[06:45] ytmnd ftw [06:46] I really dig the obey ubuntu posters madpilot whipped up [06:47] yeah, but I wouldn't put them up somewhere [06:47] I mean, does it really send the right message? [06:48] 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] BHSPitLappy: there are plenty of places those posters may be placed, or distributed, legally [06:48] it would make more sense if it were a microsoft poster [06:50] BHSPitLappy: I don't see how [06:51] they're not very "welcoming". [06:51] rather, they're kind of arrogant/bossy/belittling [06:52] 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 [06:53] well, nintendo's in the same position, trying to reach out to grandma here, new audiences that have been excluded from a field [06:54] and I don't see ad posters at wal-mart blaring "OBEY NINTENDO" at little old grandma [06:54] hmm, that really creates a bond, eh [06:54] good feelings [06:54] that sense of trust [06:54] BHSPitLappy: well the obey ubuntu posters don't say OBEY ;) [06:55] they just say UBUNTU in caps with a logo above and fine print at the bottom [06:55] but I see your point were they to say that [06:55] and grandma is usually introduced to operating systems in different ways, usually by family [06:56] 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.

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. [06:58] Flannel: the url above explains it, just copy/paste the entire bit [06:58] lotusleaf: it's ok, I googled ;) [06:59] ah that url doesn't work anyway, darn it [06:59] Flannel: good :P [06:59] although, to be honest, I wouldn't have ever recognized that as Andre the giant [06:59] not that that matters [07:00] andre the giant is effing huge [07:01] BHSPitLappy: I bet he ate ALL his vegetables =) [07:01] I bet he ate ALL vegetables, period. === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-219-183.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [07:09] lol === Flannel wants to see a genie answer "mu"!

[09:53] I always liked that pic, wherever it resides [09:56] no, it's another one, more or less full face, no spacesuit [09:59] use the one from his Register interview [09:59] or was that CNet [10:00] Flannel, link me?

Many people would have preferred them lighter. [12:16] :-D [12:16] I paid 200czk for your shipment :D [12:16] uh oh [12:16] letter from tax authorities [12:17] ah [12:17] just a new taxation card [12:17] phew [12:17] jenda: will you need a new shipment of stickers soon?

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