| <lophyte> mylesbraithwaite: what did you guys do last night? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> talked about sfd | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> dave has a really cool idea | |
| <lophyte> whats "Easier to find Ubuntu Toronto" about? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> oh one of the new guys who came couldn't easyily find ubuntu toronto | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> thought google or ubuntu | |
| <lophyte> anyone have any suggestions about that? I don't know how much more easy we can make it | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> just put our name on everything i guess | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> if you search ubuntu toronto in google you get ubuntu-toronto.org | |
| <lophyte> exactly | |
| <lophyte> we're linked to from ubuntu.ca | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i don't really know he just had some problems finding us | |
| <lophyte> did he have any suggestions on making it easier? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i think we have done everything we can at this time | |
| <lophyte> so he didn't... | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> no | |
| <lophyte> okay | |
| <lophyte> yeah I think we've done as much as we can | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> we are on clue metalug and tlug what else | |
| <lophyte> ubuntu.ca, its not hard to find us on google | |
| <lophyte> multiple digg articles referring to us | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> there was also some discussion about ubuntu within the greater open source | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> community | |
| <lophyte> what was discussed about that? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> we should reconize the greater open source community not just ubuntu | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> just more working together | |
| <lophyte> hehe.. we've already established that ;) | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i know | |
| <lophyte> I was supposed to meet with Evan last night before the meeting actually | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> whos evan? | |
| <lophyte> executive director of CLUE, one of the most outspoken people who was against OCC | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> we also try to do a one line pitch about linux | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i meant ubuntu | |
| <lophyte> that's a good idea | |
| <lophyte> CLUE/GTALUG will have a joint booth at IT360 and has offered to allow Ubuntu Toronto to have a presence there | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> some thing like "Ubuntu Linux, applications for humans" | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> something else | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> we also think that we should call it "Ubuntu Linux" | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> what is clue? | |
| <lophyte> linux.ca | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i know that are they a linux community | |
| <lophyte> they mostly promote linux/foss in government | |
| <rexbron> lophyte: I am trying to get my Uni newspaper to do a review of linux, after their article bashing vista | |
| <lophyte> cool | |
| <lophyte> good idea :) | |

| <jausk> Hello | |
| <rexbron> hey | |
| <lophyte> whats that? | |
| <rexbron> This Film is not Yet Rated | |
| <Burgwork> mylesbraithwaite: it is NOT Ubuntu Linux | |
| <Burgwork> it is Ubuntu | |
| <Burgwork> or Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings | |
| <Tourudactyl> Burgwork: Hey, I imagine you really really want your book back by this point. Are you going to the next VLUG meeting? | |
| <Burgwork> Tourudactyl: I will be there at the end of the meeting | |
| <Tourudactyl> I won't be there for any of the meeting, but from 7-9 on that Tuesday I'll be working in the computer lab in Clearihue, so if you don't mind dropping by there, I'll be sure to have it. | |
| <Tourudactyl> 5-9. actually, now that I think about it, but if you're going for the end of the meeting, you probably don't care about that. | |
| <Burgwork> Tourudactyl: I am in clearihue at that point as well, in my arabic course | |
| <Tourudactyl> Oh, that's convenient. As it happens, I have that shift on all of the Tuesdays between next week and the 13th, so stop by on any one. | |
| <Tourudactyl> Maybe let me know which one and about when, so I can try to be in the vicinity of the front desk instead of wandering around. | |
| <Burgwork> next week works | |
| <Burgwork> I am in A201, so I can come down at 9 | |
| <Tourudactyl> Okay, I will have the book. I have done nothing with it, but that shouild be neither surprising nor distressing. | |
| <Burgwork> excellent |
