[14:34] <guiverc> the notice mentions 'Ubuntu team is pleased to announce' -- this is usually Ubuntu Release team  --- leave as Ubuntu team??
[14:34] <pleia2> yeah, you don't want to edit their words
[14:36] <guiverc> :)   [my preference anyway; less likely to make a mistake when I don't touch...]
[14:36] <guiverc> thanks pleia2 :)
[14:44] <guiverc> (turns out I have a choice; once as Ubuntu Release Team, once as Ubuntu team)

[23:15] <Bashing-om> guiverc: Had a death in the family last night - I may be scarace this week end . No details yet .
[23:17] <guiverc> sorry to hear that Bashing-om - forget UWN & deal with family (and your own grief); do the things that matter to you, and in your own time...
[23:21] <Bashing-om> well, he "was' married to my middle daughter, and the father of 2 of my grand kids . I personally had little use for him while they were marrierd .. and even less now . But of course the kids and ex are taking it hard .
[23:22] <Bashing-om> guiverc: As you say UWN: 20 minutes here and there :)

[23:48] <guiverc> it doesn't matter much what you felt for him, but you'll emotional-hurt.. because you feel for your daughter & grand-kids, and you'll feel her pain (even if unrecognized at times)..  thanks for telling me, but you do what's best for you & your family (when you need to..)
[23:50] <Bashing-om> guiverc: Ack .. appreciate the sentiments .
