| [22:21] <sebsebseb> mhall119: ping | |
| [22:21] <mhall119> sebsebseb: pong | |
| [22:22] <sebsebseb> mhall119: who's the Ubuntu Community manager now? I saw about half of that video with Shuttleworht and you and then uesiotns | |
| [22:23] <mhall119> sebsebseb: everybody who worked for Jono before had their title changed to "Community Manager" | |
| [22:23] <mhall119> dpm, who took over jono's managerial role, got the title "Community Team Manager" | |
| [22:23] <sebsebseb> and then not sure what that was meant to say at the end | |
| [22:23] <sebsebseb> I am on IRC after a few weeks first time | |
| [22:24] <mhall119> basically Ubuntu has multiple community managers now | |
| [22:24] <sebsebseb> oh right nice | |
| [22:24] <sebsebseb> ,but anyonew new joining the team woudn't get that? | |
| [22:24] <mhall119> they might, randall ross just joined the cloud side with that title i think | |
| [22:24] <sebsebseb> mhall119: how's the Ubuntu Phone coming along | |
| [22:24] <mhall119> sebsebseb: exciting times, we're so close I can taste it | |
| [22:24] <sebsebseb> come end of Januaray or so Orange wil try to sell me a new phone I guess, or whtaever | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> ,but I was thinking | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> of | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> if possible | |
| [22:25] <mhall119> only, I won't *actually* taste it at first, because I'm in the USA and our network frequencies are weird here | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> probabably buying an Ubuntu phone intead then :D or around hten | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> Android is a bit boring now anyway so | |
| [22:25] <mhall119> sebsebseb: we *should* have a phone you can by at that point in time | |
| [22:25] <sebsebseb> and I did put some money into the edge well nearly actually | |
| [22:26] <sebsebseb> mhall119: yeah and then I guess put a giffgaff card in it and :), yeah that's the ipression I am getting that that someting is on the verge of being released | |
| [22:26] <sebsebseb> in December? | |
| [22:26] <mhall119> sebsebseb: I can't say for sure, we can provide them the "finished" software, but the supply chain and manufacturing process is out of our hands | |
| [22:27] <sebsebseb> well will be interesieng to see what happens wit that, and the tabl | |
| [22:27] <sebsebseb> e | |
| [22:27] <sebsebseb> t | |
| [22:27] <mhall119> no immediate plans for a tablet release, we're all-hands on the phone | |
| [22:28] <sebsebseb> ah righty eah, but I think someone else was going to do one going by omgubuntu anwyay | |
| [22:29] <sebsebseb> mhall119: anyway 2015 the year of the Ubuntu Phone, or probably? | |
| [22:29] <sebsebseb> also I know there's a like software preview that I haven't treid or yet but it wil run some Android apps to ? | |
| [22:30] <mhall119> sebsebseb: most likely, even if we get a phone out in 2014 it would be hard to call it that | |
| [22:31] <sebsebseb> yeah why's that? | |
| [22:31] <mhall119> sebsebseb: no, Ubuntu won't run Android apps | |
| [22:31] <mhall119> because december != "the year" | |
| [22:31] <sebsebseb> December is this year yeah | |
| [22:31] <mhall119> yeah, but only a small part of it | |
| [22:31] <mhall119> I, for one, won't be calling 2014 "the year of the Ubuntu Phone" | |
| [22:32] <sebsebseb> well I guess I may mean mor ewhen manufacctres start selling Ubuntu Phone | |
| [22:32] <sebsebseb> that won't be until 2015 by earliest I assume | |
| [22:32] <sebsebseb> or for most | |
| [22:32] <mhall119> yes, still should happen this year | |
| [22:32] <sebsebseb> oh you think manfactures will start selling devces with it in December? | |
| [22:32] <mhall119> we have 2 oems who are planning on shipping currently, one plans to ship by end of year, the other next year | |
| [22:32] <sebsebseb> yeah bq and the other one | |

| [22:33] <mhall119> Meizu | |
| [22:33] <sebsebseb> apparnatly not convergence changing to desktop stuff on first phones though, but that's ok | |
| [22:33] <mhall119> no, not until we have unity 8 ready for desktop and phone powerful enough to make a good workstation | |
| [22:34] <sebsebseb> mhall119: do you kmow who the big OEM paratner is meant to be? or you do and meant to be hush hush for now about that? | |
