Proposal: New startup and shutdown sounds for gusty gibbon

[Jeff Waugh]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-sounds

I will attached two audio files, proposed as startup and shutdown sounds for Ubuntu 7.10: Gusty Gibbon. Could raise some copyright issues, but I'm sure that can be worked out by Canonical HQ.

Startup sound attached.

Shutdown sound attached.

Audio files have been tested and are fully functional on Fisty. May have to ship them as wav files, though.

This could also raise language issues. We'd have to translate "It's Gibbon
Time!" in every language Ubuntu is released...

+1 on this. Best startup sounds ever.

Jeff, what are these sounds from?

Can you specify the copyright issue? Was this a personally made or copied
into oog?

Ya
it will better included in next distro

[Jeff Waugh (jdub)]

They're from a song by The Goodies (well known in the UK and Australia) called The Funky Gibbon. Yes, it's a joke. :-)

Hi,

Well, i admit these are funny. But really this will annoy people. Also,
shutdown sound is too long. I second Hugo about the language issue.

Really, i don't want my computer to bawl each startup and shutdown,
annoying people around me.

Regards,
Étienne.

I believe this is what we refer to as a "joke" and 99% would not actually get included. :)

[Bruno Bord (brunobord)]

This bug is linked to another one: #<whatever> jdub is a sick man ;)

[Gianni Moschini (gianni.net)]

That's terrible (in the bad sens of it)... that we can't include this. Mostly because we all hate sounds. Those are long enough to be harmful.

Anyway, I really enjoyed listening this.

Thanks for the fun :-)

I always wondered what Waugh was listening to on those cans in his hackergotchi... now we know..

[Christian Kellner (gicmo)]

I had a great laugh! Thanks! ;-)
