[09:59] jenda, an Ubuntu version of the Kubuntu leaflet that's in example-content [09:59] Aha [09:59] alrighty [10:00] BTW, I'm thinking of having posters and/or leaflets printed out en masse and shipped out like the stickers [10:00] (The stickers were an experimental/proof of concept batch for this reason) [10:00] livingdaylight was wondering why there wasn't an Ubuntu version already, I told him to email me the text for it, and I'd do the design work - he did the text, I still haven't finished the layout in Inkscape [10:02] Sounds good [10:02] if it looks good - I'll use it ;) [10:02] But I'm inclined more towards posters, really. [10:03] Madpilot: I'm still wondering why there isn't an Ubuntu version! [10:04] I must ask Mark next time i see him ^^ [10:04] jenda, basic layout, w/o text: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/ubuntu-pamphlet01.png [10:05] Alrighty, I gotta go now though. [10:05] livingdaylight, like I said when you first asked, "Because nobody made one" :) [10:05] Looks good - could even be made into a poster [10:05] it could be, actually, although there's really too much text planned for it to be a good poster. [10:05] Madpilot: That basic layout is juicy. Me likes. And you did that in like 5 seconds - Amazing! [10:05] Madpilot: you think you could tone a bit _from_ pink _towards_ brown? ;) [10:05] that layout would work for posters, though [10:06] yes, that's what I had in mind [10:06] jenda, you mean the brownish colour in the two large boxes? [10:06] its not even connecting for me Madpilot :| [10:06] Madpilot: is it now just about copy and pasting the text into text boxes? [10:06] nah, I meant the background. Looks a little too pink to me. [10:07] livingdaylight, when I finish writing the text, yes [10:07] background is a nice apricot color - not pink [10:07] jenda, it's orange shading to white - not sure where you get pink from :) [10:07] Madpilot: was my text not good? [10:07] elkbuntu, no? it's my standard webspace, it should work... [10:07] Madpilot: i'm getting apricot flavor - yum [10:08] Madpilot: must be my eyes ;) [10:08] livingdaylight, it's fine, but you left several paragraphs as "identical to original" which means I have to retype them, that's all [10:08] Madpilot, i cant say i've ever gotten to warbard.ca and i've oft tried to see the link in your quit message === jenda runs off [10:08] elkbuntu, very strange - I've had the domain for several years now... [10:08] Madpilot thought it'd be just a matter of copy and pasting it [10:08] livingdaylight, you can't copy & paste out of a png [10:09] Madpilot, it gives the timeout error [10:09] elkbuntu, odd [10:09] Madpilot: change png to something else? open in gimp or something? [10:09] livingdaylight, wouldn't help - you can't copy text out of a bitmapped image [10:09] Madpilot, you dont have any ips/hosts/whatever banned from it do you? [10:10] elkbuntu, I don't, no, but the provider might, I guess [10:10] until now i'd figured it was run from a home server that you turned off each night or something [10:10] nope, I pay actual money for that webspace ;) [10:12] Madpilot: are you saying if i typed those texts which i ommitted i.e where the paragraphs are simply replaced with Ubunut, it would make your life alot easier? [10:12] livingdaylight, it would have, but I've done most of the re-typing already, so no worries [10:12] Madpilot: sorry, man === PlHL [n=pihl@port134.ds1-gjp.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:31] http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/8581/ubpamphletprogress2pi2.png <-- WiP shot of the Ubuntu leaflet; got the first half of the text done === Klaidas [n=klaidas@unaffiliated/klaidas] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:33] Looks very good, Madpilot [11:34] thanks - and it's on imageshack this time so even elkbuntu can see it ;) [11:36] wow.. probably better than i could do. im not so good at doing "glossy" stuff [11:36] although.. what about some justified alignment? === jenda doesn't like justified ;) [11:37] But I'm in the minority on that. [11:37] it makes some things more readable [11:38] jenda: thanks for sending the Ubuntu Stickers [11:38] KenSentMe: thx for support ;) [11:38] jenda: they arrived within a few days, perfect [11:38] === willvdl [n=will@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === willvdl [n=will@196.36.161.235] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["No] === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:55] elkbuntu, Inkscape currently can't do fully justified alignment :| [11:55] Madpilot, o.O [11:55] how rude === elkbuntu gives inkscape a good ol' spankin' [11:56] well, 0.43 can't; 0.44 might be able to, but I haven't installed it from backports yet [11:59] I'm quite sure it can... [11:59] It can even justify along curves :) === elkbuntu_ [n=melissa@ppp47-101.lns2.syd6.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:07] what did i miss? [12:11] ummm... some silence [12:11] what was the last thing you guys saw from me? [12:11] :) [12:12] elkbuntu, your comment about doing rude things to inkscape ;) [12:12] gah.. i just realised how far behind in constructing the surveys this awful flu has put me [12:13] thats what i said after that [12:13] not here, you didn't [12:13] last i saw from anyone was jenda saying it can justify along curves [12:14] but that was before i said the last bit.. oh well.. flu still messing with me [12:14] lag [12:14] i considered the possibility but after 5 minutes of nothing even from #ubuntu i decided to reconnect :P [12:15] elkbuntu, my quit message link on imageshack, because my domain doesn't like you: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/3285/cthulhubuntulogooj7.png [12:15] ;) [12:16] i discovered i can use a web proxy to see the site but those things are annoying [12:16] ROFL! [12:16] ++ [12:17] elkbuntu, which country are you in? [12:17] Hahahaa... [12:17] australia [12:17] I'm going to fire a trouble ticket off to my webspace provider, asking why you can't see my site [12:18] before you do, would you like me to check with some other people with the same isp? [12:19] sure - is internode a nation-wide ISP down there? [12:20] not sure about nationwide but it certainly covers more than one state [12:20] if Kamping_Kaiser would stop installing windows and novell we might be able to ask him here [12:21] well, if I bug my space provider, we can at least find out if the problem is them or your ISP - ie, which end the blocking/filtering is happening at... [12:21] yeah [12:22] (speaking of webspace) MitchM, ping [12:25] elkbuntu, I'm going to crash - it's past 0300 here - but let me know tomorrow if other internode users can see my site [12:25] yep sure. sleep well [12:25] or get my email address from my wiki.u.c user page [12:25] im sure we'll speak tomorrow [12:26] I'm usually around :) [12:26] g'night [12:27] night === hybrid [n=x@dpc6745217221.direcpc.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:09] elkbuntu, node is national [01:09] and i havent had blockiing issues === Kamping_Kaiser hugs elkbuntu . dont blame me, i need them for tafe === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === livingdaylight [n=conrad-l@82-45-204-76.cable.ubr03.camd.blueyonder.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === livingdaylight [n=conrad-l@82-45-204-76.cable.ubr03.camd.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === livingdaylight [n=conrad-l@82-45-204-76.cable.ubr03.camd.blueyonder.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === mindspin [n=mindspin@pD95FE5F4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgwork [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Cogito_ergo_sum [n=c27@201.210.108.110] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Cogito_ergo_sum [n=c27@201.210.108.110] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mitchese [n=mitchese@static24-89-85-64.regina.accesscomm.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:24] hey all... im looking for ubuntu pamphlets which i can hand out to family members / friends ... something along the lines of openoffice's marketing found here: http://marketing.openoffice.org/2.0/marketingmaterials.html [06:24] are there any ready-made ones (all I could find on the wiki was presentations) === MenZa [n=menza@0x50a1169b.kd4nxx12.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:46] mitchese, DIYMarketing has some and madpilot has also been working on one === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] [06:54] ah thanks for that :) === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [07:38] ping elkbuntu === mindspin [n=mindspin@pD95FE5F4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === somerville32 [n=somervil@fctnnbsc15w-156034073036.nb.aliant.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === MagicFab [n=magicfab@modemcable113.78-83-70.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === astopy [n=nnnnadam@taurus.moosoft.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Leaving"]
