[13:13] <ChinnoDog> Morning
[15:42] <marcoceppi> o/
[16:22] <adom> afternoon
[16:23] <adom> hey marcoceppi, I was wondering something...you mentioned how Ubuntu likes you Canonical employees to use the latest distros, do they also prefer you to use Unity?
[16:24] <adom> Like, if you decided to use cairo-dock or fluxbox or something else, would they be unhappy?
[16:24] <adom> just curious
[16:25] <marcoceppi> adom: we're "mandated" to use the latest development release, but we can use whatever operating system/DE we like. I know a few who run KDE and others who customize everything
[16:26] <marcoceppi> it depends on the team you're on. The desktop/community team area almost always running unit/ubuntu+1 from the get go. Typically around beta1/beta2 most of the other tech teams move to saucy to provide feedback and testing
[16:27] <adom> you're supposed to use the latest dev release, but you can use a different OS? don't think I understand your wording. could you clarify?
[16:27] <adom> please and thanks
[16:48] <marcoceppi> adom: check pm
[16:58] <adom> got it thanks
[19:03] <ChinnoDog> marcoceppi: The other day you mentioned that Ubuntu laptops are hot items in foreign markets. Which ones? How much market share?
[20:55] <marcoceppi> India and China iirc. not sure market share
[21:48] <marcoceppi> adom: ChinnoDog more information on the release date for Solaptop https://plus.google.com/109344265064351301756/posts/1F8DG57aBUy
[23:39] <ChinnoDog> interesting
[23:49] <ChinnoDog> What is the cheapest Ubuntu laptop out there? I got the IT guy at work interested in Ubuntu today while showing him how to issue the secure erase command on a hard disk. He commented that it must require special hardware, to which my response that commodity hardware usually works best didn't seem to help much.
[23:49] <ChinnoDog> Would be cool if I could point noobs to a cheap piece of hardware for learning Ubuntu.
