| lophyte | just got me a rush-shipped box of CDs | 12:42 |
| lophyte | :) | 12:42 |
| nixternal | nice | 12:42 |
| lophyte | it was shipped on friday and got here today | 12:42 |
| nixternal | i have 500 more coming for an event we are doing with FREE GEEK | 12:42 |
| lophyte | 130 Ubuntu, 20 K and 10 Edu | 12:42 |
| nixternal | right now, i am setting up 4 boxes for a Tech Show at the Uni tomorrow | 12:42 |
| lophyte | nice | 12:42 |
| nixternal | im dead tired right now | 12:42 |
| lophyte | we're thinking about going for SFD | 12:43 |
| lophyte | having a prep meeting this Saturday to see how many people we've got | 12:43 |
| nixternal | i know i am participating in SFD with a local LUG | 12:43 |
| nixternal | i didn't get to create a team for us, so we are going to be merging with some LUGs instead | 12:44 |
| nixternal | just for SFD | 12:44 |
| lophyte | cool | 12:44 |
| lophyte | the owner of the Linux Caffe here is also a video guy.. he's going to be recording our meeting and interviewing some of us for his SFD press kit | 12:44 |
| nixternal | nice | 12:44 |
| lophyte | so we might or might not get some press exposure.. who knows | 12:44 |
| nixternal | i am trying to get some press exposure, but Chicago kind of sucks..you need a lot of money and be a big wig for exposure...it is such a politically charge thing it isn't funny | 12:46 |

| Madpilot | Mrh? | 06:10 |
| poningru | dude do you know where the press team page went? | 06:12 |
| poningru | in ubuntu wiki | 06:12 |
| Madpilot | poningru, no idea - where is it supposed to be? | 06:12 |
| poningru | wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/PressTeam | 06:13 |
| poningru | sigh nm | 06:14 |
| Burgundavia | the press team is mostly a dead idea, but it probably should be revived | 06:14 |
| Burgundavia | however, it is also something we need to liase with the local teams about | 06:14 |
| poningru | Burgundavia: I worked on a press kit during summer | 06:14 |
| Burgundavia | cool | 06:14 |
| poningru | but kinda died when I came back to school/work | 06:14 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 06:15 |

| jenda | Have a look at one of the poster proposals: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15360&d=1157515086 | 08:24 |
| Madpilot | too much text crammed into that grey box, otherwise OK | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | loose the underline | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | make Ubuntu bigger | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | use more of hte Ubuntu colours | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | like the catch phrase | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | no mention of "Linux for Human Beings" | 08:26 |
| Burgundavia | jenda: where is that thread? | 08:29 |
| Madpilot | jenda, I almost prefer the original concecpt that was posted on the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15307&d=1157428287 | 08:31 |
| Madpilot | Burgundavia, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546 | 08:31 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, will bookmark that | 08:31 |
| jenda | ah, thx Madpilot | 08:32 |
| === jenda is increasingly in favour of the hand-drawn design in that thread. | ||
| Madpilot | yeah, I like it too | 08:33 |
| === Madpilot kicks Inkscape to life, and decides that he doesn't *really* need to get to sleep yet... ;) | ||
| jenda | hehe :) | 08:34 |
| jenda | Madpilot: if you're in Canada, you should... ;) | 08:34 |
| Madpilot | it's not even midnight here yet, I'll go to sleep tomorrow :) | 08:35 |
| Burgundavia | http://www.gasteropodica.net/ablage/ubuntu/ubuntu_idea01.jpg <-- this one? | 08:35 |
| jenda | yes | 08:36 |
| Burgundavia | I love it | 08:36 |
| jenda | The more I look at it, the more I like it. | 08:36 |
| Burgundavia | even just like that | 08:36 |
| jenda | exactly :) | 08:36 |
| jenda | pre-alpha my buttocks :-D It's beautiful. | 08:36 |
| elkbuntu | the hand-drawn look | 08:37 |
| Burgundavia | I really think we need to play up our "human" palette | 08:38 |
| elkbuntu | definately | 08:38 |
| elkbuntu | especially for the average joe | 08:38 |
| jenda | yep | 08:39 |
| === ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Burgundavia | it is great to see people interested | 08:42 |
| Burgundavia | we truly need a colaborative document storage thingy | 08:42 |
| elkbuntu | to be effective, yeah | 08:42 |
| jenda | Burgundavia: expect a long email in the ML next week on the subject - although mainly on home printing and distribution of DIY material. | 08:43 |
| Burgundavia | cool | 08:43 |
| jenda | And don't forget we havea bzr branch | 08:43 |
| Burgundavia | thanks for runing that | 08:43 |
| jenda | I try to keep it full of the DIY that runs through my hands | 08:43 |
| jenda | ah.... and... | 08:47 |
| jenda | Burgundavia, Madpilot, elkbuntu - the contents are mirrored daily at: http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/ | 08:47 |
| Burgundavia | cool | 08:50 |
| Burgundavia | one of the key pieces that we might want to think about is making certain that when people come looking for a poster, they do not get overwhelmed with choice | 08:51 |
| Burgundavia | or any other sort of stuff | 08:51 |
| Madpilot | <big obvious sign>Get Yer Posters Here. Big Ones There, Small Designs Over There!</sign> | 08:53 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 08:53 |
| Burgundavia | and poster development over here | 08:53 |
| Burgundavia | hence the thought of a document managment system | 08:54 |
| ompaul | jenda this one is not visible http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/DIY-at-home/moeFinley/587337_67868245.jpg | 08:54 |
| jenda | Burgundavia: I will only be able to print one type out, so I want it tip top ;) | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | however, those are complex and horrible things to set up | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | but I will need a poster for my mall visit and lots of other people go looking for things | 08:54 |
| ompaul | in fact anything in that directory is 403 | 08:55 |
| jenda | strange... | 08:55 |
| elkbuntu | Burgundavia, while not overwhelming, there should still be some variety | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | oh, I agree | 08:56 |
| Burgundavia | but that variety should be at most 5 | 08:56 |
| elkbuntu | yeah, if that | 08:56 |
| Burgundavia | each with a different specific message | 08:56 |
| jenda | hmm | 08:56 |
| Burgundavia | here is an idea: collect all the entries you get and run a poll | 08:56 |
| elkbuntu | i'd say 3 designs | 08:56 |
| elkbuntu | yeah. and top 3 win | 08:57 |
| Madpilot | screenshot from Inkscape: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/U-poster-SVGsketch.png | 08:57 |
| jenda | Don't forget that we need the storage first :) | 08:57 |
| Burgundavia | we can probably line something up from Chris | 08:57 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, nice take on the SFG postger | 08:57 |
| Burgundavia | SFD, rather | 08:58 |
| jenda | but the storage could, and should be eventually implemented in that site you're working on, elkbuntu ...(I hope :)) | 08:58 |
| jenda | Burgundavia: link? | 08:58 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, im prioritising to surveys at the moment | 08:58 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, the flu set me behind in that :( | 08:59 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: it's alright. I'll be away for a week anyway. | 08:59 |

| Burgundavia | one example | 08:59 |
| jenda | hmm, I have no clue about that permission thing on the site. | 09:00 |

| Burgundavia | hmm, not so keen on the verbage | 09:09 |
| jenda | On the 'highway' thing? | 09:10 |
| Burgundavia | ya | 09:10 |

| Madpilot | jenda, s/ripoff/inspired by ;) | 09:11 |
| jenda | :) | 09:11 |
| jenda | Madpilot: actually, although the wikitionary has no entry, dictionary.com does... | 09:12 |
| jenda | "<spelling, jargon> /ver'b*j/ A deliberate misspelling and | 09:12 |
| jenda | mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word | 09:12 |
| jenda | "garbage". Compare content-free. More pejorative than | 09:12 |
| jenda | "verbiage"." | 09:12 |
| Madpilot | heh | 09:12 |
