| <effie_jayx> Zizou, english here :D | |
| <Zizou> effie_jayx, sup!, i just got here, home | |
| <Zizou> effie_jayx, i was at work | |
| <Zizou> effie_jayx, so, what's going on? | |
| <yharrow> also, how do I get my team approved? | |
| <yharrow> nm | |
| <yharrow> found it | |
| <pochu> yharrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved | |
| <effie_jayx> yharrow, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ ;) | |
| <yharrow> thanks man | |
| <yharrow> I should search before I ask | |
| <yharrow> ;) | |
| <yharrow> also | |
| <yharrow> we aer not yet approved | |
| <yharrow> so would you recommend getting cds from shipit/ | |
| <yharrow> and if we do, is there any way to get a faster shipment for being a team | |
| <pochu> yharrow: you can get dapper cd's for free | |
| <yharrow> ok, but can we get them faster than a few weeks | |
| <yharrow> like is there any kind of special provision made for teams | |
| <pochu> yharrow: sure, you can burn them yourself! :) | |
| <pochu> hehe | |
| <yharrow> lol | |
| <pochu> yharrow: I think not, sorry :( | |
| <yharrow> oh ok.. thanks man.. I guess in the meanwhile if we want it immediately well make do with burned copies | |
| <yharrow> :) | |
| <yharrow> ubuntu is good any way | |
| <yharrow> raw pressed or dowloaded | |
| <yharrow> flavors always good to me | |
| <yharrow> ;) | |
| <yharrow> wouldve been convenient though | |
| <pochu> yharrow: where are you from? :) | |
| <yharrow> Im from New York :) | |
| <yharrow> the so-called big apple | |
| <yharrow> ;Z) | |
| <yharrow> pochu, how bout you ? | |
| <pochu> yharrow: spain :) | |
| <yharrow> nice? | |
| <yharrow> how do you like it there? | |
| <pochu> yharrow: I've heard something about the new york loco.. | |
| <yharrow> :) | |
| <pochu> you had a meeting recently, hadn't you? | |
| <pochu> :) | |
| <yharrow> pochu really? | |

| <elkbuntu> yharrow, do you need the cds for a conference or something like that? | |
| <yharrow> ya well we plan to give them out at a meeting | |
| <yharrow> but were only 10 guys | |
| <yharrow> shouldnt say only since 10 motivated ppl can do an enormous amount | |
| <yharrow> but yeah | |
| <yharrow> there are 10 of us ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> hmm.. that wouldnt cut it for the conf pack :-/ | |
| <yharrow> ya. I guess not.. how many ppl do I need for a conf though? | |
| <pochu> Seveas: sorry :( | |
| <Seveas> pochu, np :) | |
| <pochu> wrong channel :S | |
| <pochu> Seveas: better here? :) | |
| <Seveas> sure | |
| <yharrow> btw we plan on giving out 1k cds within the next couple months, so we ordered them just now by shipit | |
| <pochu> Seveas: should I do anything appart of being a member? :) | |
| <pochu> I read on the wiki that I should contact you | |
| <Seveas> yeah, you should poke m | |
| <pochu> :) | |
| <pochu> heya! :) | |
| <Seveas> but send me an email with your lp id | |
| <Seveas> I'm tired | |
| <pochu> hehe | |
| <pochu> np :) | |
| <pochu> Seveas: seveas@ub? | |
| <Seveas> it's 2:30 here | |
| <pochu> hehe | |
| <Seveas> dennis@u.c | |
| <pochu> Seveas: also here :) | |
| <pochu> ok | |
| <yharrow> I got a question about getting an ubuntu subdomain | |
| <yharrow> anyone think they can help? | |
| <pochu> Seveas: done :) | |
| <pochu> yharrow: what type of subdomain? | |
| <yharrow> like newyork.ubuntu.com or something | |
| <etank> you need to be an approved team first | |
| <pochu> yharrow: you may prefer ny.ubuntu-us.com | |
| <yharrow> is that what most US ppl do? | |
| <pochu> yharrow: yeah :) | |
| <yharrow> ok then | |
| <yharrow> but yeah | |
| <pochu> yharrow: I think :) I'm not american :) | |
| <yharrow> one of our guys posted to launchpad | |
| <etank> i just went through this with kentucky.ubuntu-us.org myself | |
| <etank> we are not approved either | |
| <yharrow> and he says that they told him he has to be official or something | |
| <yharrow> etank, yeah thats what he said | |
| <yharrow> etank, congratulations! | |
| <etank> congrats on what? | |
| <yharrow> etank the subdomain | |
| <yharrow> :) | |
| <etank> we didnt get it though :( | |
| <yharrow> oh shucks | |
| <etank> yeah | |
| <yharrow> i thought you were saying you got ti | |
| <yharrow> even though you werent approved | |
| <etank> i had noticed that some teams that were not on the official approved list had been able to get a subdomain as well | |
| <yharrow> my team mate was teeling me that he saw ppl who got approved event though they were not official | |
| <yharrow> ya | |
| <etank> i think that they are changing it so that you have to be approved now though | |
| <pochu> yharrow: you can poke atoponce, since he is the ubuntu-ny mentor | |
| <pochu> yharrow: he will probably be able to help you a lot :) | |
| <etank> the suggestion that we got was to do work on the forums and wiki and build up our team that way | |
| <yharrow> pochu thanks man :) | |
| <yharrow> will do | |
| <pochu> yharrow: he is in the channel now :) | |
| <pochu> though he seems to be away :) | |
| <pochu> [atoponce] idle 08:08:09, signon: Wed Feb 7 00:37:48 | |
| <etank> if he can help then i will hop in on that discussion. | |
| <etank> he is the kentucky mentor as well | |
| <pochu> etank: :) | |
| <yharrow> etank, wanna set up a discussion with him , or should we send seperate emails? | |
| <etank> yharrow: lets set up a discussion. I would not want him to have to answer multiple emails about the same subject | |
| <yharrow> etank, my thoughts exactly ;) | |
| <yharrow> etank, hmm some kind of chat? | |
| <yharrow> etank, or email written on behalf of both of us? | |
| <yharrow> I could do that | |
| <etank> lets do that | |
| <yharrow> which ? | |
| <etank> my email is ericlake@gmail.com | |
| <yharrow> etank, ok, btw what is your teams wiki page url? | |
| <etank> if he would like to have a chat session then we could arrange that in the email and meet here | |
| <pochu> Seveas: if you need anything else from me, just tell me :) | |
| <etank> we are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KentuckyTeam https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kentucky and we have a spot on the forums as well | |
| <etank> right now we are setting up a web site at ubuntu-kentucky.org | |
| <etank> though we never did hear back from the trademark people about using that as a domain name | |
| <yharrow> etank similar boat here | |
| <yharrow> ubuntuny.com | |
| <Seveas> yharrow, etank: please keep it consistent and use ny.ubuntu-us.org and kt.ububuntu-us.org (assuming kt is short for kentucky) | |
| <pochu> s/ububuntu/ubuntu/ | |
| <pochu> :) | |
| <Seveas> meh | |
| <Seveas> I said I am tired | |
| <pochu> Seveas: ^_^ | |
| <etank> Seveas: we can not use the sub domain name of something.ubuntu-us.org unless we are an approved site | |
| <etank> s/site/LoCo | |
| <etank> we have tried that with a launchpad ticket and were denied | |
| <Seveas> then put something on a temporary domain but don't waste money on your own domainname | |
| <Seveas> it's not hard to become approved | |
| <Seveas> <Seveas> nalioth, please cloak pochu | |
| <Seveas> <nalioth> cloak engaged | |
| <pochu> Seveas: ty :) | |
| <etank> I read that we first need to have about 3 activities to become approved | |
| <pochu> Seveas: now should I just restart? :) | |
| <pochu> etank: are you sure you need to become approved to get state.ubuntu-us.org? | |
| <yharrow> yeah I read that too | |
| <yharrow> I wish we could remain consistent | |
| <etank> that is what the the launchpad ticket said | |
| <yharrow> I hate inconsintencies with a pasion | |
| <pochu> yharrow: that would be fine | |
| <yharrow> *passion | |
| <etank> consistency is why i wanted to use kentucky.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <yharrow> etank, I think it would be kt.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <etank> here is the ticket with response https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+ticket/3684 | |
| <yharrow> but yeah | |
| <Seveas> pochu, no | |
| <etank> ky.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <Seveas> --- [pochu] (n=pochu@ubuntu/member/pochu) : Emilio Pozuelo | |
| <pochu> oh :) | |
| <etank> I was using the full state name because of a blog post that atoponce made | |
| <pochu> :) | |
| <pochu> Seveas: ty :) | |
| <etank> that and i have been following the Ohio team and they have ohio.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <yharrow> what do you guys think the chances are of getting the subdomain | |
| <etank> yharrow: we are even willing to host it ourselves | |
| <yharrow> etank, yeah thats what were doing now | |
| <etank> we just need the dns to point to our box | |
| <yharrow> hosting it ourselves | |
| <yharrow> so would be no different | |
| <yharrow> only the name | |
| <yharrow> the domain | |
| <etank> yup | |
| <pochu> yharrow, etank: from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IllinoisTeam | |
| <pochu> Once at least 25+ members are on board, Ubuntu Illinois will receive | |
| <pochu> Website (i.e., [WWW] http://il.ubuntu-us.org) | |
| <etank> but it also says Official team status | |
| <pochu> maybe the requirements are the team members number? | |
| <etank> we have 31 members at this moment | |
| <pochu> etank: you need more than members to get approved | |
| <yharrow> am a little behind with numbers but we are very active | |
| <etank> we are active too | |
| <yharrow> we have at least a third of the team working every day | |
| <etank> on the forums, weekly meetings, mailing lists | |
| <yharrow> and almost everyone at least once every other day | |
| <yharrow> yeah same here | |
| <yharrow> weekly meetings too | |
| <yharrow> anywho. | |
| <yharrow> dunno what to say | |
| <etank> we are planning a release party, install fest, and starting a charity project | |
| <pochu> that's nice :) | |
| <etank> and teaming up with a local LUG | |
| <yharrow> etank, we should prolly just send an email out to atoponce | |
| <etank> do you think that is enough to be approved? | |
| <etank> i don't want to jump the gun on the approval process | |
| <yharrow> one sec... | |
| <yharrow> my team mate told me he got an email on the subject | |
| <yharrow> and is following up | |
| <yharrow> I told him to forward it to me | |
| <etank> i only want to try for approval once we feel that it is going to be approved for sure | |
| <yharrow> etank, yeah I generally have the same attitude | |
| <yharrow> etank, I feel being rejected even once is worse than not being official | |
| <pochu> etank: ohio was recently aprroved (this week) | |
| <etank> yharrow: too true | |
| <pochu> etank: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ApprovalApplication | |
| <etank> i saw that | |
| <pochu> etank: you can poke Vorian :) | |
| <yharrow> whos vorian? | |
| <etank> Vorian is the team lead for the Ohio LoCo | |
| <Admiral_Chicago> iirc, ohio became an approved team at last CC meeting | |
| <yharrow> oh ok | |
| <etank> yharrow: i like the look of the NY team wiki pages | |
| <etank> very nice | |
| <yharrow> etank, thanks man, took alot of hard work ;) | |
| <yharrow> our team has been working non stop for more than a week now. its amazing how many ppl there are in ny who love ubuntu | |
| <yharrow> etank your wiki is pretty nice too :) | |
| <etank> ours isnt original at all | |
| <etank> i looked at someone elses because i didnt know how to use wiki | |
| <etank> now that i know more i am thinking about redoing it some | |
| <etank> yharrow: so how long has the NY team been around | |
| <bkingx> And we have a sub-team working to make it really sharp! | |
| <bkingx> Right etank ? | |
| <etank> so far i think that the sub team consists of me | |
| <yharrow> etank, oh about a week and a half ;) | |
| <yharrow> mebbe 2 | |
| <etank> im wrong | |
| <etank> there are 3 of us | |
| <bkingx> ;) | |
| <etank> we started with 3 members | |
| <yharrow> etank, what do you mean there are 3? | |
| <yharrow> etank, not 30? | |
| <etank> 3 on the wiki sub-team for our LoCo | |
| <etank> we are creating sub teams so that we can split the work that needs to be done | |
| <etank> that way if there is wiki work to do then we know who to talk to | |
| <etank> yharrow: so are you still wanting to talk to atoponce? | |
| <yharrow> etank, im waiting right now for the forwarded email | |
| <yharrow> gonna check my inbox right now | |
| <yharrow> brb | |
| <yharrow> he didnt send it yet. do you have im? | |
| <yharrow> i hope to resolve this issue tonight | |
| <etank> i have im | |
| <etank> yharrow: check out https://launchpad.net/~etank for my contact details | |
| <yharrow> ok | |
| <yharrow> etank, still there? | |
| <etank> yep | |
| <yharrow> ok | |
| <yharrow> lets do this ;) | |
| <yharrow> have you worked with atoponce before? | |
| <etank> yep | |
| <etank> he is our team mentor | |
| <yharrow> ok so you should probably write the email then | |
| <yharrow> and explain both of our situations | |
| <etank> i thought that he was the NY team mentor too | |
| <yharrow> ya but we didnt get to work with him yet | |
| <yharrow> not for a long period anyways | |
| <yharrow> we spoke for one day | |
| <yharrow> he said great work guys | |
| <yharrow> and we havent been in contact since | |
| <yharrow> although arguably we should | |
| <etank> we have only had a little more than that so far | |
| <yharrow> that was like 5 days ago | |
| <yharrow> how about this | |
| <yharrow> write an email, then mail it to me, Ill take a look at it make changes or add bits. | |
| <yharrow> mail it back to you | |
| <yharrow> and when we come to a decision | |
| <yharrow> well mail it to atoponce | |
| <yharrow> sound like a plan? | |
| <etank> what is your email address? | |
| <yharrow> yharrow@gmail.com | |
| <etank> you've got mail | |
| <yharrow> ;) ok | |
| <etank> will that work you think? | |
| <yharrow> awesome | |
| <yharrow> I absolutelove google "office" | |
| <yharrow> ;) | |
| <etank> should we add the questions about becoming an approved team in the same email? | |
| <yharrow> hmm | |
| <yharrow> I think not | |
| <yharrow> one thing at a time ;-) | |
| <yharrow> but yeah tell him that they wont let us get a domain w/o it | |
| <pochu> night! | |
| <yharrow> we dont want to become approved neccessarily, | |
| <yharrow> just get the subdomain | |
| <etank> night pochu | |
| <etank> approval would be nice though :) | |
| <yharrow> yep. you can add it if you want towards the end | |
| <yharrow> well see | |
| <etank> what do you do for a living | |
| <etank> a lawyer or something ;) | |
| <etank> the site should be .org i think | |
| <yharrow> lol | |
| <yharrow> lmao | |
| <yharrow> etank I am f-lmao | |
| <Vorian> d00t! | |
| <yharrow> etank, Im a student man ;) | |
| <yharrow> etank. for business | |
| <yharrow> etank so yeah | |
| <etank> i was going to guess english major but that fits too | |
| <etank> hey Vorian | |
| <yharrow> salesmen and lawyers do have alot in common | |
| <etank> true | |
| <Vorian> hi etank :) | |
| <yharrow> etank... um I failed english ;) | |
| <etank> you couldn't tell from the letter you are writing | |
| <Vorian> hahaha | |
| <yharrow> etank, my teacher was dumb | |
| <yharrow> ;) | |
| <Vorian> yharrow, its dum, not dumb | |
| <yharrow> whoops | |
| <yharrow> yeah thats what i meant | |
| <Vorian> :) | |
| <yharrow> sorry :S | |
| <yharrow> lol | |
| <Vorian> so who here is working on Docs? | |
| <yharrow> doom | |
| <yharrow> Vorian, hey whats up man, we been talking about you | |
| <Vorian> ? | |
| <etank> Vorian: i was talking with someone earlier about becoming an approved team and they said that i should talk to you since Ohio just went through the process | |
| <Vorian> Ah! | |
| <Vorian> ok | |
| <yharrow> etank, we need to cite teams that were not approved and got approved | |
| <Vorian> thats funny etank | |
| <yharrow> not official | |
| <yharrow> and got approved | |
| <etank> why is it funny? :) | |
| <yharrow> im gonna be right back, etank, hope you dont mind doing a little digging for them and add it to the letter | |
| <Vorian> because it's like we have never talked :) | |
| <etank> no prob | |
| <Vorian> or that you aren't parked in our channel :P | |
| <Vorian> hey SimonAnibal! | |
| <Vorian> SimonAnibal, congrats on the forum | |
| <etank> well. we are trying to learn from you :) | |
| <Vorian> pfft | |
| <Vorian> It tickles my funny bone that someone would tell you to talk to me. | |
| <SimonAnibal> hey Vorian. thanks! | |
| <SimonAnibal> I was gone for the past couple of day and I got back to find that our forums AND our mailing list are now ready for us | |
| <Vorian> ooo, mailing list too eh? | |
| <etank> so is there some kind of formula to follow to know when to go through the approval process? | |
| <Vorian> I heard there was some chatter about non-approved teams getting websites | |
| <etank> that is the other topic we are on | |
| <Vorian> someone called me at home | |
| <Vorian> :P | |
| <Vorian> <etank> so is there some kind of formula to follow to know when to go through the approval process? | |
| <etank> Kentucky and New York have submitted ticket on launchpad to get access to use the ubuntu-us.org sub-domain | |
| <Vorian> OK, that is a timing issue at this point | |
| <etank> both were denied since we are not on the approved list | |
| <Vorian> etank, I read those on launchpad | |
| <SimonAnibal> yeah, it looks like our ducks are lining up in a row | |
| <Vorian> you should read into it a bit more | |
| <etank> how so? | |
| * Vorian find the wording | |
| <Vorian> ok etank, yours first | |
| <Vorian> matt : Hi, just wanted to say I've not forgotten, but we're a little shy on resources and a little heavy on todo items... I will be getting to this soon. | |
| <Vorian> There is a significant event happening on Monday the 5th. | |
| <Vorian> I would guess that a few weeks after the 5th, things will calm down a bit. | |
| <etank> what would that be? or can you say? | |
| <Vorian> it has to do with the ubuntu.com site | |
| <Vorian> most of their attention has been on the site. | |
| <etank> but in the same ticket he said that we would need to be approved first. | |
| <etank> NY got the same thing | |
| <Vorian> i see that | |
| <Vorian> to be honest, our website is our weak leg. | |
| <etank> the thing for us i feel is that we have a site to use and want to stick with the naming convention being set by the other teams | |
| <etank> we are using ubuntu-kentucky.org at this moment but someone here said that we should use the sub-domain for consistency | |
| <Vorian> like ohio.ubuntu-us.org? | |
| <etank> yup | |
| <Vorian> do you have a lot of energy about this issue? | |
| <etank> we want to use kentucky.ubuntu-us.org and NY asked for newyork.ubuntu-us.org | |
| * Vorian has an idea | |
| <etank> what do you mean by energy? | |
| <Vorian> how much energy do you want to spend on this issue? | |
| <etank> i dont want to be a problem / bother though | |
| <etank> as much as it takes i guess. | |
| <Vorian> ok then | |
| <Vorian> take it to the community council | |
| <Vorian> The domain is already in use | |
| <Vorian> www.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <etank> if only i knew someone that was on the CC. | |
| <Vorian> I think a good argument can be made to allow the sub-domains to be released | |
| * etank points to Vorian | |
| <Vorian> etank, not me | |
| <Vorian> I am not on the CC | |
| <Vorian> lol | |
| <etank> i thought that you were. my bad, | |
| <Vorian> its ok | |
| <Vorian> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil | |
| <etank> is there an irc channel for the CC | |
| <etank> or that would work too | |
| <Vorian> etank, they have meetings on irc | |
| <Vorian> you can add yourself to the agenda here | |
| <Vorian> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda | |
| <etank> sweet | |
| * Vorian notices that the agenda need updating | |
| <etank> unless you are trying for approval again | |
| <Vorian> haha | |
| <etank> next topic then | |
| <Vorian> k | |
| <yharrow> etank, we need links if we aer to have a strong case | |
| <yharrow> and no im not a lawyer | |
| <yharrow> ;) | |
| <Vorian> yharrow, what do you mean? | |
| <etank> how can I know if our team is ready to ask to be an approved LoCo | |
| <yharrow> vorian we are trying to poke our mentor into pushing button /sarcasm | |
| <Vorian> ah! | |
| <etank> we have 31 members and are actively having weekly irc meeting | |
| <Vorian> lol | |
| <etank> active on the forums, mailing list, and wiki | |
| <etank> we have planned a release party, install-fest and starting a charity project | |
| <Vorian> you need an approval application | |
| <etank> we just dont want to jump the gun here | |
| <Vorian> let me present you with this fine application | |
| <Vorian> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ApprovalApplication | |
| <etank> i have seen that very impressive application | |
| <Vorian> etank, we had been working on this app since december | |
| <Vorian> once you feel you are ready | |
| <Vorian> email jono to review your app | |
| <Vorian> or you might catch him on irc for the 3 seconds he comes on every day :P | |
| <bkingx> I think etank is wanting some specific hints as to when we might be ready. | |
| <etank> i dont think that would be enough time | |
| <Vorian> ok | |
| <bkingx> Like....get 1, 2, 3 items done, and then send in your app. | |
| <bkingx> Is that right, etank ? | |
| <Vorian> bkingx, it really doesn't work like that. | |
| <Vorian> we followed the process outlined on the wiki | |
| <Vorian> here are the steps | |
| <Vorian> 1) We set up our resources as fast as possible. | |
| <Vorian> as for the website, almost half of the team did NOT want to go with Canonical hosting | |
| * Vorian is finding supporting documentation | |
| <bkingx> That seems to be our case too. | |
| <Vorian> ah, i merged some threads | |
| <bkingx> We are split between the Canonical Hosting, and a 'standard' for domain names. | |
| <Vorian> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308556 | |
| <bkingx> ie: ubuntu-kentucky.org | |
| * Vorian nods to bkingx | |
| <etank> Vorian: did you have to get approval from the trademark team to use the ubuntu-ohio.org name? | |
| <Vorian> etank, http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org | |
| <etank> nm it is utah that is doing ubuntu-utah.org | |
| <Vorian> but like i said earlier, the website really hasn't done anything for us yet | |
| <bkingx> And aren't they an approved team as well? | |
| * Vorian smacks etank | |
| <bordy> vorian: Any idea how long its going to take to hear back about a mailing list? I have everything else set up now for FL, and am actually getting members randomly showing up... could use the mailing list. lol | |
| * etank swiftly dodges said smack | |
| <Vorian> bordy, it could take a while | |
| <bordy> damn | |
| <Vorian> !ohmy | |
| <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly. | |
| <Vorian> :) | |
| <bordy> srsly got like 4 people in the last two days... not a ton, but a surprise. | |

| <bordy> sorry! | |

| <Vorian> etank, we are working on a support module for our website | |
| <Vorian> F2F | |
| <Vorian> Face to Face | |
| <Vorian> anyway | |
| <Vorian> that will be a good use for our site. | |
| <Vorian> right now its only an ornament | |
| <Vorian> *drupal* | |
| <etank> so far our charity project idea is the same | |
| <Vorian> yes, that is a really good idea | |
| <Vorian> after we set up our resources, we introduced the sub-teams | |
| <Vorian> not that we really needed sub teams | |
| <Vorian> but it was a way to get a lot of people active and in supporting roles early in the game | |
| <Vorian> and it worked wonders! | |
| <etank> i agree and we are starting to do some of the same | |
| <Vorian> the real key is documenting everything | |
| <etank> i am wanting more of the team to take ownership in what we are doing | |
| <Vorian> you have zenwhen on your team, he's an ubuntu member. | |
| <Vorian> and forums staff | |
| <etank> true | |
| <yharrow> etank I am currently chatting with aaron | |

| * dthacker ponders the mysteries of CD labeling | |
| <dthacker> Is it truly important to have a injket or screen printed CD? Would a stick on mailing label do? | |
| <SimonAnibal> dthacker: a stick on mailing label would unbalance the CD, which might cause problems in certain drives including damaging the disc (not sure about damaging the drive) | |
| <SimonAnibal> dthacker: at least, I was told this by a videographer who works with DVDs, I'd believe his story until proven wrong | |
| *** gatewayer is now known as gate | |
| *** gate is now known as gatewayer | |
| <JanC> SimonAnibal: it could damage the drive too | |
| <JanC> and in any case, it will shorten the drive's lifetime | |
| <SimonAnibal> JanC: That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure | |
| <SimonAnibal> dthacker: So, yeah, it can damage the drive, too | |
| <JanC> also, most stickers use glue that penetrates through the upper plastic coating of CDs/DVDs | |
| <JanC> that coating is like 0.1 mm thick... | |
| <JanC> in fact, most of the CD labels that they sell in computer shops have the same problem | |
| <JanC> so, I never use stickers on CD-Rs :) | |
| *** SimonAnibal_ is now known as SimonAnibal | |
| <SimonAnibal> JanC: So long as Sharpies aren't known to eat through CD-Rs, I'm good | |
| <JanC> "Sharpies"? | |
| <Vorian> JanC, Sharpies are a brand of black permanent marker. | |
| <JanC> ah, okay, I use markers too (from Bic), just make sure they are water-based :) | |
| <Vorian> lol | |
| <JanC> some permanent markers have solvents in them :) | |
| <elkbuntu> you can get cd/dvd sharpies too | |
| <elkbuntu> where they're designed speifically for use on cds/dvds | |
| <Vorian> ^ those are sweet! | |
| <JanC> yeah, that's what I do: check if they are intended for use on CDs :) | |
| <Joe_CoT> when will the feisty CDs be shipped out? There's an event at the end of April by me, and I wanted to see if feisty cds would be ready by then | |
| <JanC> that would be very short time | |
| <JanC> Joe_CoT: release is planned for somewhere around April 20-22 IIRC | |
| <JanC> and pressing & shiping CDs takes at least a week, maybe longer | |
| <JanC> probably longer | |
| <Joe_CoT> ok | |
| <JanC> you can always ask Canonical | |
| <Joe_CoT> yeah, i suppose | |
| <Joe_CoT> I'm probably going to just ask for Edgy CDs then, just not a ton of them, since they'll only be useful that event | |
| <Joe_CoT> and then put in an insert telling them to install Feisty if they like the live CD |
