[01:09] <Plug> 01:43 < brian98> nice plug
[01:09] <Plug> thank you ;)
[03:58] <brian98> hey all
[03:59] <brian98> Elkbuntu, wondering if you had a few minutes at some stage wouldn't mind having a pm
[04:00] <brian98> your away not to worry!
[04:06] <brian98> anyone here ?
[04:09] <brian98> I guess not
[04:49] <BHSPitLappy> heya.
[06:15] <poningru> guys the sobby server is backup
[06:15] <poningru> so please work on the UWN
[06:15] <poningru> brian98: whatsup?
[06:17] <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
[06:18] <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
[06:22] <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
[06:23] <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.
[06:24] <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
[06:32] <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
[06:59] <poningru> heh
[07:00] <poningru> so I am going to orlando afterall
[07:01] <BHSPitLappy> don't go to disneyworld
[07:01] <BHSPitLappy> universal++
[07:11] <poningru> BHSPitLappy: to meet jono
[07:11] <poningru> no disney or universal etc.
[07:11] <BHSPitLappy> k
[07:11] <poningru> BHSPitLappy: where do you live?
[07:11] <BHSPitLappy> TX
[07:11] <poningru> ah nm
[07:11] <poningru> thought you might be in fl
[07:11] <BHSPitLappy> nope
[07:11] <BHSPitLappy> I didn't think anybody really lived there
[07:12] <poningru> hehe
[07:12] <BHSPitLappy> that it was just a transitive place for tourists
[09:11] <elkbuntu> ompaul, twas brian98
[09:11] <ompaul> hmm
[09:12] <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> :)
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <elkbuntu> o.O
[09:15] <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 :)
[09:16] <ompaul> I do like the new splash
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <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 :)
[09:20] <ompaul> or do matter but you don't think
[09:20] <ompaul> about their impact on someone less computer literate than yourself
[10:54] <MenZa> I met up with Jenda yesterday :D
[10:58] <MenZa> Speaking of which, has he been around today?
[10:58] <MenZa> He mentioned his computer was kaputt yesterday; he was picking it up
[11:24] <elkbuntu> MenZa, he was on long enough to comment... let me scroll for it
[11:24] <MenZa> :D
[11:24] <elkbuntu> * jenda met up with MenZa today in Prague. Kool guy.
 fortunately not too much taller than I ;)
[11:25] <MenZa> XD
[11:25] <MenZa> He is quite tiny
[11:25] <MenZa> :O
[11:25] <MenZa> As in, I'm a head and a half taller than him
[11:25] <elkbuntu> hehe.. if you're only 15 and still taller.. wow.. that much taller.., then yeah
[11:27] <MenZa> Well, he is pretty short.
[02:03] <MenZa> graaargh
[02:03] <MenZa> When does jenda usually get on?
[02:24] <MenZa> jenda!
[02:24] <MenZa> Afternoon :D
[02:25] <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.
[02:48] <jenda> OMG: http://www.gasteropodica.net/ablage/ubuntu/poster-v01.jpg
[02:48] <jenda> MenZa, elkbuntu, nixternal, ompaul, ping ^
[02:48] <elkbuntu> i see
[02:49] <elkbuntu> teh awesome
[02:50] <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.
[02:51] <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
[02:52] <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] <elkbuntu> :)
[02:52] <elkbuntu> definately
[02:52] <MenZa> Is this a vectorised image?
[02:53] <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.
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <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.
[02:56] <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.
[02:57] <MenZa> Mmm, British English.
[02:57] <elkbuntu> yama, feel free to contact Plug here, in the -locoteams or -nz channels
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <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.
[02:59] <yama> wow, that poster is amazing
[02:59] <yama> although there are a few minor  mistakes
[02:59] <jenda> MenZa: no, forums, HanZo
[03:00] <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.
[03:01] <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 :)
[03:02] <yama> fair enough. There's so much to do!
[03:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> i know, i know
[03:03] <Fujitsu> I'd also do some, but I'm sorta tied up with MOTU stuff.
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <elkbuntu> because although that end product is really nice, there's some places the simplistic mock version would do better
[03:09] <jenda> Most probably. I'll try squeezing him for the materials, so they can be available for DL and further work.
[03:11] <Plug> Hi.
[03:11] <Plug> I'm Plug, but it's late, and you'd be best to come back to me in 12 hours.
[03:11] <elkbuntu> hehe
[03:11] <elkbuntu> g'nite plug
[03:13] <jenda> nighty night
[03:21] <MenZa> nighty :o
[03:21] <MenZa> Damn you, Flock
[03:21] <MenZa> Upload my damn pictures
[03:23] <MenZa> Speaking of which, jenda--did you happen to try Flock yet :)?
[03:28] <elkbuntu> oh crap. spammers have started using my domain in spam 'to' fields :(
[03:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> aw :(
[03:30] <MenZa> awww D:
[03:30] <jenda> MenZa: nope, wasn't at home
[03:31] <poningru> arr?
[03:31] <MenZa> jenda: :D
[03:31] <jenda> Sounds like great feedback there, MenZa ;)
[03:34] <MenZa> :D
[04:47] <ompaul> jenda, typo  "available at one click"
[04:48] <jenda> I know - those things will be yet taken care of :) Final version coming.
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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.
[04:52] <jenda> ompaul: or you can, yourself, if you wish: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546
[04:55] <ompaul> I'm not on the forums - I get over 400 mails a day and I try to read them all :-/
[04:56] <ompaul> or at least get a feel for threads
[05:00] <jenda> I know the feeling.
[08:33] <MenZa> jenda: question.
[08:33] <MenZa> What does "Neopirt" mean?
[08:58] <BHSPitLappy> new pirate?
[09:08] <MenZa> That's what I'm guessing
