Let us know if you need help and we could come by for a meetup/lucid upgrade. 20:38 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> certainly, there are 3 different models in the library, but it is looking good so far 20:38 #ubuntu-us-nm: < protonchris> Very nice. 20:38 #ubuntu-us-nm: < |mando|> +1 on the offer for help 20:38 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> that's all i have - lucid lynx is looking really awesome 20:39 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> Yes, please let us know. We were planning on helping with the upgrade anyway. 20:40 #ubuntu-us-nm: * nick125 is still having some odd issues with Lucid 20:40 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> I'll be keeping 1 of each of the models up-to-date and will give updates if I run into any troubles, then come april or may we can have the upgrade day for the library 20:40 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> OK, sounds good, deinerson1. 20:40 #ubuntu-us-nm: < protonchris> deinerson1: sounds good. 20:40 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> EPC is still my suggestion for the location of our next release party, as well. 20:41 #ubuntu-us-nm: < protonchris> I have been running Lucid for a couple of days.

We've noticed that you've already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases. You can help us ensure the continued availability of Ubuntu CDs by " 20:51 -!- You have been marked as being away 20:51 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> Who do they mean by "you"? 20:52 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> hopefully this means that the 50 ubuntu disks and 50 kubuntu disks still going to be sent 20:54 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> kenneth_: "you" = kenneth_, or "you" = the LoCo? 20:54 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> me kenneth 20:54 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> Hmm, interesting. 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> that leaves about 100 ubuntu disks short for the gun show 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> Speaking of LoCo CDs, 10.04 discs are still not yet available for order: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingCds 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> I will order them as soon as that status changes. 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> When is the next gun show again? 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> May 1 and 2 20:56 #ubuntu-us-nm: < tritium> OK 20:57 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> the previous disks ship in 4 to 6 weeks 21:00 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> if two people can order 50 disk each hopefully that make up the difference 21:00 -!- You are no longer marked as being away 21:00 -!- Irssi: No new messages in awaylog 21:01 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> or I can buy a box of 100 21:01 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ --- Log closed Tue Mar 23 21:06:04 2010
