[ubuntu-uk] OpenOffice 3.0 repositories for Hardy

2008-10-20 Thread Rob Beard
Hi folks,

As OpenOffice.org has been released, I wondered if anyone knew of any 
repositories where it can be downloaded from?

I'd rather use a repository (which I would presume would offer updates 
occasionally) than just install the .deb packages off the OpenOffice web 
site manually.

I just wondered if anyone knew of a good repository?

Does anyone know too if OpenOffice 3.0 will be included in Intrepid when 
it's released?

Ta,

Rob

Hi Dave,

Explain to me how this is going to work.

Do we have a corner in a much larger exhibition?

Is there going to be enough Linux stuff to justify a trip from the South West?

 Just another reminder about *THE* event to be at this year.

Technically THE event of the year for me was my wedding.  At least 
that's what I'm telling the other half ;-)

I would have loved to have come along but due to low finances and the 
fact I crashed my car last week I'm going to be unable to make it this 
year.  I presume the Linux Expo Live 2009 will be around the same time 
next year?

There's _another_  MASSIVE event _possibly_ happening next year, but
more on that later.. :)

Hi Sean,

The actual event at Olympia is split between Mac expo and Linux expo. 
The Linux expo is then further split between commercial and
organisations (.org village [0]),  normally I would expect us to be in
the .org village - however I did speak with Canonical's Marketting
director - and we may well end up sharing Canonical's stand if it is
more favourable for us.

I'll be travelling from Devon, probably by train - so if you want to
travel together, give me a nod.

He's less than a year old and he's already done a Ubuntu install???

Forgive me for being a complete idiot but could you confirm I've added my

 Hi Chaps,

 Just another reminder about *THE* event to be at this year.  It's
 running from this Thursday until Saturday.  This is basically an event
 where we have a chance to show of Linux, and Ubuntu.  It is also a great
 chance to meet other like minded people.  It didn't happen last year,
 but the year before was a great success[0].  It would be really good to
 make this one even better.  The venue is shared with the Mac Expo, so
 it's a fantastic opportunity to show off Ubuntu to non-linux users, who
 would unlikely come to a dedicated Linux expo.

 Canonical have today confirmed that they will be there, and help us (the
 LoCo), where possible.

 So I'm asking for more volunteers to help man the stand, or if you don't
 fancy doing that just come along to show your support for Linux and
 Ubuntu in general (make sure you wear your coveted Ubuntu geekware! :) ).

 If you want to help out, add your name to the wiki page [1].  I would
 also think it would be a good idea if you apply for tickets[2] aswell,
 tickets are free if pre-booked (£12 on the door).

[ubuntu-uk] Intrepid Themes

2008-10-20 Thread Chris Rowson
Hi there,

Does anyone know what's going on with the look of Intrepid? I did think that
it was supposed to come with a new theme, but from what I've seen so far it
seems to be rather similar to Hardy. At one point there was a bizarre
slightly unreadable dark theme but that seems to have disappeared...

Any info anyone?

Human remains as the default theme, but there is a new theme in
Intrepid - DarkRoom (was NewHuman).

Although the new theme is very nice, there are some issues[1] with it
which is why it's not the default (yet).

 This is the one thing that has annoyed me with intrepid well more so
disappointed me, hardy was supposed to get a make over which was then
deferred for intrepid which I think was a bad move aswell (new LTS release,
new artwork).

I guess theres a reason for it though.Lets just hope we get a new look for
Jaunty.;)
