[12:51] ah no email here === spiral777 [n=spiral@ip70-186-103-228.ma.dl.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:52] ok I see it. [12:56] Ubuntu and ubuntu video made news in israel: http://net.nana.co.il/Article/?ArticleID=391090&sid=127 [12:56] no idea what it says but they link to both and captured shots from a lot of the videos [12:57] thats a huge site..ranked in the top 500 by alexa [12:58] wow [12:59] I just hope people start making something besides xgl videos..im going to run out in a couple of weeks [12:59] if the pace doesn't pick up. I think it will though. People are emailing and saying they will make new vids. [01:08] johnlittle: I'll be sure not to make xgl videos :) [01:15] lophyte: lol thx [01:15] johnlittle: you already saw a couple of ideas for our videos... they're pretty creative\ [01:15] yeah i'm looking forward to seeing those [01:17] did you see the suse videos on my blog? [01:17] nope [01:17] http://www.johnlittle.org/ [01:17] suse is doing great stuff with video [01:21] from this video project, I'm hoping to initiate a Toronto team, and (hopefully) have similar success as nixternal has been having in Chicago [01:21] I was reading something he wrote on the mailing list about it and it was inspirational [01:24] LOL that date with SuSE video is awesome [01:25] You can definitely find some ubuntu users in toronto...it shoudl be ripe for a ubuntu charge [01:25] lophyte: have you ended up meeting up with anybody from toronto? Is there anything I can help you with, as your Loco Team leader? [01:26] Burgundavia: a few of us are meeting on Wednesday to discuss this video project [01:28] I'm essentially just making Ubuntu Canada more local.. that's my goal [01:28] that works [01:28] I need to figure out a good Canada wide project, but I am still stuck [01:29] how about a national grassroots marketing day? [01:30] pick a day, organize teams by city, and have them go out to the streets and market Ubuntu as much as they can [01:30] grassroots marketing = selling weed in canada ;p [01:30] LOL [01:31] we could do that on SFC [01:31] SFD, rather [01:31] SFD? [01:32] software freedom day [01:32] ah.. when's that? [01:32] sept, early [01:33] 16th [01:33] there we go [01:34] hrm.. that doesn't give us much time [01:35] partnering with a LUG might be a good way to jump start everything [01:36] http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6054183834057243507&q=apple+keynote&hl=en [01:38] steve jobs scares me [01:39] lol [01:39] very cool presentation [01:41] anybody create a bug #2 and include this guy ;) [01:41] haha, rofl :-D [01:42] It's a lot better than Steve Balmer, you know;) [01:42] 50% of 1.33m units sold were to new users [01:42] if i watch 2 more minutes of this i'll have to rush out and buy a macbook and black turtleneck [01:42] their commercials work, because deep down, apple sucks just like microsoft ;) [01:42] muhehe [01:43] whoa, no more power macs [01:43] oooh...dude im drooling on hardwoare ;) [01:45] yeah..its nice === johnlittle wonders if nixternal is an apple mole [01:50] ;p [01:50] muhahha [01:50] dude, you will never ever see me using an apple os, but i will use apple hardware w/o a doubt [01:51] as soon as this new pro comes out..im getting one [01:51] same old story for me..i love the apple hardware but i truly hate the OS [01:53] i like these: http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra20/ === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:23] Burgundavia: you still around? [02:23] lophyte: yep [02:23] Burgundavia: you wanna try and organize that for SFD? [02:23] I'll help out [02:23] sure. I know the local lug is doing something [02:23] I need to collect a list of lug email addys, basically [02:23] Burgundavia, the local lug is doing something aside from argue & drink beer?! [02:24] Madpilot: they are piggy-backing with BB&C and the photo people [02:25] cool [02:28] Burgundavia: I'll see what the Toronto guys say and we'll go from there... maybe you should post something on the website, and to the mailing list? [02:28] sure, but not tonight [02:28] alright [02:29] that leaves us with roughly 3 weeks [02:29] I'm not sure if that's enough time.. we'd need CDs [02:29] it'd take longer than that to order a batch of them === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:36] yep [02:37] we can get some in earlier, if we talk to the rigth peope [02:37] hey Burgundavia, just so you know, make it quick...as there have been some recent issues with shipit [02:38] they are backed up big time..as i was getting mine for Ubuntu Chicago within 7 days every rip..and the last batch i ordered they called me and said, they were having issues and were kind of backordered [02:38] right [02:39] SFD is probably creating the issues [02:39] i have the ladies name if you don't yet [02:39] very well could have been [02:39] and i bet it was actually [02:39] didn't even think of that [02:39] marilize? yes, I have met her personaly [02:39] ok cool [02:39] she is really nice [02:42] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/files/44501-DSCN4758.JPG [02:45] Burgundavia: keep me posted about that so I can order a batch for the Toronto team [02:45] ok, will do [02:45] is the opencd still ubuntu live ? [02:46] nixternal: what kinds of activities have you been doing with Ubuntu Chicago on a regular basis? [02:46] everything [02:46] demos, install fests and what not [02:47] where do you do the demos? [02:47] I'm trying to get ideas for the Toronto team.. I have a few but it can't hurt to have more [02:47] computer shows, festivles and what not [02:48] ahh.. how much does it usually cost for a booth at a computer show? [02:49] lots, but for a non-profit, not too much [02:49] i think we pay for 3 tables + 1 free for like $150 i think [02:49] you can sometimes even get them for nothing [02:49] ah, that's not too bad [02:49] if the group pools money together [02:49] and we setup a machine for each distro, and then a gaming rig, and an xgl rig [02:50] actually..they just hammered our local show, and the guy stopped it..it was a great show, as we would do one day at the booth, and then on sunday we would do the install fests [02:50] I wanted to do a street team.. basically find a busy street corner and hand out CDs [02:50] damn I should go to sleep... [02:50] we do that quite a bit actually [02:50] does it work well? [02:50] sleep is for the dead [02:50] Good night ;) [02:50] g'nite jendapoo [02:50] ;) [02:54] nixternal: thanks for the tips.. I'll have to see where things go with the Toronto team [02:57] lophyte: I emailed marilize asking if they were backed up [02:58] Burgundavia: alright.. what do we do if they are? [02:58] we order some [02:59] yeah... we don't *have* to have this national marketing day on SFD.. it'd just be nice [03:00] if we can't get CDs by then, we can always schedule for a later date === Steggy [n=josh_ste@p119n38.163.63.ruraltel.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=IHMC@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [04:02] hello people [04:15] hello Burgundavia and Elkbuntu === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [04:15] hey rjian [04:17] all people are BZ here.. hehe [04:18] BZ?

[06:34] none, cuz he was pimpin' gnome ;) [06:35] hehe [06:35] Thought he was reppin ubuntu in some capacity too [06:36] of course...he always reps ubuntu ;) [06:36] it was the GNOME booth, which just happened to only have Ubuntu and DiscoverStation on showcase [06:36] haha [06:37] so was there an ubuntu booth? [06:37] two actually [06:37] staffed with canonical peeps? [06:37] one with canonical in the main area and in the .org, the california team [06:37] ubuntu california i think [06:37] UWN talks about it [06:38] heh [06:38] i retained nothing from that 4am editing session lol [06:39] burgundavia: nice prank..wouldnt want to get caught doing that tho [06:40] what, in the GNOME booth? [06:40] nah the video you posted [06:40] mr. terrorist [06:40] right [06:41] which one is better, easyubuntu or automatix? [06:41] actually...probably doesn't matter..as i bet neither are ready for edgy [06:42] neither [06:42] see CommonCustomizations [06:43] heh, already had that open ;) [06:44] that is all you need to know [06:44] these are the third party hacks you are looking for [06:46] btw I killed slab...probably great for a lot of people but too limited for me. [06:47] too limited how? [06:48] Maybe not limited but too many clicks required if you do lots of system and administrative stuff through the menus. I don't want to pop up additional windows to pick an app [06:51] I like my GNOME drawer for common apps anyway [06:54] If I was going to setup a relative with ubuntu I'd probably install slab. I think it's an easy transition for Windows users [06:55] right, except it all the issues of the start menu [06:55] well, maybe not all of them [06:55] I wouldn't do anything. Simply tell them about the menu is different. They will take about 30 secs to realize the difference and then love it [06:55] we have to stop assuming Windows users are not willing to change [06:56] I support 34.000 windows users at work. Many of them are not willing to change anything. Point taken though [06:57] whip|lwe supports 2800 and they get the default desktop [06:57] users will use what they get, in a corporate environment [06:58] Yep but pushing change can be extremely difficult. esp in a non-technical environment [06:58] we move an icon and it can be months of frustration [06:58] but im in healthcare - one of the worst places for that kind of stuff by far [07:00] I had a far easier time with systems changes at places like NASA...there was resistance but not incompetence [07:03] anyone read hebrew?
