[12:05] very nice [12:05] I just "barrowed" a company UPS label for such purposes =) [12:05] got about 4 per side [12:05] stickered my "cubicle" [12:09] nixternal: are those from the german site? [12:10] nope, i made those today [12:10] ah [12:10] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy [12:10] And... you did know that I already did quite a bit of work on stickers... right? [12:10] :) === jenda searches for URL [12:11] http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Stickers/ [12:11] That's all the works in progress too. [12:11] i just replied to John's email... [12:11] jenda : with the stickers I ordered what color do i get? [12:12] nice work jenda [12:12] MitchM: brown [12:12] as on the wiki [12:13] jenda, i likey likey those stickers [12:13] nixternal: should I add yours on there too? [12:13] i don't care ;) [12:13] add um, hack um, do whatever ;) [12:13] Actually, I think I should write a report of my activity to the ML... [12:13] hehe ;) [12:13] =) [12:14] actually, it might be best to just commit them to bzr - we have some diy in there... damn I gotta make some order in that :( [12:15] OK - I won't touch them now, but ASAP, I'll try to figure out the best way for us to store such data. [12:15] im talking to one of the Ubuntu Chicago guys at Ubucon right now..he is on his blackberry, chillin' with Corey Burger at the Gnome booth === jenda inclines towards the simplicity of the ssh server. [12:15] aww [12:15] i didn't know you could jabber with a blackberry [12:20] nixternal: Aha - I see. Yours include Kubuntu and the rest... [12:20] I wonder if I could sell those if I printed them. [12:21] (Oh, and BTW, all those stickers aren't my design. I worked only on the case badges - Ville "Commodore" Sokk designed the rest) [12:24] i just whipped the ones on that page up in less then 5 minutes i think [12:24] the hardest part was the rounded rectangle ;) [12:24] you should include a batch with the url nixternal [12:25] that way people that dont know what it is can just go to the website [12:26] i can that [12:26] that is actually a great idea === nixternal gets to work [12:28] nixternal, I have a suggestion... [12:28] http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Stickers/poweredbyubuntularge.svg [12:29] That might be a good base for a "download Ubuntu at www.ubuntu.com" sticker...

[08:57] jenda, the dark red, you mean? I'm afraid of that myself [08:58] hello people [08:59] Madpilot: if you are tweaking, how about removing the "linux"? [09:00] keep the linux, thats what Ubuntu is [09:00] or changing it to GNU/linux [09:00] arg, that stinkin' GNU always shovin' its nose in ;) [09:00] RMS/Linux ;) [09:00] lol [09:00] arg, rms is over with [09:01] Thank you for taking part in the Microsoft Future Assured Quiz. [09:01] Your copy of Windows Vista Beta 2 CD will be dispatched shortly [09:01] just because people are still making the mistake that the OS is called "Ubuntu Linux" and we should avoid encouraging that [09:01] Madpilot: I mean the color break... I'd go with a single color [09:01] haha [09:01] jenda, how much do your stickers cost? [09:02] Madpilot, nixternal, the name is Ubuntu - not Ubnutu Linux... [09:02] elkbuntu: $3 for 10, $5 for 20, $10 for 50 [09:02] well "linux for human beings" wouldn't fit [09:02] err... make thta $8 for 40 - I don't have 50 left anymore :-D [09:02] yeah, nothing is better [09:02] nixternal, it would, but not readably :) [09:02] and like i said...you are free to change it [09:02] which currency? [09:03] im not changing it [09:03] nixternal: what's the reason, you just don't have time, or you actively want to promote the name "Ubuntu linux"? [09:03] and im willing to wait for the next batch [09:03] i created revision 1, release it to the world..the great thing about open source is people can do what ever they want with..im promoting open source, go ahead and hack away ;) [09:04] I don't know how to change that, and Madpilot seems to be playing with it now, so I thought I'd mention it [09:04] that, and im about to goto bed ;) [09:04] nixternal, personlly, "Ubuntu Linux - Linux for Human Beings" is like saying "Automatic Teller Machine Machine" (for ATM Machine) [09:04] i will change it eventually ;) [09:04] http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured2.png [09:04] i was going to do it earlier, but got sidetracked [09:05] nice [09:05] well see, if im sitting n the cafe, which i normall do, and people see "Powered by Ubuntu Linux" then they don't ask me what Ubuntu is, and i stay peaceful ;) [09:05] looks good Madpilot ;) [09:05] thnx [09:05] Madpilot, a. like the shadow, b. move "ubuntu" down a wee bit [09:07] use the source, elkbuntu ;) http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured2.svg [09:07] what's 'a wee bit'? into the middle of the box it's in? [09:08] meh, i was just suggesting, it looks odd being non-centered without the 'linux' bit at the bottom to balance it [09:08] true [09:12] our wiki is garbage [09:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy [09:13] mdke: updated!!! [09:13] ;) [09:13] I knew if i nagged enough... [09:13] thanks [09:13] lol [09:14] i forgot just how simple it was to just remove the linux anyways [09:14] nixternal, isn't SVG cool? :) [09:14] that is a great thing w/o a doubt [09:14] i just wish i was better with it [09:17] practice practice practice ;) [09:19] open Inkscape for half an hour every day and just mess around [09:19] http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu-distorted1.png [09:20] looks like a donut that sat out in the sun for to long [09:20] heh [09:20] got sat on by a cop, perhaps ;) [09:21] http://www.warbard.ca/temp/C152-photo2.png - photo converted into SVG, effects added in Inkscape [09:29] Madpilot, nixternal, do you think I could ask you to upload your results to doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing? [09:30] I PM'd you both the password. [09:30] The password is to be given freely to all MT members who need it [09:30] i was gonna say...i am not that cool :) but i guess i am ;) [09:31] jenda, the wiki can store files just fine - why spread things out further? [09:31] And... there's a DIY diractory - Please make an appropriately named subdir for your work :) [09:31] Madpilot: it would be a pain to store all the stuff in the DIY on the wiki. [09:31] A lot of work, that is. [09:31] put it under stickers jenda? [09:32] nixternal, yes, but please make it a Batch 2 directory [09:32] k [09:32] are we talking svn commit here? [09:32] since I will be picking for those for the second batch... [09:33] nixternal, nope. We have a bzr branch, but it seems to be of no use - it's not accessible through browser. [09:33] ahhh ha [09:33] gotcha [09:34] Madpilot: or is there a simpler way? [09:35] jenda, for file storage? Not really, AFAIK [09:35] Now the wiki should link to the material, I agree. [09:35] So - please don't hesitate to link to that directory whereever appropriate. [09:36] im definitely lost [09:36] hm? [09:36] use the bzr branch on launchpad to upload to? [09:36] no! ;) [09:37] how else am i to upload to doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing?

[09:44] It would seem overkill to put all of those things on the wiki.

Am I the only Gnome user here? [09:54] hehe [09:54] ask in #ubuntu ;-) [09:55] I would use console [09:55] lol [09:56] I could, but I'd like to get it set up in Nautilus - so convenient [09:56] convinient, thats why I use konqui sometimes for that [09:57] 3am and i start a freakin' vmware install [09:57] like i need another linux distro running in vmware [09:57] Madpilot: Gnome here [09:57] but I can't see what's wrong there..

[09:58] yep [09:59] Madpilot: hmm... when you click Connect to Server, don't forget to select SSH, since FTP is default... [09:59] mindspin, it's an outgoing SSH connection, I know they work, I just can't remember how to get Naut to cooperate :) [09:59] jenda, done that [09:59] hm [09:59] jenda, ...schwaaaa? ssh.. click.. wtf? [09:59] works OK here [09:59] elkbuntu: sorry :) [09:59] scp ftw [10:00] Madpilot: try setting /home/marketing/ as the directory... maybe we don't have permissions elsewhere.. [10:00] elkbuntu: could you send me an email with your order? I'll put you in the queue if folks don't ask for what they've ordered... [10:01] Damn, I think I'll order the next batch straight away. [10:01] jenda, what currency do you need the $$ in? === jenda slaps himself [10:01] No! [10:01] Gotta wait for feedback [10:01] That was USD, but I happily accept euro too [10:01] different price in that. [10:01] How many would you like, elkbuntu? [10:02] jenda, /home/marketing works - the server wasn't liking the short forms... :| [10:02] jenda, just 10 [10:03] jenda, im presuming you accept paypal too :P [10:04] yes [10:04] Madpilot: great ;) [10:04] then i'll definately send to you in euro, so paypal doesnt steal too much of it, they like to hike the exchange rates in their favour [10:05] unless you're in the states.. hard to tell with cloaked hostmasks :P [10:09] No, i'm in the Czech Republic... [10:09] and I thought USD transfers were cheaper... or at least last time I checked... [10:09] $0.30 vs 0.35... [10:09] jenda, not when you then transfer it from usd to euro [10:10] ah [10:10] wow ;) [10:10] tricks [10:10] they get twice the hidden exchange fee then ;) [10:10] So, how many would you like? [10:10] ah [10:10] 10 [10:10] missed it [10:10] i'm writing the email now, that way you cant forget [10:10] OK ;) [10:11] thx [10:11] it's easier to track that way.

I think it could make it to be a story as soon as I get a bit of feedback on from the end-users. THen i'll print a second batch, and then a bit of refridgeration would be great. I will even offer stickers for free who send stamped envelopes ;) [11:47] Except I'm not sure how I'll manage that part internationally. They'll probably have to send a dollar bill instead of a stamped envelope to pay for Czech stamps here... === jenda saw that the fridge already had a 'free stickers' story, but the difference is that i send them out in bulk to local Marketeers :) [11:49] Yep, that's great. [11:49] I'm sure we can do a follow-up [11:49] I think I prefer your stickers, particularly as you offer a Czech version :) [11:52] hehe [11:52] I was planning a french one, but I was afraid I wouldn't find enough of a 'market'. === jenda joins #ubuntu-fr and asks around a bit...

[12:48] jenda, i can do something, and no need to worry about any bonus [12:48] hehe :) [12:49] I don't mind sending 10 more. The printer gave me a bonus anyway :) [12:49] hehe [12:49] i wouldnt know what to do with the extra 10 [12:49] i only have 3 machines [12:51] Spread the love. [12:51] I made it 8, because that way I don't have to cut as much. [12:52] Ooh, australia. That'll probably make good use of the extra 0.50 ;) [12:53] ;) [12:53] jenda: would you mind if I sent a couple to Sweden? A guy just requested some from me. [12:54] sounds like you are running a regular printing racket, jenda :-) [12:54] MenZa, you can make the site for him for the bonus stickers ;) [12:54] MenZa: well what can I do ;) [12:54] elkbuntu: great idea! ;) [12:54] jenda: it was more the fact that I already sold them to you :) [12:54] elkbuntu: MenZa has his own stickers which i bought off him... I don't remember why, though :) [12:55] so you can have a collection? [12:55] MenZa: can you do basic web design? [12:55] jenda: I can. Why? [12:55] elkbuntu: of 300 extra sticks? sure... :-D === matthewrevell [i=synchron@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:55] jenda, well.. case stickers dont necissarily have to show any of the case :D [12:56] MenZa: we'll make a deal - you'll make me a simple one page ubuntu-themed site (no real content needed), and you can send all you want... [12:56] jenda: deal. Do you have any mockups ready? [12:56]
