[02:03] <nhaines> I created all the things for ubuntu-wallpapers-xenial and my merge proposal was accepted!  \o/
[02:12] <pleia2> I also enjoyed http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-16-04-lts-xenial-xerus-default-wallpapers-revealed-gallery-502692.shtml
[02:12] <darthrobot`> Title: [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Default Wallpapers Revealed]
[02:12] <pleia2> "Ubuntu project member Nathan Haines has just informed us about the initial availability of the default wallpapers for the upcoming Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system."
[02:12] <pleia2> :D
[02:13] <pleia2> it said you picked the winners, but I'm just glad it didn't say you worked for Canonical, small victories
[02:21] <nhandler> nhaines: At least they got your name right. seb128 thought I made the change :)
[02:23] <pleia2> nha* is a problem
[05:10] <nhaines> pleia, nhandler: haha, well, I sent the tip to OMG Ubuntu and Softpedia myself.  I *am* rather impressed that they have remembered I'm an "Ubuntu project member" even if I wonder if I should ask them to drop the "project" bit.  :)
[05:12] <nhaines> I sort of picked the winners, although this time around, taking all images and eliminating all uneligible images (bad licensing or watermarks, etc.) left 10 photos and 2 wallpapers which was my goal, so there was no actual agency involved.  :)
[05:15] <nhaines> (That is to say, after ranking submission by number of votes, I had enough from the top three rankings to fill the required number of images.)
[05:19] <nhaines> Next cycle I'll work on getting them to say I've "announced" the winners.  ;)
[20:56] <nhaines> Yay, SpaceX landed their Falcon 9 first stage onto their drone ship!  It was a beautiful landing.  :)
[21:18] <akk> Woo!
