[12:41] <nixternal> yo yo yo
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <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
[12:46] <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
[02:12] <poningru> arr?
[02:13] <poningru> except only... 50 cds, 5 kubuntu
[02:15] <poningru> our local celebrity
[02:15] <poningru> except more... global
[02:15] <elkbuntu> :)
[06:08] <poningru> yarr
[06:10] <Madpilot> Mrh?
[06:12] <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?
[06:13] <poningru> wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/PressTeam
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <Burgundavia> yep
[06:15] <Burgundavia> are the results somewhere?
[06:15] <poningru> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PressTeam/EPK
[08:24] <jenda> Have a look at one of the poster proposals: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15360&d=1157515086
[08:26] <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"
[08:29] <Burgundavia> jenda: where is that thread?
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <jenda> ah, thx Madpilot
[08:33] <Madpilot> yeah, I like it too
[08:34] <jenda> hehe :)
[08:34] <jenda> Madpilot: if you're in Canada, you should... ;)
[08:35] <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?
[08:36] <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.
[08:37] <elkbuntu>  the hand-drawn look
[08:38] <Burgundavia> I really think we need to play up our "human" palette
[08:38] <elkbuntu> definately
[08:38] <elkbuntu> especially for the average joe
[08:39] <jenda> yep
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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
[08:47] <jenda> ah.... and...
[08:47] <jenda> Burgundavia, Madpilot, elkbuntu - the contents are mirrored daily at: http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/
[08:50] <Burgundavia> cool
[08:51] <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
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <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
[08:55] <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
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <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> http://twiki.softwarelivre.org/bin/viewfile/SoftwareLivreVS/DiaLiberdadeSoftware2005?filename=cartaz-peq.jpg
[08:59] <Burgundavia> one example
[09:00] <jenda> hmm, I have no clue about that permission thing on the site.
[09:01] <jenda> nevermind - I moved it to the posters section.
[09:08] <Madpilot> http://www.warbard.ca/temp/U-poster-SVGsketch2.png
[09:09] <jenda> ripoff ;)
[09:09] <jenda> It's brown, that's a plus...
[09:09] <Burgundavia> hmm, not so keen on the verbage
[09:10] <jenda> On the 'highway' thing?
[09:10] <Burgundavia> ya
[09:10] <jenda> s/dictionary/wiktionary
[09:11] <Madpilot> 'verbiage' - Burgundavia can't spell ;)
[09:11] <Madpilot> jenda, s/ripoff/inspired by ;)
[09:11] <jenda> :)
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <jenda> 
[09:24] <Madpilot> a bit silly, but not bad for less than 20 minutes knocking around in Inkscape: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/U-poster-SVGsketch3.png
[09:30] <jenda> cool ;)
[09:30] <jenda> But I still prefer the hand drawn one...
[09:31] <Burgundavia> ugh, a big grey swath
[09:32] <Madpilot> yeah, I prefer mine w/o the road, and the hand-drawn one is still cooler.
[10:11] <jenda> hello matthewrevell
[10:12] <matthewrevell> hi

[02:43] <jenda> yes, he's working on more versions of the same.
[02:43] <jenda> aha

[02:43] <MenZa> they look nice
[02:44] <MenZa> especially the top one

[02:44] <matthewrevell> jenda: when you say "submitted", where was it submitted to?

[04:06] <matthewrevell> jenda: Cheers jenda :)
[04:06] <jenda> ;)
[04:07] <matthewrevell> Would it be stupid of me to ask how to get irssi to alert me when my nick appears in a channel?
[04:07] <matthewrevell> I've Googled it, honestly :)
[04:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> man irssi? :)
[04:12] <matthewrevell> Kamping_Kaiser: Yeah, irssi :)
[04:38] <matthewrevell> mgalvin: hey, long time no speak
[04:40] <mgalvin> matthewrevell: hey, yea, been really busy, i'm trying to get back to some ubuntu work finally
[04:40] <mgalvin> i'm glad to see the uwn is still alive and well :)
[04:44] <matthewrevell> Yeah, Corey and Rich have jumped into it
[04:50] <jenda> matthewrevell: I suspect Kamping_Kaiser wasn't saying "Irssi, man?", but rather "man irssi" :)
[04:50] <jenda> mgalvin: it seems the MT has taken the UWN up quite well ;) (unfortunately, with very little input from me)
[05:39] <jenda> MenZa: hello
[05:40] <jenda> Did you say the postage on those stickers was "$4,5 roughly"?
[08:11] <jenda> We haven't had a meeting since like... ever.
[09:24] <jenda> hehe
