adamant1988Hey now, plastic surgery has done a lot for me =(04:28
darkmatter_ROFL04:28
adamant1988:)04:30
adamant1988so, the not referring to linux thing, that works....04:31
adamant1988when talking about ubuntu, I mean.04:31
adamant1988I think that that will be a good way to market Ubuntu.04:32
darkmatter_yup04:44
darkmatter_besides... I always disliked the callingf of an os linux... maybe I'm just anal.. but the last time I chcked linux was the kernel :P04:45
adamant1988What i'm wondering, is if it would be possible to start a 'switch' campaign of our own...04:47
adamant1988The testimonials are practically done already04:47
adamant1988I can't remember the names but apparently two very big mac users did the switch to ubuntu.04:47
darkmatter_cool04:48
darkmatter_that would be a good sales pitch04:49
adamant1988I'll have to look up the links, but it seems to me we could do a testimonial based 'switch' campaign.04:49
adamant1988although a different name would have to be thought up04:49
darkmatter_now if only we could convince bill gates to switch to ubuntu ;)04:49
adamant1988haha04:50
adamant1988he'll use windows until he dies04:50
adamant1988he'll be buried with a windows computer... which I think it's significant that the windows computer is also buried with him.04:50

adamant1988I'm puzzled.11:35
=== rikai [i=rikai@unaffiliated/rikai] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
adamant1988I know that somewhere, somehow, there is going to be a fork or something of Ubuntu that is commercial and fills the role of distros like Linspire and Xandros...  I just can't find anything out about it =\11:36
adamant1988The only thing I have to go on is that Mark Shuttleworth bought 65% stake of Impi Linux and that canonical itself is offering commercial repos for ubuntu.11:36
adamant1988aside from that it's merely speculation...11:36
adamant1988=\11:38
gaz00that's some mighty dangerous thinking there adamant1988...11:45
adamant1988I think it's exciting personally11:51
adamant1988it means I might be able to buy Ubuntu in a box and give my family a boxed set with a written manual and support for the things they use oob.11:51
