| Mitch | bah. | 06:56 |
| Mitch | thanks =) | 06:56 |
| tonyyarusso | Speaking of whom, what were the 'complaints' that made ubuntupeople.com shut down, and will the site ever come back up under new administration? | 06:57 |
| nixternal | guy who ran it didn't like the fact he wasnt' in control..and no it will never come back | 06:57 |
| poningru | tonyyarusso: the point of that was to bring marketing more into lp/ubuntuforums | 06:57 |
| Burgundavia | tonyyarusso: we are better we off without a duplicative forum | 06:57 |
| nixternal | ubuntupeople was to become spreadubuntu | 06:57 |

| Mitch | off to go play my nightly dos of video games. | 06:58 |
| Mitch | cheers | 06:58 |
| tonyyarusso | poningru: Ah. Shouldn't the page just go away entirely then, rather than having that message? Or maybe "See <link to lp>"? | 06:58 |
| nixternal | something lloyd i think | 06:58 |
| nixternal | i can't remember his name | 06:58 |

| livingdaylight | YO! | 10:19 |
| livingdaylight | mornin Folks | 10:19 |
| livingdaylight | G'day to ya Alz! | 10:19 |
| livingdaylight | is this another dead ubuntu channel? | 10:20 |
| Madpilot | actually, this is usually a fairly active channel - just not tonight, I guess | 10:21 |
| livingdaylight | i was wondering where i might get a leaflet ? | 10:21 |
| Madpilot | a leaflet explaining Ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| livingdaylight | in the Examples folder there is a Kubuntu 'leaflet' and i wanted an Ubuntu version to print off so i could put my extra ubuntu discs i ordered in a library | 10:22 |
| livingdaylight | hmmmm...... | 10:24 |
| Madpilot | livingdaylight, looks like a cool leaflet - don't think there's an Ubuntu version yet | 10:24 |
| livingdaylight | Madpilot: if i was a bit of a gimp mage i coult just replace the k with the u but that would be beyond my gimp skills repertoire | 10:25 |
| livingdaylight | why put a kubuntu leaflet and not the ubuntu version when that has to be more popular version | 10:26 |
| Madpilot | well, there are other differences between Kubuntu & Ubuntu aside from the one consonant ;) | 10:26 |
| Madpilot | livingdaylight, because someone made the Kubuntu one, and there was no Ubuntu one | 10:26 |
| livingdaylight | let me see: as far as i recall its a basic intro to linux and ubuntu | 10:27 |
| Madpilot | most of that would be a straight cut-n-paste to produce a Ubuntu version | 10:28 |
| Madpilot | livingdaylight, if you want to help produce an Ubuntu version of that, that would be cool | 10:29 |

| livingdaylight | Madpilot: sorry, got disconnected | 10:35 |
| Madpilot | np. did you see my last comment, about helping to produce an Ubuntu version of that pamphlet? | 10:36 |
| livingdaylight | sure i'd like to make an Ubuntu version, i think it would be nice. But like i said i am not a Gimp Mage | 10:36 |
| livingdaylight | it goes beyond my reportoire of gimp skills | 10:36 |
| livingdaylight | which are basically reducing an image to an acceptable Avatar size :D | 10:37 |
| Madpilot | actually, Inkscape would be better for that type of project. It handles text far better than the GIMP | 10:37 |
| livingdaylight | ok! | 10:37 |
| livingdaylight | well, it would be a very steep learning-curve for me | 10:38 |
| livingdaylight | but you sound like somone who could knock it out in 5 minutes | 10:38 |
| livingdaylight | :D | 10:39 |
| Madpilot | if you write the text and email it to me, I could have it prettied up in Inkscape in an hour or so, I think ;) | 10:40 |
| livingdaylight | woah! ok, but the text is just a matter of replacing kubuntu with ubuntu pretty much isn't it? | 10:41 |
| Madpilot | most of it is | 10:42 |
| Madpilot | the stuff at the top of the righthand column would have to be re-written | 10:43 |
| livingdaylight | the paragraph of what Kubuntu includes? | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | yes, aguess ubuntu doesn't include Konqueror or Kontact | 10:46 |
| Madpilot | no | 10:46 |
| livingdaylight | ;) | 10:46 |
| Madpilot | Evolution for email, Nautilus for file management, Firefox for browsing | 10:46 |
| livingdaylight | so, just replace those three words, huh? | 10:47 |
| === rjian236 [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| === rjian236 is now known as rjian | ||
| Madpilot | not sure, have a look thru the text properly first | 10:50 |
| livingdaylight | so, ok, descriptions for evolution, Nautilus and Firefox are differnt from those corresponding kubuntu ones. but no big deal. just a brief explanation of each application | 10:54 |
| livingdaylight | i'd be happy to do it but gimp and inkscape are not within my repertoire | 10:54 |
| livingdaylight | i'm looking at it from inkspace now | 10:54 |
| livingdaylight | how would i take out a section and replace it with my own write up? | 10:55 |
| livingdaylight | especialy teh logo ubuntu wants to be inteh same font as teh rest to remain congruent with the rest of teh leaflet | 10:55 |
| === rjian[O-U-T] [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Madpilot | livingdaylight, if you want to do the writing & email it to me - blurdesign@gmail.com - I'll do the design from scratch in Inkscape | 10:58 |
| KenSentMe | Madpilot: i wouldn't paste your email in here, this channel is being logged | 10:59 |
| Madpilot | pfft. | 10:59 |
| Madpilot | Gmail has awesome spam filters :) | 10:59 |
| KenSentMe | Madpilot: good way to test them ;) | 11:00 |
| Madpilot | it's not like it isn't already all over the web | 11:00 |
| KenSentMe | Madpilot: it was just a tip | 11:00 |
| Madpilot | I know, but it's not something I worry about, personally. | 11:00 |
| KenSentMe | Well, that's up to you | 11:01 |
| livingdaylight | i can vouch for gmail's powerful spam filters | 11:01 |
| livingdaylight | my box is full! | 11:01 |
| livingdaylight | Madpilot: ok, i'll be in touch | 11:02 |
| Madpilot | http://www.warbard.ca/temp/ubuntu-pamphlet01.png | 11:04 |
| Madpilot | basic graphics done | 11:04 |
| livingdaylight | wow, NICE! | 11:04 |
| livingdaylight | i gotta learn that stuff. cant be hard right? | 11:05 |
| Madpilot | Inkscape is awesome, and not that hard to get into | 11:05 |
| Madpilot | far easier to learn than the gimp, I think | 11:05 |
| livingdaylight | is there a good tutorial for beginners? | 11:06 |
| Madpilot | there are several - just a sec, I'll find the URLs | 11:06 |
| Madpilot | http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/ | 11:06 |
| livingdaylight | Thank you, i've bookmarked that | 11:07 |
| Madpilot | that one ^^^, and check the onboard help files inside Inkscape - they're very well done, and almost all in SVG, so you can learn by rearranging the entire help file :) | 11:07 |
| livingdaylight | and the text: is there an Ubuntu font or do you just copy and paste and then rearrange the size? | 11:08 |
| Madpilot | no, there's an Ubuntu font | 11:08 |
| livingdaylight | ok, why havn't i got that in my font dropdown then? | 11:08 |
| livingdaylight | do i need to install that extra? | 11:08 |
| livingdaylight | i'd a thought that comes default | 11:09 |
| Madpilot | it's in the repos, actually. search Synaptic for ubuntu font | 11:09 |
| livingdaylight | k | 11:09 |
| Madpilot | found it - ttf-ubuntu-title | 11:10 |
| livingdaylight | Yea, now we're talking ;) | 11:10 |
| livingdaylight | ... it | 11:11 |
| livingdaylight | was made available by Canonical under the LGPL to make rebranding | 11:11 |
| livingdaylight | of Ubuntu easier. | 11:11 |
| livingdaylight | isn't that sweet? | 11:11 |
| Madpilot | very useful | 11:12 |
| Madpilot | livingdaylight, don't worry about fonts - just send me the text, I'll do the formatting on this ned | 11:17 |
| Madpilot | end, even | 11:17 |
| livingdaylight | and even? | 11:21 |
| Madpilot | just correcting my misspelling of 'end' on the previous line | 11:22 |
| livingdaylight | sorry :) | 11:22 |

| Burgwork | nixternal, no, never noticed it | 06:37 |
| nixternal | https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-newsletter | 06:37 |
| nixternal | heh, it is the originators of the UWN i guess | 06:37 |
| nixternal | also, have we decided to switch the template on the UWN as well to the one you used originally? i know it got swapped back here by mistake | 06:38 |
| nixternal | i want to edit the main template to prevent that from happening again | 06:38 |
| Burgwork | sure, sounds good | 06:38 |
| nixternal | k..i will do that here in a few, and fire up the next edition as well while im at it | 06:38 |

| nixternal | Burgwork: you know where the Ubuntu California people got their booth setup? there could possibly be a tradeshow in Chicago in the near future called "Uberfest" | 11:19 |
| nixternal | it is something the LUGs are currently puting together | 11:19 |
| Burgwork | nixternal, their stuff came from canonical | 11:19 |
| Burgwork | they only had one banner | 11:19 |
| nixternal | i seen the nice lookin' setup they had in the pictures..looked like more than 1 banner... | 11:19 |
| Burgwork | that was canonicals booth | 11:20 |
| nixternal | ahhh | 11:20 |
| Burgwork | the large wall banner? | 11:20 |
| nixternal | well then, i will strike up conversation with Canonical and let htem know that there is an interest here in Chicago for a FOSS tradeshow, and right now Red Hat and Google have expressed their interest since they are in Chicago | 11:20 |
| nixternal | i didn't see the california setup..i was referring to the canonical setup | 11:21 |
| Burgwork | the ca setup was one banner that canonical brought with them | 11:22 |
| nixternal | who would you recommend i contact at canonical to see if they would even be interested first off? | 11:23 |
| nixternal | it is easy for us to create banners, as we have a couple of "Printers" on the team | 11:24 |
| Burgwork | jane | 11:24 |
| nixternal | kind of thought she would be..cool..thank you sir | 11:24 |
| === nixternal gets back to doing work for this god for sakin' no good client | ||
| Burgwork | in the future, this kind of thing will be jono's | 11:25 |
| nixternal | ooh good point | 11:25 |
| nixternal | will keep that in my mind..as this isn't happening for probably another 3 to 6 months | 11:25 |
| nixternal | im leaning towards the 6 months | 11:25 |
| Burgwork | nixternal, you tell adam that he is rich and should help finance it | 11:28 |
| nixternal | heh, he is helping me possibly with a booth already ;) | 11:28 |
