I saw about half of that video with Shuttleworht and you and then uesiotns [22:23] sebsebseb: everybody who worked for Jono before had their title changed to "Community Manager" [22:23] dpm, who took over jono's managerial role, got the title "Community Team Manager" [22:23] and then not sure what that was meant to say at the end [22:23] I am on IRC after a few weeks first time [22:24] basically Ubuntu has multiple community managers now [22:24] oh right nice [22:24] ,but anyonew new joining the team woudn't get that? [22:24] they might, randall ross just joined the cloud side with that title i think [22:24] mhall119: how's the Ubuntu Phone coming along [22:24] sebsebseb: exciting times, we're so close I can taste it [22:24] come end of Januaray or so Orange wil try to sell me a new phone I guess, or whtaever [22:25] ,but I was thinking [22:25] of [22:25] if possible [22:25] only, I won't *actually* taste it at first, because I'm in the USA and our network frequencies are weird here [22:25] probabably buying an Ubuntu phone intead then :D or around hten [22:25] Android is a bit boring now anyway so [22:25] sebsebseb: we *should* have a phone you can by at that point in time [22:25] and I did put some money into the edge well nearly actually [22:26] 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] in December? [22:26] 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 [22:27] well will be interesieng to see what happens wit that, and the tabl [22:27] e [22:27] t [22:27] no immediate plans for a tablet release, we're all-hands on the phone [22:28] ah righty eah, but I think someone else was going to do one going by omgubuntu anwyay [22:29] mhall119: anyway 2015 the year of the Ubuntu Phone, or probably? [22:29] also I know there's a like software preview that I haven't treid or yet but it wil run some Android apps to ? [22:30] sebsebseb: most likely, even if we get a phone out in 2014 it would be hard to call it that [22:31] yeah why's that? [22:31] sebsebseb: no, Ubuntu won't run Android apps [22:31] because december != "the year" [22:31] December is this year yeah [22:31] yeah, but only a small part of it [22:31] I, for one, won't be calling 2014 "the year of the Ubuntu Phone" [22:32] well I guess I may mean mor ewhen manufacctres start selling Ubuntu Phone [22:32] that won't be until 2015 by earliest I assume [22:32] or for most [22:32] yes, still should happen this year [22:32] oh you think manfactures will start selling devces with it in December? [22:32] we have 2 oems who are planning on shipping currently, one plans to ship by end of year, the other next year [22:32] yeah bq and the other one [22:33] that's what I was thinking I Would buy if going to be an early adopter [22:33] Meizu [22:33] apparnatly not convergence changing to desktop stuff on first phones though, but that's ok [22:33] no, not until we have unity 8 ready for desktop and phone powerful enough to make a good workstation [22:34] mhall119: do you kmow who the big OEM paratner is meant to be? or you do and meant to be hush hush for now about that?
