| BHSPitLappy | nope | 06:44 |
| BHSPitLappy | we're not +T right now | 06:45 |
| lotusleaf | well #1, make it so | 06:45 |
| === BHSPitLappy looks around | ||
| lotusleaf | captain jean luc picard of the u - s - s enterprise! | 06:45 |
| BHSPitLappy | ytmnd ftw | 06:45 |
| lotusleaf | I really dig the obey ubuntu posters madpilot whipped up | 06:46 |
| BHSPitLappy | yeah, but I wouldn't put them up somewhere | 06:47 |
| BHSPitLappy | I mean, does it really send the right message? | 06:47 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: if they're placed in areas where permission was granted legally by the property owner to put them there, what message is that sending? | 06:48 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: there are plenty of places those posters may be placed, or distributed, legally | 06:48 |
| BHSPitLappy | it would make more sense if it were a microsoft poster | 06:48 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: I don't see how | 06:50 |
| BHSPitLappy | they're not very "welcoming". | 06:51 |
| BHSPitLappy | rather, they're kind of arrogant/bossy/belittling | 06:51 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: perhaps I'm looking at them from a different angle, then. I see them as gritty and interesting enough to make the person think, "Ubuntu?" and look into it | 06:52 |
| BHSPitLappy | well, nintendo's in the same position, trying to reach out to grandma here, new audiences that have been excluded from a field | 06:53 |
| BHSPitLappy | and I don't see ad posters at wal-mart blaring "OBEY NINTENDO" at little old grandma | 06:54 |
| BHSPitLappy | hmm, that really creates a bond, eh | 06:54 |
| BHSPitLappy | good feelings | 06:54 |
| BHSPitLappy | that sense of trust | 06:54 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: well the obey ubuntu posters don't say OBEY ;) | 06:54 |
| lotusleaf | they just say UBUNTU in caps with a logo above and fine print at the bottom | 06:55 |
| lotusleaf | but I see your point were they to say that | 06:55 |
| lotusleaf | and grandma is usually introduced to operating systems in different ways, usually by family | 06:55 |
| Flannel | BHSPitLappy: http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Ubuntu_Posters_Roughcut/Ubuntu-roughcut.png they're called "Obey ubuntu" because... I suppose they take inspiration from those "OBEY" stickers... for... whatever on earth that is for. | 06:56 |
| lotusleaf | Flannel: wikipedia has a good article on the obey the giant (andre the giant) thing | 06:56 |
| lotusleaf | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%A9_the_Giant_Has_a_Posse | 06:57 |
| lotusleaf | darn urls | 06:57 |
| Flannel | lotusleaf: er... is that what it was originally from? Sure. obey on google leads to obeygiant.com, so... mhm. I suppose that is. Not that I had any idea. Always thought it was some stupid punk band. | 06:57 |
| lotusleaf | Flannel: the url above explains it, just copy/paste the entire bit | 06:58 |
| Flannel | lotusleaf: it's ok, I googled ;) | 06:58 |
| lotusleaf | ah that url doesn't work anyway, darn it | 06:59 |
| lotusleaf | Flannel: good :P | 06:59 |
| Flannel | although, to be honest, I wouldn't have ever recognized that as Andre the giant | 06:59 |
| Flannel | not that that matters | 06:59 |
| BHSPitLappy | andre the giant is effing huge | 07:00 |
| lotusleaf | BHSPitLappy: I bet he ate ALL his vegetables =) | 07:01 |

| Madpilot | actually, I found a photo of Mark that would work after being converted to only black & white, so it might not need that much persuasion | 09:51 |

| lotusleaf | is it one of him in the side view in a space suit? | 09:53 |

| Madpilot | no, it's another one, more or less full face, no spacesuit | 09:56 |
| Flannel | use the one from his Register interview | 09:59 |

| Flannel | It's a bit small, but you're going to take away so much detail that it'll probably work | 10:04 |
| Madpilot | true - reducing something to just black & white (no greyscale, just black on white) doesn't exactly need high-quality source files :) | 10:05 |

| MenZaLap | jenda: just received the stickers. Not bad, a bit dark--but otherwise nice. Like the Ubuntu logo.- | 12:15 |
| jenda | :) | 12:15 |
| jenda | they are a bit dark, yes. | 12:15 |
| MenZaLap | And 10czk for shipment | 12:16 |
| jenda | I liked them that way, though. Many people would have preferred them lighter. | 12:16 |
| jenda | :-D | 12:16 |
| MenZaLap | I paid 200czk for your shipment :D | 12:16 |
| MenZaLap | uh oh | 12:16 |
| MenZaLap | letter from tax authorities | 12:16 |
| MenZaLap | ah | 12:17 |
| MenZaLap | just a new taxation card | 12:17 |
| MenZaLap | phew | 12:17 |
| MenZaLap | jenda: will you need a new shipment of stickers soon? | 12:17 |
| jenda | MenZaLap: Nope :( | 12:18 |
| MenZaLap | heh | 12:18 |
| MenZaLap | If you do, you know where to find me | 12:18 |

| === MenZaLap needs to print a few for himself | ||
| MenZaLap | Bastards! | 12:18 |
| jenda | I'll send you a few - which ones do you want? | 12:18 |
| jenda | So, the little ones are largely untouched. But - the big logo ones and the white 'bumper' stickers tend to be popular. | 12:20 |
| jenda | It has still generated a decent income to help with the posters, really. | 12:20 |
| MenZaLap | oh no, nevermind | 12:22 |
| MenZaLap | Cheaper for me to print them | 12:23 |
| MenZaLap | Wait--the small ones are untouched? | 12:23 |

| jenda | Yes. no one buys them now that system76 ships for free. | 12:27 |
| jenda | :) | 12:27 |
| jenda | I mean - I wouldn't either :-D | 12:27 |
| MenZaLap | lol | 12:28 |
