[01:01] any thoughts on the shipit plan for edgy? [01:02] johnlittle, I like it [01:02] a little bit of everything [01:02] allowing purchasing of cds is a good thing [01:04] 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] here is how I would spin it: [01:05] wait what? [01:05] Canonical is proud to announce the availablity of CDs for purchase, alongside the existing shipit program" [01:05] link? [01:05] poningru it was an email to the -marketing ML === poningru reads [01:06] sorry busy with sfd [01:06] Burgwork: they going to ship alternate CDs again? [01:06] 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] Flannel, no [01:07] Burgwork: sigh. Do they not realize people can't upgrade from Desktop ISOs? [01:07] 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] yep [01:07] johnlittle, absolutely [01:07] make it clear this is an addition, not something a subtraction [01:07] "due to large volume of requests for such a service" [01:07] yep..clear communication up front is better than damage control. [01:08] hehe [01:08] Flannel, I believe that is being fixed [01:08] 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 [01:09] yes, it is an image [01:09] however, there is a dist-upgrader [01:09] check it out [01:09] link? or what? [01:10] ask mvo [01:10] he knows more than I do, because he wrote it [01:45] burgwork: any progress on getting someone to handle the fridge admin work? [01:45] fridge admin? no, have not followed that up [01:46] would you be able to? === poningru tries to figure out why his press kit idea was such a bummer [01:49] Yeah I could but they need someone they know - a member [01:50] poningru, it is not a bummer, just that it is boring ;) [01:50] however, very necessary [01:50] johnlittle, apply to be a member already. I will advocate for you, as will anybody else in the marketing team, I would imagine [01:51] I'm going to sign up for the next meeting [01:51] hehe [01:51] make sure you ping me [01:52] I have a habit of forgetting about the CC meetings [01:59] Burgwork: ok im officially on the agenda. [02:00] excellent [02:00] when is the next one? [02:02] poningru, can you start a Knot3 page? [02:02] johnlittle, elkbuntu could you? [02:02] my schedule is crazy busy until Thursday night, which is too late [02:03] sure [02:03] thanks [02:04] use the previous Knot pages as a template [02:04] yep [02:04] big stuff currentlly is GNOME 2.16 and new artwork [02:05] anyway, got to run [02:05] cya === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-246-239.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === gaz00 [n=gaz00@HSE-Ottawa-ppp325960.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-246-239.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-246-239.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Cogito_ergo_sum [n=c27@201.211.5.120] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === lophyte [n=dave@bas5-toronto63-1128749121.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adamant1988 [n=adam@doc-24-206-202-2.el.wv.cebridge.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:47] hello everyone === nixternal [n=nixterna@71.194.189.213] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === MagicFab [n=magicfab@modemcable113.78-83-70.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adamant1988 [n=adam@doc-24-206-202-2.el.wv.cebridge.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === Rinchen [n=Rinchen@ubuntu/member/rinchen] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-246-239.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-120-239-162.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-120-239-162.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === klepas [n=klepas@203-213-31-142.static.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === matthewrevell [i=synchron@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Plug [n=crb@203-167-190-117.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === klepas [n=klepas@203-213-31-142.static.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === matthewrevell [i=synchron@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === kostkon [n=kostkon@ewf83q.ugrad.abdn.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:26] hi all [03:27] hey [03:29] 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 [03:30] cool [03:30] Have you joined our mailing list? [03:30] 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.

[03:32] back in a bit. [03:32] seen MitchM lately? [03:32] MenZa, OK, got it [03:41] anyone else? what do you think? [03:41] ... nothing... [03:42] I don't like it. === MenZa ducks [03:42] I really liked that orange thingamajic someone posted on the forums. [03:42] MenZa, come on, you came after i said what i said, you know? eh? :P [03:42] :D [03:43] Too much text. [03:43] Not enough colour. [03:43] sorry wrong, you menza the first guy [03:43] anything better, then? [03:43] Pardon? [03:43] you're menza i mean [03:44] forget it [03:44] now about the posters [03:44] I think they're not bad [03:44] http://www.gasteropodica.net/ablage/ubuntu/ubuntu_idea01.jpg <- I like this one. [03:44] MenZa, w8 to check [03:45] MenZa: that'd look crappy in black and white :P [03:45] That's why it's not to be black/white. [03:45] MenZa, we talk about black white printing here [03:45] It's going to have that tint. [03:45] Oh? [03:45] Why+ [03:45] ? [03:46] MenZa, why what? why black-white? [03:46] Why black and white, yes? [03:46] 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] those kinds of posters [03:46] MenZa, because that the thing i got, black-white laser printer [03:46] kostkon: well, we're aiming for professional printing (I work at a printer) [03:46] MenZa, and the thing lophyte said [03:46] With colours. [03:47] And all the kaschnizzle. [03:47] MenZa, yeah i understand, but I am trying to find something good for my case now [03:47] Ah. [03:47] I still think you need to cut down on the text. [03:48] I don't.. I see tons of posters with lots of text, and people often read them [03:48] there's *always* Salvador Dali posters and Dark Side of Oz posters === MenZa glares. [03:48] and they have tons of text [03:48] I'd reconsider my font in any case. [03:48] MenZa, yeah, I would stop to read them if I was curious [03:49] I guess its a matter of your locality.. I just know in Toronto, most of the posters have a lot of text === mindspin [n=mindspin@pD95FE06E.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:50] 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] and I am black and white [03:50] kostkon: how about going to a printer to have them printed? [03:50] It can't be that expensive. [03:50] I am poor [03:50] (Read: unless your printer is a complete dumbfuck, it isn't expensive) [03:50] this says it all! LOL! [03:50] Well [03:51] you can print 1000 b&w posters here in the city for like $30 [03:51] $20 should get you 4 posters or so. [03:51] lophyte: ...yes, of standard paper size. [03:51] that's expensive :\ [03:51] On standard paper. [03:51] That's not called a poster. [03:51] That's called a print. [03:51] A standard print. [03:51] that's what he's talking about... standard A4 posters [03:51] :| [03:51] Yes, those are even less expensive. [03:51] MenZa, I can give no more than 2, about $4? is going to be a cheap but effective (i hope) campaign [03:52] I've been considering doing the same thing here... [03:52] Mind, I don't think you can just hang them wherever you want to. [03:52] You need permission :p [03:52] printing off a ton of A4 posters [03:52] MenZa, we have student billboards, no permission needed. [03:52] kostkon: good idea :) [03:52] MenZa, ;) [03:52] we have certain lamp posts that are "Designated posting spots" [03:53] lophyte, "lamp"?? [03:53] kostkon: if I were more familiar with the school I went to, I'd consider doing that aswell [03:53] er.. you know.. street light posts... [03:53] also used for overhead electrical cables :P [03:53] lophyte, Ahh got confused, OK [03:53] lophyte, yeah, OK [03:53] :) [03:54] !lamp [03:54] ah, no bots :( [03:54] I'm considering just doing up our own Ubuntu Toronto poster [03:54] MenZa, LOL [03:54] I'll have to add that to the meeting agenda [03:54] lophyte, oh you mean location-based posters [03:55] lophyte, i killed the sentence [03:55] lophyte, you know what i mean [03:55] yeah.. we have a Ubuntu users group in Toronto, so I figured we'd do up our own posters [03:56] lophyte, that's great!! if you make a poster that would be more easily absorder by the local minds, it's great!! [03:56] hopefully [03:56] absorded* [03:56] lophyte, now for me, I know compared to you, mine would be generic, is this good enough??! [03:57] for a poster [03:59] 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. [04:00] lophyte, is this enough to get me into the marketing team?! (just kidding). Seriously, I want to be a member. [04:39] kostkon: then sign up :) [04:48] is it just me or are the forums a bit slow today? [04:53] ah ic the msg [05:04] lophyte, ok i'll find a way [05:04] lophyte, mailing list, forums, wiki [05:16] poningru, the forums are slow every day!! [05:16] anyway, see ya!!
