| johnlittle | any thoughts on the shipit plan for edgy? | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Burgwork | johnlittle, I like it | 01:02 |
| Burgwork | a little bit of everything | 01:02 |
| Burgwork | allowing purchasing of cds is a good thing | 01:02 |
| johnlittle | I like it but I told Jane that there should be a solid communications plan in place so it isn't spun as a retreat from the projects stated objective of keeping Ubuntu free | 01:04 |
| Burgwork | here is how I would spin it: | 01:04 |
| poningru | wait what? | 01:05 |
| Burgwork | Canonical is proud to announce the availablity of CDs for purchase, alongside the existing shipit program" | 01:05 |
| poningru | link? | 01:05 |
| johnlittle | poningru it was an email to the -marketing ML | 01:05 |
| === poningru reads | ||
| poningru | sorry busy with sfd | 01:06 |
| Flannel | Burgwork: they going to ship alternate CDs again? | 01:06 |
| Burgwork | COO, Jane Silber said "For business and other groups who wish to sell Ubuntu cds, we are more than happy to provide them plenty of cds at a very nominal cost. | 01:06 |
| Burgwork | Flannel, no | 01:06 |
| Flannel | Burgwork: sigh. Do they not realize people can't upgrade from Desktop ISOs? | 01:07 |
| johnlittle | burgwork: I think it's easy enough to talk up the positives we just have to be very clear about how the new system works and make it clear that it isnt a retreat | 01:07 |
| Burgwork | yep | 01:07 |
| Burgwork | johnlittle, absolutely | 01:07 |
| Burgwork | make it clear this is an addition, not something a subtraction | 01:07 |
| Burgwork | "due to large volume of requests for such a service" | 01:07 |
| johnlittle | yep..clear communication up front is better than damage control. | 01:07 |
| poningru | hehe | 01:08 |
| Burgwork | Flannel, I believe that is being fixed | 01:08 |
| Flannel | Burgwork: I'm no expert, but I believe it's not really fixable, without a major rewrite of the liveCD format -- it's an image instead of a bunch of packages, but again, I'm no expert | 01:08 |
| Burgwork | yes, it is an image | 01:09 |
| Burgwork | however, there is a dist-upgrader | 01:09 |
| Burgwork | check it out | 01:09 |
| Flannel | link? or what? | 01:09 |
| Burgwork | ask mvo | 01:10 |
| Burgwork | he knows more than I do, because he wrote it | 01:10 |
| johnlittle | burgwork: any progress on getting someone to handle the fridge admin work? | 01:45 |
| Burgwork | fridge admin? no, have not followed that up | 01:45 |
| Burgwork | would you be able to? | 01:46 |
| === poningru tries to figure out why his press kit idea was such a bummer | ||
| johnlittle | Yeah I could but they need someone they know - a member | 01:49 |
| Burgwork | poningru, it is not a bummer, just that it is boring ;) | 01:50 |
| Burgwork | however, very necessary | 01:50 |
| Burgwork | johnlittle, apply to be a member already. I will advocate for you, as will anybody else in the marketing team, I would imagine | 01:50 |
| johnlittle | I'm going to sign up for the next meeting | 01:51 |
| poningru | hehe | 01:51 |
| Burgwork | make sure you ping me | 01:51 |
| Burgwork | I have a habit of forgetting about the CC meetings | 01:52 |
| johnlittle | Burgwork: ok im officially on the agenda. | 01:59 |
| Burgwork | excellent | 02:00 |
| Burgwork | when is the next one? | 02:00 |
| Burgwork | poningru, can you start a Knot3 page? | 02:02 |
| Burgwork | johnlittle, elkbuntu could you? | 02:02 |
| Burgwork | my schedule is crazy busy until Thursday night, which is too late | 02:02 |
| poningru | sure | 02:03 |
| Burgwork | thanks | 02:03 |
| Burgwork | use the previous Knot pages as a template | 02:04 |
| poningru | yep | 02:04 |
| Burgwork | big stuff currentlly is GNOME 2.16 and new artwork | 02:04 |
| Burgwork | anyway, got to run | 02:05 |
| poningru | cya | 02:05 |

| kostkon | hi all | 03:26 |
| matthewrevell | hey | 03:27 |
| kostkon | i want to do a small marketing campaign. I want to print A4 posters with black-white laser printer and post the to my uni student billboards | 03:29 |
| matthewrevell | cool | 03:30 |
| matthewrevell | Have you joined our mailing list? | 03:30 |
| kostkon | i found these to use from this thread, I want to use these two designs, do you believe it's OK, anything better to offer. They are good for black-white printings. Links follows: | 03:30 |

| matthewrevell | biab | 03:31 |
| kostkon | matthewrevell, biab? | 03:32 |
| MenZa | back in a bit. | 03:32 |
| MenZa | seen MitchM lately? | 03:32 |
| kostkon | MenZa, OK, got it | 03:32 |
| kostkon | anyone else? what do you think? | 03:41 |
| kostkon | ... nothing... | 03:41 |
| MenZa | I don't like it. | 03:42 |
| === MenZa ducks | ||
| MenZa | I really liked that orange thingamajic someone posted on the forums. | 03:42 |
| kostkon | MenZa, come on, you came after i said what i said, you know? eh? :P | 03:42 |
| MenZa | :D | 03:42 |
| MenZa | Too much text. | 03:43 |
| MenZa | Not enough colour. | 03:43 |
| kostkon | sorry wrong, you menza the first guy | 03:43 |
| kostkon | anything better, then? | 03:43 |
| MenZa | Pardon? | 03:43 |
| kostkon | you're menza i mean | 03:43 |
| kostkon | forget it | 03:44 |
| kostkon | now about the posters | 03:44 |
| lophyte | I think they're not bad | 03:44 |
| MenZa | http://www.gasteropodica.net/ablage/ubuntu/ubuntu_idea01.jpg <- I like this one. | 03:44 |
| kostkon | MenZa, w8 to check | 03:44 |
| lophyte | MenZa: that'd look crappy in black and white :P | 03:45 |
| MenZa | That's why it's not to be black/white. | 03:45 |
| kostkon | MenZa, we talk about black white printing here | 03:45 |
| MenZa | It's going to have that tint. | 03:45 |
| MenZa | Oh? | 03:45 |
| MenZa | Why+ | 03:45 |
| MenZa | ? | 03:45 |
| kostkon | MenZa, why what? why black-white? | 03:46 |
| MenZa | Why black and white, yes? | 03:46 |
| lophyte | MenZa: ever walked around downtown in a big city, and around construction sites, there's thousands of bills posted? I think that's what kostkon is aiming for | 03:46 |
| lophyte | those kinds of posters | 03:46 |
| kostkon | MenZa, because that the thing i got, black-white laser printer | 03:46 |
| MenZa | kostkon: well, we're aiming for professional printing (I work at a printer) | 03:46 |
| kostkon | MenZa, and the thing lophyte said | 03:46 |
| MenZa | With colours. | 03:46 |
| MenZa | And all the kaschnizzle. | 03:47 |
| kostkon | MenZa, yeah i understand, but I am trying to find something good for my case now | 03:47 |
| MenZa | Ah. | 03:47 |
| MenZa | I still think you need to cut down on the text. | 03:47 |
| lophyte | I don't.. I see tons of posters with lots of text, and people often read them | 03:48 |
| lophyte | there's *always* Salvador Dali posters and Dark Side of Oz posters | 03:48 |
| === MenZa glares. | ||
| lophyte | and they have tons of text | 03:48 |
| MenZa | I'd reconsider my font in any case. | 03:48 |
| kostkon | MenZa, yeah, I would stop to read them if I was curious | 03:48 |
| lophyte | I guess its a matter of your locality.. I just know in Toronto, most of the posters have a lot of text | 03:49 |

| kostkon | Even this thread I gave you the link, aims to find the one poster to be printed by the marketing team, and yet no result, so I don't have many options and I don't want to wait so much | 03:50 |
| kostkon | and I am black and white | 03:50 |
| MenZa | kostkon: how about going to a printer to have them printed? | 03:50 |
| MenZa | It can't be that expensive. | 03:50 |
| kostkon | I am poor | 03:50 |
| MenZa | (Read: unless your printer is a complete dumbfuck, it isn't expensive) | 03:50 |
| kostkon | this says it all! LOL! | 03:50 |
| MenZa | Well | 03:50 |
| lophyte | you can print 1000 b&w posters here in the city for like $30 | 03:51 |
| MenZa | $20 should get you 4 posters or so. | 03:51 |
| MenZa | lophyte: ...yes, of standard paper size. | 03:51 |
| lophyte | that's expensive :\ | 03:51 |
| MenZa | On standard paper. | 03:51 |
| MenZa | That's not called a poster. | 03:51 |
| MenZa | That's called a print. | 03:51 |
| MenZa | A standard print. | 03:51 |
| lophyte | that's what he's talking about... standard A4 posters | 03:51 |
| MenZa | :| | 03:51 |
| MenZa | Yes, those are even less expensive. | 03:51 |
| kostkon | MenZa, I can give no more than 2, about $4? is going to be a cheap but effective (i hope) campaign | 03:51 |
| lophyte | I've been considering doing the same thing here... | 03:52 |
| MenZa | Mind, I don't think you can just hang them wherever you want to. | 03:52 |
| MenZa | You need permission :p | 03:52 |
| lophyte | printing off a ton of A4 posters | 03:52 |
| kostkon | MenZa, we have student billboards, no permission needed. | 03:52 |
| MenZa | kostkon: good idea :) | 03:52 |
| kostkon | MenZa, ;) | 03:52 |
| lophyte | we have certain lamp posts that are "Designated posting spots" | 03:52 |
| kostkon | lophyte, "lamp"?? | 03:53 |
| MenZa | kostkon: if I were more familiar with the school I went to, I'd consider doing that aswell | 03:53 |
| lophyte | er.. you know.. street light posts... | 03:53 |
| lophyte | also used for overhead electrical cables :P | 03:53 |
| kostkon | lophyte, Ahh got confused, OK | 03:53 |
| kostkon | lophyte, yeah, OK | 03:53 |
| lophyte | :) | 03:53 |
| MenZa | !lamp | 03:54 |
| MenZa | ah, no bots :( | 03:54 |
| lophyte | I'm considering just doing up our own Ubuntu Toronto poster | 03:54 |
| kostkon | MenZa, LOL | 03:54 |
| lophyte | I'll have to add that to the meeting agenda | 03:54 |
| kostkon | lophyte, oh you mean location-based posters | 03:54 |
| kostkon | lophyte, i killed the sentence | 03:55 |
| kostkon | lophyte, you know what i mean | 03:55 |
| lophyte | yeah.. we have a Ubuntu users group in Toronto, so I figured we'd do up our own posters | 03:55 |
| kostkon | lophyte, that's great!! if you make a poster that would be more easily absorder by the local minds, it's great!! | 03:56 |
| lophyte | hopefully | 03:56 |
| kostkon | absorded* | 03:56 |
| kostkon | lophyte, now for me, I know compared to you, mine would be generic, is this good enough??! | 03:56 |
| kostkon | for a poster | 03:57 |
| kostkon | OK, anyway, I'll do it with these two. I wanted to take photos also, but no camera at this moment. I will not be able to have proof that I did that. Anyway, wish me luck. | 03:59 |
| kostkon | lophyte, is this enough to get me into the marketing team?! (just kidding). Seriously, I want to be a member. | 04:00 |
| lophyte | kostkon: then sign up :) | 04:39 |
| poningru | is it just me or are the forums a bit slow today? | 04:48 |
| poningru | ah ic the msg | 04:53 |
| kostkon | lophyte, ok i'll find a way | 05:04 |
| kostkon | lophyte, mailing list, forums, wiki | 05:04 |
