[20:58] <airurando> Just seen that the next Ubuntu Global Jam will be held on the weekend of 04 -06 Apr 14.
[20:58] <airurando> not good for me :-(
[20:58] <airurando> won't be able to participate that weekend
[20:58] <zmoylan-len> work?
[21:00] <airurando> no, that wouldn't stop me
[21:00] <airurando> daughters confirmation
[21:00] <zmoylan-len> yeah, miss that at your peril
[21:01] <airurando> worst luck :-(
[21:01] <airurando> really wanted to give full LoCo support to 14.04
[21:02] <airurando> zmoylan-len: did you see Aaron Hastings post to the list?
[21:03] <zmoylan-len> not ringing any bells, have been busy as of late recovering a wiped media drive
[21:04] <airurando> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ie/2013-December/001366.html
[21:05] <zmoylan-len> interesting
[21:05] <airurando> Aaron is a real nice guy.  If you can test his app out on any device I'd appreciate it.
[21:06] <airurando> I do hope we have some events in 2014 that he can meet up with you guys.
[21:06] <airurando> tdr112 knows him well
[21:07] <airurando> well knows him anyway
[21:07] <airurando> he introduced me to him
[21:08] <zmoylan-len> no devices running or capable of running ubuntu touch at the mo.
=== vamp is now known as VampiricPadraig
[21:08] <zmoylan-len> just switched back to dumbphones after iphone 3g threw a wobbler
[21:10] <airurando> if you know anyone who could test it would you give them a nudge?
[21:12] <zmoylan-len> i'm trying to think and am coming up empty.  if i do see anyone mention it i'll give them a poke
[21:13] <airurando> cheers
[21:14] <zmoylan-len> i mean ubuntu said they had a hardware manufacturer onboard but i'm doubtful unfortunately.  and their window of opportunity is closing fast
[21:16] <airurando> aye
[21:16] <airurando> we will see what happens in 2014
[21:17] <zmoylan-len> what i really wish is that some one make a generic phone so that people could try ubuntu touch, blackberry, androids, sailfish and other low % devices
[21:18] <zmoylan-len> people would be more prepared to make a leap of faith if they could move to other os if 1 dies or os not to their liking
[21:28] <airurando> hadn't thought of it like that before but you have a good point!
[21:29] <zmoylan-len> each of these minor players are trying to carve out a place with the big boys elbowing them out.  together they could make a difference and the nsa's job a damn sight harder
[21:30] <airurando> good point
[22:19] <tdr112> hey airurando
[22:19] <tdr112> i hope you and your family had a great xmas
[22:36] <airurando> thanks tdr112
[22:36] <airurando> we did indeed
[22:36] <airurando> I hope it was a good one for you also
[22:36] <airurando> Daughter got a laptop
[22:37] <airurando> Son got a nexus 7
[22:37] <airurando> i got a car stereo
[22:37] <airurando> to replace the one that was stolen a year ago!
[22:45] <tdr112> ah cool, i was in germany, from the 26th was great fun
