[02:50] <mparillo> The beta-2 download link is now live, and tested from: https://kubuntu.org/?p=3811&preview=true
[02:50] <mparillo> All we need is the official release announcement, and a second set of eyes, and the news can be published.
[03:12] <valorie> looking good
[03:12] <mparillo> But I am running out of steam, and I know you are three time zones behind me and a night owl to boot.
[03:14] <valorie> I will publish once I can get the release announcement link in there
[03:14] <valorie> thank you so much mparillo
[03:14] <valorie> you have been a life-saver
[03:14] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
[03:19] <mparillo> My pleasure, and good night and sleepy {{hugs}} to you.

[06:42] <acheronuk> \o/
[06:43] <valorie> finally!
[06:43] <valorie> this was a bumpy beta2
[06:43] <valorie> better than a bumpy LTS I guess

[07:09] <acheronuk> great. thanks.
[07:37] <ricktimmis[m]> Great news on Beta 2 release, well done everyone
[07:44] <valorie> it was sort of a heavy lift this time
[07:44] <valorie> sooooo many bugs in ubiquity
[07:44] <valorie> I really want to test calamares
[07:47] <valorie> oh gosh, near 1am
[07:47] <valorie> good to hear from you Rick
[07:48] <valorie> niters all and good day to the rest of ya!

[20:10] <valorie> nice!
[20:16] <acheronuk> it's NOT new wallpaper. but I guess that may escape many
[20:16] <valorie> yeah
[20:17] <valorie> nor will it be default at release, or I missed the news flash
[20:17] <valorie> but they have to get *something* wrong
[20:17] <valorie> lol
[20:18] <valorie> and any news is good news
[20:18] <acheronuk> yep. no intention of making it default, though I do like it
[20:18] <acheronuk> whole idea was to just give a few alternatives
[20:18] <acheronuk> and a retro theme to that seemed kool
[20:23] <valorie> yes, that was a genius idea
[20:24] <valorie> ty!
[22:40] <valorie> thanks for doing that FFe paperwork, acheronuk
[22:41] <valorie> although I know you looooove doing it
 no probs
 I don't hate it as much as I once did
[22:41] <valorie> same here with filing BRs
[22:42] <valorie> you get into a routine and hardly notice the pain
