User1: Burgundavia, any idea when the next CC meeting will be?
User2: User1 we are discussing that right now
User1: kewl :)
User3: perhaps bug 121499 is something to look at
User2: bug #131499
User2: bug #121499
User3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/121499
User2: ugh
User3: i think it could be a good idea.
User2: punted it to Mark
User3: awesome.
User4: Any references/articles/reviews about the quality of Canonical support? If I buy a $250 dollar support for a year, can Itrust that I can work efficiently in out big corporate MS-Windows environment? What about the non-tech office workers here?
User4: I mean, personally my biggest Linux gripes have been integrating to AD and Exchange. (And integrating to Nokia smart phones that we have.)
User2: User4 hmm, never seen anything either way
User2: having met the canonical support guys, I would say the level is pretty high
User2: as for AD support. that is actually pretty easy
User4: Well, that's good to know. If they are not too busy.
User2: are you thinking of more than 1 desktiop?
User4: Well, I am thinking of starting with myself, then promoting that to others.
User2: I would look for a local providor
User4: I don't see how calling/mailing a local is any better that Canonical headquarters...
User2: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/commercial/marketplace/europe
User2: Canonical global support HQ is in Montreal, QC, Canada
User4: I know some Finnish Linux support companies, but I really don't see why I should go local.
User2: timezones are going to kill you
User4: yeah, that might be a problem...
User2: plus local people speak Finnish
User4: Well, we are a bi-lingual company...
User2: not saying don't go with Canonical, just saying you are likely to get better support from a local provider, given the number of computers you have, the timezone and the language one
User4: I see, you have a point, especially with Canada vs. Finland timezones.
User2: I know Canonical does 24/7 support
User2: ie: you wouild get support in your local timezone
User4: 24/7 cost more...
* jenda pokes juliux
User5: jenda, autsch
User6: :)
User6: User5 how was the trip to the customs?
User5: jenda, well takes only 30min
User6: cool
User6: and...? ;)
User5: i get on mcmurry
User6: one
User5: yes
User6: that's 9 altogether, correct?
User5: yes
User6: ok
User5: and i know why this sending goes to the custom
User6: why?
User5: the book was in a big bag
User6: ah
User5: and there was only a badge with my name an nothing about the content
User6: did you have to pay any customs?
User6: Bah, the senders are obviously stupid ;)
User5: but inside the bag was the book well packe with all informations on it which the custom needs
User5: so if they send it with out the bag there were no problem
User6: When you don't know your business, it's time to switch lines of work - they should consider construction or a janitor job ;)
User5: but i dont understand why they send 8 books with out a bag and 4 books with a bag
User6: different vendors
User5: no i dont had to pay any customs
User6: good
User5: jenda, the badge on the books is always the same
User6: Whenever I send anything outside the EU, I attach a customs notice :/
User6: bah, don't worry about the other 3 book
User6: s
User6: If I don't come on the 29th, it's probably because my biechemical friend killed me, but hey, that happens ;)
User5: lol
User6: I gotta go get beuno's ticket.
User5: did you allready have on?
User6: I'll have to pay the buggers, too, because the tickets are non-transferrable.
User6: yes, I have one for myself
User6: I'll have to return mine, buy a return ticket for beuno and a one way ticket for myself.
User5: so you are coming 100%;)
User6: Well...
User6: beuno's coming 100% ;)
User6: I'll have to hitchhike.
User6: I believe there is a 99% chance I'll make it before the evening :D
User6: Do you guys have euro-coin phone booths?
User6: I could call you when I get there.
User5: what is a euro-coin-phone?
User6: I really gotta go fetch the ticket - the reservation will be out in 46 minutes :)
User6: erm
User6: a phone booth that'll take coins
User5: jenda, ok then go;)
User6: (we only have phones that take pre-paid cards)
* jenda gone
User5: we also have some for coins
User5: i hope
User6: User5 I hope so too ;)
User6: Not sure if my cell phone can do that kinda thing.
User6: where's beuno when I need him ;)
User5: jenda, but dont call me in the middle of the nigth;)
User6: User5 you think I could get a hitch at 2 AM? ;)
User5: bahh
User5: what should i do so early in the morning?
User6: If I don't get a last-minute ticket on the bus station, I'll put beuno on the bus, and go home, have a good night's sleep, and start the adventure at 9 ;)
User5: hehe
User6: User5 nothing - we'll take care of ourselves till you feel like meeting us :)
User5: i thought you all ready have a ticke
User6: Well, yes
User6: but I had to transfer that one to beuno.
User5: ahh
User6: becuase I can't let beuno hitchhike in an unknown country :)
User5: hmm but germany is also unknown for him;)
User6: well, he won't have to hitchhike at all - he'll just have to survive from 4 AM to whenever you or I meet him in a foreign city ;)
User6: And I think he's capable of doing that.
User6: If not, I could take him hitchhiking with me, but 2 guys have to wait twice as long for a hitch.
User6: no, wrong - 3 times, according to a hitchhiking guide ;)
User5: i think you can get a breakfest here at 9 am
User6: a single girl: 12 times faster; 2 girls: 6 times faster; 3 girls or 1+1: twice as fast; 2 guys: 3 times slower; 3 guys: never. (compared to a single guy ;))
User6: I won't be there at 9
User6: If I'm lucky, I  could be daniel57@example.net.
User5: ok of you get the early bus you can get a breakfast here at 9am;)
User5: s/if/of
User6: oh, the midnight one? Possibly ;)
User6: But considering the prices in germany, I think I'll be taking a sandwich ;)
User6: I gotta run off again. Have lunch with me ma :)
