| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: hey. | 18:40 |
|---|---|---|
| BobJonkman1 | Hi! Fancy meeting you here! | 18:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | You still in the Ottawa area? | 18:40 |
| zykotick9 | sorry, as i don't actually use, or recommend to others, the use of ubuntu... i don't really feel comfortable "organizing" ubuntu-hour anymore. I might attend a meeting (for old time sake) if someone else was to organize it :) | 18:41 |
| zykotick9 | ya, i'm still in OT | 18:41 |
| * zykotick9 is currently using an ubuntu derivative however - trisqul | 18:42 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Yes, Sebastien was considering running one in Ottawa; I wasn't sure you were still around | 18:42 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yup, I've used Trisquel too. You should start a !trisquel group on SN | 18:42 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: ACTUALLY, don't you run an instance with some groups? if YOU could start a trisquel group, i'd be very greatful (as would many others) | 18:43 |
| BobJonkman1 | Certainly using Trisquel gives the warm and fuzzy FAIFs that I'm not getting so much from Ubuntu | 18:44 |
| zykotick9 | s/many/some/ ;) trisquel isn't exactly a big community | 18:44 |
| zykotick9 | love your comment above BobJonkman1 ;) | 18:45 |
| * BobJonkman1 believes FAIF should be a new word | 18:46 | |
| BobJonkman1 | OK, !trisquel group on the way | 18:47 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: awesome!!! thanks so much. | 18:51 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: IF an ottawa ubuntu-hour appears, post it on gnu/social - and i'll certainly attend. | 18:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | I must confess I've been recommending Linux Mint to people recently. But that's probably less FAIF than Ubuntu | 18:51 |
| zykotick9 | it is... but i understand the recommendation | 18:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: Will do! Are you subscribed to the Ubuntu-ca mailing lists? | 18:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm no fan of Unity, and Linux Mint with the Mate desktop is an enviroment that doesn't get in my way | 18:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | Right now I'm using Xubuntu with XFCE | 18:53 |
| zykotick9 | i wouln't recommend trisquel or debian to people (new users especially). actually i'm not currently on the ubuntu-ca mailing list... but i'll correct that (so long as there is a digest version) right now. | 18:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yes, ubuntu-ca has a digest (it's Mailman). Traffic is light, but bursty. | 18:53 |
| zykotick9 | currently i'm using the very unfriendly, awesomewm+tmux as my interface, with lots of terminal apps. | 18:54 |
| BobJonkman1 | Mostly it's me spouting off about upcoming events | 18:54 |
| zykotick9 | i certainly do miss the "community" of people that surround ubuntu... | 18:54 |
| BobJonkman1 | Ubuntu Hours in Kitchener-Waterloo are largely distro-agnostic. We're all Ubuntu users or former users, but all distros are welcome | 18:55 |
| zykotick9 | nice | 18:56 |
| BobJonkman1 | We get largely the same crowd for Ubuntu Hours, the KWLUG, Software Freedom Day, &c. | 18:57 |
| BobJonkman1 | So, really, it's just a group of friends getting together, and welcoming others | 18:57 |
| zykotick9 | ubuntu-ca subscribed and confirmed | 18:58 |
| * BobJonkman1 is still working on !trisquel - do you know of a good logo, maybe 400px by 400px ? | 19:00 | |
| zykotick9 | https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trademark-guidelines certainly says you can use to logo, search for a file... | 19:04 |
| zykotick9 | http://www.gratisylegal.com/2013/03/distribuciones-linux-trisquel-gnulinux.html perhaps this could be resized? i didn't find a 400x400 file in my search... | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | Sebastien: so you're from Ottawa? | 19:19 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/trisquel | 19:23 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: thanks so much! | 19:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | You're welcome. As long as you're on Freenode anyway, pop into #social to chat about SN or GNUsocial | 19:24 |
