| cmaloney | Good morning | 11:14 |
| cmaloney | So, anyone want to present Ubuntu on Windows for a future MUG Meeting? :) | 11:20 |
| cmaloney | jcastro? | 11:20 |
| wolfger | Ubuntu on Windows? | 11:41 |
| wolfger | I heard bash on Windows, is that what you're talking about? | 11:42 |
| mrgoodcat | yes | 12:00 |
| mrgoodcat | well likely | 12:00 |
| mrgoodcat | i can't speak for cmaloney | 12:00 |
| mrgoodcat | its super interesting though | 12:00 |
| mrgoodcat | the idea of a windows subsytem with ABI compatibility for linux ELF executables | 12:00 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that's what I'm talking about | 12:29 |
| cmaloney | https://github.com/edreamleo/python-to-coffeescript | 12:32 |
| mrgoodcat | python-to-coffeescript-to-es6-to-es5-to-asmjs-to-webassembly | 12:43 |
| cmaloney | heh | 12:56 |
| jcastro | cmaloney: in the fall maybe? I don't think it's available yet | 13:21 |
| cmaloney | Now now now now now. ;) | 13:21 |
| cmaloney | When is it supposed to be available? | 13:21 |
| jcastro | they said "a few weeks" | 13:22 |
| jcastro | but didn't really commit to a date | 13:22 |
| cmaloney | so is that a beta in a few weeks? | 13:22 |
| * cmaloney apparently doesn't want to read press releases. ;) | 13:22 | |
| jrwren | not much to present either. its a standard ubuntu image ;] | 13:23 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 13:23 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: if you really want details, I just retweeted a post by @katco_ with a link to video which goes pretty good into details. | 13:42 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Not seeing the tweer | 13:50 |
| cmaloney | tweet | 13:50 |
| cmaloney | Oh, yay... Twitter's Web INterface is goofed up. | 13:51 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Thanks. Downloading the video. | 13:51 |
| cmaloney | I'm sure this will come up at MUG so someone should have some info on it. ;) | 13:52 |
| cmaloney | it's not every day the seas part and hell freezes over. | 13:52 |
| jrwren | indeed. | 13:53 |
| jcastro | yeah, it will come as a windows 10 update at some point | 14:18 |
| jcastro | from watching the videos they've said "a few weeks" and it for sure is going to be part of the summer update | 14:19 |
| jcastro | so I would assume beta in a few weeks, with final in the summer | 14:19 |
| jrwren | someone said as soon as a few days, if you are a windows insider and on the fast right or something? | 14:27 |
| hpucks | so this is just going to be a bash shell in Win10? | 14:34 |
| hpucks | sort of Cygwinish. | 14:34 |
| jrwren | its ubuntu, the exactly same root tarball as cloud images used in all the public clouds. | 14:36 |
| jrwren | cygwin recompiles everything to windows CEOFF binaries. | 14:36 |
| hpucks | huh. interesting. | 14:37 |
| hpucks | I have a Win10 partition but I barely boot into it anymore. Usually just go straight to Ubuntu. Might be something interesting to play with but not all that useful for me since I spend the majority of my time in Ubuntu anyhow. | 14:41 |
| jrwren | yup. | 14:43 |
| jrwren | its primarily a developer tool. They are really targetting the ruby, python, nodejs programmers who struggle to get things to work on windows. | 14:44 |
| jrwren | There is a giant group of dev (I used to be one) who like to use tools in windows, but also target those platforms. | 14:44 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, this is not for the Ubuntu / Linux faithful | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | more for those who are stuck between both worlds. | 14:55 |
| jrwren | esp corporate types who are forced to run windows | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I was thinking that this morning | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | although it's for corp types that allow external software loads. | 14:56 |
| hpucks | ^ | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | but if MS is providing it then there's an air of authority | 14:56 |
| jrwren | yup :[ | 14:56 |
| hpucks | Yeah, we aren't allowed to load anything on our laptops here. | 14:57 |
| cmaloney | I'm hoping it's more of a bridge for folks to target so Linux games continue to show up but with less friction | 14:57 |
| cmaloney | Though who wants to bet this will be utilized as some sort of cross-platform malware delivery system if it's installed by default? :) | 14:58 |
| jrwren | msft just open sourced the closed source parts of xamarin | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | Nardelli took the right bits from Sun Microsystems | 15:55 |
| jrwren | WAT? | 15:55 |
