[12:57] 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] I'd be surprised if we were welcome at libreplanet [13:40] I suspected the same, but thought I'd check just the same :) [13:47] well, i have no idea, just guessing [13:47] given how they vet their speakers based on whether they are 100% free software advocates or not [13:51] that doesn't sound very ubuntu of them [13:52] don't forget, we make spyware [13:53] yeah but only the parts you can see [13:54] libreplanet Freedom for everyone except if you don't agree with us [13:54] :) [13:55] to be fair all I know about libreplanet I have learned in this conversation [13:56] hah [13:57] 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] and here I was thinking libreplanet was a replacement for planet ubuntu... [13:59] different strokes and all that. Sad though if they do exclude people because they do work for something deemed not 100% free. [14:24] I disagree with a lot of things Ubuntu does. [14:24] But, I can't hide the fact that we made Ubuntu mainstream. [14:25] er, Linux mainstream. [14:35] 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] ..mostly.. yeah ☻ [14:46] For me it was nice people who kept me using Ubuntu for all these years [14:47] life would be much simpler sometimes if I just used windows [15:15] 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] I feel the same way now, but probably because I'm spoiled by ubuntu [15:27] popey: :D
