UDS-Intrepid: Quote of the day

Jono had a slide during his presentation during the Ubuntu Developer Summit this morning which I want on a T-Shirt.

Make
(*)(Ku)(U)(Xu)(Go)(Myth)buntu(Studio)
Happen

or the proper regexp way (thanks Jeff:))

Make
([XK]u|U|Go|Myth)buntu( Studio|)
Happen!

  1. Please do make shirts out of this. You’d have my money.

  2. Damn, and I don’t sell tees in SecondLife anymore. I’ll have to get with my sister. She’s the SL tee designer now. Because I’d buy that tee myself, in RL or in SL. :)

  3. But make it a *proper* regular expression first :)

  4. Really quickly playing with it, this craptastic regexp seems to fit the bill.

    Make ([XK]u|U|Go|Myth)buntu( Studio|) Happen!

    jeff@jschroeder2:~$ echo Ubuntu | egrep –color ‘([XK]u|U|Go|Myth)buntu( Studio|)’

    jeff@jschroeder2:~$ echo Ubuntu | egrep –color ‘([XK]u|U|Go|Myth)buntu( Studio|)’

    Ubuntu Studio

  5. You regexp is wrong! It accepts the strings “Kubuntu Studio”, “Xubuntu Studio”, etc.

  6. Dear John Doe,

    Make Kubuntu Studio happen!

  7. @Ryan: That would be a great solution! :-P
