| <mhz> hey all | |
| <erdalronahi> Hi | |
| <mhz> jono: are you still out there? | |
| <erdalronahi> Hi, the Kurdish team has a "success story" with mixed emotions: | |
| <erdalronahi> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu_in_Diyarbakir | |
| <erdalronahi> We had a big Ubuntu celebration, but afterwards a criminal prosecution | |
| <nejode> ¿¿¿why??? | |
| <erdalronahi> because Kurdish is not an official language in Turkey | |
| <erdalronahi> and the Mayor of the town said he would use Kurdish Ubuntu in his office | |
| <nejode> ...and the turkish officials say it has to be turkish...sure... | |
| <erdalronahi> Turkish authorities have a very special attitude towards the Kurdish language... | |
| <nejode> I can imagine... | |
| <effie_jayx> wow | |
| <effie_jayx> erdalronahi, ARE YOU GUYS OK THOUGH? | |
| <erdalronahi> We are fine, | |
| <erdalronahi> as far as we can see the mayor is the one who's getting the blame | |
| <nejode> one of the good things about Ubuntu... great language support | |
| <erdalronahi> Yeah, that's how WE see it | |
| <erdalronahi> effie_jayx, ten years ago we would all have been dead after such an event | |
| <erdalronahi> today it's just a prosecution, threatening with prison, | |
| <erdalronahi> hopefully resulting in a fine | |
| <effie_jayx> erdalronahi, only because of language | |
| <erdalronahi> language and cultural rights are at the core of the conflict, unfortunately | |
| <nejode> erdalronahi: until you people don't have your own country... | |
| <erdalronahi> well, we hope that peaceful events like this help to solve the problem | |
| <nejode> I hope too... | |
| <erdalronahi> there has been a lot of support in the Turkish open-source community | |
| <nejode> that's very good, because unfortunately sometimes open source communities are very political... | |
| <erdalronahi> Well, the Turkish one is divided on the issue | |
| <nejode> well, division seems to be the norm sometimes, at least in ubuntu-ve we try to stay clear of politics... | |
| <erdalronahi> Hm, you do also live in an area that is all but calm | |
| <effie_jayx> erdalronahi, and believe we have elections tomorrow | |
| <effie_jayx> erdalronahi, subdivisions have never been so bitter | |
| <effie_jayx> erdalronahi, but ubuntu brings us together | |
| <erdalronahi> I wish I could say that for the Middle East, too | |
| <nejode> erdalronahi: it's not me... | |
| <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, are you there | |
| <effie_jayx> ? | |
| <erdalronahi> Good night/day/whatever | |
| <Admiral_Chicago> that story is ridiculous | |
| <Admiral_Chicago> but doesn't suprise me | |
| <effie_jayx> yeah | |
| <effie_jayx> very | |

| <jono> jenda: pong | |
| <jenda> Hey there. | |
| <jenda> I wanted to ask an opinion | |
| <jenda> or, perhaps - an official stance :) | |
| <jenda> I attended the Linux Weekend of the CZLUG yesterday, and had a short talk on accelerated desktops, then we went to a pub for a few beers and discussed Linux and things related. | |
| <jenda> One of the folks there runs a printer, and I mentioned the stuff I do - the posters, stickers, etc. | |
| <jenda> He became interested, and it seems he would like to create Ubuntu stuff professionally, commercially. | |
| <jenda> How would that work? | |
| <jenda> oops | |
| <jenda> jono^ | |
| <elkbuntu> you didnt miss anything | |
| <jenda> ツ | |
| * elkbuntu puts a dollar on someone being on the phone | |
| <jenda> hehe | |
| <jono> jenda: well he would need to seek trademark permission but he can just do his thing | |
| <jenda> I ain't betting my hard-paypal'd money :) | |
| <jenda> jono: and if the logo goes unaltered, is the permission still required? | |
| <jenda> For exapmle, he'd like to re-print the posters I made | |
| <jenda> I already had them approved. | |
| <jono> jenda: good question, I would need to check | |
| <jenda> ok | |
| <jono> I think you can just go ahead | |
| <mdke> if you read the Trademark information page, it will tell you | |
| <jenda> I'm reading it. | |
| <mdke> you need permission even where the mark is unaltered | |
| <jenda> BTW, it needs serious revision - bugs to the regular spot? | |
| <mdke> yes | |
