Episode 133 - Shabba!

[mg6]

The reason for porting Ubuntu One to other operating systems is because of the community and how important it really is to all of us. When they port Ubuntu One to the Mac then Jono Bacon will finally be able to get his Jot of Shaq sound files into QBase without using a USB stick. Awesome!

Fab and Dan, I think you are missing the point about porting UbuntuOne to Windows. My main OS is Ubuntu, but I have another PC with Windows that I must use for my work (hope to get rid of it some day, but it won't happen soon). I use Dropbox to sync my files between the two, and to have them available via the web interface when I'm using other computers away from home (which I do almost every day). My Dropbox is filled with about 4GB out of the 5GB of the free account, and once I get it filled I'll be happy to pay for more. I should prefer using UbuntuOne and spending my money with Canonical rather then Dropbox, but it won't happen unless UbuntoOne syncs my Windows PC. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. In fact, I'm willing to bet that many Ubuntu users also use Windows (at work) so this is a very important feature for UbuntuOne if it is to compete with Dropbox.

Good point. I still think they should first make it generally Linux compatible first. Having it run on Windows but not on Fedora is a sad state of affairs...

[Fab]

Sorry for misdirecting you. You are free to flog me verbally on the thing about the Fedora community manager, when I was in fact thinking about the Mandriva dude, who was employed by Red Hat after they fired him.
Thank you for mentioning the Debian event.

Ah, no worries. It was an offhanded comment.

Adam Williamson is at Red Hat now? Awesome!

Is it? It's not to me!

[nailuj]

Fab is a Red Hat employee now? Or is Red Hat his real Verizon?

Yeah, that's true, he's doing Quality Assurance stuff for Fedora now.

And the second sentence said:

Maybe you guys should just show Jono how to actually edit audio on Ubuntu. Your sound quality is at least as good as their's, so he doesn't really have an excuse for using QBase other than it's what he's used to. That's kind of a sad situation for someone who is supposed to be promoting Ubuntu.

Hmm... it seems like the OpenOffice.org website now flaunts the Oracle logo in its bottom left corner instead of the Sun logo. Oracle's red logo looks rather out of place if you ask me... maybe they'll be recolouring the whole website in a few weeks?

Interestingly enough, Banshee actually has a Muine-inspired minimal interface known as Muinshee (as far as I know it's usually installed with Banshee, and can be started with the 'muinshee' command). I suppose that might work a bit better on the N900 than the standard Banshee interface. xD

Nope. I just got a RH fedora send by a nice RH employee.

Well, Dan is recording in Pro Tools on XP and I am using a Marantz hardware SD recorder.

Wow, never knew that. Looks cool!
