[12:57] <gonyere> Anyone know if there will be an Ubuntu booth/table at LibrePlanet? And if so, if they need volunteers to help run it?
[13:28] <popey> I'd be surprised if we were welcome at libreplanet
[13:40] <gonyere> I suspected the same, but thought I'd check just the same :)
[13:47] <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
[13:51] <IdleOne> that doesn't sound very ubuntu of them
[13:52] <popey> don't forget, we make spyware
[13:53] <IdleOne> yeah but only the parts you can see
[13:54] <IdleOne> libreplanet Freedom for everyone except if you don't agree with us
[13:54] <IdleOne> :)
[13:55] <IdleOne> to be fair all I know about libreplanet I have learned in this conversation
[13:56] <popey> hah
[13:57] <popey> I heard about it a year or two ago, when someone who used to contribute to ubuntu posted about it on planet ubuntu
[13:58] <jussi>  and here I was thinking libreplanet was a replacement for planet ubuntu...
[13:59] <IdleOne> different strokes and all that. Sad though if they do exclude people because they do work for something deemed not 100% free.
[14:24] <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.
[14:25] <nigelb> er, Linux mainstream.
[14:35] <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.
[14:45] <popey> ..mostly.. yeah ☻
[14:46] <IdleOne> For me it was nice people who kept me using Ubuntu for all these years
[14:47] <IdleOne> life would be much simpler sometimes if I just used windows
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <IdleOne> I feel the same way now, but probably because I'm spoiled by ubuntu
[15:27] <nigelb> popey: :D
