jenda | muhehe... http://www.monipodio.net/tmp/poster-layout.jpg | 10:07 |
jenda | That's the final layout. Goes out to pringing soon. | 10:08 |
Capso | Looking good. | 10:11 |
Capso | jenda: You draw that? | 10:12 |
jenda | nope | 10:12 |
jenda | Would love to say I did, but no, HanZo did. | 10:12 |
jenda | I came up with the competition for the best design. | 10:13 |
BHSPitLappy | that's a very nice looking competition, jenda! | 10:13 |
BHSPitLappy | great work! :) | 10:13 |
jenda | thx | 10:13 |
jenda | I can't WAIT to see those on paper. | 10:13 |
BHSPitLappy | or on tall buildingsides | 10:14 |
jenda | muhehe | 10:14 |
BHSPitLappy | I actually find myself having trouble promoting switching to linux, though. | 10:17 |
BHSPitLappy | I don't want to lie to people. | 10:17 |
poningru | yarr mateys | 10:17 |
poningru | midterms are over, paper was just finished | 10:17 |
poningru | I think | 10:17 |
jenda | That's very correct of you, BHSPitLappy :) it wouldn't do any good anyway. | 10:17 |
BHSPitLappy | And I can't just say, "This probably won't work for you right. But please, consider changing your life around it" | 10:17 |
poningru | after some sleep | 10:17 |
poningru | will throw myself at marketing | 10:18 |
poningru | I wanna go crazy for edgy release | 10:18 |
poningru | marketing blitz | 10:18 |
BHSPitLappy | lol | 10:18 |
jenda | muhehe | 10:18 |
BHSPitLappy | paint the town brown! | 10:18 |
jenda | poningru: I think you'll need posters. | 10:18 |
poningru | YEAH | 10:18 |
poningru | see I wanna get all the loco teams to send out EPKs to as many media outlets as possible | 10:19 |
BHSPitLappy | jenda, think you could help me try to find a local (to me) company that can make foily case stickers like I've been wanting? | 10:19 |
BHSPitLappy | I could do a bulk order and distribute | 10:19 |
BHSPitLappy | but I don't even know where to begin looking for someone who can make these things | 10:19 |
jenda | BHSPitLappy: That'd be really great. | 10:19 |
jenda | BHSPitLappy: where do you live? | 10:20 |
jenda | It's all in the printers :) | 10:20 |
BHSPitLappy | DFW area, texas | 10:20 |
jenda | DFW? :) | 10:20 |
BHSPitLappy | I don't really see the marketing value in the stickers very much, I just want one for myself. | 10:20 |
jenda | BHSPitLappy: there is none. | 10:21 |
BHSPitLappy | when you think about it, stickers are just for existing users. | 10:21 |
jenda | It was a proof of concept batch. | 10:21 |
jenda | Very exact thinking. | 10:21 |
BHSPitLappy | swag for existing users isn't a bad thing, though :) | 10:21 |
BHSPitLappy | DFW = Dallas / Fort Worth | 10:21 |
jenda | aha, ok | 10:22 |
jenda | BHSPitLappy: See if this is any help... http://www.printaccess.com/main/piamidam/index_G.html | 10:28 |
jenda | And this could help too... http://www.printcities.com/printing_companies_directo.htm | 10:29 |

jenda | BHSPitLappy: What I did was that i wrote a polite email asking about the options on stickers etc. and sent it to about five printers. Only two responded, and I chose one. | 10:29 |
=== yama_ [n=yama@ppp12-60.lns2.syd7.internode.on.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["kthnxbye!"] | ||
jenda | Choose one that values their customer :) | 10:29 |
jenda | And be prepared to order 1000 stickers. | 10:30 |
jenda | I already sold 1000, and now I have 500 more - it doesn't seem to be a problem. | 10:30 |
BHSPitLappy | well, this is going to be more difficult. | 10:31 |
BHSPitLappy | I want one that looks as good as the windows sticker on this thing | 10:31 |
jenda | Yes, everyone knows what they look like. You can ask the printer if they can make it look like the windows stikcer.... | 10:32 |
jenda | I suppose they could make 500 if 1000 seems too much to you, but it won't be cheap. | 10:32 |
jenda | You will still probably be even able to make a profit. | 10:32 |
BHSPitLappy | I would try to sell a chunk of them to you :P | 10:34 |
BHSPitLappy | it's too bad I don't work in shipping anymore | 10:35 |
poningru | god wtf is up with canonical taking forever to make announcement | 10:35 |
BHSPitLappy | I've got to be off to bed, gnight | 10:35 |
poningru | nn guys | 10:35 |
BHSPitLappy | what announcement | 10:35 |
jenda | good night | 10:36 |

MenZa | I don't have any. | 07:24 |
MenZa | Never found it a necessity. | 07:25 |
MenZa | After all, I don't contribute much :) | 07:25 |
Mitch_ | hmm... | 07:25 |
Mitch_ | who made the other powered by stickers? | 07:25 |
Mitch_ | the Kubuntu ones | 07:25 |
Mitch_ | and what-not | 07:25 |
MenZa | I did. | 07:25 |
MenZa | I made them. | 07:25 |

popey | o/ | 12:01 |
jenda | yay ;) | 12:01 |
popey | I may get called away for baby-feeding at any moment | 12:01 |
popey | hello | 12:01 |
jenda | hehe :) | 12:02 |
jenda | jono said you were thinking of selling some marketing material | 12:02 |
popey | ahhh | 12:02 |
popey | *that* idea | 12:02 |
jenda | I'm very interested in this, but of course, in all your other marketing ideas. | 12:02 |
=== cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
popey | well, it struck me that we have cafepress, which lets be honest isn't great, it's a generic logo on an item | 12:03 |
=== cbx33 is being nosey | ||
popey | oi! trunky wanna bun? | 12:03 |
jenda | cbx33: not at all ;) | 12:03 |
popey | :) | 12:03 |
jenda | popey: agreed | 12:03 |
jenda | In that case I understand why jono notified me :) | 12:03 |
popey | A uk/european based channel for selling merchandise would be great for us over here | 12:04 |
popey | need to do some sums really | 12:04 |
cbx33 | popey, ++ | 12:04 |
popey | it's all just floaty ideas at the moment | 12:04 |
jenda | I'm working on creating a website that'd encourage people to create DIY material themselves and sell it out to the community. The site would also serve as a portal for the info at hand | 12:04 |
popey | plus if it's a little more bespoke then it can be less bland/generic than cafepress | 12:05 |
popey | and people might be more inclined to buy more stuff | 12:05 |
popey | (which is good) | 12:05 |
jenda | And, in order to prove how entirely possible this is, I created a batch of 1000 Ubuntu stickers, now have several hundred more from MenZa and am working on posters. | 12:05 |
cbx33 | popey, like an ubuntu thinkgeek ;) | 12:05 |
jenda | ok | 12:05 |
popey | user submitted designs would also be neat | 12:05 |
popey | yeah, I saw your poster, like it | 12:05 |
jenda | honestly, I think we will have _only_ user submitted designs :) | 12:06 |
popey | well there's the generic stuff | 12:06 |
jenda | that's the way the FLOSS world works ;) | 12:06 |
jenda | ok, true | 12:06 |
popey | ubuntu / kubuntu / edubuntu logos on t-shirts/mouse mats etc | 12:06 |
popey | which some people like | 12:06 |
jenda | but still there has to be someone to create+print that out. | 12:06 |
popey | but yeah, different stuff is good | 12:06 |
