facebook did  (or maybe Facebook's failure has left HTC/Samsung/LG/etc weary)
[23:33] <thumper> G: they will,
[23:34] <thumper> for some reasoning, watch the hardware intro video
