[18:40] <zykotick9> BobJonkman1: hey.
[18:40] <BobJonkman1> Hi! Fancy meeting you here!
[18:40] <BobJonkman1> You still in the Ottawa area?
[18:41] <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
[18:42]  * 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
[18:43] <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)
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <zykotick9> love your comment above BobJonkman1 ;)
[18:46]  * BobJonkman1 believes FAIF should be a new word
[18:47] <BobJonkman1> OK, !trisquel group on the way
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <zykotick9> it is... but i understand the recommendation
[18:52] <BobJonkman1> zykotick9: Will do! Are you subscribed to the Ubuntu-ca mailing lists?
[18:53] <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.
[18:54] <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...
[18:55] <BobJonkman1> Ubuntu Hours in Kitchener-Waterloo are largely distro-agnostic.  We're all Ubuntu users or former users, but all distros are welcome
[18:56] <zykotick9> nice
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <zykotick9> ubuntu-ca subscribed and confirmed
[19:00]  * BobJonkman1 is still working on !trisquel - do you know of a good logo, maybe 400px by 400px ?
[19:04] <zykotick9> https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trademark-guidelines certainly says you can use to logo, search for a file...
[19:08] <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...
[19:19] <zykotick9> Sebastien: so you're from Ottawa?
[19:23] <BobJonkman1> zykotick9: http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/trisquel
[19:23] <zykotick9> BobJonkman1: thanks so much!
[19:24] <BobJonkman1> You're welcome. As long as you're on Freenode anyway, pop into #social to chat about SN or GNUsocial
