BrianLinuxingThanks Jane, good answer.17:07
mhall119Benaissa: start your question with QUESTION or it will not be seen17:07
mhI just wanted to say "Thank you" to everyone who works  on Ubuntu.17:09
mhall119I suppose I can allow two :)17:09
_Ridgewing.... so Open source is a Tool, then. Good.17:09
mariogripQUESTION: What was the Canonical's response when  Microsoft released continuum?17:09
JarlathQUESTION: You mentioned expanding app, scope and feature offerings in the future. Can we expect performance to improve or should current users upgrade their hardware if they want better performance?17:09
bananananaQUESTION: in witch country/contintent is Ubuntu the most popular?17:10
CheeseBurgQUESTION: Where do you see open source and Ubuntu in the "Internet of Things" market that is growing. Do you think this will affect the appeal of open source more traditional markets like desktop computing?17:10

CheeseBurgQUESTION: Do you see an opportunity in smart cars? Has there been any interest from any partners?17:11
pstolowskiQUESTION: would you say cloud is becoming more important given how much market share ubuntu has in the cloud? or do you see all markets equally important?17:11
mhall119yeah, better get questions in now or there won't be time to answer it17:11
komputesQUESTION: Could you elaborate on why you feel Ubuntu Edge is not a good convergence scenario?17:12
_RidgewingMuch Questions #dodge17:12
mhall119komputes: ?17:12
svijQUESTION: If you have a chance to go back in time and change something in Ubuntu, which you can't do now anymore. What would it be?17:12
mariogripQUESTION: will we ever see an Ubuntu watch? (snappy watch :)17:12
kyrofakomputes, wasn't that a hybrid Ubuntu/Android device?17:12
ryanleesipesQUESTION: Have you considered a deep partnership (or acquisition) with companies like System76 in order to bring a line a convergent devices?17:12
ogra_snappy !!17:12
komputesmhall119: she said it as 'clunky', which doesn't explain discontinuing it.17:13
_Ridgewingdpm, We need to speed up question (not just from me) .. as there are so many, and Jane is taking 5 mins per question.17:13
svijQUESTION: Are you coming to UbuCon Summit and UbuCon Europe? ;)17:13
mhall119komputes: oh, you mean Ubuntu on Android17:14
komputesPersonally I still think a dockable computer the size of a phone is very interesting alternative to a laptop.17:14
ogra_komputes, it will come ...17:14
mhall119komputes: that's still planned, it just won't be a phone running Android17:14
mhall119it will be a phone running Ubuntu :)17:14
komputesogra_: perhaps virtualization on top of a phone OS  at some point.17:15
mhall119komputes: so it was the Android use that was clunky17:15
svijQUESTION: What do you say about criticism about Canonical IP policy? Don't you think a bit clear policy would be better for everybody?17:15
ogra_komputes, why would you virtualize ? you can run native ubuntu for both usecases17:15
kyrofakomputes, agreed, but the reason it wasn't a "good convergence scenario," in my mind, is that it isn't just pure Ubuntu17:16
ogra_komputes, but once the phone moved to snappy even running VMs will be possible17:16
ryanleesipesQUESTION: What is Canonical doing as a company to promote the desktop to PC manufacturers?17:16
mhall119QUESTION: This UOS we had a 10 year old wondering what he needs to learn in order to one day work at Canonical, do you have any advice for young students who already have an interest in software and open source?17:20
mariogripQUESTION: Will Canonical ever have own brand phones like the nexus (or lumia)?17:21
_RidgewingQUESTION: Do you agree they'll be a good benefit to a massive #convergence party to celebrate the convergence phone in Q1, 2016 ? Esp. London.17:23
ryanleesipesQUESTION: An Artificial Intelligence background, eh? Are you familiar with the Mycroft project. Any interest in getting something like this available in Unity 8 to operate like Siri or Cortana on their respective platforms? (Shameless self-promotion).17:25
tedgHeh, when the machines take over, will they be running Ubuntu? ;-)17:26
kenvandineof course they will be17:26
frecelhardy heron had the best default wallpaper of all Ubuntu releases17:26
_Ridgewingagreed !17:26
mhall119tedg: "I am what I am, because of who you all were" :)17:27

ogra_the sevilla UDS one was definitely the worst17:30
frecel_Ridgewing: I just have to find someone who will make me a matching brown KDE theme17:30
CheeseBurgryanleesipes: I second your question17:30
_Ridgewingfrecel: www.fiverr.com17:30
frecelhaha17:30
mhall119ogra_: what was that, jaunty or karmic?17:30
ogra_mhall119, i think jaunty, not sure anymore17:31
_Ridgewingfrecel: The artist'll probably v=be from India or Pakistan, thou ;-)17:31
* mhall119 wasn't there, so didn't get that shirt17:31
ogra_you wouldnt want it :)17:31

hwpplayer1What are your standards when you talk to other communites and Linux companies ?17:33
mhall119hwpplayer1: start your questions with QUESTION17:33
ogra_... else they get lost17:33
mhall119also, please be more specific in your question17:33
hwpplayer1QUESTION : What are your standards when you talk to other communites and Linux companies ?17:34
hwpplayer1i'll try for a better question thanks17:35
ryanleesipesQUESTION: Pricing for services like Landscape seemed very much aimed at large enterprises. Have you considered a stripped down, cheaper version of the service for startups, small to medium-sized businesses, and local and state governments?17:36
frecelQUESTION: When talking vendors does Canonical put any emphasis on promoting open/libre software or simply promotes the software supported by Canonical?17:38
=== man is now known as Guest16648
ogra_frecel, whats the difference ?17:38
kyrofafrecel, Canonical software IS open... ?17:38
mhall119frecel: we were able to get MediaTek to release their kernel sources as part of our partnership with Bq, that was a pretty big ddeal17:39
frecelogra_: it is, but I can encourage someone to use Ubuntu without ever mentioning the fact that it's open source17:39
ryanleesipesQUESTION: Will you answer questions you didn't have time to during this, in a blog post or the like after?17:39
_Ridgewingshe needs to-do an AMA !17:40
frecelan AMA in r/Ubuntu would be awesome17:40
Dragosdpm:  Hi17:40
mhall119an AMA is a great idea17:40
Guest16648What us talking you too long to deliver Unity8/Mir17:41
Dragosdesktop gadgets for ubuntu will be cool17:41
Dragosanother thing will be cool will be ubuntu 16.04 LTS using mir instead of X1117:41
michelrQUESTION : beside convergence, can we imagine some kind of equiv of Apple's continuity, specifically 'Handoff'' : instant communication between  a phone and a computer  ?17:41
DragosQUESTION:How do i join canonical?17:42
Guest16648It will be good to know what Dragos said17:42
JasonSinasQUESTION: I have an important question: How the hell do you pronounce Ubuntu?17:42

Guest16648about mir and X1117:42
mhall119Dragos: 16.04 will be using Unity 7 and Xorg, it's already been decided, but there will be a testable version using Mir and Unity 817:43
Dragoswhat happened to Unity 817:43
mhall119Dragos: still under heavy development17:43
Guest16648can anyone please explain the difficulties in releasing a stable Mir?17:43
komputesCheeseBurg: QNX is probably best placed  regarding  self-driving cars.17:43
Dragosoh..17:43
ogra_Dragos, 16.04 has to be supported for 5 years ... you dont want that with a super new and not yet fully tested desktop17:43
mhall119Guest16648: implementing enough features in Unity 8 for it to replace Unity 717:44
_RidgewingQUESTION, Will Jane do a reddit AMA ???17:44

mhall119Guest16648: it's not a small task17:44
dobeymir is "stable"; it's shipping on retail phones.17:45
ogra_Guest16648, it supports so much more things than Xorg and Xorg took many years too17:45

JasonSinas@kyrofa THANK YOU!!!17:49
JasonSinasI was hoping for oo-bun-to...17:49
mhall119French_31: Ubuntu phone apps will already run on the desktop17:49
Guest16648what exactly is a developer? JasonSinas17:49

mhall119JasonSinas: when will we get a Xiaomi Ubuntu Phone?17:53
dobeyGuest16648: however, joining an irc channel and trolling because you for some reason don't like a piece of software, is not developing things :)17:53

dobeymhall119: convince ogra_ to do it for you. i hear whisky helps ;)17:57
ogra_:D17:57
Freya_guyI have another question although it is too late to answer on the video, why does installing gnome-desktop breaks Ubuntu? I have done this twice and it always breaks light-dm and gdm. I am a vapid distro hopper, I remind you. lol17:57
kyrofaAh! Not an LTS?!17:57
popeyCorrect answer!17:57
mhall119maybe JasonSinas can help me port Ubuntu to a Xiaomi phone17:57
