[14:25] <jokerdino> mterry: heh it's alright.
[14:25] <jokerdino> the point of our site is to provide good quality answers and if the current answers aren't good enough, adding your awesome answer is so much encouraged.
[14:26] <jokerdino> you did just that, and i already upvoted you!

[14:58] <dpm> jokerdino, thanks for providing the first answer, though, that was really helpful already. I chose Mike's one in the end, as it provided more info. But yours is useful to understand what the "share" part means, which wasn't clear to me before
[15:00] <jokerdino> you're welcome, sir :)
[15:00] <jokerdino> you both sound apologetic that you have to unaccept my answer and accept his. i have no worries about that.
[15:01] <jokerdino> so.. yeah

[15:02] <jokerdino> ^that question has a nice bounty on. and definitely a good place to document relevant stuff. please do advertise it a bit more..
[15:42] <dpm> jokerdino, done :)
[15:43] <jokerdino> thanks :)
[17:24] <akk> I'm confused about developer.ubuntu.com and the ubuntu software center.
[17:24] <akk> The software center seems to be showing me the same apps I can get with apt-get from standard repos ...
[17:24] <akk> but developer.u.c is for a process that gets apps into some other, less blessed, repository, isn't it?
[17:25] <akk> (Was hoping I'd understand this better after UDS, but I still don't.)
[18:02] <morten771> yes regardless what repositories you have, you should allways be able to install them with apt-get or synaptic or so... but I don't know about ubuntu software center, is it complete? (have all applications, or only selected ones?)

[20:04] <JanC> akk: I think there is currently only one app in USC for 12.04 that cae in through the d.u.c. process
[20:04] <JanC> *that came in*
[20:06] <JanC> it's named 'leds'
[20:08] <akk> Right, I guess most of the apps are only approved for 11.10?
[20:09] <akk> In case anyone's lurking and wondering, it turns out it's the "extras" repository
[20:09] <JanC> certainly more than 1
[20:09] <akk> and can be searched with aptitude using the origin "LP-PPA-app-review-board"
[20:09] <JanC> indeed
[20:10] <JanC> I think the app reviews for 12.04 were delayed somewhat because of the release & then UDS
[20:10] * akk will be blogging this since it doesn't seem to be written up anywhere
[20:11] <akk> also how to package python apps since that isn't really documented either
[20:12] <JanC> akk: maybe you can contribute that to the developer site even (or offer your blog post for them as a start after you published it)
[20:13] <akk> I'd be happy to help write docs for the developer site.
[20:13] <akk> It's pretty confusing now -- it looks very welcoming until you start trying to actually do anything. :)
[20:13] <JanC> I think 'dpm' is responsible for that site, but he's not in here right now
