| gonyere | Anyone know if there will be an Ubuntu booth/table at LibrePlanet? And if so, if they need volunteers to help run it? | 12:57 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | I'd be surprised if we were welcome at libreplanet | 13:28 |
| gonyere | I suspected the same, but thought I'd check just the same :) | 13:40 |
| popey | well, i have no idea, just guessing | 13:47 |
| popey | given how they vet their speakers based on whether they are 100% free software advocates or not | 13:47 |
| IdleOne | that doesn't sound very ubuntu of them | 13:51 |
| popey | don't forget, we make spyware | 13:52 |
| IdleOne | yeah but only the parts you can see | 13:53 |
| IdleOne | libreplanet Freedom for everyone except if you don't agree with us | 13:54 |
| IdleOne | :) | 13:54 |
| IdleOne | to be fair all I know about libreplanet I have learned in this conversation | 13:55 |
| popey | hah | 13:56 |
| popey | I heard about it a year or two ago, when someone who used to contribute to ubuntu posted about it on planet ubuntu | 13:57 |
| jussi | and here I was thinking libreplanet was a replacement for planet ubuntu... | 13:58 |
| IdleOne | different strokes and all that. Sad though if they do exclude people because they do work for something deemed not 100% free. | 13:59 |
| nigelb | I disagree with a lot of things Ubuntu does. | 14:24 |
| nigelb | But, I can't hide the fact that we made Ubuntu mainstream. | 14:24 |
| nigelb | er, Linux mainstream. | 14:25 |
| gonyere | I've been running Ubuntu for 7+ years now. Before that I ran a variety of other distros (mostly Slackware, RedHat, Debian and Linux Mandrake) for ~8 years w/o a lot of success. I've stuck w/ Ubuntu mostly cause' it just bloody works, without spending hours/days/weeks working on my sound card or video card or modem or whatever. | 14:35 |
| popey | ..mostly.. yeah ☻ | 14:45 |
| IdleOne | For me it was nice people who kept me using Ubuntu for all these years | 14:46 |
| IdleOne | life would be much simpler sometimes if I just used windows | 14:47 |
| gonyere | IDK IdleOne... I get on a windows system these days and I'm a bit lost :p Not to mention the wonderful freedom to surf w/o constantly being inundated with popups, worrying about spyware/malware/adware and virus' :p | 15:15 |
| IdleOne | I feel the same way now, but probably because I'm spoiled by ubuntu | 15:16 |
| nigelb | popey: :D | 15:27 |
