| sebsebseb | mhall119: who's the Ubuntu Community manager now? I saw about half of that video with Shuttleworht and you and then uesiotns | 22:22 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: everybody who worked for Jono before had their title changed to "Community Manager" | 22:23 |
| mhall119 | dpm, who took over jono's managerial role, got the title "Community Team Manager" | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | and then not sure what that was meant to say at the end | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | I am on IRC after a few weeks first time | 22:23 |
| mhall119 | basically Ubuntu has multiple community managers now | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | oh right nice | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | ,but anyonew new joining the team woudn't get that? | 22:24 |
| mhall119 | they might, randall ross just joined the cloud side with that title i think | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: how's the Ubuntu Phone coming along | 22:24 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: exciting times, we're so close I can taste it | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | come end of Januaray or so Orange wil try to sell me a new phone I guess, or whtaever | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | ,but I was thinking | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | of | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | if possible | 22:25 |
| mhall119 | only, I won't *actually* taste it at first, because I'm in the USA and our network frequencies are weird here | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | probabably buying an Ubuntu phone intead then :D or around hten | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | Android is a bit boring now anyway so | 22:25 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: we *should* have a phone you can by at that point in time | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | and I did put some money into the edge well nearly actually | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: yeah and then I guess put a giffgaff card in it and :), yeah that's the ipression I am getting that that someting is on the verge of being released | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | in December? | 22:26 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: I can't say for sure, we can provide them the "finished" software, but the supply chain and manufacturing process is out of our hands | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | well will be interesieng to see what happens wit that, and the tabl | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | e | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | t | 22:27 |
| mhall119 | no immediate plans for a tablet release, we're all-hands on the phone | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | ah righty eah, but I think someone else was going to do one going by omgubuntu anwyay | 22:28 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: anyway 2015 the year of the Ubuntu Phone, or probably? | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | also I know there's a like software preview that I haven't treid or yet but it wil run some Android apps to ? | 22:29 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: most likely, even if we get a phone out in 2014 it would be hard to call it that | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | yeah why's that? | 22:31 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: no, Ubuntu won't run Android apps | 22:31 |
| mhall119 | because december != "the year" | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | December is this year yeah | 22:31 |
| mhall119 | yeah, but only a small part of it | 22:31 |
| mhall119 | I, for one, won't be calling 2014 "the year of the Ubuntu Phone" | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | well I guess I may mean mor ewhen manufacctres start selling Ubuntu Phone | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | that won't be until 2015 by earliest I assume | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | or for most | 22:32 |
