[03:59] <adamant1988> anyone awake in here?
[04:00] <Burgundavia> adamant1988: nope
[04:01] <adamant1988> hey burgundavia :)
[04:02] <adamant1988> Burgundavia: what do you think of Ubuntu boxed sets for purchase?
[04:02] <Burgundavia> they are already exist
[04:02] <adamant1988> ok, In english.
[04:02] <Burgundavia> large amount of cost for questionable return
[04:03] <adamant1988> Understood risk.  I need something tactile to distribute with the shipit CDs
[04:04] <Burgundavia> then get something printed, or point them at a book
[04:04] <adamant1988> I'm trying to get ideas... is there a printed manual for Ubuntu that I could purchase a few copies of?
[04:05] <adamant1988> My major goal is to make Localized Ubuntu converts feel as though they've made a 'big step' and done something important... people like to brag when they've done something they feel is an accomplishment
[04:06] <adamant1988> having something to 'show off' while helping them out all at the same time is in my opinion the way to go with it.
[04:07] <Burgundavia> there is the official ubuntu book
[04:07] <adamant1988> does it act as a help manual as well?
[04:08] <Burgundavia> it is a help manual
[04:08] <adamant1988> oh, ok lol... I thought it was a bit 'more'
[04:09] <adamant1988> that works. I'll have to see if I can dig up a fund to order 100 copies
[04:09] <Burgundavia> it is that too
[04:10] <adamant1988> also, I'm trying to work on a rewards incentive program for distributing the Ubuntu CDs to friends, but I'm running low on inspiration in that area
[04:11] <adamant1988> I don't know what I should offer and all that.  I was thinking merchandise, but my goal is to keep this free or VERY cheap if possible... (The books would most likely be through donations).
[04:12] <adamant1988> I'm working on establishing a 'center' that would have several donated computers of various speed, power, and type so people could demo Ubuntu
[04:12] <Burgundavia> very interesting
[04:13] <adamant1988> I want to use that to support a local LUG and make it the center of my localized marketing attempts
[04:13] <adamant1988> and collection of research for the study
[04:17] <adamant1988> I'm thinking that the center could do installation and maintainance in exchage maybe for a fee or for donations... that way the center could afford to get more books, etc.
[04:20] <adamant1988> so anyway I'm done rambling
