| poningru | brian98: whatsup? | 06:15 |
| brian98 | poningru, I was looking at doing some marketing in Ireland. | 06:17 |
| brian98 | I run a company been involved in network support etc.. for the past 14 yrs.. Back to novell days | 06:17 |
| brian98 | Just wondering who would be the best person to talk to about marketing support. Or what way it works. I notice Ireland is not very well represented | 06:18 |
| poningru | woah | 06:22 |
| poningru | hmm | 06:22 |
| brian98 | ? | 06:22 |
| poningru | well best thing to do would be to join create a loco team | 06:22 |
| poningru | err join/create* | 06:23 |
| poningru | brian98: it depends on what kinda marketing you want to do | 06:23 |
| poningru | if you want to traditional you can just do things like sign up to be a ubuntu affiliate | 06:23 |
| poningru | normal ads etc. | 06:23 |
| poningru | but if you want to do community based marketing | 06:24 |
| Madpilot | There are some very active members of the Ubuntu community from Ireland - ompaul, for one | 06:24 |
| poningru | yeah and canonical is based off of Isle of man | 06:24 |
| elkbuntu | i've directed him to contact mr ompaul :) | 06:24 |
| poningru | awesome | 06:24 |
| brian98 | ok cool! | 06:32 |
| brian98 | If you could ask ompaul to conact me maybe | 06:32 |
| brian98 | forget it | 06:32 |
| brian98 | I just seen elkbuntu's msg | 06:32 |
| brian98 | thanks for you help | 06:32 |

| elkbuntu | ompaul, twas brian98 | 09:11 |
| ompaul | hmm | 09:11 |
| ompaul | brian98, give me a yell on 087 6205222 later on :-) | 09:12 |
| ompaul | it is a bit eriler | 09:12 |
| ompaul | early even | 09:12 |
| elkbuntu | i directed him to your LP page and to the contact information for the ie loco | 09:12 |
| ompaul | thanks | 09:12 |
| ompaul | well as you can see I directed him to my phone - very fast way to exchange information | 09:12 |
| ompaul | :) | 09:12 |
| elkbuntu | indeed | 09:13 |
| ompaul | however it is not IRC :) | 09:13 |
| ompaul | I had to rebuild my hardware machine to do the "write the dvd" for edgy | 09:13 |
| elkbuntu | o.O | 09:14 |
| elkbuntu | alternative disk still too big? | 09:15 |
| ompaul | I just did a DVD burn | 09:15 |
| ompaul | there are no CDs in the cdimage. ... /edgy/beta | 09:15 |
| ompaul | so I guess so | 09:15 |
| ompaul | but then it is edgy :) | 09:15 |
| ompaul | I do like the new splash | 09:16 |
| === ompaul thinks that nautilus should do a no clobber option | ||
| === ompaul goes to report a bug | ||
| ompaul | I think linux format (the uk edition (august maybe) it is orange on the outside has a great thing inside in the first editorial | 09:18 |
| ompaul | When your FLOSS software does not do what you want - Ask for it nicely | 09:18 |
| elkbuntu | hehe | 09:19 |
| ompaul | if it is faulty report it | 09:19 |
| ompaul | I used it on some staff - I handed them the article and asked them to read it - it is two paragraphs | 09:19 |
| ompaul | long | 09:19 |
| ompaul | so it was like 200 words on why you need to report things that may not appear to matter :) | 09:19 |
| ompaul | or do matter but you don't think | 09:20 |
| ompaul | about their impact on someone less computer literate than yourself | 09:20 |

| elkbuntu | <jenda> fortunately not too much taller than I ;) | 11:24 |
| MenZa | XD | 11:25 |
| MenZa | He is quite tiny | 11:25 |
| MenZa | :O | 11:25 |

| MenZa | Afternoon :D | 02:24 |
| jenda | Hello MenZa :) | 02:25 |
| jenda | How was da trip? | 02:25 |
| MenZa | It was good, actually. | 02:25 |
| MenZa | Slept most of the way | 02:25 |
| jenda | (not the drugs - I know those were good..) | 02:25 |
| MenZa | lol | 02:25 |
| MenZa | I'm just attempting to upload my photos now, but uploadr is being a bitch. | 02:25 |
| jenda | OMG: http://www.gasteropodica.net/ablage/ubuntu/poster-v01.jpg | 02:48 |
| jenda | MenZa, elkbuntu, nixternal, ompaul, ping ^ | 02:48 |
| elkbuntu | i see | 02:48 |
| elkbuntu | teh awesome | 02:49 |
| === MenZa clicks | ||
| MenZa | not bad | 02:50 |
| MenZa | I'd like a bit more perspective on the Ubuntu logo though | 02:50 |
| MenZa | And the text looks slightly cluttered somehow. | 02:50 |
| elkbuntu | 1 typo 'availableat' and there needs to be some fade/blur behind the white text | 02:51 |
| MenZa | lol | 02:51 |
| elkbuntu | its hard to read on the yellow line | 02:51 |
| MenZa | elkbuntu: some type of highlight anyway | 02:51 |
| elkbuntu | some form of contrast | 02:51 |
| jenda | THe text will be uncluttered. | 02:52 |
| jenda | and contrasted :) | 02:52 |
| MenZa | and the white Ubuntu strip thingamajic looks out of place | 02:52 |
| jenda | other than that... IMO, we've got a winner. | 02:52 |
| === MenZa nods | ||
| elkbuntu | :) | 02:52 |
| elkbuntu | definately | 02:52 |
| MenZa | Is this a vectorised image? | 02:52 |
| elkbuntu | im doubting | 02:53 |
| MenZa | Same here. | 02:53 |
| MenZa | Which would complicate matters. | 02:53 |
| MenZa | (read: impossiblify, for a lack of a better term) | 02:53 |
| elkbuntu | not if it was a huuuuuuuuuuge image to begin with | 02:53 |
| MenZa | A poster would have to be at least 5 or 6 times the size of that. | 02:53 |
| MenZa | true, true. | 02:53 |
| elkbuntu | scan something at 1200dpi, you get a decent image size ;) | 02:54 |
| yama | elkbuntu: you're involved in LoCo mentoring, yes? | 02:54 |
| elkbuntu | yama, indeed, i am | 02:54 |
| === MenZa squees | ||
| MenZa | More perspective on the Ubuntu logo on the sign | 02:55 |
| MenZa | It looks... too artificial | 02:55 |
| yama | elkbuntu: I'd like to bring to your attention (in case you didn't already know) the English Translation project: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation | 02:55 |
| MenZa | And slightly more wear. | 02:55 |
| yama | elkbuntu: we are trying to make a unified (for all countries, particularly in the Commmonwealth) en_GB-based English translation. I was wondering if anything can be done to promote this project to other teams. | 02:56 |
| MenZa | Mmm, British English. | 02:57 |
| elkbuntu | yama, feel free to contact Plug here, in the -locoteams or -nz channels | 02:57 |
| === MenZa drools | ||
| jenda | It's a scanned image, with vector text&al, I believe | 02:57 |
| MenZa | jenda: :O | 02:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | the -au translation team is working on it afaik | 02:57 |
| jenda | as in _hand-drawn_ | 02:57 |
| jenda | :) | 02:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | jenda, :o | 02:57 |
| MenZa | jenda: figured that myself, this is damn difficult to do an a computer | 02:58 |
| MenZa | (not as if it isn't to do it in hand, but it's more so on a computer I'd say) | 02:58 |
| MenZa | Who's the artist? | 02:58 |
| MenZa | Anyone on IRC, perchance? | 02:58 |
| yama | Kamping_Kaiser: that's right. In fact, it started as a splinter from the en_AU translation. | 02:58 |
| yama | wow, that poster is amazing | 02:59 |
| yama | although there are a few minor mistakes | 02:59 |
| === Kamping_Kaiser hasnt gone near translations since before the en-au tema was formed | ||
| jenda | MenZa: no, forums, HanZo | 02:59 |
| === MenZa nods | ||
| jenda | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546 | 03:00 |
| elkbuntu | i even liked the clean simplicity of the mockup | 03:00 |
| MenZa | So did I. | 03:00 |
| yama | Kamping_Kaiser: It's much better than it used to be. We have people from all over the world working on a really cool en_GB translation, which can be then be further localised into en_AU, en_NZ and so on | 03:01 |
| yama | Kamping_Kaiser: if you're interested, I can approve you as a member (I'm an admin) | 03:01 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yama, yup. i'v seen the conversations about it in -au :) | 03:01 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yama, dont have time, i'm already doing to much :) | 03:01 |
| yama | fair enough. There's so much to do! | 03:02 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i know, i know | 03:02 |
| Fujitsu | I'd also do some, but I'm sorta tied up with MOTU stuff. | 03:03 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, i'm -almost- inclined to suggest you have him clean up one of the mocks and have two designs... | 03:04 |
| jenda | wuzzat? | 03:04 |
| jenda | aha, the first mockup, right? | 03:04 |
| jenda | yes, I liked it too. | 03:04 |
| elkbuntu | yeah | 03:04 |
| elkbuntu | because although that end product is really nice, there's some places the simplistic mock version would do better | 03:05 |
| jenda | Most probably. I'll try squeezing him for the materials, so they can be available for DL and further work. | 03:09 |
| Plug | Hi. | 03:11 |

| MenZa | Upload my damn pictures | 03:21 |
| MenZa | Speaking of which, jenda--did you happen to try Flock yet :)? | 03:23 |
| elkbuntu | oh crap. spammers have started using my domain in spam 'to' fields :( | 03:28 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | aw :( | 03:29 |

| ompaul | jenda, typo "available at one click" | 04:47 |
| jenda | I know - those things will be yet taken care of :) Final version coming. | 04:48 |
| ompaul | jenda, but it would be better to day, "available from offical downloads in just a couple of clicks, it takes care of the rest." - think it out - find and then open the application you get into a symantic arguement about if it is an accurate decription of a download - and one more line -- installed on millions of computers all around the world | 04:50 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hi ompaul :) | 04:51 |
| jenda | Well, I'm not the one who is actually doing that, but I can reword that message a bit and paste it on the forum. | 04:51 |
| jenda | ompaul: or you can, yourself, if you wish: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546 | 04:52 |
| ompaul | I'm not on the forums - I get over 400 mails a day and I try to read them all :-/ | 04:55 |
