05:00   jono    right
05:00   jono    who is here for the community question time?
05:00   d1uluv2h8       i am :)
05:00   f0ster52        _|
05:00   boredandblogging        me, but I have no questions, just listening
05:01   Belutz  i am
05:00   jono    ok, ask your questions in #ubuntu-meeting-questions and prefix it with QUESTION so I can see it :)
05:00   jono    lets get going! :)

05:02   jono    <f0ster52> QUESTION: will you ever forgive my english? :/, ok, now the real one: Talking about the last Dell declarations on Linux preinstalled on consumer machines. What is/will Ubuntu doing/do to become the chosen distro (if will ever be one)? Other comments? Any thoughts?
05:02   jono    f0ster52: course I will forgive your english :)
05:02   marchesantacater        ok
05:03   jono    f0ster52: this is not something I can really give too much info on as I don't work on it, but we are hoping Ubuntu will be involved in Dell's choices
05:03   jono    I can't say anymore than that really
05:03   jono    thats a business team thing

05:03   jono    <poningru> QUESTION: Any ideas what the name of feisty+1 is going to be?
05:04   jono    poningru: no idea, we will have to see - I am sure we all have our own fave ideas :)

05:04   jono    <Belutz> QUESTION: will the approved LoCo team will be eligible for one box of Feisty CD's like we did on Edgy?
05:04   jono    Belutz: yes :)

05:04   jono    <ivoks> QUESTION: do we know for sure when next LTS is going to happen? :)
05:04   Belutz  jono, that's good news :D
05:04   jono    ivoks: nothing is confirmed right now, but an estimation of Feisty + 2 is kicking around
05:05   jono    ivoks: but we hope to have something confirmed soon

05:05   jono    <d1uluv2h8> QUESTION: will the easy codec installation and that nice proprietary video driver installation utility go into kubuntu too?
05:05   jono    d1uluv2h8: as far as I am aware, the easy codec installation is something that could go into kubuntu - it would just need the GUI writing for it - it happens at a gstreamer level
05:10   Hobbsee jono: can i correct you?
05:10   jono    Hobbsee: sure
05:10   Hobbsee [01:05]  <jono> d1uluv2h8: as far as I am aware, the easy codec installation is something that could go into kubuntu - it would just need the GUI writing for it - it happens at a gstreamer level  <-- kubuntu tends to use xine-based stuff, not gstreamer, so it's not a straight port.
05:11   jono    Hobbsee: right, thanks for the clarification :)
05:11   Hobbsee that was all :)
05:11   d1uluv2h8       hm.. what about proprietary driver installation ?
05:12   ivoks   not going to happen for feisty

05:06   jono    <Belutz> QUESTION: When the LoCo team can begin to order Feisty CD's?
05:06   jono    Belutz: you would need to contact shipit for a specific answer, but I guess after Feisty is released

05:07   jono    <poningru> QUESTION: will lp.net be opened soonish?
05:07   jono    launchpad.net
05:07   jono    poningru: you mean when will lp be open source?
05:07   poningru        right
05:07   ivoks   never
05:08   ivoks   it's a service, it can't be open sourced
05:08   poningru        ...
05:08   mc44    sabdfl commented on a comment in his blog about it
05:08   poningru        oh? /me reads
05:08   jono    poningru: right now there is no set date, but LP will certainly be open source at some point, unfortunatly there is no indication of the metric behind that right now
05:08   ivoks   open sourcing LP would destroy nature of LP

05:08   jono    <Belutz> QUESTION: my ubuntu membership is about to expired, what should I do to extend my membership?
05:08   jono    Belutz: re-apply :)
05:08   Belutz  wew
05:09   Belutz  and there's a chance that i won't get an extended membership?
05:09   jono    afaik...
05:09   jono    you may want to check with the CC
05:09   jono    Belutz: I think its likely you will
05:09   Belutz  jono, ok :)
05:09   elkbuntu        i think they were discussing some form of rollcall procedure
05:09   jono    unless you really didny do anything useful :)
05:09   elkbuntu        just to check that you still exist and still care
05:09   Belutz  ic ic, that's a good procedure

05:12   jono    <mc44> ZOMG QUESTION!!!11!: Will feisty+1 be named G* G*, I* I* or something else entirely?
05:12   jono    mc44: I think its going to be a G* G*
05:12   jono    although we do have grump
05:12   jono    grumpy
05:12   mc44    indeed
05:13   bordy   or glorious gator ;)

05:14   jono    <Belutz> QUESTION: is there a chance that you travel around the world to visit every LoCo Teams?
05:14   jono    Belutz: I would love to, but with a loco in nearly every country, it is difficult, but I am trying to get out to as many teams as possible
05:14   jono    Belutz: if you want me there, mail me :)
=== Belutz wish ogra can come to Indonesia to support edubuntu :D
05:15   Belutz  jono, ok :)
05:16   ogra    Belutz, surely at some point ... the whole of asia is still missing on my travelling list :)
05:16   elkbuntu        Belutz, concoct an event and get jono to speak at it. you'll need essential items like beer and wigs

05:16   Belutz  jono, what beer do you drink? :D
05:17   jono    Belutz: depends which country - Carling in the UK :)
05:17   Hobbsee Belutz: he drinks all of them.  in sequence :P
05:17   jono    heh
05:17   Hobbsee until all the beer runs out
05:17   Belutz  lol
05:17   elkbuntu        poningru, http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=906
05:17   jono    Hobbsee: are you trying to incinuate I drink too much? :)
05:17   Hobbsee jono: no, no, not at all...  *g*
05:17   jono    elkbuntu: heh
05:17   jono    Hobbsee: :)
05:17   mc44    jono: Carling? /me sighs
05:17   jono    mc44: yeah yeah, but I like it :)

05:17   Belutz  if we invite you, do we have to cover all the expenses?
05:17   Belutz  :D
05:17   jono    Belutz: where are you based?
05:18   Belutz  jono, Indonesia, South East Asia
05:18   jono    Belutz: if you could get sponsorship to cover some expenses that would be useful, but Canonical would no doubt pick up some of the tab
05:18   Belutz  Actually i have met with the mighty sabdfl :D
05:18   Belutz  jono, noted :)

05:20   jono    <lotusleaf> QUESTION: Has any (known) musician ever been contacted to see if they would like to include samples of their work towards sound effects / jingles for Ubuntu?
05:20   jono    lotusleaf: I think we have talked with some musos - but nothing concrete has happened

05:20   jono    <lotusleaf> QUESTION: Can we expect any future events with Ubuntu/Google in California?
05:20   jono    we love Google, so very possibly :)
05:21   elkbuntu        yeah google does rock
05:21   poningru        >:(

05:21   jono    <Belutz> QUESTION: What if Ubuntu collaborate with Google Singapore to conduct events across South East Asia? :)
05:22   jono    Belutz: who knows? we (Canonical) like to form partnerships to help spread Ubuntu :)
05:22   Belutz  wew

05:22   jono    ok
05:22   jono    so, I think we are done
