| <Zuph> Are there any pay-for music download services (a la iTunes) for Linux? | |
| <zenwhen_> magnarunes has an amarok plugin | |
| <zenwhen_> but all magnatunes artits suck | |
| <zenwhen_> imo | |
| <zenwhen_> artists* | |
| <Zuph> :( | |
| <zenwhen_> so... yeah | |
| <Zuph> What was the old title of Maximum PC? | |
| <zenwhen_> since the music industry will not provide us a method of buying music using linux they are giving us the go ahead to steal it | |
| <zenwhen_> IMO | |
| <zenwhen_> :) | |
| <Zuph> hah | |
| <Zuph> Anyone seen pictures of the new ATI R600? | |
| <zenwhen_> huge | |
| <Zuph> Yeah | |
| <Zuph> Reminds me of the Bitchin'Fast3D 2000 | |
| <Zuph> http://www.planetdognine.com/features/humor/files/bfast.jpg | |
| <Zuph> Hmm... I'm having trouble getting to the repositories. Anyone else? | |
| <Zuph> specifically us.archive.ubuntu.com | |
| <comfurtn> anyone around? | |
| <etank> not for long | |
| <etank> going to bed now | |
| <Zuph> here and there | |
| <etank> Zuph: hows it going | |
| <Zuph> Pretty good. Yourself? | |
| <etank> so so | |
| <etank> i've been working on the team web site | |
| <Zuph> cool | |
| <Zuph> coming along? | |
| <etank> someone posted a drupal theme to the wiki | |
| <etank> here is what I have so far. http://74.140.129.0/ | |
| <Zuph> that looks really good | |
| <etank> any suggestions on what you would like to see on it? | |
| <etank> it also has the module installed that lets members log in and have a blog hosted on the site | |
| <Zuph> Maybe a quick link to meeting transcripts in the left column? | |
| <etank> hows that | |
| <Zuph> Aside from the misspelling of "meeting," great :) | |
| <Zuph> Although as meetings become more numerous, we may have to link to just a root page for "meeting logs" | |
| <etank> misspelling fixed | |
| <etank> i was thinking of linking the 5 most recent meetings | |
| <etank> just doing a fifo | |
| <Zuph> that would work. | |
| <Zuph> If you had to evaluate an open source application for enterprise production development, what kinds of criteria would you use to judge it? | |
| <etank> stability, activity of developers, how many people use it. | |
| <Zuph> Right now I'm going with Longevity, Community, Real World applications, Release Activity, Security and Project Goals | |
| <etank> that sounds good too. | |
| <etank> all of which are very important | |
| <Zuph> yeah | |
| <Zuph> Basically, judge each of those criteria based on a weighted linear sum, and you'll get a score from 100-1000 that should give you the fitness of any given open source project. | |
| <Zuph> Presuming, of course, that the evaluator is objective. | |
| <etank> objectivity is the key | |
| <etank> hey, can you get to the teams sub-forum on ubuntuforums.org? | |
| <etank> my firefox will not let me open it for some reason. | |
| <Zuph> Yes I Can | |
| <etank> it is the only link on the page that is having the issue too | |
| <Zuph> Oh, on the website | |
| <Zuph> yes I can | |
| <Zuph> Yeah, objectivity is key given that you can't assign a math model to most of those criteria | |
| <Zuph> And none of them would be easy to assign a math model to. | |
| <etank> I can see where that would be difficult | |
| <Zuph> So I'm just going to say "please me objective" | |
| <Zuph> *be | |
| <montgoej> etank: how ya doing? | |
| <etank> OK | |
| <montgoej> good good | |
| <etank> take a look at this and let me know what ya think http://74.140.129.0/ | |
| <etank> web site idea for the team | |
| <montgoej> ok | |
| <montgoej> looks pretty nice | |
| <montgoej> I like the way it's got the same feel as the official Ubuntu site | |
| <etank> me too | |
| <montgoej> one of the guys that I gave an Ubuntu CD to at school wasn't comfortable with installing it himself, as he's never messed with installing OS's so he's bringing an old computer to school in a few days that I can install it on | |
| <montgoej> the other guy wasn't at school so I dunno if he installed it or not | |
| <montgoej> oh yeah, I've noticed that Thunderbird seems to think that the messages you send out on the mailing list are spam... |
