jendanope10:12
jendaWould love to say I did, but no, HanZo did.10:12
jendaI came up with the competition for the best design.10:13
BHSPitLappythat's a very nice looking competition, jenda!10:13
BHSPitLappygreat work! :)10:13
jendathx 10:13
jendaI can't WAIT to see those on paper.10:13
BHSPitLappyor on tall buildingsides10:14
jendamuhehe10:14
BHSPitLappyI actually find myself having trouble promoting switching to linux, though.10:17
BHSPitLappyI don't want to lie to people.10:17
poningruyarr mateys10:17
poningrumidterms are over, paper was just finished10:17
poningruI think10:17
jendaThat's very correct of you, BHSPitLappy :) it wouldn't do any good anyway.10:17
BHSPitLappyAnd I can't just say, "This probably won't work for you right. But please, consider changing your life around it"10:17
poningruafter some sleep10:17
poningruwill throw myself at marketing10:18
poningruI wanna go crazy for edgy release10:18

jendaponingru: I think you'll need posters.10:18
poningruYEAH10:18
poningrusee I wanna get all the loco teams to send out EPKs to as many media outlets as possible10:19
BHSPitLappyjenda, 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
BHSPitLappyI could do a bulk order and distribute10:19
BHSPitLappybut I don't even know where to begin looking for someone who can make these things10:19
jendaBHSPitLappy: That'd be really great.10:19
jendaBHSPitLappy: where do you live?10:20
jendaIt's all in the printers :)10:20
BHSPitLappyDFW area, texas10:20
jendaDFW? :)10:20
BHSPitLappyI don't really see the marketing value in the stickers very much, I just want one for myself.10:20
jendaBHSPitLappy: there is none.10:21
BHSPitLappywhen you think about it, stickers are just for existing users.10:21
jendaIt was a proof of concept batch.10:21
jendaVery exact thinking.10:21
BHSPitLappyswag for existing users isn't a bad thing, though :)10:21
BHSPitLappyDFW = Dallas / Fort Worth10:21
jendaaha, ok10:22
jendaBHSPitLappy: See if this is any help... http://www.printaccess.com/main/piamidam/index_G.html10:28
jendaAnd this could help too... http://www.printcities.com/printing_companies_directo.htm10:29

jendaBHSPitLappy: 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!"]
jendaChoose one that values their customer :)10:29
jendaAnd be prepared to order 1000 stickers.10:30
jendaI already sold 1000, and now I have 500 more - it doesn't seem to be a problem.10:30
BHSPitLappywell, this is going to be more difficult.10:31
BHSPitLappyI want one that looks as good as the windows sticker on this thing10:31
jendaYes, everyone knows what they look like. You can ask the printer if they can make it look like the windows stikcer....10:32
jendaI suppose they could make 500 if 1000 seems too much to you, but it won't be cheap.10:32
jendaYou will still probably be even able to make a profit.10:32
BHSPitLappyI would try to sell a chunk of them to you :P10:34
BHSPitLappyit's too bad I don't work in shipping anymore10:35
poningrugod wtf is up with canonical taking forever to make announcement10:35

jendayay ;)12:01
popeyI may get called away for baby-feeding at any moment12:01
popeyhello12:01
jendahehe :)12:02
jendajono said you were thinking of selling some marketing material12:02
popeyahhh12:02
popey*that* idea12:02
jendaI'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
popeywell, it struck me that we have cafepress, which lets be honest isn't great, it's a generic logo on an item12:03
=== cbx33 is being nosey
popeyoi! trunky wanna bun?12:03
jendacbx33: not at all ;)12:03
popey:)12:03
jendapopey: agreed12:03
jendaIn that case I understand why jono notified me :)12:03
popeyA uk/european based channel for selling merchandise would be great for us over here12:04
popeyneed to do some sums really12:04
cbx33popey, ++12:04
popeyit's all just floaty ideas at the moment12:04
jendaI'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 hand12:04
popeyplus if it's a little more bespoke then it can be less bland/generic than cafepress12:05
popeyand people might be more inclined to buy more stuff12:05
popey(which is good)12:05
jendaAnd, 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
cbx33popey, like an ubuntu thinkgeek ;)12:05
jendaok12:05
popeyuser submitted designs would also be neat12:05
popeyyeah, I saw your poster, like it12:05
jendahonestly, I think we will have _only_ user submitted designs :)12:06
popeywell there's the generic stuff12:06
jendathat's the way the FLOSS world works ;)12:06
jendaok, true12:06
popeyubuntu / kubuntu / edubuntu logos on t-shirts/mouse mats etc12:06
popeywhich some people like12:06
jendabut still there has to be someone to create+print that out.12:06
popeybut yeah, different stuff is good12:06
