| Nothing_Much | Anyone here? | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| balloons | just us chickens | 01:18 |
| Nothing_Much | oh finally someone is here! | 01:37 |
| Nothing_Much | and is now gone :( | 01:41 |
| Nothing_Much | mhall119: Are you that same guy from reddit? :o | 01:44 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: /u/mhall119, yes | 01:45 |
| * mhall119 is mhall119 almost everywhere | 01:45 | |
| Nothing_Much | holy crap nice | 01:46 |
| Nothing_Much | Quick question, do you know whether it's possible to promote Ubuntu using ubuntu-manual as a reference for charitable purposes? | 01:47 |
| Nothing_Much | well darn | 01:51 |
| Nothing_Much | mhall119: ^ | 01:54 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: yes, you can use Ubuntu stuff to promote Ubuntu as much as you want | 01:56 |
| Nothing_Much | Are you sure? I just wanna be 100% sure and I can't seem to find a way to contact Canonical about it, like, would accepting donations be okay? Or does it have to be only for charity only? Either way I'll still do it just to show the alternative that isn't Windows. :D | 01:57 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: donations for what? | 02:00 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: http://www.ubuntu.com/intellectual-property-policy has all the information you should need, but it covers a lot | 02:03 |
| Nothing_Much | Promoting, like say buying computers that people can use to use Ubuntu with, sorta like a teacher, except.. well I'm not too sure.. I'm not a teacher, just an overly enthusiastic Ubuntu fan lol | 02:03 |
| mhall119 | the part you'll probably be interested in is section 6: | 02:03 |
| mhall119 | 6. Use of Canonical IP by the Ubuntu community | 02:03 |
| mhall119 | Ubuntu is built by Canonical and the Ubuntu community. We share access rights owned by Canonical with the Ubuntu community for the purposes of discussion, development and advocacy. We recognise that most of the open source discussion and development areas are for non-commercial purposes and we therefore allow the use of Canonical IP in this context, as long as there is no commercial use and that the Canonical IP is used in accordance with this | 02:03 |
| mhall119 | you can generally accept donations if they go towards promoting Ubuntu | 02:04 |
| mhall119 | as long as you personally aren't profitting from them | 02:04 |
| Nothing_Much | Ohh.. okay, so I guess I can just let people bring their own older PCs for them to use Ubuntu on. But I do have a spare Pentium 4 pc | 02:04 |
| Nothing_Much | oh no, I was kinda thinking about pocketing money, but then I did take into account of what Canonical would think, so that's why I wanted clarification | 02:05 |
| mhall119 | yeah, if the money goes into your pocket it makes it commercial use, and then you need a different license | 02:05 |
| Nothing_Much | oh goodness, what license do I need right now for just charity purposes? >.> | 02:06 |
| mhall119 | for charities it's non-commercial, so you should be fine | 02:06 |
| Nothing_Much | alrighty then | 02:07 |
| Nothing_Much | I can then proceed with my curriculum! (or is there another term for not a teacher?) | 02:07 |
| Nothing_Much | if anybody can clarify what this is btw, that'd be nice: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-florida/741/detail/ | 02:10 |
| Nothing_Much | wait mhall119, sorry to bother again, but is ubuntu-manual.org a part of Canonical? That way I can use it for promotion? | 02:13 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: I don't think it's made by Canonical no, but that doesn't matter the trademark policy applies to anything that uses the Ubuntu name or logo | 02:24 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: we have monthly IRC meetings as a team, that's the page for the next one | 02:25 |
| Nothing_Much | Oh, okay, sorry about panicing, I just don't want to screw something up if/when I get a chance to utilize a church or library or something. | 02:25 |
| Nothing_Much | for the promotion | 02:25 |
| Nothing_Much | Oh, I thought the 14.04 release party was IRL? | 02:26 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: don't worry, worse that can happen if you do something wrong is you get a friendly request asking you to stop or change something | 03:06 |
| Nothing_Much | oh okay, but what about the 14.04 release party? | 03:06 |
| mhall119 | the party will be IRL, I wanted to kick of planning in the next meeting | 03:07 |
| Nothing_Much | Ah okay, so the meeting is at uh.., lemme check | 03:09 |
| Nothing_Much | 8 - 10 EST | 03:10 |
| Nothing_Much | PM | 03:10 |
| mhall119 | yeah, on March 3rd | 03:18 |
| mhall119 | 8-9pm | 03:19 |
| Nothing_Much | Oh right | 03:20 |
| Nothing_Much | 8-9pm Got it | 03:20 |
| Nothing_Much | That's for IRC | 03:20 |
| mhall119 | yes, that is IRC | 03:23 |
