Thankyou! [05:10] any time [05:11] I'm talking with Karl Wortmann, and he will join IRC again. [05:11] good [06:11] Good evening, Kilos. :) [06:11] :D [06:24] Yay! Thanx, mhall119 [07:11] hello [07:11] hi boon [07:13] hi kilos.....anything good happening in the chat room or Wat [07:14] very quiet here boon [07:14] only new news is that korea have a running LoCo [07:26] hi toddy [07:26] hi Kilos [07:38] hi dpm [09:58] umm.. exactly korea team has operated by previous leader, and we voted new leader, and made a renewed council. [09:59] at least its up and running again [09:59] thats what counts [10:00] yes right. haha. [10:00] get the guys to read and understand http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/conduct [10:01] its all about helping each other and working together [10:01] the leader must lead by example [10:01] then others enjoy following [10:02] yes i will. thx! [15:59] hi PabloRubianes [15:59] hi Kilos [16:24] Hi [16:24] hi ShawnK === Kilos is now known as Kiloswhat === Kiloswhat is now known as Kilos [21:25] nhaines: i forgot. did you say you were planning on coming to lfnw or oscon? [21:38] wxl: I was thinking of coming to OSCON, but I'm not sure if my schedule will work out. I'll know after the end of the month. [21:38] nhaines: alright cool, well keep me in the loop. they haven't opened registration yet, so no rush, but i'm hoping to use lfnw as a dress rehearsal of sorts. [21:39] Ooh, a good idea. [21:41] i gotta get my freaking pi2 set up already [21:41] if you're going to come to oscon, let me know and i'll leave the ubuntu phone side of things in your hands XD [21:44] Haha, thanks! Yeah, I'll definitely keep you filled in. I had just been thinking about OSCON last week. [21:46] it would be nice to actually have the bq phone there rather than just my crappy old nexus 4 :) [21:48] Hopefully that'll be something that Canonical can make happen by then. :) But the truth is that the two phones seem to work very similarly. [21:48] nhaines: i realize that but the officialness of it will certainly make those less personally familiar with ubuntu ooh and ahh :) [21:50] I found that this actually seemed to be a secondary concern. A lot of people were happy to see Ubuntu on our N4s at SCALE and then just briefly look at or hold the bq phone before leaving. [21:50] (This was a pleasant surprise.) [21:52] oh hm [21:52] kind of makes sense [21:52] and really the bq isn't marketed for the us, so that makes sense! [21:52] Yeah. There was a lot of "When will this phone be available in the US?" "Never." [21:53] (aside: at first i didn't grok what you meant by n4 and thought there was some arm server i didn't know about) XD [21:53] never? [21:53] Nope! The bq phone is Europe-only. [21:53] i thought canonical had announced there was to be an announcement [21:53] oh [21:53] not "touch" you mean "bq" [21:53] yeah, makes sense [21:54] We had the "announcement in the next 6 months" timeframe back then, and I would surmrise with the attendee that a US-based phone would probably be speced more appropriately for US tastes. [21:54] the bq isn't 4g is it? [21:55] It can do European HSPA+ but not US HSPA+ or LTE. [21:55] has lte even hit europe at all? [21:55] Or 3G for that matter. So here it's 2G. [21:55] I believe they've been using LTE for a while but the frequencies are different. [21:55] I donno. I just buy Nexus phones so I don't have to worry about it. [21:56] heheh yeah [21:56] Heck, T-Mobile doesn't even charge me for international data roaming anymore. :D [21:56] well i know that 3g is far more common there [21:56] Or texts either, I think. [21:56] whereis here 4g is an expectation [21:57] Yeah, I'd mention how great the phone is in the European market, and note how smooth and fast Ubuntu was on low-mid-end hardware. [21:57] hm so i'm probably using hspa+ with t-mobile [21:57] i didn't realize that [21:57] So if the US wants a flagship phone, well, just think of how well Ubuntu will run on that. [21:57] yeah [21:57] * wxl grins widely [21:58] Regardless of the fact that it's true anyway, everyone seemed to buy into that. [21:58] how close is lte speed to hspa+? [21:58] Or when someone asked how Ubuntu ran on the N5, I'd say "It's the best way to run Ubuntu if you hate Bluetooth." [21:58] hehehe [21:58] HSPA+ is slower than LTE now but was faster than the first LTE phones out there. [21:59] interesting [22:01] according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wireless_data_standards#Overview it seems that hspa+ has the potential to annihilate lte [22:04] Probably, but everyone seems to have picked LTE anyway. :) [22:09] doesn't make sense to me considering we have to create new infrastructure [22:09] UNLESS it is proven tha ttechnically lte can exceed all possible improvements in hspa+ [22:11] Or if the hardware's cheaper. But when T-Mobile rolled out HSPA+ they made the towers software upgradeable to LTE.
