| IrcsomeBot1 | <RikMills> @Sick_Rimmit What would any proceeds be paid to? The Ubuntu community fund, or Kubuntu account? | 09:18 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Good question, I feel it should be the Kubuntu account, but I will make sure to ask. | 09:41 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <RikMills> @Sick_Rimmit, So do I, quite strongly. To be clear, I mean the one that Jonathan Riddell still administers. | 11:35 |
| Mamarok | yep, should definitely go the the Kubuntu account | 16:09 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ahoneybun> @RikMills needs some new hardware to build cool stuff on. | 18:40 |
| valorie | if there was any public accounting, I'd be fine with it going to the ubuntu community fund | 19:53 |
| valorie | however, there is zero or close to it | 19:53 |
| valorie | I ask for close $2000 each year for airfare and hotels | 19:53 |
| valorie | and have not been turned down yet | 19:54 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Hello council.. Today we concluded a call in regard to the Kubuntu laptop. Canonical are providing MSM the company proposing to sell the laptop, with a trademark agreement. | 21:05 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> I have been working with Mike from MSM to draft a short term agreement, which I have currently as a google document, which I will post a link for shortly. | 21:06 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> I have left the details of the laptop from pages 3 onwards for easy reference, however I would see these becoming two separate documents prior to any authorisation by the council. | 21:07 |

| valorie | sounds like a good idea to split them | 21:23 |
| valorie | thank so much for taking the initiative in this, Rick | 21:24 |
| valorie | wow, $48 each | 21:24 |
| valorie | that seems generous | 21:24 |
| valorie | first point under "Reasoning" Vasty > vastly | 21:26 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> These are expensive laptops, that are designed as direct competitors the $3400 MacBook Pro | 21:26 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> 👀 | 21:26 |
| valorie | "The MBP keyboard has 0.2mm of travel and costs $800 to replace if dust blocks a key" -- this is a sales point? | 21:26 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> MBP = MacBook Pro | 21:27 |
| valorie | oh | 21:27 |
| valorie | it should say MacBook Pro each time | 21:27 |
| valorie | really | 21:27 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Its a competitor critique, although personally I see no point in making the comparison | 21:27 |
| valorie | well, it should spell out MacBook each time imo | 21:28 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Yes, I agree I'll Global replace | 21:28 |
| valorie | hmmm, their first linked doc says "Kubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative" | 21:30 |
| valorie | we are not a derivative | 21:30 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Ooo let me look at that | 21:30 |
| valorie | https://mmikowski.github.io/k19-10-guide/ | 21:30 |
| valorie | nice guide to setting up a VM though | 21:31 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Agreed | 21:32 |
| valorie | that is a very complete guide though, although I disagree with some of the choices | 21:38 |
| valorie | and he has some typos | 21:39 |
| valorie | copius highly currated software > copious highly curated | 21:39 |
| valorie | for instance | 21:39 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Could fork it, and issue a PR 😃 | 21:40 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <tsimonq2> Some of the objective specifics are too vague, I'll comment later | 21:41 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sick_Rimmit> Thanks @tsimonq2 | 21:42 |
