Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
Hiyas leszek, hopefully by the end of January I will have the ubuntu server installed on my friends dedicated server. If traffic on blip.tv is an issue, then I will transfer them over to the new server. I'm also sure that I have video conversion program on piglet if flv is causing people problems. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Chromium Sync

Is there some special hack i need to do to get this working ? I use the sync option in Chromium all the time and don't have any issues. It syncs to several machines and when I do a clean install it saves a lot of time being able to sync my bookmarks etc. especially extensions.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
Hi Phil, would be great if you could host the videos on your server and if we could embed them somehow in the lubuntu site. Unfortunately the videos are currently with car advertisements when I view them. I already had some discussions with Leszek about this as blip also offers adsfree videos. It might be a solution if you host the videos, so we can offer adfree videos. I am not totally against advertising, if it is for a dedicated purpose. Particularly though, I find forced advertising before a video pretty annoying. Just reminds me of boring TV times.

[Lubuntu-desktop] A replacement
Hiyas Julien, I have a potential padawan to replace the one that vanished who would like to learn about iso building / backporting etc. In return he will assist the lubuntu team, it is still early days but he is favourable towards lubuntu as his posting at http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/05/lubuntu-1004-distro-review.html shows. Whilst he is after his own flavour of ubuntu I think he would worth while taking on. I'd like to permanently kidnap him, but he really wants to learn about making a distro and has done a decent job of the one he has. The reason he contacted me was for for how to do a minimal install iso, I then proceeded to kidnap him well you need some one else who can take some of the work load off of you. He has assured me that he will not desert Lubuntu, in fact, I think it may be possible to convince him to drop his project and become fully committed to lubuntu. As ever, the decision is yours.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
As my current temporary host provider also allows me to host the lubuntu iso's for downloading if the torrents have no seeders, I see no reason that I could not transfer them over. I'm still classed as 'low' on my usage on there. Regards Phill.
