• @bugabundo hug given, but evidence will have to wait for larger bandwidth #
• going off line, battery life #

• @jwildeboer ended up talking with @kanarip up until 4am so I’m a bit wasted. You only introduce me to such great guys 🙂 #
• @carlopiana I hope to finally meet you. Will you be at the fosdem event, fsfe ,meeting, both? 🙂 #
• @carlopiana I’ll be with @karsten, mostly, today/night #
• @carlopiana OFE as well? peachy! 🙂 #
• @luisfcorreia you should have come too 🙂 #
• @luisfcorreia depends on how long I can last today, was with @kanarip until 4am bxl time… >:) #
• @zach ping? what’s up? #
• of course it is, though, but of little usefullness #
• @schestowitz is it Free Software when you can’t install and run it on the devices it was made to run on? #
• (considering DRM and local laws forbidding modificatons and unlocking of phones which where made locked) #
• “No you won’t be able to reprogram your phone.” from FAQ of “free software” symbian. #
• @smaffulli no, check the FAQ 🙂 #
• rt @lessig: Australia gets ISP rights right: http://ping.fm/agGgx #
• So first it was the GIMP, and now it is OpenOffice… #
• So first it was the GIMP, and now it is OpenOffice… !ubuntu what are you doing? http://ur1.ca/ljpz death wish? #
• I think it’s time people start subscribing http://www.petitiononline.com/botgimp/petition.html no? !ubuntu #
• @sbillaudelle yes, my sister in law uses it everyday. #
• @bugabundo yes. current netbooks are more powerful than other computers Iused openoffice.org on, don’t drink kool-ais #
• kool-aid #
• @smaffulli @sbillaudelle show me the numbers that back you up #
• @sbillaudelle @bugabundo you miss the point, new comers come with windows habits, they won’t thinkk/know of that. #
• @sbillaudelle @smaffulli in all winxp on netbooks I see people using MS Office. #
• you guys are simply throwing the pearls under the rug orto pigs. #
• ran #
• @sbillaudelle not pointing the gun to your own foot takes less time and less work and is smarter #
• besides, I run OO.o whn I had a laptop with 512MB of ram, don’t give me bullshit 🙂 #
• @bugabundo you’re just parroting bullshit, grow your own brain. #
• @smaffulli I’m not talking about good choices, I’m talking that users want light laptops that can do all their work. #
• so your’re arguments are just plain bullshit #
• netbooks are now much more powerful than the computers they used a few years ago. #
• 2GB ram, 160GB disk is common now, on the shops #
• grow a pair of balls #
• 🙂 #
• @sbillaudelle more than enough. not for compiling, though, but desktop usage/ come on… #
• CPU is way beyond our needs for a few years #
• @sbillaudelle so you only do what others designed you to do? *disappointment* #
• @sbillaudelle not really, you’ll miss over 95% of the users an the sample would be deviated/ #
• @ssweeny will you stop parroting BS and think about it with your own brains andlooking at what people actually do? #
• @bugabundo you know Ubuntu is actually making it harder to make derivatives, right? #
• @bugabundo yeah, right. #
• @bugabundo quem tem batalhado com isso a se’rioeem ambiente empresarial nao sou eu. #
• You guys need to wake up, I’m the one who has an UMPC with 256MB of ram !olpc OOo is hell in *here* noton netbooks #
• @sbillaudelle no1 reason for winxp on netbooks is running ms office, not windows #
• people want netbooks because they’repowerful enough they’re light enough, and battery last more than traditional laptops #
• @bugabundo actually, it only gives you the basement #
• @sbillaudelle not when there was windows and GNU/Linux. now because it’s impossibleto getwithout windows #
• @x11r5 actually, I use various GNU/Linuxes and OpenBSD. But just Linux, not really. #
• rt @larusalka: @jamestait Interesting? Have you read Google Docs Additional Terms of Service? http://tr.im/LGBR Wrong move, IMHO. !Ubuntu NE #
• @ssweeny sure you did #
• @ssweeny !Ubuntu is making stupid decisions that hide the power of Free Software. Corruption from the insie, I wonder? #
• And the worse is that you guys are just drinking kool-aid at a rate reminiscent of Apple fanboys. #
• @mcielen so afraid of criticism you want to drive people away from !ubuntu? #
• @ssweeny oh really? show me the numbers, please. otherwise, it’sjust kool-aid #
• @mcielen yes, you’re whining about my criticism. #
• @ssweeny you got the right to feel that way. each its own. But I suggest to look outside your window. #

• @glynmoody the council work is all done with instructions from national governments. so “you” id, actually. “Me” too. #
• @glynmoody tell your COREPER firstly! #
• @zoobab Ijust suggested to a couple MEPs to demand from EC the information about ACTA they should be freely given in 1st place. #
• I voteed for #vote140 in the form! #
• @zoobab I followed 1 MEP as she left the room for a train to suggest ECJ referral of the matter #
• yay!@pietercolpaert: A friend spontaneously asked me about copyleft and creative commons because he saw «RIP: A remix manifesto» on TV !cc #

• @jwildeboer it wouldn’t be polite to impose, and if you get delayed… I don’t know Max so he probably wouldn’t join a stranger 🙂 #
• @rhk are you using !elmdentica from shr-u? I have and it works… #
• pidgin is rocking for me, 1 app for identi.ca, xmpp,msn and irc (good for a low spec machine such as o=this olpc xo-1) #
